After walking and stopping, after about half an hour, Su Mai finally walked to the edge of this sea of devouring flowers.

The further you go, the darker the blue light becomes, and later, you can only vaguely discern that there is a cliff in front of you, and there is no way ahead.

When I got closer, I saw that the rock was hard and flat, and when I looked up, I didn't know where it was going, but under the cliff was a narrow underground river, and the water was trickling, winding into the distance.

Seeing this, Su Mai's face was happy, and he said in his heart that although the underground river does not know where it flows, all rivers return to the sea, and there is always an outlet along the direction of the water.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt happy, by the faint light of the flowers, he went all the way along the dark river, the water flow or curved or straight, and there was a section through the natural stone cave in the cliff in the middle, Su Mai didn't care much, jumped down and groped along the water, although there were quite twists and turns, but there was finally no danger.

I don't know how long it took, the surrounding area was already dark, the blue flowers were gone, I think it should be far away, now there is no way back, the only hope is the end of this stream, the possible exit.

Su Mai stood in this shallow and cold dark river, only to feel that he gradually merged with the darkness of the sky, not knowing where he was, nor where to go, he could only grope lonely along the cold river flowing under his feet.

After a long time, when his feet were gradually numb and almost desperate, the water flow under his feet suddenly slowed down, and Su Mai clearly felt that the water surface was gradually deepening, as if there was something in front of him blocking the water flow, so that a small pool was formed, and he carefully groped his way forward, and the distance of less than a hundred steps was at the end.

Across Su Mai's body was a cold stone wall, the tentacles were thick and heavy, and there seemed to be a circular pattern.

After groping for a moment, Su Mai felt that someone seemed to have carved it with a sharp weapon such as a sword, or rather, it was not like a wall, but more like a door.

Could it be that this is the exit from the depths of the earth?

Feeling the hope of escape, Su Mai felt a burst of ecstasy for no reason, and the soreness all over his body seemed to be much better, and he was busy sitting in the water, breathing for a while, and feeling that his essence had recovered a lot.

He stood up, took a deep breath, crossed his hands, made a gesture, and then pointed his right finger to the sky, and the index and middle fingers were flexed and extended, and after a while, a fist-sized fireball appeared in his hand.

With a flick of his right hand, the fireball drifted away and slowly floated forward.

By the light of the fireball, Su Mai found that blocking the flow of water in front of him was a huge stone gate, about ten zhang high, with a huge gossip pattern in the center, on which was a long sword obliquely inserted, and the hilt of the sword was facing a protruding stone statue in the northeast corner.

Su Mai drove the fireball upwards, only to see that the stone statue was about six feet long, with a thick robe and long beard, and a calm demeanor, looking no different from an ordinary old man, and when Su Mai looked at the stone statue's eyes, a strange scene happened.

The stone statue, whose eyes were slightly open and did not move, was like a living creature in Su Mai's consciousness, staring at him steadily, as if this was not a stone statue, but an old man waiting here.

Su Mai was shocked, he hurriedly closed his eyes, and when he looked again, the stone statue was still the same, and when his eyes swept over his eyes, his mind seemed to have been hit by a heavy object, and it was chaotic for a moment, and he turned back after a while.

At this moment, the fireball had been extinguished, and the stone statue was hidden in the darkness, Su Mai did not dare to look up again, although it was impossible to see the eyes of the stone statue in the dark, but the strange experience just now reminded him that this stone statue was by no means simple.

In the depths of the earth, a stone gate suddenly appeared, which was a little weird, and the stone statue hanging above the stone door could not be done at random, and the eyes of this stone statue seemed to have a magical effect that confuses people's minds.

Touching the stone gate in front of him, Su Mai's heart was like ashes, and the hope that had just been ignited was instantly shattered.

This way wading through the water, I wanted to end the water, there is a way out, who expected that what greeted him was this cold and heavy stone door, with his current cultivation, wanting to forcibly open this door is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Judging from the water flow under his feet, there should be a passage behind this stone gate.

Could it be that the exit is underwater?

Su Mai had a whim, and groped all the way down the stone gate, but found that there was only a shallow gap at the bottom, and the water could pass through, but it was impossible for people to enter.

The door was closed, and there was no way out, and there was darkness in front of and behind him.

Su Mai climbed to the narrow waterfront on one side, sat on the damp ground and was at a loss, thinking of the inexplicable stone statue above his head, a trace of fear surged in his heart, it seemed that this time, he was really dying.

In this way, loneliness is waiting, the outside world time passes, day and night have alternated, but in the depths of the earth it seems that time has stood still, and the surroundings are so quiet that even he wonders if he is still alive or maybe there is no difference between living and dying.

The passage behind this door is probably the one that leads to the Nine Secluded Mansions, if so, maybe when I die, I can pass through.

Su Mai thought quietly.

After despair, there was some relief.

Since he was a child, he has been drifting around with his son, and he is used to seeing life and death, but now that the old man is gone, and the master doesn't know how to encounter it, Su Mai suddenly feels that he doesn't have much attachment to this world, if he dies like this, it doesn't seem to be a very bad thing to have such a big underground cliff as a cemetery.

Thinking about it, Su Mai suddenly laughed, shouted that he was sorry for no wine, and sang loudly:

Hegemony and other leisure,

Iron Horse Jingo is always white-headed.

Empty career to the immortal road,

Even if you don't die, what is it?

......

"Even if you don't die, what is it, the immortal path is slim, I, Su Mai, am only afraid of being difficult to see one or two in this life, and today's death here is also due to the will of God, but it is a pity that the master's hard work is in vain!"

Thinking of the dry-hearted old man, Su Mai's heart was inexplicably soft, his life was trapped here, he was afraid that the master would not be able to die well, but it was a pity that after three years of hard work, after all, nothing was achieved, and the master was like a treasure of the "Void Cloud Formula", and it was difficult to get started, otherwise he would not have to learn the five elements of the world that people abandoned like a broom, and he would have made a big disaster.

"In any case, before you die, if you practice again, it will not be in vain to be a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect. ”

As soon as he made up his mind, Su Mai sat up cross-legged and began to run according to the exercises that he had practiced diligently in the morning for the past three years, and he was all too familiar with them.

As in the past, the innate aura quickly gathered and disturbed, and even came in faster than Ping, and in a moment, he felt the aura rolling in from all over his body, full and pure, and soon surged in from the hundreds of points around his body like a tidal tide.

Su Mai according to the law, guide the aura into the dantian, after a while has been settled, the thick aura from the body all over, if the water spring, flowing through, refreshing and comfortable, so that Su Mai heart faintly filled with a glimmer of hope, this last attempt, can there be a breakthrough?

When the innate aura like the return of hundreds of rivers to the sea was introduced into the dantian, the scene that Su Mai was expecting did not appear.

The aura was tumbling in the dantian, but it didn't have the slightest intention of staying, and after a while, it was forced back along the veins around it.

However, unlike usual, these spiritual qi that had been guided and cultivated did not scatter without a trace this time, but were discharged from the body with the acupoints around the body, and soon formed a thin cloud of mist, circulating around Su Mai's body.

Correspondingly, the huge gossip on the stone gate in front of him suddenly lit up at this moment, and a dazzling white light lit up, like a lightning bolt passing by, illuminating this dark corner.

Then I saw the white light flashing, and the gossip diagram turned quickly, and the yin and yang fish staggered and twisted, like a living thing, only the long sword did not move.

As the mist around Su Mai's body gradually dissipated, the white light of the gossip pattern gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared, and the huge stone gate that was as solid as a rock quietly opened the moment the white light disappeared.

There was no sound, only a black hole was left, and it was facing Su Mai in the dark, spitting out bursts of cold air.

In the face of this sudden change, Su Mai had no time to think, quickly stood up, and rushed into the hole.

After all, it is always a good thing that the stone gate opens by itself, and maybe there is some hope of survival.

A gust of cold wind surged in, and Su Mai couldn't help but shiver.

Behind this stone gate, there was a spacious passage, only several times larger than the passage that the Dry Heart Daoist threw him into, and the water that poured in from outside Shicai suddenly disappeared.

This gust of cold wind made him feel that there was a wide area ahead, and there should be no obstacles in the cave. So he touched the wall, and rushed forward with a trot, and at this moment the strange gate behind him had closed silently.

Facing the wind like this, I ran straight forward, and after about a stick of incense, I finally made a discovery.

In front of you is a spacious stone chamber, the roof of the cave is embedded with pearl-like spars, rotten like stars, and the cold light is swaying, illuminating the ground as bright as day.

Su Mai swept over in a burst of surprise, only to see that the stone chamber was extremely large, just like the legendary underground palace, with huge stone pillars crisscrossing it, and people standing in it, suddenly felt vast and ancient.

Walking through it, Su Mai felt a little familiar in his life, and after a while, he touched this majestic and rugged stone pillar, and suddenly his heart moved, as if he had an understanding.
