"This is the Jiuzi Corridor. Come with me, everyone!" A short-haired boy said and walked into the corridor first. He was light and stepped over several fixed stone bricks in the corridor like a dragonfly. As expected, he couldn't The formation was not activated, and Dugu, Xiao He and others followed him, stepping on the stone bricks he stepped on, and they were safe and sound.
After everyone passed through the corridor, Dugu Huncai introduced to Xiao He: "This young man is Lu Ze from the Divine Ax Cave. He is an expert in hidden weapons and Feng Shui!"
After Dugu Huntian's introduction, Lu Ze waved to Xiao He, and Xiao He nodded in return.
After passing the corridor, there is the real main hall, which is very spacious and bright. However, the main hall is empty at this time. Only one chair is left in the center. It looks like the throne of the sect leader back then, but now it is dilapidated and has long been gone. The former high and mighty.
After bypassing the sect leader's throne, you will see a tall stone door, leading directly to the back of the main hall.
After everyone passed the stone gate, there were six paths in front of them, leading to six different directions.
Dugu Huntian smiled and said: "It seems that we have to act separately. Now that we don't have a map in our hands, it is difficult to choose the focus of the search. Let's do this. We each form a team and choose a path. No matter what we get, it will all be counted. my own."
"Is it really that good?" Su Lanyue said still tremblingly.
Dugu Huntian nodded as an affirmative reply, then turned to Xiao He and said, "Brother Xiao He, you don't have any purpose, so why don't you just come with me?"
Of course, Xiao He had no reason to refuse and nodded dully.
Seeing this, Dugu Huntian walked forward along a road on the left front. Xiao He and Dugu Yixue followed closely behind him. There was a short distance between their shoulders.
The others did not receive Dugu Huntian's invitation, so naturally it was difficult for them to follow. They had to form groups in twos and threes and walk in their own directions along the path.
But in Xiao He's heart, he was also surprised that Dugu Huntian knew this place so well, so he really didn't have a map? Or do you really not understand where these paths go?
With this thought, Xiao He followed Dugu Huntian to the end of the path. There was a courtyard surrounded by low walls. Entering the courtyard, the ground was covered with grass and it was very desolate. Xiao He looked at the front of the courtyard, but his expression was... Shocked, in the middle of the courtyard was a huge stone formation. Each huge stone was tens of meters high. Its arrangement was exactly the same as the huge stone formation Xiao He had seen in Hanshan.
Just when Xiao He was about to ask a question, Dugu Huntian took the initiative and said: "This kind of Stonehenge is also an ancient custom of humans on the mainland. It is specially used for sacrifice. However, this method of sacrifice has long been lost."
"That's it!" Xiao He said as if he didn't understand.
Dugu Huntian didn't explain much, but he walked to the giant boulders. He was seen walking back and forth between the boulders, and his figure was getting faster and faster. Xiao He just saw him walking back and forth, and from time to time he was walking on a certain boulder. I stayed there for a while, completely irregular and had no idea what it was doing.
Just when Xiao He was confused, Dugu Huntian happened to stop at the center of the boulder and muttered something in a low voice, so that Xiao He could not hear a word clearly.
At some point, Dugu Huntian finally finished reading the last sentence, his eyes widened, and he said: "Open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the earth shook and split to both sides, and a long stone staircase leading underground immediately appeared.
Dugu Huntian smiled with satisfaction, greeted Dugu Yixue and Xiao He together, and walked underground along the stone stairs.
Walking all the way to the depths, he saw another underground corridor. The rock walls on both sides were made of bricks and stones of the same size. With a thought in his mind, Xiao He raised the torch and walked in front with Dugu Huntian, protecting Dugu Yixue. behind.
Along the way, although Dugu Yixue did not speak, her expression was occasionally moved and sometimes scared, because along the way, the corpses of immortal cultivators could be seen from time to time. Their death state seemed to have experienced painful struggles before death.
"It seems that these people died on the way to retreat when the sect fell. What are they protecting? Will they retreat to the sect master's tomb?" Xiao He said.
Dugu Huntian continued to walk forward, smiling but not answering.
As you go deeper, the road becomes wider and wider. As you go further, you will suddenly see a hall. In the center of the hall, there is a sarcophagus.
Walking to a position ten meters away from the sarcophagus, Xiao He felt like he was facing a strong wind. He calmed down but was at peace. Xiao He, who was familiar with the magic circle books, knew in his heart that there must be a powerful force laid down inside the sarcophagus. Ban! For some reason, this restriction felt very familiar to Xiao He, but it was indescribable.
Dugu Huntian seemed not to be affected by this restriction. He walked forward and walked to a position three meters away from the sarcophagus. He bowed respectfully to the sarcophagus three times, and Dugu Yixue did the same.
When Xiao He saw this, he also imitated the Dugu brothers and sisters and bowed respectfully to the sarcophagus.
After three bows, Xiao He stood up straight. Dugu Huntian looked back at Xiao He and said, "Brother, come closer."
Xiao He didn't know why and walked forward to Dugu Huntian.
Dugu Huntian turned over his hand and held out a dagger. In a flash of cold light, he actually made a small cut on his index finger and dropped a drop of blood on the lines of the coffin lid. After that, Dugu Huntian handed the dagger to Xiao He again, indicating with his eyes that he should do it.
Xiao He was confused, but he had no doubts. He took the dagger, followed Dugu Huntian's example, and dropped a drop of his own blood on the coffin lid. In an instant, the two drops of blood from the two of them turned out to be Walking along the lines on the coffin lid, within a few breaths, the lines on the coffin lid had completely turned into blood red.
"Back off!" Dugu Huntian said. Upon hearing this, Xiao He took a few steps back and stood at the same level as Dugu Yixue.
Dugu Huntian climbed up the stone steps and stretched out his palm to cover the complex lines of the sarcophagus. The moment his palm touched the coffin lid, a burst of white light came over, forcing Xiao He and Dugu Yixue to take a few steps back and raise their hands. Hands blocked the dazzling light.
The light gradually dimmed, and Xiao He was surprised to find that the coffin lid rose into the air and was neatly divided into several small pieces. Looking at the sarcophagus, there were no rotting bones as expected, but as empty as a field. When Xiao He was wondering, a broken page floated up. Before Xiao He could see clearly, the broken page had been pocketed by Dugu Huntian.
Only at this moment did Xiao He understand that this was the real purpose of Dugu Huntian's trip.
"It's getting late, let's go back!" Dugu Huntian turned around and said.
When he turned around, he happened to meet Xiao He's eyes. At this moment, the two men seemed to exchange a lot of very complicated emotions. Dugu Huntian walked to Xiao He and said, "I know you are very strange. One day , I will answer it for you."
Xiao He nodded. For some reason, he was willing to believe Dugu Huntian, because when they first met, Dugu Huntian gave him a completely different feeling from others, making him feel that they were the same kind of people.
When walking back, their pace was faster than when they came. They didn't know how others were progressing, but they must not let others discover this place. On the way back, Dugu Huntian also explained to Xiao He that although there was no other harvest from the ruins here, it could be regarded as a record of Xiao He's kindness, and there would be gifts in the future.
Xiao He smiled and neither agreed nor refused.
The three of them returned along the road and exited the Stonehenge. Dugu Huntian did not forget to wander among the giant stones again. The earth closed in response and the stone stairs disappeared. After doing this, the three of them walked out of the other courtyard and returned along the path. , walking halfway, several people came towards them. They had just finished their search, and Dugu Huntian and the other two people couldn't wait for them. They were worried, so they came up to look for them.
Seeing that the three of them were safe and sound, Li Sikong felt relieved.
Xiao He smiled and asked proactively: "Brother Sikong, have you gained anything?"
Li Sikong had a bitter look on his face, shook his head and said, "It's really pitiful. Maybe someone has searched here before. We only found some rare fairy grass and some Kuiyou coins."
For Thirty-Six Cave Heavens, I believe that every sect will not pay too much attention to these immortal grasses and coins. What really excites them is probably the peerless secret books and the best magic weapons. However, they found nothing here.
"Actually, this is normal. There are traces of battles everywhere here. Even if there are any good things, they were looted by the victor in that battle!" Lu Ze said.
"Yes, yes!" echoed the people around.
"Leng Xing hasn't returned from the search yet?" Xiao He asked with a smile.
Li Sikong replied: "He led the two of them and chose the first path. There is no news yet."
"We'd better go up and have a look, don't let anything happen!" Xiao He said.
Everyone admired Xiao He's character. Leng Xing was arrogant and domineering, and wanted to embarrass him at every turn. However, Xiao He was repaying evil with kindness and worried about his safety. From Dugu Huntian's point of view, Xiao He's move was more like helping him. This trip was initiated by himself. If any of the elders or young masters of Dongtian were killed or injured, he would be in an embarrassing situation.
After Xiao He finished speaking, he ran all the way to Leng Xing's road.
However, just when everyone ran to the back door of the main hall, a shrill shout came from the sound. From the sound, you knew it was Su Lanyue's voice.
"Where is he?" Xiao He asked.
Li Sikong had already shot out and said: "The second path!"
Seeing this, everyone rushed away in Li Sikong's direction.
At the end of this path, there is also a courtyard. There is a two-story pavilion in the front, and there are wing rooms on the east and west sides. There are three people lying on the grass in front of the pavilion. It was Su Lanyue who chose the second path. Three people.
Everyone immediately stepped forward to check the injuries of the three people. Two of the men had no signs of life, and only Su Lanyue was left. When Xiao He ran to her side, she was already furious. She wanted to speak but couldn't. She just raised her head. He pointed his hand slightly toward the roof of the west wing.
And the next second, she fainted.
Dugu Huntian left two people to take care of Su Lanyue, and also asked his sister to wait here, and then followed Xiao He and flew towards the roof of the west wing.
Dugu Huntian deliberately left behind two outstanding disciples from Jian'an Dongtian who were less capable in combat but were very good at medical treatment. They were responsible for treating Su Lanyue's injuries.
