Ning Xiang struggled with pain to diagnose Lu Feng. She knew what kind of pain she was suffering. She knew in her heart that this was incurable pain, so she could just bear it alone.
"What's going on?"
Lu Feng was lucky enough to disperse the poison that invaded his forearm. He stared at Ning Xiang with concern, "Is this the poison from that ancient tomb? Where are the others?"
Ning Xiang's face suddenly turned bitter, tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes, and she sobbed: "Master... something happened to us."
"Those bastards from the Bottle Spirit Sect have forced us into a trap. They want to steal the treasures found in the tomb."
Lu Feng's face darkened: "What's going on? Tell me carefully!"
There was already murderous intent in the cold voice.
Recalling all the things he did to the Ping Ling Sect to ask for help that day, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a chill in his eyes.
Ning Xiang said anxiously: "Master~Sister Xin and the others are still trapped in the tomb mechanism. Let's go rescue them first. I'm afraid they won't last long. I'll tell you about my experience on this trip on the way."
Lu Feng resolutely interrupted: "You are too seriously injured, I will take you back to Qufu Mountain first, and then I will rescue you..."
Ning Xiang shook her head quickly: "Sister Xin and the others are in a very dangerous situation. They can't wait any longer. Moreover, the environment in the tomb is complicated. I walked through a short section to guide the way and reduce the time spent searching."
Lu Feng showed hesitation on his face, he was not sure about leaving Ning Xiang in such a state.
"My injury is not a problem," Ning Xiang said quickly after understanding: "As long as you don't use the spiritual energy, it won't get worse. Master~ we can't delay it any longer, let's leave quickly."
Lu Feng finally agreed to Ning Xiang's words. He knew that Ning Xiang was concerned about the safety of Qian Xin and the others at the moment, which was far more important than his own life. There was absolutely no way he could stop her. If he tried to stop her, if something went wrong, she might be killed.
It will make her regret it for the rest of her life.
The two turned back and headed towards the ancient tomb at the bottom of the abyss.
Because Ning Xiang was weak, had no strength left, and was filled with terrible toxins, in order not to delay his journey, Lu Feng had no choice but to tie her up with a quilt and run with her in his arms as if he were kidnapping someone.
On the road.
Ning Xiang poked her little head out of the quilt and spoke weakly:
"After we successfully entered the ancient tomb at the bottom of the abyss shown on the map, Huo Qiu, headed by the Bottle Spirit Sect, led his disciples to seize the command of the team and asked us to follow their orders no matter what happened.
"
"Although we were a little dissatisfied with his arrogant attitude, we thought he might have real abilities, so we didn't complain too much and followed his instructions."
"But the senior brothers of the Qingshan Sword Sect were dissatisfied with his attitude and argued with him. Some of them were unwilling to obey his instructions and wanted to ask the people of the Pingling Sect to treat each other as equals. When they met
Tell us in advance what changes will occur, instead of making your own decisions."
"Brother Shaoyang was worried that there would be infighting among them, so he stepped forward to mediate and calmed down the conflict."
"But during the subsequent march, the people of the Bottle Spirit Sect were openly and covertly targeting the senior brothers of the Qingshan Sword Sect. Once they encountered any danger or uncertain danger, they would ask them to send one person to explore.
road."
"The senior brothers of the Qingshan Sword Sect had put it aside because of their cruel words, and the Pingling Sect and the others also informed the Dangerous Sect as promised. They could no longer leave all the pathfinding work to the Pingling Sect and the others, so they agreed.
Got this job."
"During the subsequent march, we encountered a series of extremely dangerous tombs such as the 'Poison Centipede Cave', the 'Puppet Chamber of the Living Dead', and the 'Purgatory Fire Room'. The five senior brothers of the Qingshan Sword Sect were damaged along the way.
, in the end only Senior Brother Jiang Yingyu and Senior Brother Qu Chengan survived."
"On the other hand, the people of the Bottle Spirit Sect, although they are more or less injured, there are no casualties."
Lu Feng's face became extremely gloomy when he heard this, but then he thought that although the Bottle Spirit Sect's arrangement was excessive, it did not violate morality.
He knew that in order to gain access to the tomb, he really needed to give priority to protecting those who knew how to enter the tomb.
The Ping Ling Sect arranged for his Qingshan Sword Sect disciple to clear the way, which was not considered evil. The unfortunate outcome could only be blamed on the lack of strength of his Qingshan Sword Sect disciple.
But one thing needs to be ruled out...
Lu Feng asked with a sullen face: "Did the Ping Ling Sect and the Ping Ling Sect's group show any pre-predicted scenes in the tombs where the Qingshan Sword Sect's disciples were in danger?"
If they knew the danger but did not tell it, then Huo Qiu and the others from the Bottle Spirit Sect should really die!
Ning Xiang replied truthfully: "They didn't show this too obviously, but Sister Xin secretly said that she thought there was something wrong with those people. Because of this, she stood up and interrupted the moment before entering the purgatory fire room.
After being tempted by Senior Brother Qu Chengan, I took over the responsibility of exploring the path and invited Huo Qiu from the Pingling Sect to accompany me."
"Judging from the flash of stiffness on Huo Qiu's face and his refusal after hearing this, he should have anticipated the danger inside.
"
Lu Feng's face turned cold, "Keep talking."
Ning Xiang said with a bit of resentment: "Sister Xin relied on the set of plain silver ice armor given by Master, and successfully broke through the formation of the Purgatory Fire Room, and led us into a treasure house filled with
There are all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and there are countless jade elixirs at the earthly level."
"It was also from that time that the Bottle Spirit Sect and his party completely exposed their evil intentions. On the next branch of the road, they proposed to split up and then planned to lure the two senior brothers Qu Chengan and Jiang Yingyu away.
They were put to death and plundered the resources they had obtained."
"This is what Huo Qiu said personally before finally arriving at the main tomb. He said that in the treasure house, he had already found the map of the ancient tomb, and he deliberately led Senior Brother Qu Chengan and the others to die. Who told them to refute it in the first place?
His face."
"After he said these words, he began to force us to commit suicide to avoid future troubles. He acted like a villain and proudly thanked us for taking the trouble to give him such a generous gift to the Pingling Sect."
"I saw that the situation was not good, so I sprinkled the poisonous powder given by Teacher Ye and stopped Huo Qiu's approach."
"We seized this brief opportunity and fled toward a fork outside the main tomb."
"Huo Qiuxu didn't pursue us in depth because he knew it was a dead end."
Lu Feng's expression was complicated. He never expected that he had personally caused such a disaster! If he hadn't sought help from the Pingling Sect, his fellow disciples of the Qingshan Sword Sect would not have ended up in this situation.
Lu Feng instinctively held a grudge against the Pingling Sect, but because of his experience with Sikong Tong, he also felt that the latter should not be such a person. Maybe she didn't know about Huo Qiu...
But how could people from the same sect not understand the nature of a person like Huo Qiu?
Why would he be sent to help?
Could it be...
Lu Feng had an uneasy premonition in his heart.
This situation is most likely because the Bottle Spirit Sect is now beyond Sikong Tong's control. Huo Qiu's trip was not her intention, and she is powerless.
'It seems that it is necessary to enter the Bottle Spirit Sect again!'
Lu Feng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he continued to ask Ningxiang: "What happened after escaping to the dead end of the fork? That's where you got your injuries? What's the situation of Qianxin and the others?" Ningxiang said bitterly: "Let's go along.
The tunnel separated from the fork kept running deeper, and in a panic, he touched the mechanism inside, releasing countless terrifying mixed poisonous miasma."
"When I was forced into a desperate situation, I used the secret method taught by Teacher Ye to rush into the poisonous miasma alone. While pulling me, I also changed the direction of the poisonous miasma."
"In order to prevent the poisonous miasma from spreading as much as possible, I walked around the intricate forks for a long time, until I accidentally broke into a deep pool, fell and was washed away by the current outside the mountain tomb.
.”
…
After listening to Ning Xiang's statement, Lu Feng's face became as silent as death. Although the latter's words had tried his best to remain calm, the thrill in them, and the scene of sacrificing one's own life to protect his companions, still came to his mind.
, you can imagine how desperate the situation must have been for them at that time.
The whole journey was silent.
Ning Xiang felt Lu Feng's deep and solemn expression and complex thoughts, and did not dare to disturb him.
They stayed late at night, almost at midnight, and finally arrived at the entrance.
Through the dim moonlight, you can see the surrounding scenery. It is indeed as stated in Yun Buran's letter, with a hint of desolation.
The entrance is between two high mountains. From a distance, it looks like a complete mountain top has been split open with an axe, forming a canyon with a line of sky.
Standing in a line of passage between two mountains, looking up, along the uneven rock walls towards the dull sky, there is indeed a large accumulation of clouds, but the specific shape cannot be seen clearly, and the clouds cannot be distinguished.
The kind of pod cloud contained in the dye letter.
Come to think of it, the art of observing clouds and distinguishing environments is not as simple as looking at it with the naked eye. There should be other ways.
If you don't understand the reason, even if you are in a secret realm and encounter the right cloud layer, you may not be able to tell the difference.
Even if I were told in advance that there was a secret realm here...
Lu Feng stood between the two mountains, looking at the cold moonlight coming back from the end of the gap, and he couldn't tell where the entrance was.
"The entrance is hidden in the middle section."
Ning Xiang pointed to the long slit terrain ahead and motioned to move forward.
After Lu Feng reached the middle section of the sky, Ning Xiang raised her head again and solemnly said: "There is a square on the cliff on the right, which is the entrance to the mausoleum."
"I'll wait for you," Lu Feng signaled, leaving the illuminating jade beads in his hand to Ning Xiang, and stepped onto the cliff to investigate.
Climbing to a distance of twenty or thirty meters above the ground, I found the square entrance on the rock wall that Ning Xiang had mentioned.
The checkered entrance is embedded in the rock wall and is blocked by a square wooden door.
Based on the depth of the burial and the traces of the square wooden lattice door, it is inferred that its outer layer should have been covered by a layer of rock. At the beginning of the design, this entrance should have been artificially covered up.
The reason why it was exposed at this moment should be that Yun Buran broke through the dusty entrance under Guanyunjingjing, and also broke through the restriction between the Five Elements Realm and the Earth Soul Realm at the entrance. Based on this, it was deduced that it might be a ground.
Graveyard.
Lu Feng tapped the rock wall with one hand and touched the square lattice wooden door with the other hand, trying hard to move it to the left, right or up and down.
However, I discovered that this square wooden door was actually designed to fold, rather than move left and right. You only need to push it in slightly to open the entrance to the passage.
Lu Feng pushed open the checkered wooden door, cast his evil-dispelling eyes and looked towards the bottomless entrance corridor. He saw that its surface was smooth and smooth, as if it was made of the finest wood and would not rot or decay.
Make sure there is no danger.
Lu Feng returned to the ground and wrapped Ning Xiang in a quilt and brought her to the entrance just like he did before.
