Chapter 679: Old and Decrepit
The place where Fuhu Cave is located is on the northwest side of the Zhang family's land.
There are more than a dozen mountains in this stretch. And in each of the peaks, there is a separate cave mansion dedicated to imprisoning high-ranking monks.
The cave here is extremely special, not only is it made of a material called silver spar, but it is also inscribed with intricate spiritual patterns and placed a number of prohibitions.
Not only is the silver crystal extremely strong, but it also makes a deafening sound when it is hit by an external force.
Therefore, if someone wants to forcibly blow the cave away and escape, or break into the cave from outside, it will alarm the elders stationed here.
In addition, the prohibition here is strong, and there are Yuan Infant monks in charge, so as long as they are imprisoned, almost no one can escape from this place.
There are a total of nine caves in Fuhu Cave, two of which are used to imprison Yuan infant monks, and the other seven caves are used to imprison Jiedan monks.
People from the Zhang family rarely come to this place on weekdays, and most of the people who can be locked up in this place have extraordinary identities or statuses.
The cave where Zhang Jiuniang was imprisoned was the fifth cave of Fuhu Cave.
I saw Zhang Qiyuan's figure shoot into the air here, and looked ahead.
In the night, there was an invisible layer of gangqi, which shrouded the entire Fuhu Cave with more than ten peaks.
This is the first layer of prohibition here, which serves as an early warning, if people who don't know and want to sneak here, they will touch this layer of invisible qi, which will trigger the prohibition and alarm everyone here.
Zhang Qiyuan stood in mid-air, only to see him flick his fingers in front of him, and hit several magic decisions.
As a series of spiritual lights shot out, hitting more than ten zhang away, there was a popping sound.
Then Beihe felt a faint fluctuation, and it swayed away with a buzz.
At this point, Zhang Qiyuan's figure moved, and he continued to sweep forward. This time, he came to a mountain peak without hindrance, and stood in the air.
"Whew...... Whew......"
I only heard two breaking winds coming from below.
Two Huayuan period monks dressed in the costumes of the Zhang family's cabinet disciples shot in front of him.
However, when they saw that the person who came was Zhang Qiyuan, the two hurriedly bowed: "I've seen the elder!"
"No need to be polite. Zhang Qiyuan nodded, and then said, "Take me to the No. 5 Cave Mansion." ”
"Yes!"
The two bowed down to receive the order.
Then he turned around and swept downward.
In this process, several divine senses glanced towards Zhang Qiyuan, and one of them even exuded the fluctuation of the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage, obviously this should be the Yuan Infant Stage Elder stationed here.
However, Zhang Qiyuan's identity did not have the slightest problem, and soon under the leadership of the two of them, he came to the front of the No. 4 Cave Mansion.
At this time, one of the two Huayuan period monks took out his identity token and swiped it towards the door, and a spiritual light shone on the two closed iron doors.
After doing all this, the man collected the token and waited quietly.
If this iron door is to be opened, it is not enough to open it from the outside, and someone needs to open it from the inside.
It only took more than ten breaths to shine on the iron door, and then in the rumbling sound of friction, the door slowly opened.
Zhang Qiyuan stepped into it, and then there was the sound of the door closing behind him. For a moment, I saw his surroundings and fell into darkness.
Beihe noticed that behind the iron gate, there was a deep tunnel.
The entire body of this tunnel is made of silver crystal, and there are intricate patterns engraved on it.
"I've seen the Elders!"
Stepping into this door, I saw that on both sides of the passage, there were two more cabinet disciples who had cultivated in the Yuan Period, bowing to Zhang Qiyuan.
Zhang Qiyuan did not squint at this, and continued to walk forward.
Next, this person used the identity token in his hand to open a total of three prohibitions, and finally came to the end of this tunnel, a quiet stone room.
Beihe, who hid in this human body with the possession technique, was a little surprised by this, and there were so many checkpoints for imprisoning a monk in the Yudan period.
And he didn't know that in the first few decades when Zhang Jiuniang was imprisoned here, the guards were even tighter, and there was even a Yuan Infant monk who specially guarded this woman.
As time went on, the level of security decreased.
I saw that the stone room under me was more than ten zhang in size, and in the quiet stone room, the sound of falling water could be heard.
The stone chamber was empty, except for a stone bed directly in front of it. At this time, Beihe followed Zhang Qiyuan's gaze towards the stone bed, and then saw a slightly emaciated figure sitting on it.
In the dim cave, the other party lowered his head, so he couldn't see his face.
But Beihe still judged the one on the stone bed by his figure, and it was Zhang Jiuniang.
But what made his pupils shrink was that now this woman, whose black hair was originally like a waterfall, turned out to be gray and white, and this woman was still wrapped in a wide black dress, but her figure looked a little gloomy.
After Zhang Qiyuan appeared, Zhang Jiuniang still buried her head and didn't mean to look at this person.
"Senior, to ...... It's here. ”
I only heard Zhang Qiyuan speak with his divine sense.
After this person's voice fell, from the position of his chest, a cloud of black smoke immediately gushed out, condensed into a human form in front of him, and finally turned into the appearance of Beihe.
After appearing, Beihe looked down at Zhang Jiuniang, who was silent in front of him, and did not speak for a while.
And the woman in front of her seems to have no sense of everything in the outside world. But at such a close distance, Beihe could hear the woman's breathing.
"Zhang Jiu'er!"
Finally he was the first to speak, and the sound echoed throughout the empty stone room.
After Beihe's voice fell, there was a brief silence in the stone room, and then Zhang Jiuniang's delicate body trembled.
She slowly raised her head, and her gaze fell on Beihe's body.
At the same time, Beihe finally saw the woman's face.
What shocked him was that after so many years, Zhang Jiuniang had changed greatly.
In the past, the beauty who was full of charms and beautiful posture captivated the country, after being a prisoner for decades, a trace of wrinkles appeared on her face.
At this time, she looked like she was forty or fifty years old. Because of the perennial lack of sunlight, this woman's skin looks a little pale, and compared with back then, Zhang Jiuniang is much thinner now.
Coupled with her gray hair, where does this woman still have a trace of the demeanor of the past, just like an old pearl woman.
can only be vaguely judged from her appearance, when this woman was young, she must have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose.
Beihe opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips but did not speak.
And after seeing him, a touch of disbelief first appeared on Zhang Jiuniang's face, and then this disbelief turned into relief, and there were bursts of emotion.
Tears glistened in the woman's eyes, followed by a sob. In just a moment, the woman's sobbing turned into a cry, resounding through the stone chamber.
Zhang Jiuniang looked at Beihe, as if decades of grievances and pain had disappeared at this moment.
Although she knew that Beihe had stepped into the Nebula Enchantment, it would definitely die in the eyes of everyone. But she should be the only one in the world who knows Beihe best, and although it is a nebula enchantment full of thunder and lightning and tearing power, she still firmly believes that Beihe is still alive.
She is equally convinced that as long as Beihe is alive, he will come to her.
It's just that with the passage of time, ten years have passed, twenty years have passed, and even a jiazi has passed, and Beihe has not appeared.
The belief in this woman's heart was finally shaken, making her feel that maybe it was just that she thought Beihe would come, but the truth was cold and cruel. Especially after seven or eight decades, this has completely dashed the hope in her heart.
The loss in this woman's heart, no one can understand.
But now, after seeing Beihe, she understands that her conviction back then was right, and as long as Beihe is alive, he will come to her.
At the thought of this, the crying woman suddenly smiled, tears streaming down her already wrinkled face.
Looking at Zhang Jiuniang who was smiling and crying in front of him, Beihe didn't know what to do, and there was a faint sense of pain.
I saw him walk up, come to the woman's side, and gently hold her in his arms.
"I'm sorry I'm late. ”
At the same time, his whispered murmur sounded in the woman's ears.
This woman was buried in his arms, and only she released the cry of decades of grievances in response to Beihe.
