Chapter 890: The Great Abyss
Zuo Youdao didn't give any response to my question, just frowned twice.
After a while, Zuo Youdao said to me: "It seems that the things on the scale can't be taken away casually...... At the very least, keep the scales balanced. ”
I also think so, this tall scale should be connected to a powerful mechanism, after the weighing pan reaches the balance, it cannot be unbalanced again, once the balance is lost, the mechanism will be touched. Otherwise, the person who came in last time would just take the jade away, and there was no need to put those two more stone crystals in.
Thinking of this, I said: "Let's start at the same time, I take the Immortal Pill, you take the stone crystal, and the empty plate should also be balanced." ”
Zuo Youdao raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing with the Immortal Pill?" ”
I could tell that he said this with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
He made me quite irritated by this, and said very unhappily: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in immortality." ”
"I didn't mean that."
"That's what you mean."
Zuo Youdao sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'm really afraid that you will covet immortality." You're different from everyone else, and if you covet this kind of thing, we're in a dead end. ”
"It's almost hopeless." I walked to Libra and urged Zuo Youdao: "Hurry up and get started, let's withdraw when it's over." ”
Zuo Youdao was still not at ease, so he stood in place and asked me, "What are you going to do with the Immortal Pill?" ”
Seeing his vigilant look, I didn't get angry, but I still answered truthfully: "This thing is here, someone will come to pick it up sooner or later, why don't we take it and destroy it." Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that there might be a mechanism in the scale, I would have melted it down with karmic fire. Be quick, do it! ”
It may be that I was shocked by the phantom in the dark room just now, which caused Zuo Youdao and I to not be very awake at this time.
It didn't occur to the two of us that if we could just take the contents of the weighing pan away, why didn't the people who came before do it? This is much easier than replacing yin jade with stone crystals of the same weight.
This is indeed a detail that should not be overlooked, but Zuo Youdao and I just didn't think about it so much.
I grabbed the Immortal Pill, and he also pinched the stone crystal in the weighing pan with his miraculous finger skills, and because of that natural tacit understanding, the two of us didn't even need to exchange slogans, and grabbed both the Immortal Pill and Shi Jing away from the weighing pan at the same time.
In order to dispel Zuo Youdao's concerns, as soon as the Immortal Pill left the scale, I quickly summoned the karmic fire and burned it to ashes in an instant.
To tell the truth, I really don't have any interest in longevity, for me, life is short, but it is also bitter, what I want to get, what I can get, I can get it in this life, those who want to get it but can't get it, just let him go, many people ask for longevity, to put it bluntly, it's not to have power, or to have money, toss and toss for this kind of thing that life doesn't bring death and doesn't bring, I just want to ask them if they're tired!
Zuo Youdao witnessed the demise of the Immortal Pill and smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as this breath was relieved, it was held back - there was a change in the long-legged scale.
I first heard a "click", like the sound of a lock spring popping open, and then I saw the weighing rod in the shape of Ssangyong's tail quickly shake down.
Zuo Youdao was surprised: "What's the situation?" ”
I made a silent gesture to signal him not to speak, and then pricked up my ears to listen to the movements.
There was no obvious mechanism in the darkroom, as I had determined when I came in, and what I was most worried about now was that the mechanism in the stilt scale was probably connected to the blood pool on the previous floor.
Sure enough, when I half-tilted my head and looked towards the doorway, because the secret door was not closed, the ghost eye could clearly see that the pool of blood outside was boiling violently!
Before, the blood pool was boiling, and I saw the human skin surging, but I didn't see the blood overflowing, but this time, a large amount of blood splashed out of the pool, and after it landed, it gradually gathered and flowed towards the doorway.
If we let this blood flow into the fifth layer, Zuo Youdao and I will be finished.
Mental power can block the acidic particles floating in the air, but if the strong acid is splashed on us, our cultivation is a thousand times higher, and we can't bear it!
"Withdraw!" I yelled, turned around and ran towards the doorway.
When it comes to danger, Zuo Youdao takes the lead 100%, and when it comes to retreating, he will take the initiative to retreat.
When I rushed to the bottom of the doorway, there was already sour blood lying down the hole, and Zuo Youdao was still squatting on the ground, so I stepped on his shoulder and went out first.
This cargo is too big, and now the amount of blood in the cave is small, he can easily get out when he hurrys up, and when the flow fights after a while, even if he can get out smoothly, he will have to be stained with sour blood.
I grabbed him by the shoulder: "You go out first, don't talk nonsense, jump!" ”
As he spoke, I threw Zuo Youdao upward, and Zuo Youdao knew that he couldn't screw me, so he also kicked the ground with both legs and jumped with all his might.
His leg strength, coupled with my full strength, was enough to send that two-hundred-pound body to the doorway.
When Zuo Youdao rose most of his body to the outside of the doorway, he pressed his hands on the place that was not flooded by acid and blood, and quickly supported it, so that his body returned to the ground at a faster speed. Then he leaned down and reached out to pull me, and I jumped with all my might, grabbed his wrist, and he carried him back to the upper floor.
The pool of blood seemed to be able to feel that Zuo Youdao and I were about to escape, and it boiled even more violently, and large strands of acid blood gushed out wantonly, and in an instant, most of the darkroom was shrouded in bright red.
Zuo Youdao and I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took out the equipment for mountaineering, and we chiseled the climbing nails on the wall, climbed up quickly, and rushed into the ventilation hole as fast as possible.
The walls of these ventilators are so smooth because they have been washed with acid gas all year round, and the slope of the caves is so large that it is almost impossible to climb along such caves with bare hands.
After Zuo Youdao entered the cave, he used the green steel sword to carve out deep marks in the cave wall, climbed the edge of the marks and walked up, and I also got a light and walked all the way behind him.
Due to the overflow of a large amount of acid blood in the blood pool, the acidic particles in the air have become very enriched, and now even if the body is wrapped in a layer of yin and yang shell, I can feel a burning stinging pain, in desperation, I can only urge a second stage of strength, shattering the cave wall on my side, and the stone collapsed for a while, and the hole under us was blocked tightly in a few seconds.
Before the view was completely blocked, I looked at the situation outside the ventilation hole, except for the edge of the blood pool in the darkroom, the floor had been melted into a huge hole by acid blood, and even the torture bed used to display the corpse demons had been corroded, and most of the bed had collapsed.
As soon as the ventilation hole was blocked, Zuo Youdao lowered his head and asked me, "How far is it?" ”
I sensed that his voice was a little weak and immediately asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zuo Youdao smiled bitterly: "The old injury has recurred, and the left rib is a little unbearable." ”
I looked upwards, and the view from twenty meters away was blocked by a stone slab, and under the stone slab, there was a row of very small holes, which were the exhaust holes we saw in the drainage tunnel!
The spatial order here is really chaotic, and when we came down, we walked so long on stone steps and spiral stairs, but we didn't expect to go up, we only need to crawl twenty or thirty meters in the ventilation hole.
I said to Zuo Youdao: "Can you hold on to twenty meters?" ”
"That's no problem, let alone twenty meters, you can hold on to a hundred meters." As he spoke, Zuo Youdao's tone suddenly became solemn: "Only twenty meters? ”
Only then did I notice that Zuo Youdao was holding a green steel sword in one hand and a flashlight in the other, shining upwards along the slope of the airway, and it was said that we were only twenty meters away from the top of the airway, and the flashlight could fully illuminate it.
But I looked up along the beam of the flashlight, but found that the beam did not leave a spot of light in front of me, and the line of sight was still dark beyond the light.
Why is the scene seen by the ghost eye completely different from what the naked eye sees?
Probably seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Zuo Youdao shook his flashlight again, and the beam of light shone obliquely on the cave wall in the distance, and I saw with the naked eye that there was a very wide side hole in the cave wall.
Zuo Youdao asked me loudly: "Keep climbing up, or go into the hole?" ”
I thought for a moment and responded, "You decide." ”
"Okay." There is a road on the left that should be immediately lowered, without the slightest drag of mud and water.
Looks like he's already figured out how to go.
Then the two of us picked up our speed and climbed another ten meters, finally getting into the hole in the wall.
The strange thing is that I can't see this hole in the eyes of ghosts, and I can only detect its existence with the naked eye.
The inside of the cave is connected to a stone staircase that extends diagonally upwards, and although the stone steps have become too smooth due to acid corrosion, you can barely maintain your balance on it.
In front of the stone steps, there was a small platform large enough for the two of us.
Since hitting the platform, Zuo Youdao has been gently rubbing his left ribs, looking like he is enduring the pain.
I guess I threw him out of the hole with too much force and accidentally tore his old wound near his left rib.
I saw that he hadn't recovered for a long time, and I couldn't help but ask him, "How did you get hurt?" ”
Zuo Youdao smiled: "Hey, the injury I suffered in the Sun Cemetery, my cultivation is still not enough, and I am not good." ”
As he spoke, there was a snoring sound outside the cave, and it sounded like something had broken and fallen into a very deep bottomless pit.
We both leaned our heads against the hole and looked around.
The dark room used to store the corpse demon had completely collapsed due to the corrosion of acid blood, and below it was a huge abyss that even the ghost eye could not see.
Large patches of bright red blood, fluttering human skins, complete pools of blood, and large pieces of stone and bricks all fell into the abyss, and just three or four meters below the entrance of our cave, there were also a large number of four-sided bricks that fell off the walls of the ventilation tunnel and quickly fell into darkness.
This huge abyss is like a giant mouth that wants to devour everything.
