Chapter 559: It's all under control
The scolding of "Sister Li" made Xu Haisheng feel very faceless, but he didn't dare to attack in person, so he had to arch his hand to Ye Linglong with a blue face, and left while cursing fiercely in his heart.
"Come with me. "Sister Li" walked ahead, leading Ye Linglong through the central area of the White Tiger Cave and arriving at the three-story building where Xu Haisheng was before.
Pushing the door in, Ye Linglong thought that "Sister Li" would go upstairs, but who knew that she actually walked down the spiraling stairs. After a turn, the spiral staircase returned to the outside. The two of them went down the spiral staircase to the bottom of the cave and came to the head of the stack. "Sister Li" jumped on the boat and beckoned to Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong couldn't help but wonder in her heart, where is "Sister Li" going to take her?
With a hint of apprehension, Ye Linglong boarded the boat. "Sister Li" untied the boat cable, and the boat floated along the turbulent underground river to the northwest of the White Tiger Cave. When we reached the northwest cave wall, the river flowed into a cave that was only about a foot high, and the top of the boat gripped the roof of the cave. The cave was pitch black, and there was a small oil lamp on the wall of the cave at a distance. That faint light was not enough to illuminate the entire cavern. Ye Linglong noticed that there was a long thin ditch on the two walls of the cave, and the thin ditch was slightly inclined downward with the trend of the cave, it seemed that all the oil lamps in the cave were supplied with oil from outside the cave through this thin ditch, and only a pit was needed to dig out a pit every other section on the fine ditch to store lamp oil that could be burned for several days.
Ye Linglong remembered that Xu Haisheng once said that the flow of the underground river was from the Qinglong Cave through the Dongtian Cave and then into the White Tiger Cave. But he didn't mention where it would go after it left the White Tiger Cave. The dim cave is very long, the river is very turbulent, and the sound of the boat and the roof of the cave from time to time is particularly harsh, and the atmosphere is extremely oppressive.
"The roof of the ship was covered with a thin sheet of iron, which is why the sound was so harsh. It'll be fine in a while. "Sister Li" walked out of the cabin and stood side by side with Ye Linglong in the bow of the boat.
Ye Linglong couldn't help but ask her, "Where are you taking me?"
"Heh, you'll find out in a moment. ”
After another moment, a bright spot appeared in the darkness ahead, and the exit finally arrived!
"Stand firm!" With the reminder of "Sister Li", the pengzhou and the river rushed out together, but the scene outside the cave shocked Ye Linglong dumbfounded, and the river actually turned into a waterfall after flowing outside the cave! He slid through the air for a distance, and at the end of the day, he landed on two huge logs, and swooped down rapidly along the inclination of the wooden frame, until the arc of the bottom of the wooden frame, and then slowed down, and because of the height difference between the two sides of the wooden frame and the curvature of the surface, the hull slowly swung sideways, and finally leaned gently on the side of several canopy boats that were originally parked on the wooden frame.
Although Ye Linglong did not fall from the boat, she was scared into a cold sweat, and looking back, the exit of the cave was hanging on the rock wall more than ten zhang high.
"Hahaha, it's so thrilling every time!" "Sister Li" looked very excited.
The frightened Ye Linglong sighed: "The guy who can come up with this way of stopping the ship must be a madman......"
"I don't know if it's crazy or not, but it does make use of the river and the big hole downstream. "Sister Li" explained, "The underground river is too fast, and there is a waterfall downstream, so it is impossible to swim upstream. After the boats are arranged one by one and stopped, the ropes are pulled by the water of the waterfall, and the boats are sent back to the Qinglong Cave upstream through the wooden wheel road over there.
Ye Linglong followed her direction and saw that there was a huge waterwheel under the waterfall, and the waterwheel did not have a fan page, but instead there were water buckets, which would sink after being filled with water, thus driving the waterwheel to rotate and also driving the iron cable tied to the waterwheel. There are hooks on the ropes that hook the top of the iron-clad canon, which pulls the canopy out of the cave along a wood-framed slope. In the middle of the slope of the slope are the upper edges of huge wooden wheels, so that the iron ropes do not have to "labor" to drive the boat. The speed is a little slower, but there is no need to spend manpower to transport the ship, which is really another miracle of Qingming City.
"One of my duties in Qingming City is to take care of this set of transporting boats. The cottage over there is my residence. "Sister Li" walked to the front of the house, pushed open the door, and made a "please" gesture to Ye Linglong.
After Ye Linglong entered the house, "Sister Li" closed the door. It was dark in the room, and a small oil lamp burned on the table. There was also a candlestick next to it, which was somehow unused, and was covered with a thick black cloth.
"Sit. "Sister Li" sat down on the other side of the table.
Ye Linglong felt very uncomfortable, this situation was like interrogating a prisoner.
"Bang", Sister Li suddenly took out a dagger and stuck it on the table, startling Ye Linglong.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Linglong was ready to fight.
"You should be wearing a storage ring on your hand, right?" Sister Li smiled maliciously.
Ye Linglong forced her composure, she didn't know what kind of strength "Sister Li" was, but with her four-elephant level, I am afraid that there is not much hope of beating "Sister Li", although she has "body protection divine power", but at this time, she is on the territory of "Sister Li", there is no way to escape, she has to come up with a way to get out.
"Who said they were going to kill you?" "Sister Li" put on an amiable expression, "Don't worry, I don't want your ring." ”
"Oh?"
"Heh, as long as you hand over everything in the ring. "Sister Li" deliberately spoke and panted.
Ye Linglong's heart sank, the two most important things in the ring were the family heirloom "Ancient Formation Cheats" and one of the four heavenly treasures, Zhi Mingpei.
Something is very strange, save
The magic weapon itself is worth a lot of money, and "Sister Li" only said that she wants the things in the ring, judging from this, she should know that there must be a good treasure in the storage ring! Ye Linglong's forehead was dripping with small beads of sweat, and she was thinking about which treasure "Sister Li" really targeted.
Unlikely. Except for those Taigong masters and Ye Linglong herself, no one knew this secret. The goal of "Sister Li" should be the "Ancient Formation Cheats". In other words, "Sister Li" recognized Ye Linglong as the successor of the Ye family's formation. However, this is too strange, Ye Linglong first came to Qingming City, and it was the first time she met "Sister Li", how did she identify it?
At this time, "Sister Li" was still saying cruel words: "I don't kill people, I just want to 'cross the goods'." ”
Ye Linglong took out a few other items in the storage ring first. There are pills, medicinal herbs, and some money.
"Sister Li" didn't even look at the things on the table: "You want to send me away with some pills and blue yuanshi?
"I am poor, and there is nothing more precious. Ye Linglong said.
"Huh. Hugh is going to lie to me. Do you have to tell the truth if I use a dagger?" "Sister Li" threatened.
Ye Linglong frowned, she had a "divine power" to protect her body, of course she was not afraid of the dagger, but she wanted to find out how many secrets "Sister Li" knew. So, Ye Linglong pretended to endure the pain and took out the "Ancient Formation Secret Book": "I didn't expect you to know my origin." Who the hell are you?"
Unexpectedly, after glancing at the cheats, "Sister Li" sneered: "This is still not what I want! Don't think I don't know, there is still a treasure hidden in your storage ring!"
Ye Linglong's heart suddenly cooled by half, "Sister Li" actually knew Zhi Mingpei's secret! What the hell was going on? Ye Linglong hurriedly went through the process of coming from the Heavenly Prison in her mind, and was sure that she had not leaked the secret, and she had never even taken Zhi Mingpei out to take a look. "Isn't she cheating on me, so that she can get something more precious?" Ye Linglong glanced at "Sister Li" suspiciously, "Then why doesn't she let me lift the confession and take away the ring together?"
"Let's take a gamble!" Ye Linglong turned her heart sideways, "This volume of "Ancient Formation Secret Book" is my Ye family's ancestral formation book, and it is the only book that even the Red Emperor dreams of, I really don't have a more precious treasure." ”
"Still unwilling to admit it?" "Sister Li" shook the dagger in front of Ye Linglong's eyes, "I said that if I don't kill you, I will definitely not kill you, but I will draw a few more lines on your beautiful face......"
"I can't help it if you have to row, listen to it. Ye Linglong closed her eyes.
"What a hard bone, don't you care about your friend's life?"
Friend! Ye Linglong's first thought was He Tianyao, could it be that "Sister Li's" claim that "He Tianyao left Qingming City" was false? If you think about it carefully, the news of the "Hua Junmai collective retreat" is also what "Sister Li" said! Both of them may fall into the hands of "Sister Li"!
At this time, there was a sudden muffled sound of "bang" outside the house. "Heh, it's coming!" Sister Li smiled.
Ye Linglong knew that voice, it was clearly the sound of the tent boat colliding with the previous one when it was docked on the wooden frame!
"The second duty of my job in Qingming City is to take charge of several tunnel crossings in the White Tiger Cave and Qingming City West Road, as well as the area outside the tunnel entrances. Don't think that you can hide the fact that you left your friends to come to Qingming City alone. "Sister Li" couldn't stop laughing.
"Oh no, it's Ling Hurui and Ruan Jingsha!" Ye Linglong came back to her senses.
"Sister Li" The next words confirmed Ye Linglong's concern: "Your two friends have been tied up on the boat and sent here. No one but my henchmen knows that you are in my little Xuanwu cave. If you refuse to hand over that last treasure, your two friends will not be able to save their lives!"
"Despicable!" Ye Linglong gritted her teeth. Those two people don't have the "power to protect the body". Ling Hurui's strength is not weak, which also proves that the strength of this "Sister Li" is stronger.
Now Ye Linglong is faced with a dilemma: one is to "be alone" and resolutely not hand over Zhi Mingpei, but it is very likely to sacrifice two companions;
"I can hand over that treasure, but I hope you keep your promise and let them both go. Ye Linglong didn't hesitate too much, in her heart, the lives of her companions were more important.
"Sister Li" nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Have you figured it out?"
"Of course. But I have one request, I want to see them leave He Tong Realm with my own eyes, and in three days, I will hand over the treasure to you. ”
"Yo, you're not leaving?" "Sister Li" was very surprised.
"You do such a despicable thing, if you are stabbed by me to the 'Qingming Shuangjie', you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, how can you let me go so easily?" Ye Linglong knows the power of "body protection divine power", in this Qingming City, no one can hurt her. She saw with her own eyes what kind of attitude the "Qingming Shuangjie" had towards Xiao Tianhe and He Tianyao, and now that this kind of thing has happened, she must ask Shuangjie for an explanation.
"Dare to threaten me?" "Sister Li" seemed to be enraged, and Leng Buding stabbed Ye Linglong's eyebrows with a dagger, Ye Linglong subconsciously raised her hand to protect her, and the dagger was just in her palm.
A trace of pain came, and Ye Linglong looked at the wound in his palm in disbelief, although it was not deep, it was indeed bleeding. "What's the matter? What about my 'body protection divine power'?" She already had fifteen buckets of water in her heart—seven up and eight down, but she didn't expect that the princesses would "favor one over the other" and the "body protection divine power" given to her would be exhausted so quickly! In this way, all the previous plans were all in vain, and she could not live
Seeing the "Qingming Shuangjie" is a problem!
"Hmph, do you still think that no one can hurt you?" The mysterious "Sister Li" seemed to have seen through everything, and played with the dagger with great interest.
"Okay, stop teasing Miss Ye anymore. A voice rang out outside.
"Ling Hurui!" As soon as Ye Linglong came back to his senses, Ling Hurui pushed the door and entered.
Not at all like what "Sister Li" said, Ling Hurui was not tied up!
A light flashed in Ye Linglong's mind, and a spirit bounced up from the chair, pointed at Ling Hurui and said, "It turned out to be you!
"So what?" Ling Hurui took out a folding fan and shook it while laughing.
"In vain, I treat you as a friend!" Ye Linglong was so angry that she took out the magic knife and was about to cut it, but she was stopped by the dagger of "Sister Li".
"Put away your sword, you're no match for us. Ling Hurui said lightly.
"The princesses will definitely not let you go!" Ye Linglong expected that Hu Rui was a guy who ate inside and out, otherwise she would not have known so many secrets.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, that's what Jiang Taigong meant. We're just ...... Makes simple things a little bit more interesting. Ling Hurui's smile was unpredictable, "Take out Zhi Mingpei." ”
Ye Linglong is now completely confused, why did Ling Hurui say "It's what Jiang Taigong meant"?"If Jiang Taigong asked Ling Hurui to take back Zhi Mingpei, why did he give it to me in the first place? It seems to be a fraud!" Ye Linglong still didn't dare to take out Zhi Mingpei easily.
"Sister Li" at this time ripped off the black cloth covered with "candlestick" on the table, Ye Linglong looked at it, it turned out that it was not a candlestick, but a tray, on the tray, a fist-sized round orb was emitting a glowing purple light.
"What is this?" Ye Linglong had never seen this kind of thing, and it was not quite like an attribute gem.
Ling Hurui stretched out his hand and wiped it on the tray, and there was another white bead of the same size on the tray: "As long as you take out Zhi Mingpei, you will know." ”
Now, Ye Linglong decided to send Linghu Rui again. She took out Zhi Mingpei from the storage ring and held it in her hand, and suddenly a warm feeling came from Zhi Mingpei, and at the same time, the tray on the table honked softly, and the two orbs on it shone brightly. Ye Linglong hurriedly spread out her palm, it turned out that Zhi Mingpei touched the blood from the wound on her palm, and the blood was dripping to recognize the master.
"Sister Li" and Ling Hurui looked at each other and smiled, and then "Sister Li" reached out and wiped her face and ripped off her coat. Ye Linglong was surprised to find that "Sister Li" not only had her face changed, her clothes had changed, but even her body shape had changed! Now this woman was thin, light, delicate, and dressed in white.
The woman in white knelt down on one knee with Ling Hurui, clasped her fists and saluted: "Subordinates meet the master!"
Ye Linglong had already recognized the blood of Zhiming Pei, and naturally understood, it turned out that the tray on the table belonged to the Zhiming realm, and the two round orbs were the demon spirit orbs of the woman in white and Ling Hurui. But Ye Linglong didn't expect that both of them were demon clans in the Ming Realm, no wonder Ling Hurui claimed that "it was Jiang Taigong's meaning".
"Liu Guiqiong, a subordinate, made a joke with the master, and looked at Haihan. The woman in white said.
"Uh...... This one...... It's all right, please get up quickly. Things changed too suddenly, Ye Linglong didn't know what to say all of a sudden, and hurriedly went to help the two.
After the two got up, Ling Hurui grinned: "Actually, this is what the two of us have already calculated, I want to try to see if the master cares about treasures or more about friends." ”
"Oh, are you satisfied with the results? But if you really regard me as a friend, you don't need to call me 'master' anymore. Ye Linglong said. She looked Liu Guiqiong up and down, "Miss Liu, have we met anywhere?"
"Wanming Forest, just one side. "After being injured in Yanxuan City, Liu Guiqiong and several other Jin Chanyu's subordinates were all taken in by Xiao Tianhe into the Meng Zhang Realm, and when they visited the main altar of the Insect Department, they were left behind to recuperate. It was at that time that Ye Linglong and Liu Guiqiong had a face-to-face meeting.
After being reminded by her, Ye Linglong also remembered. But how did she come to Qingming City? And she also incarnated as "Sister Li" and mixed up in a high position.
"I came to Qingming City on the orders of your princesses, and I asked Miss Ye to keep it secret for me. Liu Guiqiong said.
"Of course. Ye Linglong nodded, "Your dagger was also given by the Taigong, right? No wonder it can break the 'Body Protector Divine Power'." ”
Liu Guiqiong gave his hand again: "That's true." I didn't dare to use any force, but I just scratched a small wound so that I could drip blood and confess the Lord. I hope Miss Ye forgive me. ”
