Ying Zheng never expected that Huashan and his party would be assassinated.

What I didn't expect was that at such a critical juncture, I would meet my cousins.

What I didn't expect was that this cousin was affected by him, and his family was in the middle of the road, and he was not satisfied.

He never wanted to owe anything to others, just because he was the king of Qin and the most powerful person in the world.

When Liu An died for him to build the royal tomb, he wanted to hand over the last country to Liu Bang.

When Han Fei died because of the Xi Beast, he wanted to give the descendants of the Han family a chance to get ahead.

When the Queen of Elite agreed to help him build the Great Wall, he wanted to help Elite move over as a whole and married someone else.

Jianwei said that Yingzheng is very similar to it, there is kindness and repayment, and there is grievance and retribution.

So this man and beast are very temperamental.

Now facing Zhao Tuo and learning about the past of the Zhao family, Ying Zheng's heart has some mixed feelings.

They did not go to the Qin State in search of wealth and nobility, nor did they complain about the injustice of fate.

What's more, with Zhao Tuo and Yang Huai alone, they easily destroyed the seven assassins in ambush who were armed with martial arts, which shows that their skills are by no means ordinary, and if they return to the Zhao court as soon as possible, they must be reused.

Therefore, Ying Zheng is both guilty and admired; Both care and cherish talents.

Standing in front of him was the first family member he saw after returning to the Qin State, except for Zhao Gao.

Just as his thoughts were surging, Yang Huai's voice came from the side: "I didn't expect to recognize my relatives in this place, my brother's relatives are my relatives, and my younger brother visits my cousin." ”

"Brother Xian, please get up." Ying Zheng also helped Yang Huai up and patted him on the shoulder.

Qiang said: "It's a good thing to recognize your relatives, but this is not a place to stay for a long time, and you have to find a way to get out." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "Let's continue to walk, and then look for a pass, I will leave the crossbow arrows on my body for you, and then you will resist the enemy as much as possible, if you can't resist, flee first, don't lose your life here." ”

"I'll go on a mission alone, two hours at most, and we'll definitely have rescuers to help."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "Cousin, what about you going by yourself, I'll go with you." ”

Qiang knew that he had good intentions, but how could Yingzheng's secret be known to others, so he dissuaded: "Brother Wang, he has to deal with some extremely secret things, and even the two of us are not good at being present, so let's try to buy him time and wait for him to come back." ”

Zhao Tuo wanted to say something, but saw Yingzheng raise his hand and signaled: "It's decided, let's go." ”

The five of them briefly sorted out their weapons and began to move on.

After walking for a while, I saw a pass in front of me, which was dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"That's it, stay here and do as I say." Ying Zheng pointed to the pass and said, "If you can't resist it, don't force it, if you can break through, go back and move the rescuers to save me again." ”

Qiang, Suolin, and Yang Huai all responded.

Zhao Tuo hesitated for a moment and pleaded: "Cousin, if you go by yourself, I'm still not at ease." ”

"Hehe, then you are underestimating me." Ying Zheng gave him all his crossbow arrows and said, "You will soon see the ability to be a brother." ”

With that, Ying Zheng turned around and ran away and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Qiang and Suo Lin also quickly rushed to the pass, and Yang Huai pulled Zhao Tuo to follow.

Ying Zheng turned around the two mountains, took out the map and looked at it, and felt that it was very close to the fire eye, so he took out the Xuantie snail disk to find the exact location of Tianmu.

It was not so easy to find the guardian beast based on Ji Fa's description, but it was much easier to find Tianmu with the dark iron snail.

I saw that the dark iron snail turned around on the compass a few times, and pointed to the position on the north side to the east.

Ying Zheng put away the compass, put on the black iron snail, and walked in that direction.

Sure enough, I didn't go far and found a boulder behind several giant trees.

The edge of the boulder sank into the earth, as if blocking a hole. And under the entrance of this cave, it should be a cave leading to the dragon vein.

The entrance of the dragon vein cave is blocked by boulders, this is the practice of those guardian beasts, and there must be a secret passage on its side!

Ying Zheng circled around the boulder twice, looked at the surroundings again, and found that there were several similar trees at the foot of the mountain, so he walked over to check.

Sure enough, there was a tree hole in the middle of those big trees, and you couldn't find it if you didn't look closely, the hole was like a hole made by a snake, and it was very dark inside, and you couldn't see the bottom.

Ying Zheng tidied up his clothes, put his bags behind him, and the Xuanyuan sword straddled his waist, head and foot, and went into the cave.

The ground is a thin layer of soil, and below it is very hard rock, but it is fairly flat.

The deeper the cave went, the darker it became, and Ying Zheng didn't light a firearm, so he climbed straight forward.

recalled that back then, Ying Zheng, accompanied by Li Si, went to Lishan to meet Jairus, which was a similar scene, and then met Xi and Candle Jiuyou.

At that time, Ying Zheng's soul flew to the point where he didn't know where to fly.

Fortunately, Li Si has good skills, otherwise the two of them would have to be eaten before they could take out the Xuanyuan Sword.

Now that a similar scene has reappeared, Ying Zheng can't help but sigh in his heart, many years have passed, almost every day has been wonderful, and there are more things to plan and implement in the future.

And there are many things that cannot be replaced by others, such as...... The cave in front of you.

After climbing a few feet away, the space gradually grew larger, and the smell of the air became less unpleasant.

After a few more steps forward, I was already able to squat up, and after a few more steps, I was able to walk normally. The gables on the side let in a little light, and according to the route, it should be the location of the big rock.

Ying Zheng didn't stop, continued to move forward, and walked to the end of the cave, only to find that there was no hole in front of him, but another hole appeared on the ground.

He crouched down, lit the torch, and felt the hole, which was hard and what looked like steps extending downward.

This time he didn't go down with his head, but walked down like a step.

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally put my feet on the flat ground, and in front of me was a winding corridor, and there seemed to be some light at the end.

There were stones all around, and there didn't seem to be any poisonous insects, and as the light grew stronger, Ying Zheng extinguished the torch and continued to walk along the light.

Gradually, the sound of gurgling water was heard, and an underground river that was not too wide appeared in front of me.

There is no way out but the river.

Ying Zheng took out the dark iron snail again, put it on the compass and looked at it, and the direction of the pointer was in the direction of the lower reaches of the underground river.

After walking a short distance, a hole appeared in front of him, and the river flowed into it.

Ying Zheng poked his head in and looked inside.

The entrance to the cave suddenly opened up, and it seemed that there was a semicircular space in front of it.

"This is it." Ying Zheng opened his mouth and smiled.

This environment is the same as Ji Fa described to him, called Hulu Bay, it is a gourd-shaped place, the hole is the gourd mouth, and further on, there will be a larger hole.

Ying Zheng walked quickly to the hole that resembled the waist of a gourd, but suddenly felt something strange.

He paused and listened carefully.

His unusually sharp sense of hearing led him to conclude that there was a wheezing sound behind the mouth of the cave, and it was very similar to Jair's wheezing.

Ying Zheng tidied up his clothes and said respectfully: "Dare to ask the seniors, but here?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a huge figure burst out of the hole, and a bloody mouth rushed towards Yingzheng's front door.

Ying Zheng turned sideways, then jumped backwards hard, and distanced himself from the figure.

"Wait!" He quickly drew the Xuanyuan sword, one for self-defense, and the other for recognition.

Look at the strange beast on the other side, the body is like a tiger, the head is like a lion, the face is like a leopard, the front legs are like phoenix claws, the hind legs are like cow hooves, and the mane on the back hangs obliquely on both sides, like wings.

"Are you...... Poor? Ying Zheng recognized at first glance that what was in front of him was not a sinister person.

The poor were stunned for a moment, took a step back, and gurgled in his throat.

Ying Zheng listened, it was it that said, "Do you recognize me? ”

"Of course I recognize you, you are exactly the same as the drawings in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." Ying Zheng also took a step back.

Na Qi was even more stunned, and said, "You even understand the language of beasts? ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I was fortunate enough to go to Jiuyou and eat basalt fruit, so I can understand the beast language." ”

That Qi Qi looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and had already guessed it in his heart, but still asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ying Zheng arched his hand and said: "I am a new generation of descendants of the Tiancheng lineage, and I have come here to visit the predecessors of the dragon, and I don't know how offensive the predecessors of Qiqi are here." ”

Qi Qi put away his claws and fangs and said, "Liang, you don't dare to lie, I am the attendant of the Foxy, guarding the periphery for it, if you want to see Lord Stranger, then follow me in." ”

It turns out that this poor Qi's duty is the same as Xi's.

"Then there will be Lao Qi's predecessors." Ying Zheng saluted.

Qi Qi turned around and entered the gourd hole.

Ying Zheng put away the Xuanyuan sword and followed.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he reached the bottom of the gourd, and the river poured into the ground, and the temperature of the air rose suddenly.

This is a signal that it is close to the eye of fire, and it also means that this place has entered the area of the dragon vein, guarding the territory of the divine beast.

"In front of this is the Fire Eye, Lord Fox likes to live in high places, come with me." With that, he turned and entered a hole in the side.

Ying Zheng followed in, but saw that the hole was spiraling upward, and the steps spanned a lot, and he barely kept up with the jumping.

After climbing up for a while, he came to a corridor, and Qi Qi relaxed his steps and walked over.

"Mistress Monkey." Qi Qi used the language of beasts, and his voice was not loud.

There was no movement inside.

"Mistress Monkey?" It raised its volume, and finally there was a yawn from inside.

"Have you caught the prey, put it at the door." The voice inside said.

Qi Qi looked at Ying Zheng, and then said a little embarrassed inside: "The prey is all caught, but it seems that it can't be eaten." ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

"Can't eat?" Slightly surprised, the fox asked, "Why can't you eat it?" ”

Qi Qi replied, "He has a sword, and he knows me, so I brought him here, and you should see it for yourself, my lord." ”

There was a deep sound of footsteps in the hole at the other end of the corridor, and immediately, a huge figure appeared in Ying Zheng's field of vision.

I saw that it seemed to be not a tiger, like a lion and not a lion, bigger than the poor strange eyes around it, a big nose, a big mouth, a large body, a curly mane covering from the top of the head to the neck, except for the tail and horns, the rest are similar to the unicorn, so it is also called "hornless unicorn".

Ying Zheng held the Xuanyuan Sword in both hands, lowered his head and said: "I am the new successor of the Tiancheng lineage, and I have come to Huashan to meet the predecessors of Xuanyuan, and this is evidenced by the Xuanyuan Sword." ”

I saw that the fierce man looked directly at Yingzheng, his nose moved, and his mane also swayed.

The Xuanyuan Sword in Ying Zheng's hand trembled slightly, and the golden light flashed from the hilt to the tip of the sword.

"Sure enough, it's Yanhuang's bloodline, and no one has come to see me for a long time after so many years."

"There are many troubles in the world, and I hope that my predecessors will forgive me." Ying Zheng put away the Xuanyuan sword, took it down and carried it himself, "I brought some incense for my seniors." ”

opened his bags, but Ying Zheng was embarrassed and stunned in place.

The incense in that bag had long been soaked into crumbs by the river.

Ying Zheng was busy with the attack on the way, and told it in detail.

"How can it be!" The anger in his eyes burned, "You dare to be so arrogant and spoil my incense." Poor Qi, the deity allows you to open a meat dish and bring back all those assassins to eat! ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

You care about me so much, why do you only have incense in your heart?
