Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xie Huaigu is a real man!
"The flower demon only gave you tea and wine?" Xie Huaigu asked again.
As a flower demon who has completed the knot, he only gave some tea and wine to passers-by at first sight, which is really unreasonable and stingy.
He suspected that Mu Nan was not telling the truth.
"Brother!" Xie Huaiwei cast a look at his brother, and said at the same time: "Shepherd friends will never hide anything, at this time, we should work together and be less suspicious." ”
"Fellow Shepherd, it's me who is a little smaller, and I invite Haihan." Xie Huaigu apologized.
Xie Huaigu's apology this time seemed a little hasty.
The look that his sister gave him was directly directed at the bottomless pit, and Mu Nan only said a few words when he mentioned the bottomless pit, he didn't know if Mu Nan intended to guard against the two or knew very little, but now it is really not suitable to turn his face and blame.
"It's okay!"
Mu Nan replied succinctly, and then led the way ahead.
Passing through the flowers, the road ahead began to narrow and become overgrown with thorns.
There is also a cliff blocking the way.
"This is a bottomless pit?" Mu Nan looked at the narrow line of sky in front of him, and wondered in his heart.
"I don't call a ray of heaven a bottomless pit, presumably the bottomless pit is still ahead." Xie Huaiwei sighed and said.
Mu Nan nodded and stepped in first.
At the beginning, it is very narrow to understand people.
The entire first-line heaven and earth is downward, and after walking dozens of steps, there is a bottomless feeling. After groping for a stick of incense, the three of them found themselves in a large, dark cavern.
If Mu Nan walks alone, he will definitely illuminate his feet with a fire pendant.
Walking with the Xie siblings, there is no need to think about the light: Xie Huaigu's giant sword, which is like a door panel, emits a brilliant white light, dispelling all the darkness, and the cave is as bright as day.
"There are three forks in the road, which one to take?" Xie Huaigu stared at Mu Nan and asked.
Mu Nan shook his head, he didn't know which way to go.
There are no traces of people in the cave, neither the map nor the guide has ever mentioned the bottomless cave, presumably there is more than one route to the north.
Master may have taken a different route and did not pass through the Bottomless Pit, and it is unknown whether the rat demon intended to lead him to the Bottomless Pit.
"Then one person goes?"
Mu Nan's suggestion was quickly rejected by Xie Huaiwei: "If only one is right, and the other two are lost in the bottomless pit, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out until the secret realm is closed." What's more, no one can guarantee whether there will be a fork in the road ahead. ”
"Let's go together?" Xie Huaigu showed a slight resistance.
Three paths, one by one, the time it takes to try each other, compared to returning to Rabbit Peak and looking for another path, may be a wiser choice.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
Just when the three of them were helpless, Mu Nan suddenly heard a rat call.
He had an idea and took out the Grey Clan's Psychic Fruit from the storage ring: "I have a way to pass through the bottomless pit. "
"How?" Xie Huaigu didn't want to waste time returning the same way, and when he heard Mu Nan say that there was a way, his tone was a little eager.
"The thing in my hand is called the Grey Clan's Psychic Fruit, and it can communicate with rats when it is held in my mouth. The bottomless pit may be a little new to us and us, but it may be very familiar to the ubiquitous rodents! ”
After Mu Nan finished speaking, he handed the psychic fruit to Xie Huaigu.
"Is there such a thing?" Xie Huaigu half-believingly pinched the psychic fruit and sniffed: "Vomit!" How could it be this taste?
Then, with a look of disgust, he stuffed it to Mu Nan.
Mu Nan was naturally reluctant to put the psychic fruit in his mouth, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, I am reluctant to give the psychic fruit to others. But Hua Qianduo reminded me that her flower tea had a conflict with the psychic fruit, and it would have no effect when eaten together, so I could only tear ......"
Mu Nan's words were convincing, and he glanced at Xie Huaigu even more helplessly.
With the flower demon as a shield, Senior Brother and Sister Xie will definitely not go to her for verification.
And Xie Huaigu wouldn't let him try it first, not to mention whether it had any effect for the time being, that is, he could communicate with rats, but he said that it had no effect, and he couldn't verify the authenticity.
At that time, wouldn't it be even more disgusting to take out the psychic fruit from his mouth and put it in his mouth?
"Sister!" Xie Huaigu looked at Xie Huaiwei in embarrassment, but saw that Xie Huaiwei didn't turn his head, so he had to clench his fists to cheer himself up, and asked Mu Nan's opinion: "Just put it in your mouth?" ”
"Yes, just keep it in your mouth." Mu Nan replied affirmatively.
"Good!" Xie Huaigu nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind, took the Psychic Fruit in his hand again and slammed it into his mouth.
The bitter coptis also carries the fishy smell of rotten fish bones, and the pungent breath goes straight to the Tianling Gai!
Despite his distorted face and unspeakable suffering, Xie Huaigu never spit out the psychic fruit.
"Nostalgic for the real man!" Mu Nan exclaimed.
"You really have the ability to communicate with rats!" Xie Huaigu's vague voice faintly revealed a trace of imperceptible excitement.
At this time, as if in response to him, the rats in the cave squirmed out from all directions, and a dozen of them gathered at his feet, squeaking and squeaking.
However, Mu Nan and Xie Huaiwei covered their noses in unison.
Xie Huaigu's "tone" when he spoke was too "shocking", and it was not as good as the taste of the mortal public toilet.
"Which way?" Xie Huaiwei pinched her nose and spoke, her voice changed.
"Wait for me to ask! Creak! ”
After Xie Huaigu exchanged a few words with the mice beside him, he pointed to the fork in the road on the left: "This! ”
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
The rat led the way in front, and the wind blew towards the three of them.
A rugged and narrow bottomless pit that seems to have no end.
He had already counted how many bends he had bypassed, how many hurdles he had crossed, and he had been running rapidly for an hour before Xie Huaigu stopped before he knew how many forks in the road.
"According to what the rat brothers said, ten miles ahead will come to an end, two forks in the road, although they are different paths, squeak!" Xie Huaigu habitually squeaked and continued: "But you need to divide into two teams and light the oil lamps on the stone wall three or five miles to break the ban and pass through the final cave door. ”
"In that case, then I'll go all the way, and your brother and sister can go all the way."
Xie Huaigu guarded against Mu Nan and Xie Huaiwei like a thief, and Mu Nan naturally would not be bored and proposed to go all the way with Xie Huaiwei.
Moreover, he had just clearly seen that the rats had indeed divided into two paths, and they were heading for two forks in the road.
Therefore, I didn't have too much defense in my heart.
"Then take the fork on the left, remember, light the oil lamp three miles or five miles!" Xie Huaigu emphasized.
"Good! The end meets! ”
Mu Nan turned around and entered the fork in the road on the left, illuminated by a fire pendant, and walked quickly.
The Xie brothers and sisters walked for half an hour on the fork in the road on the right, and when they reached the end, they didn't see Mu Nan's figure.
"Why is the speed of the shepherd so slow?" Xie Huaiwei looked at the stone gate in front of her and complained.
"Squeak!" Xie Huaigu stretched out his hand and pushed open the stone door, and said with a wicked smile: "He can't get there!" ”
"Huh? Brother, you ......"
"Although the Grey Clan's psychic fruit doesn't taste very good, it can indeed communicate with the rat brothers." Xie Huaigu explained: "With the help of such a divine object, why should we go with him? In this way, if you get the treasure of heaven and earth, you don't have to divide him into four! ”
"But...... So...... Isn't it a little too sinister? Xie Huaiwei couldn't bear it, and her voice was much quieter.
"Which Dao leader in the cultivation realm doesn't have a bit of an unbearable past? What are we doing here? Besides, do you think Mu Nan is real? I got benefits from the flower demon, and I didn't take the initiative to share it with us, I just treated others in the way of others. What's more, no one can die in the secret realm! ”
After Xie Huaigu's enlightenment, Xie Huaiwei felt a sense of relief and relief, she nodded, and then stepped through the stone gate.
Mu Nan walked alone on another fork in the road, and deliberately kept an eye on it: every ten zhang he left a mark on the cave wall to prevent Xie Huaigu from cheating.
He didn't believe Xie Huaigu's words from the bottom of his heart.
Until he saw the oil lamp on the wall of the cave: three feet in size, and the body of the lamp was engraved with ancient runes, which had become obscure due to age.
"I'm being a little cautious." Mu Nan thought apologetically.
Then, he struck the wick with the Flame Fall.
"Whew!"
The oil lamp was lit immediately, and the light instantly illuminated the entire cave.
"Next!" Mu Nan lit the oil lamp and prepared to leave, heading to the five miles Xie Huaigu said, but found that his legs seemed to be stuck in the mire.
