Chapter 231: The Fourth Man

After the three of them pasted the "ground walking charm" on their backs, the hard earth and stones would automatically disperse when they were all over the body, revealing an underground passage that could be passed through. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Diving into the underground passage, the three of them shuttled forward like gophers, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, they were finally blocked by an invisible barrier.

Jiang Ling stomped his feet hard, and the ground under his feet began to sink.

The trio continued to explore deep underground, but no matter how deep they dived, the barriers in front of them still existed.

Niu Zhu raised the mountain axe high, picked up an arc, and slashed at the barrier blocking the way!

With an earth-shattering bang, the underground cave shook violently, and the rubble on the cave wall fell one after another!

Jiang Ling suddenly felt that the sky was spinning in front of him, and he leaned against the cave wall and shouted, "Don't cut down the stupid cow! Do you want to kill us again?"

Niu Zhu hurriedly put away the axe.

At the same time, the shaking in the cave gradually subsided.

Su Ji felt that the three people underground now were like three earthworms trapped in an earthen basin, no matter how desperately they tossed, there was no way to break through that barrier.

Night fell quietly, and the three of them fell asleep again groggily, until they woke up when the rooster crowed, and found them sleeping on the stone ground outside the Jade Void Palace.

Immediately afterward, the same scene reappeared.

Suddenly the fine clear sky was obscured by dark clouds, and rain fell, and an old sheep staggered and paced, and fell to the ground with a convulsion, all as had happened before.

The three of them looked at each other, each with a grimace. In the face of the phenomenon of repetition, no one has a clue.

Su Ji thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's not a way for us to wait here, it's better to see if there are any other people on the mountain." If we can find a fourth person besides us, we might know something. ā€

Jiang Ling said: "I thought of an idea. Although the day repeats itself, what we experience will not be forgotten. We split up to search the mountains. ā€

Su Ji said: "The formation is unpredictable, let's not be too far apart." ā€

Jiang Ling said: "But it can't be too close, otherwise such a big mountain, when will it be searched?

"It's still fifty zhang. Niu Zhu said suddenly.

Jiang Ling said: "Second brother, don't be reckless! With your cultivation, I'm afraid that if you leave us, you will die soon." ā€

Niu Zhu said: "You don't have to worry about me. As long as I walk and sing, you can know I'm okay from fifty feet away. ā€

Su Ji said in surprise, "Second Senior Brother, your idea is good! The White Crane can't spread that far, every time we walk a distance, we use our own shouts to confirm each other's existence, even if we find danger, we can know it as soon as possible." ā€

Jiang Ling looked approving, and said, "Second brother, I can't imagine that you can still come up with such a way." ā€

Niu Zhu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I often played with my father on the mountain, and my father taught me to do this." ā€

After a while, the song of Niu Zhu echoed in the mountains: "Guan Guan Ju Dove went forward, courted in Hezhizhou, My Fair Lady washed clothes, the gentleman embroidered together, and my sister lowered her head when she saw it......"

The song had a strange tone, as ugly as a ghost crying wolf.

Su Ji had the urge to cover his ears several times, even if he didn't understand the rhythm, he knew that Niu Zhu was really incomplete. Niu Zhu's out-of-tune is extremely serious, and in just one song after singing, the tune has already run around the entire Kunlun Mountain three times.

Although Kunlun Mountain is very large, there are not many places where there are people in ordinary times.

The three of them searched almost all the places where there should have been people, but found that there was no one anywhere.

There wasn't a single figure.

It was getting dark, and the three of them walked and walked, and each fell asleep on the ground.

At dawn, the three of them were woken up by the rooster's crowing as before, and woke up bathed in the morning light.

There were only three of them outside the Jade Void Palace, and it seemed that there were only three of them left in heaven and earth.

After waking up, Jiang Ling complained: "Second child, it's good that I knew you were singing yesterday, otherwise I would have thought that I had entered the duck pen." ā€

Niu Zhu said: "What I sing is really so ugly?"

Su Ji sighed, "Your high voice makes me feel that there are a hundred wolves chasing you behind you. ā€

Niu Zhu hung his head in frustration.

Su Ji comforted, "Don't be discouraged, as long as you cultivate to live a long life, you will still surpass many people in singing, at least after 500 years, you should have a little success." ā€

Jiang Ling was puzzled: "Don't you think, it seems that yesterday passed faster than before......

Su Ji and Niu Zhu nodded one after another.

Jiang Ling said: "Could this have anything to do with the second child's singing?"

Niu Zhu said: "The Lord of the Sun Yao Cave asked us to 'get rid of auditory hallucinations', but we didn't hear any strange sounds. ā€

Su Ji said: "There must be, think about it carefully...... Every day, from morning to night, every voice heard. ā€

Jiang Ling sighed: "No, I can't think of it." ā€

Su Ji thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Do you remember, what wake us up every morning?"

Niu Zhu suddenly said: "Chicken, the rooster that announces the dawn!"

Jiang Ling's eyes lit up, "The very clear rooster crow, it's like being around!

Su Ji said: "It seems that the reason for falling into the cycle every day is not the copper plate, but the rooster crow!"

Jiang Ling said: "But how can we not let ourselves hear the rooster crow? It was useless to block our ears when we slept before!"

Su Ji said: "Since it's useless to block your ears, then don't block them." Since the rooster crow can be disturbed, we will drown it with another sound. ā€

Jiang Ling said: "Second child, as long as you hear the rooster crow, you start singing, the louder the better, try to drown out the rooster crow!"

Niu Zhu nodded, "When I sing loudly, I can't hear anything but my own voice!"

While we were talking, the cloudy sky suddenly cleared.

The three of them looked up, and this time it was not an old sheep walking in the distance, but an old man.

The old man was skinny, with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and his expression was indescribably obscene.

The appearance of the fourth person made the three of them vigilant.

Su Ji originally thought that the disciples who entered the room were all young people, but he didn't expect that there would be such an old monk. However, after thinking about it, he felt as if the monk was high, but he was young: Master Wu Ji Crane had a childish face, the Shui Yao Cave Lord looked about twenty years old, and the Yueyao Cave Lord was rejuvenated. It can be seen from this that the monks who are not up to the level of cultivation will look older.

"Who are you?" Niu Zhu asked.

The old man replied: "I am a descendant of the Great Zhou royal family, I have been practicing in Kunlun Mountain for decades, my surname is Ji, my single name is a 'unitary' character, the 'unitary' of the 'Shen Monkey Unitary Chicken' in the zodiac, and the position of the Twelve Lingtai of the Twelve Lingtai, and the Taoist friends call me 'Chicken Lao'." ā€

The old man's voice was as sharp and piercing as a chicken's crow, and Su Ji had never heard such an unpleasant sound.

Jiang Ling asked, "Then should we call you Ji You, or Ji Lao?"

"Whatever, just don't let that little guy sing anymore. Ji Youpi smiled and said: "It is worthy of the three high disciples of the sect master, and it only took three days to think of a way to break the formation." General Li three years ago was trapped in this camp for thirty days. ā€

Jiang Ling said: "Chicken Lao, your carving insect skills have been seen through by us!"

Ji You said: "I still have a way to keep you. The reason why I took the initiative to show up was because there were no cotton balls to block my ears! That little brother's singing voice really killed me, and even the fish I raised sang better than him!"

Jiang Ling could understand the old man's feelings, because listening to Niu Zhu singing did require courage and perseverance.

Su Ji understood, no wonder time passed quickly when Niu Zhu sang, it turned out that because he didn't want Niu Zhu to continue singing, so he quickly ended the day.

Ji You said: "At my age, I don't want to do anything with you young people, as long as you are willing to chat with me, I will let you go." ā€

Jiang Ling was suspicious: "Is it really that simple?"

Ji You nodded.

Su Ji closed his eyes slightly, and he could already see Ji You's thoughts. He remembered that when he dealt with Jiang Xuan before, he used the Green Spirit Nightmare Technique to consume the other party's Xuanqing Qi. Su Ji was well versed in the way of illusion, and he could see that although this formation was somewhat different from the Green Spirit Nightmare Technique, it was also the same way.

"Don't fall for him! This old man wants to delay time!" Su Ji shouted, "The longer we stay in this place, the more Xuanqing Qi in our body will be wasted!"

Ji You couldn't help but shake his body, realized that something was wrong, and turned around to flee.

"Want to run?" Jiang Ling, the golden scale fan in his hand flew out!

Ji You flicked his sleeves and turned into a cloud of red smoke and fled!

An ethereal voice echoed in the mountains: "Although you have passed my level, but the next step, it will not be so easy!"

After hearing these words, the three of them felt that their heads slowly became heavy, a trace of sleepiness inexplicably welled up in their eyes, and their upper and lower eyelids fought uncontrollably.

Su Ji couldn't help but shake his head, trying to sober himself.

However, when he looked up, Ji You was no longer there, only to see the surrounding scenery shattering and falling off like broken porcelain pieces, crackling and shattering into the ground, replaced by a different scene. The three of them saw a new look!
