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 had something in her heart: "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 "crack" 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 pond safely through the silver wire.
"Young City Lord, 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 more, her body was too weak to hold on and 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 drops 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 dimmed a lot.
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.
‘Has it been 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, so it will 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 stared closely at his movements. He was probably angry that there was more golden boiling water poured by Yan Qing in the pool.
Time passed bit by bit, and everyone was a little anxious.
Ji Qiuyu's illusion talisman can only last for one hour. At that time, the illusion disappears and Ting Lan is found missing. This person doesn'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.
"It's weird, how did that teleportation array send us under the ditch?"
Lin Jialuo's casual words made Cheng Yan's face change.
Yes, if it was a teleportation array at 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 Yuan was shocked and let the Lingfu grass blow away the rustling flowers and vines in the wind.
In an instant, the light shone brightly, and the statue revealed its original 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 tall, but only half of her face was carved.
But even from half of her face, you can see the woman’s deep eyebrows, noble and cool look.
It's just that this person looks 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 Yuan's face.
"The eyebrows and eyes are the most similar, but the rest look different."
"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-point statue to a seven-to-eight statue."
After hearing what Yu Zimao said, Cheng Yan immediately became serious.
"It really looks like it!" Lin Jia nodded repeatedly.
"This is strange." Ji Qiuyu thought for a moment and asked softly: "Is it related to your life experience, Ah Yuan?"
All of them know 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 Ting Lan wrapped in Lingfu grass leaves.
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 gasped.
In the past few days, they have had a narrow escape from death.
The moment the statue was removed, the entire space collapsed.
At the critical moment, Cheng Yan stuffed a high-level magical talisman into his hand and narrowly rushed out.
I don’t want to encounter the black-robed man and the ghost beast as soon as I come 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 black-robed man without looking back.
('')
Everyone's expressions were like this at that time.
At that time, Cheng Yan could not clearly see the person's appearance, 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.
"A man without a cure?"
"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 but didn't warn us?"
"What about eating people with short mouths?"
"Don't talk about martial ethics!"
Several people complained every word to me.
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 him."
"Senior, do you know who he is?" Cheng Yan asked.
Taoist Yangchun recalled: "If I remember correctly, that person is an alchemist."
"I'm refining the evil elixir." Gong Shan interrupted.
"He is an unrecognizable guy. He has connections with Xianqimen, and guards from Xianqimen come here every six months."
"If you are sneaky, you will definitely not do 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 said.
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 up 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 fluctuation: "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." p>
"The old man still wants to watch the sunrise for a few more days. Otherwise you-" Before Gong Shan finished speaking, he saw that Cheng Yun and others had already taken out a bag of spiritual stones.
