Yun Ji knew that he must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have stared at it.
Sure enough, Niu Youdao, who was clinging to the stone wall with one hand and holding the luminous pearl in the other, suddenly turned around and made a gesture amidst the clattering movement, indicating that there was something behind the stone.
Yun Ji immediately waved her palm, but Niu Youdao waved urgently towards her, seemingly signaling her not to destroy the stone.
Yun Ji nodded knowingly, but found that the boulder was washed away by the water and was smooth. She had no way to use her strength, so she pressed her palm on the boulder, cast a spell to absorb it, and dragged it outwards. Finally, she kicked off the cliff with her feet.
Buzz! The air current surged, and the powerful rushing waterfall was knocked away.
A nearly ten-foot-long stalagmite was pulled out like a carrot and fell into the water along the rapids.
Boom, the falling rocks made a mixed sound of breaking water in the dark pool below.
Yunji, who pulled out the boulder and flew out of the waterfall, rushed into the water curtain and found a dark hole on the cliff.
Niu Youdao had already stepped forward and stood at the entrance of the cave, holding the night pearl to explore inside. Yun Ji also stepped inside.
The two looked at each other, and Yun Ji touched the stone wall at the entrance of the cave and said, "There are traces of manual excavation."
Niu Youdao took the luminous pearl and observed the surrounding stone walls, slowly walking deeper.
Yunji summoned the moon butterfly again and let it fly in front of it to provide lighting.
There was a thin layer of water flowing under the feet of the two people. The entrance of the cave was not waterproof at a good angle, and some water from the waterfall flowed into the cave.
The ground is slippery, making it easy for ordinary people to fall. The terrain sloped downwards, and not long after the two walked, artificially dug steps appeared.
After walking a long distance and no longer hearing the sound of the waterfall outside, I walked for a while and finally heard the rumbling sound of water flowing again.
When the mist hit their faces, the two of them appeared on a dark cliff.
Moon butterflies were flying in the mist, and the two found themselves in a barrel-shaped abyss. Two waterfalls pouring down from the left and right were like two white dragons penetrating the bottom of the barrel. I don’t know where the water comes from and where it goes. It was bottomless below, but the two of them stood on a broken bridge.
It can be seen from the fracture that this was originally a natural stone bridge, which should have been formed by the impact of water flowing up and down. I don't know when it broke. There was a distance of about half a foot in the middle, and there was a dark hole at the opposite end of the bridge.
In such an isolated place, with such a location, and the traces of man-made artifacts, the two of them had basically confirmed that they had found the right place.
Yunji drove Yue Die into the opposite cave to explore. The two of them saw the hollow inside. After looking at each other and nodding, Yunji moved over to investigate first. After confirming that there was no problem, she turned back and waved, checking Niu Youdao at the bottom of the abyss from time to time. Then it flew past.
After entering the cave for more than ten feet, another downward step appeared, and the downward trend was twists and turns.
It can be seen that, like the previous passage, this was originally a natural underground fissure. Later, in order to facilitate walking, someone simply processed it.
However, judging from the processing traces, there are not too many digging points caused by ordinary people. They were swept out with all their strength. They should have been dug by monks.
As we walked zigzag downwards for an unknown amount of time, the temperature became lower and lower, giving people a sense of coldness.
As we go deeper, it becomes bitingly cold, but there are no signs of ice forming on the water droplets on the wall. With our eyes, we can see traces of yin energy floating around.
Going deeper, Yuedie seemed to be unable to endure it, and flapped her wings and refused to move forward. Yunji had no choice but to put Yuedie away and said, "I'm afraid it's already seven or eight hundred feet deep underground."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly. He couldn't figure out how deep this twisting and turning was, but he believed that Yun Ji, who was good at escaping from the ground, would be right.
Yun Ji reminded: "The yin energy is getting heavier and heavier."
Niu Youdao: "The heavier the yin energy, the more it means you are looking for the right place."
Yun Ji was puzzled, "Who created such a secret passage down there, and what is hidden here?" She didn't know what was going on with the map on the sword, and she didn't know what she was looking for here, but she knew this The Hidden Place will never be simple.
Niu Youdao: "You will know later."
The two whispered and there were echoes, and they continued to move forward and down by the light of the night pearl.
Perhaps because it was too dark, the light of the night pearl seemed to be compressed into a small ball, and the Yin Qi floating in front of it added an eerie and mysterious feeling to the underground space.
After walking for a while, the two gradually felt the airflow accelerating, and the floating Yin Qi surged more intensely.
Soon, the two of them reached the end of the tunnel, where an underground space looked like a stone chamber.
There was a cave door in the stone room, but it was blocked by a spherical boulder. Yunji saw something through the light of the night pearl, and raised her finger, "Look!"
Niu Youdao raised the night pearl and looked around. He saw four big characters engraved on the top of the blocked boulder, or on the lintel of the blocked cave door: Blue Blood Heart!
"The words on your sword." Yun Ji turned around to remind.
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "It seems that this place is indeed related to Mr. Dongguo."
Yun Ji asked: "Is this done by your master Dongguo Haoran of the Shangqing Sect?"
"It should be." Niu Youdao sighed, and walked to the blocking boulder to check. He found that the blocking was relatively rough. At least the edge of the boulder did not fully match the cave door. There were large and small gaps, and bursts of The dark wind blows out from this gap.
Looking back, Niu Youdao threw out the luminous pearl again and cast a virtual photo, causing the luminous pearl to fly several times in the stone chamber for illumination, making it easier to see the entire environment of the stone chamber.
The stone chamber is also very rough, but it makes people understand how such a large blocking stone came in through a small passage.
Yun Ji: "The sealing stone is made from local materials, and it was for the purpose of digging out the sealing stone that we created such a basement."
Niu Youdao pinched the flying night pearl between his two fingers and backed away, "Now that I'm here, I must go in and take a look and remove the blocking stone. Try not to make too much noise or wake up the things inside, for fear that It will be very troublesome.”
Is there anything inside that can be awakened? Yun Ji was surprised, "What is it?"
Niu Youdao: "I'm not sure whether it exists. I'm here to confirm it. Just be careful. If it exists, you will see it."
Yun Ji immediately became more cautious, walked to the blocking stone, grabbed the boulder with both hands, and cast a spell to break it back.
Buzz! The boulder shook, the gap became slightly larger, and the cold wind blowing out of it immediately became stronger.
"Be gentle." Niu Youdao reminded again, holding the luminous pearl in his hand to help illuminate.
Yun Ji nodded slightly, worked hard to control the strength and speed of the spell, and carefully rolled the round sealing stone backward slowly.
The boulders rolled with a dull buzzing sound, and the slightly uneven ground crackled under the weight of the heavy objects.
As the blocking stone was completely removed, the dark wind inside blew out, making the clothes of the two people flutter.
These were the two of them. Ordinary people would be seriously ill immediately if they were hit by such a strong evil wind.
The air flow seemed to be connected, and a "snoring" sound came from the darkness inside.
The round boulder rolled to a corner of the stone room. Yunji was afraid that it would roll, so she cast a spell and cut a stone from the stone wall and placed it under the boulder as a precaution.
Looking back in the dark wind, he found that Niu Youdao had stood on the wind outlet against the wind, standing on the door of the stone door, and slowly pinched the luminous pearl with his palm, blocking the light of the luminous pearl.
"What's wrong?" Yun Ji walked up to him and asked, then she was speechless and realized what was going on.
She also saw the same thing. There were many red dots in the dark void ahead, very tiny red dots, faint red lights that seemed to be as big as mosquitoes. There were many, countless.
That was no ordinary red light. Every wisp of faint red light the size of a mosquito exuded a sense of evil and erratic floating. As the saying goes, it exuded evil nature and evil energy.
It stands to reason that there is light, which can help the Dharma Eye see clearly what is in the void inside, but this red light is obviously unusual. It has no lighting effect at all. On the contrary, it makes people unable to see the situation inside more and more clearly, and it seems to have a sense of concealment and charm.
"What is it?" Yun Ji was surprised and her voice was a little softer, thinking of Niu Youdao's previous words not to wake up the things inside.
Niu Youdao didn't answer. He stood in the whistling wind and looked around with his Dharma eyes. He suddenly took a breath, then took two steps forward, walked to the side of the stone door and stretched out his hand to fumble around.
Yun Ji didn't know what he was groping for, but suddenly she heard a dull pulling sound, and then heard a gurgling liquid coming out and flowing.
This time Yun Ji also smelled the strong pungent smell of fire oil.
Niu Youdao raised his hand, and his fingers were already stained with black oil. His hand shook slightly, and buzzed. The black oil on his fingers instantly ignited, whistling in the wind, and was almost blown out, but was blocked by Niu Youdao's quick spell. The cold wind blows.
He lit the flame with his finger and pointed it to the side of the stone gate. Buzz! A ball of flame suddenly burned and instantly turned into a fire dragon and spread away.
Yun Ji looked along the fire dragon and saw a stream of flowing oil and water flowing out of the slot next to the stone door and flowing along a stone trough. Wherever the fire oil flowed, the burning fire dragon followed.
A huge underground space gradually appeared under the spreading firelight.
The fire dragon continued to spread and circled in the huge underground space, forming a large fire pit in the center.
There is a flagpole in the middle of the fire pit, and a big flag flutters in the cold wind. The flag is embroidered with large Chinese characters "Shang", fluttering in the wind!
The "snoring" sound that I heard outside before was coming from this big flag.
The terrain in the huge underground space is uneven, but there are weapons everywhere, like a forest of swords, guns, swords and halberds, the edge is still the same, the cold light is moving, and there are many armors flashing under the firelight.
At first glance, this scene is really spectacular, like a large underground weapons depot, with the firelight highlighting the solemn majesty of the killing.
What attracted Yun Ji's attention even more was that on every weapon or armor, there was a cloud of floating black mist that had not been blown away for a long time. There were outlines of birds inside. To be precise, they were birds. crow.
Youyu Crow's eyes were closed tightly, with faint wisps of red light floating in the slits of his eyes.
Countless crows and countless wisps of red light were exactly the mosquito-like tiny red lights they saw before.
These Youyu Jackdaws, silent on the Yinfeng Swordsman, seemed to be sleeping.
