After the drop reached at least a hundred feet, the two of them saw the bottom. They both landed on a pool and stood on the water, drifting with the current, with the sound of flowing water behind them.
The two of them used glowstones in their hands to illuminate the water below their feet. There seemed to be no bottom below, and there seemed to be a monster hiding at any time, ready to open its huge mouth to devour it.
What attracted their attention even more was the narrow and steep underground space, which made it difficult to see the outline. The mountain walls that could be seen were steep and rugged, and there were no roads that could be walked around. The water flow was unknown under the Gobi.
Where.
After they were a little far away from the water pool, Yu Qing returned his long sword to its sheath, took out another stick of incense and lit it. Watching the movement of the smoke, the two of them continued to move forward along the current.
The water flow begins to twist and turn deep underground.
After traveling a long way, the two of them, who had not found anything after an unknown amount of time, saw another hole where water poured out of a high drop.
The two brothers looked at each other and jumped down again. This time it was like falling between two walls, a water wall and a stone wall. They were still connected in some places and had not been completely cut by the flowing water. It took a while.
Only then did they see the stone wall disappear, continue to fall for a while, and the two of them landed on a pool of water again.
This time, the height of the drop is probably more than two hundred feet deep, and it is also much more open. With the light from the fluorite in my hand, I can't see the edge at all, and the waves refracted by the water surface are like ghosts.
The two continued to walk on the waves. After getting away from the noise of the water behind them, the water surface in front gradually became smooth and calm. The sound of tinkling water droplets could occasionally be heard in the empty silence, which was clear and sweet.
The underground lake is very spacious, and from time to time you can see thick stone pillars connecting the upper and lower parts.
The two of them continued to search this space for a long time, but could not get out. The lake was too calm, and there was no exit.
"The water outside has been pouring in. There is no way this lake has an outlet. It should be underwater. I'll go down and have a look."
Mu Aotie said softly beside Yu Qing.
Yu Qing nodded silently, keeping the glowstone in his hand shining on the green smoke rising from the incense, while his eyes kept staring at the changes in the green smoke.
When Mu Aotie dwarfed the water and suddenly plunged into the lake and sank, Yu Qing also slowly turned his head and stared in another direction. It was dark over there and he couldn't see anything. He suddenly stood up and flew over
, landed on a nearby stone pillar, stood on the protruding part, threw away the lit incense in his hand, covered up the light of the fluorescent stone, and placed himself in the darkness, staring at a little light in the water.
That light was the fluorite in Mu Aotie's hand. The light gradually became very weak in the water, but it was still conspicuous in the absolutely dark environment.
Yu Qing could tell that Mu Aotie had dived deeper into the water, and the light spots were swimming quickly everywhere in the water, like a swimming fish.
When the bright light in the water goes somewhere else, Yu Qing will fly up and chase after it.
This lasted for a while, and the light in the water became more and more conspicuous. Finally, Mu Aotie broke out of the water and stood on the water again. Using his power to shake off the moisture on his clothes, he said to Yu Qing who was waiting in front of him: "It's right below,
There is also an underwater secret passage, I don’t know where it leads to, do you want to follow it to find it?”
Yu Qing didn't say whether he wanted it or not. After thinking silently for a while, he took out the glowstone again, took out an incense stick from his sleeve, lit it again, stared at the smoke for a while, and then suddenly flew up,
The water surface rose and fell, and he flew to cling to a cliff.
There were no other wrinkles on the rugged and slippery natural stone wall, but he tried to stick the incense stick in his hand to the stone wall. He saw that the smoke no longer completely rose straight up, but part of it drifted slightly sideways, slowly.
Drilled into the cracks in the stone wall.
After finding the correct position, Yu Qing bit the incense butt in his mouth, drew his sword, and whoosh, another sword pierced the stone wall.
Mu Aotie also flew down and climbed on the stone wall to watch, wondering what he was doing.
Yu Qing tried the feel of the sword and was able to tell the thickness of the stone wall. Then he used his power to cut and cut, and soon dug a circle on the stone wall. He unsheathed his sword and pressed it with his palm.
The cut circle was pushed inward slowly.
After about an arm's length, the sound of stones falling to the ground came from inside. The sound was not loud, and they were controlled to fall to the ground quietly.
Yu Qing stopped, took the fluorescent stone and looked inside, then got in through the entrance of the cave.
Mu Aotie, who followed later, found that he was in a tunnel. It was obvious that the walls of the tunnel were filled with traces of man-made excavation. Although he had seen similar abilities to Yu Qing in the Jian Yuan Mountain Tomb,
At this time, he was still a little moved. He still couldn't figure out how Yu Qing found this tunnel in the huge underground space.
Yu Qing observed the tunnel, took off the burning incense from his mouth, stared at the curling green smoke for a while, then turned back to Mu Aotie and pointed to the stones dug out from the ground.
Mu Aotie immediately picked up the stone on the ground and pushed it back in the opposite direction. Although it couldn't be exactly the same as before, at least it couldn't be easily discovered without paying attention when passing by.
The two of them then walked forward in the tunnel. When they encountered a fork in the road, Yu Qing made the choice without hesitation. He didn't seem to be worried about anyone in front of him and just moved forward quickly, with the route trending upward.
When the two of them arrived at the tunnel exit, they heard the whistling wind and saw a large stone at the exit that had been pushed halfway open.
The two of them extinguished the incense and put away the glowing fluorite. Yu Qing got out of the gap in the stone first and found that there was a cliff outside. The moon was bright in the night sky and the wind whistled through the valley.
.
Unknowingly, after having been underground for so long, it was already night.
Using the moonlight, Yu Qing briefly observed the details of the cave entrance, looked up, and quietly climbed up the cliff...
The terrain on the cliff has high and low levels. On the lower mountain, a nearly naked little boy with long hair shawl is sitting on the ground playing with stones, arranging a pile of stones to look like a character's head.
On the top of the highest mountain nearby, a man in black with long hair shawl was lying on the ground, his arms behind his head, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.
Suddenly, the man in black's eyes moved, and he stood up abruptly. He stared coldly at the place where the boy was playing, and saw a figure flash past. He was furious and jumped down.
.
However, he was still one step late.
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Yu Qing. He ducked past and grabbed the little boy playing on the ground. The sword was already unsheathed and placed on the little boy's neck.
"Ho ho..." The little boy suddenly screamed, struggled and shouted.
Yu Qing's hand pinched the back of his neck, and the little boy immediately rolled his eyes and stopped moving.
The man in black who landed on the ground was startled for a moment after he saw who had made the move. Then he glanced at Mu Aotie, who was standing next to Yu Qing with his sword drawn on guard. His eyes returned to Yu Qing's face, and he frowned and said, "It's you.
?”
He obviously couldn't figure out why he had to save his son before if he was going to hold his son hostage?
Yu Qing also looked at the other person clearly and refused to let go of the sword in his hand from the little boy's neck, "We meet again."
To be honest, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect that not only did he find the other party, but he also captured a hostage so easily. He saved a lot of trouble and felt much more at ease.
Seeing that it was him, the man in black relaxed a little, looked in the direction of the valley, and asked, "How did you find the tunnel and reach here?"
It was obvious that he couldn't believe that he didn't care about his son first.
Yu Qing: "That's not important. What's important is, why did you go to kill the boy in the village last night?"
"Young man?" The man in black was startled, and then sneered: "Did the people at Rift Valley Villa say I killed him? If I said they killed him themselves, would you believe it?"
Yu Qing: "Xin, as long as you can give a convincing reason."
The man in black showed a very interested look, "Why, you don't believe what Rift Valley Villa said, why do you still have to come to me to confirm it?"
Yu Qing: "Rift Valley Villa said that their thousands of years of suffering may be related to the demon world. I just don't understand. If you are really sent by the demon world, why would you bring your young son with you to take risks? This is very inappropriate.
Common sense.”
Man in black: "What does it have to do with you whether it's reasonable or not?"
The sword in Yu Qing's hand pressed against the little boy's neck, "It matters now."
The man in black stared at him and suddenly said: "You are not here to eliminate demons from the Rift Valley Villa. I don't care who you are or what you want to do. For the sake of saving my son, take my son away."
Let go, I can let you go."
Yu Qing: "You can do as you wish, but you haven't answered my question yet. Was he the boy you killed last night?"
Man in black: "You should listen to my advice last night, stay out of trouble and leave as soon as possible."
Yu Qing suddenly felt strange, "If you weren't the one who killed me, wouldn't it be better to explain it clearly and clear my name?"
Man in black: "No need to explain clearly. Some questions are not what you should ask, and some answers are not what you should know."
Yu Qing's heart moved slightly, and he pointed at the single-edged halberd pattern on the unconscious child's chest with a loose finger, "If I guess correctly, you also have a single-edged halberd tattoo on your chest."
The man in black stared at him quietly, and finally said slowly: "Do you want to care about what tattoos my father and son use?"
Yu Qing: "Why use the Wu clan emblem, and why do you use the enemy's clan emblem as a tattoo?"
The man in black didn't answer the question, "My patience has its limits. Do you really think I won't dare to take action if you take my son as a hostage?"
Yu Qing also answered the question incorrectly and suddenly asked, "Who is the guard holding the halberd?"
As soon as these words came out, the man in black had a look of shock on his face, his eyes finally glowed, and a strong murderous intention appeared on his whole body.
Seeing this reaction, Yu Qing understood that this person was indeed someone who knew a major secret. He was just doing a test. If he didn't know, he wouldn't understand, so there wouldn't be any reaction.
Now that he knew it, he immediately smiled and said: "If we start a fight, it's not certain who will win, but I can be sure that even if you kill me, you won't be able to silence me, because there are other people who know the purpose of our coming here.
."
The man in black: "Then I'll kill them all!" He walked forward slowly.
Yu Qing: "You should understand that as long as someone comes to attack the secret you keep, it means that the secret has been leaked. Have you heard of 'Xiaoyunjian'? Xianjia Cave, the cave of Fairy Yunzhong, has been
Found it, I came here because I saw the records about this place. Have you heard of Qianliu Mountain, Sinan Mansion and Dayesi? Their people are searching everywhere in Xiaoyunjian, and sooner or later they will see what I saw.
