The truth is always more hurtful. Listening to Qing Luo's straightforward explanation, Sun Huo's face turned very ugly. It turned out that he was not even a helper, just a bait that could be discarded.
After being silent for a while, Sun Huo, who was slightly shocked, suddenly came to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Then why did you change your mind later? Could it be that you were really attracted by her, but that you fell in love with me?"
"Hmph! Falling in love with you? If I had known you were talking like this, I shouldn't have kept you here. At least your ears are clearer." Qingluo turned around and glared at Sun Huo fiercely.
Seeing that Qing Luo seemed to be angry, Sun Huo tapped his foot lightly and quickly ran to the side, opening a short distance.
Seeing Sun Huo pretending like this, Qing Luo lowered her head and looked at the jade plate in her hand, and then said calmly: "Maybe I shouldn't have found you as bait in the first place. Because the ghost has a greater influence on you.
I’m interested, or more precisely, I’m interested in the jade pendant on your chest. So naturally I can’t let her get it first.”
As soon as these words came out, Sun Huo suddenly felt his heart shake, and the strings in his heart suddenly tightened. He had been hiding away from his hometown for so long, how could anyone know this thing, and he was an alien among immortal cultivators -
Ghost Xiu. What exactly did my father do back then?
Maybe he shouldn't have let the old man off so easily at the beginning. If he had asked clearly what happened, he might now know the origin of the ghost and be able to be more proactive. Sun Huo thought to himself.
Feeling that Sun Huo suddenly fell silent, Qing Luo peeked out of the corner of her eye and found that his face turned very serious.
As for the jade pendant just mentioned, when Sun Huo was unconscious, she also picked it up and looked at it.
Although I can’t tell what the material is, except for the style and color, it’s quite rare. You can’t feel any spiritual power fluctuations from the top at all, indicating that this is not a magic weapon, but a rare common object at best.
Now it seems that both Guiying and Sun Huo are so interested in it, is there really some special secret that they don't know about? Qingluo couldn't help but think about it secretly.
"This is a relic left by my father. Although I don't know what it can be used for, no matter what, I will never give it to that Mrs. Mei you mentioned." At this moment, Sun Huo touched himself.
chest, and said coldly.
Qing Luo was slightly surprised when she heard Sun Huo suddenly speak. The meaning of these words could not be more obvious, it was to warn her not to make any decisions about the jade pendant. In addition, she was also a little disappointed. If the person involved didn't know the secret,
If she really brought it over, it would be a waste.
Being able to say such words at this moment also shows that the man next to him is not just a tall and reckless man, but also has a very clear mind. It is quite reliable to fight against the ghost at the moment, but after the end, the two
If everyone can survive, how can they establish themselves and protect themselves? Qingluo couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although they were still traveling in parallel, the relationship between the two people, which had been somewhat relaxed, became tense again.
Stopping and walking like this, Qingluo looked at the jade plate in her hand from time to time along the way to identify the direction. Sun Huo was surprised that the place he was heading at this time was not pointing to the depths of the underworld, but instead.
It is really unreasonable to be far away from the area where you belong.
Even Qingluo had doubts in her heart when she looked at her surroundings.
The next morning, Sun Huo and Qing Luo, who were following the mark, arrived at the foot of a steep solitary peak.
What appeared in front of them was a pool of more than thirty feet in size.
There are no mountain springs or streams near the water pool. It is probably formed by the gushing of underground water veins. From time to time, a breeze blows, causing ripples on the water surface.
Except that the water in the pool looks particularly green, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the two of them saw looks of surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes. It is hard to imagine that Ghost Shadow would choose such a place for its lair.
But according to the instructions on the jade plate, this is the right place. So you have to either go into the water or enter the mountain wall on the other side of the pool.
If you want to travel through mountain walls or water, you have to use earth escape or water escape. When asked, neither of them had learned to master it.
In addition, because of the obstruction of the pond, with their current cultivation levels, they were unable to use their spiritual thoughts to sense the situation in the entire pond, and even the specific depth could not be detected.
Although there are water-avoiding beads that can be used to avoid water, the water pool seems to be a straight up and down structure, with no place to stand. This situation makes Qingluo not sure how to enter the water.
"You wait here, I'll go down and take a look." After saying this, without waiting for Qingluo's response, Sun Huo jumped into the pool.
"You..." Qing Luo raised her hand halfway and had to put it down helplessly. She knew very well that it was too dangerous to rush into the water like this. If the ghost launched a sneak attack inside, there would be no way to fight back.
power.
I don’t know what this person was thinking, but he rushed in like this. Qingluo couldn’t help but feel a little worried, and at the same time, she was also cautiously paying attention to the movements around her.
As time passed by, Qing Luo, who was calm at first, gradually became uneasy. She never saw Sun Huo show up, and she couldn't help but worry about whether there was an accident below. She could only look at the water anxiously, hoping.
I hope I can come out soon.
It had been about a cup of tea since entering the water, and Qingluo had already felt desperate. For such a long time, even if the ghost had not taken action, Sun Huo would have drowned in the pool and would not be able to get out.
Just when she felt a little sad, Sun Huo suddenly jumped out of the water and lay on the bank, breathing heavily.
"I'm so happy that someone would cry for me." Seeing Qing Luo hurriedly wiping the corners of her eyes, Sun Huo lost no time in making a comment.
"You are thinking too much. You were just blinded by the wind. If you really died down there, I would only feel sorry for not leaving your storage bag first." Qingluo agreed not to be outdone. p>
Hearing this, Sun Huo couldn't help rolling his eyes.
The reason why I can dive down there for so long is entirely due to practicing Zhengyang Kung together. It is much more strenuous to use fists and kicks in the water than on the ground. This is originally a way to practice strength.
Seeing Sun Huo almost panting, Qing Luo knelt down and asked softly: "How is it? Did you find anything down there?"
Sun Huo raised his right hand and pointed at the mountain wall opposite, "About twenty feet down from that place, I found an open stone door."
"Since your opponent is a ghost, let's wait a little longer. When the Yang Qi is at its strongest at noon, it will be somewhat suppressed. Then I will take you down." After a pause, Sun Huo added.
"That's fine." Qingluo thought for a while and agreed. Taking advantage of this time, the two of them left the pool for the time being and found another hidden place to meditate and adjust their breath.
What they didn't discover was that not far from the edge of the pool, there was a broken stone tablet that had fallen to the ground, covered by fallen leaves and weeds, with three vague characters "Xixiang Pool" written on it.
Unknowingly, the sun quickly reached the zenith.
At this time, Qingluo was standing on a simple raft, pushed to the edge of the mountain wall by Sun Huo.
After watching Qing Luo apply the Water Avoidance Technique on herself to form a light shield, Sun Huo reached out and handed her a piece of rope.
After holding Qingluo firmly in her hand, she stepped into the water resolutely.
As soon as she entered the water, Qingluo felt that she began to sink uncontrollably. Although there was a light shield to separate the pool, she could not move freely.
The rope in her hand suddenly tightened, and Qing Luo felt herself start to move. She saw that the other end of the rope was tied to Sun Huo's waist, and he was taking her all the way down.
The pond water here is really not that clear, and Qingluo can't see very far.
One foot, two feet...
After a short while, Qingluo saw the stone door Sun Huo mentioned. It looked very rough and crude. It was already covered with water plants and other plants, and she didn't know if there were any patterns on it originally.
After Sun Huo led her through the stone gate, what appeared in front of him was an upward staircase. At this time, Sun Huo did not stop, but instead led her to swim faster.
She obviously had a place to stay and walk, but Sun Huo kept pulling on the rope to prevent her from landing.
Going up the steps, the two people soon surfaced from the water.
Qingluo took out a moonstone, and the soft light suddenly illuminated the surroundings, and she saw a passage extending into the darkness in the distance.
Looking back at Sun Huo who was sitting on the ground panting, Qing Luo asked doubtfully: "Why didn't you let me walk up the steps by myself just now? That way you can come up faster and don't have to be so tired."
"Do you think it's really just an ordinary staircase that people can walk on casually?" Sun Huo responded without raising his head.
Qingluo opened her mouth, but didn't say anything more. Looking at the water-soaked path, she was also a little confused. Judging from the distance Sun Huo took her just now, their position at this time should be
We returned to the ground, but we were already inside the mountain wall. Who spent so much effort to carve out such a place?
After a while, Sun Huo stood up and said, "Okay, let's go." As he spoke, he made a fist with his hands, and a layer of golden light suddenly appeared on his body.
Qingluo also silently slapped an earth attribute shield on herself, and then followed her.
After walking about ten feet away, the path in front of them suddenly turned into a deep pit. The two of them looked up and down, but couldn't see anything clearly in the pitch black. Sun Huo raised his hand and popped up a small fireball. With the help of a weak
In the light of the fire, I saw that the bottom of the pit was covered with spikes.
The other end was now about ten feet away. Sun Huo estimated that even if he used Cheng Yue's boots to rush over, he would hit the top of the passage and fall into the pit.
This place is really strange. It doesn't look like a monk's residence at all. Instead, it looks like a secret place built with secular civil engineering skills. Could this be a tomb? Sun Huo couldn't help but have such an idea. p>
"Look over there." Just as Sun Huo was pondering, he suddenly heard Qing Luo exclaimed
