Feeling a little exhausted, she simply took Qi Tiezui's arm, hung it halfway on him, and let him drag him away.
Except for his slight stiffness, Master Ba didn't have any big reaction.
Jiang He walked in the front. The water in the corridor was not deep, only up to his knees. The water was very turbid and he couldn't see what was inside.
The eighth master was thoughtful, and his voice was gentle and steady in the empty corridor, "The Jiang family's career is on the rise. It would be better to avoid such back-and-forth things in the future. When we first met, I gave you a prank." Gua, after the business transfer, the Jiang family will have smooth sailing."
Jiang He was very surprised. He also listened to Qi Tiezui's reminder in his heart, and his tone became more respectful, "Eighth Master, thank you for reminding me."
Qi Tiezui nodded slightly.
It's impolite to make predictions when you first meet, but Master Ba is used to it, so that he can know whether the other party has the ability to cooperate with him.
It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
As everyone knows, after Jiang He left, he joined a wealthy family and quickly occupied a place. The career of the Jiang family was dominated by both black and white. The next three generations of the Jiang family still cooperated closely with Jiumen.
Of course, this is something.
The further you go, the shallower the water in the corridor becomes, and the surrounding drainage channels rush the water into the darkness.
About ten minutes later, the corridor had reached the end. At the end was a cliff with a connection in the center, and a huge tree growing at the connection.
The light of the flashlight shines on it, and the trees grow lush and green. Under the connecting rocks are the huge roots of the trees, and the intertwined roots stretch down the cliff.
"Trees can grow so big in this kind of environment. Where do they get nutrients from?" Xue Hou said in surprise.
There is no bottom at the bottom of the cliff, it is simply a wonder.
Ji Lanqian's body suddenly trembled, and she stared at this giant tree. It was so big, bigger than anything she had ever seen. It would have to grow for at least hundreds of thousands of years. The roots of the tree were densely extending down the cliff, as if they were alive. .
"When it rains outside, there should be drainage channels to supply it with water." Qi Tiezui analyzed.
Jiang He rummaged through his backpack and threw a flare downwards. Only then did everyone see clearly that the bottom of the cliff was not too high, perhaps a hundred meters, and the huge tree roots spread all the way to the bottom.
"Can you live with water?" Ji Lanqian asked.
Because her yin-inducing physique told her that it was not that simple.
"Not sure, maybe it has taken root in the land under the cliff and absorbed nutrients." Mr. Ba.
This is considered reasonable for the time being.
at this time.
Below the cliff.
Suddenly the light was as bright as daylight, causing those who had just stepped out of the corridor to raise their hands to cover their eyes.
"What's the situation? There are people on the cliff exploring the road. Where are they? They even have military flares like this. It's really a trench." The black blind man said and kicked Xu Weng who was walking in front.
Xu Weng's arm was connected and the rope was no longer tied. He no longer dared to be a monster anymore, "Master Hei, if you kick me again, I will die."
"If you die, you will die. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and you are not the only one left."
What a cold person says.
When the light from the flares weakened, they could barely open their eyes. In front of them was something like tree roots, tangled and deep into a large pit.
The black blind man raised his feet to check. The big pit was full of piles of white bones. The roots of the trees were inserted into the skulls to absorb nutrients. He looked up along the roots. What kind of giant tree was it?
I dare not think about it at all.
Zhang Qiling pulled out the Tang Dao and looked at the scene ahead warily.
It's a death pit.
The flare went out completely.
Xu Weng spoke tremblingly, "I have told you before that we are going the wrong way."
After Xu Weng entered the main tomb of the Imperial Master's Tomb to pay homage, he would return the same way.
This was the first time he had seen the road he took today, and it was actually possible to go deep into the tomb.
"What kind of tree is this that can grow so crazily?" The blind man squatted beside the pit and looked with a flashlight.
"The Netherworld Ghost Tree is a giant tree that grows in hell in legend. The souls of those who died doing evil will be fed to it as nutrients. The trees here should be reproduced by future generations." Xu Weng pushed up his glasses and unconsciously I want to retreat, the yin energy here is too strong.
Perhaps it was because of the massacre that took place in Ye that year that so many corpses were piled in the pit.
The black blind man stood up and covered his mouth with his hands, shouting loudly, "Hey, are you going to take the lama away?"
Echoes echoed between the cliffs.
The team above had reached the bottom of the tree and stopped.
Ji Lanqian received the signal accurately, "It's Mr. Hei."
"Let's talk after we walk under the tree." Qi Tiezui said, asking them to walk over quickly. After all, he already felt something was wrong.
Ji Lanqian nodded and flicked the flashlight downward twice, which was a signal to the black blind man. As soon as he turned around, he came face to face with a ghostly face hanging upside down.
The grimace was twisted and evil, with the corners of his mouth grinning to the base of his ears, revealing a set of sharp teeth.
It's over, the evil spirit has been awakened.
Qi Tiezui threw the talisman over, pulled Ji Lanqian and ran away.
He was still shouting, "Ghost trees raise evil spirits, oh my gosh, the legends are all true!"
Ji Lanqian was grabbed by an evil ghost's arm, and her whole body was instantly pulled upward by three evil ghosts.
Qi Tiezui held her hand tightly and said in a panic, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I've got you."
They had just experienced a fierce battle and encountered evil spirits again, and they were somewhat powerless.
She kicked the things behind her hard, and those evil spirits were like a pile of mud, unable to be shaken at all.
She frowned and cursed, "What a disgusting thing is this."
Jiang He held a Nepali saber in his hand, and he went up to chop it, but the blade had no effect on the evil ghost.
Qi Tiezui said to him, "Hold Ji Lanqian and let me come."
"OK."
Jiang He and Xue Hou held Ji Lanqian's wrist.
Qi Tiezui put his index and middle fingers together between his eyebrows, chanting a complex incantation in his mouth, and then waved a handful of cinnabar, and the evil spirits let go of Ji Lanqian as if they had been burned.
Then, Master Ba threw a small peach wood sword he was carrying to Daqing aside, "Use this to open a path and go under the tree first."
"good."
Daqing was tall and the most skilled among them. The small peach wood sword he caught looked like a child's toy, but fortunately it was illuminated, so it was just right for killing ghosts.
bottom.
The black blind man clearly saw the signal to respond, but there seemed to be a sudden excitement above, and he didn't have time to think.
Xu Weng pointed at the bones in the pit in horror, "They are moving, they are moving!"
The black blind man lowered his eyes and looked down, kicked down the bones that had climbed up, and said in a calm tone, "There is no road here. Climb up along these tree roots."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Qiling's figure leaping to grab the root of the tree and swinging up, climbing very fast.
Master Hei was amazed. How amazing is this mute Zhang?
