Chapter 176: The underground tunnel is in a fog
A few days later, the Battle of Jiling Castle ended!
Xuanqingzong took a group of people, united with the Tiger Roaring Hall and the Ouyang family to surround Jiling City, forming an encirclement attack, and the demons of Wanyoutang resisted stubbornly, but the human race occupied the geographical advantage and the people, after more than two months, the demon clan withdrew from Jiling City, and this prosperous small city finally returned to the hands of the human race.
After the end of the war, Xuanqingzong, Tiger Roaring Hall, and Ouyang Shijia returned to their respective territories after making a simple settlement for the civilians in the city.
After the war, Jiling City, ruins and broken walls, broken bricks and tiles, emptiness, mourning everywhere, for them, the use of manpower, to drive the demon clan out of the city, has been benevolent and righteous, as for the future life of Jiling City have to rely on themselves.
Qiu Qinhan grew up in Xuanqing Sect since he was a child, listened to a lot of benevolent and righteous holy words, and was given a heavy responsibility by his master, Master Qianyue, so he followed the Xuanqing Sect and his team back to the Fuyu Mountains.
Ruan Qixue is different, she is free and casual, unwilling to be restrained, she would rather follow Ling Zihuan to break into the north and travel around, rather than stay in Xianshan all day to cultivate, and more importantly, she likes to be with Ling Zihuan.
It's just that the last time she sneaked out, it was already considered a violation of the door rules, and her master forcibly detained her, and without the permission of the elder, she was not allowed to go down the mountain without permission, and concentrate on cultivating well in Xuanqing Sect.
If you change to someone else, the elders of the Xuanqing Sect will not care about these at all, and if you really don't want to cultivate, you can just go down the mountain, you don't have to be reluctant.
But Ruan Qixue is different!
Because Ruan Qixue has the unique strength of the three Miao tribes in southern Xinjiang!
Four years ago, the three Miao tribes in southern Xinjiang were wiped out by the Wu clan of Cangyanjian, and Ruan Qixue, who was only twelve years old, was rescued by Master Tianyue and brought back to Xuanqing Sect.
Of course, the Sanmiao people are not wiped out, even if Ruan Qixue is removed, there will still be Sanmiao people on the mainland, because southern Xinjiang is only the main entrenchment of the Sanmiao people, the world is vast, and there may still be some remote places where the Sanmiao tribe still exists, or they are mixed in the vast sea of people.
From the ancient times to the current Kaiyuan era, some ancient races have withered and fallen one after another, making the Middle Earth Arowana mixed, good and bad.
For the Xuanqing Sect, Ruan Qixue was their potential strength, that is, her unusual eyes, with strange and strange pupil skills.
It's just that Ruan Qixue's fate has not arrived, and the bloody eye has not been opened for a long time, and the Broken Eye of Illusion, which has been in the initial stage since birth, can only perform all kinds of pupil techniques by opening the bloody eye like Chitong, and then advance to the kaleidoscope blood eye in the later stage, and then to the six reincarnation eyes or the kaleidoscope demon eye, and then master the magical power that is difficult to match in the world.
Leaving Ruan Qixue in Xuanqing Sect also left the Strange Pupil Technique in Xuanqing Sect, which should be an account that Xuanqing Sect had already made four years ago.
However, Ruan Qixue's life was saved by Xuanqing Sect, whether it was out of affection or authority, she still didn't dare to go against the will of her superior.
As for the fat man, after the battle in Jiling City, he hurriedly returned to the Phantom Sound Temple, met with Ling Zihuan, and informed him of the current situation in the city.
Ling Zihuan heard from the fat man that Jiling City had gotten rid of the rule of Wanyoutang, and he was naturally happy in his heart, but when he heard that Jiling City had almost evolved into a ruin after this battle, he was still a little sad in his heart.
He knew in his heart that it was time for him to play at this time!
Not to mention being a new city lord, at least you have to send the old city lord's body to the city, bury it well, and try your best to fulfill the old city lord's instructions to him in his deathbed.
Speaking of which, the corpse of the old city lord has been sealed in the "Qianli Scroll" for more than two months......
So, Ling Zihuan and the fat man hurriedly said goodbye to Zhihong and Zhichen and rushed to Jiling City.
Without the entrenchment of the demon clan in Jiling City, the demonic fog above has disappeared, and Jiling City, which has been hidden for more than half a year, seems to reappear between heaven and earth, but the appearance of the entire small city is no longer what it used to be.
The city wall is broken, mourning is everywhere, and it is miserable!
Scorched earth, stumps, ruins, and air of despair everywhere!
Fortunately, the splendid buildings of the Inner Palace have not been destroyed much, which shows that some of the ministers and soldiers and a few civilians who were imprisoned in the dungeon by the demon clan have escaped the devastation of the war.
So, Ling Zihuan and the fat man went straight to the inner palace to find out the situation inside, if they wanted to restore the appearance of a city, they naturally started from the top.
Xuanqing Sect, Tiger Roaring Hall, and Ouyang Shijia didn't know about the underground passages in this inner palace, plus the death of the demons and demons of Wanyoutang after the fact, and they escaped, they had no way to rescue the ministers and civilians in the dungeon prison, maybe they didn't know about it at all, thinking that Jiling City had really become a ruined wilderness, with no value, and they had returned to their territories.
Fortunately, Ling Zihuan had been to the underground dungeon, and knew that there was such a thing, and even better, the inner court of Jiling City, Shi Zimu, also gave him a map, and all the hidden passages outside the city were marked.
And the reason why Wanyoutang kept the old city lord from killing was probably for this purpose.
After Ling Zihuan and the fat man came to the inner palace, they found that there was silence here, and there were corpses everywhere, bloodstained stump meat sauce, and a strong smell of blood rushed into the nose, which was really unpleasant.
According to the instructions on the map, Ling Zihuan found the Xiangning Hall in the inner palace crookedly, there is a narrow stone road in the southeast of its side hall, which leads straight to a back garden, at the foot of the rockery in the back garden, there is an ancient well, which is covered by weeds, at first glance, it is really difficult to find that there is a well here.
When they came to the ancient well, they found that it was a dry well, there was no water, and according to the instructions on the map, there was a tunnel to the west of the dry well, which was the tunnel leading to the underground dungeon.
You don't have to guess to know that this tunnel is naturally hidden under a dry well. The two of them resolutely jumped down to the bottom of the dry well, only when they fell to the bottom did they find that there was no road crossing at all, and there were smooth stone walls everywhere.
It is also strange to say, standing on the top, this is indeed a dry well, but at the bottom of the well, you know that the underground has been specially treated by people, because how can there be four walls in the well are smooth and dry stone walls, and the stone slabs on this side are clearly placed in it.
"Eh, doesn't the map say that the tunnel is here, why is there no entrance?" the fat man said to Ling Zihuan after looking around.
"Yes, look for it!" As he spoke, Ling Zihuan began to keep banging on the stone wall with his hand, and continued to mutter, "The entrance to the tunnel is here, you can't go wrong." ”
The fat man saw that Ling Zihuan was playing with it again from the last time he started fiddling in the Soul Suspension Ladder mechanism, and he also knocked around, but compared to Ling Zihuan, it looked disorderly and chaotic, and there was no order.
"Yes, it's this wall!" Ling Zihuan was overjoyed in his heart, because he felt that only this stone wall made a different sound when it was beaten.
"This should be a heavy stone door, but there is no focus, how can it be opened?" the fat man touched his chin.
Ling Zihuan was also thinking about this problem, only to see him squat down and touch the bottom of the stone gate, but found an unexpected joy.
"Fatty, come and see, there's a gap under the door!"
"Get out of the way and look at me!" the fat man said happily when he saw the gap under the stone door.
Ling Zihuan saw that the fat man was full of interest, and he didn't bother to fight with him for anything, "Okay, come on!"
So, the fat man rolled up his sleeves, twisted his head, and simply moved his muscles and bones, as if he was ready to fight with someone, and the momentum was violent.
"Alright, hurry up!" Ling Zihuan urged.
The fat man stepped forward, put his hands into the gap under the stone door, and began to lift it up vigorously.
"Ahhh......h
"Ahh......hh
The fat man let out a terrible cry, and must have used all his strength to eat, but the stone gate was still quietly, quietly placed in front of him, not moving at all.
Sure enough, it still doesn't work......
Ling Zihuan sighed helplessly, and pushed the fat man away, but the fat man happened to be concentrating and exerting his strength, and didn't notice anything else.
"His grandmother's, is this door made of iron, so heavy!" said the fat man, gasping for breath, as he complained. In a matter of moments, a lot of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"I'd better do it!"
After speaking, Ling Zihuan walked up and exerted all his strength, only to hear the sound of "smack", and the stone slab was slowly lifted up, lifting up to the height of half a person.
"You go first. ”
After the fat man bent over and passed, Ling Zihuan raised the slate a little higher, first moved his body slowly in, and then let go of his hands, and there was a long sound of "swish", and the slate fell with a bang.
"At first, I thought that there was some mechanism on the stone gate, but I didn't expect it to be that simple, hey!" Ling Zihuan sighed pretendedly, as if he felt that the door just now was not suitable for his taste.
Then he glanced at the fat man again, smiled, and teased with interest: "Look at your fat body, eat less in the future!"
"Cut, just. Eh, I found that your strength is not bad, you lift up such a heavy slate, and you don't snort. ”
"Because, ah, I am a man who refines the sevenfold body!" Ling Zihuan's face suddenly sank, pretending to be solemn, which made the fat man couldn't help but laugh.
After passing through the simple and brutal stone gate, you came to a long, narrow tunnel, flanked by heavy stone walls, and a square stone path stretched straight ahead.
As they walked, they felt the cold around them getting heavier and heavier, and an eerie and terrifying aura gradually swept over their minds.
They found that there was no end to the tunnel!
However, with the last experience of the Soul Ladder, they didn't feel scared, they just felt as if they were trapped again.
After all, this is an underground tunnel, and even if humans have the greatest ability, how long can they dig this underground tunnel? It is impossible to walk for such a long time.
"You are really a crow's mouth, you said it!" The fat man's heart tightened, and he glanced at Ling Zihuan.
Ling Zihuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said indignantly:
"Hey, it's a trap again!"
