Not only is the light not extinguished, but it burns very smoothly, not at all as if it is about to be extinguished.

Wang Zhongzong looked up, a wisp of mana flowed through it, and encountered a very familiar resistance, after the mana washed away, the firelight suddenly weakened, almost nothing.

"Spirit stone, isn't it human oil or other grease?"

Wang Zhong is no stranger to this kind of resistance, every time his mana encounters the aura of heaven and earth, it will produce such an obstacle, in other words, the energy of this lamp comes from the spiritual power of the spirit stone stored inside.

It stands to reason that as a monk, it is normal to use spirit stones for lighting or something, but Wang Zhongli inexplicably feels that there seems to be something strange here, because the other lamps are all grease, and they are suddenly replaced with spirit stones here, which suddenly looks a little abrupt.

The light weakened again, Wang Zhong no longer paid attention to these strangely shaped lamps, and walked straight towards the passage under the human lamp, less than a dozen zhang away, and the front still seemed to be a large clearing carved out of the belly of the mountain.

There are many strange-shaped buildings built here, with semi-circular domes overhead.

It seems that the hollowed-out belly of the mountain has a weak load-bearing capacity, and there have also been landslides here, and the rocks that have collapsed have buried many places, but on the whole it is better than the one encountered before.

Wang Zhong walked back and forth among these buildings, and the rooms were carefully searched one by one, but the place was still empty, as if it had been emptied, and occasionally there were some scattered and strange parts scattered on the ground, and I didn't know what they were for.

And the houses here don't seem to be the kind of normal living pattern, but a bit like the kind of workshop layout in the Chiyang Sect, with walls of different heights, and in some places there are even pool-like existences, but they have all dried up.

"It shouldn't be, the Heavenly Alliance destroyed the Tianmu Palace, that is, it has been more than twenty years, even if the people of the Tianmu Palace here have been killed, it shouldn't be so clean, has someone completely ransacked this place?"

"But this place seems to be definitely not a small space, if you want to loot this place so cleanly, you can't even see a little commonly used object, you must need a lot of manpower, who else can organize such a large-scale operation in this vicinity, except for the Song family?"

Wang Zhong went back and forth among the abandoned buildings, and soon checked all the places, and it was indeed clean, leaving nothing behind, and he was very puzzled in his heart.

If this is really the Song family's vacancy, then there is a point to pay attention to when looking for an exit.

If the Song family had emptied this place before the landslide, they would have not been here since the landslide, and most of this exit would probably not be there.

If the Song family emptied this place after the landslide, then there is a high probability that the exit here is still there, but there may be people from the Song family guarding it.

Of course, it is also possible that this exit was also blown down during this landslide. In either case, the current situation of him and Chen Zhengyi is extremely unoptimistic.

Leaving the ruins, Wang Zhong returned to the previous "hall"-like place, where there were also two ways out, and after about a stick of incense along the passage on the right, a new "hall" appeared again, and after the "hall" there was also an unknown architectural complex.

After an hour, Wang Zhong walked nearly a dozen places, all of which were constructed in this pattern.

This entire underground world is like a spider web, and each hall is like a node on a spider web, and the building complex after that is a node guard, and the personnel guarding the town are mostly related to the unique image of the palace lamp in each place.

The images of these palace lamps are different, and Wang Zhong has seen Taoists, naughty boys, old men, women, dwarfs, and even demon beasts, etc., to name a few.

Wang Zhong didn't know if his conjecture was correct, but it should be roughly the same, the only thing that puzzled him was that in those buildings, the architectural style and pattern of each place were completely different, and it could even be said that they were very different, and most of them didn't look like simple places to live, and they didn't know what they were for.

It stands to reason that most of the houses built in such complex terrain will adopt the same system, which is convenient to build and can save manpower and material resources, but all the places here seem to have unique functions.

"Does it have something to do with creating a fierce golem?"

It's not that Wang Zhong hasn't thought about it like this, after all, this kind of thing can be explained in the cultivation realm, but creating a fierce puppet is definitely not such a simple thing in his opinion, and it is not easy to make a judgment.

After moving forward in two more "nodes", Wang Zhong didn't know how big this "spider web" was, and it was possible to explore endlessly, so he had to give up for the time being and go back, because he and Chen Zhengyi met in the same place after two hours, and now more than an hour has passed, and they are almost about to rush back.

When I go back, I just have to go all the way, and I don't need to investigate carefully, so the speed is much faster.

But after most of the hour passed, the node of the silent number in the Wang Center had already passed the fifteenth place, but he still did not reach the difference between himself and Chen Zhengyi.

Wang Zhong remembered that he had searched a total of fifteen nodes, one was not more, and one was not less, but now the node he was in, the unique palace lamp shape, was a fish-headed monster holding a harpoon.

This strange man has two arms on the upper body, holds a harpoon, and although the head is a fish's head, it can be roughly seen that it still has some meaning of evolution towards people, and the lower body is a thick fishtail.

The fish monster still had a whiskered fin on the top of its head, and the lamp burned on the highest one, and the flame was so weak that it seemed to be extinguished at any moment.

Wang Zhong's face sank, he was only in a hurry before, and he didn't pay attention to whether there was anything different from the place he had walked.

Now this fish-headed human palace lantern, he had never encountered it at all during the previous exploration, this is the first time.

"Am I on the wrong track?"

Doubts rose in his heart, but Wang Zhong felt that something was wrong.

He lived a new life, and such a low-level mistake would never be made.

Each node has five passages, four small and one large, four smiling ones are equivalent to passers-by, and one large one leads to the local town guard.

He can be sure that when he went, he took the right passage, and when he came back, he naturally took the left passage, and it did not change at all.

But now the path that was supposed to be the way back was supposed to take him to an unknown land, and something must have changed in between.

After muttering for a long time, Wang Zhong raised his vigilance and walked to "Hui" again.

After passing through the short passage, Wang Zhong came to the new "node", and looked sideways at the palace lamp high on the wall next to him, this time he finally found a trace of familiarity, but in an instant, it was creepy.

He had seen the shape of the palace lamp before, and it was a Taoist who lit the lamp with his fingertips.

Only this time, the hand of the Taoist who lit the lamp was changed from his right hand to his left hand.
