"Then let's leave here first." Mingruo didn't understand the 'spiritual weapon', and now he was even more familiar with this weird cave.
"Yeah." Si Haochen and Mingruo walked down the green jade platform and walked to the other end of the cave. The journey went surprisingly smoothly until they were blocked by a stone door.
Si Haochen knocked on the stone door with the hilt of his sword, and there was a clanging sound. It was obvious that the stone door was very heavy.
"There should be some mechanism that can open the door?" Mingruo groped around the stone door for a long time, but found nothing.
"The mechanism is not inside the door." Si Haochen stared at the stone door for a while. This door should only be opened from the outside. If you want to get out from inside, you can only use your internal power to activate the mechanism. "Find a place to hide."
Everything outside the door was unknown, so Mingruo chose a position not far from the stone door but not directly opposite the door.
Si Haochen took a deep breath and tried his best to mobilize the available internal energy. Si Haochen stood in front of the door, used his internal energy and struck the stone door with his palm - with a boom, fine dust floated around the stone wall, and the stone door began to tremble slightly, and gradually
Splitting from the middle to both sides, the entire cave was shaking.
The stone door was completely opened, and the surroundings fell into dead silence. Mingruo and Si Haochen looked at each other, and both of them had surprise in their eyes - they had been tortured all the way, so it was too easy to open this door, right?
When the two of them walked out of the stone door, they realized why there was no "overt and covert attack" as expected, because the biggest crisis was right outside the door.
I saw a nine-curved stone bridge leading to the other side, but there was no water under the bridge, but a rolling tide of snakes. The snakes inside were of various colors and sizes, intertwined and climbed, just like a basin of grasshoppers, which made people shudder. Although the bridge surface is relatively clean
, but there are also snakes in twos and threes hanging on the bridge railings 'playing a swing'.
Mingruo couldn't tell the different types of these snakes, but one look at their appearance and they knew they were highly venomous.
Mingruo shuddered: "Let's go back the way we came..." Let alone venomous snakes, even if they were not venomous, the considerable amount, combined by her and Si Haochen, was not enough for each snake to share a bite.
"Then we have to go back..." As soon as Si Haochen finished speaking, the stone door closed with a bang, many times faster than when it opened.
"Okay." Mingruo sighed. If he had known he would give the hairpin to that crazy woman like this, Mingruo took out the realgar from the medical system, sprinkled it on himself, and asked Si Haochen: "Do you want realgar?"
?”
Si Haochen naturally knew that snakes were afraid of realgar, so he reached out to take it and sprinkle it on his body. He tilted his head and said to Mingruo, "Let's go."
Si Haochen was the first to step onto the stone bridge. The snakes that were lazily hanging on the railings instantly stood upright and became aggressive.
Mingruo stepped forward and grabbed Si Haochen's sleeves, and said hesitantly: "These snakes don't seem to be afraid of realgar..."
"They should still be afraid." For some unknown reason, the snake that had become vigilant just now swung lazily back to the bridge railing. "Get the medicine for your heart disease ready. If they attack, I will use Qinggong to take you across the bridge."
Although this stone bridge is not long, it is unknown what dangers there are on the other side. If you use all your inner strength, you may have a heart attack, but it is better than being swallowed by the tide of snakes.
"Yeah." Mingruo nodded.
Si Haochen held a soft sword and led Mingruo, and carefully stepped onto the stone bridge. Strangely enough, the snakes that were originally entangled on the bridge railings retreated and slid down the bridge.
Linglong, who was holding her body up on her shoulders: Don't be afraid, I will protect you!
Despite this, Mingruo's face was still pale, and she kept wailing in her heart - trypophobia can't hurt her, snakes, insects, rats and ants can scare people to death.
Si Haochen's deep voice sounded above his head: "Close your eyes."
"Okay." Mingruo immediately closed her eyes, fearing that she would be nauseated and vomited if she took one more look.
"We're here." Si Haochen looked around, and there was another cave in front of him, with layers of stone steps extending upward, and there was no end as far as the eye could see.
Mingruo opened his eyes and saw countless stone steps in front of him, and he suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
The two climbed up the stairs, and Mingruo felt that he needed some motivation: "After I get out, I will seek revenge on that crazy woman."
"No."
"..." When did His Highness Prince Yun suffer such a disadvantage?
"You can't beat her." That crazy woman knows martial arts. What's the difference between her going to take revenge and giving someone her head?
"I didn't say I wanted to fight with her..." My sister is a civilized person and doesn't know how to fight. She knows so many chemically synthesized toxins. Wouldn't it be nice to just give her some potassium cyanide?
The stone steps finally reached the end, and the two of them had just stood still when the stone wall in front of them suddenly parted to both sides, and the light coming in from the outside was a bit dazzling. In the golden setting sun, an old man in white robe stood outside the stone door.
His face does not look old, and his eyes are full of energy. His silver hair is extremely long, almost reaching his ankles. His beard and hair are blowing in the mountain wind, making him look like a fairy.
The old man put one hand behind his back and said with anger in his tone: "Who trespassed into the forbidden area of my Xuanyi Sect!"
Si Haochen reacted quickly and protected Mingruo behind him: "Prince Dong Huanyun Si Haochen."
The anger in the old man's eyes was not diminished at all, and Mingruo sighed secretly - it seems that His Highness Prince Yun's name is not easy to use.
Considering the number of poisonous snakes in that cave, and this old man claiming to be a mysterious doctor, could he summon a bunch of poisonous insects, snakes and ants to attack them?
Mingruo forced a smile: "Old man, we definitely don't dare to 'trespass' into any forbidden areas. We just accidentally entered from the cave...Leave immediately..."
Hearing Mingruo say 'entered by mistake from the cave', the old man's tone rose several octaves: "You have been to the altar!"
Mingruo's heart skipped a beat, had she self-defeated herself? That sapphire high platform was an altar? She wouldn't be captured as a tribute, right?
Si Haochen's whole body exuded waves of chill, and he pointed his sword at the old man: "So what!"
"Peep the sacred object of Xuanyi Sect, keep your eyes!" The old man suddenly took out his claws and took them straight to the door.
The old man's movements were not fast, but Mingruo could not avoid it. His body seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. Even his breathing was stagnant, let alone moving. His waist tightened, and Mingruo was led by Si Haochen.
Quickly retreating. About three feet away from the old man, Ming Ruocai exhaled a breath, with a sweet smell in his throat and a trace of blood overflowing from the corners of his lips.
Si Haochen was also secretly frightened. This old man's martial arts skills were unfathomable. Let alone now, even three years ago when he could use all his inner strength, it would be difficult for him to escape. There was a pain in his chest, and Si Haochen had to
He stopped and supported his body with his sword on the ground.
Mingruo realized that Si Haochen might be sick, so he quickly got some medicine for him to swallow, and injected a few needles into several large points on his chest: "If you can escape, run away..." After the last injection, "This set of needles
The method can help you buy a quarter of an hour... You also know the consequences... After the coma, follow the previous method and take this medicine with you." Mingruo put a Western medicine and a Chinese patent medicine into Si Haochen's hands.
