So, Ling Zihuan and the three of them went to the four corners to see if they could find a clue.

They found that there were two portraits of the Grim Reaper at every corner of the Soul Ladder, and they were about the same distance from Yi'er, so there was nothing special.

In this way, they can only start with the portrait of the Grim Reaper and find some clues.

When they compared the portrait in the corner with the one next to it, they found that only one portrait was a little different from the surrounding one.

Ling Zihuan touched it with his hand, only to see the luminous powder flickering, the blood-red skeleton, Bai Sensen's hand bones, and the blood-stained sickle, at first glance, it was no different from other portraits.

He put his hand to his nose and sniffed it, thought for a moment, and then suddenly crouched down and glanced at the stone steps below the portrait.

"Look, there's some black powder here," Ling Zihuan said happily, then dipped his finger in a pinch of powder, took it to his nose and sniffed it, and said lightly, "The luminous powder used in this portrait of the Grim Reaper is also mixed with other substances. ”

"Anything else? is it the powder of the earth?"

"Well, it smells a little pungent, it should be a chemical solution. ”

The fat man smiled, waved his hand and said, "This is your guess, right?"

"It's really my guess! The world is so big that there are no surprises, but I think it's this solution that makes the luminous powder play a delayed role in light absorption. ”

"When the light of the Longyuan Sword shines over, the solution in the luminous powder will block the light, so that the luminous powder does not absorb the light for the time being. Fortunately, this portrait is the last one we have seen after walking around, and by the time we get here, the solution has been gradually dissipated, and the light continues to shine, producing a slight heat that intensifies the activity of the luminous powder. ”

Ruan Qixue said praisefully: "Silly boy, how do you know so much?"

"There are a lot of idle books on Golden Candle Peak, and all the free time after cultivation is spent on them. ”

The fat man smacked his tongue and said, "Let's hurry up and find the exit, right?"

Ling Zihuan's face was calm, and he seemed to be confident, since he could crack the mystery of this Soul Ladder, then the exit must be closely related to the flaws in the mechanism.

Then he walked to the wall opposite the portrait in front of him, and the stone wall here was uneven and had hard stone protrusions like the rest of the place.

Ling Zihuan pressed his face against the stone wall, gently clasped the stone wall with his knuckles, and then took a deep breath and listened to the sound made by the stone wall.

Ruan Qixue and the fat man both watched from the sidelines, did not speak, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, and the light sound from the stone wall reverberated on the soul ladder for a long time, as if it had reached the cold country, distant and unknown.

"This is here!" After speaking, Ling Zihuan pulled out the Longyuan Sword, and with the drive of True Qi, a ray of light flickered, and then it was raised high, giving birth to an awe-inspiring sword light, and slashed at the stone wall in front of him.

Rumble......

There was a roar on the Soul Ladder, and the stone steps under his feet shook slightly, and the empty gaze of the portrait of the Grim Reaper stared at the large dark hole in front of him.

The shattered powder stone of the stone wall was scattered all over the ground!

It turned out that the stone wall on the right side of this stone staircase was empty!

Seeing that the exit was in front of them, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

The fat man was immediately excited, and his previous fear and complaints were swept away, replaced by a smile on his face, and of course he couldn't help but praise Ling Zihuan a few words.

At this moment, although he still didn't understand the principle of this Soul Suspension Ladder mechanism, the result was often more important than the process. He hadn't known Ling Zihuan for a long time, but he still admired him in his heart.

"Let me go first, help you explore the way!" Before Ling Zihuan and Ruan Qixue could react, the fat man hurriedly left this sentence and walked towards the exit with a hippie smile.

"Ah......" When the fat man's body disappeared into Ling Zihuan's eyes, followed by a weakening scream, with incomparable resentment in his tone.

It turned out that after the fat man stepped in, his body suddenly fell into the air, and then he experienced a slide, like a slide.

It's just that this free fall is a little more difficult, and it almost doesn't hurt the fat man's tears. There was a huge pain in his buttocks, and before he could get up, there was another pain in his stomach.

Because the fat man's front foot just came down, Ling Zihuan and Ruan Qixue also fell off the back foot, so they smashed on the fat man's body one after another.

"Damn, it's painful......" the fat man screamed, not only suffering from the pain below, but also from the top.

Because Ling Zihuan's whole body happened to sit on the fat man's fat belly, he didn't mean to get up, so the fat man's tone of voice was full of pain and resentment.

"Ahh It turned out to be you!" Ling Zihuan heard the fat man's words, and immediately stood up, and then carefully pulled the fat man up to accompany him.

"Dizzy, I said big brother, I didn't die in the traps, I almost died under your ass. As he spoke, the fat man said while rubbing his ass and covering his stomach.

Ruan Qixue saw the funny and cute appearance of the fat man, and smiled, her delicate face smiling like a flower.

"Are you okay?" Ling Zihuan was also embarrassed, just when he came down, he happened to be sitting on the fat man, which scared him, and the soft feeling coming from under the ass made him think that he was sitting on some creature.

Later, when I heard that I was sitting on a fat man, I remembered that I had slipped down from behind the fat man, and I was immediately embarrassed.

"Oh, what a miserable life!"

The fat man complained, and then began to look around, and then Ling Zihuan's eyes shrank, because he saw a coffin not far from him.

The tunnel is long, but the width is small, just enough to place a coffin, and everything around the coffin. Torches were embedded in the stone walls of the tunnel, and the dim light of the fire reflected on the faces of the three of them, and three flickering figures appeared on the dry ground.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Ling Zihuan felt that the coffin was in infinite danger from the inside out. And Ruan Qixue only glanced at it, and the hairs on her whole body were firm, so she didn't dare to take another look.

The coffin is a sarcophagus, and the coffin as a whole is actually green, but it is different from bright green, but dark green.

The fat man swallowed his saliva and said slowly, "Are we breaking into someone else's mausoleum?"

"It should be!" Ling Zihuan was stunned and replied hesitantly, "Since this is Jiling City, then the one lying in this coffin should be the city lord of Jiling City!"

The fat man nodded, his eyes still fell on the dark green coffin in front of him, looked at it for a long time, and then snorted and said: "Cut, the perimeter of this coffin is clean, there is no burial at all, at least there should be gold and silver treasures, silver and stone treasures, it is really cold!"

Ruan Qixue smiled and said, "Fatty, that's all you need!"

The corners of Ling Zihuan's mouth moved, he glanced at the fat man, and a wicked smile appeared, "Since there is no outside the coffin, it is very likely to be placed inside the coffin, you might as well open the lid of the coffin and take a look inside." ”

Saying this, without waiting for the fat man to say anything, Ruan Qixue's face sank, and she said indignantly: "We're just stopping by, so don't disturb other people's good dreams!"

"Let's go!" After speaking, Ruan Qixue didn't go back to the other end of the tunnel.

Ling Zihuan followed, and the fat man took one last look at the dark green coffin and followed.

Through this long tunnel, they climbed a stone staircase upwards and saw a closed stone slab. You don't have to think about it to know that through this slate, you can return to the outside world.

......

They appeared on the outskirts of the city of Jireung, on a desolate hill.

Although the sun was shining quietly, the air outside was just as oppressive, and the cool breeze was blowing slowly, stirring the long hair, even cold!

Around them, dead trees rotting like bones, beheaded, hands stretched out to the sky, speechless to complain.

The hemp rope hanging under the branches was blown by the wind heavily, and the soak-drenched corpse swayed slightly. The rope loop tightened the corpse's neck, the facial muscles contracted downward, and the base of the tongue in the throat stretched out desperately, the eye sockets stretched wide, and the round and bulging eyeballs stared blankly at the ground, or deeper.

It's just a corner, and the rest of the place is still like this, a mess, full of dead bodies, and desolate.

"This is war!" Ling Zihuan gritted his teeth, unable to bear to look around again, his face was indifferent, and he looked into the distance.

The hill under their feet is quite high, standing here, you can see the pavilions and pavilions of Jiling City, the streets of flat houses, and the high city walls, the former prosperous country has been restored to tranquility after a cruel war, but the sky above Jiling City is still billowing with gunsmoke and demonic spirit.

Jiling City is surrounded by a dense forest, the strange fog lingering in the forest, drifting into the city, the turbulent atmosphere can not be dissipated for a long time, hazy stagnant in every corner, it is also under the cover of the fog and magic, the entire huge Jiling City seems to have disappeared out of thin air in the eyes of the outside world.

However, no matter how much you cover it up, on this hill, you can vaguely see the streets of the city, full of loneliness and evil.

Ruan Qixue sighed and said, "War is a trampling on life, bleeding the majority but fattening the minority. ”

The fat man witnessed the current situation of Jiling City, and he didn't want to be a prosperous place in the past, but it became so shocking, it was really a time passing.

"After the battle of antiquity more than 2,000 years ago, the Demon Clan's Holy Sect suffered internal and external troubles, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and finally split into several demon clan branches. Until now, the entrenchment of the demon clan forces in the Shenzhou Continent is still relatively scattered. ”

"There are three major demon clan sects, Wanyoutang, Gufeng Island, and Shura Palace, which sect is mad and occupies the entire Jiling City?"

Ruan Qixue said solemnly: "Gu Feng Island is entrenched in the East China Sea, and the Shura Palace is circling the bitter cold land of the Western Wilderness, except for the demon war sixteen years ago, these two demon clan branches have not dared to invade Middle Earth in recent years, only the largest demon clan sect, Wanyoutang!"
