Under the illumination of the moonstone, a rather large ring was hanging on the stone wall on the left side of the passage. Further forward, every two feet away, there were similar rings hanging on the mountain wall. The two of them approached and took a closer look, and found that the ring was not fixedly embedded in the stone wall, but was tied to it by an iron chain that led to an unknown location inside the stone wall.
What can this do? Sun Huo was very confused. The iron rings were so far apart that it was impossible to swing through them just by grabbing them.
"What should I do? I never knew her cave was so difficult to break into. Even if you don't practice escape techniques, you can't get in." Qing Luo said at a loss.
Escape is not something that is easy to master for casual cultivators in the Qi refining period. If you don’t have a certain amount of talent, just any escape can take two or three years to master, and you may not be able to master it.
Come down.
Sun Huo looked at the iron ring on the stone wall in silence. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He turned his head and said, "You step back, I will give it a try."
Qing Luo raised her head and looked at Sun Huo, her eyes full of surprise. "Be careful." She whispered, took a few steps back, and looked worriedly.
Seeing that Qing Luo had retreated, Sun Huo stretched out his hand and grabbed the iron ring. He didn't know what was connected to the other end of the iron chain, and it felt quite heavy.
This weight that ordinary people can't pull is not a big problem for Sun Huo. After he took a moment to pay attention, he could already feel the chain being pulled out by him with only seven percent of his strength.
"Creak, creak, creak," the sound of the machine's transmission came from inside the stone wall, and it immediately echoed in the silent passage.
Qingluo's heart suddenly rose to her throat. If the dive just now was a successful one, then it would be impossible for such a big movement not to disturb the ghost. She quickly took out a small card from her side.
silk screen, nervously staring at the other side of the passage.
As Sun Huo pulled the iron chain back step by step, under another iron ring two feet away, there was a stone pillar slowly extending from the wall.
"So that's it." Sun Huo was delighted. The design of this mechanism is that a person with supernatural power must pull the iron chain to create a way forward.
Sun Huo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength in his hand became a little smaller. Unexpectedly, the iron chain started to move, dragging him forward. At the same time, the stone pillar that originally stretched out in front of him was also slowly moving forward.
Retract within the wall.
In shock, Sun Huo had to increase his strength, and then he pulled the chain and refused to take it back. "Damn mechanism." He couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
This situation couldn't be more obvious. The stone pillars that appear as springboards have a time limit. If he wants to pass through the deep pit here, he has to pull down the chain five times in one go before he can jump to the other side of the passage.
This is a big burden on his physical strength. Moreover, before taking Qingluo down from diving, his body has not recovered much.
"I didn't expect it to be you two. Qingluo, I really underestimated you. You survived after being hit by Li Renshang, and you were able to find your way here."
A gust of dark wind came towards me, and Mrs. Mei's soft voice came from a distance.
The two of them were startled when they heard the sound, and they all became alert at the same time.
"You bitches, stop hiding and come out!" Sun Huo looked across and shouted.
"This official is so impatient. This makes the slave family really flattered. Your father was very brave here back then, and I wonder how much you have gained. Could it be an embroidered pillow that is just fancy but not useful?"
After saying this, only Mrs. Mei's sweet laughter remained.
"Come out and tell me clearly what it means that my father is so brave here, you bastard!!" After hearing this, Sun Huo couldn't help but become a little angry and roared towards the other side.
But the other side fell silent again, and there was no more sound.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, calm down, this may be..." Qing Luo quickly stepped forward, wanting to say something.
"Shut up! I'm going to go find her now and ask her if you're coming."
Qing Luo saw with some horror that Sun Huo's face was twisted with anger, and blood vessels appeared on his forehead.
It was beyond Qing Luo's expectation that things suddenly turned like this. She didn't understand why Sun Huo was so angry when his father was mentioned.
"No, I won't die in vain with you like this." Qingluo said in a low voice.
Sun Huo's body suddenly stiffened, and the aura that had exploded on his body began to slowly fall back. Regardless of whether what the ghost said was true or false, if he rushed over in such a hot-headed way, he would indeed die in vain.
"I understand." Without saying anything more, Sun Huo began to pull up the chain in front of him again.
With a "click", the chain seemed to have reached its end. Sun Huo turned around and was about to say something, but saw Qing Luo rushing out and jumping on the stone pillar first.
"Why are you still stunned? Come here quickly." Qingluo did not look back, still staring at the other side of the passage warily.
Sun Huo's heart moved, and he quickly let go of the chain and jumped over. Since the stone pillar had begun to move, he swayed twice when he stepped on it, and then he stabilized his body.
After taking a few breaths, Sun Huo immediately started to pull the iron ring in front of him again. Time was very tight at this moment. If they couldn't quickly pull out the next stone pillar, they would be squeezed into the deep pit.
With a "plop", Sun Huo knelt down as soon as he stepped on the ground. At this time, he had already released the golden armor spell, and his naked upper body was steaming and covered with water drops, and he gasped with his mouth wide open.<
/p>
If he was in good condition, the level just now would not be a problem at all. However, the injuries in his body have not been completely healed, so pulling up five chains in a row made him feel very uncomfortable.
There was a soft "pop" sound, and a green talisman suddenly stuck to Sun Huo's back. White light suddenly lit up, enveloping his entire body.
Sun Huo, who was in the white light, felt a warm energy pouring in from his back, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones. At the same time as he was refreshed, the feeling of fatigue in his body was suddenly reduced a lot.
.
"You are forcing yourself too much. In fact, you don't need to come at all." The white light flashed away, and only Qingluo's voice could be heard softly.
"It's already this time, why are you talking about this?" Sun Huo's face improved a lot, and he stood up and responded lightly. Sun Huo knew that Qingluo had used the rejuvenation charm on him just now, which restored his health.
He lost part of his physical strength.
"Let's go, don't keep me waiting." After a period of suffocating silence, Sun Huo broke it first.
After the two passed through another cave where the mechanism seemed to have failed, they walked several tens of feet away. Finally, a big corner appeared in front of them, and a few rays of light were faintly revealed.
The two looked at each other and quickly walked in without hesitation.
This seems to be the end of the passage, and it is also a large stone hall. On the walls around the stone hall, there are more than a dozen skulls and heads inlaid on it.
Each skull has egg-sized beads in its mouth, emitting a faint green light.
Under the illumination of this green light, you can see that the entire stone hall is filled with a faint black air. On a rather large stone platform in the center, a black figure sits cross-legged and meditates like a living person. Beside him,
The strange flower that Sun Huo saw before was displayed impressively.
Although the scene in front of him was very strange, what surprised Sun Huo was that it was these black energies that gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Qingluo, how about we discuss something. As long as you take down the man next to you, forget about the past and I will do my best to help you enter the foundation building stage. How about that?" A soft voice came from the black shadow.
, full of temptation.
Sun Huo was very surprised. He thought that the ghost shadow would attack them head-on, but unexpectedly he was here to sow discord.
"Mrs. Mei, you have thought too hard about Qing Luo. Why didn't you say hello in advance when you activated the death ban?" Sun Huo moved aside and was not in a hurry to take action.
Guiying was a little surprised. Qingluo didn't even say anything, but Sun Huo answered her words.
"I didn't expect that the young boys back then would be so strong now, and they would also know how to cherish their beauty. How long ago did they take away my green radish? It's really..." Ghosting looked away and looked at
Sun Huo looked around.
"Do it!" Qingluo seemed to not want to continue chatting with the ghost, and suddenly gave a sweet scream. Then she raised one hand and released the bell she used before.
This place was already semi-enclosed, so the sound attack of the bells gained a little more power out of thin air. Suddenly, the whole stone room was filled with jingling echoes.
At the same time, Sun Huo slapped the Pure Heart Talisman that he had prepared on his body with one hand, and then drove the Ghost Sealing Diagram to release the powder mist again, slowly advancing forward.
Apparently on the way here, Sun Huo and the two had discussed some strategies in advance to deal with the ghosts. As soon as they took action, they immediately used their magical powers, one offensively and one defensively.
But the ghost figure on the stone platform burst and disappeared like a bubble after the bell rang. Not only that, a thin and low cry sounded out of thin air.
This voice sounds like a woman's voice, sad and low, making people extremely irritated and uneasy.
Obviously the sound of the bell driven by Qingluo was louder, but it could not cover up the strange crying sound at all. Instead, it was transmitted to the ears of the two people very clearly.
After just listening for a little while, Sun Huo felt that his mind was in turmoil and he was in danger of losing his mind. He was so surprised that he had to guard his mind with all his strength.
Sun Huo looked up and saw that Qing Luo's hand gestures had slowed down, and the continuous ringing was no longer as clear and loud as it was at the beginning.
"Oops!" Sun Huo exclaimed inwardly. Obviously Qingluo has been affected by the ghost cry, and if she falls down, she will be alone.
Moreover, the ghost figure seems to be able to become invisible. Although she has been searching back and forth with her spiritual thoughts, there is no trace of her in such a large stone room.
