Long Shuang stared at the sand dune for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped into the air, gently waved his bare hand forward, and suddenly the wind roared and swept towards the sand dune.
Dust and sand block out the sun.
Wrapped in the howling wind, it was swept towards the northern jungle.
It didn't take long for the dozens of miles of sand dunes to completely disappear, leaving only a hole lying flat on the ground. It could be faintly seen that the hole was covered with a layer of gray barrier.
Everyone ran away in a flash and started discussing around the entrance of the cave.
Some people think that there will be great opportunities down here, while others are worried about whether there will be any danger down there.
Long Shuang's eyes flickered slightly and he looked at Xiao Ke: "Master Xiao, this barrier does not seem dangerous, but the situation below is not clear. Is there any way you can test it?"
Xiao Ke looked around: "There is a way, but what benefit can I get?"
No one spoke.
Long Shuang said: "Well, if Fellow Daoist Xiao is willing to explore the way for everyone, how about you choose one of the treasures inside, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"
After speaking, she looked at the crowd and said, "Do you have any opinions on this proposal?"
Everyone shook their heads and expressed no opinion.
Long Shuang looked at Xiao Ke again.
Xiao Ke thought for a while: "Okay, then I will reluctantly do it and be a pioneer for everyone, but the ugly words will come first. This is what you agreed to. If you regret it then, don't worry about Mr. Xiao's rebellion. "
"Headmaster Xiao is willing to take action, but if anyone wants to go back on his word, I will be the first to refuse." Nie Tang looked at Xiao Ke with a smile.
"Haha, I hope so."
Xiao Ke said lightly, and then released his black monkey. Seeing this thing, everyone who followed could not help but express surprise. They could see at a glance that this monkey was not simple.
Xiao Ke ignored everyone, communicated with the black monkey for a few words, and then let it fly into the cave.
After a while, Xiao Ke also walked towards the entrance of the cave. As he walked, he said: "Everyone, there is no danger inside. If you are not afraid of death, just follow me."
Everyone saw this and hurriedly followed behind.
It turned out that under the barrier of the cave entrance was a wide stone staircase. The stone steps slowly descended for more than a hundred steps, and then they came to the entrance of a wide avenue.
The stone walls on both sides of the broad road are carved with many mysterious patterns, including cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, dragons, phoenixes and unicorns.
Every once in a while, there is a lampstand on the stone wall. Inside the lampstand is placed a moonstone for lighting, but it is of no use at the moment and the light is very dim.
The black monkey walked at the front, looking left and right with his head and squeaking from time to time.
This passage seemed very long, and everyone walked for about a stick of incense without reaching the end. This made some people become annoyed and wished they could just dodge and fly over.
But at this time, the black monkey suddenly stopped, jumped back at the same time, landed on Xiao Ke's shoulder, pointed forward and shouted.
Long Shuang asked: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ke said: "There are hidden restrictions ahead."
Hearing this, everyone's originally bored expressions immediately turned into vigilance. Nie Tang asked: "What kind of restriction?"
Xiao Ke said: "It's impossible to tell."
"I'll try."
An elder from the Purple Light Sect came out after hearing this. He held out a round mirror and looked at it in front of him. Suddenly a pillar of fiery red light shot out from the mirror.
Bang! ! !
The next moment, the beam of light hit the void fifty feet in front, making a dull loud noise, and then a layer of blue barrier like water waves emerged.
"It's just an ordinary identification restriction."
Long Shuang said lightly when he saw this, and then flicked his finger, and a snow-white flying knife hit the barrier with a snap, and then the barrier trembled for a while and then exploded.
Identification bans are often used within sects, mainly to identify sect tokens. When people without tokens pass the ban, they will be excluded and are basically non-aggressive.
It can be seen from this that this place is most likely a sect ruins.
The barrier was broken, and everyone continued to move forward. The rest of the journey went very smoothly, and they never encountered any hidden restrictions.
But after walking for a while.
Suddenly one or two forked roads appeared in front of everyone, one going straight to the left and the other going straight to the right.
This left everyone undecided.
"Headmaster Xiao, which way are you going?" Long Shuang looked at Xiao Ke. It seemed that she didn't really want to go with Xiao Ke, and the others also had their own thoughts.
"Me? It doesn't matter, either way is fine."
Xiao Ke naturally understood what these people were thinking. He had not encountered any hidden restrictions after walking for so long, which made everyone think that it was safe here.
If they act together again, when they encounter treasures in the future, they have to let him pick one first, but if they act separately, whoever finds the treasures will belong to him.
Long Shuang thought for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly patted the leather bag on his waist, and a strange purple-green bird flew out from it, pointed to the right and said: "Lead the way!"
The wind is in the wild!
Seeing the strange bird, Lu Li couldn't help but secretly lamented for Feng Zaiye. This guy was so unlucky. He fell into Long Shuang's hands and received no respect at all. He was treated like a slave.
Feng Zaiye had already smoothed his horns at this time, and was no longer the unruly wind thunderbird he once was. He listened to the instructions and did not resist at all, so he waved his wings gently and flew towards the right branch.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the moment he set off, he turned back and glanced at Lu Li. It was this glance that made Lu Li feel the loneliness and unwillingness in the other person's eyes.
Lu Li gently clenched his fists, but still didn't say anything.
Long Shuang led Nie Tang and another old man to follow Feng Leiniao, and then two other powerful Golden Immortals from other sects followed after hesitating.
"Headmaster Xiao, we are leaving too."
When the elder of Ziguang Sect saw this, his expression moved slightly, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Ke, and then flew forward in a flash.
Seeing this, the other four latecomers also left and followed the elder of Ziguang Sect.
"snort!"
"A bunch of white-eyed wolves, they are quite good at choosing places. They don't go on side roads, and they shamelessly seize the main road!" The third elder of the Taiyin Sect was a little angry when he saw this.
Xiao Ke smiled: "It's okay, no one can say for sure about things like chance. Maybe it's not necessarily more dangerous on the main road?"
"Furthermore, since there is a fork in the road here, there is no guarantee that there won't be one elsewhere. So which one is the main road and which one is the fork in the road, no one can make a conclusion until the end."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao's words make sense." Tu Xiazi agreed.
"Oops! Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. Ignore the main road. If you leave too late, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pick up a hair!" Bald Wu touched his head and said impatiently.
Everyone:......
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Wu is not rude, let's go." Xiao Ke said with a smile, and then drove the black monkey into the fork on the left.
Lu Li and others slowly followed behind. This branch road was very long, and as expected, before going very far, another branch road appeared in front of it.
But this time, everyone did not separate again, but continued to hold together and walked straight forward.
In this way, two days passed quickly.
Lu Li and his party were completely numb. The road was extremely long, and there were countless forks in the middle, making the entire underground world look like a giant maze.
On this day, Lu Chengxian couldn't help but complain:
"What the hell is this place? I didn't see it by chance. It's full of side roads. I'm afraid I'll get lost if I continue walking!"
"This should be an abandoned underground sect. Maybe we are going in the wrong direction and have not found the true core of this sect. How about we take a different path?" Qin Feng suggested.
"Fellow Daoist Qin's words make sense..."
"Wait, look over there!"
At this moment, Granny Wang, who was walking on the far left, suddenly pointed to the left and said, "There seems to be a palace over there?"
palace!
When Lu Li heard this, he immediately became energetic and stopped to look to the left.
Sure enough, there seemed to be a square at the end of the passage. In the deepest part of the square, there were some palace eaves tiles, but it was difficult to see the whole picture, and I didn't know if it was what I was looking for.
