Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Sixteen: The Pool of Cold Water (8)

The experience of the five people in the second layer of Qian Chao can be said to be thrilling and dangerous, and what brought them the most trouble was not the strange power caused by the chaos of the spiritual veins, although it also made them unbearable, but after experiencing more times, the five people also got used to it, and it was just a few stumbling steps. The biggest trouble is still the kind of mushrooms called red umbrella covers, the red light they emit is too weak, and the five people have to stare at their feet with wide eyes as if they have lost a money bag while walking forward, which makes Tang Ping complain for a while, but fortunately, Li Jian's eyesight is very good, and he can always find that faint red light at one fork in the road after another, so that the five people can move forward along the right path.

Along the way, Qian Chao found several remains of the Five Spirit disciples back then, and while sighing, Qian Chao and Lu Pingchuan carefully put away the bones of those people, stored them in a special storage bag first, and prepared to bury them after they went out.

The most disturbing and panicked thing in the second layer happened when they were about to enter the entrance of the third layer of the passage, as mentioned earlier, the aura of the second layer was the most chaotic and disorderly, and the changes in the spiritual veins were very frequent, and the five people staggered all the way like a drunk drunkard walking, and when they were about to reach the entrance of the third layer of the passage, Li Jian in front was the first to notice the abnormality, and as soon as he issued a warning, the five people were like being caught in a hurricane and made a mess.

It was like five people suddenly being in a crowded and bustling market, surrounded by black heads, crowded and crowded, and the five of them were squeezed into the crowd and unable to move. In some prosperous places, especially during the New Year's festival, when the crowds are at their highest, the innermost part of the crowd of people who go shopping can be carried forward almost without touching their feet, and this is what the five of them experience now.

But they feel more uncomfortable than being trapped in a crowd.

The figures of the five people froze almost instantly, and each immediately felt the pressure from all directions, the top of the head, the door, the back of the head, the chest, the back, the shoulders, as if countless pairs of big hands pressed on their bodies and then pressed forward at the same time, the feeling was really as if they were bound by a long and invisible rope, they could neither open their legs nor lift their arms, it was a little difficult to twist their necks, and even there was a pressure on their eyelids that made their vision blurred.

Li Jian walked in front of the five people, although it was the first time to have such an experience, but there was a cluster of red umbrella covers on the ground less than three zhang in front of Li Jian glowing with a slight red light, which means that the direction of the five of them was not wrong, there have been a lot of experiences in front of them that were pushed around by the strange force here, although this time it was strong, but Li Jian was not afraid, as long as the direction was right, there was no danger, after all, the people who were entrenched here, whether they were casual cultivators or those who were in the rest of the year, were also Qi refining cultivators, and they could enter the third layer of the cold water pool, That means that what they are going through now will not kill them, so Li Jian's face remains unchanged and there is no panic.

Lu Pingchuan didn't seem to care about this, his body was strong and strong, although he couldn't move, but this messy strange force pressed on his body like an itch, and even he tried to stand on tiptoe, and suddenly he felt a force dragging the soles of his boots to push him up, and at the same time, the force on the top of his head was immediately a little bigger and didn't let him get up, Lu Pingchuan even thought it was very interesting, but some couldn't move his legs, and his legs seemed to be hugged by more than a dozen big men.

Qian Chao was a little uncomfortable, his body was already thin, his strength was not great, and he couldn't use his aura here, so he could only resist with his own strength, compared to Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan, he was the most embarrassed, he only felt that his chest and back were compressed, and the breath he held in his body was about to be squeezed out, and he could only support it there.

The rest of Tang Ping and Yan Xuan didn't know whether they were uncomfortable or scared, their faces flushed, and they endured silently arm in arm.

After the five men froze like this for a moment, the force seemed to become a little weaker, as if the rope tied to their legs had been loosened, and they hurried to take this opportunity to step forward, but after one step, the strange force immediately returned and imprisoned the five of them, as if to punish them for not moving around.

"Hey, it's fun!" Lu Pingchuan in the back screamed out of place.

"Money...... Qian boy," Tang Ping said with difficulty behind him, "Did Chu Yuan say this situation?" ”

"Said," Qian Chao actually didn't want to speak, because as soon as he opened his mouth, he was worried that his chest would be deflated...... It's going to be fine......"

"Over here? How far is it going? Tang Ping asked again.

"It's ...... altogether," Qian Chao said with difficulty...... Three times. ”

Three times.

As soon as Qian Chao finished speaking, the feeling of being tightly imprisoned disappeared at once, and the five of them felt a lightness that they had never felt before on their bodies at the same time.

"Three times?" Tang Ping gasped and confirmed to Qian Chao.

"Yes...... Qian Chao nodded weakly, "It's okay after three times." ”

"Is there only one left?" Lu Pingchuan seemed to have some unfinished meaning.

"Brother Lu, a few more times will really kill you." Yan Xuan said this, and the red tide on his face still did not fade.

The third time it came, and it was more powerful than the first two.

The five of them were frozen in a mass of ice, unable to move.

Li Jian frowned slightly, still taking a forward stride, and her face flushed slightly.

Lu Pingchuan wanted to try to break free when he was at his strongest, but no matter how hard he exerted, he couldn't break out of this invisible shackle, and finally had to give up.

Qian Chao's appearance was the most ugly, his face was swollen and red as if he couldn't breathe, his eyes were wide, and he only felt that his body was squeezed between two mountains that were about to close, even if he wanted to open his mouth to call for help, he couldn't even move his chin.

Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were still holding each other's arms, and their faces were flushed silently bearing the strange force here.

After a while, Li Jian staggered forward a few steps before he stood firm, Lu Pingchuan only shook his body a few times, and Qian Chao, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan almost collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

After a while, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan supported each other to stand up.

"Okay...... Qian Chao reluctantly straightened up under Lu Pingchuan's support, "Three times have passed, and the front is the entrance to the passage to the third floor." ”

Lu Pingchuan suddenly thought of a question, and asked Qian Chaodao excitedly:

"Brother Qian, are we going to go through it again when we go out?"

"That's right......" Thinking of this, Qian Chao nodded weakly, he really didn't want to go through it again.

The front is indeed the passage to the third layer, in front of the cave entrance, the last red umbrella cover is emitting a faint red light, Li Jian's body is also strong, the experience just now is nothing to him, at this time he has paced to the cave entrance and looked inside.

Tang Ping looked at the panting Qian Chao, looked at the hole not far away, and said:

"The next layer is the third layer, which is the place where those scattered cultivators gathered before, everything is safe except for the uncomfortable place here, and I don't know what the situation is in the third layer, if there are still fish that slip through the net, then we have to deal with it carefully, in my opinion, we might as well rest here for a while, and then go down after we have enough mental strength, how about it?"

Several people nodded in agreement, Lu Pingchuan also helped Qian Chao to sit down against the stone wall to rest, and as soon as Qian Chao sat down, he took out a small bottle from his arms and drank it.

Li Jian looked at Qian Chao's face with concern, and then looked at Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, who also had the same red tide on their faces, and asked:

"Senior Brother Qian, do those people who are entrenched here have to go through this every time they enter the cold pool?"

Qian Chao replied:

"There are other passages, but the rest of the passages are still blocked by the formation and cannot be used......"

"Then why don't you open another passage, this road is really tormenting!" Tang Ping said on the side.

Qian Chao smiled and continued:

"It's still Senior Brother Chu Yuan's suggestion to only open this passage, and there are indeed a lot of other passages, and it is convenient to enter the third layer of the cold pool, but those passages have been opened by those people little by little over the years, and the secrecy is still secondary, mainly because every such passage is actually specially prepared for a certain person or a certain group of people, and the biggest role is to escape, once something happens here, for example, the Qi refining disciples of the Five Spirit Sect attack and they want to escape. And in order to avoid being discovered and chasing after the passage, they will also arrange a heavy ambush in their respective passages, which can be said to be full of dangers, even if it is the passage that Senior Brother Chu Yuan used when he escaped from here, and Chu Yuan doesn't know if his whereabouts have been detected after escaping from here, whether the passage is still safe, so I suggest that I only open this initial and most ordinary passage, in fact, even if those who are entrenched here are loose cultivators, or the people who will meet for more than a year. Usually this road is used to enter and exit the cold pool, and other secret passages are used for escape, and they dare not show people on weekdays. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ping nodded.

Yan Xuan said:

"It is said that only Qi refining disciples in this cold water pool are not affected by the chaotic spiritual veins here, but didn't we also suffer a little just now?"

Without waiting for Qian Chao to speak, Tang Ping replied:

"Sister Yan, although it was uncomfortable just now, but now you feel it, we are just a little tired, and we will come over after resting for a while. My sixth grandfather said that the chaotic spiritual veins here can be regarded as a huge magnet, and what it attracts is the spiritual energy on the monk's body. We are Qi refining disciples, our cultivation is not high, and our own aura is not much, we are here, it is equivalent to a small iron nail on the wooden stick, the influence of the magnet is not great, and it can still be wielded, and the monk who builds the foundation or knots is equivalent to a small or large iron rod here, and the impact is much greater than ours, so we can pass here and be affected by it is not much, if the monk who builds the foundation or knots comes here, here, in the situation just now, It is estimated that they will die violently here. ”

Yan Xuan listened and nodded.

After resting for a while, Qian Chao's face basically recovered, and he got up and said:

"Okay, we can't delay too long, I'll see let's continue."

"Okay."
