Chapter 458 Corridor and Stone Chamber

Following Ling Yi's footsteps, Dongfang Mo and his party walked forward in this mountain gate that had been abandoned for many years.

As he walked along the winding path, he found that the towering ancient trees on both sides were all withered, and many of them were cut off in the middle, and the deep pits and ravines left by various fierce fighting techniques could be seen faintly all around. .

The three of Dongfang Mo traveled for two hours and came all the way. Through many clues, he could vaguely see the prosperity of this place back then.

When passing by a deep sandy field, Ling Yi finally stopped here and watched for a long time.This used to be a big lake with strong aura, and he used to ride a boat here in the past, but now the big lake, even the lake water has all dried up, without a trace of life.

However, in the middle of the lake, there is still a pavilion with a height of seven to eight feet.It's just that the rubble on the gazebo is scattered, and the stone pillars are toppled, which is already dilapidated.

After Ling Yi pondered for a moment, he let go of Xia Qingyi's support and walked towards the gazebo in the center of the lake.When he came to the gazebo, he jumped up and stood in the air, and then waved his hand at the dilapidated gazebo.

"call!"

A gust of wind blew up the broken tiles and broken eaves on the gazebo, and all the dust was blown away, revealing the octagonal pavilion.

With a flash of Ling Yi's figure, he stood in the middle of the pavilion.The two Dongfang Mo naturally followed his steps, came to the pavilion, and stood behind him.

At this time, Ling Yi looked at a certain position in the center of the pavilion with his eyes like lightning.

Wherever he looked, if he looked carefully, he would find a gap that was hard to see with the naked eye.

The moment he saw the gap, Ling Yi slammed down the three-foot green blade in his hand.

"Wow!"

With the sound of ear-piercing rubbing, I saw the three-foot green blade in his hand sinking into the gap with perfect fit.

Until everything below the hilt disappeared, Ling Yi suddenly turned his wrist.

"Kakkaka!"

There was a sound of opening the mechanism.

However, after seven or eight breaths, Dongfang Mo found strangely that there was still no change in his surroundings.

"Rumble!"

Just when he was in doubt, he suddenly felt a shaking under his feet.

Seeing the dilapidated octagonal pavilion, a layer of stellar energy suddenly burst out from the edge, enveloping the entire pavilion and the three of them.

When Dongfang Mo was astonished, the pavilion where the three of them were located suddenly began to fall.

Dongfang Mo's expression changed slightly, and at the critical moment, he looked up at the sky above his head.

"Push!"

A sound of flapping wings sounded, and the shadow easily penetrated the layer of stellar energy, and submerged into the shadow under his feet.

Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Mo felt his eyes go dark, and with the rumbling sound, the three of them continued to sink down on the pavilion.

In this way, about two sticks of incense passed, and the surrounding vibrations finally gradually weakened. It didn't take long for the three of them to feel their feet stop, and the sinking stopped.

"Wow!"

There was another sound of rubbing, and Ling Yi slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand.After standing up straight, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

It fell with a "snap".

"Puff puff……"

In front of the three of them, a row of candles suddenly lit up from near to far, illuminating a long corridor.

The corridor is about three feet high and one foot wide, all made of a kind of black stone.

To Dongfang Mo's surprise, except for a protruding candle, there were no spiritual patterns engraved on the surface of these stones.

Ling Yi raised his footsteps and walked forward without hesitation.In the long corridor, only the sound of his lonely footsteps remained.

Xia Qingyi was naturally the first to follow.

Dongfang Mo's expression became more and more vigilant, but when he got here, he already had no way out.After thinking for a moment, he finally walked forward without haste, but always kept a distance of about Zhang Xu behind the two of them.

It's just that after walking a hundred feet in the corridor, in front of the three of them, there suddenly appeared three identical fork roads that were also lit with candles.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo suddenly remembered the underground labyrinth Ling Yi had told him that day.

Just as he was thinking secretly, Ling Yi was already heading towards the leftmost passage.Dongfang Mo and Xia Qingyi naturally had no other choice, they still followed his steps closely.

When the three of them traveled another hundred feet in the leftmost corridor, three identical forks appeared in front of them.

This time, Ling Yi chose the corridor in the middle and continued on.

So back and forth, the three experienced a total of ninety-nine and 81 choices.

What's worth mentioning is that the further you get to the back, the longer it takes Ling Yi to think about which corridor to enter.Especially in the last few times, he spent more than an hour in contemplation each time, as if he was facing a difficult choice.

Dongfang Mo's thoughts turned rapidly, he guessed that if he went the wrong way, there might be some kind of consequences that even Ling Yi could not recover.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay for so long. With this time, it would have been enough to walk through the other two corridors one by one.

But of course he wouldn't make a sound to disturb him, but while taking notes of the road along the way, his expression became more and more tense.

Just like that, another few hours passed.When the three of them passed through a corridor again and walked a hundred feet forward, what appeared in front of them this time was a heavy stone door.

Seeing this door, Ling Yi let out a long breath, the secret passage finally came to an end.And along the way, he was also a little tired.

At this time, he came to the front, put his hands on the cold stone door, and pushed hard under the agitation of mana.

The heavy stone door slid and made a muffled sound, which seemed a bit harsh in the silence.

When the stone door was completely opened, a beam of dim yellow light poured out from it.

As soon as Ling Yi lifted his footsteps, his figure was submerged in the yellow light.

When Dongfang Mo followed Xia Qingyi's footsteps and stepped into the stone gate, he was surprised to find that this place turned out to be a stone room.

The stone chamber is not big, more than ten feet long and wide, and five feet high, presenting a square shape as a whole.

To Dongfang Mo's delight, there was indeed an octagonal formation in the middle of the stone chamber.It's just that the formation is now dim and covered with dust, which is obviously the result of years of dust.

What attracted his attention even more was that right in front of the stone room, there was a simple desk with a wooden box on it.

The moment Dongfang Mo saw the wooden box, he felt familiar.This object seems to be seven or eight points similar to the thousand case that Gusu Wan'er brought him back then to hold the long-growing beard.The thousands of chassis are still in his storage bag, but in this situation, it is not easy for him to compare them.

When Ling Yi saw the wooden box, his body trembled suddenly, and a complex look appeared in his eyes, with faint tears flickering.

It was because of this thing that his Ling family suffered the catastrophe of Nanyang Mountain. Seeing it now, he naturally felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

Ling Yi bypassed the formation and walked forward, and when he came to the desks, he waved his hand gently, and a gust of wind blew away the dust on the desks.

At this time, the wooden box also returned to its original light blue color.

Ling Yi stretched out his hand to grab it, and easily took the two-foot-long wooden box in his hand.Almost without thinking too much, his arm shook, turned into two afterimages, and slapped the wooden box like lightning.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of clicking and clicking.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Mo finally confirmed that this wooden box should be a treasure like Qian Chassis.It's just that he was a little strange. Back then, Gusu Wan'er had boasted that only her Gusu family could make thousands of chassis, so why did it appear here?

"Kata!"

After about seven or eight breaths, Ling Yi finally paused, and put the two-foot-long wooden box in his palm. At this time, he had already opened the object in his unique way, and he could faintly see the wooden box. A shallow gap.

Just as Ling Yi was about to open the wooden box, Dongfang Mo also looked at him intently, wanting to see what treasure was in the box.At this moment, his ears trembled suddenly.

"call……"

He seemed to hear a faint breathing sound.

"Wait!"

In just this moment, Dongfang Mo's expression changed drastically, and he wondered if there was a fourth person here.Thinking of this, he immediately stopped Ling Yi's movements.

"Shh!"

However, as soon as his words fell, a black shadow rushed towards Ling Yi from a corner not far from the case.

Before getting close, a dry palm wrapped in black leather stretched out and grabbed the light blue wooden box in Ling Yi's hand.

"Humph!"

Ling Yi's reaction could not be described as unpleasant. At the critical moment, his right hand flickered, and a cyan sword glow instantly cut through the dim stone room, and slashed towards the withered palm.

"Chong!"

The three-foot green blade seemed to have been chopped on a fine steel stone, even splitting out several sparks.

"Boom!"

Ling Yi's figure took three steps back, and finally stepped on his feet suddenly, and finally stood firm.

And that black shadow withstood a huge force, and then stood there indifferently.

"Jie Jie... how did you find me?"

A hoarse mulberry sound came, echoing in the narrow stone room.

Dongfang Mo looked straight ahead, and saw a skinny figure dressed in a large black robe, who was indistinguishable from male to female, standing there.

The man's hair was disheveled, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his cloudy eyes were staring at him.

Hearing this person's words, Dongfang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not answer his intention.

"who are you?"

Ling also felt that the right hand holding the sword was now numb, and the whole arm was trembling slightly. With just one blow, he could tell that this person must be a cultivator in the Infant Transformation Realm.

"Heaven pays off, I finally waited for you, the remnant of the Ling family. Guess who this old man is." The dry figure was not angry at Dongfang Mo's silence, and turned to look at Ling Yi and joked.

"Your Excellency should be from Nanyang Mountain." Ling Yi looked cold.

"You're not stupid." The withered figure nodded.

"How did you find this place?" Ling Yi asked again.Know the maze here, take one wrong step and you will get lost.And there are many traps in it, even if you are at the Nascent Transformation Realm, if you touch the traps, you will not be able to retreat completely.But those below the Infant Transformation Realm are certain to die.Therefore, it is by no means that anyone can walk in by luck.

"Although your Ling family's labyrinth formation is amazing, but this kind of formation, as long as a few more people die, how can it be impossible to get in." The dry figure sneered.

"The people in Nanyang Mountain are really cruel, not only cruel to outsiders, but also to their own people." Ling Yi's sarcasm was beyond words.

"People don't kill themselves, don't you understand such a simple truth. Come on little guy, I have waited for you for ten years, give me what you have in your hand, and leave you a whole body."

"You think too much." Ling Yi smiled brightly, and then turned his palms over, and was about to put the wooden box into the storage bag.

This person was able to come here, but he didn't take the thousand case, it must be because he couldn't open it.How can ordinary people be able to decipher the things left by the Gusu family in ancient times.That's why he has been waiting for his arrival. In this world, he is the only one who can open this thing.

However, as soon as he moved, he suddenly felt his arm go numb, and saw black spots the size of fingernails appearing on the palm of his hand holding the wooden box.

The black spots condensed and did not disperse, and began to grow two, two to three, spreading from his palm to the entire arm in an instant, and there was a tendency to go towards the whole body.

"Bitter!"

At this moment, Ling Yi looked at the wooden box and his expression changed drastically. He didn't want this person to tamper with the wooden box.

Immediately afterwards, his palm softened, and with a "click", the wooden box fell to the ground.
