Chapter 223: The Stronghold

After some galloping, like water and moonlight, the two came to an old well outside the city, Xingliuyun threw an unknown object into the well, turned his head and nodded to Xiao Cong, and then jumped down, Xiao Cong did not hesitate, and Hongxiang who hugged him in his arms also jumped down.

The depth of the well is about 30 zhang, there is a stone platform at the place where it does not reach the water surface, the stone platform is built by digging the wall of the well, so as to go inside, it is a stone door, enter the stone gate, and then go to Rio and go a hundred zhang, see that there is a stone step that leads to the bottom, go down the stone steps to the depths, it is a quadripartite fork in the road, Xingliuyun continues to go inside along a fork in the road, so zigzag and after a few choices, finally come to a dilapidated house underground, the house is not big, the area is about the size of an ordinary villager's house, there is a main hall in front of it, there are several partial rooms on both sides, and the living utensils are readily available, you don't need to think about it, you know, this should be a secret stronghold of the fine son of the Xing family。

Xingliuyun took Xiao Cong to a side room on the left, Xiao Cong carefully placed Hongxiang on the stone bed located in the innermost part of the side room, and took out a piece of clothing from Mi Mustard and laid it on the other side of the stone bed, and finally moved Hongxiang to the paved clothes.

Starstream Cloud approached and said softly with concern:

"How's that, is there a way?"

Xiao Cong looked intently at Hongxiang, who was lying motionless on the bed, and sighed:

"Now that we're here, let's give it a try. ”

After speaking, he took out the illusion and put the ring on his hand, and although he didn't know why, Xingliuyun still took two steps back very familiarly.

After a while, Xiao Cong took off his ring and drew a strange pattern on the ground with Zhu Xian as a pen, Xingliuyun was silent, and took a few steps back to make room.

Xiao Cong took out all the items needed for the array, piled them up into a one-person high hill at the door, and then began to place them meticulously, but the speed of the array was much slower than usual, and every item had to be thought about for a while, half an hour later, Xiao Cong was already sweating like rain, and his clothes could be soaked with sweat in such a cool place, and the degree of effort and effort can be imagined.

Xingliuyun leaned on the door frame and watched quietly, motionless, only the table placed near the corner of the door was a candle as thick as an adult's thumb, in the slightly dim candlelight, Xiao Cong's flushed face and Hongxiang's pale face formed a sharp contrast, an invisible barrier seemed to separate this side room into the world and the underworld.

Three hours later, Xiao Cong's magic circle was finally successfully completed, he raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his face and neck with his sleeve, a flushed face seemed to be oozing blood, he turned his head to Xingliuyun and said:

"Boss, do you have cold water?"

Xingliuyun moved away from the door frame and straightened up, raised his chin, and said:

"Yes, follow me. ”

Xiao Cong followed Xingliuyun away, and found a large vat full of water in the side room on the other side of the underground house, Xiao Cong completely submerged himself in the water with his clothes closed, and stayed in it for nearly half a cup of tea before poking his head out of the water, reaching out and wiping his face vigorously, panting heavily.

Xingliuyun leaned on the door frame with his chest crossed and saw Xiao Cong

Poking his head out of the water, he said with concern:

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Cong walked out of the tank and replied casually with a weak voice:

"It's not a big deal. ”

"What about Hongxiang?" asked Xingliuyun, leaning over.

Xiao Cong sighed,

"The poison is temporarily stabilized, but it cannot be completely removed, if you want to save him, unless you ......"

Xiao Cong swallowed helplessly, and stopped talking.

"Unless anything!"

"After delaying for so long, even if the Shangguan family really has an antidote, it will be useless, unless you find the legendary Quenching Corpse Pill," Xiao Cong's face was bitter, he turned his head to look at the side room opposite where Hongxiang was placed, sighed, and continued: "He will continue to sleep like this, and he will never wake up again." ”

Xingliuyun swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and after a while, he muttered:

"Quenching Corpse Pill, that thing is not easy to find. ”

Xiao Cong nodded,

"It's really hard for ordinary monks to find, but I happen to have some clues, and maybe I can find a glimmer of life. ”

Xingliuyun looked at Xiao Cong for a long time and asked:

"Is that place dangerous? ”

Xiao Cong shook his head slowly,

"The four major families can't do without you now, so you might as well stay here. ”

"But ......"

Xiao Cong raised his head suddenly, looked at the Xingliu Yun with a slightly sluggish face, and said undeniably:

"Take care of Hongxiang for me. ”

The Nebula Ghost, who had never seen Xiao Cong behave like this, nodded his head in a daze, and looked a little stunned, the atmosphere fell silent for a while, and after a while, Xingliuyun asked cautiously:

"Satoshi, you...... How are you going to deal with the Zhuge family?"

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, and then we will think about it in the long run when I come back to save Hongxiang. Xiao Cong said lightly.

"Then how sure are you about finding the Quenching Corpse Pill?"

Xiao Cong groaned slightly, shook his head and said:

"I don't know. ”

"Then you ......"

"Boss, don't persuade me, I saved Hongxiang's life!"

Xingliuyun pretended to be displeased, waved his big sleeves, and said dissatisfied:

"Is my Xingliuyun that kind of person? Hongxiang's arrow is to help you block, if it were me, I would definitely go to the soup and fight the fire! It's just that everything is foreseen and if you don't plan it, you will be ruined, and knowing yourself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, I mean, before you go there, you have to make some preparations, I may have something to help you in this regard. ”

Xiao Cong smiled slightly and said:

"Boss, we've known each other for so long, you don't have to beat around the bush so much, don't you just want to know where I'm going? ”

Xingliuyun pursed his lips and said in a soft tone:

"But you are so single-handed, we are really not at ease, or I will let the fat man go with you, he is a person from the Turtle Mansion, and his cultivation is not weak, and he knows a lot, taking him with him is definitely beneficial and harmless." ”

"It's enough for me to do this alone, don't worry, I, Xiao Cong, am a person who has debts to pay

They owe me so much, and I'm going to get it back. He placed a hand on Nebula's shoulder, and his tone was steady.

Seeing Xiao Cong's resolute attitude, Xingliuyun immediately stopped being reluctant, opened his mouth, and said:

"Okay. ”

That night, Xiao Cong stayed in the Xing family's fine stronghold, and in the early morning of the next day, he walked out of the dry well, said goodbye to Xingliuyun, and embarked on a journey to find the Quenching Corpse Pill alone.
