After calming down for a moment, Taoist Jinju asked in a deep voice, "How long have they been in there?"
"It probably won't last more than half a quarter of an hour!"
Taoist Jin Ju thought for a moment before walking into the cave.
The main body of the cave is made of extremely hard basalt. It is difficult to imagine how much effort it took to build such a cave here.
However, it is also possible that a strong person took action and directly opened it up with great power.
Taoist Jinju took out a chrysanthemum from his arms and threw it above his head. The chrysanthemum floated in the air on its own, casting a light yellow light and illuminating the entire cave.
Taoist Jinju walked towards the corner of the cave and gently groped the cave wall with his hands.
He could see that there was a very thin crack on the cave wall, which was the secret door of Old Man Luoye's cave, and there was a very hard-to-find palm print next to this crack.
Taoist Jin Ju placed his palm on it, but the secret door did not move at all.
He punched the cave wall angrily, but the hard cave wall responded with two bloody marks on his fist.
"Huo family... you are really my disaster! Huo Xuemin, you'd better pray that your damn father protects you and doesn't let me catch you again, otherwise I will torture you so hard that you won't be able to survive. Please You can't die!" Taoist Jinju said viciously, and then walked out of the cave.
Seeing his appearance, all the subordinates immediately understood something, and they didn't dare to step forward to touch his troubles.
"Leave half of the people to guard here with me, and the rest will go search around the Valley of Death to see if there are any other exits from this cave. Those who find it will be rewarded heavily!" Taoist Jin Ju said.
At the same time, in the cave.
Huo Xuemin was standing with Zilan and Atong walking on a long stone staircase.
The cave became extremely small, only allowing a slightly fatter adult man to pass through.
Zi Lan walked in front alone, Huo Xuemin followed at the back, and A Tong walked in the middle.
"Why do I feel like this road is leading us underground?"
In the darkness, Huo Xuemin spoke.
Zi Lan replied, "Yes, we are indeed walking downwards. It is estimated that we have reached a depth of nearly dozens of feet if we go down this way."
"So deep? What on earth did my father bury here to hide it from others?" Huo Xuemin couldn't help but sigh.
"I think so too. If I just hide Old Man Luoye here, there is no need to hide him like this. After all, even if Old Man Luoye offended so many people in the martial arts world and the court, with the power of the Huo family at that time, he was enough to hide him like this. Old Man Luoye was saved." Zi Lan said, "In other words, there must be some other reason why Mr. Huo had to hide this place so that outsiders would not know about it."
After walking for a while, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark cave.
Zi Lan cautiously looked at the circle of light around the corner in front of her.
In the darkness, A Tong behind him didn't stop and bumped into his butt.
"Why did you stop? It hurts my head!" A Tong complained, stroking his little head.
Huo Xuemin put her hand on his head in a funny way and rubbed it for him.
Zi Lan had no time to talk to Atong. After observing him, he slowed down and leaned forward.
Everyone turned the corner and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
Living.
I saw a golden door standing quietly in front of me, with two exquisite and luxurious glazed lamps hanging on the door, emitting dazzling light.
On the golden gate, there is a line of words engraved with flying dragons and phoenixes, non-residents of the Huo Mansion are not allowed to enter.
After observing for a moment, Zi Lan thoughtfully looked at A Tong, who had been silent.
Perhaps it was because he had just experienced such a cruel and bloody incident that he rarely spoke now.
Huo Xuemin stared at the door for a while and then said, "There shouldn't be any danger here. How about we go in and take a look?"
Zi Lan said with a serious face, "It says on it that people who are not from the Huo Mansion are not allowed to enter..."
Huo Xuemin didn't understand what he meant and said, "Well... aren't we both from the Huo family? As for A Tong... he is from Luojin Village, and Luojin Village guards this place for our Huo family.
, strictly speaking, he is also considered a subordinate clan member of our Huo family. "
Zi Lan shook her head, but started to send a message to Huo Xuemin, "I don't think the matter is that simple. Logically speaking, it should be written on the door that non-Huo family members are not allowed to enter, so as to prevent other foreigners from entering. But it says on it that people who are not from the Huo family are not allowed to enter, which means that this is actually to guard against people within the Huo family. As you said, Luojin Village can be considered a member of the Huo family, but they have never set foot in the Huo family. Mansion, so they are not considered to be members of the Huo Mansion..."
"Stop talking!" Huo Xuemin glared at Zi Lan and said, "I said he is from the Huo family, and he is from the Huo family! He is just a poor child, are you so guarded against him?"
After saying that, Huo Xuemin picked up Atong, who had been pouting, and took him through the door.
However, this pull did not pull.
Huo Xuemin turned around, only to find Atong squatting on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Sister, I know that our Luojin Village did not complete the tasks assigned by the Huo family, and even failed to live up to the expectations of the head of the Huo family. We have brought you a lot of trouble, so we don’t deserve sister’s forgiveness, nor do we deserve to walk through this door…”
Huo Xuemin's eyes turned red, and she leaned over and slowly hugged Atong.
Precocious children are never the happiest, and their happiness will gradually dissipate as they discover more and more age-inappropriate life trivialities and become burdened with these pressures.
Huo Xuemin stroked Atong's head distressedly and said, "From today on, you are my brother and a member of my Huo family."
Atong's body trembled, and then he slowly hugged Huo Xuemin and whispered in her ear, "Sister...sister!"
Zi Lan stood quietly and looked at the words on the door, sighing softly.
Finally, Huo Xuemin took Atong and pushed open the door.
When you walk into the gate, you will see a road paved with emerald agate.
If such a precious treasure were placed outside, it would definitely be used to make expensive jewelry in the hope that it would gain a higher value. However, if it is placed here, it is only used as a stepping stone. If the jewelers see this, I am afraid they will immediately Will vomit three liters of blood.
Carefully walking onto the dim road, Huo Xuemin just put down her feet when two lines of flames quickly ignited on both sides of the road.
I saw two lines of channels made of colored glaze on both sides of the road. I don't know what kind of liquid was put in them. At this time, they burned brightly and illuminated the entire cave.
Under the road, a large pit was dug, filled with bones.
"Down here...how many people died? Why did they die here?" Huo Xuemin asked curiously.
"I don't know. It's probably not a thousand, but probably a few hundred!" Zi Lan said lightly.
As everyone walked on the road, every step of their footsteps would echo in the cave.
There are huge pearls embedded in the cave wall above your head, reflecting the dazzling light. From a distance, they look like a totem of the galaxy, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in it.
"Look! What is that?" Atong pointed to the end of the road and saw a tall platform standing majestically.
Huo Xuemin squinted her eyes and couldn't see clearly what was on the high platform after looking for a long time.
At this time, Zi Lan moved from the end of the team to the front and said in a deep voice, "There's something wrong up there. Be careful and follow me!"
Upon hearing Zi Lan say this, Huo Xuemin couldn't help but pull A Tong behind her and followed Zi Lan closely.
Everyone slowly walked along the road to the high platform.
I saw a magnificent and domineering crystal chair placed on a high platform. A man shrouded in black robes sat on the chair. There was an antique table in front of him. On the table was quietly placed a The white jade plate was empty.
"Is this... is this person still alive?" Huo Xuemin hid behind Zi Lan and said carefully, "This is what they said, then what... Old Man Luoye?"
Zi Lan looked around and walked around the high platform again. She didn't find anything suspicious. She thought for a moment and said, "It should be so. It is said that the old man Luoye loved to collect all kinds of gold and silver jewelry and robbed many of them." It is a private collection in the mansion of a wealthy businessman. If the head of the Huo family built a cave for him, it would make sense to make it look like this. However,
This is already a corpse, why do I still feel an extremely powerful aura on him? "
Zi Lan frowned, carefully approached the chair, and with a burst of force, knocked off the black robe and hood, revealing an old face.
"Yes, yes, this person is Old Man Luoye. I have seen his portrait!" Huo Xuemin said with certainty after looking at him.
At this time, Atong came to the table again, opened the white jade plate, and unexpectedly pulled out a note from underneath.
"Look, what I found!" Atong said in surprise.
Huo Xuemin hurriedly came over, looked at the note and said, "This is the corpse of Old Man Luoye. There is a Luoye Gu Emperor sealed in it. The blood of the Huo family can bring his own protector into the body and attain the ninth level of Taoism!"
"Ah this..." After Huo Xuemin finished reading, she suddenly said in surprise, "Zi Lan, come on, come on, come on, take a look!"
After reading the contents of the note, Zi Lan was also amazed.
At the same time, he carefully stared at the pattern around the white jade plate for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, and his frown became tighter.
Seeing this, Huo Xuemin remained silent and did not disturb him.
After a while, Zi Lan took a deep breath, carefully put down the plate, and said, "I have roughly figured out the origin of this cave!"
Huo Xuemin asked doubtfully, "You...is there something on this plate? Why didn't I see it?"
Huo Xuemin picked up the plate and looked at it carefully. She could see nothing except a small circle of strange patterns on the edge.
