Chapter 228: Eavesdropping

According to the layout of the Four Sages, the hole behind this Xuanwu should be a waterway, which is used to connect the Cold Bone Well with the rest of the Nine Immortals. There is no way to go out, so you can only bet on whether there is a way out of this waterway.

I used pranayama to minimize the various functions of my body, and with a slight dip of water, I went into this hole. But as soon as I entered, I immediately stepped backwards and flashed to the side. As a rapid undercurrent gushed out of the hole, a huge black shadow was seen coming out.

I used to see this thing in a tomb with my third uncle, and it was a kind of insect that specialized in living on carrion corpses, called corpse lameness. But the average corpse can grow to the size of a palm at most, but this black shadow, which is almost bigger than a basin, swims like a ghost in the water.

My scalp was tingling at the sight. Because such a thing as a corpse has always been a social creature, and it is a group to appear. Corpses generally only eat carrion, but the monsters here are not necessarily, once they are discovered, they rush up, and even the iron man is torn apart. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the method of dealing with those grievances in the Nine Yin Pagoda that day, and immediately activated the Yin and Yang Bottle, adjusting the qi in his body to be consistent with the surroundings.

Sure enough, before my thoughts could be stopped, another undercurrent gushed out, followed by a black corpse rushing into the bottom of the well with the undercurrent.

That's when I suddenly came to my senses. The structure of this cold bone well is probably not as simple as the Four Saints guarding it. The cold bone well belongs to the extreme yin, and there are no living creatures in it. But with the exception of the corpse that lives on carrion, this thing is originally a kind of feminine thing.

These corpses are supposed to have been deliberately raised by people, used to travel back and forth in this waterway, connecting the veins and paths of the cold bone well and the other structures of Jiuxiantai.

I stood quietly in the water for a moment, carefully merging my body's qi with the cold bone well, and letting these huge ghosts squeeze past me. This corpse lives in dark places all year round, and mainly relies on the subtle sense of qi to find prey. If it were a different person, I am afraid that I would not have been frozen to death and drowned, but I would have to be gnawed by these corpses to the point that only a skeleton remained.

Taking advantage of the corpses turning in the other direction, I quietly burrowed into the hole in the Xuanwu direction and swam forward along the waterway. In the past, he was thrown into the cold bone well by Qingzi every day, hanging in the cold well water to refine his eyes, but he practiced his breath for a long time, and he was not at risk of suffocation for the time being.

But if there is no end to this waterway, then you can only consider yourself unlucky, and you will sink the corpses in this undercurrent and become the mouth of the group of corpses.

Looking at the water, it is clear that the hole is not naturally formed, but excavated by hand, and every few dozen steps, you can see a square stone slab embedded in the cave wall. The stone slabs were carved with forbidden patterns, and countless stone slabs were connected in series to form some kind of formation.

From time to time, you can also encounter a group of corpses that go down the river, so they sink down and float under the water to get out of the way. After swimming forward for a while, I felt that my breath was a little insufficient, and I couldn't hold it back. Fortunately, when I swam a little longer, I saw that the front gradually became wider, from a hole with a diameter of three feet to five feet or six feet......

After swimming for a while, I noticed that the top of my head suddenly became open, and I immediately floated up, suddenly revealing the water, and took a deep breath, and my heart beat wildly. If you look around, you will find that you are in a cave with an open terrain, and the original waterway has formed an underground dark river here.

I floated to the surface for a while and continued to swim forward. Now I understand a little, the structure of such a huge and complex burial array in Jiuxiantai must be through this underground dark river, connecting the various burial bureaus.

After a little further travel, I saw countless bones on both sides of the river, both human bones and the remains of livestock. This area was apparently a corpse accumulation site, used to provide a steady stream of yin qi to one of the burial platforms in the Nine Immortals. Countless black shadows lurked in those bones, and when they looked closely, they found that they were groups of corpses, some large and some small, dense and terrifying.

I let out my breath and crept through the corpse field. This dark river should have been born around the eye of the earth, and after artificial transformation, it has already become a yin river. The river is yin and cold, and at this time I am extremely glad that the hardships in the cold bone well in the previous years are really not in vain.

After swimming a little further, I found that the terrain on both sides of the terrain was gradually rising, so I thought about it in my heart, left the dark river, and climbed onto the riverbank. As you walk further along the riverbank, the terrain gets higher and higher, and after a while, you can't see the dark river below. After a few more steps, I stopped, sat cross-legged against the rock wall, closed my eyes and carefully remembered the direction I had passed along the dark river.

Once you've sorted it out, move on. After walking a few dozen steps, the rock wall above this head became lower and lower, and the space became narrower and narrower, as if there was almost no way ahead. I took a deep breath, and I didn't smell that muddy dead air in the air, and I had some bottom in my heart.

Further on, the space becomes narrower and narrower, and you can only walk forward with your back hunched, and finally you can only crawl forward on the ground. But as long as the inhaled air is alive, it's fine. After crawling for a while, the front became open again. When I stood up, I saw a rock wall in front of me, and there was no way out, but there was a stream of air coming down from overhead.

I looked up for a while, and began to climb up the rock wall, about twenty meters high, and I approached the rock wall above me. I carefully sensed where the air was coming from, and was about to climb a little higher, when suddenly my heart jumped, and I immediately stopped.

Holding my breath and listening, I heard what seemed to be a faint human voice rushing in with the air current. I immediately realized that this place must be very close to the ground.

I watched for a while, and saw that the air was coming from a hole on the other side. Carefully climb the rock wall and move your body over, trying not to make a big noise. As soon as I shrank into the hole, I felt a surge of air, and the voices of people outside could be heard more and more clearly.

I didn't move anymore, I listened with my ears sideways. Listening to the voice, it seems to be a group of people outside, and it should be near me. After listening for a while, I heard a familiar loud voice coming in.

"What the hell is this place, how can I get more and more confused the more I walk!" It was the voice of Huang Heguan's horse's face. This guy has a short temper and a loud voice, and he can hear it very clearly in a crowd of voices.

Someone answered: "This place is weird, everyone be careful." This person's voice was deep, and it sounded like it should be the yellow-robed Taoist surnamed Liu of the Heavenly Master Dao. Immediately afterwards, several people were heard answering at the same time, but the voice was weak, and it seemed that he was lacking in qi. Listening to the voice, it was quite young, about a few young disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao, or maybe a few disciples of Huang Heguan also came.

There are also a few voices that are quite old, presumably those who followed the yellow robe.

I only heard one person say: "Old Meng, you said that there is an eye hidden in this place, where is it?" ”

Immediately afterwards, a voice said: "This earth eye is indeed hidden in this mountain, and the Wang family died unjustly in the earth eye back then, so he became a red-clothed ferocious." It's just that...... Hey, people are old, and their memory is not good, and I don't know if they remember the wrong way. When I heard this voice, it was quite familiar. The gray-haired, squinting-eyed old man immediately came to mind.

I only heard the horse's face and voice say in a loud voice: "Old Meng, are you really mistaken?" How can there be an eye in our realm, no one has ever heard of it! Are you also blinded by that nonsense imp! ”

Fuck, this birdman actually pulled me on the head again.

Before I could finish my sentence, I heard a voice say: "Uncle Dao, there is indeed an eye hidden in this mountain, and a very terrible burial array has been arranged!" ”

I listened to my heart skipping a beat, this voice was crisp, gentle with a bit of rigidity, it turned out that Chen Lin also followed. Immediately afterwards, I heard a voice a few times, and helped Chen Lin on the side. Well, that old man Zheng is also here.

The horse's face immediately shouted angrily: "What terrible burial array? That's what kind of Nine Immortals you are talking about? Do you believe in this kind of false preaching? ”

This bull's nose is really brainless. I heard that Meng Lao snorted a few times and said: "This earth eye does exist, as for this Nine Immortals, I'm afraid it's really a child's nonsense." Let's look again, look again. ”
