Chapter Twenty-Nine: Underground

"Who did you just say I was yours?" Shen Qingge leaned into Xia Beifeng's ear and said through gritted teeth: "Your sister? Why are you so thick-skinned! ”

"How else can I say? Let me introduce to you, this is my grandmother who I don't know how many generations, and I will be regarded as a psychopath. Xia Beifeng said impatiently: "You can talk about this bit of for half an hour, it's time to stop, light song girl!" ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone in the four words at the end, and the angry Shen Qingge almost beat her.

Qu Yue walked behind the two of them, following their footsteps with her head down, never daring to look at the wall of the corridor twice.

An hour ago, they opened the mechanism of the Ghost King Temple according to Xu He's instructions.

When the pitch-black hole appeared in front of the offering table, everyone was stunned for a moment, except for Xu He, Xia Beifeng, and Shen Qingge, who had already known in their hearts.

No one expected that this hole was placed in the most conspicuous place that could be seen as soon as they entered the door. And they were busy for half the night, and they didn't find any clues.

Xu He was very satisfied with this result, and after enjoying the admiring gaze of the people for a while, he urged them to hurry down and look for something.

Everyone sorted out their things, and quarreled for a while about how to deal with Qu Yue's burden.

Qu Yue himself insisted on going down with them to find Zhao Xinning.

The leader of the tomb robbers surnamed Ning had no opinion on this matter. In his heart, Qu Yue was an accomplice who came with Xia Beifeng and Shen Qingge, the two "children of Shen Yun returning home", and it could be somewhat useful. Even if he really can't protect himself, what happened down there is all the pot of the family surnamed Shen, and it has nothing to do with him.

The person who opposed it most fiercely was naturally Xu Tianle. She had no reason at all, just to oppose it for the sake of opposing it. even used the professional term of "with me without her, with her without me" to express his position, which really gave everyone a headache for a while.

However, the most unexpected thing was Xia Beifeng and Shen Qingge, who firmly opposed Qu Yue to go down with them.

However, they couldn't think of any other good way to deal with Qu Yue.

If she is left on the ground, no one will be able to spare time to send her off without finding her own way back. But they don't know how long it will take to go back, and they don't even know if they will come out of here in the end (I don't know about others, Xiaobei and I will definitely not come out of here-Shen Qingge), and they can't let her wait where she is.

As for putting herself here, she's still scared, and this matter is quite easy to solve. The group surnamed Ning will not all go down, but will leave one person on the ground as a response.

So the point of the problem comes out. Who would be relieved to put a crying nose in fright at the slightest disagreement, a young girl who is not much stronger than a chick and a vicious grave robber.

Under Qu Yue's pleading, Shen Qingge never let go, saying that she was not allowed to follow if she died. Xia Beifeng relented first.

It's useless to soften his heart, he still has to look at the face of his ancestor to do things. , Shen Qingge said no, that is, no, no matter how you ask for it, it's useless.

A group of people did have a headache for a while because of this matter, and the person who finally made the decision turned out to be the boss Xu He, who was "not in good health".

When Xu He smiled and proposed that he could take Qu Yue down, and even let everyone take special care of her, Xia Beifeng's heart suddenly had a bad premonition.

What the hell is this old thing for? Doesn't he have something that he is bound to get, and what does it mean to take the initiative to bring such a drag oil bottle?"

Shen Qingge seemed to understand something at once when she heard this, she only gave Xia Beifeng a slightly calm look, and then pulled Qu Yue to the corner and muttered for a while.

Shen Qingge seemed to be deliberately preventing Xia Beifeng from eavesdropping, and when he lowered his head and got together with Qu Yue, the space for the two people to talk was tight.

Xia Beifeng could only see Shen Qingge constantly gesturing to Qu Yue with the same movements as teaching children. Qu Yue nodded from time to time, sometimes hesitating, but soon nodded again, the expression on his face was extremely firm.

After a while, Shen Qingge took Qu Yue's hand and returned to everyone.

"Alright, no problem, let's go down together." She nodded at Xia Beifeng as she spoke, signaling him to rest assured, and then said with a smile to Xu He: "We can take care of the people we bring with us, and we don't have to worry about the boss." ”

Xu He was about to say something when he heard her insinuate and say, "The little girl we brought is quite obedient and can manage it." On the contrary, it is Boss Xu, you ...... It's better to take care of your own people! ”

After she said this, she deliberately glanced at Xu Tianle meaningfully, and then stretched out her hand to beckon Xia Beifeng to come over.

Xu Tianyang raised his hand and grabbed Xu Tianle, who was about to rush over, and coaxed her in a low voice not to make trouble.

"Look at this little girl for a while, don't let her run around. It's not an ordinary place down there, and if the living die there, it's troublesome. ”

Xia Beifeng nodded solemnly, raised his head and said to the tomb robber surnamed Ning: "Brother Ning, we have done it here, you see when it is appropriate to go." ”

The tomb robber - according to Shen Qingge's database, his real name is probably Ning Feng.

He was a well-proportioned middle-aged man. His hair is neatly combed, his sideburns are a little white, and he looks suave, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a university teacher when he goes out. I just don't know why I embarked on the road of breaking the law and discipline.

He first assigned a young man who looked very clever to stay on the ground, explained a few words to him, and asked Xia Beifeng for a talisman in his hand. After settling everything in place, he pushed a young man with six-pack abs and a height of at least 1.9 meters to explore the way.

It stands to reason that pathfinders are generally short in stature. Even older traditional tomb robbers will also practice a bone reduction skill specifically for this, just to facilitate the entry into small robbery holes. Ning Feng's group went the opposite way and sent a big man who was almost stuck at the entrance of the cave, and he didn't know what his intentions were.

You might as well let Shen Qingge go down like this, she can scare away anything if she goes down to keep it.

Xia Beifeng was embarrassed to watch the pathfinder squirming down with difficulty at the entrance of the cave, with an expression on his face that he couldn't bear to look at directly.

"Aze is particularly sensitive to taste." Ning Feng seemed to see his confusion, came to his side, and explained in a low voice: "This kid has grown a pair of dog noses since he was a child, how many years has the soil underneath, is it suitable for human breathing, and whether there is a bright device, he can know it by smelling it from afar." ”

Xia Beifeng nodded and turned his head to look at Shen Qingge.

"I can tell you how many years the dumplings below have been when I smell them." Shen Qingge said silently: "This kind of thing is too simple, there is no need to admire." ”

Xia Beifeng lowered his head, looked at the floor tiles under his feet, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

After a while, Aze shook the flashlight a few times from below, signaling that there was no problem below and that he could go down.

Ning Feng turned his head and nodded at Xu He.

"Let's go!" Xu He waved his hand cleanly, and he took the lead and jumped down the tunnel first.

The passage below doesn't look as narrow as the entrance to the cave, and after a few steps and a turn, it becomes an empty and wide road. Not to mention leaving, it's no problem to run two cars side by side.

The air underground is very fresh, and there is no smell of decay and decay that has been held down for a long time, and occasionally a breeze blows through the corridor, giving people a little refreshing coolness.

I think there must be an exit to the outside world.

The first underground buildings they saw were neatly made of stone corridors. The top of the head is vaulted with stones, the highest point is about five meters high, and the short one is more than three meters high. This height makes the people standing below faintly have the illusion that they are too small and fragile. 、

The stones on both sides are painted with frescoes on the theme of some primitive sacrifices in a rough way. Although the characters on the picture are only a few brushstrokes, they are very expressive, and people can understand the content at a glance.

The mural depicts almost all of a green-faced and fanged demon standing on a high altar and receiving prostration and worship from the people.

Occasionally, there are scenes of demons leading people to fight and celebrating after the victory of the war, but most of the murals still express the theme of thousands of people bowing down.

In the huge mural, although the men sitting on the altar are wearing masks, their eyes seem to follow them closely, flashing with a cold and bloodthirsty cold light, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

In addition to the obvious difference in painting style, the order of the murals can only be distinguished from the subtle differences in the clothing of the characters.

The content in the mural looks fresh at first glance, but after reading too much of the same content, you will get bored. Ten minutes later, except for Xia Beifeng, the others had long since stopped paying attention to the same murals on both sides.

They walked in the corridor for more than an hour. Looking at the continuous murals, listening to the sound of his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor, gradually blurred his perception of time.

This group of people originally had different purposes, and it can be said that almost everyone had their own thoughts. So now even though we're walking together, we're guarding against each other, and there's no communication at all.

Walking in the front was Ning Feng's subordinate named Aze, holding a flashlight to open the way; followed by Xu He with Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianle; In the middle are Xia Beifeng and Shen Qingge, with a drag oil bottle Qu Yue; Finally, it was Ning Feng and his group.

In addition to Ning Feng and Aze, there were two other people in their group - a young man known as Big Black Brother, and a thin little man, whom Ning Feng called deaf.

At the beginning, Ning Feng also took the initiative to talk to Xia Beifeng and the others. Later, under Xu Tianle's angry gaze from time to time, he also quieted down and only cared about walking at the end.

However, Shen Qingge seemed to be completely unaffected by the strange murals and tense atmosphere in the corridor, and he was always looking for something to talk to Xia Beifeng.

Even gradually to the point of annoyance.

"I say, can't you walk quietly?" Xia Beifeng said impatiently to Shen Qingge: "If this continues, it is estimated that everyone will unanimously decide to throw you halfway." ”

Shen Qingge pursed his mouth when he heard this, lowered his head and was quiet for a few minutes.

"What's the solution?" Her voice sounded in Xia Beifeng's ears: "How many times have I been to this place, there is nothing to see." ”

Xia Beifeng was startled at first, looked back and forth, left and right, and saw that the people around her had no reaction to her words, and then he understood.

This guy probably used some means to make this only me hear.

Shen Qingge lowered his head and walked lightly on the stone-paved road, his lips moving slightly.

"And...... Have you noticed that they have gone wrong. ”

Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows, glanced at the murals beside him, and made a "two" gesture at Shen Qingge.

"It's really more than twenty minutes ago, how do you know?"

Xia Beifeng tilted his head and gestured to the mural beside him.

Maybe it's because of personal hobbies, or it's just a matter of careful observation. After everyone lost interest in the same murals, he kept paying attention to the subtle differences of each mural around him. This led him to be surprised when he found a duplicate mural.

But he soon discovered that the following murals were duplicates of the previous paintings.

Even the order of the arrangement does not change.

It stands to reason that this kind of murals painted according to the chronology should not have such repetitive images.

So there's only one answer - they didn't pay attention, they went around in a big circle and walked back to where they were.

And after walking for so long, no one has ever found out about it.

"Don't you think it's weird, I've been walking straight all the time, and I haven't seen a fork in the road, why did I walk back?" Shen Qingge asked proudly, paused and whispered: "It's just that a guy like you can look at that bunch of abstract painting style things for so long without getting tired of it." ”

Shen Qingge was right, the matter of turning back was indeed ...... Not quite in line with common sense.

But when he thought of what kind of things existed in this place, Xia Beifeng was relieved again.

This kind of ghost place shouldn't be considered with common sense at all.

Shen Qingge waited for a while, but didn't get the surprised reaction of the other party as he imagined, so he coughed boredly and answered the question by himself: "Actually, this is the gate, not very far, if you know the road, you can only walk for ten minutes." Originally, there were four roads that led to different places. But you know, it's a gate after all, and there's always something to ...... The keeper here is a fox fairy, which connects the four roads together and turns them into a circle, so we go around in circles here! Do you understand? ”

Got it, don't sing!

Xia Beifeng glared at her with disgust.

"It's an illusion, it's easy to break. I can teach you, but let's wait. If they didn't see the problem, it seemed a little strange that we would suddenly say it. You just follow and walk around again, take a closer look, and see if you can find the formation eye or something. ”

When Xia Beifeng heard this, he glanced down at the piece of paper in his palm, his expression was a little hesitant, as if he was worried about something.

"Oh, don't worry about your master's words, I got the news a few days ago that he is still alive and not in danger of his life. And I was able to release the sparrow to greet you yesterday, so I guess it shouldn't be so fast. Even if he is really dead, seeing that you can find the eyes of this ghost king's house's gatekeeper array by yourself, I guess I will have to smile at Jiuquan. ”

No, if he laughs at Jiuquan for this, I will probably have nightmares every day for the rest of my life.

Xia Beifeng sighed secretly and looked more intently at the mural on the wall.

Since Shen Qingge has said so, it is estimated that there is really no big problem. I guess with this guy's bad taste, I really want me to find my own eyes.

"yes, do you want to give me a hint." Shen Qingge jumped in front of him from behind Xia Beifeng, and winked at him slyly as he passed by.

"Don't just look at the sides, look at the top of your head, look at your feet, or whatever."

Xia Beifeng: "......"

You're already a spoiler, it's like the invigilator is sending the answer, right?

In the end, he still decided to honestly follow Shen Qingge's instructions to find the so-called "Fox Immortal Illusion Array Eye".

Having said that, why did the fox fairy show the door to the ghost king, where is this Wuxi ghost king sacred, and how can animals be involved?

At the same time that this question surfaced in Xia Beifeng's mind, he heard a scream from Xu Tianle in front of him.

Everyone looked forward in unison, and Aze, who was walking in the front to explore the way, fell to the ground at some point. (To be continued.) )
