Chapter 249: Underground Wonderland
"Someone is missing, it's the eldest son of Gaofu. Yoo sat up from the mat.
Xu Mo said indifferently: "It has nothing to do with us, don't meddle in things." ”
Hongxian interjected: "Uncle Xu, could it be that the case? Decades ago, Guangling Daoren and his apprentice also disappeared suddenly. ”
"It must be. Liu Zhenzhen became frightened when she heard this, and raised her voice, "Coachman, coachman." ”
The coachman, sleepy-eyed, asked in the corner, "Girl, what's the matter?"
"Someone is missing, is it going to happen again the old things of the Guangling Dao people back then?" asked Liu Zhenzhen.
"Someone is missing?" said the coachman, who seemed taken aback, "I have never heard of such a thing in years. Who's missing, is it really missing?"
"It's the eldest son of Gaofu, some people say he's gone. Red Line added.
The coachman smiled, "Don't worry, girl, maybe it's just a matter of getting out of the way." ”
Xu Mo sensed it with his heart, and the spiritual consciousness of his sixth sense was released, and he didn't notice the slightest dangerous aura. He had a weakness in his sixth sense, which he had to sense in advance when danger was about to befall him.
At this time, I suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard, and someone shouted an order, "Look everywhere to see if the eldest prince has gone somewhere?"
One person answered: "Steward Zhou, there are also guests in the side hall, why don't you go and ask them first?"
Of course, this is what Xu Mo said. I only heard the housekeeper say that week: "Sun San, Li Si." Go and ask. Then he raised his voice, "The others are looking around." ”
Dozens of people responded with a bang, and searched everywhere. Two footsteps came towards the side hall and stood still in front of the door, one of them holding a lantern in his hand, and the other reached out and knocked on the door, and then asked, "Have you seen our eldest prince?"
Liu Zhenzhen said: "I haven't seen it, your eldest son hasn't been seen for a long time, do you want us to help find it?"
The man with the lantern lifted it up and shone it in all parts of the side hall. Shine all over the corner. I didn't see anyone hiding. Another replied, "Thank you for your kindness, no need." ”
The two of them retreated together. That week, the butler chased after him and met him halfway. asked. "What do they say, have you seen the eldest prince?"
One of them replied: "They said no. I have taken a picture in the side hall, but I haven't seen the eldest prince. ”
That week, the housekeeper instructed, "Look elsewhere." The three of them searched elsewhere together.
Xu Mo stood up and pulled under the cushion under him. Moved closer to Yoo Jung-jeong and the red line, and lay down again. The spiritual mind of his sixth sense can sense itself in advance when danger is coming. If the danger befalls him, he is not afraid, but it is a little troublesome to fall on the second daughter. Therefore, it is closer to each other, and it is also convenient to protect. Then he said, "It's none of our business, let's sleep." ”
said this in his mouth, but he didn't dare to sleep seriously. Closing his eyes slightly, the psychic hearing released the luke, listening to the movements of the entire Tongyuan Temple. It's a pity that this Tongyuan Temple has no other abnormal movement except for the voices and footsteps of the people in the high mansion.
Hongxian sat up, looked at Liu Zhenzhen, and glanced at Xu Mo, "Uncle Xu, are you really asleep?"
Liu Zhenzhen was still sitting on the mat, glanced at Xu Mo, and said unhappily: "Can you sleep here?"
Hongxian persuaded: "Sister Zhenzhen, don't blame him. Then he said to Xu Mo: "Uncle Xu, I think we should take a look everywhere." ”
Xu Mo waved his hand, "No." Under the influence of his psychic hearing, whether he went out to see whether he was out of the way, the results were almost the same.
The coachman said: "For decades, this kind of thing has never happened, and that tall boy may have walked out of the road by himself." ”
At this time, I suddenly heard someone in the courtyard shouting again: "Come on, come on, come on, Aunt Fourteen, Aunt Fourteen is gone." ”
Footsteps were chaotic, and dozens of people ran towards the sound at the same time. Liu Zhenzhen couldn't sit still, and said loudly: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
Hongxian also said: "Uncle Xu, let's go together." ”
"Okay. Seeing this scene, Xu Mo had to get up from the mat and walk towards the courtyard with the second daughter. Out of the side hall, follow the direction of the sound, and walk towards the main hall.
At the gate of the main hall, there were already more than a dozen people talking around a young woman of seventeen or eighteen. I only heard the housekeeper of the Gao Mansion ask loudly: "Sixteenth aunt, why didn't the fourteenth aunt disappear?"
The young woman's face was full of horror, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a corner of the main hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Just now, I and the fourteenth aunt looked for other places, and suddenly remembered that the eldest prince might have returned, so I walked towards the main hall. When she was about to reach the main hall, the fourteenth aunt said, 'Sixteenth sister, let's go faster,' and quickened her pace, so she was in front and I was behind. She...... She...... Aunt Fourteen walked around that corner......"
As he spoke, he took a step back, obviously terrified of that corner, and then said, "By the time I walked over, Aunt Fourteen was gone. ”
Steward Zhou said in disbelief: "Aunt Sixteen, do you mean that Aunt Fourteen is missing in that corner?"
Aunt Sixteen nodded solemnly. Everyone looked at the corner together, Steward Zhou was bold and took a few steps forward, he was shocked by Aunt Sixteen's words, he didn't dare to get too close, he stood still a few steps away, looked left and right at the corner, and didn't see the slightest abnormality, so he said, "This ...... Nothing. As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Aunt Sixteen suspiciously.
Aunt Sixteen's face was pale, and her sense of fear was still there, and she didn't seem to notice that Steward Zhou was doubting herself.
"Come to Shun, come to Shun. Another voice suddenly shouted, and said loudly: "Laishun, where have you been?" Laishun is gone, butler, Steward Zhou, Laishun is also gone. ”
Steward Zhou scolded, "Laifu, be quiet, I heard you, where did you go?"
Nafu said fearfully: "I don't know how to go, he was still by my side just now, and suddenly ...... Suddenly it was gone. ”
All of a sudden. Everyone was shocked, and some of the ladies couldn't help but scream loudly in fear.
"Uncle Xu, it's so weird. Red Line whispered, and quietly pulled out the short sword.
Liu Zhenzhen unconsciously moved closer to Xu Mo, "This is the old thing of Guangling Dao people. ”
Xu Mo couldn't help frowning, when the danger happened just now, his sense of hearing, smell, and sixth sense were all released, but he didn't feel any abnormal movement.
That week, the housekeeper said, "Don't panic, let's get together." ”
As he spoke. The hall suddenly moved. It was as if suddenly there was life, turned into a living object, and squeezed towards them.
"What the hell is this?" cried the butler that week.
"It's a youkai, run away. I don't know who screamed. Everyone else was reminded. Scatter and flee.
"The house is alive. To eat people. Another shouted.
"This ...... What is this?" Yoo Jung-jung was frightened and froze on the ground, forgetting to move.
Red Line raised her dagger. Shouting: "Who, who's there?"
Xu Mo stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Zhenzhen and protected her. If you don't think about it, it's a whip of the heart. But the great hall was a dead thing, and it did not move when it received this whip. Xu Mo's psychic hearing released the cloud, and he didn't hear any other movement in the hall.
"Hit you. With a flick of the red hand, the short sword suddenly flew out, as if controlled by an invisible hand, and stabbed down from top to bottom, landing on the ridge of the roof. There was a loud bang, like a blast, and the ridge of the roof exploded, breaking a large hole.
But the hall was not affected by this, and still rushed forward.
"Get up!" Red Line pointed at it, and the dagger flew up and down, stabbing at the wall, which was also blasted with a hole.
Xu Mo pulled Liu Zhenzhen back and shouted, "Who is making trouble?"
The red line said: "Uncle Xu, there is no one, it is the house that lives." "Manipulate the dagger and strike it again.
Xu Mo didn't believe that the house was alive, and decided that someone was making trouble. But his psychic hearing released the slur, but he couldn't see where the people were.
The people of Gaofu ran out of the Taoist temple and ran back from outside the temple, and everyone looked like six gods and no owner, like flies on their brows, scurrying around. I only heard someone shouting: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's time to run to the underworld." ”
Another person said: "This is the underworld, we are all dead." ”
Xu Mo grabbed a person casually and asked, "You are gone, why did you come back again?"
The man was in a hurry, "Let go of me, let go of me." "Push hard and rush out.
Xu Mo refused to let go, and asked again, "What's out there?"
The man said loudly: "You will know the way when you go out and see, let me go." ”
Xu Mo let go of him, and the man ran towards the back of the Taoist temple, and disappeared in an instant.
"Outside...... What's out there?" Liu Zhenzhen felt the fear, and held Xu Mo's hand tightly, not daring to let go.
The red line attacked repeatedly, but to no avail, and the hall still rushed forward.
Xu Mo said: "Red line, leave it alone, let's go out and have a look." ”
"That's good, Uncle Xu. Red Line agreed, stretched out his hand, and the short sword was withdrawn.
Xu Mo pulled Liu Zhenzhen and walked out first, and the red line followed closely behind them. The distance between the gate and the main hall was not far, and the three of them reached the gate in a few steps. Standing in the doorway and looking out, all I saw was pitch black.
There was a forest outside, but at this time, the forest was gone. Not only the woods, but also the entire Taoist temple, there was not even anything, only a black mass.
It was pitch black and dark, and even Xu Mo's psychic vision couldn't see anything.
"How can this be?" said Yoo Jung-jeong, her voice trembling.
Xu Mo tentatively took a few steps forward, and soon disappeared into the darkness, but it seemed to be blocked by a sticky mass and he couldn't walk through.
"Uncle Xu, come back quickly, Uncle Xu. Seeing that Xu Mo's figure was submerged in the darkness, the red line couldn't see it, and screamed anxiously. Liu Zhenzhen still grabbed his hand and pulled him back hard, "You come back, come back quickly." ”
Xu Mo had to retreat from the darkness, and when he reached this point, even he was confused, "How can this be?"
After thinking about it, he said, "Let's go back and have a look." ”
Liu Zhenzhen said: "There is a problem with the hall. ”
Xu Mo's heart suddenly moved, "Let's enter the main hall and have a look." "I remembered that there was nothing strange about the hall except that it could move. And it's moving. It's also quite slow, as if it's deliberately scary.
Liu Zhenzhen was taken aback, "How can that be? ”
Xu Mo said: "If you are afraid, stay outside, let the red line protect you, and I will go in alone." ”
Liu Zhenzhen glanced at the red line, hesitated in her heart, but she couldn't let go of her heart, and finally said, "I'll go with you." ”
Hongxian also wanted to follow in to have a look, and said hurriedly: "Uncle Xu." I'll go too. ”
Xu Mo nodded. "Then let's go together. ”
The three of them returned to the temple, and the hall was still moving. Xu Mo walked to the door of the main hall and glanced into the hall. This hall is much larger than the side hall, especially on the sides of the main hall. There are also several houses. You can't see it all at a glance.
"Let's go inside. Xu Mo held Liu Zhenzhen with one hand. Holding the red line in one hand, he walked towards the hall. After entering the main hall, Yoo Zhenzhen saw lanterns hanging on the walls of the main hall. Pick one up and look around. The hall was very deep and far away, and in the middle was a long walkway, with large pillars on both sides of the walkway, and the altar at the end was as empty as the side hall.
Xu Mo took the two girls and first looked around the surrounding walls, which were full of murals depicting characters from various myths and legends, and there was nothing unusual about them. Then go inward, until you reach the altar.
That demeanor had long been dilapidated, and there was no problem with it. But there was a flower seat next to it, and the seat was covered with dust.
Liu Zhenzhen said: "Guangling Daoist preaching, it should be in this hall, this seat, most of them are Guangling Daoist sitting. ”
Hongxian casually touched the seat, stretched out his hand to push, and exclaimed, "It's so heavy." ”
"Let me see. Xu Mo let go of the two women, pressed his right hand on the seat, and there was a chill from the seat, which was actually made of steel. He then pushed slightly, and the seat seemed to be welded dead, and it didn't move.
Xu Mo added a few percent of his strength and pushed again, but the seat still didn't move. Put your hands on the seat at the same time, push hard, and the seat still doesn't move. He tried to spin it, and then he heard a squeak.
It seemed that the organic bracket was touched, and Xu Mo was overjoyed. Liu Zhenzhen shouted, "There is a problem with this seat. ”
Xu Mo rotated hard, and the lotus seat was slowly unscrewed like a screw, revealing a hole underneath, which was also dark.
Xu Mo said: "You guys wait here, I'll go down and have a look." ”
Liu Zhenzhen said: "Let's go down together." ”
Hongxian also said: "Yes, Uncle Xu, let's go down together." You're not here, in case something happens, I may not be able to protect Sister Zhenzhen. ”
Xu Mo was worried that after going down, someone blocked the entrance of the cave and couldn't get out, so he immediately said: "No, we have to keep someone here, otherwise when we go down, someone will block the entrance of the cave, and it will be troublesome." ”
Yoo Zhenzhen proposed: "Let the coachman watch." ”
The red line said: "Let the tiger watch." ”
Xu Mo thought for a moment, "Let's let them come together." ”
When he went out of the main hall and returned to the side hall, the coachman was actually frightened, and after waking up, he pretended to be confused and refused to go to the main hall.
Xu Mo had no choice but to summon the tiger over and watch. There are stairs in the cave, Xu Mo should go down first, followed by Liu Zhenzhen, and the last is the red line.
The cave seemed to be very deep, and the three of them had been walking for a long time, as if they were descending a mountain, and Xu Mo felt that it was at least a few hundred meters.
A few hundred meters later, it suddenly brightened, and it seemed that he had arrived in another world. At a glance, you can see distant mountains, near water, and a purple bamboo forest in front of you. A small single-plank bridge was crossed over the water. It was a sunny day, and the sun could be seen, but there was a thin layer of smoke everywhere.
Liu Zhenzhen was surprised and said, "Where is this? Is it a paradise?"
The red line also said: "How can there be such a place? This kind of scenery is almost catching up with our Tianshan Yutai." ”
Xu Mo said: "Let's go over and have a look." ”
The three of them continued to walk down, and walked many more steps, until they finally came down to the ground and looked back at the steps. It felt as if I had come down from a cliff.
Below the cliff is a meadow, where deer, sheep, and cows are grazing, and they are not afraid of people. Seeing Xu Mo and his party, he was not frightened and dodged.
Xu Mo was even more curious, "Let's take a look into the depths, there is a bridge here, there must be someone's home." ”
Liu Zhenzhen threw down the lantern, and the three of them walked forward hand in hand, to the river, and looked into the water, the level was quiet and clear, it was really like a big mirror, reflecting the reflection of people, and every minute was there. Liu Zhenzhen and Red Line couldn't stop admiring.
The three of them walked across the single-plank bridge and arrived at the purple bamboo forest, where there was a path leading to the depths of the bamboo forest, and they didn't know how far away.
The three of them followed the path and continued to walk forward, and after about ten minutes, they came out of the purple bamboo forest, and there was a small courtyard surrounded by green vines. The courtyard gate was open, and inside were several bamboo huts, on which were hung grapevines and purple grapes.
Liu Zhenzhen exclaimed: "It's really a fairyland on earth, who lives here?"
Xu Mo had already heard someone in the room, and hurriedly said, "Be quiet." ”
The red line shook his short sword and proposed, "Uncle Xu, let's go in." ”
"Don't know if it's friend or foe, don't be reckless. Xu Mo scolded in a low voice, before he came down, he thought that there must be some evil place under this earth. After coming down, when I saw this fairyland-like place, I couldn't help but doubt my speculation.
Liu Zhenzhen said: "Knock on the door to see, whether it is friend or foe, and when he comes out, he will know the truth." ”
Before she came down, her heart was still full of fear, but when she saw this place, the fear in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she thought: How evil can the people who live in this kind of place be?
Without waiting for Xu Mo to agree, he reached out and knocked on the courtyard door, Xu Mo wanted to stop it, but he couldn't do it too soon.
After the knock on the door, a young woman's voice immediately came from the bamboo house, sounding a little surprised, "You're here?"
There was a soft creak at the door, and the man came out of the house as he spoke, and sure enough, it was a young woman, about twenty years old, dressed in a white veil, and extremely beautiful.
When he saw Xu Mo and his party, he was obviously stunned, "Huh......! , not the head of Guangling Dao, who are you?" (to be continued......)
