The so-called cloud world refers to the place where clouds and mist are generated. The field of vision is not clear and misty, just like the fairy world.
The place is shaded by trees, isolated from the sun, and almost sparsely populated.
Today, there was a group of well-equipped troops walking back and forth among them.
After passing through the continuous meadows that were undulating like ocean waves, the group walked into the depths of the mountains. These people were Xia Tian and his group.
In addition to Xia Tian, Yi Xiaoyin and Zhao Qingqing, there are also Sheng Qiyang from the Holy Hand Sect, Liang Yiding, an old man in Tang suit, Zhu Xuanjing, a Feng Shui master, and their respective assistants or bodyguards.
Three hours ago, they were still bickering and thinking about how to divide the spoils afterwards, but in the end, Xia Tian gave them a shot, and they all became honest one by one.
Xia Tian did not turn them into pure puppets or idiots, he just made them obedient and lead the way.
"How much longer?"
Zhu Xuanjing was the first to reach the bottom of his physical strength, and his physical fitness was not as good as that of the old man in Tang suit. He gasped and asked.
Sheng Qiyang replied: "Just walk ahead for a while and you will reach the entrance."
"Then rest, take a rest."
Zhu Xuanjing raised his finger and pointed at the sky, "It's still early now. The entrance must be opened according to the moonlight. It's useless if you go early."
Sheng Qiyang did not speak, but looked at Yi Xiaoyin. Now they have no say, and they all listen to Yi Xiaoyin in everything they do.
"Then let's rest for half an hour."
Yi Xiaoyin said calmly.
Except for Xia Tian and Zhao Qingqing, everyone else felt like they were hearing the music and sat down on the spot.
Although their physical strength was much better than that of Zhu Xuanjing, they were still exhausted after driving for three hours in the mountains.
While resting, Zhu Xuanjing quietly moved closer to Sheng Qiyang and asked softly: "Who is that kid?"
"I don't know anymore."
Sheng Qiyang shook his head, "I don't have much contact with Professor Pang. She must have hired a master from somewhere. After all, she was almost killed in a tomb ten years ago."
The old man in Tang suit also snorted softly: "I think this old woman clearly wants to swallow the treasure in the tomb. We are still of some use now, but when she really finds the treasure, she will kill us at any time."
"Probably not."
Sheng Qiyang was a little doubtful and said in a low voice: "Although Professor Pang does not act according to common sense, she does not dare to kill us, and she does not have nothing in our hands.
If she really takes action, she may not be able to get any benefits."
"you are too naive."
The old man in Tang suit sneered at Sheng Qiyang's words and even despised his IQ: "With old lady Pang's temperament, since she plans to eat alone, the little handle you have will be of no use."
Zhu Xuanjing scratched his head: "What should we do?
Do you really want to make her wedding clothes?"
"Pooh!"
Sheng Qiyang spat and said in a cold voice: "If it were not for being controlled by others, Sheng would rather die than succumb. That boy's acupuncture skills are really weird."
The old man in Tang suit sighed deeply: "I really didn't expect that boy who looked like a student to have such wonderful acupuncture skills.
Since it can make us obedient, but does not restrict our thoughts, words and deeds at all, it is really terrifying."
"When you say this, I am reminded of someone."
Zhu Xuanjing was suddenly stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Do you remember that twelve years ago, there was a man who was known as the best doctor in the world? He turned the imperial capital upside down and even wiped out the Li family. His acupuncture skills were so magical.
What a skill!"
"Wait a minute, you don't want to say that he is...that person."
A terrible thought flashed through the mind of the old man in Tang suit, and then he shook his head violently: "That man hasn't been seen for more than ten years. I don't know whether he is dead or alive.
Besides, the age doesn’t match up, that person is at least in his thirties, and the kid in front of me is in his early twenties at most.”
"As long as it's not that person."
Zhu Xuanjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little scared.
Sheng Qiyang said with some surprise: "Mr. Zhu, you seem to be very afraid of that person. Do you have any grudges with him?"
"resentment?"
Zhu Xuanjing shook his head repeatedly and said with a bitter smile: "How can people like me have any grudges with him? It's just that ten years ago I worked for a gang called the Seven Brothers, and somehow the gang got that person, a high-ranking member of the gang.
The death was so tragic that I had nightmares for several years."
"Then you are lucky."
The old man in Tang suit snorted softly and said in a low voice: "That man is famous for his vengeance. He didn't kill everyone in your gang, which is already very magnanimous.
Think about the Li family, tsk tsk."
Sheng Qiyang felt that the eyes of Xia Tian and others seemed to have moved over, and his back felt inexplicably cold, and he said: "Stop discussing this, we have been together for a long time, it will arouse suspicion.
If you have anything to do, let’s talk about it in the hole in the tomb.”
"I want to drink ice mountain spring water, what are you doing?"
Zhu Xuanjing suddenly shouted and pushed Sheng Qiyang away.
"Whether you like to drink or not, who do you think you are? I'm not here to serve you anymore!"
Sheng Qiyang also cooperated, cursed a few words, and left.
The old man in Tang suit could only sigh deeply when he saw this. The IQ of these two teammates had been dropped to the horizon, and there was probably no hope.
On the other side, Zhao Qingqing saw these three people gathering together in secret, and said to Xia Tian and Yi Xiaoyin: "The three of them must be doing some conspiracy."
Xia Tian curled his lips: "Good disciple, don't worry, those three idiots can't come up with anything."
"Whatever they want to do, don't worry about it."
Yi Xiaoyin also said: "All we need is to let them lead the way. Once we enter the ancient tomb, they..." "They will be useless."
Zhao Qingqing smiled and said: "Do you want to kill them?"
Yi Xiaoyin said calmly: "That's not necessary. As long as they don't come to provoke us, just let them do whatever they want."
"Then it seems they are dead."
Xia Tian said with a smile.
Zhao Qingqing raised his eyes and looked at the sky: "Master, the scenery here is actually very good, especially the clouds are very beautiful."
"These clouds are actually caused by the transpiration of spiritual energy."
Xia Tian yawned lazily, "It just means that there must be a medium-sized spiritual eye under the ground. The so-called ancient tomb might just be the cave of the immortal cultivator from another world."
Half an hour passed quickly, and the group continued to set off.
When the sky was getting dark, Sheng Qiyang finally pointed to a cave not far away and said: "That's the entrance to the ancient tomb. We have cracked the mechanism in front of it, but things get weirder as we go inside. Everyone, please be careful.
.”
Yi Xiaoyin took a look at the cave entrance. It was really unremarkable. It was no different from the countless ordinary cave entrances in countless mountains. Moreover, it was also covered by vines and weeds. Even if most people saw it, they probably wouldn't be tempted to go in and explore.
interest.
After Sheng Qiyang arrived at the entrance of the cave, he raised his hand to summon Wang Chaofan and asked someone to open a hiking bag. There were some firearms inside: "There are some monsters in there, and self-defense weapons are still indispensable.
Professor Pang, do you think we should distribute it to everyone?"
Although Sheng Qiyang spoke very naturally, his eyes kept looking at Yi Xiaoyin and Xia Tian, obviously seeking their opinions.
"Take it if you want and see what we do."
Xia Tian yawned lazily and didn't take it to heart at all.
"As you wish."
Yi Xiaoyin naturally didn't care either. These firearms were a complete burden to her, Xia Tian and Zhao Qingqing.
After the others got the weapons, they calmed down a little, otherwise they would always feel inexplicably guilty when facing Yi Xiaoyin and the other three.
"I'll go in first, Professor Pang and you will follow, followed by Uncle Ding and Mr. Zhu."
Sheng Qiyang immediately made arrangements, because the entrance to the cave was not big, only one person high, barely enough for two people to walk side by side, so it was unrealistic to rush in all at once.
Yi Xiaoyin said calmly: "Let's do it."
"good."
Sheng Qiyang glanced at the old man in Tang suit and Zhu Xuanjing without leaving any trace, and then took his apprentice Wang Chaofan into the cave first.
Yi Xiaoyin, Xia Tian and Zhao Qingqing followed in.
Zhu Xuanjing thought for a while, and followed Xia Tian not far behind the three of them.
After a while, the old man in Tang suit walked into the cave with his two bodyguards.
Inside the cave, it is extremely cool and humid. Fortunately, the Holy Hand Gate has been operating here for a long time, so there are lights on both walls. Otherwise, ordinary people would definitely be in darkness when they come in and cannot see anything.
"Master, what is that?"
After walking for a while, Zhao Qingqing suddenly raised her hand and pointed at something hanging above her head.
Xia Tian curled his lips and said casually: "It's just a stone."
"That's a stalactite."
After Yi Xiaoyin finished speaking, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly and she said strangely: "Is this actually a cave?"
Sheng Qiyang's voice sounded not far ahead: "There are actually a lot of caves like this in the south. It's not surprising that there are stalactites. If you go inside, you can see many fossils of ancient animals.
Professor Pang, didn't you come here ten years ago, why did you still..." Yi Xiaoyin did not answer, but looked at the stalactites carefully with her beautiful eyes, always feeling that their texture was a bit strange, completely different from the stalactites she knew.
Sheng Qiyang realized that he was asking for trouble and said nothing more.
Unknowingly, everyone walked inside for a while, and the temperature became lower and lower, and water vapor spurted out when they breathed.
Fortunately, the three of them are immortal cultivators in Xia Tian and have no feeling at all about this low temperature environment.
"It's really strange."
But Sheng Qiyang tightened his clothes. He couldn't figure out what kind of physique these three had, so he had to urge his apprentice Wang Chaofan to walk faster: "You clumsy man, hurry up and don't waste everyone's time."
At this moment, Wang Chaofan, who was walking at the front, suddenly let out a shrill scream: "Ah!"
At the same time, a rumbling sound echoed in the cave, as if there was some giant beast running towards them deep in the cave.
