Chapter 105: Here He Comes
In the narrow cave, the pioneer Elder Xue led the purple scorpion to the front, and Ji Que and a few people followed.
Ji Que, who originally thought he would be a pioneer, is now at the back of this.
This cave can only accommodate one person most of the time, so the scenery that Ji Que saw has always been very monotonous, that is, Ning Hongyu's round buttocks.
At first, the cave was relatively dry, but later it became more and more humid, with moss on the walls and a mist of water.
When the mist fills, everything becomes ambiguous, and there is a sense of unreality.
And whenever this time, Ning Hongyu's big ass reminds Ji Que that this world is very real.
The group walked silently, always feeling that they had walked a long distance, until there was a bang, and suddenly there was a little sound of water in front of them.
The mist-filled space opened up a lot.
The four of them stood on the water's edge, only to see that this was a strange rocky waterway, and the water surface was green, always giving people the feeling of hiding a behemoth.
To be honest, none of them were willing to go into the water, especially after seeing that weird carp skin.
Although the Yunxue Sect has an inner lake, most of them are cultivating on land, and many of them can even be regarded as landlubbers.
This was the case for Elder Xue and Old Man Luo, who rarely went into the water.
Ji Que's swimming skills are acceptable, and Ning Hongyu has a fish character in his name, and his swimming skills should probably not be bad.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with Xiaozi?"
Ji Que suddenly squatted down and said.
Everyone looked down and saw that Xiao Zi, who was being held by a thin thread, had floated up from the water, and her belly was turned outside.
Obviously, artificial respiration is too late.
As a result, the guide "Xiao Zi" successfully passed away and became the first comrade-in-arms among them to die.
Elder Xue pulled back his hair and said, "I'll go explore the path first." ”
With that, she jumped.
Ji Que observed, well, Elder Xue seems to be using a dog planer.
Her body quickly sank into the faint green water, and after a while, Elder Xue surfaced, holding half a head of green algae on his head and said, "There is only one path below. ”
After that, the four of them entered the water.
The water was quite deep, but as Elder Xue said, there was only one path, and in a narrow place, they even had to swim sideways.
In the dark waters, the stones that sank in the water looked like figures standing or standing, with a kind of horror flavor.
To be honest, being in such waters, people are always prone to terrifying associations.
Goo Dong Dong ......
Suddenly there was an undercurrent surging in the calm waters, like a behemoth flowing in it.
Immediately after, the four of them came to a slightly open water.
This is also supposed to be a water hole, but it is larger, the walls of the cave are covered with moss, and there is an undercurrent constantly gushing down.
Elder Xue didn't know for a moment whether to go upstream or down.
She couldn't even tell how long she had been in the water.
The dark waters can have an impact on people's perception of time and space.
At this time, Ji Que swam to the front, gestured, and motioned for himself to lead the way.
He felt the place familiar at first, until he felt the rhythmic surge of the undercurrent, and suddenly understood where it was.
This is the spring of the inner lake.
Ji Que, who had already been here once, suddenly went downstream with the water as if he was going home.
His guess was probably right, in modern terms, the previous Danfang was actually inclined to Chen Hanshi's laboratory, and Chen Hanshi's real residence, or the place where the biggest secret was hidden, should be the well he didn't go down to before.
Ji Que and the three of them quickly arrived at the corridor in the water, and the big fish in the water, as well as the runic paper pasted on the doors and windows, still attracted their attention.
However, Ji Que did not stop, and went straight through the wall, until he stopped in front of the corpse of the big fish with human eyes.
Several people looked at the terrifying fish corpse in the water, their eyes were complicated, and they were surprised with a little fear.
It was only at this time that Ji Que remembered a detail, that is, how long had the corpse of this big fish existed here?
It stands to reason that this kind of half-cut fish corpse is a complete dead fish, and it will rot if it is left for a long time.
But the carcass of this big fish with human eyes did not show much signs of decay.
After that, Ji Que pointed to the building in the water, and took the lead in getting into the vermilion gate that was soaked in the water but looked new.
Immediately afterward, the group came out of the water.
This time, there was no such thing as a faint call, only gusts of wind.
In the end, Ji Que came to the well that he didn't dare to go down before.
At that time, he felt the horror here, so he resolutely ran away and chose to shake people.
Now he's shaken to three, and he's back here.
Elder Xue just wanted to continue to take the lead, but was stopped by Old Man Luo.
"Sister of the Xue family, let's do it with me."
Old man Luo is the most inconspicuous of the four, because even if he is also a porter, Ji Que is at least young and handsome, but he is already a bad old man.
But he is the highest person here.
In his words, he barely reached the Five Realms Natal Realm.
"It's the same Danshi, it's the same Five Realms, you're still on the righteous side, and with the three of us being such powerful helpers, how can you lose?"
This is what Ji Que said when he discussed with Old Man Luo and Ning Hongyu who was suitable to be a pioneer before, and Old Man Luo looked like he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis.
Ji Que thought he was biased, phew, he was acting in a steady style, but he never thought that at this critical moment, he took the initiative to stand up.
"It's really worthy of being a senior, and it's simply a model in my house." Ji Que couldn't help but praise.
Old man Luo said angrily: "You say it again, then you come." ”
Ji Que didn't mean to be afraid, and said: "Actually, it's not impossible for me to come, if you can put ...... seniors"
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Luo had already jumped down first.
Ji Que is really not afraid of being a pioneer, because he knows that with his luck, even if he goes to the end, there is a high probability that he will bear the brunt.
He's a bad luck terminator, and likewise, a bad luck seducest.
To sum up in Ji Que's words, when he was unlucky, he was like an MT with a mocking face, and no bad thing could resist the temptation to hit him.
The well was less than twenty feet long, and it soon bottomed out.
There was no water at the bottom of the well, only a horizontal passage.
The road is very short, dozens of steps to the end, and after that, the four of them saw a quite shocking scene.
It was an open space, with a few lanterns hanging on the high ceiling of the cave, exuding a cold glow, and the ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and lotus flowers grew between the gaps in the bluestone slabs.
The mist was everywhere, and in the center was a pavilion made of white jade, and near the pavilion was a dark blue ice layer glowing with a cold light.
At first glance, you will have the illusion that you have strayed into a fairyland.
Looking at this scene, the four of them almost had the same feeling, that is, Chen Hanshi really regarded himself as an immortal, so in this gloomy space at the bottom of the lake, he built such a "fairy-like" cave for himself.
If it weren't for the fact that the environment here is too gloomy, if it weren't for the fact that these lotus flowers grow too well and have a sickly bright red, this place can really be called the "Immortal Cave Mansion".
It's a pity that because of these, not only does there not have any fairy here, but it gives people a ghostly feeling.
Walking through this fairy cave, there is a long and narrow corridor leading to the depths.
The corridor is very deep, and there is a wind blowing, and the gusts of yin wind that I felt before should have come from here.
Faintly, there was a whispering voice in the wind, but it was not really heard.
Here, perhaps not far from Chen Hanshi's secret.
They even felt that as long as they walked through this corridor, it was very likely that they would see Chen Hanshi, who they were "thinking about".
Old Man Luo exhaled lightly and walked over, followed by Ji Que and the others.
This corridor was quite high, at least the lamps carried by Elder Xue could not reach the top, and the walls on both sides were seeping with water, and at intervals, a square gap appeared in the stone wall.
At the gap stands a wooden sign.
The wooden plaques were dull, only the size of a palm, and looked like tablets for dead people.
At the beginning, there was nothing on these tablets, some were damaged and decayed, and the mottled surface looked like old faces, and at the back, Ji Que confirmed that this was the tablet.
Tablets for the dead.
"The sixth generation of the ancestor of the Yunxue Sect, the god of solitary xin."
"The sixth generation of the ancestor of the Yunxue Sect, the god of solitary xin."
"The sixth generation of the ancestor of the Yunxue Sect, the god of solitary xin."
......
What does this mean exactly?
Why is it all Lonely?
What does he want so many tablets to do alone, playing mahjong?
Looking at the blood-colored fonts with a crazy meaning on the tablet, Ji Que couldn't help but ask, "Who is Gu Xin?" ”
Elder Xue's face was as pale as frost, and he said, "The previous generation of Sect Master, Chen Hanshi was his personal disciple, and it was he who passed on the position of Sect Master to Chen Hanshi. ”
Old man Luo frowned and said, "Then this Chen Hanshi is quite filial, and he has set up so many tablets for him." ”
And at this time, at the end of this corridor, the font on the last few tablets has changed.
"The Divine Position of the Seventh Sect Master of the Yunxue Sect, Chen Hanshi."
"The Divine Position of the Seventh Sect Master of the Yunxue Sect, Chen Hanshi."
"The Divine Position of the Seventh Sect Master of the Yunxue Sect, Chen Hanshi."
Chen Hanshi is obviously still alive, but he set up a tablet for himself?
How strange is this thing, so that Ji Que's hairs stand on end.
What's even more puzzling is that the three words "Chen Hanshi" on these tablets are unbearable, and they are covered with scratches, as if someone has scraped them raw with their fingernails.
If it weren't for the prompts of the previous seven generations of sect masters, and the fact that they came to find Chen Hanshi, this name would really be difficult to recognize.
Eventually, this eerie corridor came to an end.
They didn't see Chen Hanshi, they only saw a square room embedded in the stone wall in front of them.
From the outside, the room was so rough that there wasn't even a door, except for a window on the right.
Withered wooden windows.
Ji Que leaned towards the window with the glowing thousand-machine sword in his hand.
There was no way, he was supposed to go to the end, but because the brilliance of this thousand machine sword was the thickest and the lighting was the most convenient, he walked and walked to the front.
As he approached the wooden window, he stopped abruptly because he heard a sound.
It was as if the sound of deep water being stirred by a big fish came from the window, and in this dark space, it sounded particularly deep.
Perhaps, the biggest secret about Chen Hanshi is inside?
Thinking of the previous things, he couldn't help but guess, could it be that the other party was a fish pond owner?
It was as if the sound of a big fish swimming was fleeting, and Ji Que looked solemn.
He stood in front of the wooden window, put his hand on the window, and when he inhaled, the wooden window was sucked open a crack.
It was dark inside, and the brilliance of the Thousand Machine Sword seeped through the gaps, and could only reflect the outline of a mold lake.
Inside, instead of a fish pond, there was a room with a large vat of dull colors, like the one in the dyeing room.
Casually, Ji Que completely pushed the window open and sneaked in quietly, like a ghost.
The other three followed, and Ning Hongyu, who came in last, skillfully closed the window without making any sound.
Ji Que raised the Thousand Machine Sword in his hand, and this row of large vats about half a person tall were lined up together, which looked very strange in this dark and silent environment.
With a clear snap, Ji Que lowered his head and found that he had stepped on a puddle of water.
The stagnant water comes out of the tank in front of it.
The room was airtight, but there was a faint wind flowing through it, and some wooden shelves that looked rotten were placed nearby, like ghosts.
Ji Que adjusted his breathing and approached the water tank.
The brilliance of the Thousand Machine Sword reflected the general appearance of the cylinder.
There was nothing unusual about the whole vat, except that the edges of the vat were smeared with cinnabar, as if to indicate that something terrible was inside.
The wooden lid of the cylinder mouth is also unremarkable.
But he easily remembered the graves at the bottom of the lake with carp skins.
He dug through one of them and saw a similar jar.
Ji Que stood there, suddenly a little nervous.
Also nervous were Elder Xue and them.
They had been quietly observing their surroundings, as if they were afraid that something would suddenly come out.
With a squeak, the wooden lid was pried open by the tip of Ning Hongyu's knife and moved to the side.
Around the cylinder, four people held Sen Han's blades and looked at the inside of the cylinder.
Especially Ji Que, who is obviously holding a heavy sword like a ruler, gives people the feeling of holding a big hammer, and is full of oppression.
Inside the tank was dark water, as black as ink, and the brilliance of the Thousand Machine Sword was projected on it, glowing blue.
There was a grunt, and at that moment, the water shook a little, and the four of them breathed at almost the same time.
A human face floated on the water.
None of the four of them moved, but their breathing was a little unsmooth.
Because this face is so terrible, it is covered with gray fish scales, and the fish scales are attached to them like ringworm.
In particular, its demeanor and movements when breathing are almost indistinguishable from those of a fish that has surfaced.
It was very similar to what he had seen in the grave at the bottom of the lake before, but it was a little different.
Because of the things in the grave at the bottom of the lake, he couldn't tell whether it was a person or a fish, and this one was more inclined to people.
Or rather, more like someone who has a weird skin disease.
This terrible face should not be able to see anything, because it has a gray membrane on the surface of its eyes, but it clearly senses the presence of Ji Que and a few people, swimming in the water.
Ji Que didn't make a move, because he hadn't found any intention of the other party to attack yet.
At this moment, a small voice came, like someone whispering ill-intentioned not far away.
Immediately, the voice became a little hurried, as if someone was in a hurry to call for help.
"Help me!"
"Help me!"
"They're all ghosts!"
As soon as these words came out, the four of them couldn't help but look at each other, and they always felt that each other's faces were a little gloomy and terrible in the dim light.
That's the sound of the wind before!
Ji Que couldn't help but think of Bai Lu's statement.
Could it be that the cry for help that Bai Lu heard in the ancestral land at that time was this kind of voice?
A moment later, the terrible face disappeared into the water with a grunt.
And then the strange sound disappeared.
The surroundings are quiet, and this room with a large tank can be seen at a glance, but it gives people a sense of being in the depths of the boundless deep sea.
Ji Que clearly saw that Elder Xue couldn't help but touch his neck.
He knew that it was because the other party mistakenly thought that he had become a fish, and that gills had grown there.
The voice was indeed demagogic.
At that moment, the face suddenly resurfaced.
"She's coming."
At this moment, a voice sounded in the dark room, like some kind of wake-up.
Ji Que reacted quickly, without any hesitation, and extinguished the Thousand Machine Sword in his hand......
And almost at the same time, the four of them also found a vat to cover their figures.
At this moment, a little footsteps came from outside......
