Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Thieves' Hearts Are Ruthless
When Zhang Fan woke up, he found himself lying on a cold stone bed, locked in a dark secret room, cold and damp all around, and from time to time a cold wind swept across his cheeks, blowing his face with pain.
"Where am I? Didn't I be saved?" Zhang Fan muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a "crunch" sound sounded, and the glow of the Night Pearl appeared in front of him, and a black-robed man walked in. Zhang Fan hurriedly asked, "Did you save me?" The man shook his head, beckoned to Zhang Fan, and motioned for him to come with him. Zhang Fan was very surprised, and hurriedly got up and followed him away.
After a while, Zhang Fan came to a luxurious cave mansion and saw an old man in a white robe sitting on a large jade chair with his eyes closed, rubbing a string of jade beads in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhang Fan asked, "What are you looking for me?" The man said, "Come with me!" and got up and left. Zhang Fan was slightly angry in his heart, but when he felt that the black-robed man was pushing him, he endured the resentment in his heart and followed the old man away.
After a while, Zhang Fan followed the old man out of the cave, and a stone path appeared in front of him, which was also cold and damp. He walked out along the stone path with the old man, and after a while, he came out of the stone road, and a bleak cold wind blew suddenly in front of him, and he was shivering with cold. Ahead was a gray, boundless abyss, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound echoing in the abyss for a long time, and the sound was like a ghost crying wolf's howl, which was particularly infiltrating.
Zhang Fan hurriedly asked, "Where are you going to take me?" The old man in front of him said lightly: "Of course, it is to leave this bottomless abyss of dead silence." Zhang Fan said again: "Why am I here?" The old man said impatiently: "You fell from above, and we happened to save you." There is a stone gate ahead. We studied for many years, and suspected that it was a passage out, but two people couldn't open it. I'll tell you to try it. Zhang Fan exclaimed: "Is that so?" The old man said: "Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to survive when the next wave of abyssal silence blows up." Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "Okay, good." I believed the old man's words in a daze, and left with him.
Zhang Fan followed the old man along the narrow spiral stone path around the abyss, with the cold stone wall on one side and the bottomless dark abyss on the other. Even if Zhang Fan killed people like hemp, he couldn't help but be a little worried and afraid. This abyss looks too scary, and Zhang Fan has no idea of escaping from here in his heart.
The three of them walked along the stone path for a while. There was a loud rumble ahead. Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh: "It's really strange that there is a waterfall here, isn't it far from the ground?" The old man sighed: "You just came here and don't know the situation, this waterfall is a vast ocean on it." It's just a small river. You look up at the sky. It's just gray and black, and we have to go up along the abyss stone wall, and I don't know what year or month it will take. Zhang Fan said again: "Then how long have you been here, and what do you usually eat?" The old man hesitated slightly when he heard this, and then sighed: "It's been more than 20 years." We were unfortunate enough to fall here, and we usually live off what fell from it. I don't know how the little brother came here?" Zhang Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know how I got here, I was injured and unconscious before. When I woke up, I realized that I had been saved by you. The old man sighed, "Hey." Let's go, the stone gate is ahead. Let's give it a try. The three of them walked forward.
Zhang Fan was full of doubts, and followed the old man to a black gate by the stone wall. Zhang Fan saw at a glance that the gate in front of him was finely carved, and it seemed that it was not made of stone, but seemed to be made of dark iron. A vague pattern is carved above the darkiron gate, which looks like a flying dragon. Zhang Fan was shocked: "Uncle, look, there is a pattern here, it is a dragon." We may have encountered a treasure!" the old man and the black-robed man looked at Zhang Fan in unison when they heard this, which made Zhang Fan feel a little depressed in his heart.
After a moment, the old man smiled and said, "Little brother, the old man has been studying for a long time, this is not a treasure house, but a passage." Zhang Fan didn't believe it in his heart, and asked, "Why did the old man say this? Have you seen something similar before?" The old man stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile: "Of course, when the old man was crisscrossing the Tianyuan Continent, he also visited many secret places, read many ancient books, and knew that this was the imperial road built by the emperor in ancient times to explore the secret land. Normally, the road is closed, and only a special key can be opened. Zhang Fan said: "But we don't have the key." The old man smiled: "Yes, that is the emperor's special dragon and phoenix purple jade pendant." When the little friend fell, the injury was severe, and the old man treated you, and accidentally learned that you had a dragon pendant, so he called you over. ”
Zhang Fan was shocked in his heart, and asked, "How can you mess with my things?" The gray-robed man snorted coldly when he heard this. When Zhang Fan heard this, he turned around and pointed at him, and exclaimed, "You are not dumb!" The old man shouted: "Evil sky, don't be rude." Now everyone is in distress, and it is indeed wrong for us to take the little brother's things before, but we are also in a hurry to leave. Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this, although he was annoyed in his heart, he felt reasonable when he thought about it, and besides, no one would know the origin of Long Pei at all.
The old man smiled and said, "Little brother, come here, let's open the gate together." Hearing this, Zhang Fan suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand to stop him, "Slow!" The old man was surprised: "Little brother, what's wrong!" Zhang Fan asked: "Then have you seen a little girl who fell with me? There is also a sword and a sachet?" The old man shook his head when he heard this, Zhang Fan lost his voice and said: "Really not!" The old man's face changed slightly, and he nodded violently, and said, "Little brother misunderstood." We haven't seen the little girl, but your black sword and sachet are here in decay. Zhang Fan was furious in his heart, he didn't expect this old guy to be so shameless, but he didn't immediately turn his face with him, so he said lightly: "That's what my sister gave me, you better pay me back." Before the old man could speak, the black-robed man interjected: "Ba...... Eight Elders, you can't give him things, otherwise he won't open the stone gate. Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, and gradually realized that he seemed to have been tricked.
Although Zhang Fan didn't show any expression on his face, there was a little cold light hidden in the depths of his eyes. He became suspicious of the two of them, and although he didn't want to believe the vague thoughts in his heart, he became wary of the old man and the black-robed man. The old man took the lead in breaking the slightly solemn atmosphere between the three of them, and said with a smile: "Little brother." We're just curious, nothing, hehe. After all, it's been a long time since we've seen outsiders. Zhang Fan said lightly: "Trouble the old man to return the things to me." The old man smiled: "Little brother, you don't have to be polite. I'll give it to you. As he spoke, he took out a black sword and a bag from his arms and handed them to Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan took the things, quickly put them away, looked at the old man and asked, "The old man was empty-handed before, where did he take out the things?" The old man smiled and said: "Little brother, don't you pretend to be confused? The old man also luckily got the ancient treasure storage bag, don't you have one?" Zhang Fan sneered in his heart when he heard this, and secretly said that the old man was very not simple. And the origin is mysterious, and I don't know how many words I said to myself before are true.
The old man urged, "Little brother, let's open the stone gate together." Zhang Fan nodded. Although the two old men are afraid of the congenital peak masters, at this time, the black sword is in hand, the dragon armor is on the body, and the storage bag is close to the body. Indeed, I am not afraid of them.
He stepped forward with the old man. Come to the gate. The old man took out two purple delicate jade pendants, one dragon and one phoenix, and put them into the grooves on the stone door, and then, took out two jade bottles, poured out the blood to infiltrate the jade pendants and grooves, and suddenly a burst of golden light shot out from the dark iron gate, stabbing the old man and the black-robed man hurriedly dodged.
"Quick, enter the true qi into the jade pendant. The old man roared. Seeing this, Zhang Fan came to the side of Yu Pei. Gently input a trace of true dragon purple qi into it, and the old man also input a trace of pale yellow true qi. Suddenly, the dragon-shaped jade pendant let out a dragon groan. The phoenix-shaped jade pendant is silent. Seeing this, the old man's face was as pale as paper, and he shouted, "Luan Feng, you come and try." The black-robed man stepped forward to replace the old man with a burst of pink true qi, and then a luan roar sounded, but the door did not move. Luan Feng hurriedly said: "Eighth elder, no, call Miss, I'm not a phoenix." When the old man heard this, he shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Fan's heart was turbulent at this time.
He pushed Luan Feng away violently, grabbed the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, and rushed out. The old man shouted: "Little thief, you dare!" Zhang Fan said angrily: "You old fellow, dare to deceive the young master, look for death!" As he spoke, he killed the old man who was blocking the road in front of him with a sword, and suddenly a purple sword qi slammed into the old man, knocking him to the side of the stone road, and his life and death were unknown. Luan Feng came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Elder Batian!" Zhang Fan shouted: "You slut!" said that no matter what pity and cherishing the jade, he was going to slash at Luan Feng with a sword.
"Zhang Fan, stop!" At this time, a coquettish cheer sounded. Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, he held back the black sword that was about to strike, and when he looked up, he saw Xuanyuan Xianxian coming, and he was about to ask questions, and saw several yellow lights shooting towards him. Zhang Fan said angrily: "Slut!" As he spoke, he immediately held his sword to resist, but the Dao sword light had already fallen on Zhang Fan. The white robe on Zhang Fan's body instantly turned into crumbs, revealing a piece of golden chain mail.
"True Dragon Armor!" a loud shout rang out. Zhang Fan was covered in injuries, came back to his senses, and shouted: "Thief!" said as he desperately sent out purple light to kill the enemy in front of him. Suddenly, the purple light of the Dao Dao submerged into the black-clothed people on both sides of the stone road, and one by one the black-clothed people were either killed or injured, or fell into the abyss, and the screams were continuous. Zhang Fan's heart was full of furious flames, killing the enemy, horizontally or obliquely, or chopping or chopping, accompanied by blood spurting out one after another, and one by one the innate masters died.
"Zhang Fan, stop!" Xuanyuan's slender and poignant pleading came again. Zhang Fan said angrily: "Slut!" said and continued to kill. Xuanyuan Xianxian shouted: "Zhang Fan, don't you want Qingluo anymore?" Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard this, his movements slowed down slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is it!"
At this time, Xuanyuan Xianxian, who was dressed in a red dress, came to the edge of the stone cave, and the black-clothed people around him: "Miss!" Xuanyuan Xianxian shouted: "You stand down!" Everyone retreated.
The old man lay motionless on the ground, and Luan Feng ran to Xuanyuan Xianxian to wait. Zhang Fan ignored the dead corpses on the ground and the bloody atmosphere around him, looked at the beauty in front of him, and said coldly: "You saved me, just to deal with me like this?" Xuanyuan sobbed: "Zhang Fan, I just asked you to open the stone gate, why did you fight at every turn?" Didn't you kill enough yesterday?" Zhang Fan said: "Don't talk nonsense, where is Qingluo?" Xuanyuan Xianxian said: "Only if you help us open the stone gate, can we see Qingluo." Zhang Fan was both sad and angry in his heart, and shouted: "Do you want to go to the treasure of the ancient emperor?" Xuanyuan Xianxian stepped forward step by step, and said lightly: "I can't help it, otherwise my parents will always be trapped in the burial dragon abyss." ”
Zhang Fan was annoyed in his heart, but he endured it again and asked, "I'll help you, will you release Qingluo?" Xuanyuan said, "Yes." As he spoke, he approached Zhang Fan again.
Zhang Fan was speechless when he heard this, Xuanyuan Xianxian stepped forward directly, held Zhang Fan's hand and said, "Zhang Fan, this qiē is all a misunderstanding, Luan Feng and they deceived you." Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this, his heart was a little calm, and then he felt that he seemed to want to sleep, and he was horrified, and suddenly reached out and pinched Xuanyuan Slender's neck, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Why?" Seeing this, all the people in black stepped forward and shouted: "Let Miss go, otherwise we will kill you!" Zhang Fan didn't care about anything else, dragged Xuanyuan Slender to the edge of the cliff, and shouted: "You all retreat, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill her!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Ah, General......" Suddenly a cry came from the air. Zhang Fan saw a person falling from a high altitude at a glance, and immediately understood that Qingluo was thrown into the abyss by them, and shouted: "Shameless!" As he spoke, he dropped Xuanyuan Slender Silk, and shot out of the waterfall violently at his feet, flying towards Qingluo.
At this time, an old man shouted mercilessly: "Throw stones!" Suddenly a rain of stones fell from the sky. In mid-air, Zhang Fan just hugged Qingluo and wanted to shoot towards the abyss, but before he could move, he was taken into the misty abyss by Shi Yu. (To be continued......)
