Seeing him vomiting blood, Huang Rong hurriedly stepped forward.
In the dust that filled the sky, Chen Xuan fell to his knees on the ground, and the blood from his mouth could not stop flowing out.
Huang Rong was panicked and anxious, but for a moment she lost her sense of proportion.
Although Chen Xuan's martial arts is strong, human strength always has its limits.
This big stone ball weighed at least ten thousand kilograms. He used his heavy palms to smash the stone ball into powder.
Both the internal force lost and the force of the recoil are far beyond the imagination of ordinary martial arts masters.
Huang Rong knew in her heart that he sacrificed his life for her own sake, and she felt even more guilty when he ended up like this.
Perhaps because he felt her presence beside him, Chen Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, said with a trembling voice.
"...Rong'er."
If he had said this normally, Huang Rong would have given him a slap in the face, but now she couldn't do it.
Chen Xuan tremblingly reached out and touched Huang Rong's cheek, with indescribable nostalgia in his eyes.
Huang Rong's eyes were filled with tears for a moment and she couldn't even speak.
This parting of life and death is really touching.
But before Huang Rong could cry, she suddenly lowered her head and glanced at Chen Xuan's hand.
He clearly said he was touching her face, but at some point his hand actually touched her chest.
Huang Rong said with a look of astonishment.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help myself."
"Shameless little thief!"
Huang Rong was so embarrassed that she pressed Chen Xuan's head and knocked her head three times "bang bang bang" by shining the light on the bluestone on the ground.
Chen Xuan finally took a breath and almost didn't get killed by her.
But despite joking, Huang Rong couldn't help but marvel when she saw him staggering up and wiping the blood on his mouth.
"Are you okay?"
"good."
Chen Xuan took a breath and looked around.
The reason why he vomited blood just now.
Firstly, it was because the internal energy that exploded in a short period of time was too strong, and the meridians throughout the body could not bear it.
Furthermore, because he had to block the impact of the 10,000-kilogram stone ball, his internal organs were shocked.
The injury is simply not too serious, and it will get better after a while.
The most important thing now is to find Xiao Zhao, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this secret passage with many traps.
Huang Rong saw him looking around and guessed what he was thinking, and said in a deep voice.
"The girl should have used the mechanism in this secret passage to escape. It is impossible for her to suddenly disappear in a short period of time just by relying on Qinggong and Shenfa."
"organ?"
After her reminder, Chen Xuan suddenly lowered his head and glanced at the stone slab on which he had just kowtowed.
Huang Rong saw this and said curiously.
"Is there something wrong with this slate?"
"No, I was thinking about how you should handle this matter when you asked me to kowtow three times just now."
"You still want to settle accounts with me? I want to settle accounts with you, a little thief, about what happened just now!"
Huang Rong glared at him angrily and wanted to scold him, but she didn't have the nerve to speak out about the misunderstanding just now.
Seeing her making such a fuss, Chen Xuan suddenly stepped on the stone slab on the ground without warning.
There was only a "click" sound, and the stone slab shattered, revealing a square pothole!
"Is there really a secret passage?!" Huang Rong was startled and hurriedly went over to check it out.
This secret passage is not too big, about five feet square, and about three meters deep. It is obvious that there is still light in the lower secret passage.
It seems that Xiao Zhao just used this secret passage to fall directly, and then disappeared without a trace in front of the two of them.
Huang Rong was about to jump down, but Chen Xuan held her back.
"I'd better go down first."
"you……"
Huang Rong saw that there was still blood on the corner of his mouth and asked subconsciously.
"Little thief, why are you protecting me like this?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
Chen Xuan pretended to be a dandy and looked Huang Rong up and down, saying that he was frivolous, but Huang Rong remained silent.
Seeing this posture, Chen Xuan knew something was going to happen and hurriedly jumped down the secret passage.
Based on his understanding of Huang Rong, it was usually fine when she was angry.
What I'm afraid of is that if she suddenly calms down and becomes a little more rational, she will most likely be thinking about her brother Jing at this time.
Although the special option rewarded a large amount of favorability, Huang Rong only recognized his martial arts attainments.
If you want to get close to the grace of this beauty, you still have a long way to go.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xuan jumped off the secret passage with his front legs, Huang Rong followed him with his back legs.
But looking at her pretty face, which was as cold as frost, it was obvious that she was just showing off.
Chen Xuan also knew full well that he would not mess with her anymore, so he frowned and groped forward in the secret passage.
It can be seen that this secret passage has not had any trace of outsiders stepping on it for a long time. There are fine water droplets on the surrounding walls, and even green-black moss has grown on the walls.
Most of the whale oil torches lighting up both sides of the wall were completely decayed, making the secret passage dark and gloomy.
Chen Xuan walked tentatively for a while, worrying whether he had gone the wrong way.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I heard a voice coming from not far away.
Huang Rong followed him and asked when he saw him stop.
"What's going on?"
"The sound of someone speaking."
"Speaking voice?"
Huang Rong frowned for a moment, and while listening quietly, she quickly realized that something was wrong.
"The sound came from behind the wall. There should be a dark room behind the wall."
"darkroom?"
Chen Xuan looked around.
"If it's a dark room, that would be a problem. We don't know the mechanism to open the door, so we can't get in at all."
"It's not that troublesome. Since we can hear the sound, it means that the dark room is not completely closed. At least there are air holes or obvious gaps near us."
I have to say that this pretty Huangrong does have two brushes.
Now that she is serious, she has indeed dumped Chen Xuan.
After her analysis, she quickly found a hidden secret compartment. Unfortunately, the secret compartment was not a mechanism to open the secret room, but a small ventilation hole.
Judging from the position of the air hole, the secret room is right next door to the two of them.
Although the approximate location was found, the specific mechanism was never found.
Chen Xuan had no idea for a moment and could only ask.
"What to do next?"
Huang Rong didn't answer, she just leaned close to the blowhole and listened tentatively for a while.
"There should be two people in the secret room, a man and a woman. Although I can't hear what they are saying specifically, they seem to know each other."
"Get out of the way and let me listen."
Chen Xuan pushed Huang Rong and leaned over to listen carefully.
His martial arts are higher, his senses are more acute, and he can even vaguely hear the conversation in the secret room below.
It's just that this cave was built with painstaking efforts by the Ming Cult.
If nothing else, at least these stones are real materials and very thick.
Chen Xuan listened to a few words and only vaguely heard a few key words.
The leader of the Ming Cult...Yang Dingtian...the secret book of mental methods...Cheng Kun...
While Chen Xuan was subconsciously listening carefully, he unconsciously moved forward a few steps.
Unexpectedly, in this blink of an eye, Huang Rong didn't get up at all.
He was moving around so much that he barely managed to get close enough to kiss her.
Chen Xuan suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and just wanted to get up.
Unexpectedly, Huang Rong had a frosty face and said coldly.
"Keep pretending for me!"
"Huang Nuxia, you are boring now. Why did I just pretend?"
Chen Xuangang wanted to explain, but Huang Rong just sneered, and the coldness in her eyes could not be concealed.
If this happened before, Chen Xuan would scratch his head and forget it.
It just happened that he had risked his life to save her life just now, and now she dared to show off.
Chen Xuan was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh at himself and cheered repeatedly.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly hugged Huang Rong in his arms.
Huang Rong was so surprised that she forgot to fight back for a moment.
Chen Xuan hugged her, took a few mouthfuls without saying anything, and said coldly.
"I treat you kindly, but you still show off to me! Since you don't drink the toast and drink it as a penalty, don't blame me for being rude!"
"You dare!"
Huang Rong's pretty face turned cold, and she looked straight at Chen Xuan with her bright eyes.
She didn't make any trick of gritting her teeth and committing suicide, she just stared at Chen Xuan like this.
Chen Xuan said that his head was hot and he was very angry, but when he really wanted to take action, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although he has acquired peerless martial arts skills, he is still in this turbulent world.
Logically speaking, he should be free to choose between right and wrong, right and evil.
However, Chen Xuan has been abiding by the law and keeping his own rules for more than 20 years. Now that he really wants to turn into a demonic fanatic, he still has a little psychological shadow.
Especially the pretty Huang Rong who doesn't cry or make trouble now, but is holding back her heart.
As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not bite.
The more indifferent Huang Rong was, the more guilty Chen Xuan felt, fearing that she would retaliate in the future.
After reluctantly kissing her twice, he finally lost the urge and just said.
"That's all, you don't have to show off to me. After leaving Guangmingding, I will let you go. From now on, you and I will not owe each other anything."
After saying this, Chen Xuan let go of his hand indifferently and turned his head to look at the surrounding walls.
Huang Rong glanced at his back bitterly, saying that she felt hatred in her heart, but somehow she felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
This way.
Chen Xuan knocked on the surrounding walls. In fact, he had just noticed something wrong with the moss in the gaps in the wall.
After all, this place is in disrepair and moss has grown in many places.
But moss is not rootless duckweed. It always needs a place to stay.
In other words, the deeper the gap in the wall, the denser the moss will gather.
Chen Xuan knocked on one of the stone walls. As expected, the muffled sound coming from behind the stone wall was not dull.
He checked it carefully and thought to himself.
"There is so much moss around this stone wall, and the entire stone wall is so thick. Could it be that this is a hidden door left intentionally?"
Generally, when looking for a secret room, you will knock on the wall to look for hollow partitions.
This stone wall is so thick that someone obviously deliberately disturbed the audience.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan raised his hand to gather strength and blasted out with a fierce palm!
There was only a muffled sound of "bang", and a crack opened in the stone slab!
When one palm failed, another one came, and Chen Xuan used his backhand to strike again. The powerful roar of his inner energy actually caused his shirt to split open, revealing his strong muscles.
However, upon closer inspection, Chen Xuan's shoulder and back joints were obviously a little blue and purple, which was obviously an internal injury caused by the gravel ball before.
Now that he was bombarding the stone wall repeatedly like this, his body suffered excessive load and the wear and tear was also huge.
At this moment, there was only a mechanical "click" sound.
There seemed to be some mechanism sounding in the dark. Chen Xuan heard the sound and looked around, only to find that Huang Rong had already found the mechanism that opened the secret room.
The two looked at each other, Huang Rong was obviously still upset, and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan slapped her twice just as his blood was rising. He quickly chased after her and pulled her into his arms.
With their eyes facing each other, Huang Rong bit her teeth and said bitterly.
"let go!"
Chen Xuan smiled jokingly, since he had already lost his face, how could he pretend to be so?
Without any explanation at that moment, he hugged her and kissed her fiercely.
