"Huh? The terrain is going downwards. Is it possible to go back to the bottom of the lake?"
Following Huangpu Wudi, Qin Feng discovered that the cave they were in was bottomless, and even his own spiritual sense could not detect how deep it was.
Moreover, the terrain of the cave has been extending downwards. After a few minutes, a few people walked out hundreds of meters. According to Qin Feng's calculations, the terrain here should have been lower than the lake level.
"My lord, except for the palace guards and the direct descendants of the royal family, outsiders have never been allowed to come here." As if he was afraid of neglecting Qin Feng, Huangpu Wudi, who was walking in front, turned around and said.
"Elder Huangpu, is this place man-made or naturally formed?"
Qin Feng asked, because he observed that there were human traces on the rock wall of the cave, but such a huge project could not be built even with the efforts of a whole country, right?
"Half natural, half man-made."
Huangpu Wudi replied: "When we discovered this place, the cave was not so wide. It could only accommodate a short person crawling. Later, it took several generations of emperors to build it into what it is now..."
"I don't know how many bones are buried here!"
After hearing Huangpu Wudi's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was like the Great Wall outside and the Epang Palace that had been completely burned by Xiang Yu. They were all built with human lives.
Although it is just a widening of the cave, the project is no less than building the Great Wall, because it requires a little bit of excavation, and if it collapses, everyone will be buried underneath.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng lost interest in talking and followed Huangpu Wudi all the way down. Behind him were Qin Dongyuan, Qin Bing and Zhang Hu, brother and sister.
The length of the cave far exceeded Qin Feng's imagination, and the road seemed to have no end. The group walked for more than half an hour, but still did not reach their destination.
The air in the cave has become thinner. If it weren't for the illumination of a luminous pearl that appeared on the rock wall every few meters, it would have been pitch black.
"Huzi, you and Jinxuan come in front of me..."
Qin Feng could hear that the breathing of the two disciples behind him gradually became heavier. He knew that this was due to their lack of cultivation and they were already suffering from hypoxia.
"Master, my sister and I are fine!" Zhang Hu's slightly stubborn voice sounded, but at this time, his brain was groggy and he was moving forward with perseverance.
"You're okay, but Jin Xuan may not be okay..." Qin Feng stopped, and after the two caught up, he grabbed their hands and passed a trace of true energy to them.
"My Lord, they just took the Huitian Pill, and they are actually fine."
Huangpu Wudi also stopped and said with a smile: "This environment can also promote the dissolution of the medicinal power in their bodies, which is beneficial to them..."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this, but he believed most of it in his heart.
Because when Qin Feng entered the true energy just now, he found that the little brother and sister were not at the end of their rope. There was indeed a vitality left in their bodies.
"The human body is originally a treasure. It has endless potential. Only by practicing with medicine can it be developed more thoroughly." Seeing the doubt on Qin Feng's face, Huangpu Wudi explained.
"I see."
Qin Feng nodded. In the outside world, Chinese martial arts have long been in decline. Even the real Taoist Kung Fu is about to be lost, let alone the use of drugs to assist training.
"Grandma's!" Just as the two were talking, Qin Dongyuan's indignant muttering sounded from behind Qin Feng.
Qin Dongyuan's eyes looked at Huangpu Wudi angrily. He thought of how he had fainted when he was taken to the Yin-Yang Treasure Land after taking the Huitian Pill when he was young. How could there be Zhang Hu brothers and sisters now?
treatment?
"You brat, among the hundreds of people in your group, you are the only one who has taken the Huitian Pill. Why are you dissatisfied?"
Huangpu Wudi stared back and said, "If your skin is itchy, I don't mind letting you know what it means to respect your teacher and respect your moral principles!"
Huangpu Wudi was full of resentment towards the Qin family back then, and naturally he would not teach those Qin family's children properly, which is why the appalling death rate occurred.
However, Huangpu Wudi opened the door to Qin Dongyuan. Not only did he teach him a lot of real kung fu, he even gave him a pill of the extremely precious Huitian Pill, and he became the great elder of the Qin family.
"Of course I will never forget your kindness!" Qin Dongyuan curled his lips. He knew that he could not defeat Huangpu Wudi, but he was unwilling to suffer the immediate loss and softened his tone.
"Elder Huangpu, how far is the distance?" After walking for about half an hour, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.
Although the space in the cave was limited, and the Zhang Hu brothers and sisters slowed down the team's progress, after more than an hour of walking, at least several kilometers, they never reached the bottom.
Moreover, the oxygen became thinner and thinner as he went further down. Qin Feng himself didn't care, but the faces of Zhang Hu and Jin Xuan had already turned purple, and it was obvious that they were about to reach their limit.
After hearing that this place was good for them, the Zhang Hu brothers broke free from Qin Feng's hand and insisted on walking on their own.
After walking like this for a while, both Zhang Hu and Jinxuan felt that there seemed to be a heat in their bodies. Every time they were about to be unable to hold on, some energy would be injected into their bodies.
"We're almost there, about half an hour left!"
Huangpu Wudi looked back at the Zhang Hu siblings and said, "My lord, you don't have to worry. These two children have good qualifications. If they can survive this level, they will make great progress."
Hearing what Huangpu Wudi said, Qin Feng was helpless.
Fortunately, although brother and sister Zhang Hu and Jin Xuan struggled to support themselves, their lives were not in danger. Qin Feng was confident that he could rescue them in time when they could no longer support themselves.
"Huh? Why is it so hot?"
After walking several hundred meters further, Qin Feng suddenly noticed a wave of heat coming over him. The originally cold cave suddenly became so hot that even he couldn't help but feel his breath stagnate.
Qin Feng felt uncomfortable, and the two children behind him became even more unbearable. When the heat wave hit Zhang Hu and Jinxuan, they staggered and fell forward.
"Huzi, Jinxuan, are you two okay?"
Qin Feng, who was in front of them, quickly supported one of them with one hand. He was relieved when he saw that both of them were breathing rapidly and their faces were red, but they were both conscious.
"Master, it's okay!" Zhang Hu struggled to stand upright and said unsteadily: "I... I can still hold on!"
"I can persist too!"
Although Jinxuan has a kind and weak temperament, she is stubborn in her bones. She stood up and said: "Master, I must surpass my brother, or he will laugh at me every day..."
Zhang Hu started practicing martial arts earlier than Jin Xuan. After becoming Qin Feng's teacher, he often joked with his sister. This made the little girl very unhappy. She practiced hard every day just to surpass her brother.
Moreover, the little girl's thoughts are very simple. The reason why she can persevere until now is because she has a belief in her heart that she can surpass her brother if she perseveres.
"Silly girl, my brother is joking with you!" Hearing his sister's words, Zhang Hu couldn't help being speechless and said pitifully: "Sister, let Master take you down..."
"No, I want to go by myself!" Jinxuan shook her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Okay, you two can go on your own!" Qin Feng nodded approvingly. He checked their pulses just now when he supported the two of them. Their pulses were stable, so they would be fine.
As the saying goes, "Easier said than done." The two insisted on walking by themselves, but this slowed down the entire team's progress. After half an hour, they still had not reached their destination.
Moreover, the temperature in the cave was getting higher and higher. Qin Feng even felt that his skin was getting hot. Every breath of air he breathed was so hot that it seemed to burn someone's throat.
What surprised Qin Feng was that the Zhang Hu brothers and sisters actually persisted, but their spirits were a little hazy. It looked like they were only supporting themselves with one breath.
Huangpu Wudi didn't say much and just took the lead to walk down. However, Qin Feng could feel that his consciousness was also locked on the Zhang Hu brothers and sisters. He should be afraid that something unexpected would happen to the two of them.
"Huh? The temperature has changed!"
After descending several hundred meters again, the area of the cave suddenly expanded a lot. The area that originally could only be walked shoulder to shoulder for two days is now nearly twice as wide.
The burning feeling in the cave has also been significantly reduced, as if there is a cold current soaking in it, neutralizing the high temperature, making people feel refreshed.
"Almost there!"
Huangpu Wudi's expression became solemn, and he turned to Qin Feng and said: "My Lord, this place is where Yin and Yang meet. When you get to that intersection, you have to take action to protect these two children...
…”
"The intersection of Yin and Yang?" Qin Feng asked a little confused: "Is there still extreme cold underground?"
"Yes, not far from the Earth Fire, there is an extremely cold place." Huangpu Wudi nodded and said: "That's why this place is called the Yin and Yang Treasure Land, and it is of great use to cultivators."
"I understand, let's go down!"
A trace of curiosity arose in Qin Feng's heart. Although it is said that yin does not grow and yang does not grow, the extreme yang and the extreme yin are opposite. Qin Feng cannot imagine how they can get along well with each other.
After descending for another seventy or eighty meters, Qin Feng suddenly shuddered because he felt an extremely cold breath blowing from the left side of his body.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng immediately unfolded his protective energy, and immediately wrapped up the Zhang Hu brothers and sisters behind him.
Qin Feng knew in his heart that the two people who were scorching in the heat wave just now would never be able to withstand the cold air. (To be continued...)
