I hesitated for a moment, then opened the secret passage and walked down cautiously.
This secret passage had previously been shaken by the entire Maoshan Mountain when Chen Mie and the ten-thousand-year-old evil creature died together, and this secret passage was sealed by falling rocks.
But now, as I go deeper into the secret passage, I feel more and more frightened.
I saw that a new tunnel had been dug out of this secret passage that was originally filled with fallen rocks. I walked in slowly and it was smooth all the way!
"Someone has definitely been in there!!" I became more and more sure.
The secret passage is long and goes all the way down. After a while, I have arrived at the place where evil spirits have been suppressed for thousands of years.
I looked intently and saw darkness in front of me, but the heavy iron prison not far away had already been opened.
My heart suddenly sank!
Who on earth was able to re-excavate this secret tunnel on Maoshan Mountain without any fuss? How could he even hide it from me?
Could it be that old fox from Yuntian?
"It can't be him!" I shook my head. Although Yuntian is very powerful, it is simply not realistic to dig a new secret passage at once!
If it wasn’t Yuntian, then who could it be?
Masked man? That is even more impossible. He has only been in Maoshan for a few days, and there is no way he can open this secret passage...
I suddenly became more and more suspicious. If it wasn't Yuntian or the masked man, who else could dig this secret tunnel again on Maoshan except them?
I was puzzled and could only shake my head, then looked at the nine-layered iron prison in the distance.
At the end of the iron prison, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see anything at all.
I thought to myself that the bones of old man Chen Mie should still be there, and I had to go and have a look. No matter what, he was still my nominal master, so I had to take his bones out and give him a grand burial.
…
A few minutes later, I passed through many iron prisons and came to the end of the iron prison.
I looked closely and saw that at the end of the iron prison was a thick wall, and on the wall, there were several thick iron chains hanging.
But it was empty under the iron chain, and there was no sign of the ten thousand-year-old evil thing.
I was shocked!
I saw it with my own eyes when old man Chen Mie died together with the ten thousand year evil thing that was chained up. But now, why did the ten thousand year evil thing disappear?
In fact, I didn’t even see the corpse of the ten-thousand-year-old evil thing!
Only next to the corner, I saw a corpse sitting cross-legged on the ground. The corpse had been weathered into a skeleton, but from the clothes he was wearing, I could tell that he was dead!
My eyes suddenly turned red and I had mixed feelings in my heart.
On that day, Chen Chen sacrificed himself and chose to die together with the ten thousand-year-old evil. Now, his body is still there, but it has been weathered into a skeleton that ordinary people cannot recognize.
I shouted silently in my heart: "Old guy, I'm here to pick you up..."
Chen Mie's corpse was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Even until his death, he still maintained the posture of a Maoshan Taoist priest chanting sutras...
When I picked up the bones of old man Chen Mie, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a small word carved under his body.
I quickly looked down and saw that the small characters were a little blurry, but I could still tell that it was the character "zhou"!
"week?"
My mind was stunned. There was no doubt that the handwriting belonged to old man Chen Mie, but how could he write such a word on the ground?
The word "zhou" was written very lightly. It was obviously written by old man Chen Mie using his last vitality. It was just such an ordinary word, and I was a little confused all of a sudden!
Zhou, is obviously a person’s name!
But after thinking about it, I realized that apart from me, there is no one named Zhou...
"Does he want to write my name?" Suddenly an idea flashed in my head.
I thought about it for a long time, and my mind became more and more doubtful.
I gritted my teeth and carried old man Chen Mie's body on my back, preparing to take it out for a grand burial.
But just when I was about to leave, suddenly, I felt a figure rushing out of the nine-layer iron prison!
"Who is it?" I blurted out and yelled.
I saw that figure moving very fast. Before I could finish my words, he was already heading towards the exit of the secret passage...
When I saw this, I quickly picked up the body of old man Chen Mie and quickly chased him out!
But I couldn't catch up with that figure at all. I only saw that figure leaving a black shadow on me, and then ran out along the secret passage.
I caught up to the small black room, but the black shadow had disappeared.
I hurried out of the small dark room and found that Yisong outside the door also had a wary face.
"Master, there was a dark shadow flashing past just now. I didn't have time to chase it..." Yisong said.
"I saw it too!" I had an uneasy premonition in my heart. There was such a being on Maoshan Mountain. It was so fast that even I couldn't catch up with it using Tiangang Steps.
At this time, Yisong saw the bones on my back.
Without waiting for him to ask, I said: "Go and call the two elders Yunyue and Yunshan..."
"Yes!" Yisong said quickly.
Soon, in a short while, in the middle of the night, Yunyue and Yunshan hurried over with a few disciples.
And when they saw the bones of old man Chen Mie on my back, they suddenly showed grief and anger.
"It's Uncle Chen Mie..." Yunyue said.
I nodded, feeling a little heavy in my heart.
Yunyue and Yunshan looked at each other, and immediately knelt down on the ground, carefully placing the bones of Chen Mie, and then called the few disciples who came with them to find a good coffin.
In the middle of the night, Yunyue and Yunshan were busy working on old man Chen Mie's death, but at this moment, I heard a tragic cry not far away.
I was shocked!
"What's going on?" Yunshan couldn't help but asked.
I looked up and found that the place where the screams came from was the forbidden underground prison where Yunyue was imprisoned.
"No, maybe the traitor Yuntian is trying to escape!" Yunyue on the side said in shock.
I gritted my teeth and immediately said to them: "Elder Yunshan is responsible for taking care of my master's body. Elder Yunyue and Yisong will follow me to the forbidden underground prison to check out the situation!"
I quickly led Yunyue and Yisong to the forbidden underground prison!
And when we arrived, I found that the few disciples guarding the underground cell were all dead.
Their corpses fell to the ground in pieces. Looking at it, each of them had their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something horrifying and weird before they died.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but secretly screamed "bad!"
But when I actually came in and my eyes fell on the iron prison where Yuntian was imprisoned, my heart suddenly shook violently!
