Zhu Lingwu glanced at the ancestor who was asking him, and deliberately made a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, I, I was flying in the air and fled to the mountains behind with the others. Later, I seemed to see a flash under a lake here, so I came down and took a look!"

Zhu Lingwu deliberately hugged the little white fox and said with a thoughtful look.

The ancestors of the Zhu family's foundation-building ancestors couldn't help but look at Zhu Lingwu with strange eyes, obviously waiting for Zhu Lingwu to continue talking.

But the ancestor of Changfang, who was at the peak of foundation building, seemed to have thought of something, and a slight glowed in his eyes.

"Then, I saw a flashing stone pillar at the bottom of the lake. I touched it with my hand. It seemed that something had pierced my hand, and then a hole appeared. I came in. I saw the signs on the wall, so I followed it here!"

What Zhu Lingwu said is basically true, and the lies may only be 10% , that is, he took the initiative to hide in the lake.

"So that's it! It seems that it is also the protection of our ancestors. Good boy. Since you are here, maybe it's God's will! Then you can follow us! Being able to leave a little more blood for the clan is also the foundation for my Zhu family to continue!"

The ancestor of the Changfang was not asking anything. Obviously he knew the secret passage in this lake.

Since Zhu Lingwu is also a descendant of Zhu's family, of course he would not do anything to Zhu Lingwu now.

"But, my ancestor, my mother, my elder brother? Aren't you on the hills of the ancestral land? Why did my mother, my elder brother sacrifice for the family? How did they sacrifice?"

Zhu Lingwu looked at these old guys, but there was a hint of anger inexplicably. Why were nine of them safe and sound while others were all so-called sacrifices?

Zhu Lingwu's words once again made the ancestors who had built the foundation look ugly, and this seemed to hit their painful feet again.

"Hmph, what are you thinking, your children and grandchildren? Do you think that the ancestors will watch your mother and your elder brother die? They are also the juniors whom I am waiting for. There is no way out. The spirit of guarding the sacrificial hall cannot stop the demon's magic spells. They have tried their best and persevered until the end, and have to exhaust the spiritual power in their bodies! And I am just to preserve our strength in order to avenge them in the future!"

Another ancestor said next to him, but he made an excuse for his behavior.

"Okay, grandchildren, don't think too much. You will know in the future that the ancestors have to do this! In short, your mother and your elder brother's sacrifice will not be wasted. The ancestors will definitely avenge them in the future!"

The ancestor Changfang seemed to have abandoned some mood at this moment, and then said seriously to Zhu Lingwu.

Zhu Lingwu looked at them. Although he was unwilling to give up on this matter, what could he do now?

All the nine people here are immortal cultivators who have built foundations. He is just a low-level qi refiner, who has not even reached the fourth level of qi refiner.

"Okay! The ancestors, the children and grandchildren know! However, for the ancestors, there seems to be no other way here. Could it be that the ancestors mean, let us hide here first?"

Zhu Lingwu had just let go of his thoughts and had to return the topic to his way out.

At this time, the nine ancestors who had built the foundation here also checked the last hall. Several of them heard about this passage for the first time, so they didn't know what mechanisms there were here.

Only the ancestor of the long house came to the stone statue on the other side of the hall, leaned over and knelt on the ground, and cried out in his mouth, "Ancestor, my juniors are unfilial and have not been able to protect the family. Now I can only escape with this secret passage. Please point out the way out for my juniors!"

As he bowed, a talisman light suddenly lit up under him. It seemed that this kind of kneeling was a way to open the secret way.

Zhu Lingwu carefully looked at the position where the ancestor knelt down. From the surface, it looked no different from other places. But if you count it carefully, this position was in a straight line with the stone statue and the desk in front of the stone statue.

The ground here is also covered with regular floor tiles. As expected, this mechanism is designed that is not easy to be found. Only the descendants of Zhu, who know the inside story and are willing to bow to their ancestors, can open this kind of talisman.

No, it seems that the ancestor also inputs spiritual power underground in a special way. It seems that the secret passage here also requires the use of spiritual power to output by himself.

As the talisman light appeared on the ground, the talisman light suddenly lit up inside the stone statue. Then the entire stone statue melted like a candle, scattering stones downwards.

Then only a thin, seemingly fragile wooden spiritual pillar was left standing there.

This design is also very clever. If an external enemy arrives here, the stone statue will definitely be destroyed. Then the wooden spiritual pillar hidden in the stone statue will naturally be destroyed at the same time.

Foreign enemies will not be able to open the mechanism here and leave here, which may cause other effects, which will directly cause the underground secret passage to collapse.

Now, with the appearance of the wooden spirit pillar, a ball of spiritual light flew out of the wooden spirit pillar, and then turned into a rust yellow spiritual light and shone on the top of the hall.

This inspiration should have a special magic effect. In an inconspicuous position at the top of the hall, the stones on the surface and the luminous crystals inlaid in it all fell to the ground.

Finally, a magic array formed by runes appeared inside. Now, under the illumination of spiritual light, spiritual power fluctuations flashed on the magic array.

So the ancestor of the eldest house also stood up and made several magic tricks in his hand, turning them into several talismans and flew towards the magic array.

"There are really multiple insurances. If I were myself, I'm afraid I would never find a way out when I got here!"

Zhu Lingwu couldn't help but murmur in his heart, he didn't expect that such complicated procedures would be required to open the exit here.

Finally, after so many methods, the magic circle above lit up again with a continuous earth-yellow luster. What kind of earth-type spell should have been activated?

Soon a yellow light spread upwards, and a burst of sand fell from there, opening a passage there at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Based on the amount of sand and soil accumulation on the ground, it is difficult to determine the distance between the channel and the ground. It looks like this exit does not look straight, and there is continuous mud and sand flowing down the channel.

There is indeed a mechanism on the top floor of this hall, otherwise this method would not have been used to set up the outgoing channel.

"Okay, everyone, let's go! The exit is in a farm cellar outside Umbourg. However, there should be a demon guarding it outside now, so everyone must be careful. If the demon discovers our traces, it is afraid that there will be danger!"

The ancestor of the eldest house breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said to the ancestors of the Zhu family who had built the foundation.

Finally, he looked at Zhu Lingwu again. Seeing that Zhu Lingwu was still holding the little white fox, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his eyes.

"Children, if you escape this time, the ancestors may not be able to protect you much, and you must also be more careful. However, the ancestors believe that you are a smart child and should know how to do it! As for this spirit beast, it is too conspicuous to hold it like this. Either leave it here or cover it up with something!"

In fact, according to the meaning of this ancestor of the eldest house, it is best not to take the little white fox in Zhu Lingwu's hand.

After all, animals have no intelligence. If something happens at critical moments and exposes them, it will pose a threat to all of them.

"Okay, don't worry, my ancestors, my little Daji is very smart and has a close relationship with me. It will not harm me, but will help me! Otherwise, I'll hide it!"

In fact, Zhu Lingwu was also a little embarrassed at this time. Since he had a way out, he didn't want to leave with these old guys. Who knows if they would take him to cover up or something?

Besides, his Qiankun storage bag also has clothes for the rioters, but now he can't take them out and replace them directly. I guess these old guys must suspect him.

The ancestor of the eldest house had to look at the little white fox in Zhu Lingwu's arms and stop saying anything after hearing what Zhu Lingwu said.

At this time, the little white fox couldn't help pretending to be pitiful with its charming eyes, looking at the ancestors around who had built foundations, and slightly swung its four fox tails.

"It turned out to be a nine-tailed spirit fox, and it has already grown four tails. Children and grandchildren, this spirit beast has some foundation. Can you control it?"

Another ancestor next to him also recognized the origin of the little white fox. Looking at the little white fox's eyes, it was inevitable that there was something strange.

"Well, it is already my guardian spirit beast! We can still talk to each other! Now my mother and elder brother are gone, and my father was also killed on the way home before. There is only it by my side, and I must not lose it!"

When Zhu Lingwu saw the old guy's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He hurriedly told the story of the little white fox being his own guardian spirit beast, which saved him from other thoughts.

"Dharma Protective Spirit Beast? Alas, speaking of it, your child is really good, but it's a pity that this qualification is really a pity! However, who can tell the things in this world? Maybe you, the child, Fuze, will be able to enter the immortal path in the future!"

The elder's ancestor couldn't help but look at the little white fox in surprise when he heard Zhu Lingwu say this.

He had already remembered many things about Zhu Lingwu. For immortal cultivators, their memory is naturally excellent. Many things can be found only if they have this information in their minds.
