Cangshan.
Lanling Underground Palace.
More than a hundred burning torches have been extinguished, and only the night pearl on the nine-story jade pagoda emits a faint light in the darkness.
Prince Jin's wife and several female relatives fell into a coma again. Young Master Jin, Yao Shen, Yao Tian and other family members, as well as thirty or forty guards, sat slumped on the ground, like fish out of the lake, with their mouths wide open, but they were breathing hard and looked painful.
A group of Immortal Sect disciples were safe and sound, but they sat around silently.
Looking at the situation of Young Master Jin's family, no one can do anything. Although the Lanling Underground Palace is large, it is airtight. After a long time, it will inevitably make people breathless. I'm afraid that in a few hours, dozens of people will suffocate to death.
"Mr. Mo, Mr. Ge..."
Young Master Jin stretched out his hand to grab his chest, his facial features were distorted, and he struggled to speak: "You two are immortals... omnipotent immortals... I want to get along with you, help me..."
Mo Xiao lowered his head and remained silent.
She didn't dare answer.
Because of her mistake, dozens of innocent lives were about to be lost. But she was helpless and could only fall into guilt for a long time!
The smile on Ge Xuan's face had long since disappeared, and he sighed sadly: "Alas, neither immortals nor mortals can escape the mercy of heaven and the cycle of life and death!"
Leng Chen, Che Ju, Bai Zhi, Pu Tong, Bian Ji, Lu Zheng, Gu Muzi and Chen Qi are all breathing in and out. The body of a cultivator is a world of its own, and as long as the technique is running, he will not suffocate to death. And once the cultivation level is exhausted and there is no spiritual stone to absorb, the consequences will be equally disastrous.
At this moment, no one cares about the life and death of Young Master Jin's family.
Yu Ye sat alone and silently looked at the nine-story jade pagoda in the middle of the underground palace. His eyes flickered slightly and his expression was thoughtful.
Mo Xiao once talked to him, as if he wanted to reveal something, but in the end he said nothing. Instead, he asked him in public for advice on how to escape.
Why did Uncle Mo become so hesitant? What was she worried about and worried about?
Even when Huang Mo was killed, she remained silent and did not blame anyone.
Huang Mo doesn't deserve to die. Only by keeping him alive can we find a way out and force him to tell the story of Yunchuan Xianmen's concubine. As a result, he was killed by Pu Tong, Bian Ji, and Gu Muzi together, and the reason was very good. It seemed blameless, but it was also weird everywhere.
From morning to night, more than ten hours have passed. It is estimated that it is already late at night, and perhaps all the young master Jin and his family will die before dawn. These are dozens of living lives!
Yu Ye thought of this and turned to look at the thick stone door. He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over. As he flicked his sleeves, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang——"
Three huge wooden barrels landed in front of the stone door.
Yu Ye opened the lid of a wooden barrel, found a piece of clothing from the storage iron ring, tore it into strips of cloth, dipped it in the contents of the barrel, and then twisted it into a cloth rope or match rope.
"Yu Ye...?"
"What is this..."
"What is he going to do..."
When Mo Xiao and his disciples heard the noise, they couldn't help but get up and watch. Some people are well-informed, while others are surprised and puzzled——
"Saltpeter, sulfur..."
"What is the use of flammable things in the world..."
Yu Ye buried the cloth rope in the barrel, hit out a series of restraints, and said: "This thing is very powerful, it may be able to explode the stone door!"
Everyone was in disbelief.
The flying sword attacked for a long time, and even the golden elixir sword talisman was used, but it was difficult to destroy the formation at all. Although saltpeter and sulfur in the world are flammable, they are not powerful. How can they explode a hard stone door? And for a disciple of the Immortal Sect, where did he get these things? Three large barrels of saltpeter and sulfur may not weigh more than a thousand catties.
Yu Ye sealed the three large wooden barrels with heavy restrictions, then pulled out a two-foot-long match rope and signaled: "Everyone, step back——"
These three barrels of saltpeter and sulfur came from the sea, from pirates' ships, and were necessary for launching thunder crossbows. After killing the pirate, he pocketed it
, I didn’t expect it to come in handy today. As for the power of the thunder crossbow, he has seen it with his own eyes. As for whether to blow open the stone door, let's give it a try!
Mo Xiao waved his hand and stepped back with his disciples.
Although Prince Jin, his family, and guards didn't know what was going on, they seemed to see hope and a way out, and they all waited eagerly.
Yu Ye put down the match rope, offered a Lihuo Talisman, then turned around and ran away.
There was a flash of fire and the match burned.
In the blink of an eye, there was another burst of light. The huge Lanling Underground Palace was suddenly as bright as day. Then the world suddenly darkened, and then there was a loud noise.
"boom--"
At the moment of the roar, the ground shook and the mountains shook, roaring violently, and the backlash force swept across.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and they hurriedly activated their magical power to protect their bodies, but their footing was still unstable, and they all retreated in confusion.
But there was an endless "rumbling" sound, and more than a dozen sarcophagi cracked and collapsed. Young Master Jin's family and guards even rolled to the ground and screamed...
But everyone was staring ahead, staring at the closed stone door. Their expressions changed from shock and anticipation to depression and despair.
Suddenly I heard Young Master Jin shouting: "Oh, disturbing the souls of the dead, the ancestors are angry..."
Yu Ye hid in a corner more than ten feet away, looking at the intact stone door, he was also a little discouraged. Just when he was helpless, his eyes lit up again.
In the darkness, the nine-story jade pagoda several feet high was very eye-catching.
However, he saw that the nine-story jade pagoda, which was several feet high, was moving slowly, and the shimmering pearl light changed accordingly. It was really mysterious and strange. At first glance, it looked like a god was angry, but in fact it was a movement that triggered the formation mechanism.
Yu Ye jumped up and rushed over.
Mo Xiao and others also gathered.
"boom--"
There was a loud sound, and the moving jade tower slowly stopped. But there was a hole on the ground, and a wisp of breeze came out of it.
It is just a wisp of breeze, but it is full of vitality!
Prince Jin, his family, and guards forgot to be frightened and hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the cave. They were like fish seeing water, desperately opening their mouths to breathe. Someone was too eager and fell into the hole. In the chaos, another howl and cry for help sounded.
Before Yu Ye could rush forward, he was blocked by the crowd. He stopped, a smile appearing on his lips.
Although the saltpeter and sulfur did not explode the stone door, they accidentally triggered the formation mechanism. The nine-story jade tower in the underground palace is obviously the center of the formation. And since there is wind at the entrance of the cave, there must be a way out underground.
Well, what a surprise!
Young Master Jin's family is saved!
Mo Xiao and the disciples of the Immortal Sect gathered around, still in disbelief, but at the same time overjoyed.
"Cheju, Angelica dahurica——"
Mo Xiao ordered Che Ju and Bai Zhi to take care of the fainting young master and his wife. She herself walked to Yu Ye's side and said softly: "You have rescued me many times, and today you broke the formation again."
"It was just a fluke!"
"It is extremely rare to not take credit or be proud!"
Mo Xiao's tone seemed to be encouraging a junior disciple, but his words were reserved. She raised her hand and pointed, saying: "Under the entrance of the cave, there is another passage, which may be a way out. Let's go and check it out!"
Yu Ye nodded, jumped up, flipped in the air, and plunged into the hole.
The entrance to the cave is only three feet in diameter, but it is connected by a simple stone staircase. At the end of the stone staircase is a cave that is more than ten feet in size. A guard was sitting on the ground, still panicking. Suddenly he noticed someone falling next to him, and he jumped up in shock.
"No need to panic!"
Yu Yedao found out his identity and saw that the guard was fine, so he ordered him to wait on the spot, and then walked forward alone through the cave.
After more than ten feet, the cave began to sink. A few dozen feet further, the cave that was only for one person to walk through suddenly turned into a spacious cave, with several more openings leading to directions not yet reached.
Yu Ye searched for a while, then turned around and returned.
The guard was still waiting where he was, when he suddenly noticed that there was another person beside him, and he screamed in fright.
Yu Ye walked straight out of the cave along the stone stairs.
There was a circle of torches around the entrance of the cave, and faces full of expectation. The young master's wife and several female relatives have woken up and are leaning on each other. Farther away is a destroyed sarcophagus, with rubble and bones scattered on the ground.
Yu Ye and Mo Xiao cupped their hands and explained the situation underground.
Everyone was happy to learn that there was another place underground, so the disciples of the Immortal Sect explored the way. Young Master Jin, his family, and guards then rushed to the entrance of the cave.
After a while, there were only two people left in the Lanling Underground Palace. However, they did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they circled the Jade Pagoda to check.
"The formation of Lanling Underground Palace is extremely clever!"
"Well, who would have thought that this Wanshou Tower is where the formation eye is! Just as the truth is right in front of us, you and I often turn a blind eye!"
"What Master Uncle Mo said is absolutely true!"
"Yu Ye, you have also learned how to compliment and be worldly!"
"Don't dare!"
"I know you are resentful, but there are some things I can't tell you clearly. I think you are young, but you often do amazing things. Even if I am willing to believe you, it will be difficult to dispel the suspicion of your classmates!"
"Oh...Why did Uncle Mo allow the three senior brothers to kill Huang Mo?"
"Pu Tong is deeply trusted by Shen Qitang; Bian Ji is loyal to the Immortal Sect; Gu Muzi is the leader among the young disciples. But I didn't expect that the three of them are so presumptuous. They can't help but blame everyone, even as elders , what can I do!"
"Mingye, he..."
"I already know, it's never too late to leave this place!"
Mo Xiao made an excuse to check the formation, just to give Yu Ye a few words in secret, but he didn't dare to delay, and the two of them turned and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Before leaving, Yu Ye looked back.
In the darkness, the nine-story jade pagoda and the treasures placed there were intact; the longevity it symbolized was still sparkling, exquisite and eye-catching. Correspondingly, the gravel is messy, the bones are rotten, a mess, and the ground is lonely...
On the ninth day of February this year, the old leader of Qi State was buried in Cangshan Mountain.
It was late at night.
A sudden thunder came from Cangshan.
The dull thunder shocked the entire Lanling City.
Some people say that it is the movement of a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss; some say that the old king attains enlightenment and becomes an immortal, overcomes the tribulation and is reborn; still others say that when the new king ascends the throne, thundering the heaven and earth is an auspicious sign.
No matter what was said, people stayed up all night.
Because after dawn, the new king will take the throne...
