Qin Bukong and I didn't speak, but slowed down and slowly approached the ground that was clanging. I handed the flashlight to Qin Bukong and asked him to help me shine on the ground, while I squatted down and gently touched my hand to the ground.

With each sound of hitting the stone, there was a vibration in the ground under my palm, and the dust was raised with a clanging sound. Clearly, someone is digging a hole from under our feet. Who is it, is it the ordinary people who are digging deep holes and accumulating grain, or are there other people in the industry who know this secret, so they also come to treasure hunting?

Qin Bukong made a gesture for me to go to his side, so I stood up and leaned over, he covered his mouth with one hand, leaned into my ear and said to me, look at this, the people below are still more than two feet away from digging here. I nodded, and told him by the way that your beard was so uncomfortable at the roots of my ears. I asked Qin Bukong what to do now, do you want to go outside and find out where the hell started digging the hole? Qin Bukong said that there is no need to be so troublesome, since this person can dig so deep, it means that it is impossible to dig here in a short time, it is very likely that we haven't come in much these days, and we happened to be exploited by this loophole.

I asked Qin Bukong, haven't you heard the sound of percussion except tonight? Qin Bukong said yes, but it is also possible that firecrackers have been set off everywhere in recent days, so we didn't notice it. I thought to myself, and it is indeed possible, in that era, everyone had a fixed pattern in their hearts, thinking that the New Year was the happiest day of the year, so the firecrackers that had been stored for a year began to explode at the same time during this time period.

Qin Bukong said, let's be quiet, just wait here for this guy to break through the hole, and then catch him alive directly.

This is indeed a good way, and I believe that as long as we catch people and use Qin Bukong's means to force some information to be asked, it will not be a problem. Let's just save some energy and wait for work.

So we went back to sleep that night with confidence and boldness, but we still left lightly. Qin Bukong said, judging from the sound of tapping, there is only one person at the bottom, since this is the case, it is impossible for this person not to eat or sleep. Qin Bukong and I are both people who have beaten stones, so we guess that it will take three or four days at the earliest before this person breaks through the ground.

During those three or four days, Qin Bukong and I took turns guarding the Bamen Array, until the afternoon of the fourth day, the sound of knocking stones became significantly closer, so Qin Bukong and I stood far away and waited quietly. With the crisp sound of stone shattering, we knew that the other party had gouged through the ground, and a burst of light came from a small hole in the ground. Then the hole grew larger and larger as the people below tapped it, until it was large enough for a person to enter and exit.

My heart was racing, and I hid to the side and watched from afar, only to see a small head emerging from under the hole in the light. The man leaned out of his upper body, holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, and looked around the environment, Qin Bukong and I quickly covered our bodies behind the stones when he turned his head to us.

Then I secretly turned my face sideways to observe, and the man had completely come out of the hole, and the first thing he did when he stood on the ground was to put his hands on his waist, and then cursed and said, "This goddamn stone is really fucking hard."

The voice was a man, and I almost laughed out loud when I heard this, it seemed that he had cut through this hole, and this guy had really put a lot of effort into it, and he was scolding the stone. But from his simple complaint, it was obvious to me that I heard an accent in a Sichuan dialect, but it was somewhat different from my native dialect, but I could basically conclude that this person was Sichuan.

Judging from his movements and tone, he didn't seem to know that before he arrived, Qin Bukong and I had been active in this place for nearly a year and a half. Probably in his own opinion, he was the first person to get here. I dodged carefully, only to see the thin man carrying a kerosene lamp, and began to observe the center of the Eight Gate Formation, and felt a few around the eight round holes in the ground. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the hole he had drilled, Qin Bukong suddenly reached out and patted me on the shoulder, which meant that I understood that he was saying that he could do it now, he was far away from the hole and couldn't escape.

So Qin Bukong and I secretly walked out from behind the stone, and went around behind the man, he was crossing his waist to check the stone pillar in the center of the array, and he didn't notice that there was anyone behind him, so I took a deep breath, a fish jumped, opened his arms and threw himself towards the man, and after he let out a cry of surprise, I was thrown to the ground by me, I hugged his arms horizontally with both hands, and locked the other party's waist with his feet after falling to the ground, he only struggled a few times, I knew, this kid talked about brute force, definitely not my opponent. Sure enough, he soon stopped struggling, but just shouted in horror, who is it! Who's there!

Qin Bukong walked up to him, picked up the kerosene lamp that had fallen on the ground, and then approached him. Because I can only see the back of the other party's head, I can't see what this man looks like, but Qin Bukong's bearded and old face, under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, is more like a pervert who kills people and breaks corpses.

Qin Bukong asked coldly, who are you? How did you find here? What are you doing here? Crossed the line stinky boy, you know? Instead of answering these questions, the other party asked, "Who are you and how did you find this place?" The tone was impatient, and there was a kind of horror. Qin Bukong snorted three times towards Ganmu, who was coiled in the distance, and Ganmu slowly swam in the direction of this man, and after he found a huge snake, he began to struggle desperately, so I also used more force in my hands. When Ganmu swam up to the man, he raised his head high, his mouth long, and the snake hyacinth, and made that rustling sound in his throat, as if it had the same demonstrative feeling when it first met me.

Qin Bukong touched Ganmu's head, as if to make it wait for his next order. The man was threatened by a big snake and a bearded monster at close range, and began to howl loudly like a pig, judging from his performance, this guy seems to have never seen much of the world, and I think it was the first time I saw Ganmu, and I didn't scream like this.

Qin Bukong said coldly again, I will ask you one last time, who are you? If not, I'll let my big darling suck your blood dry! The last sentence is vicious, it seems that if I want to pretend to be a villain and pervert in the future, I have to grow such a big beard first.

The man was so frightened that he stammered, I... My name is Jiang Xuerou...

Before he finished speaking, Qin Bukong slapped the top of the man's head, but he didn't use any force. He said viciously, who cares what your name is, I'm asking you, who are you! What are you doing here! Jiang Xuerou, you said that you are a big man, why do you call such a feminine name.

Jiang Xuerou replied, I'm here to find something, since this senior knows how to control snakes, he must also be a member of my Xuanmen, everyone is on the same path, if there is any misunderstanding, you can say it slowly, I really didn't mean to cross the line, I didn't know that you found this place in advance. Qin Bukong asked, so you are also from the Xuanmen? What do you study?

The man stammered, junior... The younger generation is a learner. So Qin Bukong crossed this person's face and raised his chin at me, and said teasingly, Look at your Daomen, what kind of messy straw bales are there. I was straining my hands and feet, so I couldn't speak loudly, but I couldn't help but return the mouth, so I scolded Qin Bukong, you are a mad dog, right, how can you catch someone and bite whom!

Since Qin Bukong and I have always communicated in our own native dialect, we can be regarded as barrier-free, except for the different tones of individual words, the rest is no problem at all. But as soon as I said this, Jiang Xuerou actually opened his mouth and said, listening to the accent of this senior, it seems that we are from Sichuan! I snorted and said yes, Lao Tzu is from Chongqing!

I also learned Qin Bukong's fierce tone, but I found that I didn't learn it well.

Qin Bukong then asked, you said that you didn't know that you had crossed the line, I believe you, but you tell me now, what are you looking for here? Jiang Xuerou was stunned for a moment, and then said, senior... Isn't that what you're looking for? Qin Bukong raised his hand and made a gesture to pat the top of his head again, Jiang Xuerou dodged with a sigh, but forgot that I locked him. Qin Bukong asked, don't be funny with me, hurry up!

Jiang Xuerou said, I came to find the seal of the Witch King's soul, but I know it's not that easy, because the family teacher said that if you want to find it, you have to pass the Seven Evil Passes first, so I just came to explore the way, so that I can return to the Master's Gate, with my own strength, even you can't resist it, how can I pass the Seven Evil Passes!

Seven Evils? What the hell is that? Isn't it that in these eight gate formations, there is still a seven-evil pass, in case there is a six-six shun and five leaders in the back, then you still have to find a fart soul, just to deal with these, I'm afraid it will take a lifetime. When he turned his head to look at Qin Bukong, he was also stunned, so he asked Jiang Xuejudo, what are the Seven Evil Passes, isn't there only eight gate formations here?

Jiang Xuerou was also stunned, and then asked, what is the Eight Gate Array?

Suddenly there was silence at the scene, and I asked after a long time, the soul of the witch king you are looking for, but it is the same thing as what I am looking for?
