The cave stretched out, and I don't know how long it took to walk, maybe the three of them were so preoccupied that they didn't care how long they walked. I couldn't feel any fluctuations in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi behind me, but of course it wasn't because the Great War within the Mantian Sect had ended.

When Chen Xi saw a flash of light, he stopped at his feet.

It wasn't a hole, it wasn't a door. At the end of the cave, there was a smooth-looking stone wall. The stone walls are inlaid with several gemstones that emit a faint glow. This stone cave is where the people of the Great Mantian Sect live, and after walking through the underground river of the Mantian Sect, Chen Xi no longer feels any surprise and shock at the stone cave of such a length. He didn't know why, but he wasn't surprised that there was no exit from the cave.

Gao Qingshu was stunned for a moment, took out the wooden card and shook it, and found that there was no induction. He searched around to see if there was a place where the zài and the wooden sign were the right size mechanism. Chen Xi looked at the stone wall, and suddenly found some handwriting faintly on the stone wall under the faint light.

"Sir, you haven't been here either?"

Chen Xi asked Gao Qingshu, and he walked to the stone wall to carefully read the words on the stone wall. Gao Qingshu shook his head: "When I was in the Great Mantian Sect, this stone cave was not so deep at all. Obviously, this section of the inside was sealed before, because the people of the Great Mantian Sect evacuated to open the stone cave. But there's no way here, how do those people get out?"

Chen Dingdang is the head of the Discipline Hall, although he looks rough and uninhibited, but in fact, he is very careful, otherwise he would not be able to take charge of the Discipline Hall. He squatted down and looked at it, then was a little surprised: "There were people here, but they went back." The footprints were a little messy after this, and obviously the people who wanted to leave here didn't find a way out after arriving here, and they looked at the footprints and returned the same way, presumably from the Mantian Sect that left somewhere else. ”

Gao Qingshu frowned: "The sect master of the Great Mantian Sect is not in the sect, in fact, it is the senior brother Su and others who have been staying behind. He is a kind-hearted person, and he was in charge of most of the things when I was in the Great Mantian Sect. The sect master of the Great Mantian Sect often doesn't come for a year and a half, so he has a lot of ideas for many things...... Obviously, the senior brother knows some secrets, but he doesn't know them thoroughly. ”

Chen Xi's heart tightened: "In other words, Ding Mei was not taken away by the sect master of the Great Mantian Sect at all?"

Gao Qingshu said: "It shouldn't be, but you don't have to worry. Su and the other are so high that even I feel unfathomable, before Li Lan told sù that you said that Ding Mei was fine, it must be fine. He probably didn't want the brothers who stayed behind to be involved in this war, so he chose to leave. However, after all, he knew only a limited number of secrets, and thought that he could leave here, but when he got here, he found that this path was not possible and retreated. ”

Chen Xi summoned the Aoki Sword, and the light on the Aoki Sword flickered, and the cave suddenly became a lot brighter. He squatted down and took a closer look: "Ding Mei did come here, I remember her footprints." ”

Gao Qingshu really couldn't understand why Chen Xi could even remember such details so clearly.

Chen Xi looked at it for a while and said: "I haven't paid attention to my feet before, but now it seems that Ding Mei's footprints are a little deeper than before, obviously the cultivation has not yet recovered, so the walking is a little heavier." It looks like a total of five people have been here, including three men and two women. ”

Chen Dingdang nodded: "That's right." ”

Gao Qingshu thought for a while and said: "The three men should be Senior Brother Su and others, Eighth Senior Brother Li Fudao, and Eleventh Senior Brother Wang Gandang. Two women, one is Ye Jiaoxi, and the other is Ding Mei. Ye Jiaoxi had also practiced in the Great Mantian Sect, but it was a few years earlier than I entered the Great Mantian Sect. ”

Gao Qingshu could see that Chen Xi wanted to go back to Ding Mei, so he persuaded: "They had already left before the war, and at that time, the enchantment of the Inner Sect had not yet been sealed. ”

Chen Xi knew that even if he went back, he would not find anything. He walked back to the edge of the stone wall, looking closely at the faint handwriting on it.

"We want to break through Li Lanfeng's Divine Wood Array and open the mountain, but we are exhausted here. I thought I could bypass the blockade of the Shenmu Great Array, but before I died, I realized that we couldn't get out at all. The mountain is moving forward, but the mountain is constantly getting bigger, even if we can keep opening the mountain, we will never be able to get out. The Shenmu Great Array is unpredictable and desperate. ”

Chen Xi read it lightly and understood what was going on. I don't know how many years ago, the things in the Endless Abyss obviously broke through the suppression of the Nine Shadows Dungeon, probably because they had spent a lot of True Yuan in the previous battle, and they wanted to open the mountain to avoid the Divine Wood Great Array and travel here, but they found that the mountain was constantly thickening with their progress.

Chen Xi was shocked in his heart, that is to say, the Shenmu Great Array had been opened once. When was that? At that time, even the gods couldn't suppress what came out?

"We also have to live, and we have the right to live. Why can people live under the Bright Future, and we can only live in the endless abyss? It is a hell, a hell that no one wants to stay in. Li Lanfeng tried his best to seal us, and we hated him to the core, and we were in awe. Thinking about it from another perspective, if I change places with him, then I will do my best to seal the endless abyss, and he will try my best to come up with it. ”

"If my people want to be free, they must break out of this shackle. But God has given us far more powerful bodies and combat strength than human beings, and he has also given us weaknesses. No matter how strong our body is, it is only an imaginary body after all, and only by finding our own essence and merging into one, can we be truly strong. Are we wrong to be free? Are we wrong to be powerful? Why are we not living in the abyss?"

......

......

These words are a bit chaotic, but the helplessness and grief and indignation in them are so strong. Obviously, this thing that has come here is a very powerful and high-status existence in the Endless Abyss. It came out with the creatures of the Endless Abyss, but in the end it still failed to get out.

Chen Xi and the three of them looked at each other, and no one knew what happened back then.

Chen Xi pondered for a while and then suddenly thought of one thing: "Before Li Lanfeng died, in order to ensure the suppression of the Endless Abyss, he asked his best friend to come over to help, which is now the Great Chu National Teacher. But the national teacher sucked away Li Lanfeng's last cultivation power, and wanted to forcibly take away Shenteng. It may have been at that time that the gods were unstable...... Something from the Endless Abyss rushed out. ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly patted his head: "I forgot, Teng'er is in the black ring." ”

He called out in his heart, and the little girl Teng'er immediately appeared in front of the three of them. She seemed to be a little upset, as if she had been disturbed.

She looked at Chen Xi and pouted, "Don't disturb me next time when I'm changing the doll's clothes, okay, I just thought of how to change that dress more beautifully......"

She walked over and took Chen Xi's left hand and drew something on the back of her hand. Chen Xi felt some pain on the back of his hand, and looked at it and found that the pattern drawn by Teng'er on the back of his hand seemed familiar. For a moment, there was a sudden chill on his back. He remembered that when he was on the first floor of the Nine Shadows Dungeon, he had seen stone statues that were the same as his own, and one of the stone statues had such a pattern on the back of his left hand.

I don't know how Fuji drew it, but the lines are so simple that I can't tell what it is.

"I'm not happy to be bothered by you like this, so I need to change it. In the future, if you want to ask me something or ask me something, this figure can summon a clone of me, and she has the same thoughts and memories as me, so you just talk to her. ”

"Doppelganger?"

Chen Xi was surprised: "Can there still be such exercises?"

Teng'er raised her little chin proudly: "That's not a practice, it's my own special ability." I think that when God was still around, I could divide thirty-six doppelgangers, but it was fun...... Too much to remember, only so much. Now I can only summon one doppelganger, and I'm so weak. ”

Chen Xi couldn't help but ask, "What is God?"

"God is God. ”

Teng'er replied as a matter of course, and she looked at Chen Xi with the eyes of a fool: "God created this world, but then I don't know why God left here." Maybe it was because she felt that people could take care of themselves and didn't need her anymore, so she went somewhere else...... By the way, I didn't tell you, God has a thousand faces, and the dolls I carved were all carved from the image of God, but now I can't think of any other pattern that has not been carved. ”

She lowered her head and rubbed her little nose aggrievedly: "I'm about to become a fool." ”

Chen Xi rubbed her hair, squatted down and said to her, "But you are still the most powerful stupid." ”

Fuji'er glanced at him and said seriously, "If you can't comfort people, don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but smile, pointed to the handwriting on the wall and asked, "Did those things in the Endless Abyss come out once before, and then the Divine Wood Great Array opened?"

Teng'er tilted her head and thought about it carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Mmmmmm, I remember." It seems like a while, when a bad guy in black came and wanted to take me away. I didn't want to, so I fought him, and I was much better than I am now, and I ran away if he couldn't beat me. But when the two of us were fighting, some of the things in the Endless Abyss took the opportunity to escape. Then someone used your Aoki sword to open the Shenmu Great Array, but the person who opened the Great Array later seemed to have died in battle, and then the Aoki Sword flew away on its own...... Big brother, where did you pick up the Aoki sword? ”

Chen Xi almost understood what was going on.

After Li Lanfeng just died, the national teacher wanted to snatch Shenteng and was defeated by Teng'er, and the national teacher was injured and fled. But the creatures in the Endless Abyss took the opportunity to rush out, and then Li Lanfeng's disciples opened the Shenmu Great Array with the Aoki Sword, sealing those things in Qingliang Mountain. As a result, Li Lanfeng's disciple was killed in battle, and Aoki Jian's whereabouts are unknown.

It stands to reason that only 400 years have passed since this incident. There should still be stories circulating, but no one in the Mantian Sect seems to know about it now.

Teng'er beckoned, looking at Chen Xi with a look that you can't come and hug me. Chen Xi hurriedly picked her up and walked to the front of the stone wall, and Teng'er looked at it with a small frown: "I remember, it was the only one." At that time, a lot of messy things were killed from the endless abyss, the little bear who was not cute at all, the little tiger who was not cute at all, the little wolf who was not cute at all, and there was only one person. ”

Fuji'er said: "He seems to be very powerful, that is, he killed the person who opened the Shenmu Great Array. But then he seemed to run out of strength, and was torn apart and eaten by something else in the Endless Abyss......"

She didn't like that kind of memory, and shook her head: "This is the second and last time that the Divine Wood Great Array has been opened...... Shenmu and Phoenix are inseparable from each other, and once they are separated, they will weaken each other. The first time the Great Array opened the Divine Tree, a part of the power of the Divine Tree was lost, and after this time, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to suppress those bad things in the Endless Abyss. ”

Gao Qingshu and Chen Dingdang's faces changed, and they looked back at the Inner Sect at the same time, but they couldn't see anything. Three men, with worry in their eyes.
