"Didn't find any clues?" After getting along for more than two days, Yan Saburo has a superficial understanding of the city lord of Wu, not to mention that he now knows his true identity. Even if this person returns, it is really difficult to find a way out.

City Lord Wu shook his head: "Nothing." ”

Yan Saburo didn't look up, but looked down, and the crane wall in front of the two of them was divided into two colors: Chu red near the ground, which was the same color as the gravel on the scattered red road.

More than one zhang, it is an ordinary granite layer.

Bai Ling looked left and right: "I didn't see the traces of the passage." ”

City Lord Wu pointed to the gap between the stone wall and the ground: "It sank." After saying that, he smiled bitterly, "The elder of Zhaojia Village is right, this passage cannot be cleaned up and reopened." ”

"Huh?" Bai Ling was stunned, looked at the surface carefully, and understood the meaning of the words for a long time, "You mean, this whole mountain is ......."

"Yes, it's all sinking. City Lord Wu said lightly, "With our manpower, we can't re-drill the hole and get out, and I don't know how thick this mountain is." We've also tried to climb up. ”

"Then?" Bai Ling knew the result, and couldn't help but ask more.

"A mountain and a mountain are high, endlessly. Jin Yu replied, "It took me seven full days to climb out, but it didn't work, and it took another ten days to climb back." There was nothing but boulders in the mountains, not even the soil and vegetation to be seen. If it weren't for dry food, people would have starved to death. ”

"It's a powerful illusion. Yan Saburo had to sigh, "This is the barrier of Taoyuan, and you can't get out under normal circumstances...... Have you ever tried to escape during a thunderstorm?"

The two shook their heads.

Lord Wu Cheng's tone was strange: "Since I entered Taoyuan, the weather here has been windy and rainy, and there is no thunder. ”

Jin Yu added: "Even the wind is not striking, it is basically a slanting wind and drizzle, and occasionally there are a few heavy rainstorms." ”

Bai Lingqi said: "A few days ago, there was a storm, and we just entered Taoyuan. Won't you run away then?"

"Which direction did you come in?"

"West...... Direction of the Reflection Sun Peak. ”

"We went to the north side. Jin Yu shook his head, "The breach that the illusion was shot out of is in the west, and you are lucky to be able to come in." ”

Yan Saburo pinched the wooden bell through his clothes.

Zhao Dazhao led the four of them to continue along the Hebi.

Strictly speaking, it is a walk down the rocks.

Turning out of the back of the slope, Bai Ling looked ahead, and suddenly exclaimed:

"Look!"

Yan Saburo also stopped, his pupils shrinking.

Before, the mountains blocked the view, but after turning over the ramp, the eyes suddenly opened up:

A big river is rushing at the bottom, the water surface is open, the river valley is gentle, and the distant mountains are ethereal and majestic, and the undulating peaks stand in the depths of the clouds.

What's more, the mountain topography and mountain shape of this group of mountains are clearly recognized by Yan Saburo.

The "Dying" picture scroll created by Shen Shuhuan, the sect leader of the Sha Sect, is the protagonist of this group of mountains!

Even the mid-air mirage that he and Bai Ling saw in Shoutong Mountain was also an illusion of this group of mountains! At that time, both of them believed that the place of dwelling that the world was diligently seeking was in the mountains.

But now he knew, the opposite was true!

The city lord of Wu also followed Bai Ling's direction and looked at the distant mountains. Both he and Jin Yu were a little puzzled: "What?"

Mountains are mountains, what's there to be surprised about?

"The clues we got in the past about the Lingering Realm are all related to this group of mountains. Yan Saburo answered their questions, "After the founding patriarch of the Sha Sect came out of the dying realm, he painted it into a picture scroll. Since then, this painting has been hanging in the mountain hall of the Shazong sect, and I don't know how many people have seen it. ”

After hearing this, City Lord Wu's face was indescribable. Where others couldn't find it by all means, he stumbled into it by mistake, but sharpened his head and wanted to escape.

This is the trouble of the siege.

Seeing the mountains in Shen Shuhuan's painting, everyone's spirits were lifted, knowing that they were getting closer and closer to the goal, and their steps were becoming more and more brisk.

Fortunately, not long after descending, the five of them came to a deep pool.

The pond undertakes the high mountain flowing water, and the clear spring winds along the mountain shape to this point. It just rained a few days ago, the road is high and low, it is staggered into a number of waterfalls, Bai Lian generally hits in the pool, flying beads splash jade, very beautiful.

The pool is very deep, because although the water quality is clear, everyone can't look at the bottom, only to see the deep green.

Zhao Dazhao pointed to the deep pool and said, "Do you know how to swim?"

Everyone said "yes", only Bai Ling brushed her hair uncomfortably.

"Please come with me in the water. Zhao Dazhao wanted to take off his shirt easily, but his eyes swept Bai Ling, and he was embarrassed again, so he jumped into the pool with his clothes on.

The crowd entered the water.

The bottom of the water is clear, and you can see swimming fish swimming around.

After Zhao Dazhao got into the water, he swam into the depths. The light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and Chitose didn't wait for Yan Saburo to signal, so he summoned a glass lamp to illuminate him.

It was the first time Zhao Dazhao saw a lamp that could be lit in the water, and he was curious, but unfortunately he couldn't speak now.

The waterhole looks small in size, but it is about eight zhang (25 meters) deep. If the water is poor, you can't dive at all.

At this time, everyone also understood why Elder Zhao specially sent his grandson with good water nature to lead the way.

Dive to the bottom of the pool, under the illumination of the glass lamp, everyone saw an irregular gap in the stone wall. Zhao Dazhao made a gesture and swam in first.

The crowd hurriedly followed.

Because of the angle, this gap looks narrow at first, but it gets wider and wider after entering.

Yan Saburo could feel that he was almost swimming diagonally along the ramp, so he should be getting closer and closer to the water.

Sure enough, after more than a dozen breaths, everyone came out of the water in an uproar.

Bai Ling inhaled again and again, only to feel that she had eased up. Looking left and right, I was actually in the belly of the mountain, and there were forest rocks as far as the eye could see.

The weirdest thing is that it's not dark here.

It's a huge sinkhole, with water at the bottom and a huge gap at the top, so there's no need for glass lamps to illuminate it.

Those who can swim in only have four words to comment here:

There is no such thing as a cave.

Zhao Dazhao led everyone ashore, kicked and staggered into the depths, and said: "In the past, this was a passage to connect with the outside world, but after the gods closed the passage, it became like this, and outsiders hardly knew about it. ”

The "outsider" Wu City Lord thought so. They boast of having traveled to every corner of the paradise, but if there are no locals to lead the way, they will not be able to find this kind of corner at all.

The others also understood, they had walked for so long, and they had not left Hebi, but had just dived into the belly of the mountain from the waterhole. Countless years ago, the mountain sank and changed the landscape, but there is still a little remnant of the passage, which is the path that everyone is walking now.

Although it is no longer connected to the outside world.

Because I walked to the backlit side, the path became darker and darker, and I was about to lose my fingers when I got to the back.
