Cao Mulan said: "This should be the largest secret room in the troop transportation and food road."
After a while, the water reached his ankles. Xu Chunliang waded into the water and walked to the west side. On the west side wall, there was a relief of a long dragon. The body of this long dragon almost occupied the entire wall, but this dragon was only It is a small half piece with a head and no tail. The tail part is submerged in the wall, making it look like it came out of the wall.
Xu Chunliang said: "Cao Mengde built this troop transportation and food road back then. He probably didn't want to trap his soldiers in it. I believe there must be a way out. I seem to have seen reliefs of dragon bodies on the well wall. They should be It’s a whole.”
Cao Mulan didn't notice it, mainly because she was not good at water. When she fell into the water, she was only struggling and didn't bother to observe the surrounding environment: "Judging from the movement just now, my father..." She wanted to say my father , but thinking of what Xia Houzun did, how could he accept such a heartless person as his father? Moreover, Xia Houzun also admitted personally that he only raised her and had no blood relationship with her.
Cao Mulan said: "He should have activated the mechanism of the Falling Dragon Stone from the outside. Once the Falling Dragon Stone falls, some passages will be closed forever. Guo Jia originally designed the Falling Dragon Stone just in case. If an enemy attacks from the outside, By entering, we can seal off some passages and trap the enemy in them forever. In the past, we didn’t know there were waterways.”
Xu Chunliang said: "Since you don't know this place, Xiahou Zun must not know either. The well should have been used for drinking by the soldiers. The pool here is connected to the well. If you think about it carefully, there are other things in the troop transportation and food road. Is there a water source in the place?”
Cao Mulan shook his head and said: "I have never discovered that even his daily water is drawn from above."
Xu Chunliang said: "I think there is a dry road and a waterway in this troop transportation and food road. Even if we are trapped on the dry road, we can still get out by taking the waterway."
The water level was still rising, and Cao Mulan was a little worried. If it continued to rise at the current rate, it wouldn't take long before the secret room would be flooded.
Xu Chunliang looked at the faucet and said, "The water should eventually cover that faucet."
Cao Mulan asked: "Do dragons absorb water?" She thought to herself, if the water level did not reach the faucet, wouldn't the whole room be filled with water, and they would definitely die if they couldn't breathe.
Xu Chunliang said: "No wonder I think the structure of this room is a bit strange. In the past, the water level should have submerged the faucet." He suddenly thought that this place is connected with the well water. When the water level here rises, the water level in that well will naturally rise simultaneously. Compared with this place, It is said that the space inside the well is larger. Even if the secret room is completely flooded, the well cannot be submerged. There is enough space for the two of them to breathe.
Xu Chunliang told Cao Mulan his thoughts, and Cao Mulan actually thought about this. Xu Chunliang took her back to the well from the underwater passage. This time, Cao Mulan held her breath the whole time and lay on Xu Chunliang's back. After entering the water, I didn't feel the slightest fear. Instead, I felt warm and close. It should be because the barrier between the two of them was broken.
Cao Mulan secretly thought that although there was no love between them, after all, they were husband and wife. How would she face this relationship in the future? Strangely enough, when she discovered that Shougong Sha had disappeared yesterday, she hated Xu Chunliang. It was so intense that she wished she could cut him into pieces before she could swallow this breath. Now that everything had become real, she no longer had the slightest resentment towards Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang successfully brought Cao Mulan back to the ancient well, so that she could breathe safely and boldly. Cao Mulan was a little worried that Xia Houzun was still hiding nearby, not knowing that what just happened between the two had been heard by Xia Houzun
.
The water level in the well continued to rise, and Xu Chunliang felt full of strength. He tried to climb up the wall of the well, but it was effortless. He originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but after using his inner breath, he felt a pure sensation in his Dantian.
The clear flow is endless. This kind of pure internal power can only be achieved by cultivating the innate realm.
Xu Chunliang realized that this was not due to his own cultivation, but because he absorbed Cao Mulan's Xuanyin energy, which not only quickly repaired his meridians in a short period of time, but also awakened his innate power. Only Xuanyin could
Only the body can have such effect.
Of course, this was also due to Xiahou Zun absorbing most of his internal energy. On the surface, it was a bad thing, but it was precisely because Xiahou Zun did this that he prompted him to break through. Everything was a coincidence, and at the same time it was his fault.
good fortune.
Cao Mulan watched Xu Chunliang climb up the wall of the well like a gecko, feeling envious and worried at the same time. What she envied was that Xu Chunliang was so powerful in martial arts, but what she was worried about was whether he would just run away and leave her alone in the well.
She and Xu Chunliang had only known each other for a day. They had been enemies but not friends before. Xu Chunliang's current situation was ultimately a result of his own gift. He had already obtained his Xuanyin body, which meant that he had lost the ability to use it.
They have no other relationship with each other, so why should Xu Chunliang be responsible for himself?
Xu Chunliang had successfully climbed to the edge of the well. Looking at Cao Mulan who was still holding on to the well wall with both hands and struggling to support him, he smiled and said, "I'm leaving first."
Cao Mulan felt sad, this guy really wanted to leave her behind. She bit her lip. She should have scolded him for being ungrateful, but in the end she just said: "Goodbye!" Not to Xu Chunliang, but to the world.
Cao Mulan completely lost the courage to live. She gave up and prepared to let go of her hands and sink into the water forever.
There was a sound of falling into the water, but Xu Chunliang jumped down again and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't be afraid!"
Cao Mulan was silent, but her heart felt extremely warm. She had seen him right, and he would not abandon her.
Xu Chunliang carried Cao Mulan on his back and climbed up the smooth well wall. Even though he was carrying a person on his back, he was still able to do so easily. Halfway through the climb, Xu Chunliang reminded Cao Mulan to look to the right. Cao Mulan looked intently and saw that it was indeed on the right.
I saw a dragon body from the side.
Xu Chunliang said: This dragon body should be one with the long dragon next door. Look at the direction of the dragon body, and finally it sank into the well wall."
Cao Mulan said: "You mean, are there other places where this dragon can be seen?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I always feel that this long dragon should be more than just a relief. It may hint at the direction of the waterway. Think about it carefully. Have you seen it in other places? Dragon body, dragon tail, or dragon claws, etc.
thing?"
Cao Mulan tried hard to remember, and suddenly said: "I seemed to see claw-like carvings in the Samsara Formation. I didn't know what they were."
Xu Chunliang said in surprise: "That's right, we should be able to find a path along this clue."
While talking, he came to the sealed iron gate. Xu Chunliang adjusted his position and kicked the iron gate open. Cao Mulan's Xuanyin body was of great benefit to him. He used the method of using yang and yin to resolve Cao Mulan's body.
Mulan's meridians were cut off and her Dantian was in danger of bursting, and at the same time he used all the Xuanyin energy in her body for his own use. Xu Chunliang not only repaired the originally damaged meridians, but also successfully awakened his innate power. His current internal strength is compared to
It was purer and more powerful before being sucked away by Xiahou Zun.
Xu Chunliang secretly thought that even if he and Xia Houzun met on a narrow road now, it was hard to say who would win.
The two of them returned to the passage leading to the Samsara Array from the original route.
Cao Mulan came to the exit and saw that the exit had been blocked by a huge rock. It was impossible to move the boulder with human power alone. There was no way forward and she could only retreat to the reincarnation formation.
Xu Chunliang firmly believed that the designer of the troop transportation road would not carve a dragon here for no reason. This dragon must imply something. According to what we have seen so far, it should be a waterway. The dry road is blocked by the Dragon Stone and we can only choose to take the waterway. The waterway
The exit is most likely where the dragon's tail is.
Cao Mulan took Xu Chunliang into the reincarnation array again. She was very familiar with this mortal reincarnation array, and they came to the place where the Peach Blossom Evil was arranged.
Cao Mulan glanced at Xu Chunliang secretly from the corner of her eyes and thought to herself that she led Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang into a trap yesterday. She wanted to seize their leverage and blackmail them into obeying her, but she never expected that Xu Chunliang would take advantage of every opportunity.
, in the end, even I was beaten by him...
Thinking of what happened just now, Cao Mulan's face was full of embarrassment. Xu Chunliang made her experience an unprecedented feeling. She had already let go of her hatred for him, but after experiencing what happened just now, she couldn't hate him anymore, but she actually liked him.
Xu Chunliang said: "Where did you say the dragon's claw is?"
Cao Mulan snorted as if waking up from a dream, discerned the surrounding environment, and relied on memory to come to the place where the dragon claw was found. She squatted down and brushed away the peach blossom evil with her hands.
As expected, a dragon claw appeared on the ground.
Cao Mulan said: "I didn't know what this relief meant at first, but when you told me, I realized that this dragon claw is one with the long dragon we saw underground."
Xu Chunliang said: "I am just guessing, but when Cao Mengde dug such a large underground fortification to hide and transport troops, he must have considered the water problem. The dragon's claws should be the hind claws, and the dragon's tail is probably there.
It’s far away.”
Xu Chunliang knocked on the floor tile engraved with dragon claws and felt that it was empty underneath. He pushed the floor tile away from the edge and saw a bronze faucet below.
Cao Mulan said: "This is a mechanism. Several have been found in the troop transportation and food passages. Generally speaking, the mechanism can be activated by reversing the situation for two weeks."
Cao Mulan twisted the bronze faucet for two weeks, and the faucet slowly lowered. There was a rumbling sound all around, but the stone slab next to them slowly moved away, revealing a dark hole.
Xu Chunliang illuminated the entrance of the cave with a lamp and saw steps going down. He first asked Cao Mulan, who knew nothing about the cave.
Xu Chunliang led the way, letting Cao Mulan follow behind him.
Cao Mulan quietly rolled up her sleeves and took a look. The gongshu sand on her arms was completely gone. This time she would definitely not get it back again, which meant she said goodbye to the past and became a real woman from today on.

I'm a little tired from walking through the mountains today, so I'll give you an update. I'll go home tomorrow and will make up all the chapters I missed recently within the next week.
