A huge fault appeared at the cutoff point of the Changling River.
The surging river water rushed down along the fault. The narrow and deep fault seemed to be a bottomless pit, constantly swallowing the surging river water.
"The water storage capacity of faults is very limited, especially faults where rivers emerge. Not only will they not swallow water, they may develop into fountains and spit water into the Changling River."
"Since this fault can continuously swallow river water, it proves that the river water entering it has entered other places!"
"There is an underground river developing at the bottom of the river, starting from here and going to the next fault."
"I guess the Changling River cut off because two faults cut an underground river."
"The river water from the upper reaches flows into the underground river along the fault. After passing through a section of the underground river, it flows directly downstream before it re-emerges and appears in the Changling River."
"That's why the Changling River, which flows through Jiangcheng, Huacheng and Shancheng, has stopped flowing."
Jiang Chen used the skill of seeing through walls, looked at the fault, and combined what he saw to confirm his conjecture.
"It's not just an underground river, it might be an underground kingdom!"
"Fellow Taoist Chunyang, do you still remember the floating corpses in the Changling River a few days ago?"
"I estimate that those floating corpses came up from the underground faults, and there is an ancient country underground in Jiangcheng, Mountain City, and Huacheng, the Ancient Kingdom of Emperor Demon!"
"No wonder there are always records about the Ancient Demon Kingdom in unofficial biographies, but no one has ever seen the Ancient Demon Kingdom. It turns out they built the kingdom underground!"
"So even if someone does pass by, it is impossible to see traces of the Ancient Demon Kingdom!"
"We need to go deep underground to see if Fellow Taoist Chunyang knows the art of Earth Escape?!"
Xuan Xin asked.
"don't know."
Jiang Chen shook his head when he heard this.
"What about the water escape technique?"
Xuan Xin asked again.
"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."
"I don't understand either!"
This is really a very embarrassing thing.
"Actually, the young monk doesn't understand either!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's embarrassed expression, Xuan Xin smiled slightly and said.
"If you don't understand, just ask!"
Jiang Chen complained in his heart.
"Since we don't understand, we have no choice but to go down the Changling River. We just need to be extremely careful!"
Xuan Xin spoke up.
As he said that, facing the turbulent waves rushing into the faulty Changling River, he jumped down.
His whole body exuded pure Buddha light, and his whole body was like a Buddha, and his body became as powerful as gold and stone.
Mountain rocks hit him in the rapids and turned into powder instantly.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen also jumped down. He mobilized the martial arts energy in his body, and the overbearing black energy enveloped his whole body. The turbulent water rushed into his body, and was all shaken away by the energy.
He and Xuan Xin tried their best to break away from the constraints of the current, and followed the direction of the current, rushing deep into the fault.
The two people, one black and one white, flowed in the water like a rotating Tai Chi diagram. They didn't know how long they floated, and they didn't know how many gravels, fish and shrimps hit them. Finally, they felt that the water flow became gentle. .
Wow!
The two broke out of the water and saw a vast underground world.
The underground river flows through the entire underground world, connecting all the locations. The entire underground world is pitch black and deathly silent.
From a distance, you can see strange palaces rising from the ground. After the vicissitudes of time, they are now in a state of decay.
This is the ruins of the Ancient Demon Kingdom!
"The old site of the Imperial Demon Kingdom, this is where the demon girls lived. It was dark all day long. I really don't know how they survived."
Xuan Xin looked around, shook his head and said.
"Let's go, let's explore this ancient kingdom of Emperor Demon together, and find out if there is any way to bring the Changling River back to the ground!"
Jiang Chen spoke up.
As he spoke, with a thought, a string of small fireballs appeared above the two of them, lighting up their way forward.
"The demonic energy here is deep, and the demonic energy is repelling the vitality of heaven and earth. Therefore, the vitality of heaven and earth here is pitifully small. Brother Chunyang Taoist should stop using his spells!"
"I have two luminous pearls here, which can serve as light sources to illuminate the way forward!"
Xuanxin took out two egg-sized luminous pearls from his sleeves and injected a little spiritual power into them. The luminous pearls were as bright as incandescent lamps.
"fair enough."
Jiang Chen took a luminous pearl from Xuan Xin's hand and illuminated the way forward.
In fact, it is not difficult to see at night with their cultivation level, but it requires mana.
This was enough to do on weekdays, but now that they had come to an unfamiliar environment, and the vitality of heaven and earth here was still very little, they needed to save their mana for emergencies.
In fact, Jiang Chen didn't care too much. After all, he had three fairy treasures on his body that could emit pure heaven and earth energy, which was enough to make up for the loss of his mana.
But Xuanxin gave him a priceless luminous pearl, so don’t give it up for free!
The two of them walked forward holding a luminous night bead each.
Even if they don't use their magic power, they can still walk as fast as they can with their feet.
The Imperial Demon Ancient Kingdom does not occupy a large area. Rather than calling it an ancient country, it is more similar to a large underground tribe. The center of the tribe is a concentrated and compact black palace, with other buildings scattered here and there. Built around the Black Palace.
Just like the stars over the moon!
Due to the large influx of water from the Changling River, the entire Ancient Demon Kingdom has been completely soaked by the flood, and many villages have traces of being eroded by the flood.
This can also explain why there are so many corpses of people from the Ancient Demon Kingdom in the Jialing River above.
But why did the Ancient Demon Kingdom collapse?
Is it really true that the real dragon came to destroy it under the order of the human king?
At least Jiang Chen and Xuan Xin didn't see any signs of fighting so far.
As the two continued to move forward, the river below their feet became more and more deep, and they saw bodies floating in the water.
They are all arranged in strange shapes, with their faces facing upwards, surrounding each other.
And among them, there was a figure sitting in the middle of the floating corpses, with his back to Jiang Chen and the two of them, floating on the water!
"Friends, you seem to be blocking our way!"
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but joked.
"No."
"I'm just here waiting for you!"
The floating corpse sitting cross-legged on the water with its back to Jiang Chen suddenly turned around and said with a strange smile on his face.
Jiang Chen raised the luminous pearl in his hand high and looked at the floating corpse carefully!
He was wearing a yellow monk's robe and had twelve ring scars on his head. He didn't look very much like the people of the Ancient Demon Kingdom!
"Master Huineng from Baoxiang Temple?"
Xuan Xin frowned and said.
"Amitabha Demon!"
"Huineng is dead, I am the Demon Tathagata!"
Hui Neng clasped his hands together and looked solemn, but his body exuded a terrifying and evil aura.
He was like a demon Buddha, guarded by a group of strange floating corpses, making him look even more gloomy.
"Fire Dragon Talisman!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen directly sacrificed a complete fire dragon talisman and went straight to Huineng.
"I, the devil, have mercy. I put down my butcher knife and became a devil immediately. How good is it!"
"Om, ban, zha, er, sa, 埵, hum!"
Huineng silently recited the incantation, and his whole body exuded a luster of black and gold. His whole body was instantly surrounded by the breath of dragon flames, but he sat cross-legged in the blazing flames, contentedly, with that weird smile always on his lips!
"This is the Vajrasattva mantra, let me break it!"
"I, ma, ni, ba, mi, hum!"
"Six-character mantra, suppress it!"
Xuan Xin used his hand seal technique, and the white Buddha light on his body seemed to be materialized. Silver runes appeared one after another around him, turning into a huge silver palm, and slapped Huineng fiercely!
