Chapter 31: The Human Heart

Click... Click......

The crystal droplets of water fell, hitting the smooth stone slab, evenly, there was a sound here, but it was very quiet, the sound of heartbeat and the sound of water droplets, stalemate for a full quarter of an hour.

On the top of the stone above the cave, there were three holes the size of pigeon eggs, the light seeped in, sprinkled on the ground, and the two human faces remained motionless, looking at each other for a long time.

"It seems to be gone..."

Xu Yangxin was close to the ground, half of his face was dirty, and he listened cautiously, for fear of being discovered.

Zhong Ting's soul was stronger than him, and he sensed that the people below had left.

His face was also dirty, and when he looked around, it seemed that no one had come here for a long time, and the dirt was dirty, hard, and it was scattered when he touched it, and there was a gurgling sound of water flowing from above.

Previously, the two were caught in the torrent.

In the panic, it was difficult to discern the direction of vision, and it was useless to struggle with it.

Through the conversation below, the two looked at each other, both shocked.

Xu Yangxin has been in the sect for two years, and he knows who Xue Changying and Ling He are, that is the person in charge of Yuding Peak and Tianhuan Peak, and the person in charge of the Immortal Sect.

The two of them were talking, and they were clearly going towards them, towards subverting the immortal gate, who dared to be so bold?

Xu Yangxin was puzzled and shocked.

But Zhong Ting is different, he has a keen mind, and from just a few words, he has roughly guessed the identities of these two people, and in the other party's words, he has already said it very clearly.

Yun family, Hou Ye.

With the last Qu Shaojing incident, he kept the names of several people in mind, and even the voices, engraved them in his mind.

Yun Shoucheng, an old guy who is different from the outside, Zhong Ting's eyes flashed, "Want to do something bad?" ”

Hehe, it's a pity that he was caught, Fang Cai, just a few tens of breaths of conversation, and then thinking about it, I can't help but feel creepy, the six immortal sects with a big family are now facing the crisis of changing the dynasty.

Xu Yangxin was a decent person, obviously realizing the seriousness of the matter, and frowned: "Senior Brother Zhong, the stakes are very high, no matter who that person is, we have to go out quickly and tell the elders of the sect about this incident." ”

Zhong Ting nodded, indeed, even if he had only been in the Immortal Gate for a few days, Jiang Baiyan was always kind to him.

Yun Shoucheng Wu Xing Kexun They are in a group, and now with the addition of Yuan Zheng, they should join forces with the outside, wanting to turn the pattern of Xianmen over and become the force of the Marquis of Kyoto.

If it succeeds, the Xing family will inevitably become more and more powerful, lawless, and Tianqifeng will inevitably not be happy, he has offended Xing Kexun, and he will also suffer at that time.

He got up and took in his surroundings.

The cave was not large, about the size of two rooms, and it was empty, with nothing but a wooden frame in the corner.

The two walked towards the corner, and on the wooden frame, two rolls of bamboo slips, one long and one short, were placed.

Xu Yangxin took the lead in picking up a copy and read it.

Zhong Ting also wanted to see if there was a mechanism or something, after all, it was a little weird to come here inexplicably.

He looked at it, there was no problem, and he also picked up the remaining scroll of bamboo slips, which were just simple text notes, similar to a diary, and there was nothing worth studying.

The only useful piece of information is probably the signature.

He put the bamboo slip back and muttered, "Heaven Slashing Daoist, what a domineering title." ”

This person takes "cutting the sky" as the road name, which shows its rampant degree, it must be a wild and unruly person, the cave here is in the realm of Xianmen, it should be a person from Xianmen.

Xu Yangxin was holding another bamboo slip and was fascinated.

"Yang Xing, what are you looking at?" Zhong Ting asked.

"Oh...... It's nothing. ”

Xu Yangxin came back to his senses, smiled, spread out the bamboo slips, and said: "It's a door exercise, what is it called "Imperial Heart Formula", it's very interesting, let's take a look." ”

Zhong Ting took it and glanced at it twice, it was just an ordinary method of calming the mind, which was not unusual.

"It doesn't seem to have any useful information, so let's find another outlet."

Xu Yangxin nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhong Ting walked to the other end, trying to find something useful again, but what he didn't know was that on the back of his neck, a crescent mark quietly appeared.

Xu Yangxin looked at Zhong Ting's back, obviously found something different, and hesitated, but after all, he didn't speak, and then he took out a bamboo card from his sleeve, with dense words written on it, as the first line: "Swallowing Heaven and Creating the Sutra"

He looked at the bamboo card, and then at Zhong Ting, his expression tangled.

"Yang Xing, come on, there is a passage here."

Zhong Ting half-squatted, and after some exploration, he found that at the bottom of a rock, there was a hidden passage that could allow one person to pass through.

He smiled: "It should be an exit, we can go out." ”

Xu Yangxin patted Zhong Ting on the shoulder and praised: "It has to be Senior Brother Zhong, unlike me, except for being rich, I am useless." ”

Zhong Ting chuckled, the other party is a native of Qinzhou, his father started in business, struggled for half his life, and made a lot of money, the only regret is that he doesn't know how to practice.

So Xu Yangxin came to the Six Immortal Gates and came in through the back door.

"It's good to have money, isn't it comfortable for An An to share a lifetime?"

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the great revenge that had not been avenged, he felt that looking for a mountain, drinking streams, eating smoke and haze, he would not be at ease, and he would have lived like this in his previous life.

Happiness and peace are the best.

Xu Yangxin retorted with a smile, "It's useless to have money, you have to have a hard fist, no matter how rich you are, what's the use of meeting someone like Xing Kexun." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Ting shook his head, "The world is still too chaotic." ”

Xu Yangxin glanced at him and asked, "Where is Senior Brother Zhong's house, and are your uncle and aunt still alive?" ”

As if he felt that his question was abrupt, he smiled: "You have time to take me to your house to play." ”

Zhong Ting smiled: "I'm an orphan, where did I come from, let's go, it's important to go out." ”

The passage only allowed one person at a time, and Xu Yangxin said heartily: "I'll go to explore first, no matter the result, I will definitely come back within a quarter of an hour." ”

Zhong Ting nodded, "Okay, pay attention to safety, and return if there is a situation." ”

He watched Xu Yangxin step into it, his eyes were calm as water, for a long time, he sighed, I hope it wasn't what he thought.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Yangxin still did not return.

Zhong Ting glanced at Fang Cai's wooden frame, and a roll of bamboo slips was gone.

His eyes were calm, and he didn't linger any longer, stepping into the passage.

A smell of rust filled it, the light was very dim, and it was extremely narrow at first, and it took more than a hundred steps before it finally became wider.

A gust of cold wind hit, cold and biting, the sound of the surrounding water gurgling, as if it was a whimper, but other than that, there was no sound, and you could still hear your own heartbeat.

Walking all the way forward, there was a fork in the road, there was mud all over the ground, there were footprints, he compared it, and the time left was very short, it should be Xu Yangxi's.

The footsteps seemed to stop for a moment at the fork in the road, walking back and forth, it should be hesitant to take which road, and in the end, Xu Yangxin chose the wider one on the right.

Zhong Ting did not hesitate, and walked towards the other party's road, and after a while, there was light and fresh air in front of him.

"It should be almost at the exit." He thought.

So he slowed down, but after walking for more than ten steps, Zhong Ting realized that something was wrong, because, there was a faint low beast roar in front of him, he looked at the ground, and I don't know when, Xu Yangxi's footsteps had dissipated.

"There's weirdness."

Zhong Ting's expression flashed, and at this moment, he was even more determined in what he thought.

Xu Yangxi, there is a problem.

When the other party picked up the bamboo slip in the cave, it began to be wrong, because he saw that there was a bamboo plaque hidden in the bamboo slip, which was quietly hidden by the other party.

At that time, he thought that it should be a martial art, but Xu Yangxin hid his selfishness and didn't want him to know, but he didn't care, so he didn't ask.

Until he entered the passage, the other party's abnormal conversation made him suspicious, and now looking at it, Xu Yangxin must have taken another path, and this road is a trap.

Perhaps, from the moment the other party began to contact him, it was premeditated, and it was just a necessary procedure.

Shaking his head, he smiled bitterly, he had mistrusted people again, but this trip was not without gain.

He spread out his hand, and a crystal jade piece appeared in the palm of his hand, emitting light, Zhong Ting's luck entered it, and the jade piece slowly floated, and then entered the center of his eyebrows.

This is the bottom of the cold pool, and what he obtains with his divine sense, that is, the items in the ashlar stone, can be felt, and it is of great benefit to the divine soul.

Everyone has their own chances, Xu Yangxin hasn't been with him for a long time, but Zhong Ting regards him as a friend, and the other party has his own chances, and he won't care.

But if because of this, you have bad intentions for yourself, then there is nothing to say.

He paused to take a deep look ahead, and in the dimness, a low roar was heard, and then a dark shadow slowly crawled out.

Roar......

A wave of air hit, and the passage was suddenly filled with a foul smell.

Zhong Ting stepped back and held his breath, this breath was poisonous, he dispersed the poisonous gas that rarely entered his nostrils, and the sword in his hand appeared.

A sword slashed out, and the figure rushed up fiercely, punching him.

Clang!

The mountain-like force shook him out, and the crisp sound of metal still lingered in his ears, "buzzing" non-stop.

He rolled over, and then he saw the face of the black shadow, it turned out to be a giant ape, staring at him with brass bell-like eyes, black hair standing straight up, and a strong and full body of tendons.

"Human, hand over your things and spare you from dying."

The black ape looked down at him, his eyes widened angrily, Zhong Ting was inexplicable, raised his head, and said, "What is it?" ”

Peng!

The huge soles of his feet stepped out of a big pit, and the black ape snorted and said coldly: "What you stole while I was asleep just now, hand it over." ”

Zhong Ting thought for a while, and suddenly understood that this guy had lost something, but he didn't steal it, and said in his heart: "Is it Xu Yangxi?" ”

Only Xu Yangxin has been here, and there will be no one else.

"Someone else steals from you." He explained that he didn't want to provoke the big guy.

But the black ape didn't care so much, seeing that Zhong Ting didn't follow, he stepped out and suddenly punched in.

Clang!

Zhong Ting swung his sword to resist, and in an instant, one tall and one short, the two figures kept fighting.

The black ape's skin is rough and thick, and his strength is terrifying, and he has no way to block all the sword moves, and occasionally he has to take a punch and be knocked away solidly.

Thanks to his strong physique.

A moment later, an obscure voice came from the dim place ahead, like a hoof cry, and the black ape was furious, punching Zhong Ting away, and then running quickly towards the place where he came.

Zhong Ting watched the other party leave eagerly, there seemed to be something in front of him that the black ape cared about, his expression flashed, and he did not choose to retreat, but chased in the direction of the black ape.
