Ripples rippled in the pool, and the rocks at the top of the cave were gathering vapor due to the heat in the air, which condensed into droplets and fell back into the pool.

Zhang Renshan looked at the small drops of water that fell down, and when he was bored, he wiped the broadstalker in his hand with the pool of water, after all, the broadstalker left a lot of residue on it after chopping just now, if it is not washed off, it is easy to affect the sharpness of the knife, while teasing the water on the knife body with his hand, Zhang Renshan turned his head and looked at San'er and said: "You are giving a word!" What do we do next? ”

"You're waiting, I haven't thought about it yet" San'er shook his head and was still staring at the warm pool in front of the two, as for the human skull wrapped by the two, there was no sound now, and he stayed quietly by the pool to wait for the two to fall, Zhang Renshan packed up the broadsword and looked at the man's skull and said: "You said you were a ghost, then let me ask you, how did you get into this dream?" I've heard that if this place doesn't have a thousand-year-old Taoism, it's not easy to get there. ”

"This ...... Thing! I'm also ...... That one...... It's ......" The human skull was just quiet for a while, and when Zhang Renshan's words were asked, it shook its head slightly, as if it was very reluctant to answer, Zhang Renshan heard that this human bone was fighting with him Haha, after his temper came up, he raised a foot and stepped on the skull fiercely, shook the broadsword and said slightly: "Master, I don't have so much patience, if you don't say it, don't blame Master for the speed of the knife in my hand." ”

"Good, good! You're amazing...... I, I said...... I can actually come to this place...... Thanks to an immortal, but because of this immortal, I can't get out of here now" After the human skull was stepped on by Zhang Renshan, he could only tell the truth, and San'er immediately turned his head and said, "You came in with someone else?" ”

"That's right! Otherwise, even if I have been cultivating for seven or eight hundred years, I may not be able to enter this dream" The human skull was slightly twisted at Zhang Renshan's feet, thinking about breaking free, but he still couldn't break free, Zhang Renshan's foot strength was still much heavier than ordinary people, after all, he had pointed to these legs and feet after the accident before.

"Can you tell me who you followed into this dream?" San'er suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but he just didn't know where this feeling came from.

After listening to San'er's words, the human bone twisted slightly in the fragments that wrapped it, and said, "This matter...... I really don't know what to say! ”

"You don't know what to say!? Yes...... Master, I'll help you" Zhang Renshan finished speaking, and then lifted the broadsword, aimed at the human skull on the ground, and was about to chop it over, and the human skull also knew what Zhang Renshan was going to do, so he quickly said again: "Don't, don't!" It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it! ”

"Why can't it be?" Hearing the words, San'er quickly stretched out his hand and temporarily stopped Zhang Renshan.

When the human skull heard San'er's question, he had to sigh deeply and said, "Forget it...... Anyway, I'm going to be ruined in this dream sooner or later, I'm not afraid of so much, you two listen well, in fact, this dream has now been ruled by a deep demon, originally this place should be in charge of some immortals, but then I don't know why those immortals are all gone from here, and then I don't know why there are suddenly a lot of deep demons in the dream, they were inseparable from each other here, but you think this is always fighting back and forth, and one day it will be decided to win or lose, It's a pity that I was just a little demon at the time, and I have no way of knowing who these predecessors were, but the places they left behind after their deaths are still there. ”

"You...... What are you talking about? Zhang Renshan didn't understand what this person's skull meant, but San'er frowned on the side and said, "That's it...... This place is no longer a place for immortals, but a place for demons to gather! ”

"Yes!" The human skull was slightly twisted at Zhang Renshan's feet, and it was actually very uncomfortable to step on.

San'er was a little stunned when he heard the words, when he and Zhang Renshan came to this place, they thought that this place should be the permanent residence of the immortal family, but they never thought that it would be occupied by demons now, and the words of the human skull just now were reversed, but the meaning of it San'er understood as soon as he heard it, this third-layer dream realm was no longer used to talk to the immortal family as before.

Zhang Renshan moved the broadsword in his hand, turned his head and looked at San'er and said, "No...... You've said all that, what the hell is going on now!? ”

"Xian'er...... Now let's ......" San'er hadn't finished his words, when he heard a series of crashing sounds from behind the surrounding rock walls, as if something was breaking through the rock walls and then being able to enter the cave.

The skull of the person on the ground who was stepped on by Zhang Renshan also heard the strange sound, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" That thing is coming again. ”

Zhang Renshan and San'er stood by the pool, after hearing the words of the man's bones, San'er did not have any unnecessary discussion, after a slight jump, he swam into the pool first, and after finding the hole in the pool, he said to Zhang Renshan: "Hurry up...... Let's go back down there! ”

"Will this work?" Zhang Renshan was still standing on the shore, but he was a little worried in his heart, after all, there was a high probability that there was still a flame burning in the passage.

Just as Zhang Renshan hesitated, the skull of the person he stepped on was on the ground and said, "You hurry up!" I don't want to be an ingredient in a pot. ”

"What ingredients?" Zhang Renshan was stupid, he didn't know what this skull was talking about, but now that the situation was critical, Zhang Renshan couldn't think about it, turned around, he gritted his teeth and swam into the pool, followed San'er along the hole in the pool, and swam back to the underground passage.

After waiting for the two of them to emerge from the mouth of the upside-down water hole, Zhang Renshan first took a good look, and after seeing that there was no flame around, he threw the broadsword in his hand and the rag wrapped around the human skull on the ground, and after San'er turned down, he also helped Zhang Renshan turn over into the passage, and shook the water on his body San'er looked at the human skull on the ground and said: "You said before that this place is your home, so why did it start a fire?" Could it be that you can burn down your own house in order to force the two of us back? ”

"This ...... In fact...... The flame...... I didn't really do it, but this place is really my home, I've lived here since I got to the dream, but then I can't get out of this place because of the monster on it," the human skull passed through the already soaked rags.

Zhang Renshan listened to the words, and while twisting the wet clothes on his body, he said to San'er: "San'er, don't listen to this grandson's nonsense, it's strange that this place can be its home." ”

"This place is really my home, if you don't believe that I have evidence to prove it" Human Bones listened to Zhang Renshan's words and was anxious, San'er looked at it a few times and then said: "You have evidence?" Okay...... Take it out and show it to us! ”

"What is it used for! San'er, you don't want to take a look at it" Zhang Renshan snickered twice, and then picked up the man's skull from the ground with one kick, grabbed it with his hand, and said, "I said...... You'd better be deceived by me, or I'll smash you to bones, believe it or not! ”

"Know, know, know! What I said just now is really true, this place is indeed the home where I have always lived, but I really don't know about the flames that burned," the human skull was carried by Zhang Renshan in his hand and shook it.

San'er frowned when he heard this, and only after looking at the bluestone slabs used to lay the underground passages on the left and right did he speak: "Don't you have evidence!" Now take us to take a look! ”

"Okay...... But you have to go a little further first, this is not yet the place" As soon as the human skull heard that San'er wanted to see his own evidence, he quickly shook it in front of the two of them.

Zhang Renshan stared at San'er sideways, San'er also looked at Zhang Renshan, and then nodded slightly, Zhang Renshan also knew what to do, picked up the broadsword from the ground and said: "If you dare to lie to the master, you know the consequences!" ”

"Rest assured...... I'm sure I didn't lie to you" The words of the human skull trembled a little, and San'er didn't care so much, and walked along the underground passage again, and then walked forward.

After the two walked a long way, they finally arrived in the underground space again, the flames that burned before are now completely gone, and there are no traces of burning around, as if what happened at that time was an illusion, Zhang Renshan shook his body and held the broadknife in his hand is a slight stab around it, but those bluestone slabs are hard and abnormally can't cause any damage with a knife.

San'er saw that Zhang Renshan was stabbing the bluestone slabs used to lay them with a broadsword, and he immediately said, "Xian'er, what are you doing here?" ”

"Oh! I'm just going to see if this slate is real! Zhang Renshan didn't move again after trying it.

The man's skull also heard the words of the two of them, and after shaking it a few times, it said, "This is all true, there is no fake!" ”

"No!? Then sir, let me ask you, after the flame burned before, why is there no trace around now! Zhang Renshan lifted the man's skull high.

"This ...... This one...... You ask me, I can't answer it, every time the fire burns ......" The human skull suddenly stopped talking when he said this, San'er quickly glanced at Zhang Renshan when he heard it, Zhang Renshan also immediately understood the meaning and shook the human skull and said: "Go on!" Listen, sir! If you don't speak again, don't blame the master for being you're welcome! ”

"Good, good...... I said, I said, this place will naturally rise flames every once in a while, I regard this place as my hometown because of this flame, after all, I am a little demon, if I don't find a safe place to hide, those big demons outside may soon solve me "There is no way to do it in the human skull, it can't stand Zhang Renshan's strength of hands and feet."

San'er frowned when he heard the words, if he followed what this man's skull said, then the two of them would have to be very careful when they stayed here, because those flames would come back at some point, and if the two of them wanted to hide, they would have to rush back, and it would be better to be closer to the passage, but if the flames were burning, the two of them would be far away from the passage, it would be a little unpleasant.

Leaving the entrance of the passage temporarily, San'er turned his head sideways and looked around first, and after finding nothing abnormal, he said to the man's skull: "You just said that this place often burns with flames, so have you investigated where this flame came from?" ”

"Yes! However, ......" The words of the human bones stopped for a while again, and Zhang Renshan immediately shook his hand a few times on the side and then said: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don't eat it here, don't beg for a beating!" ”

"Don't, don't! It's not that I don't want to finish it in one sitting, you have to let me think about it! It's been a long time since this happened, I just want to answer immediately, don't you have to remember it first" The human skull's words were also a little aggrieved, it had been avoiding the two of them since Zhang Renshan and San'er arrived in this underground space, not that it was afraid, but that this human bone really didn't have any ability, although it was also a demon and evil, but the Tao of this human bone would be cultivated to the point where it could speak and stand and act.

San'er stood aside and looked at the human skull in Zhang Renshan's hand and said, "Then think about it now?" ”

"Got it figured...... I've investigated the flame before, but this thing is just like this dream, rootless and sourceless, I don't know where it came from" The human skull quickly explained through the rags wrapped around it, and San'er could only sigh and say after listening to the words: "It seems that you really don't want to tell the truth!" ”

"No, no, no! I'm telling the truth! When the human skull heard San'er's words, it immediately shook a few times, but at this time, Zhang Renshan had already slammed the human skull on the ground, stepped on it and said, "No!?" Seemingly...... We're at this point. ”

"It's not...... Listen to me, I really don't know where those flames came from" The human skull's voice trembled a little, and San'er turned his head to look at Zhang Renshan for a moment and then said, "Do you really not know?" ”

"Really! I didn't lie to you, and what's the use of lying to you now? "The human skull is so eager that it can't be done, and if you don't say a few words, it will be directly trampled into slag by Zhang Renshan.

San'er nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and dragged Zhang Renshan, he picked up the man's skull from the ground, and the man's skull was gently lifted by San'er, and suddenly shook it and said, "What's ...... on you?"

"San'er, look, it seems that there is a fire burning above us again!" Zhang Renshan directly interrupted the human skull on the side, and San'er quickly raised his head to take a look at Zhang Renshan's words, only to see that in the high place of this underground space, one flame after another came out again.

The human skull also heard the words of the two at this time, and hurriedly shook it in San'er's hand a few times, and then he said, "Hurry up!" Those flames will soon be here! ”

"You say it...... Who doesn't know! San'er, let's go back quickly! Zhang Renshan turned around and was about to retreat back into the passage, but San'er stopped him and then looked at the human skull in his hand and said, "How do you usually avoid these flames?" ”

"Uh...... This ...... human skull is extremely reluctant, this matter is its secret after all, Zhang Renshan also understood the meaning of San'er on the side, and stood next to the human skull and said: "If you don't say it, master, I will throw you into that flame now!" ”

"Don't! I said no! I really don't know how much I owe you! I usually hide in a pit over there to avoid these flames, "The human skull is already helpless, it just wants to hide something now, and sooner or later it will be dug up by the two of them."

When Zhang Renshan and San'er heard that there was a place to hide from the flames in addition to this passage, San'er was overjoyed and said to the man's skull: "Hurry up...... Where is that place? ”

"It's the opposite side of this passage" The human skull shook slightly in San'er's hand, and then twisted to the side, Zhang Renshan and San'er quickly ran all the way to the other end of the passage when they heard it, and waited to get to the place, it was really the same as this person's skull said, a sunken pit was opened under the bluestone slab wall of this underground space, and turned around slightly, Zhang Renshan went down to it first to observe, and after seeing that there was no danger, he took San'er from above.

Not long after the two of them entered the pit, the flame on the top was directly burned, and the tumbling heat wave continued to surge into the pit, but it only hovered on the top of the pit, and the two people below did nothing at all, and the human skull looked at the flame outside the pit through the rags that wrapped it, and shook it a little before he spoke: "It seems that our life is really not good, and now this burning flame can only be extinguished for a while." ”

"There is still time for this flame to burn?" Zhang Renshan looked at the man's skull, and then at the outside of the pit.

The human skull didn't have any consideration this time, and after hearing Zhang Renshan's words, he said, "That's right! The flame is timed, sometimes it burns for a long time, sometimes it is short, but most of the time it is very short. ”

"Hmph...... In that case, we're in the worst time this time, aren't we? San'er also turned his head to look at the fire outside the pit, and the bursts of black smoke between the burns were wafting up......
