Chapter 601: The Life of a Retired Senior
Xiao grabbed Jiang Bai and pinched a spell, and a ray of light enveloped the two of them, directly penetrating the seal and falling downward.
A violent feeling of weightlessness came, a feeling like falling into an abyss, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ahh
Jiang Bai, who was grabbed by the back collar, let out a cry like a pig.
Xiao let go of his hand a little speechlessly, and let him fall.
The Wings of the Wind spread out behind Jiang Bai, and he tugged at his collar before he felt gasped.
It descended slowly all the way, and it took more than ten minutes all the way down, and finally Jiang Bai felt that he had stepped on the ground.
He looked around, and it was pitch black, except for a few glowing hedrons in a few corners.
However, the light of these hedrons was limited, and they could only illuminate a small area where they were, and the entire cavern was still unusually dark.
"Xiao, can you see it?"
Xiao's voice came from the side, "I can see a little." ”
Although he is an immortal, he does not have the ability to see through the darkness.
It's just that it can sense the objects around it, and it won't be unable to see the road.
"Go see that glowing crystal."
Xiao could feel that the glowing crystal was not ordinary, and there seemed to be some pure energy in it.
Jiang Bai took out a stone that was usually used as a lamp, and as soon as a light source appeared, the surroundings suddenly brightened a lot.
He walked over to the location of the glowing stone in the cave and picked up the hedron that had been placed on the shelf.
This spar is blue in color, warm to the touch, and has an inexplicable energy.
The material made him feel a bit like a fragment of the Frost Spike.
"What kind of stone is this?" Jiang Bai looked at Xiao.
"I don't know."
"You don't even know?"
"I haven't been to the bottom of the Abyss many times, and I don't know more than you do."
"Okay...... Then I'll take it with me, it's very well lit. ”
Compared to the glowing stone in his hand, this hedron was much brighter, and the light traveled farther.
"How do we go now? Where to? Jiang Bai looked at Xiao again.
He didn't know anything about the depths of the abyss, and his vision was obstructed in the pitch-black underworld.
He made a point of inquiring before leaving, but no one had a map of the Chasm.
Even the map of the General Affairs Department is only a small part of the distance traveled by the absentees for mining and transportation.
It is said that the vast expanse beneath the Chasm is that only a fraction of the mining sites currently have been mined.
This small subset of maps is useful, but not very useful.
Xiao had come underground to find the footprints of the nameless Yaksha, if the Yaksha had been active in the mines, he would have been discovered a long time ago, and since there was only a little news circulating, the place where the Yaksha appeared was in the depths.
"Follow me." Xiao went straight in one direction, where there was a path that led to the depths.
Xiao once came to this underground, when the Zeng Yan Great Abyss had not yet been sealed, and there were workers working and mining in full swing.
At that time, there were countless lighting tools that illuminated the underground world. With the closure of the place, the miners were dismissed, and the lights that were used for lighting in the past lost their light.
If it weren't for some plants that can emit light, and some naturally glowing hedrons, this place would be a place of complete darkness.
Jiang Bai followed Xiao and looked around.
Judging by the traces left here, the miners left rather hastily.
Some of the excavated ore was piled up in the minecart, and the manuscript was thrown aside haphazardly, apparently not having time to be processed.
The entire underground was extremely silent, except for the footsteps of the two men walking.
Jiang Bai quickened his pace and chatted with Xiao as he pulled him.
It's so quiet here, it's still a bit loud and lively.
"I've heard that the Chasm is closed, probably because of a strange black mud inside.
"These black lumps poured out in large quantities, blocking the mine and passages, and these black muds are difficult to remove, harmful to people's bodies, and even endanger the lives of miners, so Seven Stars temporarily blocked this place......
"Bad for people?" Xiao stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll send you back. I'm an immortal, and those black mud can't affect me, but you're different. ”
Xiao has always been reluctant to let Jiang Bai come underground to accompany him to take risks, and now he just gave him a reason to send him back.
Seeing Xiao in a posture of preparing to send him away, Jiang Bai smiled mysteriously.
"That's the other way around. I'm not going to be affected, but you're susceptible. Master has given me a lot of clarification, and I'm ready to give it to you. ”
Xiao glanced up at him, for a long time, and continued to walk forward.
Jiang Bai followed him inch by inch, "I'll tell you, don't you want to get rid of me." The task Master gave me was to protect you......"
"I don't need protection."
"I can't talk too much, I'm very strong right now. Do you know Shogun Inazuma Raiden? I had a tie with her......"
Catch the thoughtless knife and don't die, rounding is equal to a tie.
Very reasonable, no fault.
Xiao looked at him expressionlessly.
This kind of thing is to deceive Paimon.
"You don't believe it? I'm really tied with Raiden Shogun, you can go to Inazuma and ask someone casually! ”
Xiao snorted, not wanting to say more to him.
"Xiao, don't believe it, that guy in the air defeated Raiden Shogun and directly changed Raiden Shogun's beliefs......"
Jiang Bai is like a noisy parrot, chattering endlessly.
Xiao felt tired.
It's like a fly in your ear, you can't get rid of it, and you keep buzzing around yourself.
"You're too noisy."
"Oh, I don't want you to talk more, it's so boring in this underground, you'll be suffocated if you don't speak."
"For me, words are not necessary."
"I said Xiao Shangxian, why are words unnecessary? You're just too bored, life, you have to have some fun, otherwise the days will be boring, right? ”
"Boredom, that's a human emotion."
"yes, what kind of emotions do you usually have nothing to do? Isn't it just boring? ”
Xiao was momentarily asked.
I don't know when he was idle, but he didn't know what to do when he was free.
Is that boring?
"Emperor...... What does Mr. Zhongli usually do? ”
Perhaps you can refer to the emperor's way to make idle time less boring.
Jiang Bai counted with his fingers, "Walking birds, appreciating flowers, listening to books, tasting antiques, tasting food, listening to operas, fishing, playing chess, painting, ......"
Listening to this, Xiao blinked blankly.
How is this different from the emperor he imagined?
"There must be some deep meaning for the emperor to do this......"
Jiang Bai corrected his concept, "It's not right for you to think so. The emperor has finally unloaded the burden of thousands of years, can he relax and rest well? ”
"Walking birds, enjoying flowers and drinking tea...... This is the life of a retired senior......"
