After the drop reached at least a hundred feet, the two of them saw the bottom. They both landed on a pool, standing on the water, drifting with the current, with the sound of running water behind them.
The two of them used glowstones in their hands to illuminate the water beneath their feet. The bottom seemed bottomless, and there seemed to be a demon hiding at any time, ready to open its huge mouth to devour them.
What caught their attention even more was the narrow and steep underground space, which made it difficult to see the outline. The mountain walls that could be seen were steep and rugged, and there were no walkable roads around. The water flow was unknown under the Gobi. Where.
After they were a little far away from the water pool, Yu Qing returned his sword to its sheath, took out another stick of incense and lit it. Watching the movement of the smoke, the two of them continued to move forward along the current.
The water flow begins to twist deep underground.
After traveling a long way, the two of them, who had not found anything after an unknown amount of time, saw another hole with a high drop where water poured out.
The two brothers looked at each other and jumped down again. This time it was as if they were descending between two walls, a water wall and a stone wall. They were still connected in some places and had not been completely cut by the flowing water. It took a while before the stone wall disappeared, and they continued to descend for a while, before the two of them landed on a pool of water.
This time, the height of the drop is probably more than two hundred feet deep, and it is also much more open. With the light of the fluorite in my hand, I can't see the edge at all, and the waves swaying and refracted on the water surface are like ghosts.
The two continued to walk on the waves. After getting away from the noise of the water behind them, the water surface in front gradually became gentle and calm. The sound of tinkling water droplets occasionally sounded in the empty silence, which was clear and sweet.
The underground lake is very spacious, and thick stone pillars can be seen connecting the upper and lower parts from time to time.
The two continued to search this space for a long time, but could not get out. The lake was too calm, and there was no exit.
"The water outside has been pouring in. There is no way this lake has no outlet. It should be underwater. I'll go down and have a look."
Mu Aotie said softly beside Yu Qing.
Yu Qing nodded silently, keeping the glowstone in his hand shining on the green smoke rising from the incense, and keeping his eyes fixed on the changes in the green smoke.
When Mu Aotie dwarfed the water and suddenly plunged into the lake and sank, Yu Qing slowly turned his head and stared in another direction. It was dark over there and he couldn't see anything. He suddenly stood up and flew up, landing on a nearby stone pillar. He stood on the protruding part, threw away the lit incense in his hand, covered up the light of the fluorescent stone, and placed himself in darkness. Keep an eye on the light in the water.
That light was the fluorite in Mu Aotie's hand. The light gradually became very weak in the water, but it was still conspicuous in the absolutely dark environment.
Yu Qing could tell that Mu Aotie had dived deeper into the water, and the light spots were swimming quickly everywhere in the water, like a swimming fish.
When the bright light in the water goes somewhere else, Yu Qing will fly up and chase after it.
This lasted for a while, and the light in the water became more and more conspicuous. Finally, Mu Aotie broke out of the water and stood on the water again. His movement shook the moisture out of his clothes. He said to Yu Qing who was waiting in front of him: "It's down here. There is also an underwater secret passage, I don’t know where it leads to, do you want to follow it to find it?”
Yu Qing didn't say whether he wanted it or not. After thinking silently for a while, he took out the glowstone again, took out an incense stick from his sleeve, lit it again, stared at the smoke for a while, and then suddenly flew up. The water surface rose and fell, and he flew to cling to a cliff.
There were no other wrinkles on the rugged and slippery natural stone wall, but he tried to stick the incense stick in his hand to the stone wall. He saw that the smoke no longer completely rose straight up, but part of it drifted slightly sideways, slowly. Drilled into the cracks in the stone wall.
After finding the correct position, Yu Qing bit the incense butt in his mouth, drew his sword, and whoosh, another sword pierced the stone wall.
Mu Aotie also flew down and climbed on the stone wall to watch, wondering what he was doing.
Yu Qing tried the feel of the sword and could tell the thickness of the stone wall. Then he used his power to cut and cut, and soon dug a circle on the stone wall. He unsheathed his sword and pressed it with his palm. The cut circle was slowly pushed inwards.
After about an arm's length, the sound of a stone falling to the ground came from inside. It was not loud, and it was controlled to land quietly.
Yu Qing stopped, took the fluorescent stone and looked inside, then got in through the hole.
Mu Aotie, who followed later, found that he was in a tunnel. It was obvious that there were traces of human excavation on the walls of the tunnel. Although I had seen Yu Qing's similar abilities in the Jian Yuan Mountain Tomb, I was still a little moved at this time, and I still couldn't figure out how Yu Qing found this tunnel in the huge underground space.
Yu Qing observed the tunnel, took off the burning incense from his mouth, stared at the curling green smoke for a while, then turned back to Mu Aotie and tilted his head to indicate the stones dug out of the ground.
Mu Aotie immediately picked up the stone on the ground and pushed it back in the opposite direction. Although it couldn't be exactly the same as before, at least it couldn't be easily discovered without paying attention when passing by.
The two then walked forward in the tunnel. When they encountered a fork in the road, Yu Qing made the choice without hesitation. He didn't seem to worry about anyone in front of him and just moved forward quickly, with the route trending upward.
When the two arrived at the tunnel exit, they heard the whistling wind and saw a large stone at the exit, which was pushed halfway open.
The two of them snuffed out the incense and put away the glowing fluorite. Yu Qing got out of the gap in the stone first and found that there was a cliff outside. The moon was bright in the night sky and the wind whistled through the valley. .
Unconsciously, after having been underground for so long, it was already night.
Using the moonlight, Yu Qing briefly observed the details of the cave entrance, looked up, and quietly climbed up the cliff...
The terrain on the cliff has high and low levels. On the lower mountain, a nearly naked little boy with long hair shawl is sitting on the ground playing with stones, arranging a pile of stones to look like a character's head.
On the top of the highest mountain nearby, a man in black with long hair shawl was lying on the ground, his arms behind his head, staring at the moon in the sky in a daze.
Suddenly, the man in black's eyes moved, and he stood up abruptly. He stared coldly at the place where the boy was playing, and saw a figure flash past. He was furious and jumped down. .
However, he was still one step late.
The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Yu Qing. He flashed past and grabbed the little boy playing on the ground. The sword was already unsheathed and placed on the little boy's neck.
"Ho ho..." The little boy suddenly screamed, struggled and shouted.
Yu Qing pinched the back of his neck with his hands, and the little boy immediately rolled his eyes and stopped moving.
The man in black who landed on the ground was startled for a moment when he saw who had made the move. Then he glanced at Mu Aotie, who was standing next to Yu Qing with his sword drawn on guard. His eyes returned to Yu Qing's face, and he frowned and said, "It's you. ?”
He was obviously confused. If he wanted to kidnap his son, why did he save his son before?
Yu Qing also looked at the other person clearly and refused to let go of the sword in his hand from the little boy's neck, "We meet again."
To be honest, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect that not only did he find the other party, but he also captured a hostage so easily. He saved a lot of things and felt more at ease.
Seeing that it was him, the man in black relaxed a little, looked in the direction of the valley, and asked, "How did you find the tunnel and reach here?"
It was obvious that he couldn't believe that he didn't care about his son first.
Yu Qing: "That's not important. What's important is, why did you go to kill the boy in the village last night?"
"Young man?" The man in black was startled, and then sneered: "Did the people in Rift Valley Villa say that I killed him? If I said that they killed him, would you believe it?"
Yu Qing: "Xin, as long as you can give a convincing reason."
The man in black showed an interesting look, "Why, you don't believe what Rift Valley Villa said, why do you still have to come to me to confirm it?"
Yu Qing: "The Rift Valley Villa said that their thousands of years of suffering may be related to the demon world. I just don't understand. If you are really sent by the demon world, why would you bring such a young son with you to take risks? This is very inappropriate. Common sense.”
Man in black: "What does it have to do with you whether it's reasonable or not?"
The edge of the sword in Yu Qing's hand pressed against the little boy's neck, "It matters now."
The man in black stared at him and suddenly said: "You are not here to eliminate demons from the Rift Valley Villa. I don't care who you are or what you want to do. For the sake of saving my son, take my son away." Let go, I can let you go."
Yu Qing: "You can do as you wish, but you haven't answered my question yet. Was he the boy you killed last night?"
Man in black: "You should listen to my advice last night, stay out of trouble and leave as soon as possible."
Yu Qing suddenly felt strange, "If you weren't the one who killed me, wouldn't it be better to explain it clearly and clear my name?"
Man in black: "No need to explain clearly. Some questions are not what you should ask, and some answers are not what you should know."
Yu Qing's heart moved slightly, and he pointed at the single-edged halberd pattern on the unconscious child's chest with a loose finger, "If I guess correctly, you also have a single-edged halberd tattoo on your chest."
The man in black stared at him quietly, and finally said slowly: "Do you also care about the tattoos my father and son use?"
Yu Qing: "Why use the Wu clan emblem, and why do you use the enemy's clan emblem as a tattoo?"
The man in black didn't answer the question, "My patience has its limits. Do you really think I won't dare to take action if you take my son as a hostage?"
Yu Qing also answered the question incorrectly and suddenly asked, "Who is the guard holding the halberd?"
As soon as these words came out, the man in black had a look of shock on his face, and finally his eyes glowed with a dark light, and a strong murderous intention appeared on his whole body.
Seeing this reaction, Yu Qing understood that this person really knew the important secret. He was just a test. If he didn't know, he wouldn't understand, so there wouldn't be any reaction.
Now that he knew it, he immediately smiled and said: "If we start a fight, it's not certain who will win, but I can be sure that even if you kill me, you won't be able to silence me, because there are other people who know the purpose of our coming here. .”
The man in black: "Then I'll kill them all!" He walked forward slowly.
Yu Qing: "You should understand that as long as someone comes after the secret you keep, it means that the secret has been leaked. Have you heard of 'Xiaoyunjian'? Xianjia Cave, the cave of Fairy Yunzhong, has been Found it, I came here because I saw the records about this place. Have you heard of Qianliu Mountain, Sinan Mansion and Dayesi? Their people are searching everywhere in Xiaoyunjian, and sooner or later they will see what I saw. Something. You can no longer keep your secret!"
