Chapter 456: Yongdao and Stone Chamber
Following Ling Yi's footsteps, Dongfang Mo and his party walked forward in this mountain gate that had been abandoned for many years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When walking through the winding path, he found that the ancient trees on both sides had all withered, and many of them had been cut off, and the deep pits and ravines left behind by various fierce fighting methods could be faintly seen around.
Dongfang Mo and the three of them walked forward for two hours, and along the way, through many clues, he faintly saw the prosperity of this place back then.
When passing by a deep sandy area, Ling Yi finally stopped here and watched for a long time. This used to be a big lake with a strong aura, and he used to sway here in a boat, but now the big lake, even the lake has dried up, and there is no trace of life.
However, in the middle of the lake, there is a pavilion with a height of seven or eight feet. It's just that the rubble on the gazebo is scattered, and the stone pillars have fallen down, and they have long been dilapidated.
After Ling Yi pondered for a moment, he let go of Xia Qingyi's support and walked towards the pavilion in the center of the lake. When he approached the gazebo, he jumped and stood in the air, and then waved his hand at the dilapidated gazebo.
"Whew!"
A strong wind blew and rolled up the broken tiles and broken eaves on the pavilion, and all the dust was blown clean, revealing the octagonal pavilion.
Ling Yi's figure flickered, and he stood in the middle of the pavilion. Dongfang Mo and the others naturally followed his steps, came to the pavilion, and stood behind him.
At this time, Ling Yi's eyes were like lightning looking at a certain position in the center of the pavilion.
I saw that as far as his eyes could see, if he looked carefully, he would find a gap that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
The moment he saw the gap, Ling Yi thrust the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand downward.
"Wow!"
With a piercing friction sound, I saw that the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand was unexpectedly submerged into the gap.
Until all the sword hilts disappeared, Ling Yi's wrist suddenly turned.
"Click!"
I heard the sound of the mechanism turning on.
However, after seven or eight breaths, Dongfang Mo found strange discoveries, and there was still no change in the surroundings.
"Rumble!"
Just as he was in doubt, suddenly he felt a shake under his feet.
I saw the dilapidated octagonal pavilion, and a layer of qi suddenly burst out from the edge of the edge, enveloping the entire pavilion and the three of them.
When Dongfang Mo was surprised in his heart, the pavilion where the three of them were located suddenly began to decline.
Dongfang Mo's expression changed slightly, and at the critical moment, he glanced up at the sky above his head.
"Flutter!"
A sound of flapping wings sounded, and the shadow easily pierced through the layer of qi and sank into the shadow beneath his feet.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Mo felt that it was dark in front of him, and with the rumbling sound, the pavilion where the three people were located continued to sink downward.
In this way, about two incense sticks passed, and the surrounding tremors finally gradually weakened, and after a while, the three of them felt a pause under their feet, and the sinking momentum stopped.
"Wow!"
There was another grinding sound, and Ling Yi slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand. Standing up straight, he reached out and snapped his fingers.
A "pop" fell.
"Puff puff ......"
I saw that in front of the three of them, rows of candles were suddenly lit, illuminating a long corridor.
The corridor is about three zhang high and one zhang wide, and all of them are made of a kind of black stone.
To Dongfang Mo's surprise, these stones, except for a protruding candle flame, did not have any spirit patterns engraved on the surface.
Ling Yi raised his footsteps and walked forward without hesitation. In the long corridor, only the sound of his lonely footsteps remained.
The first to follow was naturally Xia Qingyi.
Dongfang Mo's expression became more and more alert, but when he arrived here, he had no way out. After thinking for a moment, he finally walked forward without hurrying, but always kept a distance of about a foot behind the two.
It was only a hundred zhang distance in the road, and in front of the three of them, three forks in the road that were also lit with candles suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mo suddenly remembered the underground labyrinth that Ling Yi had told him that day.
Just as he was thinking to himself, Ling Yi had already made his way to the leftmost passage. Dongfang Mo and Xia Qingyi naturally had no other choice, and still followed his pace.
When the three of them were in the leftmost road, they went forward for a hundred feet, and there were three identical forks in front of them.
This time, Ling Yi chose the middle road and continued to move forward.
So back and forth, the three of them went through a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one choices.
It is worth mentioning that the further back he goes, the longer Ling Yi chooses to consider which corridor to enter. Especially the last few times, each time he pondered, he spent more than an hour, as if he was facing a difficult choice.
Dongfang Mo's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he guessed that if he took the wrong path, there might be some kind of consequence that even Ling Yi couldn't recover. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stop for so long, and with this time, it would have been enough to walk the other two roads one by one.
But of course he didn't bother, just made a note of the road along the way, and his expression became more and more tense.
And just like that, another few hours passed. When the three of them passed through a corridor again, and walked a hundred feet, in front of them, this time a heavy stone door appeared.
Seeing this door, Ling Yi exhaled a long breath, and the secret path finally came to an end. And along the way, he was also a little tired.
At this time, he came closer, put his hands on the cold stone door, and pushed hard under the encouragement of mana.
The heavy stone door slid and made a low sound, which seemed a little harsh in the silence.
When the stone door was completely opened, a faint yellow light poured out of it.
As soon as Ling Yi lifted his footsteps, his figure disappeared into the yellow light.
When Dongfang Mo followed Xia Qingyi's footsteps and walked into the stone gate, he was surprised to find that this place was actually a stone room.
The stone chamber is not big, the length and width are more than ten zhang, the height is five zhang, and the whole presents a square.
What made Dongfang Mo happy was that in the middle of the stone room, there was indeed an octagonal formation. It's just that the formation is now dim and covered with dust, which is obviously the result of being dusty for many years.
What attracted his attention even more was that in front of the stone room, there was a quaint case with a wooden box on it.
The moment he saw the wooden box, Dongfang Mo suddenly felt a little familiar. It must seem to be seven or eight points similar to the thousand chassis that Gu Su Wan'er brought to him to hold the immortal beard. The thousand chassis is still in his storage bag, but in this situation, he is not good at taking it out and comparing it.
When Ling Ye saw the wooden box, his body suddenly trembled, and a touch of complexity appeared in his eyes, and there were faint tears flashing.
It was because of this thing that his Ling family was destroyed by Nanyang Mountain, and now when he sees it, his heart naturally has a trace of waves.
Ling Yi walked forward around the formation, came to the front of several cases, and with a wave of his hand, a fresh breeze blew the dust on the several cases clean.
At this time, the wooden box also returned to its original pale cyan color.
Ling Yi reached out and grabbed it, and easily took the two-foot-long wooden box in his hand. Without much thought, his arm shook and turned into two afterimages, slapping at the wooden box like lightning.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of clicking.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Mo finally confirmed that this wooden box should be a treasure like a thousand chassis. It's just that he is a little strange, Gusu Wan'er once boasted that only her Gusu family can refine the thousand chassis, why did it appear here.
"Kata!"
After about seven or eight breaths, Ling Yi finally paused, and put the two-foot-long wooden box in the palm of his hand, at this time, this thing had been opened by him in a unique way, and a shallow gap on the wooden box could be faintly seen.
Just as Ling Yi was about to open the wooden box, Dongfang Mo also looked at him intently, wanting to see what kind of treasure was in the box. At this moment, his ears suddenly twitched.
"Hoo ......"
It was as if he heard an inaudible breathing.
"Wait!"
In just this moment, Dongfang Mo's expression changed greatly, and it was difficult for the secret path to have a fourth person here. Thinking of this, he immediately spoke out to stop Ling Yi's movements.
"Huh!"
However, as soon as his words fell, a black shadow flashed and rushed towards Ling Yi from a corner not far from several cases.
Before he could get closer, a dry palm wrapped in black leather had already stretched out and grabbed the pale cyan wooden box in Ling Yi's hand.
"Humph!"
Ling Yi's reaction was not unpleasant, at the critical moment, a flower in his right hand, a touch of cyan sword, instantly cut through the dim stone room, and slashed towards the dry palm.
"Boom!"
The three-foot Qingfeng was like slashing on the steel stone, and even split out several sparks.
"Oooo
Ling Yi's figure took three steps back, and finally stomped on his feet, finally standing firmly.
And the black shadow suffered a huge force, and it froze in place and was indifferent.
"Truly...... How did you find me? ”
A hoarse sound of mulberry echoed through the small stone chamber.
Dongfang Mo looked straight ahead, and saw a figure dressed in a wide black robe, covered in skin and bones, and unable to distinguish between men and women.
The man's hair was scattered, his eyes were sunken deeply, and his cloudy gaze was staring at him.
Hearing this person's words, Dongfang Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't answer what he meant.
"Who are you?"
Ling Yi felt that the right hand holding the sword was now numb, and his entire arm was trembling slightly, and with this blow alone, he judged that this person must be a Infant Transformation Realm cultivator.
"Truly...... The emperor lives up to his wishes, and finally waits for you, the remnant of the Ling family, guess who the old man is. The withered figure was not angry at Dongfang Mo's silence, and turned to look at Ling Yi and quipped.
"Your Excellency should be from Nanyang Mountain." Ling Yi's expression was cold.
"You're not stupid." The withered figure nodded.
"How did you find this place?" Listening to Ling Ye asked. You must know the labyrinth here, and if you take the wrong step, you will get lost. Moreover, there are many mechanisms in it, even if it is a cultivation in the infant realm, if it touches the mechanism, it will not be able to retreat with its whole body. And below the infant realm, it can be said that you will definitely die. So, it's not just anyone who can get in by luck.
"Although your Ling family's labyrinth array is good, but this kind of formation, as long as a few more people die, how can you not walk in." The withered figure sneered.
"The people of Nanyang Mountain are really ruthless, not only to outsiders, but also to their own people." Ling Yi's sarcasm was beyond words.
"People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, don't you understand such a simple truth? Okay, little one, the old man has been waiting for you for ten years, give me what you have in your hand, and leave you a whole corpse. ”
"You're thinking too much." Ling Yi smiled brightly, and then flipped his palm, and was about to put the wooden box into the storage bag.
This person was able to come here, but he didn't take a thousand chassis with him, it must be because he couldn't open it when he took it away. The things left by the ancient Gu Su family are not something that ordinary people can crack. That's why he has been waiting for his arrival, and he is the only one in this world who has the means to open this thing.
However, as soon as he made a move, he suddenly felt a numbness in his arm, and saw black spots the size of fingernails appear on the palm of his hand that grabbed the wooden box.
The dark spots condensed but did not disperse, and began to live a life of two, two and three, from the palm of his hand to the entire arm in an instant, and there was a tendency to go towards the whole body.
"Bitter!"
For just this moment, Ling Yi's expression changed greatly when he looked at the wooden box, not wanting this person to make a move on the wooden box.
Immediately after that, his palm softened, and with a "click", the wooden box fell to the ground.
