Chapter 208: A Miracle of Two Hundred Years of Impery
What needs to be clarified now is, how did this thousand miles of rope break?
Looking at the flatness of the fracture, it is obvious that it has been cut by someone. So who would be the one who cut off the Qianli Suo? Only the Fifth Tingyun, Qin Hao, and Li Chengcheng entered the Empty Dao Array, and Li Tingcheng didn't enter any of the tunnels at all, so she could be excluded for the time being.
If you think about it this way, the only one who cuts off Qianli Suo can only be Qin Hao himself.
But Qin Hao has no reason to do this, first of all, he proposed to reach a cooperation with the Fifth Tingyun in the form of a thousand miles of ropes, and it is unlikely that he will take the initiative to cut off the thousands of miles of ropes before he has figured out the high order of spatial movement (that is, the "law" that is often said).
Could it be that Qin Hao had already found the law of the Void Dao Array, so he cut off the thousands of miles and went out alone?
It's also unlikely, if that's the case, the violent shaking of the thousand miles of rope before cutting it will be completely superfluous. Fifth, Tingyun always felt that the trembling of the thousand miles was something Qin Hao was transmitting to him, but he didn't understand it. After such a slight inference, the fifth Tingyun was almost certain that the person who cut off the thousand miles of Suo was not Qin Hao, so who could it be?
There is a third person in the Void Dao Array?!
Half-crouching on the ground, looking at the thousand miles, the fifth Tingyun was more inclined to believe that it was the unknown third person who cut off the miles. But is there really a third person, only Qin Hao and Li Chengcheng came in with him, he can be sure of this. And even if there is a third person, then what is the purpose of him cutting off the thousand miles?
One more hypothesis, and more questions immediately popped up in his mind.
He felt that he couldn't continue to think like this, because thinking like this would only increase his troubles, and the current problems could not be solved, not to mention, there would be more problems. In the end, he decided not to think about it, anyway, now that he was lost in the Void Dao Array, he could only take one step at a time, if there was really a third person, then he would definitely find it sooner or later.
Wrap a thousand miles of rope around your waist, this special rope may be useful if you keep it. Then he casually chose a hole to drill into, and now his situation is already the worst, I don't know where he is, and there is no one to contact, he doesn't know the way before, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know the way out, it seems that whether he can get out next can really only rely on luck.
Who knows what the high order of this empty Dao array is?
Just when he thought that his current situation could not be worse, the Void Dao Array once again proved with facts how ignorant his thoughts were, proving that in the Void Dao Array, there is no worst, only worse.
Hell, the tunnel has branched off!
That's right, it has always been a comfortable and open cave road until the bottom, but at this time, there are two forks in the road. In the darkness, the fifth Tingyun groped the left cave with his left hand, reached in with his right hand and touched the right cave, and in the middle of the left and right caves, there was a stone wall.
It was just when he hit his head on the stone wall that he realized that the tunnel had forked.
It was already so bad anyway that he turned around and got into the hole on the left. After crawling forward for a while, he felt that the air was no longer as closed as it had been, and that the tunnel seemed to be much wider. Trying to stand up slowly, the tunnel also became higher, and although he still couldn't stand upright, it was not a problem for him to walk forward half-crouching.
It's much better than crawling on the ground.
Fifth, Tingyun laughed at himself, and then continued to move forward, the further he went, the wider the cave became. Slowly, his whole person was able to stand up completely, and his arms were spread out and he could no longer touch the walls of the cave on both sides.
He coughed twice once in a while, and could hear echoes coming from both the front and back directions.
Even though he didn't have to crawl anymore, the pitch black environment made him want to get out as soon as possible. I don't know how long he walked, the ground began to become uneven, and from time to time he could kick some broken stones, and there was still water in some places, and he walked forward in the dark with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the surrounding environment became not only dark, but also damp, which made him feel extremely depressed.
It seems that the artificially constructed road has been completed.
"So, I'm almost at the real end?" Suppressing the panic and depression in his heart, the more rugged the ground, the more victory was in sight for the fifth Tingyun, "The Empty Dao Array must be the limit of artificial repair, as long as you get out of this non-artificial section, then you must go out!"
With this belief, he walked and walked, day and night in this cave, and he did not know how much time had passed, but there was still no end in sight. At first, he was still a little worried, but as he continued to move forward, he seemed to be numb, and then seemed to be calm, and there was no longer panic and worry in his heart, his heart was as calm as water, and there was a faint taste of the state of mind when the golden light was shrouded.
When he is tired, he rests, when he is sleepy, he sleeps, when he is tired, he cultivates, and when he is hungry, he endures......
Countless times he was on the verge of stupor, but he was forced to hold on, and he walked forward step by step, staggering but determined. In absolute darkness, and he didn't know how many days and nights had passed, it seemed to him that a pair of feet had gone through centuries, and a heart seemed to have gone through several lives.
"Are you sleepy again?" As he walked, Fifth Tingyun's eyelids began to fight, and the thought of wanting to sleep was much more frequent than before, and he knew that this was not a good sign.
But he couldn't stop it.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep, and you'll be at the end of a short sleep......"
He whispered to himself, stopped his tracks, leaned against the cave wall, and fell into a groggy sleep.
When he regained consciousness, he felt a light with his eyes closed. The light shone on his eyelids, through his eyelids, and the light was faint, but it was too bright for him to see the light for days and nights. Even though his eyes were closed, the light still stabbed his eyes.
He rolled his eyes, adjusted to the light, opened them, and suddenly let out an "ah".
The first thing that caught my eye was that it looked like a lion's head, and its hair exploded in all directions, which really startled the fifth Tingyun. Not only was the fifth Tingyun frightened, but the lion's head heard the shout of the Fifth Tingyun, and immediately jumped back three steps, and actually said, "Little doll, what is your name?"
Hearing this, the fifth hearing cloud realized that the lion's head was actually a person. It's just that the man's hair is too vigorous, and at first glance I thought it was a lion's head.
People, people!
The third person besides Qin Hao!
There really was a third person in this empty Dao array.
So, could the Qianliso be cut off by the person in front of him?
After the scene just now, the consciousness of the fifth Tingyun finally returned completely, he looked at the "old lion" holding a torch in front of him, and saw that his beard was too long, the hair behind his back was on his buttocks, the beard on his chin had been dragged to his knees, and even the sideburns on his temples hung down like a beard, at least as long as an arm.
"Old Lion...... Senior, how many years have you not combed your hair?" Fifth Tingyun swallowed, this hair is too vigorous.
Hearing the fifth hearing cloud's questioning, the old lion rolled his eyes and recalled, while constantly scratching the back of his head with his other hand. Fifth, Tingyun guessed that there must be too many lice on the back of his head, so he kept tickling it.
After waiting for a while, the old lion replied, "Count that I came in here, and almost two hundred years have passed." Well, that's right, the year after that, it will be two hundred years old. He seemed pleased with his memory, and kept nodding his head in the affirmative.
