The moonlight is like water, the earth is empty and peaceful.
The red gravel underfoot, the large rocks hundreds of feet away, and the rocky mountains further away were all covered by the moonlight like thin smoke, hazy.
Ye Fan and Lao Daobaozi did not have such a peaceful mood. They were definitely close to the Taichu Ancient Mine now. Standing on the blood-colored sand and gravel, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.
The two monks named Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan were trembling, almost unsteady, and their hearts were filled with fear.
"Hechu Ancient Mine" is one of the seven forbidden areas of life in the Eastern Wasteland. Its evil reputation spreads all over the world. Since ancient times, too many terrible things have happened.
"Who can save us? I really don't want to die!"
"How can we escape from here? Lao Daobaozi, do you have any idea? Taoist priest, can you find a way out?"
Their voices were trembling, almost desperate, and their faces were as pale as paper.
It is already less than a hundred miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine, and if we reach this range, we may be in danger.
, "Why are you panicking? We haven't entered the sacred mine. We still have ten miles to go. It's still too late to retreat." Lao Daobozi shouted in a low voice.
"Isn't it said that you will perish if you encounter Taichu? We almost saw it. Is there still a way to survive?" The two of them seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, looking at the old knife handle nervously and expectantly.
"That's because we are close to the Taichu Ancient Mine. We are still far away from each other and have a chance to escape!" Lao Daobaozi didn't want to say anything more, turned around and ran away. Jedi cannot stay in this place for a long time, otherwise they will definitely not live long.
Ye Fan also turned around and left, chasing the handle of the old knife. He felt that he was really unlucky recently. He just wanted to see Taichu from a distance and didn't want to be blown in by the black whirlwind.
Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan were chasing after each other with pale faces. They were already in a state of confusion and lost their opinions. They passively followed Lao Daobaozi and Ye Fan.
Ye Fan and Lao Daobaozi ran for fifty miles in one breath, and then they stopped and took a breath, but then they changed colors again.
"That's not right, how can you still see the Taichu ancient mine!" Lao Daobaozi exclaimed in a low voice.
Ye Fan also felt something was wrong and turned his eyes to look around.
At the end of the sky and the earth, the starlight is like water, "a vast white expanse, falling to the ground" and converging to one place.
There is no doubt that that is the ancient mine of Taichu, and it is still only a few dozen miles away from them!
Uneasiness, fear, anger, sadness and other emotions fluctuated from afar, almost infecting them, just like they did not long ago.
, "How could this happen? We obviously escaped fifty miles away. Why hasn't the distance changed?"
Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan's faces turned green at that time. Their whole bodies, except for their eyeballs, almost every inch of their skin was trembling.
"We are obviously running in...the opposite direction, but why do we seem to be circling around it?"
This result was outrageous, and all four of them were at a loss for words.
"Aren't we still alive? Let's keep running away!" Lao Daobaozi said in a low voice, grabbing his early tobacco pouch and running as fast as flying, rushing hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
By now, Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan were really rolling and crawling, their legs and feet were very weak, and they fell several times before they ran out.
We can't blame them for being timid. You have to know how many Holy Lords have died here since ancient times. In comparison, the two of them are really not worthy of attention.
Ye Fan also murmured in his heart that this situation was somewhat similar to the records in the second half of the Yuan Tianshu. Unfortunately, that part was too profound and he was not able to chew it.
Fifty miles after escaping, the group just stopped and found that they were still the same as before. They still hadn't escaped and were still running around the Taichu Ancient Mine.
, "It's incredible, I can't understand*..." Lao Daozi felt a little stupid. When he was running, he realized that he was moving away from the Taichu Ancient Mine. Once he stopped, he would find that he was going around, not away.
He squatted on the ground, took out his tobacco bag, and started smoking, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.
, "Old Daobaozi, you are still in the mood to smoke..." Li Desheng cried sadly.
"Think of a solution quickly." Chen Huaiyuan was anxious and sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
Ye Fan is now certain that it must be the situation recorded in the second half of the Book of Origin. The Divine Source formed, "field*...", distorting space and interfering with time.
This situation is the most terrifying. It is not done deliberately, but arises naturally from the divine source. It is almost as if it has changed the "rules" and "order" of this world.
Now, their situation is pretty good and they have not gone to dangerous areas. Otherwise, if they touch the unknown laws of heaven and earth, it may be devastating.
,"Taoist priest, did you see something?" Li Desheng looked at him hopefully.
Chen Huaiyuan also came over and said: "My brother said that if he can find a way to take us out, I will definitely reward him generously!"
"I only saw a few clues. This place is too complicated..." Ye Fan told the truth.
It can be seen that the field energy that disturbs this world appears because there are more than one source of God, and the source forces interact with each other and breed naturally.
However, if there are other factors, it would be difficult to predict unless Master Yuan Tianshi comes in person.
, "The ancient mines in Taichu contain divine sources, and they have probably been channeled for a long time." Old Dao Baozi sighed beside him.
"In this case, it will be even more troublesome. If the killing situation evolves on its own, it will have unpredictable and terrifying consequences." Ye Fan frowned.
What's worse is that these are all superficial guesses, and no one knows what is actually there.
, "Can we find a way if we continue to escape?" Ye Fan stood up, he wanted to measure this area.
Just like that, the four of them started running away again.
An hour later, Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan were almost frothing at the mouth and collapsed on the ground. They ran countless "fifty*..." and still could not get away.
, "How could this happen...,...-...", the two of them gasped, almost exhausted.
"Isn't it possible that the divine source here contains living creatures?" Lao Daobaozi said to himself in an inaudible voice.
Ye Fan was silent. This chance was very high, and the feudal race must be extraordinary, which added another variable to this place.
"I heard people say that the Holy Spirit was born in the ancient mine, and even the Dacheng God King of Donghuang would perish if he entered it."
"There is another saying that there are immortals* inside..."
Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan were also sitting on the ground. They said, "After running for such a long time," they were sweating like rain, and they were no longer so scared.
These statements are all superficial, and no one knows the real secret.
All these legends can be called an "introduction". According to the records at the end of "Yuan Tian Shu", they can lead to dozens of times more terrifying speculations.
Ye Fan only studied a small part of the later period of "Yuan Tian Shu", and through what he saw before his eyes, he developed endless awe for the ancient mines of Taichu.
At first glance, the real clues of "that's it..." are not revealed.
According to his speculation, even if he understood the source book, he might not be able to understand the Taichu ancient mine, "True...".
This place is probably far scarier than imagined, and there may be a shocking hidden secret.
Otherwise, why didn't even the real Yuantian Master dare to go in? The first ancestor of the Zhang family was a leader, but he had no choice but to never dare to enter the Taichu ancient mine in his life." This is considered a great regret in his life.
"Are we really going to die here?" Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan looked ugly. When they saw Ye Fan was silent, they thought there was nothing they could do.
"Death is unlikely." Ye Fan stood up and said: "In a few dozen miles, we will have almost circled the ancient mine, and we can almost figure out the situation."
What he was in awe of was the Taichu Ancient Mine, but he didn't get close to it. It was a full **10 miles away. He felt that he might be able to find a way out and find a way to crack it.
After all, this is the edge, not the real core area.
After running for another twenty miles, they finally returned to the starting point and arrived at the place where they started.
, "Taoist Master, I see that you are a lord, a strange person in this industry, you must find a way!"
When Ye Fan heard what Chen Huaiyuan said, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. "The so-called lord is "Master Di", which is another name for the disciples of Master Yuan Tian.
People in this profession spend their entire lives digging mountains and burrows, "haunting under the earth and never seeing the light of day. People who dig for sources of blood are jokingly called Di Ye."
"Taoist Master, Mr. Di, have you figured out a way to escape?" Li Desheng also asked nervously.
"There is a way, but we need to take risks*..."
"How to take risks?" Lao Daobaozi asked as he took a puff of his morning cigarette.
"This time we need to move towards the Taichu ancient mine.
For a few miles, we need to better understand this place, so that we can find a way out of trouble." Ye Fan said calmly.
"Master Chu, are you crazy?!" Chen Huaiyuan jumped up at that time, extremely excited, and said: "How can anyone commit suicide in the Taichu Ancient Mine? Even those Holy Lords only fought to the death when their life span was about to expire.
."
Ye Fan was on the ground, scratching and calculating without raising his head, and said: "Only through such constant measurements can we understand the situation and find a way out."
"Okay, that's it!" Lao Daozhi took a puff of cigarette, put the pot on the ground, knocked it, and stood up.
"For the sake of caution, we will only advance five miles and not go too far*..." Ye Fan took the lead and walked forward.
Li Desheng and Chen Huaiyuan were crying and reluctant, but they did not dare to stay here alone. Now they could only count on this Mr. Di.
After five miles in depth, when they stopped, they were surprised to find that the ground receded with a swipe.
"This is..." Even the old knifeman was startled and his hair stood on end.
We had obviously only walked five miles, but after we stopped, we suddenly went deep into the distance of twenty miles. The starlight converging towards the Taichu Ancient Mine was visible, like a vast white waterfall lying in front of us. "Taoist Master, you are going to kill us..."
..." Chen Huaiyuan said in shock.
"It doesn't matter, let's go back along the original route." Ye Fan was also surprised. The "laws" and "order" here were very distorted.
It's easy to get in but hard to get out. In just twenty miles, the four of them struggled for an hour. They didn't go back at all, but kept going around.
If Ye Fan hadn't carved a special mark on the road according to the "Yuan Tian Shu" in advance, he wouldn't have been able to get out at all.
All the marks left by Lao Daobaozi and others were wiped out and disappeared inexplicably. Only some of the Yuantian patterns left by Ye Fan still remained.
"Why do I feel that I am not walking in a straight line at all, but turning left and right, and going around many curves before I come out?" Lao Daobaozi was puzzled.
"This is caused by the field energy naturally generated by the divine source. Fortunately, it is only on the edge. There are no complicated changes here. We are relatively lucky." Ye Fan replied.
"Can you escape?" Li Desheng asked hurriedly.
"I still need to test it in multiple directions a few times, otherwise, I'm not sure."
"Still trying?!" Chen Huaiyuan was nervous.
, "Do you have a better way?" The old man gave him a sideways glance.
In the next hour, Ye Fan tried several more times. The last one was the most dangerous. He actually traveled thirty miles in one go, and even the old knifeman's face turned pale.
At this moment, we are less than fifty or sixty miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine, and we can clearly see the silver river flowing down from the sky.
The pure white light completely submerged the place, making it appear soft and holy.
"What is that?!" Ye Fan was surprised.
The Taichu ancient mine is underground and it is impossible to see it, but everything in the air can be seen. There are some dazzling things rushing out of the ancient mine, rising and falling.
The sky is full of stars, forming a river, falling down like a waterfall, but those things are even more dead than that, sometimes rising into the sky, sometimes sinking into the ground.
"Maybe it's the source of the gods!" Lao Daobaozi narrowed his eyes and shot out two sharp rays of light.
, "Divine source?!" Ye Fan was surprised. He was not wrapped in stone skin and swallowed the starlight. Could it be that those sources became essence? There was more than one piece, there were four or five light spots floating up and down, and this was only what he could see.
of.
"I saw the corpse..." Li Desheng's lips trembled and his face turned blue.
"What, where?" Ye Fan was surprised.
"It's in the sky above the ancient mine in Taichu, floating up and down, sometimes submerging into the ground, sometimes rising into the starlight." Li Desheng trembled.
"Nonsense*..." Lao Daobaozi scolded: "The Taichu ancient mine is blocked by mysterious powers. Even I can't see clearly. I can only see some light spots. How can you see it?"
"My left eye... is a natural dark eye, and occasionally I can see something special." Li Desheng was extremely frightened at this moment.
,"The left eye is Yin Ming um...,...,...", Lao Daobaozi was surprised.
Ye Fan was also shocked in his heart. He had heard that this kind of eyes is difficult to cultivate the day after tomorrow. They are innate and can see through the darkness.
"What else did you see?!" Ye Fan and Lao Daobaozi asked at the same time.
"Those corpses continued to rise, submerged in the starlight, and then slowly sank, entering the underground. There were many corpses." Li Desheng was almost talking in sleep, and his face had no color at all.
He couldn't see anything else, not even the source of the gods. His cultivation was not enough, and his left eye could only occasionally see clearly the Yin Ming.
According to what he said, Ye Fan and Lao Daobazi could already imagine the scene sixty miles away.
In the ancient mine of Taichu, in the silver waterfall hanging from the sky, there are corpses bathing in the holy starlight, sinking and floating.
This scene, just... um, made them tremble with fear. What on earth is going on?!
In addition, there are light spots and other things rising and falling, which can be vaguely seen.
"No wonder the Yuantian Master of the Zhang family, a generation of strange people, dare not enter the ancient mine of Taichu..." Ye Fan thought to himself, this place is too mysterious.
"Buzz"
Suddenly, a huge suction force occurred at the Taichu Ancient Mine. The starlight in the sky was suddenly drained, and the sky was completely dark, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
The ground seems to have a huge black hole that can swallow everything.
