Chapter 424: The Time Has Come
In fact, at the beginning, when he heard from Liu Yuan's mouth that there were a few trees in front of him, Pei Jiao's heart didn't take it seriously.
Because after all, it was just those few trees, where could she see anything abnormal, but what she never expected was that Liu Yuan not only knew the specific location of this Demon Gate Altar, but also knew how to enter?
Where did he get such specific news, Pei Jiao was deeply puzzled.
However, as for Liu Yuan's fiery sword, she was not so surprised, she had already seen the other party's martial arts sword technique.
Soon, just after Liu Yuan swung the knife out, he took the knife back in his hand and quietly watched the changes in front of him.
A brilliant firelight still stayed on the yellow sand in front of him, and Liu Yuan secretly sighed in his heart that his achievements in this mountain knife technique were about to touch the smallpox of this knife technique.
However, it is limited to a few tricks such as getting straight to the point, in addition to these few knife techniques, the rest are still a certain distance, and even the last knife technique has not yet been comprehended.
After another cup of tea, the fire in front of him slowly disappeared invisibly,
"Where did you know such a definite location, or even how to open it?" Pei Jiao was really curious, and waited for Liu Yuan to finish dealing with it before asking.
"Well, I don't know how. Liu Yuan was also very puzzled on his face, and even looked at Pei Jiao with an innocent expression.
Before he could react at first, what was the specific method Pei Jiao was talking about, until he looked at everything in front of him, he cried and laughed: "If I knew the method, where would I choose to use such violent means." ”
"Do you think that those people from the Demon Gate are all fools in the past? Every time you come to the Altar, you still have to choose to enter in this way?" Liu Yuan said again with a smile.
After listening to Liu Yuan's statement, Pei Jiao was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little speechless.
At this time, I realized that what Liu Yuan said was also true, if they all came to this place, they would not have existed for so long if they wanted to come to the altar, and they should have been ruined a long time ago.
It was the effort of these few words, and the fire in front of him completely dissipated, leaving a long deep pit in front of him, and the yellow sand on the edge of the pit was still falling into it.
And under the deep pit, a narrow stepped road, somewhat unevenly exposed to the eyes of several people.
"Let's go. Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed down, and he had already taken the lead in walking forward.
In fact, just a moment before this long path appeared, Liu Yuan's heart was still doubting the truth of the news that Zhao Changjing gave him, and he also doubted whether his way was useful.
Now it's not a problem, the sound of da-da-da's footsteps sounded on the deep long road, and Pei Jiao followed behind.
"Be careful, who knows what's down there. Liu Yuan touched the sand walls on both sides, and turned back to Pei Jiao and whispered.
Before entering, Liu Yuan had already imagined that there might be remnants of the Demon Sect under this altar, and such a big movement might even alarm them.
But since he has come, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the current Liu Yuan is also one of the bold artists.
just brought Pei Jiao with him, which made Liu Yuan a little more cautious.
As they continued to go deeper, the two of them realized that the underground road was really a bit long, and it was a little twisted, and now when they looked back, they could no longer see the previous entrance.
And as you go deeper, there is a faint light underground.
Then the two of them traveled very fast, and when about a quarter of an hour had passed, the road was clear in front of them, and they knew that they were probably about to reach the ground.
It is estimated that he was too silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressing, Liu Yuan wanted to say a few witty words, and said to Pei Jiao: "You say, will the two of us be buried under this yellow sand and never be able to get out?"
However, as soon as he finished saying this, the atmosphere seemed to be a little more depressing, and he saw Pei Jiao look back at him lightly and said nothing.
"Heh, hehe. Liu Yuan had to laugh twice to relieve the embarrassment.
Then he said in his heart, it should be impossible to think about it, since it is the branch of the Demon Gate that has existed for so long, it will not be so coincidental, and they will not be able to get out when it is their turn here.
And even if it doesn't work all the way, there must be other exits, thinking about Liu Yuan's mood a little relaxed.
"Oh, there's no way. Ignoring Liu Yuan's thoughts, Pei Jiao quickened his pace a little until a stone gate appeared in front of him.
"I'll take a look. Liu Yuan stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and groped on the stone door, naturally not worried about any mechanism.
After all, it was the Demon Gate Altar before, and in such a secret place, all the people who came were the Demon Gate's own people, and then they got some organs, how could they slaughter their own disciples?
After groping around, Liu Yuan took a few steps back, frowning and looking ahead, Pei Jiao continued to come forward and observe.
"There you go. Liu Yuan suddenly snapped his fingers, stepped forward, groped for a while in a few raised places of the stone gate, and pressed it a few times.
The sound of clanging sounded, and the stone door opened in response, slowly pulling to the right.
The red flamelight leaked out along the slowly expanding crack in the door, reflecting on the faces of Liu Yuan and the others.
The two glanced at each other, and at the same time, from each other's eyes, they saw each other's thoughts, and both of them were vigilant in their hearts, and there were probably people behind this door.
As for who it is, Dan Tang is not here, and how many people there are, it is not for them to guess.
After the stone door was completely opened, the two of them stood upright at the door.
Before the two of them could see what was going on inside, they saw a black-robed man standing in front of them, with a mask like metal covering his face.
had already guessed that there might be someone behind the door, and Liu Yuan and the others were not surprised.
However, the appearance of the two of them really surprised the black-robed man, and his first reaction after the surprise was to run away with a smoke.
"Chase!" Liu Yuan said directly, obviously he couldn't let that person run away like this, and he didn't know what kind of moths he was going to come out after this person ran away.
The two of them chased one after the other, and there was a large hall around them, and the black-robed man slipped through the secret door on the right side of the main hall.
didn't have time to take a closer look at what the situation was in this hall, Liu Yuan and the others ran directly to the secret door, and in the same way, after successfully opening the secret door, they walked in.
......
Cao Xiangtong was surprised in his heart at this time, he was a good disciple of the Demon Sect who survived the catastrophe back then.
It was only recently that he was found by the elders who were still alive, and stationed under this altar.
Before leaving, the elders instructed him not to leave anywhere unless there was an emergency, and to wait for them to come back, and there were important things to do at that time.
After that, he ordered a lot of things, and he Cao Xiangtong firmly remembered it in his heart, and he didn't dare to omit anything, his loyalty to the demon gate was beyond doubt.
Just before he heard the movement, he subconsciously thought that it was the elders who had come back after they had dealt with the matter.
Who knew that when I opened the door, I saw two young people who were completely strangers, a man and a woman.
He Cao Xiangtong is not a stupid person, his first reaction is that this altar was discovered by the people of the imperial court, and he sent people from the Yuan Imperial Pavilion to investigate?
Regardless of whether your guess is accurate or not, whether the other party is friend or foe, in short, it is right to run first.
Walking in the gloomy corridor, Cao Xiangtong had a clear direction in his heart, and he knew which exit to go from.
As for the things that the elder explained before leaving, he couldn't take care of it, if he died and couldn't hold here, if he ran away and still couldn't hold here, wouldn't it be better to live.
He thought clearly, the soles of his feet were as if they were smeared with oil, and the one who ran was called fast.
But Liu Yuan and the two who followed behind, but their speed was not fast, after all, it was a completely unfamiliar place, and the ghost knew if there would be any forks in the road or mechanisms or the like.
Naturally, they couldn't be careless, and the two of them were running in small steps while observing the situation on both sides.
"Don't say it, this Yongdao is quite solid. Liu Yuan said with emotion, and then said as if he had reacted: "That person should know something, otherwise it wouldn't be so long, and he would still be here." ”
Hearing this, Pei Jiao just didn't speak, and continued to observe Yongdao.
After a while, I heard Pei Jiao say again: "We should probably leave someone to check before." ”
Hearing this, Liu Yuan was stunned, he didn't think of this before, but Pei Jiao couldn't rest assured whether to stay or chase him, so he didn't open this mouth, and now it's too late to say it.
At that moment, Liu Yuan opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, it's a big deal to wait until you catch up with that person, and then come back." ”
"It's okay, you have an idea. Pei Jiao didn't dwell too much on this point, bowed his head slightly, and said: "I've seen this way, it's not suitable for setting up any mechanism, even if there is, it won't cause us harm, speed up." ”
This is the result of her examination, and Liu Yuan also believed it.
After the two of them sped up, they found a lot of traces left by the black-robed man along the way, obviously there was only one way, and the other party escaped along this road.
The speed is getting faster and faster, and even the light body kung fu is also used, and soon the two of them heard the movement in front of them, and knew that this person must have been found, just ahead.
Because of this, the two of them walked a little faster.
In the entire Demon Gate, his Cao Xiangtong's martial arts are not bad, otherwise he would not have successfully survived the catastrophe of the year, but if you really want to talk about it, he is definitely not a master.
Especially in the area of light work, so he is self-aware, knowing that the other two people dare to break into the altar of the demon gate, he must rely on it.
Therefore, Cao Xiangtong was already ready for the second hand after escaping from the secret door.
Since it is the branch altar of the Demon Gate, in addition to the hidden advantages hidden under the yellow sand of the Gobi in Xiling, there are many ingenious places.
If it was a few years ago, with his status as Cao Xiangtong, it would be impossible to know this, but now he is also the mainstay of the Demon Gate.
Since the elder wanted him to guard, he naturally told him all this before leaving.
When he arrived at the place, thinking in his heart, Cao Xiangtong didn't know what he had touched, and the rock wall on the left had sunken.
With a dodge, Cao Xiangtong quickly walked in, and then the rock wall closed, without revealing the slightest abnormality.
Within the effort of a small half pillar of incense, Liu Yuan and the others quickly walked here, but the speed was extremely fast, and they continued to rush forward without stopping.
......
It's been a long time since the army surrounded a few blocks that day, and failed to catch the man in black.
Originally, the eldest prince was quite confident, even if the man in black ran away, he would still be able to catch the second brother.
After all, so many places in Hongguang City have been eliminated, and the rest are only small places.
But after working hard for so long, it still didn't work, and his heart gradually sank.
At this time, he was in his study, looking at the map in front of him, frowning, trying to guess the psychological thoughts of the second brother.
While he was watching, suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting the eldest prince's thoughts.
"Come in. Rubbing his eyes, the eldest prince said that he had walked back to his seat.
He knew that if he could find him at this time, he must be in charge of affairs and had something more important to report.
After receiving the answer, the steward pushed the door and walked in, and after standing in front of him with his hands down, he said, "I have seen the young master, the master sent someone to ask you to come over for something." ”
This simple sentence directly poked into the heart of the eldest prince, and after taking a long breath, he waved his hand a little weakly, and said: "I know, if you go back to him, just say that I will go in a while." ”
After speaking, the eldest prince did not leave the caretaker, but his face was a little hesitant, and continued: "That young master, the person from the old man outside the door said that he was waiting outside, and he must wait until the young master you leave with him." ”
"Good. Almost a word popped out between his teeth, and then he stood up directly, took his clothes from the wenge wooden rack on the side, put them on, and walked out the door.
"Huh. After going out of the door, the steward stepped aside and led the eldest prince out.
Soon after seeing the person, the eldest prince's mood had become very peaceful, and he still knew this person, who was his father's cronies.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the mansion of the head of the Xia family, he was directly taken to his father's reception hall.
There was a hut in the reception hall, and Lao Xia was waiting for him there.
"Do you know what I'm looking for you for?" said Lao Xia standing with his hands behind his back.
The child didn't know, and asked the father to make it clear. The eldest prince bowed his head slightly, looking humble.
"You won't forget the matter of the military order, Dalang. Lao Xia said with some seriousness.
"The child naturally does not forget, but there are still three days left, so why should the father be in a hurry. ”
However, as soon as he finished saying this, Lao Xia slapped his palm on the table and said loudly: "People have let you lose it, can I not be in a hurry." ”
"Do you know who the old monk who rescued the man in black is?!"
