Tie Huan and his companion Eta continued their journey through the mine. There was a track in the middle of the road for minecarts, and the track was so long that Tie Huan couldn't estimate how far it was from that brief map alone. Except for his two companions, he still couldn't feel any qi, and no living life. But he didn't have to deliberately hide his aura, the two Etta companions didn't know such a technique, they were obvious active qi sources, and Xun Zhou would find out sooner or later.

What exactly does Xun Zhou want to do in this mine? Prepare for the next opening? This mine is indeed a good crossing point, and it is secret enough.

In other words, there is no Xunzhou here at all, only a trap.

This should also be a trap. The Golden Needle Society is still an organization associated with countless shady scenes, and although some of them seem to be on the same side as him, the essence of the organization remains the same.

But if you frame him, what benefit will the Golden Needle Society get?

The demons of the Abyss Realm will not distinguish between those who are from the Golden Needle Society and who are the people of the King Kong Temple, and once they cross the boundary in groups, all the people in the mortal realm will be regarded as enemies by them and eliminated one by one. There is no doubt that the world will be destroyed by then.

Tie Hwan began to laugh at his suspicions. Thinking about it, he felt a little relaxed. Darkness always has a mysterious power that sways people.

With a flick of his hand, he lit the fire. The surroundings lit up instantly, and for a while he couldn't open his eyes, he could only close his eyes and feel the sudden stimulation.

"Oh, how I envy Reese. No matter how the light and darkness changed, his eyes could adapt. Golini was wearing a gray linen robe with a hood over his head and covering his eyes. "But it's a good thing to look at it, I thought I was blind after so long of smearing. ”

"It's better for you not to see what's in the dark. Reese, who was also dressed up, said coldly. He seemed to be scaring Golini.

"Indeed, I would feel better if I didn't see your handsome face. "A lot of girls ignore the fact that I'm the most handsome person in the Jungle Society and the Lost Forest. ”

After a while, Tie Huan felt a little more used to it, and then slowly opened his eyes. He could still only squint and look around, and in the light he could see that the air was full of dust, and the mine had been untouched for a long time, and at least four people had come in that day.

The walls are rocky on all sides, and a track obscured by gravel and mud stretches ahead, so you can't see what ends the road, and the fire folds are limited in what it can illuminate. Under the guidance of the light, they quickened their pace, and after about a stone's throw away, he saw a wall in front of him blocking the way.

This should be the fork in the road on the map. This fork is divided into two parts, the one on the left is marked with a "×", and the road on the right is relatively long, extending to a relatively large space.

Looks like the person they're looking for is in that space. He extinguished the fire and followed Reese's footsteps, touching the rock wall on the right side and turning into the fork in the road on the right. If the scribbled map is to be believed, the mine is quite large. How much manpower and material resources did the Fertile Chamber of Commerce spend digging such a mine in the first place? They dug one mine after another in Gaoqiu Town, and they don't know how many laborers fell in it.

There is no shortage of death in the mines.

He wondered why he had so many distractions, it was not normal. Was it because of the darkness? The darkness deprived him of the power he used to maintain his inner peace?Or was it because of the fear of the unknown? It was quite difficult to accept the fact that a great elder of the temple had turned into an opener, and he couldn't understand what Xun Zhou had betrayed the dragon god, and he couldn't imagine what kind of power Xun Zhou had gained.

A hundred feet, two hundred feet, he continued to feel his surroundings, still finding nothing. After less than two arrows away, Reece began to turn and the rock wall swerved.

Arrived, he thought.

He smelled a peculiar smell in the air, very thin and not obvious, like some kind of spice, and that smell was not supposed to be here. The only thing here is the stone is the plaster. He had never heard of any stone that could smell it.

The presence of any air source is still not perceived. But he believed this was his destination. His actions tonight will have a result here.

What can Xun Zhou do in such darkness. Is he really here?

Reese's sudden opening answered his confusion: "Here we are, here is the Opener." ”

Then, Tie Huan sensed a slight air current. Not the two Etta companions, the source was dozens of feet in front of him.

A bright light suddenly lit up somewhere in the dark space, and the light of the moment once again caused Tie Huan to fall into a brief blindness.

Something is flowing in the air. The torches on the rock wall lit up one after another, and Tie Huan could feel that the entire space had been illuminated by the firelight. The smell was stronger, and it occurred to him that it might be some kind of fuel for the fire.

Of course, Xun Zhou had already discovered them. But the expected attack did not come, and Xun Zhou seemed to be waiting for them to adapt to the environment. He opened his eyes slightly, the light still irritating him to see nothing. After another moment, he opened his eyes again, and this time he finally saw clearly.

The Grand Elder of the Iron Fist Temple, dressed in a white linen collared monk's robe, was sitting on the ground not far in front of him, looking at them with a smile on his face. Xun Zhou had a blanket under him, and a strange polyhedron was placed beside him, the material looked like crystal, crystal clear, and beautiful. The surrounding light hits the polyhedron, emitting a dazzling light, as if there are countless light sources dancing inside.

Tie Huan didn't want to look at the polyhedron more, it seemed to have some kind of magical power, and when he looked at it, he felt that something was being sucked into it little by little. It's a terrible feeling. He noticed that his companions were all like this, and their eyes were averted to the polyhedron.

Xun Zhou's old but powerful voice came: "Elder Tie, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Such a meeting could not have come at a better time. ”

Tie Huan maintained his full concentration, and they were in a very dangerous situation. The Golden Needle Society really deceived them, and it was a trap.

"Damn!" Gollini cursed. He was too gullible to trust the golden mouse. But so do I. Tie Huan thought sadly.

"Look, you've got a helper with you. Maybe you're going to do it all and knock me out here. Xun Zhou looked at them, "An elf, a Kamon." Elf, have you joined the Jungle Society?"

The Golden Mouse told him everything. When the sinister and cunning little man appeared in the carriage, I should have known that it was another ruse. Xun Zhou dared to face the three of them, how confident he was in the power he had.

"If you don't join, you won't be let go. Reese pushed his hood back of his head, his long jet-black hair windless and automatic.

"Is the Jungle Society bothering you, old monk?" Gollini stepped forward and stood side by side with Reese.

Xun Zhou's cold gaze stared at him, as sharp as a blade, "Being nosy will cost you your lives." When you die, you should ask your God why she didn't teach you how to live to be seventy. ”

"Yes? I've had the answer to that question for a long time, and Reese is eighty-six years old. Gollini patted the dust off his body, "And he will live another eighty-six years." You're seventy-two years old, and I'm afraid you won't live that long. ”

Xun Zhou laughed, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke. "Nosy people are always self-righteous, you don't understand what power is, and think that magic can save you. No, it's quite the opposite. Those tricks will make your death faster and more painful. ”

"Old monk, do you like to defeat each other with your mouth?" Gollini was not afraid, and mocked loudly, "It's a pity that even if you serve me with your mouth, I don't like it, you are too old, and too ugly, and most importantly, you are a man." ”

He should know what kind of power the Opener has, he is trying to provoke Xun Zhou. He was going to wait until the other party was furious and made a mistake. In this way, we may have a chance to fight with the strength of the three of us, Tie Huan thought. "What made you betray my god and betray your faith?"

"Betrayal is not the right word, to be precise, awakening. I came to my senses. At this point, I don't need to hide anything from you. I know there's a lot you don't understand. This is also normal, and it is impossible for a person like you who has not yet been enlightened to understand the true meaning of the universe. You are superficially busy with your false beliefs, and all your life is doing meaningless things. What an empty and useless life this is!" Xun Zhou's face was full of sympathy when he said these words, like an all-powerful prophet enlightening an ignorant fool.

Tie Huan didn't say anything, waiting for Xun Zhou to continue. Gollini didn't even interject. This arrogant old monk is self-righteously playing a role that no one else can understand.

"Tie Huan, tell me honestly, what do you think your faith is?" Xun Zhou's eyes were like an awl, about to pierce the surface of his faith shell.

"Faith is life. Our gods guide all living beings on the earth and keep the path of peace together. Following the teachings of my God and fulfilling His expectations is what my life is all about. Tie Huan lifted his hood and looked into eye contact with Xun Zhou. He felt a sense of peace of mind as he expressed this. This is due to the absolute devotion to the faith over the years.

"I thought so many years ago. Ignorant like you, planning to spend your life serving the Worship of the Dragons for an impossible goal. Xun Zhou sighed heavily, "When you see the demon, do you still think like that? Do you think that your so-called peace and tranquility can be guaranteed by you and your sect?"

"That demon died under the fists of the Dragon Worship Sect. Tie Huan calmly stated this fact.

"Of course, in terms of results. You are led by the results of such mistakes. However, you understand how big the gap is between you and the creatures of the Abyssal Realm. When those creatures appear more in the mortal realm, your faith is a thin piece of paper, as fragile as your life. ”

"Not long ago you were talking about how to change the Worship of the Dragons, and now you are mocking my faith. ”

"Because the plan has changed. Originally, I was waiting for chaos within the Worship Dragon Cult, but now there is no need. Because I now have a more direct way to achieve my goal, and the Worship of the Dragons is now chaotic enough, my goal has been achieved, there is no need to wait. Xun Zhou touched the ever-changing polyhedron beside him, revealing a satisfied expression.

"Your words and actions are all betrayal. My gods have seen it all. He had never understood the old monk, and everything he had seen before was a delusion.

"I don't care in the slightest. Xun Zhou laughed arrogantly, his laughter showing how much he despised the god of the earth, which made Tie Huan feel incredulous. The old man had become a different man through and through. "I'll tell you, fool. What faith is, and what are you living for? ”

Xun Zhou grasped the polyhedron in his left hand and touched its surface with his right hand, like a miser caressing his treasure. "Fool, faith is power. To live is to gain power. Do you know how small and weak you are in my eyes? I sympathize with you, because I see in you a shadow of my past. I came to my senses, and you didn't. ”

"You're a madman. Gollini commented.

"Fool, I have said that it is impossible for you, and you, to understand the true meaning of the universe. You see, even if I wanted to enlighten, you refused to accept it. You will only go further and further down the wrong path, and eventually become worthless in endless mistakes, like the dust everywhere in this mine. It doesn't even make sense to kill you. Speaking of this, Xun Zhou let out a long laugh, and he continued to mockingly: "But that doesn't mean I won't kill you. You need to understand that the weak should not exist in the mortal realm. They waste the resources of the mortal realm day in and day out, and when the crisis comes, they don't do anything. ”

"The weak need to be guided, not destroyed, and everyone has the right to live. It's you, you're helping the Abyss Realm demons come to the mortal realm, you're creating a crisis!"

"Do you think that the demons of the Abyss need to rely on me to enter the mortal realm? they can accelerate the change of the mortal realm, will cleanse the useless mortal creatures, and will help the generation of new beliefs. They will make the mortal realm understand that only the strong are worthy of survival and can survive. Xun Zhou stroked his silver beard, "I sympathize with your ignorance. How can the mortal realm become better? The gods are arrogant, and the mortal realm will one day be ruined by their messy beliefs. What I want to do is to unify my faith, and strength is the foundation of my foothold. ”

"You're just a poor man who is delirious and delirious in pursuit of power, and you really make people feel sympathetic. Tie Huan retorted.

"You are so weak that even words are powerless. The power I have seen and have is more than you can imagine. Do you know what the Dragon Kingdom has come to this day? Before I kill you, I'll make you understand a little bit about things. After all, you are a little bit like me before, and I hope that your death will make me feel even the slightest bit of value. ”

Xun Zhou still sat still, but a powerful qi suddenly erupted from his body, and Tie Huan instantly felt this overwhelming power. It's like swimming in a neck lake, where the tide comes, and the unstoppable energy forces everyone to run away. Xun Zhou's strength is indeed something that he can't compare with and can't fight against.
