Chapter 45: The Bottomless and Boundless Hole
"Looks like they're supposed to be in." Yi Yu stood outside a cave and stroked the rattan that covered the entrance of the cave with his hand.
"I don't know which hole they entered, though."
According to the rumor, he looked at Han Zhu, but found that there was also an identical cave in front of Han Qi. When I got closer, I found that not only in front of Han Qi, but also in their southeast, northwest, and northwest directions, were all exactly the same caves. As far as the eye can see, there are about thirty-six mouths.
"This should be the rumored Unbounded Cave." After spinning around, he said.
"Unbounded Cave?"
"It is reported that it was a puppet made by the Queen Mother of the West with her heart's work that year, and the excavation was completed. Thirty-six holes, holes are connected with holes, in which the road is winding and complex, and there are many forks. People who don't know the rules trespass in, like a ghost hitting a wall, and don't think about the first day of walking. It is the best place to hold prisoners and hide treasures. Because only one path is right, the rest are almost all bottomless pits with no boundaries. ”
"That Lizhu and Xiang ignore them, not ......"
"They should have the guidance of the Yellow Emperor. But right now, we're in a dilemma. Neither advance nor retreat! ”
"Since the hole is connected to the hole, even if the hole at the entrance is wrong, as long as the fork in the road inside is right, there is hope? Otherwise, even if the entrance is right and the fork in the road is wrong, it will be in vain! ”
"That's what I said. The question is, can we be sure that we are on the right path? If we walk around and are just going around in circles, let alone getting the Qingyu Book, our own lives will not be guaranteed. ”
"How do you know if you don't try? Besides, I also stayed in Lanqi Pavilion, and during this time, I knew a little bit about the immortal array of the immortal method, maybe after entering, I could guess some rules. ”
Han Qi looked at Yi Yu's confident eyes, and after thinking twice, he finally said with certainty: "Okay, let's bet this time!" I don't believe it can really trap a highness and a princess! Which one to choose? ”
After looking around, he raised his slender jade hand, pointed to the one with the least rattan at the entrance of the cave and said, "This." ”
Han Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Are you doing the opposite?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to make a mark at the entrance of the cave, and then turned back to tell Yi Yu behind him: "If you encounter danger, you don't care about me, run first, do you know?" ”
"Big Brother ......"
"You must promise me!" Han said loudly.
According to the rumor, he couldn't resist it, so he nodded reluctantly. Only then did Han Qi let Yi Yu follow behind him and cautiously walked into the cave.
As soon as the banquet in Yaochi Palace ended, Julong immediately rushed out. It attracted the unbelievable eyes of countless people. The poor cicada mixed in the crowd, looked around at the figure of Yi Yu, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Julong in a hurry, and suddenly felt strange, so he followed Julong away.
Julong stood at the exit of the palace, condescendingly scanning the scattered peach blossom forests outside the hall, and the rows of rooms that could only be faintly visible. I was secretly thinking about it. Although the sentence dragon is above the Han Dynasty, the two are good brothers who take care of each other. The tacit understanding cultivated on the battlefield and in the wine field for thousands of years made it easy for Julong to find the mark left on the tree. The corners of Julong's mouth were raised without slashing, and he muttered in his mouth: "Good boy, you still found out first!" ”
After half an hour's effort, Julong had already followed Han Qi's instructions and rushed to the dark forest. After making sure that the mark left by Han Qi was on the left, he was about to leave when there was a rustling sound behind him. Ju Long's heart tightened, gathered his spiritual power in his palm, and shouted behind him: "Who is the friend who came here late at night?" ”
The poor cicada was secretly ruthless, and was taking a small step, preparing to face to face with Julong. But he didn't want to be not far behind him, and the two of them had already walked out, and the poor cicada immediately retreated behind the tree and watched the changes.
"It's us." A resolute and powerful female voice floated from the forest, and by the moonlight, Julong saw that the person who came was Ji Jingwei, the king of Shennong Kingdom, and beside her was His Royal Highness. Julong withdrew his spiritual power, but asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Just after the dinner, we met the Demon Qi King on the way back to the room. We've followed him all the way here. "Why are you here?" ”
"It's a long story." Ju Long led Ai Cang and Jingwei forward, while briefly telling the story of the Demon Qi King coming to find him.
"You mean, the Demon Qi King also intended to bring us here? In order to get on the green jade book? Jingwei continued with the dragon's words.
"Exactly. Do you think, one of the best things for the Demon Qi King is the speed of the volley leap, whether it is the God Clan, the Demon Clan or the Wu Clan, how many people in the Great Wilderness Liuhe can catch up with him, he will let you follow him so easily? ”
That's exactly what I said. I've been wondering just now, I always feel that something is wrong, it turns out to be here! Wai Cang nodded in agreement, "I just don't know what his motives are?" Why did you let us come? ”
"I guess he wants to borrow our hand to prevent the Yellow Emperor from getting the Shangqing Jade Book."
"Isn't he afraid of falling into the hands of any of us?" Jingwei said.
"If you want to fall into our hands, you won't be a threat to him, right? Perhaps, his wishful thinking is to let us eliminate the Yellow Emperor. ”
"Since His Majesty Julong is honest with us, he will inform our brothers and sisters of such important news. Then I also have a few words, and I think it is necessary to make it clear to His Majesty Julong first. Ai Cang suddenly stopped, his expression solemn.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"First, we met once, although we did not have a deep friendship, but we were not enemies, and Ai Cang did not want to fall into a dilemma with His Majesty Julong, so we broke off the friendship between the two; Second, we all countries work, Huaxu and Shennong have also been reconciled for a thousand years, and Aicang does not want to ruin the alliance between the two countries in order to compete for the Qingyu Book. Therefore, the sad and ugly words come first, and we are bound to get the green jade book. Each one of you will win it by his own ability, and we will not interfere with it, nor will we help you. But in the face of a common crisis, we can unite against the enemy. Understandable? ”
"Big brother, you say that...... After all, the news was revealed to us. Jingwei looked at Julong in embarrassment.
Julong didn't mind at all and said with a smile: "What a straightforward character!" Just a few words to you, Julong has made you a friend! Jingwei, don't blame your eldest brother, it's better to make these words clear earlier. If I had been scheming and selfish, I would not have told you this news, but since I have said it, I already have a plan in my heart. This is a fair competition between our two countries! ”
"Good!" Wai Cang stretched out his palm to Ju Long, and Ju Long shook it happily. The hazy moonlight was shining a touch of silver on their hands. The faces of the two of them are full of admiration and admiration, hatred of seeing each other, and helplessness to fight.
Jingwei also put his hand on top of their handshake, and after the three of them looked at each other and smiled, they immediately rushed forward.
When the three of them rushed outside the Unbounded Cave, they were all dumbfounded. They stood back to back, their minds blank as they looked at the swarthy hole in front of them.
"Unbounded Cave? It is indeed a great place to hide things. Julong's voice was flat and distant.
"Did His Highness leave a message?" Jingwei asked as he watched Julong carefully look at the rocks next to the cave entrance one by one. Finally, Julong stopped outside a smaller cave and motioned for Jingwei and Ai Cang, who had helped to find the mark, to come over.
"Unbounded holes, holes are connected to holes, and if we accidentally get lost, we will use our spiritual power to shout for help." Julong advised.
"You go behind me." Ai Cang dragged Jingwei behind him. Jingwei was very dissatisfied and said: "Big brother, I am also a general who has been fighting for many years!" It's not Wang Ji who is raised in the deep palace! With that, he rushed ahead of Ai Cang and followed Julong into the entrance of the cave. Ai Cang sighed and immediately followed.
The poor cicada hiding in the distance watched them disappear one by one at the entrance of the cave, hesitated for a while, and walked in without hesitation. No one cared that on the top of the mountain west of the Unbounded Cave, there were two slender figures standing on the full moon. One is charming and graceful, and the other is burly and upright, and domineering.
"They all went in." Glaze Annihilation said with a smile, as sweet as eating honey in his heart, "The first step is a success." ”
"There you go." Langya's indifferent eyes didn't even turn, staring at the entrance of the cave and saying.
"Aren't you worried that the Yellow Emperor or Shao Hao will also break in later?"
"Since the Yellow Emperor has already sent someone, how can he do it himself? He must have dragged the Queen Mother of the West and Shao Hao to buy time. We don't have much time, so you'd better be quick. ”
"Don't worry, I will let them go and kill each other inside! Especially, that Gao Yang is still ......"
As soon as the glaze annihilation words came out, Langya "swooped" like a cannibal, and looked at the glaze oblivion as if it was a hairy heart.
"Got it......" Glaze Yan brushed away unwillingly.
Han Qi and Yi Yu have made a lot of aimless detours in the cave. The hole here is deep and pitch black. Each road looks the same, covered with caryophyllum stalagmites, upside-down stalactites, and strange rocks. There was still a shallow stream of water flowing under his feet, and the faint sound of dripping water always echoed in the cave.
"I don't know how long we've been gone." Yi Yu whispered, "Maybe the dragon is already here." ”
"I hope that we can outflank Zhu and Xiang in two ways and intercept Lizhu and Xianggang." Han Qi touched the rock wall on the side with his hand, and said in surprise, "I thought it should be full of traps and traps, why are we so unimpeded along the way?" ”
"Perhaps, the Queen Mother of the West thinks that the terrain of the Unbounded Cave is complex and changeable, so she doesn't need to be guarded by any mechanism."
"I always feel uneasy......
As soon as Han Qi's words landed, there was a rumbling sound in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, countless stalactites shot at them like dense feathered arrows. Han Qi hurriedly used the wood spirit he cultivated, but the lack of wood in the cave made Han Qi's wood spirit not play the greatest role, and the stalactite that broke through the defense grazed Han Qi's arm, leaving a touch of blood.
Spun around and took off to avoid the stalactite's attack. The other party was menacing, she concentrated on her mental strength, and the stalactite finally stopped at half an arm in front of her. But after only a moment's pause, they rushed through Yi Yu's mental power layer and approached Yi Yu. Yi Yu hurriedly lowered his waist, barely dodging the fatal attack. It's just that there are a lot of scars on his hands and legs.
Han Zhu bit on his index finger, and a drop of blood oozed out of his heart. He used his bloody hand to sway twice in the air, then filled it with spiritual power, and let out a loud shout, he simply pulled down the stalactites above their heads that had no offensive power, and quickly took root and grew in front of them, forming countless shields to resist the attack of the stalactites on the opposite side.
The shield minus the impact of the stalactites, and Yi Yu had plenty of time to strengthen his telekinesis. Her eyes were as bright as fire in the dark hole, her crimson pupils stared straight at the stalactites, and her mind trembled, and she saw the stalactites in front of her split in two and broke in mid-air.
"Rumors, rumors?" Han Qi waved his hand twice in front of Yi Yu's eyes, and then pushed her. Only then did the rumor come back to his senses, and his crimson pupils turned back to light brown. "In the past, when you used your telekinesis, did your pupils change color?" Han Qi asked.
"Yes, yes! It's just that the eldest brother didn't care. A smell of blood was amplified and rushed into Yi Yu's nasal cavity, Yi Yu looked at the blood stains on Han Qi's body, and his pupils flashed blood, but Yi Yu quickly controlled it. She hurriedly said to Han Qi: "So the eldest brother's heart is at ease, right?" The Queen Mother of the West really still has an immortal array. ”
Han Qi didn't notice the strangeness of the rumor, but smiled bitterly and said, "I really shouldn't have said that." Be careful! ”
Yi Yu nodded and followed Han Zhu. In his heart, he turned the river and the sea, obviously he had suppressed his bloodthirsty desire when he was in Lanqi Pavilion, and he had no more seizures since he came back, how could he feel like this again when he was in the cave just with his mental power? Is it because you are overusing your own mental power?
There is no room for thinking clearly according to the rumors, and they are standing on four forks in the road. Yi Yu looked helplessly at Han Qi, who was frowning.
