Chapter 50: Weird
In the dark, Yun Xiaoxie didn't know when there were three more yellow talismans in his hand, and then he slowly turned his head and silently counted the eighteen dark passages behind him, counted them three times, and after determining the location of the seventh hole on the left, he gently pulled Han Xuemei's sleeve.
The mysterious man seemed to be aware of it, and looked towards Yun Xiaoxie and the two of them, and at this moment, the three talismans in Yun Xiaoxie's hand shot out in the air, shooting the three of them away, and suddenly there were three loud bangs, and countless flying flames turned into a rain of fire and fell. The mysterious man retreated with the Wonderful Fairy Blood Boy to ward off the flames.
These three people are all first-class cultivation masters, and they extinguished the galloping fire rain in an instant, and when they looked at it, the two teenagers who were originally standing in the deepest part were gone, and there were eighteen holes behind them, and they didn't know which one the two of them got into when they were in chaos.
The three of them didn't chase after them for the first time, but were defending against the people around them, and the mysterious man holding the big flag looked a little anxious, and said hoarsely: "Both, do you really want to get along with me here?"
Miao Xianzi chuckled and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood, how can I, a weak woman, dare to get along with a master like Your Excellency?"
"Are you a weak woman?" the mysterious man smiled hoarsely and said, "If you are a weak woman, then I am afraid that there will be no more women in the world." ”
Miao Xianzi smiled undiminishedly, and she didn't care about the meaning of the mysterious man's words, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, why are you chasing and killing those two Shushan disciples?"
The mysterious man said slowly, "This is my business. ”
Miao Xianzi stretched out his hand and said, "They seem to have entered one of the caves, and you still don't want to chase them?"
The mysterious man remained motionless, and the pair of red eyes under the mask stared at the wonderful fairy, like an emotionless beast looking at its prey.
He said hoarsely: "The labyrinth here is no less than the Qilin Mountain Ten Thousand Fox Ancient Caves, those two young Shushan juniors rashly broke in, it is difficult to find a way out, what is the difference between me chasing and not chasing?"
Miao Xianzi and Blood Gongzi were both stunned, and the two of them slowly walked back a few steps, and the mysterious man also turned around, and the eighteen cave passages on the way to and from swept away, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
After the mysterious man disappeared, the entire cave fell into death-like darkness again, and after a while, there was a faint voice from the blood boy: "What do you think?"
Miao Xianzi turned her eyes and said, "What do you think?"
The Blood Master snorted and said, "It seems that I asked you first." ”
Miao Xianzi smiled: "I'm afraid that the two of us have the same opinion." ”
After saying that, the two of them did not hesitate any longer, and at the same time strode out and walked towards the seventh cave on the left side of the opposite side. And that cave is the one that Yun Xiaoyi and Han Xuemei got into just now.
In the dark cave, there seemed to be a pair of invisible ghost hands in control, the further down, Yun Xiaoxie obviously felt that the air became colder and colder, when out of the long passage, they still entered a huge low cave, as marked on the map, thirty-six cave entrances like pitch-black ghost eyes appeared on the side of the cave.
Yun Xiaoye took out the map and compared it, and said, "The twelfth on the right!"
Han Xuemei counted twice, pointed to a pitch-black cave and said, "It's here." ”
Without hesitation, the two of them plunged into the darkness. Not long after, the two of them stood in front of the seventy-two cave entrances, the temperature of this one had almost turned into ice, and even if they were cultivators, they felt a trace of oppression.
Yun Xiaoye said excitedly: "This is the last fork in the road, the first cave on the left!"
Han Xuemei nodded, she didn't say anything, so far she could only follow Yun Xiaoye to go inside, not because she was afraid of the three demon demons behind her, but because she had a trace of luck in her heart, in case what Yun Xiaoxiao said was true, in case this ancient sheepskin map was true, in case the map of the five decays of heaven and man was really preserved in the depths of this ancient cave, then it was very likely that she would change her life against the sky!
In the end, people are not grass, trees, mountains and rocks, everyone has their own pursuits. Mortals pursue wealth and health, and cultivators pursue the path of immortality. This kind of pursuit is a kind of desire. In the face of desire, there is no difference between a cultivator and a mortal.
Han Xuemei's heart, which was already desperate, slowly woke up in front of that little bit of desire like a ghostly fire at this moment. After all, she couldn't give up **** and asked, after all, she was just a girl who saw a glimmer of hope in despair.
When they stepped onto the last cave, their bodies shook at the same time, and a piercing chill rushed towards them, as if they were in a cold pool of ice. Yun Xiaoxie was excited and nervous in her heart, and unconsciously suddenly grabbed Han Xuemei's hand, her hand was cold for some reason.
Han Xuemei glanced down, didn't speak, and didn't shake off the palm that Yun Xiaoyi caught, she just sighed silently and walked forward without saying a word.
The dark cave, silent, slowly resounded with the footsteps of two people, echoing in the cave as if there had been no light since ancient times.
The cold air is getting thicker and thicker, and Yun Xiaoye also clearly feels that the white and cold palm he is holding tightly is trembling slightly, in fact, he is also trembling, this underground world is terrible, and it is also cold and terrifying.
The white brilliance of the Xuanfrost Divine Sword seemed to be suppressed by a mysterious force, from originally illuminating the surrounding zhangyu, now it can only illuminate the surrounding five feet, this mysterious and unknown darkness actually has a strange energy that can suppress the light.
This passage is very long, from four feet wide to large, wider, after Yun Xiaoxiao and Han Xuemei walked in, about two pillars of incense, this passage actually became seven zhang wide, the two of them leaned on the right stone wall to walk forward, they couldn't see the stone wall on the left at all, a fear of unknown darkness surged into their hearts.
Yun Xiaoye stopped and said, "It's so weird here, we didn't make a mistake, right?"
Han Xuemei frowned and said, "The map says that there is a cave on the far left, and we did go to the leftmost one." ”
Yun Xiaoxiao looked to the left, it was black, and he couldn't see anything, and he said softly: "Do you feel that this passage has been getting wider and bigger?"
Han Xuemei nodded slightly, and said, "I have long noticed that this place is very strange, not only is it extremely cold, but there is also a mysterious power to suppress the light, let's go a little further and try it." ”
It's a long walk again, this passage is almost endless, for a long time, the two of them clinged to the edge of the stone wall on the right and walked forward, I don't know how wide this passage has become, Yun Xiaoxiao counted the time, the two have walked for more than two hours since they came in, according to the speed of the two at the moment, at least thirty miles have been walked, and the distance is almost from Luotu Mountain to Ciyun Nunnery......
In the middle of the two, they went to see how wide the passage became, but they walked to the left for nearly a hundred zhang and didn't touch the stone wall, and the white light of the Xuanshuang Divine Sword had been pressed from five feet to one foot, which could almost be said to be just a small point of light.
An unprecedented fear surged into their hearts, and just as the two of them were almost about to collapse, the light of the Xuanshuang Sword suddenly slowly expanded again. Han Xuemei immediately noticed the subtle changes in the Xuanshuang Sword and said, "It seems that we are going to go out." ”
Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, the Xuanshuang Sword that had been suppressed for two hours gradually recovered, and finally completely restored the illumination range of a square circle, and the stone wall on the left side also slowly appeared, and it turned into a five-foot-wide passage again.
After a while, the two walked out of the passage and came to a dark cave, standing at the entrance of the cave, they did not have any expressions of joy, but their eyes showed an incredible look, in the huge cave in front of them, there were seventy-two holes!
Yun Xiaoye opened his mouth and said slowly, "We seem to have returned to the starting point?"
Han Xuemei's face was as cold as frost, and she said, "Yes, we walked in the passage for nearly three hours, and for some reason we returned to the original starting point. ”
After Yun Xiaoye took out the sheepskin map and got it wet, he blew the fire fold and looked at it from the back, according to the new map on the back of this ancient sheepskin map, as long as he walked the right way, he could go all the way to the deepest treasure location, but for some reason, it seemed that he had returned to the last fork in the road.
The cave in front of me is very huge, the area is at least about 1,000 zhang, the dome is also nearly 100 zhang high, there are seventy-two holes in the front and back, and Yun Xiaoxiao and the two of them came out of a hole in the back.
After looking at it for a while, Han Xuemei suddenly said: "This map is different from the environment here. ”
Yun Xiaoye was stunned for a moment and said, "What's different." ”
Han Xuemei pointed to the map and said: "As soon as this map came in, there were nine forks, then eighteen forks, then thirty-six, and finally seventy-two, but I clearly remember that there were nine caves at a fork in the road we encountered when we first came in, and the second fork was still nine, and it was not divided into eighteen until the third, that is to say, there is one more place with nine forks in the underground world than on the map." ”
As soon as Yun Xiaoye was reminded by her, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that as Han Xuemei said, they had experienced two nine forks in the road at the beginning, and there was only one on the map!
One wrong step, all the games are lost, this huge underground world still doesn't know how many forks in the road, it seems that he and Han Xuemei took the wrong path from the beginning, trapped in this underground labyrinth, and it is only difficult to get out.
He sat down on the cold ground in a decadent manner, watching the water stains on the parchment map in his hand dry little by little, and the map on the front with dense branches and red dots slowly reappeared.
Han Xuemei also seemed to be a little desperate, sitting beside Yun Xiaoxie without saying a word, silently thinking about her thoughts, only the Xuanshuang Divine Sword in her hand was still slowly releasing white light.
"People, after all, they can't change their lives against the sky!" she sighed slightly in her heart, secretly sad.
