Chapter Eighty-Five: The Secret Passage of Darkness
Ye Hua and his party came to the entrance of the secret passage in parallel, this is an inconspicuous-looking square row hole, a section of steps extends down from the hole, and the last step disappears into the darkness with no end in sight.
Ye Hua and the others, you look at me, I look at you, they don't make a sound, no one dares to guarantee what danger is inside in this situation.
"It's really shrouded in a spiritual power, and this spiritual power seems to be absorbing the light around it all the time, so there's almost no light underneath. Ye Hua's words confirmed what Yaoguang said just now, and he was ready to enter the cave after speaking.
"You be careful. At this time, Shui Menglan became cautious, "It shouldn't be some evil thing sealed by the ancestor back then!"
"I don't think so. Rui Xinlan replied weakly beside her, "I also feel this spiritual power, but it's not evil, it's just very peculiar." ”
Ye Hua nodded, and he said, "I can see that there is no malice in the spiritual power, absorbing light may only be the characteristic of this spiritual power, and the spiritual power itself does not have anything evil." ”
"But I can't see my fingers here, how are we going to move forward!" Rui Xinlan hesitated as she looked at the dark hole.
Ye Hua then remembered that the two of them did not have a discerning eye like themselves, and with the help of the discerning eye, he could see things like day even in the dark. But the two ladies can't, although cultivators can perceive things by relying on the flow of spiritual power around them, but the spiritual power in this cave is abnormal and can't be judged at all.
"How is this good?" Just when everyone was at a loss, Shui Menglan thought of a way. She told the two of them to wait for him in the same place, and ran back to the hall of the library by herself, and it didn't take long for her to return to the cave with a smile.
"Look what I found!" Shui Menglan proudly took out three huge night pearls from her waist bag, each of which was the size of a palm, crystal clear, and brilliant. "I've picked the three largest night pearls in the hall, and this brightness should be enough. ”
"That's a good idea. Ye Hua took one. "This night pearl can continue to shine, and it should play some role in the cave. ”
"These are all treasures, huh?" Rui Xinlan cautiously turned to the night pearl handed over by Shui Menglan, "Let's just take it, okay?"
"Who cares about this now, if you don't worry, we'll just go back when we run out!" Shui Menglan told Rui Xinlan not to care too much, "Let's go and find the treasures in the cave first." ”
After having the light, Shui Menglan came to the spirit again, and she didn't have the appearance of a cold goddess at all, but was a little more well-behaved.
"Maybe that's what she's really like. Ye Hua sighed when she saw this scene: "She used to be like this when she was alone together, and I thought she was just pretending." ”
Thinking of this, Ye Hua also smiled, he knew that it was not the time to think about these things now, and at this time, he was even more focused on his mission. He hung the night pearl in his hand and walked down while searching, and reminded the two behind him from time to time to follow him.
This step is very narrow, and only one person can pass at a time, so Ye Hua walked in the front, Rui Xinlan in the middle, and Shui Menglan in the end, and the three of them walked down the steps carefully.
When they walked down the passage, they found that the night pearl in their hands did not have much effect, the light emitted by the night pearl was absorbed by an invisible force, and soon a darkness enveloped everyone, and the further down they went, the more serious the situation became.
The originally brilliant night pearl has also become a little fire, and it is impossible to illuminate the surrounding environment, so it can only be used to tell others where you are. Ye Hua saw that the light of the night pearl had been swallowed up by the surrounding spiritual power, so he had to use his discerning eye, in fact, Ye Hua's eyes had already merged with his discerning eye, if it was an ordinary night, he didn't need to deliberately cast it to exert a layer of discerning effect. But the spiritual power in the cave was abnormal, and he had to use the spiritual power to improve the ability of the discerning eye by a few levels.
"No wonder Na Yaoguang said that he wouldn't come down again. Shui Menglan also felt powerless when she saw this scene, "Such a bright night pearl has become extremely dim here, that Yaoguang itself is a light attribute spiritual power cultivation, and if you stay here for a long time, I am afraid that there will be a danger of disappearing." ”
"What should we do now?" Rui Xinlan was a little worried, but she followed behind Ye Hua, and saw Ye Hua's back through the faint light and felt an indescribable sense of reassurance, as if no matter how big the difficulty was, Ye Hua could easily solve it.
"Stay up. Ye Hua can already see the road ahead clearly through his discerning eyes, "There doesn't seem to be any fork in this secret passage, it shouldn't be difficult to walk, just be careful with your step." ”
Under the leadership of Ye Hua, the two of them walked down the steps step by step. After going down the steps for dozens of meters, Ye Hua found that the steps were already at the end, and there was a long tunnel in front of him, and even if he used his eyes, he couldn't see the end.
"What's going on in front?" Shui Menglan found that the pace in front of her had slowed down, and she inquired to Ye Hua, at this time, Shui Menglan and Rui Xinlan were like blind people here, and they couldn't see anything but darkness, at most, they used the dim night pearl to shine on the surrounding walls. "The stairs are over, is there no road ahead?"
"There's still a road ahead, and it's so long that I can't see the end at all. Ye Hua turned around and explained to the two behind him, "In this direction, I suspect that we should be walking in the mountains to the west. ”
"It's not an option to stay here, keep walking, can you still see it?" asked Shui Menglan.
"No problem, don't worry. After Ye Hua finished speaking, he continued to walk forward slowly, in order to take care of the two people behind him, he didn't walk fast, "You guys be careful to follow, there seems to be no other forks in the road here." ”
The three of them didn't say much, and continued to hurry, Ye Hua found that the stronger the spiritual power seemed to be, the brighter the light emitted by the night pearl, and the person was completely invisible if he was a little farther away. Despite this, Ye Hua and the others did not flinch, and still moved forward cautiously step by step.
"Haven't you reached the end yet?" After walking for about ten minutes, Shui Menglan couldn't help it, she shouted to the front.
"Probably not, I think the spiritual power flow in front of me is still straight, and it hasn't turned. After passing a while, Rui Xinlan gradually tried the spiritual power around her, and she was gradually able to perceive part of it.
"I think we should already be in the mountains. Ye Hua noticed that the temperature around him had changed significantly, and the walls had begun to become damp, and he estimated that he was now somewhere in the mountains to the west.
"This treasure is too deep. Shui Menglan began to complain, but after all, she still had to follow the road, groping her way in the dark.
"It's almost the end!" Ye Hua saw with his eyes that steps had appeared in the tunnel ahead, "We are going up again, be careful of the steps." Ye Hua reminded the two people behind him again.
Then Ye Hua began to climb up the steps, the steps were very rough, different sizes, much worse than the steps just now, and after a long time of corrosion of water vapor in the air, it became smooth and abnormal.
"The steps are very steep, so be careful. Ye Hua didn't forget to remind the two of them while climbing up that he couldn't care about anything at this time, and he used both hands.
Rui Xinlan and the two of them in the back were no better, and the two of them hung the night pearl, which had no effect, on their waists, and began to climb up behind Ye Hua with both hands.
"Let me waste so much, if it weren't for any useful treasures, I would have to tear the three people in the outer gate to relieve my anger!"
Rui Xinlan is okay, she didn't have any opinions, she was just following behind Ye Hua and Shui Menglan, she didn't have any extra ideas at this time, as long as she was following Ye Hua, she felt a lot more down-to-earth, she knew that Ye Hua could always take her out.
I don't know how long I climbed, Rui Xinlan found that the steps slowly became less steep, and gradually flattened, although I could still feel that the uphill slope was indeed much slower than just now, and through the perception of the spiritual power around her, I clearly felt that the surrounding walls were slowly widening on both sides, and the further I went, the wider it became, and finally it was enough to accommodate three people side by side.
"I feel like we should be there soon!" Ye Hua's tone became a little excited, even if he had tens of thousands of years of memory, he still couldn't hide his mood every time he encountered this kind of thing, maybe this was also the effect of the mechanism of reincarnation.
"It's finally here. Shui Menglan still can't see the surrounding environment, but she can slowly perceive some through spiritual power like Rui Xinlan, and she also feels that the spiritual power around her has changed slightly, and the changes are very subtle, but now when the surroundings are dark, people's nerves will be amplified, and even subtle changes can be perceived.
"I feel like what we're looking for is right up front. Ye Hua found that not far ahead, they were about to walk out of the hole, and the spiritual power was pouring in from the hole, and the further they went, the stronger the spiritual pressure became.
"Then let's go!" Shui Menglan didn't care too much at this time, she was excited and quickened her pace of progress, at this time she was already relatively proficient in being able to judge the surrounding environment by perceiving this abnormal spiritual power, so she became less timid.
"Wait, it's better to be careful!" Ye Hua beckoned to Shui Menglan in front of him, but even so, even he inadvertently quickened his pace, and at the same time said to Rui Xinlan beside him, "Let's keep up." ”
It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the entrance of the tunnel, at this time Shui Menglan had already run out first, Ye Hua followed behind and also out of the hole, and as soon as he chased out of the hole, Ye Hua found that this place suddenly opened up, and the place where they were was was in a huge and incomparably empty hole.
