The sky was getting darker, and there was not a single figure to be seen except for the four of us, and the calm water slowly fluctuated. A small whirlpool appeared ten meters in front of us, and then a transparent elevator appeared on the surface of the water, and then slowly opened.

A woman a few years older than Xingyun walked out of it, and after greeting Xingyun with her eyes, she took over the bamboo raft. Xingyun guided us to the elevator and led us to the bottom of the lake.

There was no light underwater, and the dark and claustrophobic environment made Zhixuan and the tearless child a little nervous. Xingyun touched her tearless hair and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine as soon as you get better." ”

Xian Xingyun exudes a unique temperament that reminds me of a woman I met many years ago, a woman from the other side of the galaxy named "Fairy Star". We only have a one-sided relationship, I don't know her name, her ethnicity, and so on, but because of this unique temperament, I have always remembered her.

After about a few minutes, the elevator stopped descending. The ladder lit up with a soft yellowish light, and it wasn't until our eyes got used to the light again that Xingyun opened the door. What greeted us was a bright and open underground plaza. I looked around and it was not a simple underground base, because there was not a single brick or stone here, it was all made of new alloys or resin rubber materials. There's a high tech component to it, and the space layout is weird. There were a lot of thoughts going through my mind, but I didn't bother to guess because I knew I would know sooner or later.

I sorted out my thoughts, scanned the square, and found that there were men and women, old and young; Some meditate, some dance with swords; They are uniformly dressed in loose clothes similar to Taoist robes in lychee red, as if they were a mysterious underground base. When they saw our visit, they cast curious glances.

"Sister Xingyun, who are they?" A little girl in the crowd asked curiously.

"Guest." Xian Xingyun smiled kindly.

"Is it the same as me?" The little girl looked at us with watery eyes.

Dugu Wutear saw the girl looking at her, and immediately blushed and lowered her head. This little ghost!

Xian Xingyun nodded in response to the little girl, and then led us through the square to a large gate.

"You're still taking people out here?" I asked Xian Xingyun curiously.

Xian Xingyun smiled at the corner of her mouth, and instead of answering my question, she walked over to the scanner on the gate and opened the door with guò pupil recognition. Behind the door, there is a long hallway. Bright lights guide us deeper into the depths.

At the end of the corridor is a small living room of about 100 square meters. There was a wooden table of eight immortals in the hall, and an old woman and a middle-aged lady sat side by side, as if they were waiting for our arrival. Xian Xingyun beckoned us to sit down, and introduced: "This is my mother Xian Lihe, this is my grandmother Xian Luping." ”

Liang Zhixuan looked at the middle-aged woman and said softly, "Aunt Xian—"

Aunt Xian smiled and nodded, and said to Zhixuan, "They have grown so big." Auntie almost didn't recognize it. Who are these two? ”

"My mom's guys. It's like a cousin or something. Zhixuan squirmed and said.

"Liu's? Or is it surnamed Dugu? Aunt Xian said tentatively.

"Dugu's family!" Tearfully replied.

Aunt Xian and Mrs. Xian looked at each other and smiled, then turned their eyes to me.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately, Zhixuan asked, "Aunt Xian, how do you know that they are from the Dugu family?" Do you know who my mom really is? ”

Aunt Xian replied: "Our Xian family has guarded this land for thousands of years, and the news is quite well-informed. ”

"That's ...... My mom, they're ......," Zhixuan said a little choked.

Mrs. Xian took over and said: "Compared with the Li family, our Xian family can be said to be weak. We hope you understand our struggles. ”

Zhixuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, showed an understanding smile, and then lowered her head and was silent.

Mrs. Xian's eyes were attentive, and after she looked at me for a while, she said in a loud voice, "Tell me everything about it." ”

In addition to my true identity, I told everything I knew. Some of them are unknown to Liang Zhixuan and Dugu Wuxi. After listening to my story, the people of the Xian family sighed and sighed, and then comforted Zhixuan and Wu Wu.

Mrs. Xian sighed and said, "The old man of the Dugu family and I have had a few encounters, but I didn't expect to die like this." ”

Aunt Xian gently patted the back of Mrs. Xian's hand and comforted, "Mom, look at it." Now that the Li family's claws have been extended, we have to think of a way. ”

The crowd was silent. As Mrs. Xian said just now, they are also weak now, and they can't confront the Li family head-on. What should I do?

Suddenly, Dugu said loudly without tears: "Auntie, grandma, you teach me kung fu!" I'm going to kill them and leave them behind! ”

Dugu's tearless voice broke the gloomy atmosphere. Mrs. Xian stretched out her hand and touched Dugu's little head without tears and said, "As long as you want to learn, we will definitely teach." It's just that our Xian family's gun can't break the Li family's mixed yuan body protection magic skill. After hundreds of years of recuperation, the Li family has already cultivated their exercises to the point where they can dominate the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that your Dugu family's Dugu Divine Sword has been dimmed! Ask who in the world can still compete with the Li family? Ugh—"

In the end, Mrs. Xian sighed, and all kinds of powerlessness and helplessness were contained in it.

At this time, Xian Xingyun stood up silently. I saw her walk to the wall, press the button, and take out a red-handled, white-bladed spear that was a head taller than her. The handle has dragon patterns, the dragon's whiskers are tasseled, and the white blade is contained in the dragon's mouth, like a red dragon spitting light, domineering!

Xian Xingyun held the gun and threw it on the ground, and said to Mrs. Xian and Aunt Xian: "Mom, grandma, I want to try!" ”

Her face was calm and her attitude was calm, but her body was full of fighting spirit, and she was ready to attack. Although I am not familiar enough with the Earth Exercises, I can also see that her cultivation is much higher than Zhixuan's.

When Aunt Xian saw Xian Xingyun's actions, she was about to stop her, but was stopped by Mrs. Xian and said, "Although the Xian family is weak, they can't be a shrinking person. Xingyun has grown up, and the red dragon lance can't always lurk at the bottom of the lake. If the red dragon doesn't come out, the Li family's turtle shell skills will become more and more arrogant! It's good to let Xingyun go out and frustrate their spirit, maybe you can get unexpected results. ”

"Mom, I understand what you said...... But Xingyun is only 20 years old, and she doesn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes......" Aunt Xian said worriedly.

Mrs. Xian interrupted Aunt Xian a little annoyed and said, "You went out to the wild when you were sixteen years old, did my mother keep you at that time?" Jianghu experience, Jianghu experience, where is the experience if you don't break into the rivers and lakes! Look at the few in front of you, you look at the tears, he is only 8 years old, and he is not the same as the rivers and lakes! Look at Zhixuan again, she is also a girl, and she has experienced the battle of life and death, but she is still sitting in front of you alive? Do our Xian girls need to live in a greenhouse to grow up? Xiaoyun, go ahead, grandma supports you! ”

Xian Xingyun received the support of Mrs. Xian, and her confidence was even fuller, and she comforted her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll be fine. ”

Aunt Xian stood up and walked to Xian Xingyun's side, hugged her, bowed her head and wept, and prayed silently in her heart.

I don't really like this kind of warm and sad imagery, it disturbs my mind. In order to alleviate this atmosphere, I took out the stone that my second uncle gave me before he died, and said to Mrs. Xian, "Do you know this thing? ”

Mrs. Xian took the stone, observed it carefully, and then handed the stone to Xian Xingyun and said, "Yun'er, do you know?" ”

Xian Xingyun took the stone and said in a tone of uncertainty: "It's a bit like Pingyun Mountain." ”

"Do you know how to get there?" I asked Xian Xingyun.

Since the second uncle gave me this thing, there must be his reasons, I plan to go there to have a look, maybe I can find some clues related to the Dugu family's divine sword technique.

"Acquaintance." Xingyun nodded affirmatively.

"This is the old man of the Dugu family?" Mrs. Xian asked tentatively.

After I nodded in response, Mrs. Xian stretched her back and said slowly, "That place is worth visiting." ”

"Are there any gods there?" Dugu Wuxi, who had been silent, suddenly asked with interest.

Everyone laughed. Mrs. Xian then joked: "This is not certain, if you are lucky, you may encounter it." ”

Looking at Dugu's tearless face of anticipation, I knew that he was fine. So I set my sights on Leung Tsz Xuan. Liang Youwei asked me to do what my uncle asked me to do when he was dying, and I have done it. And it's a good place to take refuge. Whether to go or stay can only depend on how she chooses.

Liang Zhixuan glanced around at everyone and found that everyone was looking at her, so she lowered her head and hid. After a few seconds, she took out her pistol and wiped it for a while, whispering, "I'll go too." ”

Aunt Xian walked up to Zhixuan, hugged her and whispered, "This will be your home from now on, if you suffer outside, you must remember to come back." ”

Zhixuan took out a pair of dragon and phoenix rings from her parents' pocket, handed them to Aunt Xian with tears in her eyes, and said, "Aunt Xian will help me keep it first, and I will come back to get it." ”

"Well, I'll have to come back and get it."

……

Before dawn the next morning, me, Dugu Wuxi, Liang Zhixuan, and Xian Xingyun took the elevator back to the water. The woman who picked us up last night was already waiting for us on the water with a bamboo raft, and after handing over the bamboo raft, the woman returned to the water while we rowed to the shore.

Looking down from the water, you can't see anything. The Xian family chose such a place as a base, which is indeed a good choice. What puzzles me is that the technical requirements for building an underwater base are very high, and the shortcomings are also very obvious. In the event that the base is discovered, just throw a few rigs into the water, and the people below will not even have a chance to escape. This fatal flaw is an important reason why many organizations have given up on building their bases underwater. And why did the Xian family take the risk?

After I told Xian Xingyun about my doubts, Xian Xingyun smiled calmly and said, "You will know this question later." ”

Her smile had a magical power that kept me from asking. The sky was white, and the clouds were frozen in mid-air like ink paintings. The tasteful scenery makes you forget about your troubles. Believe that when the day dawns, it will slowly get better.
