"And the area around the ground fire will be extremely hot. I guess there is an underground passage here and the fire is man-made. I still don't know if the people inside have a chance of survival." Bai Ling squatted down and felt the temperature of the ground surface.
, said with great certainty: "It's definitely not earth fire."
"Underground passage?" The fifth elder exclaimed and hurriedly ran toward the thick smoke.
The faces of the other elders didn't look good either, and they all headed towards the place where the smoke was billowing.
Yun Ming was sweating anxiously, but he kept hesitating whether to turn on the mechanism.
Seeing this, Bai Ling walked slowly towards the direction of the elders, but said: "It's really strange, who wants to set the fire? Or is it an accident? If the fire is deliberately set, it can only be said that someone can't think of it.
If you want to burn yourself to death, you must hate yourself so much! Just thinking about being burned to death makes you feel very uncomfortable!"
Yun Ming suddenly raised his head and looked at the billowing smoke, with a look of madness in his eyes.
All the previous worries were completely thrown away because of Bai Ling's words.
Pushing away the disciple who was supporting him, Yun Ming frantically ran to the middle of the pile of rocks, kicking the pile of rocks away as if he didn't know the pain.
"Senior Brother Yun, what are you doing?" Bai Ling exclaimed.
Not to mention the five elders, many disciples also looked over, looking at the usually steady Yun Ming in disbelief.
However, they only saw Yun Ming move a few stones, and then heard the sound of moving boulders, and everyone's attention was diverted again.
"There is a secret passage!" A disciple exclaimed, but because the smoke was too heavy, he did not dare to move forward.
But Yun Ming rushed towards the cave entrance regardless, and the elder quickly shouted: "Hold him!"
Several disciples threw down the buckets and restrained Yun Ming. For the sake of safety, they dragged Yun Ming back a few steps, but they were choked by the thick smoke and coughed.
"Yun Ming, you're crazy!" the second elder shouted, and he was already standing near Yun Ming.
None of the five elders knew that there was a secret passage here, but Yun Ming was able to open the mechanism, so they had doubts in their hearts.
But until everything was clear, the five elders were unwilling to see anything happen to Yun Ming.
Although the three Yunming brothers and sisters are disciples of Mr. Shang, Mr. Shang rarely stays in Yaowang Valley. Therefore, the five elders have also taught the three of them, and they can be regarded as half masters.
"Let me go down! Aoxue is still in the secret passage. She is waiting for me to save her. Let me go!" Yun Ming struggled hard, but it was useless. He could only shout hysterically.
"What are you talking about? How come Aoxue is in the secret passage?" The great elder's face turned gloomy, and he didn't understand why Yun Ming was so sure.
"No one knows the existence of this place except Aoxue. It must be Aoxue who set the fire. Let me go quickly and let me save people." Yun Ming just wants to save people and no longer cares about the consequences.
From the moment he opened the mechanism, Yun Ming knew that there was no way to hide things.
If the delay continues, Aoxue will really have no choice but to die.
The expressions on the faces of several elders became a little more ugly. The third elder reprimanded: "Nonsense! Even if Aoxue knew about this secret passage, there was no reason to set fire to it, let alone stay in the secret passage after setting fire."
"Everything I said is true!" Yun Ming looked at the elders with his red eyes and suddenly laughed wildly, "I know you don't believe what I said, but now I just want to save Aoxue."
"Senior Brother Yun, stop making trouble. Today is a happy day for you and Senior Sister Aoxue. How could Senior Sister Aoxue be so obsessed with committing suicide?" Bai Ling spoke at the right time, deliberately irritating Yun Ming.
Everything in the secret passage must be known to others.
However, in order to prevent innocent casualties, Bai Ling had to ask Yun Ming to explain something.
"Haha!" Yun Ming laughed up to the sky and said sadly: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have forced Aoxue to marry me after discovering her secret! If it hadn't been for this, Aoxue wouldn't be here today.
I chose this way to end it! It was me who harmed Aoxue, it was I who forced Aoxue to death!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What secrets does Aoxue have that you will threaten? What did you do to Aoxue?" As soon as Xue Hongyan heard Yun Ming's words, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his collar, asking angrily.
After learning that Aoxue was missing, Xue Hongyan took a large amount of hangover medicine and was only half drunk.
"This is a matter between Aoxue and me, it has nothing to do with you!" Yun Ming roared.
"Two senior brothers, now that Senior Sister Aoxue's whereabouts are unknown, this is not the time to argue about this." Bai Ling stepped forward to break up the fight, but stood three steps away to prevent him from being harmed. "Senior Brother Yun, have you found out?
What, is there any need to hide it now? Tell me so that everyone can be prepared and know how to save Senior Sister Aoxue."
Yun Ming knew that the matter could no longer be hidden. He took a deep look at Bai Ling and saw that her face was pale but worried, and her anger faded a bit.
As for how sincere Bai Ling was, Yun Ming didn't want to find out now, and there was no need.
Yun Ming briefly told the story of Jiang following Aoxue and discovering the secret passage and the poisonous man.
Except for Bai Ling, who pretended to be shocked, everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe that Aoxue would do such a thing that would endanger the sect, and it was even more unconscionable.
It's just that everyone has never seen a poisonous person, and they don't know how terrifying a poisonous person is. They just think it is against humanity.
"Everyone, put out the fire quickly and pour water into the hole. The more water, the better."
Bai Ling was the first to 'come back to his senses' and ordered: "The smoke in the secret passage is too heavy, and people can't get down at all. Now we can only divide the disciples into two groups, and one group will pour water into the entrance of the cave.
If there is a real fire, it can be extinguished quickly. Others, if you find a soft place and dig a hole, you may still have time."
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and follow the Young Master's instructions!" the great elder shouted loudly.
The five elders exchanged a silent look, the meaning of which was only known to them, but their expressions were solemn.
Bai Ling didn't notice the expressions of the elders, but told the disciples: "Everyone, be careful, don't be left alone, call for help immediately if you find something unusual, don't show off your personal heroism, your safety is the most important.
"
Bai Ling was afraid that something unexpected might happen, but after hearing this, all the disciples felt that Master Shao Gu was caring about them, and they all became more cautious.
Yun Ming also knew that he could not go to the underground palace at this time. If something happened to him, who else could protect Aoxue?
Therefore, Yun Ming knelt on the ground, but his eyes never left the entrance. As long as the smoke subsided, he would be the first to go in.
Since Aoxue can quietly build the underground palace in Yaowang Valley, there should be an entrance outside Yaowang Valley. Maybe Aoxue has left...
Thinking of this possibility, Yun Ming's eyes became vacant and lifeless.
Yun Ming hopes Aoxue lives, even if he never sees her again in this life.
But if Aoxue leaves the underground palace by burning it down, then who is he?
Would Aoxue rather die or be killed in an explosion than be his Yun Ming's wife?
And when the poisonous man's story is made public, will Yaowang Valley let Aoxue go?
Xue Hongyan always stood beside Yun Ming. At this moment, his mood was very complicated. He couldn't believe everything he heard. Even if Yun Ming's attitude didn't seem to be a lie, he couldn't accept that Aoxue would actually do something to deceive the teacher and destroy him.
ancestral matters.
"Young Valley Master, this side has been excavated!" Suddenly a disciple reported loudly, but the distance was a bit far away. (To be continued)
