Chapter 167: Sesame Opens the Door
Liu Qingmian remembers that in her previous life, she played a single-player game in which she played the main character and traveled to an island far from the city on an unforgettable journey.
She couldn't remember many details for a long time, only a few scattered images were still unforgettable, and now she remembered it again because of the tree door that suddenly appeared in front of her.
In the game's story, the door hides the way to the underground dwelling of the Trail's former aborigines, who had to hide underground because of the increasing number of outsiders on the island.
Naturally, the people of the Lan Yan Sect couldn't be the aborigines here, but the passage in front of her made her can't help but reverie.
The black fox reached over and pulled the wooden door open, revealing the opening of a black hole, which seemed to lead to the underground.
"This... Is it safe?" Liu Qingmian was a little worried.
The black fox laughed, obviously mocking her, but still explained: "Safe, of course safe, the people of the Lan Yan Sect have been living down for decades, can it be safe?"
"Then is it safe for the two of us to go down?" Bai Ye added.
The black fox straightened his posture and said seriously: "You are a guest specially explained by the Three Ghost Lords, Lan Yan Sect... If the Three Ghost Lords are not there, there will be no Lan Yan Sect in the future, and I don't care where the cultivators inside are willing to go, but there are still many children in it, and there are still many possibilities for their future. ”
Bai Ye was silent for two seconds, nodded to him, and motioned to go.
Liu Qingmian looked at it twice, not quite understanding what they were talking about.
She didn't know about the three ghosts getting rid of Bai Ye.
What she knew was that all the fused spirit beasts in this hiding place in front of her had been taken away by the three ghosts in the last operation.
And from this, you can also guess one or two, the three ghosts hope to end all the sins in his hands, and the rest of the people, it's time to regain their lives.
Now that it's been said, it's time to go.
The entrance of the cave could only allow one person to pass through, but the black fox jumped directly into it.
But soon the sound of "bang!" came from below, which didn't sound far away, and at the same time, the voice of a black fox was heard.
"Girl, it's your turn!"
"I..." Liu Qingmian looked into the cave, but found that the light around the cave entrance seemed to have been sucked away, and it was not far away, but there was still nothing to see inside.
Just when Liu Qingmian was hesitating, Bai Ye patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, go ahead, I'm here." ”
Liu Qingmian said: "I'm not afraid..."
"Then go down, do you want me to help you?"
“...”
In order to prevent the tragedy of being kicked down by Bai Ye, Liu Qingmian took a deep breath, propped his hand on the edge of the hole, and resolutely jumped down!
I thought that time would pass a little longer, but who knew that the next second my foot hit the ground, making the same sound of "bang!"
Because of the wrong estimation of the height, Liu Qingmian couldn't stand firm after landing on the ground, but fortunately the black fox next to her helped her, but he quickly let go.
The sudden darkness made Liu Qingmian stunned for a few seconds, and she cautiously reached out to the top of her head, and just halfway through it touched the top of her head, which was also a solid mountain.
The height was more than enough for her, but it was a bit crowded for the two men, but it didn't stop her from moving forward.
Liu Qingmian looked up at the place where she jumped just now.
The entrance to the cave was very close to where she was now, and she remembered that she had just jumped half a second before touching the ground, but when she actually looked at it, she felt that the two were far apart, and the hole looked very blurry.
Liu Qingmian's pupils narrowed slightly, obviously surprised her by what she saw in front of her.
"You take this. The black fox suddenly broke the silence and handed over the previous night pearl to Liu Qingmian again.
Liu Qingmian didn't say anything polite to him, it was dark in the middle of winter here, and the sense of space was disordered, and there was no torch to use, so he could only rely on this to barely illuminate.
Then, he shouted at the hole above, "Bai Gongzi, let's get right, you come down!"
The next thing became simple, Bai Ye jumped down very simply, and then he also discovered this magical phenomenon.
Here, it is as if the space has been distorted in some way.
"Don't look at me... I can't answer that question. The black fox smiled.
"Then let's go, there is not much time, what if there will be another rainstorm and flood our cave entrance?" Liu Qingmian said.
"Little girl, you have a real imagination. The black fox said, and then motioned for the two to follow, with him taking the lead, and Bai Ye breaking behind.
"You don't look at how thick the bushes are above us just now, when this rain comes down, it has been filtered very little, and it is not in the way. ”
After the black fox finished speaking, he unconsciously became serious, and the darkness that shrouded the three of them here really brought them real pressure.
Liu Qingmian walked between the two, paying attention to the surrounding environment while moving forward cautiously.
And as seen from the outside, it was even darker when you entered.
Precious is expensive, and the Black Fox's Night Pearl came in handy again, according to him, he would come here at least once a year on average, which also made Liu Qingmian feel a little more at ease.
Under the dim light of the night pearl, you can see that this is a downhill road similar to a road, and the surrounding area looks like it is artificially excavated, with potholes, but the foot is relatively flat, but it looks more like it is caused by being trampled on by people all year round.
It is easy for people to have an illusion of time in the dark, Liu Qingmian was still silently counting seconds in her heart at first, but as she walked, her spirit fell into an inexplicable concentration, and when she suddenly woke up, she didn't know how many minutes to count.
Fortunately, this path is not intended to confuse others, although it is deep and dark, the route is all the way down, and it is a road to the end, and there are no annoying forks.
The darkness around not only swallowed up all the light, but also greatly reduced the effect of the Night Pearl, as if it had also released a forbidden spell on everyone, and the three of them fell silent for a while
But there's more to the torture than that.
The air in this dark passage was stuffy, and it smelled old, like something was rotting here.
If it weren't for the fact that Black Fox said that in addition to herself, other members of the organization would come here every once in a while to deliver supplies, and she probably wouldn't want to go on.
Even if you are not afraid of the darkness, you will be in awe of the unknown ahead.
Liu Qingmian raised his hand to wipe the sweat that slipped down his forehead, he could sweat almost every time he moved inside, and if the sweat accidentally flowed into his eyes, it would be very uncomfortable.
She almost thought she was robbing a tomb!
The three of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and the black fox in front of them finally stopped.
The black fox whispered, "We're here!", and the small sound immediately caused an echo in this empty space, which sounded very strange.
The two people who followed behind heard this, and their previously tense bodies finally got a chance to relax.
Liu Qingmian stretched his waist, stretched his body, and observed the surroundings by the light of the night pearl.
I don't know if it's her illusion, but the light of the Night Pearl seems to be much brighter at this time than when she was on the road before, which also makes it easier for her to observe her surroundings.
I saw that the three of them had come to a small clearing at the entrance of the road, and in front of them was a stone wall blocking the road of everyone.
The small open space around the stone wall is much larger, and the floor height alone is twice that of the previous corridor.
Liu Qingmian cautiously approached the stone wall, then reached out and tapped lightly a few times, and a dull sound came from above, like knocking on a boulder, without any room for maneuver.
It seems that this wall in front of you is very thick.
Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Qingmian looked at the black fox curiously.
"Eh, then, what are we going to do now?"
"What should I do? Open the door. He replied.
That being said, the black fox didn't mean to move, instead he found a place to sit against the wall and looked at Bai Ye leisurely.
"Bai Gongzi, please open the door. ”
"Huh, why did Bai Ye come to open it?"
"I'll drive. Bai Ye suddenly spoke, and at the same time came to the wall, "The three ghost seniors told me the method, Xiao Mian, you stand farther away." ”
Liu Qingmian was a little worried, but he still obediently stepped back and left all the space near the wall to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye stood quietly in front of the wall and closed his eyes.
After a long time, a faint light lit up from his hand, and with his movements, Liu Qingmian could clearly see that it was something like a token that he was holding in his hand.
Not only that, but a familiar and shuddering aura came from the token, and if she remembered correctly, the aura above came from the three ghosts!
But Liu Qingmian remembered very clearly, she didn't feel any breath of this thing just now, and it may have been something that stimulated it at this time, causing it to be activated like this!
Won't it be discovered by the nearby cultivators, right? Liu Qingmian was a little worried, and glanced at the black fox uneasily, but found that he still had a leisurely face, and he didn't look scared at all.
After Bai Ye activated the token, he quickly recited the spell in his mouth, and then pressed the token against the wall in front of him at an extremely fast speed!
"Drink!"
With a soft snort, the red light on his hand instantly returned to nothingness, and at the same time, the breath of the three ghosts from the token disappeared.
Then, the door opened, and a large chunk of the wall in front of it had disappeared, to be exact.
Liu Qingmian was used to seeing all kinds of strange things today, and not only was she not surprised at this time, she was just glad that the powerful token had disappeared.
It was only a few seconds just now, so it shouldn't have been discovered by a decent cultivator, right?
After the vanishing walls, everything became clear, even the darkness that had been thick just a moment ago was no longer the same as before.
What was now unfolding in front of them was an ordinary path, and fresh air blew from it, which made the three people who had been bored all the way suddenly refreshed.
"It's finally here... The underground world of Lan Yan. Bai Ye said softly.
