Could it be that there was a sneak attack by someone or a monster?
"But what happened? What about Gu Xun? Where are Baili Xiaoran, my senior sister, and the others?" she asked eagerly, with a hint of unnoticeable panic in her voice.
Du Junyan bowed his hands and said hurriedly: "Junior sister Yun, don't worry, the others haven't come back yet, it's not that they have discovered any danger."
"Then..." Yun Ling looked at him suspiciously. Why was he so anxious?
"Junior Sister Yun, look at this mountain spring."
Du Junyan drew out his long sword and swung it. The blade of the sword enlarged and floated on the spring water, instantly cutting off the water flowing from top to bottom, revealing the appearance of the rocks behind the spring water.
It's just a mountain wall covered with moss, no different from the surrounding rocks.
"Originally, Junior Brother Gu and I didn't know the formation here. Unexpectedly, an hour and a half ago, there was a sudden noise behind the spring. After we investigated, we found that there was a stone door slowly opening in the mountain wall here.
Since you went out to investigate and haven't come back yet, Junior Brother Gu went out to explore the way first and ordered me to wait for you at the same place when you come back."
Du Junyan continued with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that the stone gate would suddenly close half an hour later without warning. I have been looking for more than an hour and still haven't found a way to restart it. I guess this is a formation that was lost in ancient times. I don't know.
How to turn it on."
Yun Ling gathered her spiritual energy at her fingertips, picked up the Migu Bead, and explored the mountain wall up and down.
There are no traces of spiritual energy fluctuations or formations!
Although they had not been together for long, she believed that Du Junyan would not lie. It seemed that there was indeed a mystery hidden here.
"Senior Brother Du, can you tell me what happened in detail?"
Yun Ling and Du Junyan were studying the mysteries of the mountain wall by the spring, and Ah Jiu was a little bored.
It jumped and played on the lotus leaves downstream of the mountain spring for a long time. When it returned to Yun Ling, it smelled a trace of special spiritual energy residue. It sniffed its nose and found that this special spiritual energy smell was not on Yun Ling, but on Yun Ling.
It's on the mountain wall in front of you.
Slightly, if there is something, it seems like nothing.
"There is a residual spiritual energy on these stones, which is exactly the same as that emitted by the jade plaque just now." Ah Jiu pointed at the mountain wall. He sniffed his nose again, shook his head and said, "It has completely dissipated now."
The same smell?
Du Junyan also said that the strange movement on the mountain wall happened an hour and a half ago. Could it be related to what she dug out of the birch tree?
Yun Ling took out the jade plaque from the storage bracelet. When the jade plaque touched her palm, something suddenly changed, making her eyes slightly stunned.
The jade plaque, which was originally the same as ordinary jade, is now covered with blood-red lines. This blood-red thing is not like cinnabar, and there is no smell of blood when smelling it. There is only a rich and strange fragrance. I don't know what kind of spirit it is.
Colored by the branches and leaves of the plant.
Seeing Yun Ling suddenly holding a jade sign and gesticulating in front of the rocks, Du Junyan asked without knowing why: "Junior Sister Yun, what is this? Do you have a way to crack it?"
Yun Ling shook his head: "I don't know what this is. I just found it by chance when I was surveying at the foot of the southeast mountain. Ajiu, my spirit beast, said that this jade plaque is somewhat similar to the smell left on the rocks, so I
I want to find out if there is any connection between the two, which may help us crack it."
Du Junyan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this: "I often read the ancient records in the sect, saying that the formations set up by the great masters in ancient times were extremely complicated, and it would take quite a while for them to break the formations they set up.
Kung Fu, so they will make a key for the formation they set up to facilitate their own or their disciples' entry and exit.
Maybe, this is the key!"
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Yun Ling felt a little unreal, how could such a coincidence happen in the world.
"How about giving it a try? Junior Sister Yun, can you use your spiritual power to follow these lines?" Du Junyan suggested.
Yun Ling nodded.
After the green spiritual energy traveled three times on the jade tablet, the originally dim stone door suddenly burst out with a burst of spiritual light, and the rocks rumbled, revealing a dark cave.
Is this okay?
"Senior Brother Du, I'll go find Gu Xun first, and I'd like to ask you to wait outside for the others to come back and inform you of this matter."
Yun Ling raised her feet and walked into the cave, but Du Junyan stopped her and said worriedly: "Junior Sister Yun, this is inappropriate. We don't know Junior Brother Gu's situation now. It's too dangerous for you to go in alone.
Why don't you wait for a while, wait for Junior Brother Baili to come back, and then I'll be relieved to go with you."
It's a good thing he didn't mention it. When the name Baili Xiaoran was mentioned, Yun Ling didn't want to stay even more.
She really felt a little embarrassed when she was alone facing Baili Xiaoran who had changed her identity.
"I can go alone. As long as I hold this jade token, Senior Brother Du doesn't have to worry about me not getting out. Besides, there is Gu Xun inside to explore the way. I..."
"Sister, I'm with you."
Just as she was making her promise, she was interrupted by a male voice. It was Baili Xiaoran who was returning from exploration from the northwest.
After receiving the message from Du Junyan, he rushed back without stopping, and finally got back before Yun Ling planned to take risks alone.
"No need, Senior Brother Baili. I can just go in by myself. I don't know what the situation is inside. You should wait outside. Don't miss this rare trip to Dragon Spirit."
After Yun Ling finished speaking, he went straight inside.
Baili Xiaoran shook his head. This time he did not retreat. He followed her step by step with a determined expression.
The two of them walked quickly along the corridor of the cave, silent all the way.
"Senior Brother Baili, I have not agreed to perform the bloodline tracing method. It is impossible to say that I am not the person you are looking for, so why do you waste your experience for such an uncertainty?"
Perhaps the narrow corridor was too long, and there were only the same rocks on both sides. In the silence, only the sound of their footsteps sounded a bit lonely, and Yun Ling couldn't help but break the silence.
Baili Xiaoran remained silent.
After a long time, he stopped and said in a firm yet calm tone: "No matter whether you are my mother's disciple or not, whether you are from the Baili family or not, whether you are leisurely or not, as long as you are Yun Ling, you are my Baili family."
As Xiaoran's friend, I will not let you put yourself in danger."
Yun Ling only felt that the coolness of the ground around him dissipated in an instant, and waves of hot heat surged from his heart, flowing along his internal organs and blood, so hot that mist evaporated before his eyes.
Baili Xiaoran walked past her, but his pace had slowed down.
"Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans." He said softly: "After my father lost his mother, he fell into despair. To be honest, he didn't take care of me when I was young. He was his senior brother and my master.
, Chang Ming Jian Zun took care of me and taught me.
He drank to drown his sorrows and spent decades in a muddle. Do you know what finally made him sober up and start fulfilling his responsibilities as a father?"
