Zhou Xiang slowly walked out of the stone room, looked to the side, and saw that the tall and vast stone wall nearby was inlaid with some inexplicable materials, emitting a light similar to that of stars, looking at this hand, it was definitely not a space that ordinary cultivators could open up, could it really be a ninth-level demon beast or a certain peerless powerhouse? But here he didn't feel much vitality, but instead had a feeling of lifelessness.

He looked to the highest place as far as his eyes could see in the direction from which the external pressure came, and saw that something seemed to be standing there on the top of the distant pavilion, which looked extremely strange.

To his surprise, he hadn't seen anyone from the caravan so far, but the footprints on the ground were so clear that they had spread all the way to the nearest complex. Zhou Xiang followed the footprints and walked towards a building facing him, the road here was completely paved with rocks, and the two sides were extremely empty, and several huts in the distance also had similar roads leading to the corresponding building complex, Zhou Xiang counted, there were a total of nine buildings in the central palace of Gongwei. Because of Lin Lu's exposure when he was in the Huangquan Realm, he realized that these buildings seemed to be arranged according to the Nine Palaces, and he didn't understand whether they were formation rules or not.

On the way to the opposite palace, the broken array jade on Zhou Xiang's body flashed three times in a row, and it seemed to break through several invisible formation prohibitions. When he came to the vicinity of the palace, he found that there was also a green light curtain shrouded in the surroundings, revealing a murderous aura, which must be some kind of forbidden formation. He was already a little numb to this week, but he still fully defended and slowly walked through. In front of him after entering the light curtain was a closed gate, which was densely wound with countless metal stripes to firmly seal it, Zhou Xiang tried several times but could not push it open, in desperation, he summoned the Feihong Sword again, and used brute force to destroy the gate, and then walked into the palace.

The entrance is an enclosed cloister. The divine consciousness here was greatly suppressed, and the yellow jade stone protected Zhou Xiang from being harmed at most, but the divine consciousness could not be released, but fortunately, his eyesight was not affected.

But the first time he entered the corridor, Zhou Xiang was taken aback, and saw a person bound in the side wall, who was dressed as one of the members of the caravan, but he had been dead for a long time! The whole person's expression was not painful, but he was already gray and gray, and his goosebumps were wrinkled! Zhou Xiang looked at this person's appearance carefully, and it turned out to be Zhao Sihai who spoke loudly! These days, he is still talking and laughing with himself, full of vitality, how can he suddenly become like this! It seems that this place is by no means a good place, let alone a caravan secret path!

Carefully walk a few more steps along the corridor, and next to it is the corpse of a caravan member who died in the same way! Then the third! Zhou Xiang couldn't help but walk quickly along the corridor, and finally found an anomaly after passing through a section of the corridor, where the two people were also restrained in the side wall, and strange beams of light were sucking the life essence from them. Zhou Xiang hurriedly took two steps and looked carefully, it was the two monks with the highest cultivation in the caravan, Zhao Siguang and Zhao Civic. At this moment, the two of them had all white hair, and the slightest trace of life was leaving their bodies, but the two of them seemed to be immersed in some kind of scene and could not extricate themselves, and there was no even any pain on their faces.

Zhou Xiang thought for a while, and after being a little away from the two of them, he slapped the storage bag and sacrificed the Shocking Sword, slashing at the beam of light between the two and the corridor, and cut off the restraint in just one moment, Zhao Civic and Zhao Siguang immediately wilted and fell to the ground, but then the two slowly got up and leaned over the corridor again. Zhou Xiang was shocked when he saw this, he slapped the storage bag again to summon the puppet out, and the black bear rose in the wind, and under Zhou Xiang's command, Zhao Civic and Zhao Siguang were forced to pull away from their original places.

Er Zhao wanted to continue to walk back, but he was controlled by the puppet and couldn't move, maybe there was no effect of the beam, the two gradually stopped struggling, and finally passed out. Zhou Xiang leaned forward to inspect them carefully to confirm that they had no symptoms of poisoning, and then took out two recovery elixirs and asked the puppet to force them to feed them.

About two quarters of an hour later, Er Zhao gradually woke up. As soon as they opened their eyes, they looked around, and only came back to their senses when they saw Zhou Xiang, but when they saw each other's appearances, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"What's going on? You! How did you become like this!" Zhao Siguang was the first to widen his eyes and speak.

Zhao Civic stared at his hands covered with age spots, completely in a hysterical state.

Zhou Xiang didn't speak, Er Zhao gradually turned from surprise, shock, weakness, and confusion to quiet, and finally sat on the ground and looked at Zhou Xiang, the only one who seemed to be normal here, his eyes were full of doubt and awe.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiang opened his mouth to tell Er Zhao everything he had experienced, and the more the two listened, the more frightened they became, and then looked at the place where the corpse was bound in the corridor, and his expression seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Zhou Xiang waited for them to digest the reality for a long time before he asked: "It's also very strange in the lower parts, what did the two of you experience in that thick fog? ”

After all, Zhao Siguang has a lot of experience, although his eyes are still blank after recovering for a long time, he can ask and answer, he took a deep breath, took out a wine gourd from the storage bag and brought it to his mouth to take a sip, his eyes slowly focused.

"When the fog came, there was nothing unusual, and I stayed where I was, but it was not long before they gradually dispersed to reveal the road, and I led the group on, and then good luck came, and after not going far, I found an extremely rare herb on the side of the road, and I was very happy at that time, and I picked it and kept it well. After walking for a while, not only was it safe and sound, but I also found an extremely precious refining material again, and at that time I thought that this mist had brought good luck to the caravan, so I went down boldly until I took the caravan out of the mountains and completed the transaction. Then my life and cultivation became extremely smooth, and my cultivation became higher and higher. It was so much that the monks looked up to it. At that time, I thought to myself, the life of a monk should be like this, and after many years, I became the supreme elder of the family, and my cultivation reached the Yuan infant stage, and the Zhao family also became a second-rate family, and when I was enjoying boundless prestige and happiness, I suddenly came to my senses and saw Zhou Daoyou. Speaking of this, Zhao Siguang sighed and poured another sip of the liquid in the gourd, "Everything is so real, as if my dream is coming true step by step according to the plan." Who knew that he would almost die here in the end!"

Zhou Xiang understood a little in his heart, this mist seemed to be some kind of phantom array, gradually introducing the monks here, and it could also stimulate the desires in the hearts of human beings to make them intoxicated, and they couldn't and didn't want to extricate themselves, and lived a lifetime like a dream, and finally were sucked dry by the beam, until they died, and even when they were dying, they were still immersed in sweet dreams and extremely satisfied.

What a powerful formation, such a powerful forbidden technique!

Zhao Civic on the side has also returned to normal thinking, and he slowly told what he was thinking and encountered. is almost the same as Zhou Xiang expected, it is nothing more than a different life and the same perfect ending.

Looking at each other's old faces, the two sighed, and both hugged their fists at Zhou Xiang and said: "Thank you Zhou Daoyou for stepping forward to help this time, otherwise, the fate of the two of us is no different from those family guards." ”

Zhou Xiang waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." Everyone is in a caravan, and it is within their duty to reach out to each other. It's just that the loss of vitality of the two Daoists is too serious, and here is a bottle of medicine to recover from injuries, I hope it can help you. After speaking, he took out a bottle of pill and handed it to Zhao Siguang.

Er Zhao suffered this catastrophe, and even if there was still a glimmer of hope for recovery, he would not let go, so he did not refuse, and after thanking him, he took out a pill and took it.

Then Zhao Siguang spoke: "The two of us should just have lost too much in vitality, and Xiuwei doesn't seem to have been affected, I just hope to return to the family as soon as possible and extend medical treatment." ”

Zhao Civic nodded when he heard this, he also wanted to return to the family immediately, tell the patriarch about this experience and find a famous doctor to regain his life, and the two of them were about to get up and say goodbye to Zhou Xiang.

"I can understand the feelings of the two of you. But when I came in, there were many formations on the road, and the teleportation array was also a one-way teleportation, so it seemed unrealistic to return from the original way. Zhou Xiang said truthfully, "I want to explore this strange palace, maybe I can find the return channel." Why don't you rest here for a while longer, and then we can leave together after we find the passage?"

The two Zhao glanced at each other, they were extremely afraid of this place, and they only wanted to leave as soon as possible, so they politely refused: "Zhou Daoyou's kindness is in my heart, but this is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. Since we can get in here, there must be a way to get out, and we don't want to stay here, so we might as well go our separate ways, and we will look for an exit on the periphery. If you have the intention to explore this place, then you will explore it inside, and whoever finds the exit first will notify each other?"

Zhou Xiang thought about it for a while, and then looked at the state of the two, and he was not reluctant, so he agreed. Zhao Siguang took out an item from the storage bag and handed it to Zhou Xiang: "This thing is a short-distance communication magic weapon, if you find it, you can depict it with spiritual power on it, and the same message will be displayed on the corresponding magic weapon of the two of us." In the same way, if the two of us have something to inform the Taoist, we will also use the same method to summon the Taoist. ”
