Generally, the spiritual pets raised by female cultivators are beautiful phoenixes or cute rabbits. Nowadays, they are spiritual beasts with actual combat or functionality. It is really rare for female cultivators to use geckos as spiritual animals.
Xi Yue seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yan Wugui's behavior. After a long time, she replied angrily: "It was the 'eye' I released. I am trapped in a place now and can't get out for the time being."
Yan Wugui was very anxious when he heard this, but he couldn't help him at that moment, so he had to ask: "Yue'er, don't worry, where is it? How did you get trapped?"
Yan Wugui was extremely funny at this time. He kept talking to a gecko. If he was seen by others, he would be regarded as a weirdo. But he couldn't care less now, tapping his feet, stretching his neck and pulling his ears, waiting for Xi Yue's reply.
I saw the gecko's belly bulging, and Xi Yue's voice came from its belly: "It's a long story. I made marks on the stone wall with a green dagger. Those marks are not easily visible. If you notice, you can find me if you follow Yinyin."
Yan Wugui looked carefully. It seemed that Xi Yue relied on his spiritual sense to transmit sound to this little thing. He didn't know if he could sense other things.
"Its name is Yin Yin?" Yan Wugui stared at the white gecko in confusion, then grinned. He looked around and saw that there was nothing else nearby. He thought it was the one Xi Yue was talking about.
The white gecko ignored Yan Wugui's words, its little eyes widened, and its expression was somewhat similar to Xi Yue's. Yan Wugui was startled by his own thoughts. He was so worried about Xi Yue that he would think that a gecko was her...
Yan Wugui shook his head vigorously. The Qingmang Dagger was an immortal weapon of the Ghost King Sect. The evil aura was different from ordinary demonic aura. He could tell it with his spiritual sense. Rather than letting a gecko lead the way, it would be faster to rely on his two legs. However, since this gecko is Xi Yue's spiritual beast, he naturally cannot leave it behind and can only carry it with him.
Thinking like this, Yan Wugui roughly grabbed the gecko in his hand and was about to open his mind to explore. The gecko in his hand kept struggling and bit him hard. What followed was Xi Yue's anger. His words: "Yan Wugui! Let it go!"
"Ouch!" Yan Wugui was so painful that he almost threw the gecko to the ground. He opened his palms and looked at the angry gecko, really dumbfounded.
"Don't worry Yue'er, I can find you and won't need it." Yan Wugui raised his eyebrows and glanced at the gecko's short limbs. Although his eyes were full of disgust, he still stretched out his big hand to comfort the gecko.
Yan Wugui thought for a moment and carefully placed the gecko on his shoulder. The gecko rarely cooperated obediently, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the smooth back again and again. Not to mention, it felt really good. .
"Yan Wugui, have you had enough?" Xi Yue's angry voice sounded again. Compared to the previous tone, this time it sounded a bit more coquettish.
"Okay, okay, I'll take it to find you right now." Yan Wugui apologized quickly and took away his hand. It sounded like Xi Yue was enjoying herself. He thought to himself: Yue'er is really stingy, isn't it just a caress? Is her spirit beast so angry?
As Yan Wugui's consciousness widened, he successfully found the location of the first sinister spiritual energy. He immediately leaned over to check the stone wall, and sure enough, there was a small crescent-shaped notch.
"Yinyin, look, I found it." Yan Wugui excitedly called to the gecko Yinyin, and the next moment, he seemed to have become accustomed to its company.
But Yan Wugui did not wait for Gecko Yinyin's answer as he wished. The little thing seemed to know that he had completed his mission and lay on his shoulder very tiredly.
It was rare to see it be so well-behaved, so Yan Wugui couldn't help but touch it twice. He originally thought that it would explode again, but he saw it yawned comfortably, closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Yan Wugui saw that the little one was exhausted, so he put it on his chest, exposed a little head thoughtfully, patted her gently and comforted her: "Good boy, I will take you to find her right now."
Yan Wugui let out a long sigh. The more he looked at this little guy, the more he liked it. He was no longer the one who said it was an "ugly gecko". He didn't know why he felt a strong affinity for it and always wanted to touch it. Touch and caress it.
Yan Wugui followed the evil spirit that came along the way, through the twists and turns of the corridor, and soon found the place Xi Yue last marked.
There is a stone chamber that is larger than the stone hall. Compared with the previous tunnel, the workmanship here is exquisite. There are actually unknown lines carved on the stone wall. Judging from the carving technique, it should not be made by one person.
Yan Wugui immediately became alert. The stone room didn't look big, but it became more and more empty as he walked in. He couldn't finish checking it for a while. This made him very anxious, so he opened his consciousness to search for Xi Yue, but he felt a tightness in his chest and had to withdraw his consciousness.
"What's going on? It's impossible and not bad at the same time!" Yan Wugui became more and more anxious, muttering in his heart.
He went over all the marks just now, roughly clarified the layout of the cave, and finally understood the secret of this tunnel.
He walked to the door of the stone chamber and threw an elixir on the ground. The elixir rolled all the way down the deep corridor and stopped only after making a sound of hitting the stone wall.
"I see." Yan Wugui found that there was something wrong with these corridors when he came back, but he couldn't figure out the reason. At this moment, he almost walked through all the corridors, and then he knew the secret of the "mechanism" inside.
This underground cave looks like a maze, but it actually has "mechanisms", but these "mechanisms" are different from ordinary mechanisms.
Generally, a mechanism will have a certain place to activate a specific device. If those places cannot be reached, the mechanism will not open.
The so-called "mechanism" in this cave cannot be said to be a mechanism at all, because it does not require any contact. As long as everyone enters, everyone will be tricked without knowing it.
In fact, it is not that complicated. The problem lies in the walking corridor.
According to Yan Wugui's observation, the materials used for these corridors are the same as the stones at the bottom of the pond. This shows that local materials were used when building this dry cave.
Yan Wugui inspected the stones carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with ordinary river stones, but the problem lay in the construction of the dry cave.
From the huge cave hall at the entrance of the dry cave to the towering tall stone pillars, it can be seen that the man who created it wanted to build it into a magnificent palace, but in fact these were all illusions he made to deceive others. The intricate corridors that followed were actually his creations. The real purpose of construction.
There are many forks in the tunnel in the cave, but they all lead to the same place, which is the stone chamber where they are. The reason why the tunnel is so complicated is to hide the secret that the tunnel gradually slopes and rises.
Since the corridor was arranged like this, there must be a reason. Yan Wugui walked back to the stone room and prepared to find some clues as soon as possible. Xi Yue could not be trapped in the dark place for too long.
"Ha... what are you doing?" The gecko Yinyin in Yan Wugui's arms yawned. It seemed that he had not rested enough, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly became energetic.
Yan Wugui was slightly startled. He discovered that not only did the geckos Yin Yin and Xi Yue speak in sync, they even "yawned" at the same time.
This inevitably made Yan Wugui doubt that the gecko Yinyin was not just a simple voice transmitter. Could it be that Xi Yue's spiritual consciousness could not only perceive the sound, but also the gecko's entire body? Wouldn't that be...
"This is it, brother Yan is great." Xi Yue's cheerful words interrupted Yan Wugui's thoughts, and she began to get excited because she recognized the place in front of her. She was trapped in this stone room.
At that time, Xi Yue ran in after the demon, and she didn't know what kind of move she was hit by. When she woke up, she was trapped in a dark stone room that could only accommodate one person.
It seemed that some kind of secret technique was used there. It was impossible to use the true energy at all. Once used, it would cause backlash. Fortunately, she used the green light dagger to make a small hole, which allowed the gecko to escape and find a hole for her. People ask for help.
"Yinyin, don't worry, I'll rescue you right now." Yan Wugui said comforting words while continuing to explore every corner of the stone room.
"I am Yue'er, not just Yin Yin." Xi Yue's tone was very dissatisfied. Gecko Yin Yin's cheeks immediately bulged up, completely losing the joy she had just now.
Yan Wugui just smiled and didn't care. Yinyin was Yue'er, and she had hidden it from him for so long. No wonder Xi Yue was so angry when he behaved rudely to the gecko Yinyin before.
"Dong dong!" His slender fingers tapped on the stone wall. Yan Wugui found that there was an empty place under the stone slab on the ground. There was most likely a gap.
"Yue'er, can you hear anything?" Yan Wugui knocked on the stone slab again, this time with more force.
"No." Xi Yue's answer was negative. She didn't hear any sound, but since the gecko could crawl out, it must be connected to the outside.
This suddenly made her think of something. She had been controlling Yin Yin's perception all along, but it was Yin Yin who found Yan Wugui all the way, not her, so Yin Yin knew this part of the road very well.
Xi Yue's answer made Yan Wugui a little frustrated, and he suddenly thought of Wei Yousi: If Brother Wei was here, he would definitely be able to think of a way...
"Bah!" The gecko Yinyin climbed out of Yan Wugui's clothes at some unknown moment, jumped to the ground, and crawled towards the deepest part of the stone room.
"Yue'er? Yinyin?" Yan Wugui didn't know who the gecko was at this time, but he still followed closely without hesitation.
The space in the stone chamber is very large. Although the gecko crawled at a slow speed, it paused several times to determine its position. It took nearly half a stick of incense to crawl and reached the deepest part of the stone chamber.
There were many sarcophagi of different sizes placed there, which was very scary. Yan Wugui waved his hand to light the candle on the stone wall, but he never thought that the spell had no effect at all. Instead, he felt that the energy in his body had stagnated.
This was obviously a backlash from magic. Yan Wugui was busy concentrating his energy and no longer used magic. As Xi Yue said, this stone chamber is indeed weird!
