Chapter 364: Re-enter the secret room
Xiao Cong carried Hongxiang on his back, Yin Nuo followed, the three of them walked through the bustling street market, and returned to the old court in the south of the city, the current situation for them can be regarded as a rumor and embattled, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any murderous ambush in those crowded public places, although I also know that the things in the hunting city may not be very clean, but now there is nothing to do, anyway, I have eaten a lot in my stomach when I was in North Street, so I caught a few wild animals along the way and brought them back to the old court, in order to celebrate Hongxiang's successful escape, Xiao Cong plans to show his hand, but I don't know if after many years, the first-hand cooking skills in Tiandao Xuanxuan are unfamiliarγ
There are also some condiments prepared by Hongxiang before entering the Rin Plain, using stones to build a stove, and Yin Nuo will handle all the ingredients, there are no pots and pans, so replace them with the mysterious utensils that can hold things in the Mi Ring, in order to increase the flavor, Xiao Cong also did not hesitate to add a few precious herbs to it, this meal is made, let's not talk about whether it is delicious or not, at least the force has been placed there.
Xiao Cong personally cooked, and the whole set was smooth, and in less than half an hour, four dishes and one soup had been placed on the table, with all the color, flavor, and taste, which made people move their fingers.
He was the last to sit down and allowed to pick up the chopsticks, Hongxiang took the lead, and at that speed, there was no serious illness.
Yin Nuo took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully, then raised his head in surprise and asked:
"Where did Young Master Zhang learn this craft, I really haven't eaten such a delicious thing. β
Xiao Cong smiled humbly,
"I learned it casually in order to serve the master. β
Hongxiang's eating appearance is still unbearable to look at, chewing and complaining while whining,
"Your skills are so good, when I was in the near sun desert, you always asked me to cook, and I stayed with you for so long, I was reluctant to show my hand, where is the trust between people!"
Xiao Cong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and rewarded Hongxiang mercilessly.
"You can't eat anything!"
......
During this period, Xiao Cong went to the Lefan pulpit twice alone, and guarded the small courtyard of the Ludao people three times, but each time it was just a few words, both of them were silent about the grievances between the Lefan pulpit and the mysterious force, Xiao Cong had a heart, but he did not succeed once.
Seven days have passed, and the door to the underground chamber of the old court will store enough moonlight power tonight to be opened again, which is the only thing the three of them can still do as a pastime so far, so they are still looking forward to it.
But what a sad thing this is, thinking about him Xiao Cong, since he left the Xiao family, when has he been so passive and aggrieved.
Just after that night, Hongxiang danced on the edge of the west wall again, the west wall was still opened after a while like the last time, and the three of them walked like this, although they knew that this time they might have to stay inside for a long time, but they did not arrange for people to take the wind outside, and few people came to the old Taoist court in the south of the city, Xiao Cong had already discovered this matter, and had already asked the Shoulu Daoist, and the Shoulu Taoist told him that because the belief that once existed here was too different, so that there seemed to be a mysterious influence in this place, so ordinary living beings would not come to this place, Xiao Cong and Hongxiang had ancient scriptures, although Yin Nuo had not been to the Yang Desert, but it has been more than a hundred times since he heard Hongxiang recite the scriptures, so the three of them are almost ignorant of the influence of this underworld.
This time Xiao Cong looked more carefully, he walked back and forth several times in the secret room that was almost exactly the same as the layout of the scripture hall, and felt that there was nothing wrong, but there was always something wrong in the feeling, as for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
"Hongxiang, sit there and try to recite the scriptures like a reciter in the United States. He pointed to the center of Pu Felt and said to Hongxiang.
Hongxiang nodded, walked to the center of Pu Felt and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, Yin Nuo and Xiao Cong stood quietly, silent, but their expressions were nervous, staring at Hongxiang for a moment.
Because the reciters in the United States recite the scriptures silently, so Hongxiang also recites silently, not for a moment,
"Young Master Zhang, did you hear that?" Yin Nuo said in surprise.
"What did you hear?" Xiao Cong frowned.
"Didn't you hear the chanting?"
Xiao Cong shook his head,
"No, what kind of chanting sound, is it Hongxiang's?"
"No!" Yin Nuo's tone was firm, "It's another person!"
Xiao Cong's brows furrowed even deeper, he looked up at the dome, his gaze moved down, sweeping around, but he still didn't find anything unusual, he couldn't figure it out,
"What's going on......"
Hongxiang was still sitting there quietly, seemingly unaware of this, Xiao Cong pondered for a long time, and muttered to himself:
"Maybe it's because my attainments in the ancient scriptures are higher than his, so his chanting voice can't affect me at all, and Yin Nuo's realm is lower than his, so he can affect Yin Nuo, no, that's not the point, the point is, this voice is not Hongxiang's, so who is he......?
The time of a stick of incense passed, and Hongxiang opened his eyes and stood up.
"How's it going, have you found anything?" Xiao Cong asked.
Hongxiang nodded,
"There must be something in here, I woke up just now. β
"Where?" Yin Nuo was shocked when he heard this, and reflexively pulled out the snowy demon knife.
Hongxiang looked speechless for a while, and there was a bit of seriousness in his tone, hating iron and not steel.
"I said can you take your brains with you when you do things, if there is really any danger, can my brother and I be so calm?"
"Oh, too. Yin Nuo nodded and slowly inserted the demon knife back into the scabbard.
"Do you know what he is and where he is?" Xiao Cong asked, his face unfazed.
Hongxiang's gaze moved down and pointed to the floor,
"It should be here. β
"What!" Yin Nuo's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"I'm going to die, why are you always startled!" Hongxiang's small universe exploded in time.
Yin Nuo smiled,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, blame me for not seeing the world, you dissipate your anger, leave this matter to me, and I'll dig him out. β
As he spoke, he raised his knife forward, and Hongxiang screamed angrily,
"Stop!"
Yin Nuo shuddered and froze in place.
Hongxiang had no love and slapped his hand to the door of his head,
"In the end, it's been a lifetime of blood mold, so I have to take you idiot with me!"
Xiao Cong laughed a few times,
"He's so excited, don't you mind. β
"What's so exciting!Ah, what's so exciting!"
"If he can unlock the secrets here, maybe he will be able to return to the outside world, that's what you think, Yin Nuo. β
Yin Nuo lowered his head embarrassedly,
"You can see that......"
Xiao Cong smiled slightly,
"Hongxiang, you say, what should I do about this?"
"Brother, I'm afraid this thing is very difficult to do. β
"Why?"
Hongxiang scratched his head,
"I don't know very well, I tried to communicate with him, but he ignored me, I guess, this guy may only have spirit, but not intelligence, so ......"
Xiao Cong stroked the bridge of his nose with his right hand, frowning,
"That's really hard......"
"Although we can't find him, we can use other things here to think about it, Young Master Zhang, you are well-informed and rich, you should always be able to think of something." Yin Nuo said with interest on the side.
Xiao Cong smiled and nodded,
"You can try. β
After a pause, he continued,
"First of all, this secret room is arranged in the shape of a scripture hall, which we haven't found a reason yet, but what is certain is that the person who arranged this secret room must have been to the near sun desert. β
"Secondly, Hongxiang said that there is a spirit that resonates with the ancient scriptures, but there is no wisdom, Yin Nuo said that he heard a chanting sound different from Hongxiang's voice just now, which is worth speculating, even I can't recite the ancient scriptures, how did this person copy it here, unless he is the same person as Hongxiang, or maybe there are other possibilities......"
"In the end, the old Taoist priest cares so much about this secret room, which shows that it is indeed unusual, but we have no way of knowing where it is ordinary, so we still have to start with the scripture hall itself. β
"Young Master Zhang, I have an idea. Yin Nuo said, cautiously.
"You say. β
"Why don't you sit there and try to run the ancient scriptures. β
Xiao Cong smiled bitterly a few times,
"How does it work?"
"It's okay if it doesn't work, you just have to try to ...... Forehead...... How to say it......" Yin Nuo scratched his ears and cheeks, and couldn't think of any words to describe what he was thinking in his heart for a while.
What he meant was that my brother just had to feel the feeling that the ancient scriptures gave you at that time. Hongxiang said coldly on the side.
"Yes, that's what it means!" Yin Nuo looked excited, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Hongxiang, but Hongxiang was not interested in this, and rolled his eyes and threw a sigh "It's so stupid!"
"Okay, I'll try. β
Xiao Cong said, began to walk towards the center of the felt, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and thought about his heart, and began to reminisce about the feeling of the mysterious ancient scriptures.
After a while, Yin Nuo said excitedly:
"Again! Again! The chanting sounded again, and it was still the same voice!"
Hongxiang's eyes slanted at Yin Nuo, who was as happy as a child,
"How many times?"
Yin Nuo quickly quieted down, but still smiled,
"Human nature, isn't this unbearable!"
Xiao Cong opened his eyes, not knowing if he was woken up by Yin Nuo, he smiled slightly, and said, "It is indeed something." Then he stood up, and he returned to the two of them, with a little self-deprecation in his tone,
"There is one more clue, it seems that as long as the creatures who have entered the American scripture hall can resonate with that thing, so as to think of the chanting sound in this scripture hall, but this doesn't seem to be useful, but speaking of which, it is almost impossible to copy the ancient scriptures to any utensils, I have also seen this secret room before, and it has nothing to do with the formation. β
"Young Master Zhang, it doesn't matter, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, the mountains and rivers will be doubtful, and the willows and flowers will be bright and another village, let's think about it again, we will always come up with something." Yin Nuo said.
Xiao Cong smiled,
"Can these two sentences be used together?"
Yin Nuo didn't care,
"Just do it. β
Hongxiang frowned, his eyes seemed so deep for the first time, he knew at a glance that he was thinking about something very profound, this guy was usually very smart, seven days ago he saw the clues behind the matter from the incident of the broken fox Langpo, and he had never seen him like this.
Xiao Cong smiled heartily, knowing the meaning behind Hongxiang's posture, so he didn't speak, looking forward to what kind of surprise his little apprentice and little brother would give him this time.
Finally, Hongxiang exclaimed,
"I see!"
"What do you know?" Xiao Cong pursed his lips and chuckled, his tone full of happiness.
"Brother, we've been ignoring a problem, don't you think?"
"What's the problem?"
"Who said that the one person who entered the United States that time!"
A word woke up the dreamer, Hongxiang's words, but it really made Xiao Cong feel enlightened, and appreciation overflowed from his crooked eyebrows, and he couldn't help but pat his hand on Hongxiang's shoulder,
"Good boy, you're there!"
Hongxiang grinned and said modestly:
"It's just a blind cat running into a dead mouse. β
Although the words are modest, his face is full of pride, and he does not feel the slightest modesty.
"Then your blind cat is too lucky, are you really blind?" Yin Nuo teased slightly.
"I don't know if I'm blind or not, but it's true that you're stupid!" Hongxiang sneered, not giving in half a step, no matter the tone and demeanor, he was extremely mean.
Yin Nuo's face darkened, and he was defeated again.
"This makes sense, there may be two or more people who have entered the United States, but at least one person has been trapped in this secret room by his companions in a special way, this matter is not difficult, but if this is the case, then the person who built this secret room before is likely to be a cultivator. Xiao Cong said firmly.
"It's a lonely family again?" Hongxiang exclaimed.
Xiao Cong shook his head, his face gloomy,
"Not necessarily, there is not only one Dugu family cultivating in the world, but it is not impossible to do so. β
"Whether it's a lonely family or not, it doesn't seem to have much to do with this matter. Yin Nuo said stupidly on the side.
Hongxiang scratched his head,
"It doesn't seem to matter much, people are already dead anyway. β
"But the cause of death may be a very worthy question, although Ding Bushan destroyed the King Kong Alliance before, it should be very difficult to completely get rid of such a special belief in Hunting City," Xiao Cong took a deep breath, raised his face and looked up obliquely, and said in a deep tone, "I don't know why, I always feel that there is something wrong here." β
"Then the story behind this old court should be clear by now. Yin Nuo said.
Xiao Cong smiled, slightly bitter,
"How can it be so simple, now I just figured out the name of the secret room, and there is no cause and effect at all. β
Yin Nuo's face was meaningless,
"How can it be so complicated, it is that the two cultivators happened to enter the perfect American realm in the near sun desert, came out after listening to the scriptures, and came to the Valley of Forgotten Life, and established their faith in the hunting city, and then I don't know what grudge was destroyed by someone. β
"You're exaggerating how much you said about coincidence. β
"What an exaggeration, aren't you just like them!"
Hongxiang's little face instantly darkened, his small mouth was pursed, and his black and white eyes were as sharp as knives.
Yin Nuo opened his mouth and took a breath, his eyes were cloudy, if he felt something, a fear and horror appeared on his face, and then he lowered his head as if he was a thief - like Xiao Cong and Hongxiang, they all came out of the Yang Desert and then came to the infamous Valley of Forgotten Life, and came to the inaccessible old court in the south of the city by mistake, who dares to say that there is no fatalistic influence here, and the taboos involved, he really has no point in his heart!
In this regard, Xiao Cong just smiled and said calmly:
"No coincidence is not a book, my Xiao Cong's life, will definitely be written into a masterpiece by future generations, to this day, my life history is already strange enough, not bad at this point, but, people will win the day, I don't believe that anything can change the belief in my heart, go to his immortals, go, go up!"
After speaking, he took the lead and walked up the stone stairs.
Hongxiang glanced at Yin Nuo, and said hatefully:
"In the future, you must bring your brains when you speak, don't be blind all day long!"
Yin Nuo knew that he was speechless, and gave himself a big mouth mercilessly after Hongxiang left,
"My!"
Then he took heavy steps and returned to the ground.
