Originally, Yun Yan had a headache after hearing Lu Yingjie's request. After all, he was not a disciple of the Sword Sect. If Xie Yiming chose to compromise, he would most likely be left outside the door.
As a result, Yun Yan could not find what Su Xuan wanted in person, but when he felt depressed, Cheng Ge helped him intentionally or unintentionally.
Because Cheng Ge knew in his heart that Yun Yan, as an outsider, could actually come to the ruins with Xie Yiming and his wife to hunt for treasures, and the relationship between him and Meng Zirou seemed a bit unusual, which meant that Yun Yan was at least better to them than those useless royal guards. Sword Sect disciples are more important.
Cheng Ge's purpose in doing this is actually to make Yunyan become a burden to Xie Yiming, because among the three of them, Xie Yiming is the strongest, and although Meng Zirou is nominally Xie Yiming's wife, she is Meng Ziyi's sister, so , who can touch her?
Therefore, Cheng Ge seemed to be helping Yun Yan, but in fact it was just to contain Xie Yiming and his wife to the greatest extent.
Lu Yingjie naturally knew Cheng Ge's intentions, and he was not disgusted with Yun Yan either. After all, the boy's flattery just now made him quite comfortable.
So, Lu Yingjie nodded and said.
"This guy looks pretty nice, and he talks nicely, so I don't have any objections."
Xie Yiming didn't know what to say when he saw this. After all, he had promised Su Xuan to take Yunyan into the Titan ruins. Now that Cheng Ge and Lu Yingjie didn't have any objections to Yunyan, he would just go with the flow, which could be regarded as showing favor to Su Xuan. An explanation.
But Meng Zirou doesn't have as many thoughts as others. If she were left to decide, Meng Zirou would probably choose to bring Yun Yan with her.
After all, Yun Yan had been saying nice things about her these days, so how could Meng Zirou reject a man who was not only good-looking, but also knew how to please her.
As for the other candidate, Xie Yiming turned his attention to a tall and thin young man among all the disciples and said.
"Xie Wenbin, please go in with the master."
Hearing Xie Yiming's words, Xie Wenbin replied excitedly.
"As you command, Master!"
Then, Cheng Ge turned around and said to Wu Fengshan and Bei Haichi.
"Elder Wu is decisive in his actions and has superb cultivation. You will accompany me into the Titan ruins. Elder Bei has always been steady and cautious, so you will stay at the entrance of the cave and wait. If anything goes wrong, immediately send a soul snail message to inform Elder Wu and me. "
Upon hearing this, the two of them had no objections and immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone had made arrangements, Xie Yiming walked towards the stone gate of the ruins, with Cheng Ge following closely behind. Lu Yingjie then took out the fragment of the Rongtian Cauldron and put it into the corresponding groove.
Suddenly, Lu Yingjie's fragment was seen emitting a beam of light that shot toward the center of the stone door. Obviously, there were still two such beams left.
So Xie Yiming and Cheng Ge put the fragments in their hands into the grooves on the stone door in turn. When the three beams of light converged in the center of the stone door, everyone suddenly heard a dull friction sound.
As the sound gradually disappeared, everyone discovered that the stone door did not open automatically, but the three fragments of the Fusion Sky Cauldron embedded in the stone door had disappeared.
Xie Yiming looked at Lu Yingjie in surprise and asked.
"How is this going?"
Lu Yingjie then carefully examined the cracked gaps in the stone door. He found that the thickness of the stone door was far beyond his expectation.
Moreover, Lu Yingjie probed inside the only gap for a long time, and finally he determined the situation inside the entrance.
Lu Yingjie turned around slowly and said to everyone helplessly.
"They are indeed very cautious. Behind this stone door is a passage hundreds of feet long. If I guessed correctly, this passage is indeed not the main entrance to the Titan ruins, because there seem to be many human skeletons in the passage. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Xie Yiming continued to ask.
"Isn't this the exit from the Titan ruins?"
However, Lu Yingjie shook his head and replied.
"I don't know about this, but I found that the crawling directions of the corpses were all facing outwards. This means that they may have known that they could get out from here, but they just didn't climb out."
At this moment, Meng Zirou said casually.
"Maybe they don't even know how to open the door."
When Meng Zirou said this, Lu Yingjie suddenly reacted and saw him nodding slowly.
"According to what you said, there should be a similar mechanism behind this stone door. If anyone wants to get out, they must crack the mechanism behind the stone door."
After hearing Lu Yingjie's inference, Cheng Ge asked with some confusion.
"Why did they set up such a stone door? Even if it is used as an escape route, there is no need to go to such trouble."
Lu Yingjie also agreed with Cheng Ge's view, because the bones in the passage really wanted to come out from here, but when everyone was silent, Yun Yan suddenly interrupted.
"If both sides of a door are equipped with mechanisms to open it, does that mean there is no distinction between inside and outside on both sides of the door?"
Yun Yan's meaningless words made Lu Yingjie suddenly realize, and he suddenly smiled.
"I just told you that you are not simple at all. I was wondering what was going on. You made me understand the reason with just one sentence."
Yun Yan just discussed the matter as he did not think of a more reasonable explanation, but Lu Yingjie figured out the secret of the entrance to the ruins based on his words.
Just listen to Lu Yingjie continue talking.
"According to my inherited memory, this Titan clan seems to have never participated in the battles in the world of cultivation, but a race like them that is good at refining weapons will definitely not be able to stay out of trouble if they encounter troubled times.
Therefore, they may have completely isolated their race from the outside world in order to stay in a corner and avoid the disputes in the world. "
Hearing Lu Yingjie's explanation, Yun Yan suddenly remembered that the Haotian Mirror's weapon spirit had said before that the Huanglong clan, an ancient alien race of gods, always liked to remain neutral, and this Titan remnant was a descendant of the Huanglong clan. It seemed that they were really of the same blood.
But what Xie Yiming was thinking about at the moment was whether they would be trapped in the ruins forever like the bones in the passage once they entered.
"I didn't expect that we worked so hard to open the entrance to the ruins, but now no one dares to go in. This is really ironic."
Lu Yingjie smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
"If the three fragments of the Fusion Heaven Cauldron are still there, we don't have to worry so much, but now all the artifact fragments have disappeared. Even if we want to give up, I'm afraid no one will be willing to give up this opportunity. Let it go."
Cheng Ge, who had been silent all this time, spoke now.
"Just now, you were all scrambling for fear that the treasure would be snatched away by others. Why are you cowering now? In this case, let's go in first. If you are afraid, it is best not to follow. This will save me the trouble of fighting with you. .”
As he spoke, Cheng Ge stepped forward to open the entrance stone door, but Lu Yingjie suddenly stood in front of Cheng Ge and said with a smile on his face.
"Sister Cheng Ge, don't be impatient. Even if you want to go in, you have to have someone in front to help you clear the way. What's more, Sect Master Xie just said that he will lead everyone into the Titan ruins."
Hearing Lu Yingjie's words, Cheng Ge turned to Xie Yiming and asked.
"Have you made up your mind, Sect Leader Xie? Everyone is waiting for your decision."
Forced by helplessness, Xie Yiming had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.
"In that case, I will take the lead, and all you have to do is follow."
After receiving Xie Yiming's affirmative answer, everyone finally felt confident. After all, if the sky falls, there will always be taller people who bear it first. If there is danger in the cave, Xie Yiming will also bear the brunt.
Immediately, Xie Yiming came to the stone door at the entrance. He stretched out his hand and pressed it gently on the stone door. Then, after testing it a few times in different directions, up, down, left, and right, the stone door slowly rose driven by his powerful soul power.
Behind the stone gate is a dark road
After a little exploration of the passage, Xie Yiming had a general understanding of the situation inside the passage.
Then Xie Yiming turned around and warned Meng Zirou.
"Madam, you must follow me closely later. If anything happens, I can protect you."
Meng Zirou nodded slightly when she heard the words, and then she said to Yun Yan and Xie Wenbin beside her.
"You two are just following me..."
But before Meng Zirou could finish speaking, Wu Fengshan interrupted Meng Zirou and said.
"What kind of status is our Lord, how can he follow these two brats?"
"Then what do you want?"
Meng Zirou felt a little baffled. Originally, she was dissatisfied with Cheng Ge and Lu Yingjie's teaming up to push Xie Yiming to the front. Now Wu Fengshan was acting so unreasonably, which made Meng Zirou, who was already arrogant, a little angry.
However, Wu Fengshan said coldly.
"This passage is so narrow that we have to crawl if we want to pass through it. However, the Lord is a woman. How unbecoming would it be if we were following two men?"
Meng Zirou immediately retorted after hearing this.
"What does this have to do with me? I am also a woman, so why don't I follow my husband as well?"
"Yes, you also know that Master Xie is your husband, but who are these two guys? How can they be in front of the Master?"
Meng Zirou really couldn't bear this tone, because Wu Fengshan still didn't take her seriously in the final analysis, which made Meng Zirou even more annoyed, and she said with a sneer.
"Isn't it just that you are afraid that your demon master will follow a man? But this is what you asked for. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking.
Since you can let my husband be your shield, why can't your demon master suffer this injustice? Besides, everyone is not the same after entering the passage. No one is allowed to crawl forward like a dog, causing trouble in your family. The demon lord is superior to others. "
Meng Zirou's words completely tore off Wu Fengshan's fig leaf, but she also knew that this was indeed a bit too much for Cheng Ge. After all, she was still the leader of the party no matter what.
But if she is really allowed to follow Xie Wenbin, then this incident will definitely become a reason for her to laugh at Cheng Ge in the future.
Just when Meng Zirou and Wu Fengshan were locked in a stalemate, Lu Yingjie stepped forward and joined in the fun.
"I'm talking to Elder Wu, I don't agree with your suggestion of looking ahead and ignoring the bottom. Sister Cheng Ge really can't follow these two boys, but have you ever thought about who is qualified to follow Cheng Ge? Where’s the song sister’s… behind?”
