After forcibly reversing the subject, the unpleasant conversation came to an abrupt end.

Meng Shuai heard other useful information - they were actually trapped here? No wonder they suddenly appeared here. also came together with Qingluan, and thought about it after many twists and turns.

While listening and walking upward, Meng Shuai couldn't help but feel a little irritable, and said secretly: "What the hell is this place? Why is it so far from the ground? This is the eighteenth layer of hell, and it should be superborn." ”

At this time, I heard Bai Wuqing say: "Speaking of which, this time the gate of hell broke out, thanks to the young lady's help, otherwise we may not be able to escape our lives." ”

Qingluan smiled: "That's it." If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it. I brought you here, and I only stopped by, but I didn't expect to repay you. ”

There was a hint in her words, and Xie didn't talk to them. Only Bai Wuqing had just had no quarrel with her, so he could speak more easily, and said, "I don't know if Miss knows, when will the flame of this hell gate be extinguished?"

Qingluan said: "I don't know about this. I've never experienced anything like that. ”

Bai Wuqing was surprised: "Why, doesn't the Hell Gate break out often?"

Qingluan said: "No, the gate of hell has periodic eruptions, which is normal, but it is the first time I have seen such a dim eruption, so that the air burns, and there are fires on all sides, and I can't even find a foothold." I don't know when it will subside, but I can't wait a few years, right?"

It turns out that the above situation is already so bad? Meng Shuai secretly wondered, this is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave.

Bai Wuqing said: "Even if you wait for a few years, it's not that you can't afford to wait." I was under the same roof with the young lady, and I didn't feel bored. It's just that our captain and Senior Brother Song are nowhere to be found, and they are worried. ”

Meng Shuai was secretly shocked, and said in his heart: It turns out that Song Qianhan is missing.

Song Qianhan has always been silent, usually everyone chats, he doesn't make much noise, I haven't heard him speak just now, Meng Shuai is not surprised. I didn't expect him to be really not there.

Qingluan said: "Then there is no way, Jiren has his own nature." The Liang envoys in our palace are also gone, and I hope they are as lucky as we are, and can stumble upon a shelter. ”

Bai Wuqing said, "Did you find it by accident? ”

Qingluan said: "Of course not, the Gate of Hell is so dangerous, who will build another place here? But in the end, this is still the property of our Phoenix Golden Palace. It looks like it's the old altar. ”

Bai Wuqing was surprised: "Altar?

Qingluan said: "Not bad. At the beginning, the Phoenix Golden Palace took the worship of the phoenix god as its own responsibility, and held sacrifices every year. And like to build altars, the southern world, including the gates of hell, has also built hundreds of temple altars, large and small, this should be one of them. ”

Speaking of this, her soft and greasy voice became a little more solemn, "With the passage of time, I don't know when the trend of sacrifice began to decline. The Phoenix Golden Palace no longer exercised the responsibilities of the divine envoys, and became no different from ordinary forces. These altars also faded into the dust. Even if I wanted to look for it, I could hardly find any traces of that year, except for a few records in the pile of old papers. ”

Bai Wuqing said: "Miss has also gone to look for it?"

Qingluan said: "I've found it." I've always wanted to find traces of the phoenix, and of course I'm going to study the story of the phoenix. According to my guess, the reason why the trend of worshipping the phoenix has been rising for a long time is because the ancestors saw the true works of the phoenix with their own eyes. At least then, the phoenix still has a legacy to be taken down. Gradually, however, the traces of the phoenix disappeared, and people no longer believed that it would return, and even the phoenix itself was denied, and the sacrifice declined. But those who saw it with their own eyes and believed it in person will definitely have records left, and if they find these traces, they will be one step closer to seeing the real phoenix. ”

When she said this, her voice was still soft, but with a layer of wisdom and firmness, which made her delicate voice appear a new charm, and the lazy judgment just now.

Listening to her methodical narration, Meng Shuai's heart suddenly flashed the shadow of Honghu, and then he secretly scolded: "Bah, where is this girl going to compare with Honghu? I'm crazy." ”

Qingluan continued: "I've actually been looking for these ancient temples, and I've found a few places, all of which are deserted and collapsed, leaving only a ruin. I didn't expect such a complete temple to be left in the volcanic area, but it was a blessing in disguise. ”

Bai Wuqing said: "Congratulations." ”

Qingluan said: "I want to investigate." Bai Gongzi, are you coming?"

Bai Wuqing said: "Okay, I just wanted to take a look." Ling Bo, Xie Li, this is a rare opportunity, let's come together, shall we?"

Yao Lingbo let out a sigh and said, "I'm tired, I want to rest for a while." ”

Xie Li said: "I'll forget it." Senior Brother Bai, please represent the northern and southern seniors for friendly exchanges. ”

Qingluan smiled coquettishly and said, "Bai Gongzi, wouldn't it be better for you and me to go alone, what else do you want others to do?" and resumed his smooth and greasy voice.

Meng Shuai felt a chill, and said in his heart: "Bai Wuqing, this kid, didn't he eat this woman's beauty trick, right?"

I heard a moving sound from the stone slab, but it didn't decrease, but felt closer. Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ear, "This is it!"

The sound was so loud that it was almost like thunder, and Meng Shuai hurriedly removed the slate from his ears and moved it three feet away, which was enough.

Meng Shuai guessed that the scope of this eavesdropping was quite large, and those conversations just now actually only happened at the edge of the eavesdropping range, and Qingluan and the others walked and walked to the eavesdropping center.

I heard Bai Wuqing say: "What is this? ”

Qingluan said: "This is the shrine, you see, there is still a collapsed incense burner here, the offering table has collapsed, but there are stone carvings that have fallen here." There is still something in the shrine. Wonderful......"

Listening to the sound of rubbing, which seemed to be the sound of wiping, Qingluan said: "Remove the dust, and you can see the things inside—huh?"

Bai Wuqing said: "It doesn't seem to be a god statue." It seems to be some kind of text. ”

Qingluan snorted and said, "It's the writing of ancient times." Where have I seen it......"

Meng Shuai said in his heart: "Okay, this has entered the archaeological state." By this time, the path he had climbed was getting steeper and steeper, and the road went up almost like climbing a mountain. And there are no stairs, just the road is sloping, which is uncomfortable to walk on.

At this moment, only a bang was heard, and there was a huge earthquake around him, and the sky was spinning, and Meng Shuai's feet trembled, and he almost fell. In a panic, he grabbed a rope casually.

It was easy to stabilize his body, and Meng Shuai felt that the rope he was pulling was rough and cold, not like a rope, but like an iron chain. Busy by the lamplight, take a closer look, sure enough, it was the iron chain that was pulled.

And this chain is not tied elsewhere, but hangs down from above, Meng Shuai looks up along the chain-

A portal loomed above his head.

It turns out that you just need to climb up!

accidentally found a shortcut, Meng Shuai was secretly proud, his luck was not bad. Reach out and grab the chain and climb up.

To be honest, with his current cultivation, he can fly away from the sky, and it seems a bit silly to climb the chain, but this is inertia, just like seeing a handrail and wanting to hold it, seeing something and wanting to eat, it is harmless, so he follows the habit.

Climbing up, Meng Shuai also secretly thought: What happened just now?

At this moment, I heard Qingluan smile and said, "Oh, didn't you say you're tired? Why are you coming in again now?"

Yao Lingbo snorted, but Xie Li replied, "The volcano erupted again just now, and the fire wave swept downstairs. Let's come up and hide. ”

Bai Wuqing said: "It's erupting again? This is endless? Now that the first layer is rolled, there will be another wave when you come back, and I don't know if the second layer can be saved?"

Qingluan said, "Oh, what are you talking about? This is not a good sign. Let's come and see this. ”

Yao Lingbo said: "What is this?"

After being silent for a while, Xie Li said: "I seem to have seen this text somewhere." ”

Qingluan said: "Have you seen it? How can you see it? This is our ancient southern character. I don't recognize a few, but can you still recognize them?"

Xie Li said: "I don't recognize it either, but I have indeed seen it." It would be nice if Childe was here, he was well-read and knowledgeable, and he might know it. ”

Qingluan sneered and said, "Meng Shuai, he ......" Halfway through speaking, he suddenly got a little stuck, and then changed his tone and said, "Yes, Meng Lang has read a lot of books, he may have seen them." It's a pity he's not here......"

Meng Shuai also sneered secretly, and said in his heart: It's almost exposed, isn't it? Your grandfather Meng has read a lot of books.

Meng Shuai has an amazing memory, and he has studied under the seat of several masters, and in addition to practicing, he is reading, if he is well-informed, he is really not inferior to others. What's more, he has the assistance of the black soil world, many words have been lost, he can crack one or two, and he is even more familiar with the ancient characters involving formation and seal knowledge, and he has also discussed it with Xie Li, so Xie Li has this to say.

At this moment, I saw that it was dark overhead, and the portal was in front of me. Meng Shuai said secretly: "Who said that I was not here, wouldn't I make a grand appearance?"

Reaching out to open the door, I heard a creak, and the door moved, but it didn't open. It seems to be blocked.

Just as he was about to exert himself harder, he heard Yao Lingbo say, "What sound?"

Qingluan also said: "There was a voice just now, is it a person, or is it a ......?"

Meng Shuai wanted to shout "It's me" at this time, it was estimated that he could hear it outside, but then he lost the novelty of the sudden arrival, he held back his pretending to be X, and deliberately did not speak. Just open the door again.

Xie Li said: "There are strange things here. Let's stay away. ”

At this time, Bai Wuqing suddenly said, "There seems to be a mechanism here." ”

Qingluan said loudly: "Hey, don't move-"

However, this voice was obviously too late, and Meng Shuai felt a roar, more violent than the volcanic eruption just now, and the iron chain in his hand broke abruptly, and the person also fell down.
