Chapter 59: Dig into it
Unconsciously, half a day passed, after a day and a night of hurrying, they had already moved away from the area of Yuzhou City, and came to a mountain with steep mountains, the carriage was very bumpy on this kind of mountain road, and Xiao Liu couldn't continue to cultivate, so he simply opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the car.
I saw that the winding mountains continued to form towering mountains, and the mountains were covered with green vegetation, rendering this mountain range vigorous and deep, and from a distance, it looked like a dormant dark green dragon sleeping here.
"We'll have to get out of the car in half an hour and get on our feet, so get ready. ”
Miao Lanlan stroked Xiaobai and said, it is obvious that she has come to explore this area more than once, and she is very familiar with it.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, the road ahead became steeper, the trees became thicker, and the carriage became impassable.
Miao Lanlan, Xiao Liu, and Meng Liang got out of the car one after another, and after glancing at each other, Miao Lanlan took the lead in speaking
"Now you can just follow me, and the carriage will be on standby. There are no monsters around here, and it's safe. Let's go and get back quickly. ”
When Meng Liang heard this, he walked forward and glanced at the two grooms, and the two of them led the carriage to find a place to rest.
Xiao Liu found that Meng Liang and the two horsemen seemed to have no communication barrier through observation, which made him feel very strange, because Meng Liang didn't need to use these two deaf and dumb coachmen often.
Xiao Liu couldn't exchange opinions with Miao Lanlan about this question, so he kept it in his heart for the time being.
Soon, under the guidance of Miao Lanlan, the three of them began to jump between the mountains and forests, and as Miao Lanlan said, they did not encounter any demon beasts blocking the way.
After about two hours, Miao Lanlan took the two of them to a very hidden mountain col.
This place is surrounded by mountains hundreds of meters high, and the terrain is at least three or five hundred meters higher than Yuzhou City.
Soon, Miao Lanlan found a very inconspicuous stone pile in the mountain col, which did not seem to be natural, as if someone had recently been able to make it.
"This is a deliberate stay I left the last time I was here. Underneath this pile of rocks is the entrance to the ruins!"
Meng Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he took two steps forward and pushed aside the top stone with one hand, it seemed that this stone weighing hundreds of catties was completely weightless in his hands!
"Sure enough, there's a hole deep underground!
When Meng Liang saw that there was really an entrance, he immediately said excitedly.
"Hmph, Lord Meng, did I call you all the way to visit the mountains and rivers?"
Hearing the dissatisfied voice of the ghost hand, Meng Liang realized that he had lost his words and hurriedly apologized
"Secret envoy, I don't doubt you, it's just that the ancient ruins are too far away from the lower officials, and I, Meng, never thought that I would be lucky enough to be able to explore an ancient ruins that have never been discovered! ”
Miao Lanlan didn't grasp this matter, now that they are all in a group, it is naturally not good to make a fuss before they start exploring.
So she spoke
"Okay, let's go in quickly, I've been in here before, and there's still a short distance down there!"
At that moment, the three of them worked together, and soon cleared all the piles of stones that were three people tall, revealing a hole half a zhang in size and irregular shape.
At most, this hole can accommodate an adult to get into, so the three of them entered in turn, still led by Miao Lanlan, Xiao Liu behind her, and Meng Liang at the end.
After entering the cave, there is a tunnel that winds diagonally downward, and the tunnel is very uneven, so the speed of the trio is not fast.
After walking like this for about an hour, Xiao Liu estimated that when he had at least descended a distance of nearly a kilometer, the road ahead began to become wider, and the three of them were already able to stand and walk side by side.
"Secret envoy, we have all descended so much, could this ancient ruin not be in the depths of the earth's core? I have heard that there is a terrifying earth-centered fire in the center of the earth, and it is very terrifying to be able to instantly incinerate immortal cultivators like us! I'm worried about ......"
Before Meng Liang's words were finished, Miao Lanlan snorted disdainfully on the side
"How can you say that you are also a city lord, how can you be so timid? You really know how deep and thick this land is? Don't you say that we are only a kilometer away, you are still 108,000 miles away from the center of the earth in the next three days and three nights! You just follow me honestly, I have been here before, and it is very safe!"
Hearing Miao Lanlan's disdainful tone, Meng Liang laughed awkwardly, but anger flashed in his eyes.
Since he knew that the ghost hand was a cronie of the prince's side, he Meng Liang could be said to have groveled and lowered his posture enough, but this woman obviously didn't know what to do, this is when he Meng Liang is a cat and dog who can be scolded by her casually!?
Meng Liang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to show his dissatisfaction with the ghost hand in his heart, so the three of them continued to descend along the tunnel that was many times wider.
Along the way, Xiaoliu found that the tunnel was actually very damp, and there were even occasional stalactites dripping with water droplets on the top.
After advancing again for about an hour, the tunnel they were in had become extremely wide, reaching a height of two hundred meters away, like a huge cave.
In the depths of this vast underground, the outline of a building gradually appeared in front of the three of them.
"We're here!"
The three of them came to this 100-meter-tall building, and a simple and magnificent atmosphere greeted them, this ancient building did not know how many years it had quietly existed here, and it was covered with fine cracks, making it feel as if a gust of wind could make it turn into powder and drift away.
There are a lot of patterns on the building that are no longer legible, and the most attractive thing is the two tightly closed stone doors in the center of it!
"That's where I ended when I arrived. The building was obviously just an entrance, and the two stone doors in front of me were actually extremely heavy. I didn't open it last time, even though I ran out of means. That's why I'm going to bring the two of you over this time!"
After the ghost hand, that is, Miao Lanlan, came here, there was no need to hide it anymore, and directly stated the real purpose of bringing Meng Liang and Xiaoliu here.
"In that case, let's go and try it quickly, maybe with the help of the three of us, we can push it away!"
Meng Liang was the first to take the lead when he heard this, and he was the first to step forward if he was eager to try.
"Wait! Ancient ruins can't let you run around!
The hoarse voice of the ghost hand sounded from behind Meng Liang, so he could only stop and look back at the other party in wonder.
At this time, the ghost hand had an extra milky white spar in his hand, about half the size of a fist, and Meng Liang recognized it at a glance
"Is this a primordial stone? And it's the kind of uncut metastone? What are you doing with it?"
Xiao Liu had never seen Yuan Shi, let alone knew what it was, but after Mo Wu explained in his mind, he realized that this thing was a good treasure that could be absorbed and cultivated.
Such a large piece of yuanshi, if cut well, can probably be worth fifty standard size yuanshi.
Under the gaze of Xiao Liu and Meng Liang, the ghost hand directly shook his hand, and with a whoosh, he threw the yuan stone out as a hidden weapon and smashed it on the stone door.
"Click!", the Yuan Stone collided with the stone gate under the power of the ghost hand, shattered, and a wave of vitality fluctuations emanated, which was somewhat similar to the fluctuations generated by the immortal cultivator's hands.
The change happened suddenly at this moment, in front of the two quietly towering stone doors, two white flames suddenly erupted from both sides, and the flames covered all the open space in front of the stone gate, and a palpitating heat came to the face, Meng Liang, who was standing at the front, was caught off guard, and was scorched, and a lot of his hair was roasted and curled!
The place where Xiao Liu and the ghost hand were standing was exactly where the heat couldn't reach, so although he could feel the heat wave hitting his face, it was fine.
Meng Liang retreated to the two of them in embarrassment, and glanced at the ghost hand with a resentful gaze, the ghost hand could have told him this in advance just now, but this woman didn't, which would make him such a big ugly!
The more he came into contact with this woman, the more Meng Liang became angry with her, and the malice in his heart continued to grow.
But Meng Liang still held back, probably after the tea effort, the terrifying white flame finally dissipated, and the broken Yuan Stone fragments on the ground were completely vaporized under the terrifying high temperature just now, leaving nothing behind!
"It's such a terrifying flame, even the Yuan Stone can be burned and dissipated. If a person is touched by this flame, he will definitely die! Thank you for saving your life!"
No matter how angry Meng Liang was in his heart, his surface kung fu was extremely good, and he immediately clasped his fists and saluted the ghost hand after the flames were extinguished.
And Miao Lanlan waved her hand indifferently
"Alright, after the flames erupt, we can try to open the gate. Last time I couldn't do it alone, but now the three of us can always open it up, right?!"
After saying that, she didn't pay attention to Meng Liang, who was holding her fists on the side, she took the lead in walking towards the stone gate, and Xiao Liu naturally followed her when she saw this.
Meng Liang closed his fists and stood, and followed towards the stone gate at the end, but his fists that were still clenched, and the joints turned white because of the force, showing that Meng Liang's heart was not as calm as he seemed at this time.
"Stinky girl, I think I'm a secret envoy sent by the prince, just show me my face!?Very good, when you find out that everything is under Lao Tzu's control, I don't know what kind of expression you will have!?Let's go and see......
