It's just that the sound of breathing is really weird, it's as light as if it's about to die, but it's even and rhythmic.

The voice stopped abruptly after taking three breaths lightly and slowly, and there was no new movement.

"Maybe he is the person we are looking for. Why did he suddenly lose his voice? He must be dead?" Xue Xian frowned.

His unlucky two-wheeled vehicle was still outside the door of the bamboo building, and he couldn't move freely at the moment, so he could only sit on the desk and watch.Xuan Min who was beside him didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and walked straight to where Xue Xian pointed.

For some reason, the oil lamp on the table sank to the basement level, and suddenly became much darker. The flame was only a small one, very weak, as if it was about to go out at any time, and naturally it couldn't penetrate the deep darkness of the basement.

Judging from the place where the fire can barely reach, this is a square stone room, the width of which is almost the same as that of the room above, but the light from the flames does not reach the end of the length, so it cannot be seen for a while. Exactly how big is this stone chamber.

Xuan Min's back quickly sank into the darkness where the lights couldn't illuminate, and he always walked quietly, so that at that moment, it seemed as if his whole body was swallowed by the darkness and there was no trace left.

Xue Xian's heart tightened for no reason, it was not panic, after all, he had rarely tasted "panic" in his life.This is more like realizing something weird...

At that moment, the sound of the machine reed suddenly sounded above his head again, with a "hum--".

Xue Xian's eyebrows twitched, and he raised his head suddenly, only to see a huge black shadow covering the originally empty space above his head, and with a "click", it was tightly sewn together and became the new floor of the room above... and The roof of this underground stone chamber.

"..." If it wasn't for Xuan Min's amnesia, Xue Xian really wanted to ask: Is this broken building of yours built to fight against others?Before people go out, the entrance and exit are sealed first. What kind of joke is this?

If he hadn't been concerned that this place belonged to Xuan Min, he would have raised his hand and knocked off the roof that had just been closed!

However, Xue Xian was used to thrilling big scenes in his life, and the single-storey closed roof was not a big deal to him except that it was a bit annoying.Just close it, and it's not too late to think about how to raise the roof to make the movement smaller when the person who should be caught is caught.

So he lazily withdrew his gaze, and looked into the darkness ahead again.

It's just that with the snap of his fingers, he suddenly felt something was wrong, something seemed to be missing...

Yes, it was so quiet that even Shi Zhang's noisy mouth seemed to be closed—no!

What about Shizhang? !

Xue Xian frowned, and quickly scanned around, not even a living thing could be seen in the area where the flames reached, where were the shadows of Shitou Zhang and Lu Nianqi? !

"Vald donkey!" Xue Xian yelled into the dark place ahead, "Shitou Zhang and that kid Lu Nianqi are gone."

For a moment, he even suspected that even Xuan Min had disappeared together.

Fortunately, Xuan Min's usual calm voice came from that dark corner, but what he said couldn't make people calm: "The people hiding here are also gone."

"You didn't find anyone?" Xue Xian frowned even deeper.

While speaking, Xuan Min came out of the darkness in white clothes. He walked back to the table, picked up the oil lamp, and walked back to the corner where Xue Xian heard his breathing.

The flame of the oil lamp was indeed a bit faint, with a lingering gleam of light, following Xuan Min's steps, it illuminated the road ahead bit by bit.The range of light was very small, almost only encircling Xuan Min's feet, and it looked like Xuan Min's monk's robe had been swept to shine.

But the place where Xue Xian was staying was getting darker and darker, gradually becoming pitch black.

In the darkness where he could hardly see his fingers, he saw Xuan Min stopped, moved his hand holding the oil lamp back and forth twice, and took a picture of that piece - that was the top of this stone room, where Xuan Min deliberately Under the reflection, the two corners of the wall were clearly illuminated.

It was literally empty.

Xue Xian's hearing ability has not made any mistakes so far.He can be sure that the previous breathing sound is indeed here, there is absolutely no mistake, and the breath alone sounds like a lingering breath, probably like the flame that Xuan Min is holding, full of signs of exhaustion. .

How could such a person slip away so quickly under the noses of him and Xuan Min?

Just now Xue Xian was still a little uncertain, after all, the ground was sinking too fast, and all his attention was drawn away by the sound of breathing, so that he didn't pay attention to Shitou Zhang and Lu Nianqi at all.He even wondered if the two didn't sink down at all and stayed outside.

However, what has disappeared now is this hidden person...

If there is no ghost in it, then putting a head on the neck will be useless except to make you look taller.

"Someone is pretending to be a ghost in order to avoid disaster." Xue Xian said, lifting his chin at the place where Xuan Min was, "Have you looked at that place carefully? Is there any flaw?"

It is so inconvenient without a two-wheeled chair, and you have to rely on others for everything. Although he never doubts Xuan Min's ability, it is really unpleasant to be stuck in the dark waiting for others to draw conclusions.Xue Xian was an honest person, without even thinking about it, he raised his sleeve and flicked the table below him, and the whole wooden table was suddenly lifted.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Xian landed on Xuan Min's side with a "bang" sound.

There was such a big commotion, but Xue Xian still sat firmly, and when the wind that was holding the table against the corner rushed towards the corner, he raised Xuan Min's sleeves, and Xue Xian, who had landed on the ground, took him away, and the stone room returned to silence. .

Xuan Min held up the lamp, and seemed to be quite speechless to him, but he didn't say much, he just used the lamp to carefully illuminate the corners of the wall and the ground, not letting go of any spiders.

"Here is a drop of blood." Xue Xian pointed to a small dot stuck to the seam in the corner of the wall, and said.

Hearing the words, Xuan Min took a closer look, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and took a photo at the corresponding corner of the wall, "There is also this place."

He raised his hand at Xue Xian, beckoning him to wait for a while, and strode to the corner of the wall on the other side holding the lamp alone, after a glance, he turned his head and said to Xue Xian who was in the darkness: "That man has set up a formation. "

Xue Xian understood: "Sure enough, if you can't run away, you will start pretending to be a ghost. What formation is this?"

He doesn't know as much about magic circles as Xuan Min does. After all, he seldom needs to use them. Naturally, he can't judge what kind of circle it is based on just a few drops of blood and its location. donkey.

"It's not a magic circle that is full of dangers, but it takes a lot of time." Xuan Min walked back holding the lamp.

"It's just such a stone room, there must be nowhere to go. But what is the time-consuming method?" Xue Xian asked with a frown.

"This formation is called Nine Links." Xuan Min put the lamp back on the table and said calmly, "There is no way to break the formation."

Xue Xian: "...What does it mean that there is no way to break the formation? Is it possible that once you come in, you don't want to go out again?"

"Ordinary formations have gates. Although the eight gates are fickle, as long as you find the right one, you can get out of the formation." Xuan Min explained in a low tone: "The Nine Chain Formation has no gates, and it doesn't matter if you are caught. The ability of trapped people varies, this formation is often used to escape from dangerous situations, it can last for an hour, and after an hour, it will be destroyed without attack." Xuan Min said.

"..." Xue Xian laughed angrily, "Come out after shutting down here for an hour, the cooked duck should fly."

He didn't have the patience to waste an hour in this damn place, Xue Xian raised his hand while sneering coldly.

"Wait!" Seeing his appearance, Xuan Min frowned and stopped him.

However, it was still a step too late, and suddenly several streaks of purple and white lights lit up in the small stone room, each of which hacked at the wall of the stone room with a splashing force.When the white light collided with the wall, the sound of the explosion was earth-shattering and rumbled continuously.

Obviously, the ancestor was angry.With no way out, he planned to break through, and when he opened the gap, it counted.

However, the Nine Chain Formation was very evil. The thunder and lightning scurrying in the stone room not only failed to burst any gaps, but caused thunder fires. The scarlet flames rolled past every place struck by the lightning. The four walls are covered with flames that burst into the sky.

The tongue of flame was so long that it almost licked his and Xuan Min's sleeves.

This is not the most troublesome thing, the most annoying thing is that the heat from the fire on the four walls is constantly transpiring, filling the entire stone chamber in an instant, and if it continues like this, it should become a hearth.

For a moment, Xue Xian felt as if he had returned to the golden bead again, being burned by Xuan Min's waist and belly.

He travels with clouds and thunder all the year round, goes to the sky and enters the sea. He always likes cool water and water. The most annoying thing is the fire that makes people sweat profusely.

During the roasting, Xue Xian's remaining table was suddenly touched by someone, and it shook slightly.When he turned his head to look, he saw Xuan Min was closing his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and he was resting on the edge of the table with one hand.

It's broken, the effect of the ambergris hasn't dissipated yet, he was already very hot, and he forced the anger into his body, now being steamed by the fire and heat from the outside, I'm afraid it's not just hard , it is possible for the true essence to scatter and go crazy.

Without even thinking about it, Xue Xian withdrew his hand suddenly.

The thunder and lightning that exploded suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even the fire that surrounded the walls slowly faded away.There was not even a trace of scorched black on the wall, and everything just seemed to have never happened... There must be a ghost.

His mother's fire dissipated, the heat didn't go away at all, and it was still steaming and steaming the two of them.

It's so hard to die, the lingering light of the bean finally came to an end, and with a "huh", it passed away.

The whole stone room was suddenly plunged into the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

In extreme darkness, especially in extreme silence, any slight noise will be amplified several times.Xue Xian's five senses were originally extremely sensitive, but at this moment, Xuan Min's breathing was particularly clear in the darkness, and the echoes that were folded by the four walls happened to come from all four sides, sticking directly to Xue Xian's ears. , It was like burying him alive.

When Xue Xian got hot, his mind went blank, and his reaction became sluggish. He really couldn't stand the continuous heat waves and the sound of heavy breathing in his ears.

"What's going on here..." He felt that a layer of sweat had evaporated from his whole body, and his thin long clothes became a little sticky, clinging to his skin, which made his tone a little impatient.

"Nine Chain Formation is as its name suggests..." Xuan Min's voice was very low, resounding in Xue Xian's ear, "Every time the formation is forcibly broken, what the people in the formation suffer will be superimposed, a total of nine layers can be stacked. "

"..."

It's just one floor, and it's so troublesome. If it's stacked up to nine floors, he and Xuan Min should be familiar with each other.Xue Xian was thinking this way in his somewhat chaotic mind.

He bit the tip of his tongue, complaining in his heart why it was fire instead of water, and at the same time worried about Xuan Min's condition.From the sound of his voice just now, he was in extremely bad condition.

Gotta figure out a way...

Regardless of the others, at least the bald donkey must be slowed down.

Xue Xian was thinking like this in the chaos, but this formation could not be broken by force, and he couldn't find any pills that could help or——

and many more.

In the chaos, he barely remembered one thing - as a real dragon, he was naturally full of treasures, and he threw it out casually, and it was the most precious treasure for mortals.He can't take the dragon scales and horns for the time being, the place is already narrow, if he turns back into a dragon body, Xuan Min probably will really die... It's crowded.

Besides, even if you find a way to take it, you can't put these two things directly into your mouth, and you have to grind them into medicine, which is very troublesome.But apart from dragon scales and horns, only dragon saliva and dragon blood can be used to save people...

By the way, there is blood.

But with the lesson of Longxie first, Xue Xian no longer acted recklessly this time.He raised his sweaty hand, groped around, patted Xuan Min and said, "Dragon blood... will blood have any troublesome effects?"

Xuan Min was silent for a moment before saying, "No."

"That's all right, I'll get some for you." Xue Xian also took a breath of hot and humid air, and was thinking about where to make the incision, when Xuan Min asked vaguely amidst the sound of heavy breathing. He said: "Really?"

For a moment, Xue Xian was stunned.

However, before his dizzy head could turn around, he felt his jaw being groped and pinched.

Subconsciously, he turned his head away a little following the strength of the finger, and then something stuck to the side of his neck.

Xue Xian suffocated for breath, and the hand beside him moved subconsciously, but he didn't lift it up, but just clenched the edge of the table.

Something was about to come out, and there was another strange feeling lingering in his increasingly chaotic mind, but he never found the outlet.

The touch on the side of the neck was so vivid that it almost overwhelmed everything else, as if something was lightly pressed against his skin, with just a little more force, just another blink of an eye, the skin would be broken and pressed in...

"No." At that moment, Xue Xian suddenly realized what the strange thing was - with Xuan Min's extremely restrained temperament, even if he really fell into this situation, it would only make him stand far away. , she would never agree to drink dragon's blood so lightly, let alone pick her neck.

His hot and chaotic mind instantly cleared up, his face quickly turned cold, and he raised his hand to sweep away the person in front of him.

He used to have great strength, especially the sudden burst of strength is often uncontrollable.Any ordinary person would be able to smash the opposite wall to pieces after being swept away by him like this, but the muffled sound of the physical body colliding with the wall did not resound.

Instead, there was the sound of something like a bead falling to the ground, and the sound of "pop" was very slight.

Accompanied by that soft sound, everything around him suddenly dissipated like a cloud of mist, whether it was the annoying heat or the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, they were all dispersed.Xue Xian glanced around expressionlessly——

He was still sitting on the table, with an empty space above his head, which had not been sealed yet.The oil lamp on the table had not been extinguished yet, Xuan Min was quietly standing beside him with eyes closed and hands down.As for Shitou Zhang and Lu Nianqi, who had disappeared for a while, they fell to the ground, unconscious.

He has seen this kind of appearance before, it is that each of them has fallen into a certain situation and has not yet escaped.

Xue Xian smiled coldly, turned his head, rushed to the dark corner and raised his hand to grab it.

With this, a heavy object was forcibly dragged to the ground in front of his feet.It was a man sitting slumped on the ground, with a disheveled face, and he was in a state of embarrassment, and his body exuded a strong smell of blood.

"Tell me first, what kind of evil formation are you laying out?" Xue Xian pointed at the void with two fingers, and the man raised his head as if his throat had been choked, "One more question, have you ever touched the keel?" After answering, I will give you a chance to bargain, and it will be more enjoyable to see how you die."

The man's mouth was full of blood, even so, he still showed a rather embarrassing smile, and said hoarsely: "It's a pity, as long as it's a little later, cough... that's it, but don't worry, there are three more. "

Xue Xian's face became even colder, and he raised his hand to move.

However, the man said again, "You...you can't help them. You have to take off the demons yourself, as long as one of them is later..." The man said, paused meaningfully, and then Laughed lowly.In the process of laughing, he choked on blood foam again, coughing so that the whole person curled up.
