Fairy cage

After successfully hunting the seventh-grade winged lizard, the remaining two men had run out of elixirs, talismans, and other items in their bags, so they no longer stayed in the wilderness.

However, what was different from what they originally imagined was that they did not cross the entire Heihe River Basin and go straight to Qianjun, nor did they turn around and return to Heishui Town to take a boat. Instead, they continued to trek for a while in the barren mountains and ridges to get here. Into the town of Fangdao.

This Fang Dao Town is located in a valley, which is filled with reddish-brown ore. The entire Dao Town is different from ordinary towns. It is not located on the surface of the valley, but in the ground.

It is called "Red Valley Grotto". In order to mine, Daozhen digs down one level, and the whole town will sink down one level.

According to the description by the Taoist boy in Honggu Grottoes, the town has been established for more than a hundred years.

All the buildings and activity areas in the entire town have long since sunk deep into the ground and cannot see the light of day. Even the mortals living in the Red Valley Cave have not seen the sun for several generations. Their skin becomes pale, their eyes become larger, and they are afraid of light.

Basically, only the Taoist boys who fell here from the outside have seen and believed in the existence of the sun.

In an underground river in Honggu Cave.

Yu Lie, wearing a dark Taoist robe, stood on the edge of the underground river, quietly waiting for something. Beside him, She Shuangbai stood quietly with her head bowed, wearing a dark cloak on her head.

A man with a smile on his face came close to Yu Lie and said:

"Taoist Master, don't be anxious! It's still daytime outside, and the teams taking the trade road in our town will only set off after the sun has set. I have sent people to urge them to set off as soon as the sun sets. Don't do it. It delayed the Taoist priest’s schedule.”

Yu Lie nodded when he heard the words and said casually: "Nothing, I am just taking a boat with a smooth wind, so fellow Taoists don't need to worry."

"What, what are you talking about?" The Taoist boy laughed, nodded and bowed, and kept bowing, for fear of neglecting the rest of the group.

The remaining two people were currently in front of the underground river passage outside Honggu Cave Road Town.

Yu Lie has now condensed the Taoism, and with his identity certificate, he can naturally go in and out of Tao towns and counties in various places at will, without worrying about interrogation.

Because they didn’t want to turn back to Blackwater Town, and didn’t want to have to go through the wilderness again, Yu Lie and She Shuangbai discussed it briefly and rushed to the edge of the Black River Basin, which belonged to the Honggu Cave on the other side.

In every town, no matter how remote and rural it is, there will always be caravans and trade routes leading to other places, but the intervals and frequency vary depending on the degree of remoteness of each place.

The two of them came here just to catch a boat from here and rush to Diive County with the caravan from Daozhen.

And because his identity was a bit inappropriate after all, he didn’t want to get involved with the Taoist disciples in Honggu Cave, lest they would have bad thoughts.

Although Yu Lie and the two entered the territory of Honggu Cave, they did not set foot in the old town where the other party had been running for more than a hundred years. They just waited by the underground river.

The flattering Taoist boy responsible for entertaining Yu Lie paused beside Yu Lie, suddenly lowered his voice, came close to Yu Lie, and said:

"Taoist Master, it's really boring to just wait here. Why don't you call a few girls over to relieve your boredom. If you think the taste is acceptable, you can also bring them with you. There are also people along the way who can With you.”

The other party muttered: "I don't think the little Taoist boy you brought with you seems to be a wise man. The sisters in our town can keep it to your satisfaction. And it doesn't cost you any money, as long as they can borrow it from you If you go out of town and walk around the city, you will be happy, and you will be more enthusiastic than you spent the money."

As the guy spoke, a cold gaze quietly stared at him. If he were still in the wild at this moment, I'm afraid this guy would have fallen to the ground.

When Yu Lie heard this, he also burst into laughter. He turned to look at the silent She Shuangbai and shook his head slightly.

When the flattering Taoist boy saw this, his eyes brightened slightly, thinking that Yu Lie was a Taoist boy who was not very satisfied with him, so he immediately said, "Okay! Xiaodao will arrange it for you right now... eh."

But before the other party finished speaking, Yu Lie flicked his sleeves and said lightly: "Go down, I want to be quiet."

The flattering boy choked on his words. He looked at Yu Lie and wanted to say something else.

But when Yu Lie saw that the other party hadn't moved yet, he turned to look at him and snorted: "Huh?"

Infuriating Qi surged through Yu Lie's body, and a sense of panic that he was being targeted by a predator immediately rose up all over the flattering Taoist boy, making the hairs on the Taoist boy's back stand up.

The guy quickly lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and shouted: "Yes, yes." He walked away quickly in a small step.

Yu Lie stood there, looking at the Honggu Cave Taoist boy who was leaving, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

When the person on the other side walked away, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in his ear:

"Why, Brother Yu is regretting the lack of beauty?"

The person who spoke was none other than She Shuangbai.

The other party lowered her head and her face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak. Although her appearance was invisible, she was missing the pale mask she used to have. Her voice was light and her body was too thin. In addition, some of her behavior Her mannerisms could still make people recognize her as a woman.

She Shuangbai's expressionless face was unusual, but she seemed to be warning:

"Brother Yu, things like this happen all the time. You and I are just walking together. There is no need or need to care too much about Pindao's identity."

Yu Lie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tasted a few hints of the other party's intention to let him recognize the boundaries and not think too much.

However, there was also a hint of amusement in Yu Lie's eyes,

He turned sideways, looked at the figure of the flattering Taoist boy, and said with emotion: "This person is older than you and me. He can take care of the business road leading to Qian County from here, and he can also greet the female Taoist boys here at will. In terms of cultivation, he is also a high-ranking Taoist boy, and he is a real local snake."

"Pindao is sighing with emotion. At first, I could only live by relying on people like him. At most, I could only borrow the prestige of others and gain their courtesy by pretending to be powerful. But now, Pindao has only been here for a few hours. There are people like this who come to flatter you, and you can't even bear a cold snort from me." Yu Lie said, and then said:

"The changes in the world are really wonderful."

She Shuangbai heard this and was slightly startled. She glanced at the old Taoist boy who was leaving and said nonchalantly:

"Brother Yu is overthinking. You and I are not the same kind of people as these Taoist boys. Most of those who ended up in such a remote town were resigned to their fate, rather than coming here to gain the opportunity to become enlightened."

After hearing this, Yu Lie withdrew his gaze and chuckled in a low voice: "Hey, are you just leaving it to fate..."

Whether small people come to small places, or small places create small people, is a question worth talking about.

However, Yu Lie did not talk too much to She Shuangbai. Instead, he changed the subject and suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist She, do you really don't need Pindao to help you kill a seventh-grade spirit monster in the wild to help you gather enough dragon energy to condense the Taoist barrel?"

The two of them were from the same group of Taoist boys in Blackwater Town who were awarded fake urns. If Yu Lie could kill the seventh-grade exotic lizard, the other party could naturally do the same.

"We are still in the Black River Basin right now, and there is a good chance to find an exotic lizard. If we completely leave the Heihe River Basin, or delay for the first half of the year, the creatures in the lizard world may be completely integrated, and we will never have this chance again."

But She Shuangbai shook her head: "No need to trouble Brother Yu."

She paused, glanced at the Honggu Cave a few times, and said:

"Besides, if we go hunting again, you and I will have to replenish some spell elixirs in Fangdao Town. This will definitely not escape the eyes of the Taoist disciples here, and it may cause trouble and increase the number of incidents."

Seeing that the other party expressed his denial again and gave an excuse, Yu Lie stopped talking.

But he was thinking secretly in his heart:

"Condensing Taoist treasures in the wild is a good opportunity for me to 're-settlement', but it may not be a good opportunity for this fellow Taoist She... Her origins are probably higher than those of the natives in Qianzhou Taoist City. They are even more precious."

In a cave a thousand feet away from where the two of them were, there were two figures standing in the cave, watching them secretly.

"A young Taoist disciple and a high-ranking Taoist boy? These two are probably the Taoist boys who escaped from Blackwater Town. I heard that they have good things in mind... Do you want to take action?"

Another person among them frowned secretly and said:

"Forget it, even if it is, one of these two people has been promoted to the eighth level, and the good things are probably almost used. And I think that the thin guy is vaguely good, and there may be true energy in his body."

"Seriously? Even if that person has been promoted to the eighth level, she is just a new Taoist disciple. What method can she use to hide her cultivation?"

After several murmurings, the two figures finally sighed softly: "That's all."

"That's right. It's better not to cause more trouble, lest you lose everything and lose the reputation of this town."

After speaking, the two people in the cave called a Taoist boy over and gave some instructions below.

Soon, after only a cup of tea, a group of people walked out.

This pair of people were playing and playing, and they looked extremely festive, as if they were holding a banquet. Most of the people accompanying them had pale faces, and looked like paper figures, with large black pupils in their eyes.

After arriving in front of Yu Lie and the other two, someone immediately asked Yu Lie for instructions and respectfully invited them to accompany them.

The next moment, there were paper money and talismans, like snowflakes, scattered in the underground river.

The surface of the river, which was originally calm, suddenly fluctuated, as if a giant object was rolling in it. A thick black shadow moved under the water, and a huge mouth was slowly raised and opened. The inside was extremely scarlet and filled with sharp teeth like chrysanthemums.

A long tongue protruded from the giant creature's mouth. It was spread on the ground like a carpet, extending from the river to the river bank, seeming to invite people on the river bank to walk up and enter its belly.

"The river god is opening the door!"

The sound of blowing sounded again, and the Honggu Cave Taoists who were standing next to Yu Lie and the two boldly walked towards the belly of the giant.

At this time, Yu Lie was standing on the bank of the river. He looked up at the giant thing and found that it was something like an earthworm. Its body was segment by segment. After someone walked into its belly, it was still quiet. Standing on the river bank.

Suddenly, the flattering Taoist boy who walked away just now came to Yu Lie again and carefully explained to Yu Lie:

"Taoist Master, this is the 'boat' used by our town on the trade route. It is an earthworm and a sandworm left behind by the first town leader. It can break mountains and rocks, and it can also hide in muddy rivers. Most importantly, it can Carrying cargo and people, it can safely pass through barren mountains and ridges.”

Seeing the alert look on Yu Lie's face and Yu Lie's delay in moving, the other party smiled and said:

"Taoist Master, you may not think that it looks strange and ferocious, but the first town leader specially invited this earthworm to take back the priesthood and make it the river god! Well, this is the underground river."

"River God?" Yu Lie heard the two words from the flattering Taoist boy's mouth, and the energy in his body immediately stirred. He frowned and looked at the giant insect.

As expected, a pale golden talisman was floating above the earthworm's head, proving the other party's identity.

Yu Lie sensed the dragon energy around him through his Taoist temple. Although he couldn't learn anything more, he found that this earthworm and sandworm was favored by the dragon energy. It seemed that the other party was indeed included in the dragon energy of the Taoist court. In the system, he is a small god.

Yu Lie raised his hand to the flattering Taoist boy and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist."

Then he walked towards the giant creature's mouth full of sharp teeth, got into the car and boarded the ship.

She Shuangbai also followed Yu Lie calmly and stepped into the belly of the giant beast.

With the dragon energy and the divine urn as proof, most of the doubts in the two people's hearts had disappeared, and they reluctantly believed that this big guy would not chew up and digest everyone halfway.

Moreover, the two of them now have true energy in their bodies. If they really fight for their lives in each other's stomach, this earthworm and sandworm may be unlucky.

Embarkation continues at the riverside.

Like a human sacrifice, the earthworm's mouthparts wriggled wider and wider, finally reaching the point where it could swallow two elephants. After swallowing dozens of people and some livestock, it just He closed his mouthparts and sank into the water gurglingly, bubbling constantly.

After stepping into the belly of the sandworm, the smell of humans and animals inside was mixed and chaotic.

But what surprised Yu Lie was that as he continued to walk inside, a slightly clean insect section appeared. The flesh wall on the top was also inlaid with fluorite, and the environment was not so dark.

There were even a few sarcomas appearing in Yu Lie's eyes, like seats.

Someone called Yu Lie: "Taoist Priest, please take a seat quickly! Lord River God is about to leave."

As soon as Yu Lie and others sat down, they felt their bodies begin to sway and turn upside down, as if they had fallen into a rolling barrel, which was uncomfortable.

A burst of noisy sounds suddenly rang out from the sandworm's body, with screams and curses coming up again and again.

"Who touched my butt?"

"Hey! Move your butt away, you're sitting on my head."

Yu Lie was now at the eighth level, so naturally he would not be disturbed by the mere shaking. When he heard the noise, he suddenly thought of the crowded cabin that sent him to Blackwater Town.

He was laughing dumbly, sitting peacefully on the sarcoid, experiencing the unique yet similar sandworm boat.

Inadvertently, Yu Lie glanced at She Shuangbai next to him and found that the other person's expression was very surprised.

The female Taoist looked east and west, frowning and touching the flesh wall on one side, feeling disgusted and curious at the same time. Compared with the rest of the group, she seemed even more out of place with the people around her.

Yu Lie realized:

"It seems that this is the last part of the journey. When we get off the boat and leave the insect, it's when we part ways..."
