Chapter 273: The Secret Path

The four disciples were holding torches, apparently the guards in charge of guarding the entrance of the cave, and Di Chen and Lifang were found as soon as they entered, without even the slightest preparation.

The person who was questioning just now was a disciple of the sect-level Fivefold Realm, the eldest of the four guards, who was looking at the two elders of the Death and Emperor Chen with a puzzled face, not long ago, he had witnessed the two elders break out of the enchantment and leave.

The two of them were startled at the same time, looked at each other, Di Chen coughed, and said in a cold voice: "What are you little disciple nagging about?

"This ......" The leading disciple Yichen, although he felt a little strange and a little wronged, but the elder is the elder, the disciple is the disciple, and the seniority and cultivation realm in the middle are very different, and he dare not transgress, so he can only nod his head subserviently.

Li Yan glanced at Di Chen, and quietly gave him a thumbs up, Di Chen glanced at the cave, and was about to raise his feet to go inside, when he suddenly turned his head again and asked the disciple, "Is Elder Yun inside?"

The disciple was relieved again, Elder Yun was in charge of this ore vein, everyone knew that he would not leave the mine easily, how could the elder ask more, but thinking of the scolding he had just received, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Ma, Elder Yun has been inside, do you need the disciple's help to guide the way?"

"Lead the way?" Di Chen was suddenly alert, stared at the leading disciple for a long time, and scolded: "It's not the first time I've come here, and I still need you to lead the way? ”

"Yes, yes, it's the disciples who are stupid, the two elders can rest assured, the disciples and others must be carefully guarded. The leading disciple said tremblingly.

Di Chen snorted coldly, glanced at the death, and slowly entered the cave, staying ten zhang away, only then did he look back at the entrance of the cave, and he could no longer see the four disciples guarding the entrance of the cave.

"That disciple doesn't seem stupid. Leaving the Dead whispered.

"It's not like I've fooled me. Di Chen smiled, and while looking at the cave, he said: "You dare to test me, and you want to show me the way, and it is clear that you are not repaired." ”

"You're doing well, but how do you know you've fooled you? He said with a chuckle as he looked at the brightly lit cave with two torches every ten steps.

Dichen retracted his steps, turned around, and said, "Don't scare me, let me tell you, I'm not scared." ”

Lichen smiled "poof", she knew that Di Chen was imitating the man in black under the mountain before. "I'm not trying to scare you, you should be careful in everything, this place looks like a cave, but there is always a strange feeling, which seems to be a little different from the mine cave in the mouth. ”

"What's the difference?" Dichen looked around, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"This is a natural cave, there is no trace of artificiality, how could this be the case if it were a cave? Liwu analyzed suspiciously.

Hearing the words of separation, Dichen also felt a little weird, but since he had already come here, it was to find out, it was impossible to turn around and leave, otherwise it would be a waste of effort halfway, Dichen didn't like this attitude.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now, since I've already come in, let's find out. Dichen said that she took the lead and walked along the only cave road, leaving the dead helpless, she could only follow behind, and she herself was a little curious, what kind of cat was hidden here.

The cave is very damp, the sound of dripping water is endless, there are all kinds of stone stalactites hanging on the top of the cave, the water droplets drip down the stone, and many sharp stalagmites are formed on the ground, some are meters high, and some even connect with the end of the cave roof, forming a stone pillar, just like Optimus Prime to support the top of the cave.

Some of them flow along the rock wall, forming beautiful and shocking waterfalls over time, even if they are specially carved by artificially it is difficult to achieve such a beauty, and the emperor and the death have to marvel at the magic of nature.

The cave is very long, slowly descending in a slight arc, and every hundred steps there are two disciples standing opposite each other, guarding this road that must be passed in and out.

Emperor Chen and Lixian didn't say much, just nodded in response, and occasionally ordered them to take good care, most of the time they turned a blind eye, looked arrogant, and ignored those disciples.

The road is very long, and the two of them are not walking fast, not because they don't want to, but because they can't. The further they went into the cave, the more eerie it became, and they always felt that every step would be dangerous, so they had to be cautious, feel everywhere along the way, and watch and walk.

The disciples guarding on both sides of the road are getting higher and higher, from the beginning of the king level to the sect level, even the elders of the first level of the emperor can occasionally see a few, Emperor Chen and Li Yan glanced at each other, and became more interested in this cave.

Curiosity kills the cat, but Dichen is not worried at all at the moment, he just wants to find out what invisible secrets are hidden in it as soon as possible, and continue to move forward under the drive of curiosity. Not to mention the death, women are usually more curious than men.

I don't know how long it took, but the road finally came to an end. In fact, it can't be said to be the end, it's just that the original single Yongdao forks in two directions here, and there are actually four people from the Emperor-level Triple Realm guarding here, and they are guarding the two new cave entrances in groups of two.

The two passages seem to be similar, but one is light and one is dark, which has nothing to do with life and death, just a matter of light. The one on the left was pitch black, as if shrouded in a thick black mist, while the one on the right was filled with countless torches, illuminating the corridor as if it were day.

Dichen and Liyan glanced at each other, nodded imperceptibly, and walked to the left.

"I've seen Elder Ma and Elder Qiu. The two emperor-level powerhouses guarding the entrance of the cave on the left saw Emperor Chen and Li Yan approaching, and hurriedly clasped their fists in salute. The person in Dichen's disguise was Elder Ma, and the leading disciple had called him when he entered the enchantment before, and Elder Qiu should be the one who had changed from the dead.

"Well, it's been a great job!" Di Chen said lightly, raising his feet and about to walk towards the dark corridor, but unexpectedly, the two elders stretched out a hand to block him from the outside.

"Is this?" Dichen was half puzzled and half angry.

"Elder Ma, you don't know that you are not allowed to enter here, right?" said one of the elders lightly.

Dichen was silent, did not argue, and did not ask why he couldn't enter, this time he rushed to this road, which already made people a little suspicious, if he asked again, he would definitely be exposed. With his mind racing, Di Chen smiled: "I just want to say hello to the two elders, where I can go and where I can't, how can I not know?"

The elder glanced at Di Chen and Li Yan and said, "Elder Ma is really interesting, didn't you go out before, and sent the things back so quickly?"

"How can it be so fast?" said Dichen with a smile. "We thought it would be a waste of time to run back and forth, so it would be better to bring more at a time and have more time to come out and practice. Okay, I won't bother you, Elder Qiu and I will go and talk to Elder Yun. ”

"Elder Yun has been in the mine over there, you should go find him!" said another emperor-level powerhouse lightly.

"Yes, let's go. Dichen glanced at the dark corridor with a vague gaze, turned around and walked towards the brightly lit corridor on the right, frowned at the funeral, glanced at the corridor on the left, and followed behind Dichen.

The corridor on the right is somewhat similar to the only corridor when you entered, and most of the guards in the middle are king-level high-level and sect-level, and the emperor-level powerhouses are not seen except for the two at the entrance. Emperor Chen and Liyan walked slowly all the way, while carefully looking.

After a long time, a huge space appeared in front of the two of them. This is a space of 100 meters square, dozens of people are standing in the open space, taking out pieces of yuan stones from the storage ring and piling them on the ground, and an old man with a big belly and gray hair is supervising all this.

The Yuan stones on the ground were placed together and stacked into a small mountain, and Di Chen estimated that this alone was no less than 500,000 pieces, but why did Elder Ma and Elder Qiu only carry 100,000 pieces back? Could it be that they were all in the pocket of that Elder Yun?

"Hurry up, hurry up, take out the Yuan Shi quickly, and then continue to enter the mine to mine, the sect sent you out not to stand and be lazy. The pot-bellied old man shouted, and the movements of the disciples' hands sped up. Only then did Dichen see that on the other side of the clearing, there were several small holes side by side, which seemed to be the so-called mine caves.

Di Chen didn't speak first, because he didn't know if the old man was Elder Yun, so he glanced at Li Yan and walked over.

"Elder Ma, Elder Qiu?" The old man looked shocked when he saw Di Chen and Liyan, his face was not very good-looking, and he scolded after a while: "Didn't I let you go back with Yuanshi? Why did you come back after a while?"

When Di Chen heard this, he was sure that he was Elder Yun, and then he said: "Elder Yun, Elder Qiu and I are thinking that instead of running around and wasting time often, it is better to bring more at once, you know, we are not young anymore, and if we don't step up our cultivation, it will be a pinch of loess in a few hundred years, right?"

"You ......" Elder Yun was a little at a loss, when Elder Ma and Elder Qiu came to fetch the Yuan Stone, he said that the mine had only started digging for a short time, and the Yuan Stone Mine was mining slowly, only 100,000 pieces, and now the two of them have just left, and there are more than 500,000 Yuan Stones piled up here.

"Wow, there are so many Yuan Stones, Elder Yun, could it be that the mine cave has penetrated deep into the ore veins?" Di Chen pretended not to see Elder Yun's face, walked up to the pile of Yuan Stones, grabbed two Yuan Stones, and was ecstatic.

"Haha, yes, yes, as soon as you left, a few mines were successful, so the speed was a lot faster. Elder Yun also came down the steps and said with a haha.

Di Chen didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "To have such a big harvest, Elder Yun has made great contributions, with this super large vein, the sect can develop rapidly, and it will soon be able to dominate the Eastern Wilderness, what War God Sect and War Sword Valley, all surrender to our feet." ”

"Yes, yes, this is the luck of our sect, I don't dare to take credit. Elder Yun said modestly.

"Elder Yun was humble. Di Chen looked at the pile of Yuan Stones, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "Elder Yun has been in charge of this vein, providing Yuan Stones for the sect, I will go back with Elder Qiu, I will definitely ask the master for Elder Yun, when Elder Yun is developed, please take care of the junior brother and Elder Qiu." ”

"It should be, it should be. Elder Yun smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "I don't know how many you are going to take back, if it is not enough, the two elders can go into the mine to dig in person, although the elders are not allowed to enter, but what kind of friendship do we have, do you say?"
