Raising the crystal in his hand and looking around, Sun Huo found that this passage was completely incomparable with the places he had walked through before.
In the front area, you can clearly see the traces of artificial drilling. Although there are no decorative patterns, it is still smooth.
In this passage, Sun Huo could see all kinds of signs of destruction, including potholes that were melted by high temperatures, and horizontal and vertical slash marks. The ground under his feet had also not been cleaned and leveled, and was covered with gravel and debris.
Mud. It can be said that this passage was forcibly carved out of the mountain using violence.
Looking back at the stone room where he stayed and the only stone platform, Sun Huo couldn't help but wonder if some monster was imprisoned here before and accidentally escaped, and then the ghost came in.
After all, judging from the ghost's intangible characteristics and attack methods, it is impossible to make such a big move.
With such doubts, Sun Huo became more and more cautious, fearing that he would encounter something left behind on the way. After hesitating for a moment, he stopped and cast the Golden Armor Curse on himself before continuing.<
/p>
The passage was very long. Sun Huo walked for a quarter of an hour and still didn't see any trace of the end. This situation also made him murmur in his heart. He wondered if the guy who dug the hole had penetrated the mountain.
, in this case, you will go down a lot of wrongful paths in vain.
Fortunately, after he walked another ten feet away, the light of the crystal no longer illuminated the darkness, but the suspected exit blocked by sand and gravel.
Sun Huo was relieved to have reached this point so smoothly. At least his worry of suspecting an accident on the way could be relieved.
Shaking his head, Sun Huo sat down helplessly. No matter whether it was an exit or a collapse, strength work was still indispensable. Since it was unavoidable, Sun Huo decided to take a rest first and take it easy. He closed his eyes and started to exercise.
Adjust your breath.
After a short while, Sun Huo stood up and walked to the top of the gravel pile.
His fingers skillfully turned the knot, and then he flicked it suddenly, and two golden lights extended from his arms, which had grown to a foot long.
Although he hasn't used this golden blade technique for a long time, it feels magical every time he uses it, especially now, it finally feels a bit like a two-sword swordsman.
He raised his hands and looked at it. Under the golden light, a rare smile appeared on Sun Huo's face.
Sun Huo silently controlled the flow of mana in his body, and the golden light shrank inch by inch until it only covered the palm of his hand, as if he had put on a pair of gloves, and began to dig deeply.
With the blessing of golden light, no matter how hard the rocks were, Sun Huo could easily break them in two without having to worry about the size of the rocks inside.
The sand and gravel rolled back one after another. In a short time, Sun Huo dug a small hole and came out. The fresh air rushed in, making him feel indescribably comfortable. He suddenly felt that staying in the passage was really comfortable.
Too bad.
Sun Huo did not immediately rush to enlarge the hole and climb out. Instead, he lay down and listened with his ears raised, and at the same time, he also sent out his spiritual thoughts to explore.
But from what he could perceive, the appearance outside was very strange.
The location here was probably a corner of a certain village. Through his spiritual consciousness, he discovered that there were many residential houses nearby, but they were all seriously damaged and he could not detect any that looked intact.
All that can be heard in the ears is the whining sound of the wind, the rattling sound of some dilapidated doors and windows as they shake, and occasionally mixed with the chirping of a few night insects.
This situation was a big surprise to Sun Huo. He originally thought he would be in some wilderness, but he didn't expect it to be an abandoned village.
Since there were no strangers outside, he had no worries, and the speed of pulling with both hands was a little faster, and soon the small hole was enlarged enough for him to get out.
After walking down the pile of gravel and stepping on normal ground again, Sun Huo stretched greatly and looked up to see the stars in the sky, which relieved the claustrophobic feeling he had been trapped in before.
Then he reached into his arms and Sun Huo once again took out the lighting crystal and held it in his hand. The soft green light immediately illuminated the surroundings clearly.
Turning back to look at the place where he came out, Sun Huo was surprised to see various talismans stuck on it. Some were very new, some were faded and old, and some were shaky and about to fall off. It looked like they should be the repellent paper used by the people.
Things that suppress evil spirits do not contain spiritual power.
If he was really imprisoned by the spiritual talismans of so many immortal cultivators, he would not be able to escape so easily.
Seeing this situation, Sun Huo couldn't help but murmur in his heart, turned around and started walking in a random direction.
After just a few glances, Sun Huo felt that this village was really miserable. It must have been attacked by immortal cultivators, and there were ruins everywhere.
The reason why we can draw this conclusion is that all the damaged buildings here are left with flat cuts, and traces of cuts can be seen everywhere.
Some houses were even cut in half. A mortal would never be able to do such a thing. Sun Huo really couldn't imagine what had happened here before to be so destroyed by immortal cultivators.
Seeing that it was late at night, it was really not suitable to explore the situation. Sun Huo found a better house nearby and stopped. After sweeping away the dust and cobwebs, he sat down to eat and drink something, planning to wait until dawn.
It’s time to look for people nearby to inquire about the situation.
He was very concerned about Mrs. Mei's identity. Although they didn't talk much, it seemed from the tone that his familiarity with Sun Yuan was not fabricated out of thin air.
There are burnt marks on the branches of the elixir, and she is not dead. It should be that Qingluo defeated her by unknown means and destroyed it.
Although the ghost who knew the inside story is gone, there may still be some clues to be found in this severely damaged village.

It was dawn the next day, and Sun Huo was already walking along the vaguely visible road. Because he was worried about shocking the world in front of mortals, he did not use the Wind Control Technique to speed up, and just trotted forward.
More than two hours later, Sun Huo looked at the scene in front of him with confusion. This was the third village he had walked through, and it still looked deserted.
Except for the fact that the village he escaped from was destroyed, everything he saw later was intact and empty. However, under the exploration of spiritual consciousness, although it was found that although the house was a bit messy, it was obvious that some of the valuables had been cleaned up.
I left later.
Just when Sun Huo was hesitating whether to go back home, he suddenly saw smoke rising from the kitchen in the distance. He couldn't help but cheer up and quickly took steps forward.
When they came closer, they found that they were an elderly couple, making a fire and cooking. Sun Huo's sudden appearance also shocked them. However, despite the fright, the old man did not forget it.
He blocked the woman behind him.
After a long explanation and knowing that Sun Huo had no ill intentions and just wanted to ask for directions, the old couple felt relieved and invited him to come in and have a rest.
The woman kindly brought a bowl of water for him to drink, and then told Sun Huo to leave the area as soon as possible, because it was impossible to find anyone within a radius of fifty miles.
After hearing such advice, Sun Huo quickly picked up the conversation and asked his doubts. Originally, the old couple didn't want to talk about this, but after hearing that Sun Huo actually walked through the ruined village and came here,
I couldn't help but be shocked.
Unable to resist Sun Huo's repeated questioning, they told a piece of the past here.
The deep pool that Sun Huo entered was called Xixiang Pool. This pool has a strange feature. Every ten years, the water in the deep pool will rise and fall like the tide.
The water level will start to drop from the morning until it reaches the bottom of the pool below. After noon, it will start to rise again until it is full. This phenomenon only lasts for half a month.
More than ten years ago, it happened to be the time for Xixiangtan to rise and fall again. But suddenly a lot of officers and soldiers came and circled the place as a forbidden area, not allowing anyone to approach, and then quickly withdrew.
At first, people nearby did not take this seriously, because it could be said that there was no change before and after Xixiangtan. But a few months later, the nightmare began.
One after another, people began to hear some strange sounds, like a man struggling desperately, shouting and cursing, which was very sad but unclear.
Some people were afraid and left, but more people stayed for various reasons. After all, it was only heard by a few people, and it did not cause any substantial harm.
When the next ten years of Xixiangtan arrive and the water in the pool does not rise and fall again, the nightmare will come.
On a dark and stormy night, a demon suddenly rushed out and started killing people. In the end, no one in the village was spared.
When it was daytime, someone from a high place saw from a distance that a mountain of corpses had been piled up in the village, with what looked like a coffin placed on top.
Such a situation would naturally frighten the nearby villagers out of their wits, and they would flee here without caring about anything.
After a long period of time, when another brave person came back to visit, he found that the so-called demon seemed to have left, and even the coffin on the mountain of corpses was gone.
After something like this happened, no one dared to live here anymore. Everyone took the risk to come back and pack up Xinrou, and then left.
Only some older people stayed, risking their lives to gather and cremate the bones of the villagers, and also blocked the entrance of the cave where the demons came out. However, this place has been completely ruined, and there will be no human habitation for a long time in the future. Listening to the old people's narration, Sun Huo felt very complicated and did not speak for a long time. If Mrs. Mei's words were not false, he might have been able to figure out the ins and outs of what happened back then, and he could also guess who Mrs. Mei was. p>
