Chapter 336: Please enter the pit
Jiang Yichen didn't know how he got out of the stone room.
I don't know how long I've been walking behind Nightfall.
Although it appeared that he was doing business as usual, he had no doubt that the disguise on his face was indifferent to Nightshade's eyes.
Along the way, the light was uncertain, which made Jiang Yichen's heart feel like a mess.
"Head-to-head" with Night Death twice, not only did he fail to take advantage of it, but he couldn't even figure out the opponent's moves, and he was always led by the nose.
Recalling the look in the eyes of the night corpse, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but shudder.
On the contrary, the turmoil in my heart gradually calmed down.
He began to sort through his thoughts, remembering what he had done since he arrived at the Death Cave, and what he had said and done on the four occasions when he was present in the presence of the Nightfall.
After pondering it repeatedly, he was sure that even if he didn't make it leaky, it was enough to hide it.
It's just that in the two direct conversations with Nightshade, at the end of the conversation, Nightshade can always surprise and speak amazingly, which makes him look a little flustered when he is caught off guard.
But this panic was the uneasiness he felt about putting himself in the identity of a meticulous worker, if he really regarded himself as a member of the Netherworld, how could he have such a mentality?
As the elite of the Netherworld Sect, the Savior in danger is a great achievement, and it is reasonable to ascend to the Lord of Incense.
The two judges of "ghost" and "wolf" saw that the newcomer was a malleable talent, and he had the intention of promoting, and it was understandable to ask a few more questions.
If he really regarded himself as a member of the Netherworld, he should be glad that he was appreciated, and he should be flattered if he was uneasy, for fear of disappointing expectations, and he should never be overwhelmed and flustered.
After some self-comfort, Jiang Yichen felt a lot better.
Fortunately, there was no more questioning from the night on the way, and by the end of the road, he had adjusted his mentality.
In front of them was a stone door.
The stone door was closed, nearly two feet high, and it was extremely thick, and it was absolutely impossible for people to open it.
There is no door plaque indicating where this is, but judging by the scale of this stone gate, this is no ordinary stone chamber.
Could it be that this is a stone hall, which is used to collect all kinds of exercises of the Netherworld Sect? Jiang Yichen said secretly in his heart.
"It's been a few years since anyone set foot here. Nightshade said lightly, still not saying where it was.
Jiang Yichen was stunned when he heard this, he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak casually, he seemed to have made up his mind, if it wasn't for the night to ask him, he would never say a word.
Nightshade didn't care about the reaction of the person behind him, walked straight to the side of the stone door, stretched out his hand and pressed it against the stone wall, mobilized his internal force, and pushed it inside.
I saw a palm-sized circular indentation appear on the stone wall, and the stone door slowly opened, with a rumbling sound and a slight rustling sound.
The rustling sound came from the falling dust clinging to the stone door, and as Nightshade said, it had been unattended for many years.
The wind is like a torrent that has been accumulated for a long time, and it flows out from the crack in the door.
The cold wind is biting, but it freezes people all at once.
Following Ye Di into the door, Jiang Yichen found that behind the stone gate, it was actually an open-air grotto.
There are no lights in the grotto, but fortunately, the glimmer of the stars and moon still exists, and you can still see the scene inside.
The grotto is huge, but it is very empty.
The two of them had walked hundreds of steps, and Jiang Yichen looked left and right, but still did not find any targets worth paying attention to.
It wasn't until Nightshade stopped still that Jiang Yichen finally saw a deep and big pit a foot in front of him.
This big pit is three zhang deep, five zhang square, and no matter how deep and far it is, it will not be able to be identified clearly.
Just as Jiang Yichen was looking intently, he only heard Ye Di say "Come with me", and jumped into it.
Jiang Yichen didn't dare to slack off, and then jumped in.
As soon as I stepped into the pit, I felt the same as the stone path that I had walked through when I followed the butterfly into the grip of Hades, and it was cold to the bone.
Jiang Yichen found that the cold qi under his feet was not much different from the extremely cold qi he had cultivated, and if his feet did not move, he would be frozen and unconscious!
He hurriedly urged the true qi in his body to counteract.
There was a small sound in his ears, and there seemed to be a living creature on the ground approaching him and the Nightfall.
Jiang Yichen looked at the surrounding situation, and saw that the "dark clouds" seemed to be given life and began to flutter.
The clouds fluttered very fast, and in an instant, they gathered like a tide towards the place where the two of them stood.
After seeing what the "dark cloud" was, Jiang Yichen's eyes twitched and he gasped.
It turned out that this "dark cloud" was actually composed of all kinds of snakes, scorpions, insects and spiders, some without legs, four legs, eight legs, and hundreds of legs, some of which Jiang Yichen recognized, but more of them were unknown to him.
They are not necessarily large, and some can even be easily pinched to death.
Putting any of them alone in front of Jiang Yichen, he probably wouldn't blink an eye, but when they appeared in hundreds or thousands, the layered and dense spectacular scene alone made his scalp tingle.
Fortunately, these "dark clouds" only surrounded the two of them, leaving less than a foot in a square area, and they did not move forward.
Jiang Yichen stood stunned for a long time, his eyes had not yet moved away from the "dark clouds", and he saw that spiders, centipedes, and unnamed reptiles were crawling on the ground, ready to attack, but the trembling limbs had exposed their fear.
What are they afraid of?
Nightfall!
Jiang Yichen quickly moved his gaze to the person beside him.
And Nightshade was looking at him.
"How much do you know about the Nether Cult?" said the Nightshade.
Jiang Yichen was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Nightshade added, "For example, the Frost and Snow True Qi that you have learned. ”
""Frost and Snow True Qi"?" Jiang Yichen wondered, he really didn't study the origin of this exercise, but before he practiced, Weng Zhenhuai and Cheng Yin of Taiji Village had already studied "Frost and Snow True Qi", they only said that this exercise was a bit evil, but they didn't explain to him where this exercise came from, presumably this "Frost and Snow True Qi" has no reputation in the rivers and lakes in recent decades, right?
Jiang Yichen could only guess: "Could it be that this exercise is still the internal strength of the Netherworld Sect?"
Ye Di smiled: "It's not an exaggeration to say that, the Netherworld Sect originated outside the territory, and this "Frost and Snow True Qi" was created by an extraterritorial master a hundred years ago. ”
Jiang Yichen muttered, "Extraterritorial?"
He is very willing to understand extraterritorial affairs, after all, the current troubled times in the rivers and lakes are inseparable from the Zhongzhou catastrophe more than ten years ago.
And the initiators of this catastrophe are the foreign states.
It was this catastrophe that took him away from his parents, and he would have one day to set foot on the rivers and lakes alone.
Ye Di said: "The rise of any force in the rivers and lakes today is not a day's work, the accumulation of decades or even hundreds of years behind them, the Netherworld Sect originated more than a hundred years ago, at that time, the Netherworld Sect was not famous, and it was just a small nest for a group of disabled people to huddle together for warmth. It wasn't until later that a nomadic herder from the Northland joined them. ”
Jiang Yichen said: "This herdsman is also disabled?"
"The climate in the north is harsh, and the people of their tribe have also developed their skills in that environment, and they are all like iron men, who can cope with all kinds of hardships and hardships. ”
Listening to what Night Death said, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but think of the Yuluo Division, Feng, Hongye and others were exactly like this, could it be that the nomadic tribe that Night Death said was their branch, and more than a hundred years ago, this nomadic tribe had not yet come to the north of Zhongzhou?
"However, there was an unforeseen circumstance, it was a harsh and bitter cold place, but it rained in that year, and the rain fell into ice, which made it worse for this nomadic tribe, and they could ensure that they were safe, but the cattle and sheep were killed, and the cattle and sheep were the foundation of their lives, and they had to move south. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yichen was already sure that this nomadic tribe was the predecessor of the current Yuluo tribe.
It was during this migration that the herdsman had an accident, and he drove dozens of sheep by himself and got separated from his companions in the snow and ice. Under the snow, everything was hard to distinguish, and he and his sheep were buried in the snow. Nightshade's words continued.
The night was deeper, the wind was cooler, and Jiang Yichen seemed to be able to understand the despair in the herdsman's heart.
Nightshade said: "The sheep are all cut off, only he survived, and his strong desire to survive brought him to the head of the Netherworld Sect, he was finally lucky to survive, but unfortunately, his legs were completely necrotic due to the long-term immersion in ice and snow. ”
Jiang Yichen sighed: "He lost his feet." ”
Ye Di said: "Not only that, the so-called pull a hair and move the whole body, the muscles on the feet are necrotic, and they have to be cut off, and the muscles of his body have also atrophied, in less than a month, he has just passed the age of standing, but he has gray hair and a thin body, like a centenarian old man in the last years of the wind and candle." ”
Jiang Yichen was already a little incredible, it was hard for him to imagine that such a person who was about to die and had no legs could create a martial arts!
