Ting Lan slowly raised her head. From her direction, she could only see Ji Qiuyu and others directly above her, but she said as if she was feeling something: "Young City Lord, is that you?"
"it's me!"
Cheng Yan held back tears and poured a bottle of ore onto the iron chain that penetrated her pipa bone.
The iron chain made a squeaking sound and burned and dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two iron chains were broken, and Tinglan fell uncontrollably. Cheng Yuan hugged her and activated the illusion talisman.
Lingfucao rolled the two of them up and returned to the pool safely through the silver thread.
"Young City Master, is it really you?" Ting Lan stared blankly at Cheng Yuan who was hugging her, thinking she was dreaming.
But before she could say anything else, her body was so weak that she fainted.
Ji Qiuyu quickly drank the pool water for her.
"Let's get out of here first."
At this time, the familiar sound of water droplets came from the passage not far away.
Several people were shocked and hid under the ditch as quickly as possible.
…
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
The sound is getting closer.
The light above them became much dimmer.
Cheng Yuan could vaguely see the ghost beast through the grease covering the surface of the ditch.
The man in black robe carried the barrel, glanced in the direction of the pool, and suddenly roared angrily.
'Discovered? ’ Yu Zimao swallowed.
Ji Qiuyu shook his head and signaled to the others to calm down.
Her illusory talisman was obtained by her father from the Suiyang sect in the southern border, and it would not be broken easily.
After they waited for a while, they saw the man taking out some bottles and cans and pouring them into the pool.
Cheng Yan watched his movements closely. He was probably angry that there was more golden boiling water poured by Yan Qing in the pool of water.
Time passed bit by bit, and several people were a little anxious.
Ji Qiuyu's illusion talisman could only last for an hour. At that time, the illusion disappeared and Ting Lan was found missing. This person didn't know what to do.
Probably after hearing Cheng Yuan's thoughts, this man poured the scarlet in the barrel into the water after handling it, and then left with the ghost beast.
After waiting for a while, Cheng Yan, Ji Qiuyu and others came out from underneath.
Several people searched around the secret room and found no other exit. They could only go out in the direction in which the man in black robe left.
"That's weird, how did that teleportation array send us under the ditch?"
Lin Jialuo's casual words made Cheng Yan's expression change.
Yes, if it was a teleportation array with the same entrance, then why were they transported into the ditch?
Could it be that the large number of people caused the teleportation array to deviate?
As a group of people came out of the passage, countless flowers fell from above their heads. When they turned around, they saw a tall statue.
The statue is covered with flowers, covering its original appearance.
"I don't know who that person is, staying in such a ghost place."
Lin Jialuo casually uncovered the rustling flowers on one side of the statue, revealing the translucent crystal underneath.
"Marrow!"
Cheng Yan was shocked and let the Lingfu grass blow away the rustling flower vines in the wind.
In an instant, the light shone brightly, and the statue revealed its true appearance.
It's a woman.
Lin Jialuo exclaimed: "Why only half a face?"
The woman's complex and solemn robes and dignified manners were carefully carved on the statue several people high, but only half of her face was carved.
But even from half of her face, you can see the woman's deep brows, noble and cool look.
However, this man looked a little familiar.
Cheng Yan looked back and saw Ji Qiuyu, Lin Jialuo, and Yu Zimao looking at her in unison.
Cheng Yuan belatedly touched his face.
"You also think she looks a bit like me?"
The three of them nodded in unison.
Ji Qiuyu looked back and forth between the statue's half face and Cheng Yan's face.
"The eyebrows and eyes are the most similar, but the rest don't look alike."
"That's because Junior Sister Cheng is always smiling. If she had a straight face like this statue, she would have gone from a three-cent statue to a seven-eight-cent statue."
After hearing what Yu Zimao said, Cheng Yan immediately became serious.
"It really looks like it!" Lin Jia nodded repeatedly.
"That's strange." Ji Qiuyu thought for a moment and asked softly: "Could it be related to your life experience, Ah Yuan?"
All of them knew what happened between Cheng Yuan and the young city lord.
In the past, I only knew that Cheng Yuan was not the young city lord, but I never thought about where she came from and who her parents were.
Cheng Yan couldn't help but stare at Tinglan, who was wrapped in the leaves of Lingfu grass.
Yan Qing said that this incident was caused by Ting Lan and Wei.
Then maybe she knows the ins and outs of this matter, and who is engraved on this statue?
"I want this statue."
…
Three days later, Cheng Yan and others arrived at the North City Gate in disgrace.
"Jie Jie, are you still alive?" Gong Shan's laughter came from the skull.
"I almost couldn't get out." Cheng Yan held on to the wall and panted.
In the past few days, several of them had a narrow escape from death.
The moment the statue was removed, the entire space collapsed.
At the critical moment, Cheng Yuan stuffed a high-level magical talisman into his hand and rushed out narrowly.
I didn't want to encounter the black-robed man and the ghost beast as soon as I came out.
When the ghost beast saw them, it rushed over, but unexpectedly the man in black robe suddenly let out a heart-rending roar.
Then the ghost beast turned around and ran away with the man in black robe without looking back.
('')
Everyone's expressions were like this at that time.
At that time, Cheng Yan couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but the moment he saw her, his pupils could be described as earthquakes.
I don't know if it was because of her face that the man in black robe fled.
"Is there no medicine man?"
"Not eaten?"
"He let you go?"
Gong Shan clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Senior, do you know that person exists?"
"You knew there was danger and didn't warn us?"
"What about eating people with short mouths?"
"Don't talk about martial ethics!"
Several people complained with each other.
Gong Shan said sarcastically: "I don't remember, my brain is not working well."
Taoist Yangchun on the side coughed: "That person rarely comes out. It's been a long time, and we have all forgotten about him."
"Senior, do you know who he is?" Cheng Yan asked.
Taoist Yangchun recalled: "If I remember correctly, that man was an alchemist."
"Refining the evil pill." Gong Shan interrupted.
"He is an unrecognizable guy. He has connections with Xianqimen, and guards from Xianqimen come here every six months."
"You're sneaky and you're definitely not doing anyone's business."
The two remnant souls talked for a long time without saying the person's name. In the end, they only said that the person never came to the north gate, and that was all they knew.
"Should we report this matter to the Lord of the City?" Yu Zimao asked.
Ji Qiuyu said: "What if the city lord knows about this?"
"How could Lord City Lord——"
"Why not?"
"Okay. Let's go back." Cheng Yan interrupted the argument between the two.
Only then did a few people notice that Cheng Yan was in a low mood.
Lin Jialuo quickly gave Ji Qiuyu a friendly wink.
Ji Qiuyu stepped forward: "None of the past has anything to do with you. You are just Cheng Yuan now."
Cheng Yuan curled his lips: "You are right."
She raised her head and looked at the two remnant souls: "Do you two want to leave this place?"
"Where to go? Where can Tianchu accommodate two remnant souls?" Gong Shan smiled strangely.
Taoist Yangchun's voice had no fluctuations: "The two of us are dead, and now we are just two remnant souls. Just let us stay with this city like this. Maybe it won't take long before we dissipate."
"The old man still wants to watch the sunrise for a few more days. Otherwise you-" Before Gong Shan finished speaking, he saw Cheng Yun and others taking out a bag of spiritual stones.
"...Well, the kids these days are really very polite..."
