At this time, the underground palace was in complete chaos. The floods knocked down buildings one after another, and large waves crashed on the rock walls, creating even larger undercurrents.
A rock wall in the left hall collapsed, and a large turbid wave poured in. The five people in the left hall were directly knocked into the underground river behind the wall, avoiding the danger of being swept deep into the underground palace by the turbulent water waves.
There are many places in this underground palace that are bottomless abyss. If they are really carried deep into the water by the waves, their final outcome will definitely be to fall into the abyss and be shattered into pieces.
Just as a few people were being rushed into the underground river, suddenly, there was a person hiding in a dark shadow on the top of the Xuan Palace. That person was swept into the underground river right behind Jin An and the others.
"Little brother, someone has been hiding on the beams of Xuan Palace, and someone followed us into the water!" the old Taoist priest exclaimed in the water.
"Be careful, old man!" Jin An saw several sarcophagi being washed into the underground river by the flood. Driven by the current, they quickly hit them.
Fortunately, Jin An reminded him in time, and the old Taoist priest narrowly missed those sarcophagi.
Thanks to the imperial water talisman, they were as comfortable as a fish in water, and were not afraid of the rough waves and undercurrents of the underground river.
The three of them did not need to consciously control their direction. They were carried forward by the rapid current. The water flowed downwards. As long as they followed the underground river and swam, they would definitely be able to escape from the outside world.
Although a lot of debris rushed in along the way, the three of them were able to avoid those underwater debris without any danger, and the journey was smooth.
But the three of them never gave up their vigilance and were always wary of the mysterious person following them. Who was hiding in the Xuan Palace without being discovered by them?
This person is either Xiao Ziming who is good at Earth Escape;
Or there was someone else who arrived at Xuan Palace before them.
Thinking of arriving at Xuan Palace before them, Jin An remembered the mysterious person who had helped them in the Bone Pit of Heaven and Earth. Could it be the same person?
Why hasn't the other party shown up?
At this time, the water flow in the underground river is becoming more and more turbulent, indicating that the water flow has formed a gap and is moving downwards.
"Little brother, I didn't expect that we escaped from the underground river twice when we went to the tomb. But this time we were much more relaxed than when we were in the Dragon King's tomb, thanks to the amazing work of these imperial water talismans."
"This Imperial Water Talisman is much more powerful than the Imperial Water Talisman I drew for you little brother. If I had had this Imperial Water Talisman earlier, even a landlubber like me, an experienced Taoist from all over the world, could have done it."
The old Taoist priest looked at the imperial water talisman in his hand in wonder and regarded it as a treasure.
The old Taoist priest relied on the blessing of the imperial water talisman on his body, and was still chattering: "Little brother, with such a powerful imperial water talisman, did my beautiful brother and sister give it to you when they knew you were going to the cave and heaven? You are so kind to me, little brother.
I also gave you the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman, and then I gave you the Six-Ding-Liujia Talisman, and this time I gave you several imperial water talismans, which are much better than the yellow talismans I drew."
"...It's just that the beautiful sister-in-law's imperial water talisman looks a bit familiar?" The old Taoist priest exclaimed in surprise.
"My beautiful sister-in-law draws spells that look like my handwriting?"
Well.
There were several black lines hanging from Jin An's forehead.
My god damn beautiful sister-in-law looks like an old Taoist to me.
No matter how he answered the conversation, he always felt that the old Taoist priest was deliberately taking advantage of him.
Jin An hurried on silently, a little depressed and angry, and ignored the old Taoist priest who was chattering along the way. The old Taoist priest turned around and curiously asked about sword sharpening, but sword sharpening was even more boring and boring than Jin An. He was tired of being pestered by the old Taoist priest all the way.
Chi Jian finally took a look at the old Taoist priest.
"Third Junior Brother, you said that Junior Wife is ugly."
Old Taoist priest: "?"
Seeing the old Taoist priest He Xiajian arguing in front of him and not taking his master seriously at all, Jin An felt that it was necessary to warn his two disciples so that they could learn what it means to respect their master and respect the Tao.
She's not married yet, where is the master's wife from?
But when I thought about it later, I realized that the old Taoist priest must not be able to keep his mouth open. Now he is busy with sharpening swords. It is rare for him to have peace of mind in his ears. If he can get peace of mind in his ears at a small loss, it is not a bad deal.
The three of them were walking on flat ground underwater, just like the legendary Lord Shui De, with relaxed expressions on their faces. At this time, several fork-opening caves appeared in front of them. A large number of bubbles were gushing out from those fork-opening caves, and there was a turbulence.
Water gushes outward.
Those caves seem to be connected to the underground palace.
The river water flowing into the underground palace is flowing out again from here and rejoining the underground river.
The bubbles in the cave were churning faster and faster, as if the water flow suddenly accelerated a lot. Because the underground river environment was claustrophobic and there was not enough lighting to see the environment inside the cave clearly, the three of them were caught off guard when they first arrived at the entrance of the cave.
, a large number of white figures swam quickly with the fierce current.
The huge impact knocked the three people away at once.
Only then did I finally see clearly that those white figures were all stone figurines. They were the densely packed stone figurines that filled the entire riverbed in the underground river of Xiatingxuan Palace.
Jin An's expression changed.
Once these stone figurines were out of trouble, they all came to visit with resentment.
But a closer look revealed that the stone figurines still remained motionless. They did not swim out on their own, but were washed out by the water flowing into the underground palace.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he found that one person was missing from the team after being dispersed, and the old Taoist priest was missing. With the help of the divine light of the divine treasure under the water, he searched calmly and finally found the old Taoist priest.
He saw countless stone figurines piled on top of the old Taoist priest, burying the old Taoist priest under the water, and more and more stone figurines were pouring out from several caves, trying to bury the old Taoist priest completely.
Under water.
Jin An and Jiejian just planned to dive down to rescue the old Taoist priest, but they were overwhelmed by the large number of stone figurines rushing out of the cave with the current. They rushed further and further away, and they were about to lose sight of the old Taoist priest.
Those stone figurines were obviously dead objects, just cold stone figures, but they seemed to collectively consciously stand in front of Jin An, preventing him from saving the old Taoist priest.
When he used the Imperial Water Talisman to control the rapid flow of water, separated the stone figurines, and rushed in the direction in which the old Taoist priest disappeared in his memory, he saw that the old Taoist priest had escaped from trouble and was using the Imperial Water Talisman to split the waterway and quickly float up.
There were so many stone figurines in the waters here that Jin An had no time to ask the old Taoist priest how he got out of trouble. The three of them used the water-avoiding ability of the water talisman to escape to the outer water first to avoid being attacked by those weird stone figurines again.
Tie it up.
After completely leaving the water with the stone figurines, the three of them looked back and saw that the stone figurines were sinking after being washed out of the cave by the turbulent water due to their heavy weight.
It seems like hundreds of pale-skinned corpses are sinking into the water, and the scene is spectacular.
Only then did Jin An ask the old Taoist priest how he got out of trouble: "Old Taoist, Jiejian and I just saw you surrounded by many stone figurines and buried under the water. How did you break free from those heavy and numerous stone figurines?"
Stone man’s?”
The old Taoist priest said with lingering fear: "Little brother, it turns out that the sixth person who arrived at Xuan Palace before us and has been hiding on the beam of Xuan Palace is Zong Ren, who is pretending to be a coffin bearer!"
"If Zong Ren hadn't rushed down to save Lao Dao at all costs, Lao Dao and I would have been dragged down by those stone men, and I would have suffered a lot!"
Zongren?
He rescued you?
The old Taoist priest said with certainty: "Yes, it's the uncle Zongren who once hung out with the Jiang family in Wuzhou Prefecture and almost framed us and sent us to jail."
This matter surprised Jin An, so he confirmed it three times. The old Taoist priest said with certainty: "Although the situation was critical just now, I have the imperial water talisman to protect me, so I have been calm and not panicked. I will never get it wrong."
, it’s the old Taoist me who Zong Ren came to rescue.”
"In order to save Lao Dao, he untied the wooden coffin he had been carrying on his back. After he rescued Lao Dao, he left in a hurry to find his lost wooden coffin."
"Why should Zong Ren help us? Logically speaking, he is greedy and selfish. He would even kill his own uncle for the Luo Geng Jade Plate fragment. He is the kind of murderer who kills without blinking an eye. He can't be so kind-hearted to save talents." Jin An said faintly.
I felt that I had caught some important clue, but the inspiration passed in the blink of an eye like an electric spark and I didn't catch it in time.
The old Taoist priest also shook his head in confusion. Zong Ren rescued him, which shocked him so much that when he came to his senses and asked why he saved him, the person was gone.
Since this matter can't be figured out for the time being, Jin An plans not to think about it for now and talk about it later. The most important thing now is to escape first.
The current of the underground river is getting faster and faster. If the three of them hadn't used the water talisman that had the effect of avoiding water, they would have been washed away by the countless fast currents in this undercurrent. Just like Xu Anping and Qianshi Monk were washed away.
Didn't meet him along the way.
No one knew how far this underground river was. As the atmosphere of the underground river suddenly dropped, suddenly.
The imperial water talismans on the three people began to burn, and the burning speed was still accelerating. In a few dozen breaths, the imperial water talismans on the old Taoist priest and Xiejian were completely burned out.
The ashes after the yellow talisman burned fell off the body.
He was swept away by the swift current and disappeared without a trace.
Then, the divine treasures on the two of them began to overflow with divine light, protecting them from being eroded by the cold and yin energy in the dark river.
Jin An's face changed, and he quickly realized: "We have left the blessed land of five-color soil and left the blessing of five-color soil. Now we are in the dangerous sinister rivers in the blessed land of cave heaven that can fall into human bodies, three souls and seven souls!"
