across mountains and seas

The faint light of the night pearl drove away the darkness of the stone path inch by inch, and the four of them walked carefully along the stone path to the depths.

People have been stuck in the dark for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will have many miscellaneous thoughts, or fear, or anxiety, or hopelessness.

The four of them can't remember how long they walked. These miscellaneous thoughts are like growing vines, spreading crazily in the bottom of their hearts, and even their senses are infinitely magnified.

Jing Lan went forward alone, relying on the Ye Mingzhu in her hand to explore the way forward, and did not encounter any traps along the way, but the more this happened, the more worried Jing Lan became.

When the heartstrings are stretched for a long time, the tiredness becomes more and more intense.

Jing Lan was not the only one who felt tired, the three people behind her also felt very tired.

"Alan." Liu Xi couldn't help calling out.

Jing Lan turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Is there still wind ahead?" Liu Xi asked quietly.

Jing Lan suddenly stopped, "Yes!"

Both Chu Xi and Xue Qingxian were shocked, "What's wrong?"

It's not that there are no organs here, but the organs themselves are this stone road!Just like the Hailong Mausoleum at that time, no matter how long you walk along the stone path, you will just circle around in place, and you will only be trapped here to death.

Jing Lan didn't answer immediately, she handed Ye Mingzhu to Chu Xi, "Hold it, Your Highness, and follow me." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, raised her hands forward, and sensed the change of wind direction.

Chu Xi looked at Liu Xi in bewilderment.

Liu Xi nodded, "We've entered a maze. If we go on like this, we won't be able to get out until we die." After a short pause, Liu Xi looked firmly at Jing Lan, "Follow Ah Lan, she can take us out. .”

Although seeing is believing, when encountering these mechanism designs, what the eyes see is illusion.

As long as there is an exit on the stone path, wind will flow in. Eyes can deceive people, but wind cannot deceive people.

"This way!" After Jing Lan led the three of them forward for more than ten steps, she suddenly turned to the stone wall beside the road.

Xue Qingxian exclaimed: "There is no way ahead!"

"There is a way." After Jing Lan finished speaking firmly, she opened her eyes, stretched her hands towards the stone wall, and actually poked inside in an instant.This is actually a hidden bifurcation. At first glance, it is no different from the stone wall, but it is just an illusion. The more people believe in their own eyes, the more they cannot bear the illusion.

The smarter people in the world, the less they see things with their eyes.

"Follow me." Jing Lan had already walked in half her body, and clearly saw the hidden exit ten steps away on the left - there was light outside the exit, and the light and shadow flickered, as if there was a candle burning.

The familiar unpleasant smell came to the nostrils. It was the smell of burning mermaid lamp oil that Jing Lan didn't like.

The lamps and candles are always bright, and the wind keeps blowing, so the front should not be a dead end.

Jing Lan secretly made a judgment, walked quickly to the exit, but was instantly stunned in place.

The three people behind followed, and when they looked at the exit for the first time, they were also stunned.

The blue stones of the city wall are neat, the city head is towering, the blue city gate is closed tightly, and the two animal heads holding the door knocker are extremely ferocious, and they happen to be staring straight at this side.

Liu Xi walked up to Jing Lan's side, not rushing forward, and warned: "Be careful that there are organs on top of the city."

"I'll go check it out, Xi'er, be careful." Jing Lan said in a hurry, with a tap of her toes, she landed on the top of the city like a flying crane.

She glanced left and right. There was no machine crossbow or other device on the top of the city. The bricks were flat, and the gaps between the bricks were filled with golden water. It was impossible to turn the bricks and shoot the arrows under the bricks.

Jing Lan pulled out Chong Xiao from her back, walked left along the top of the city for more than ten steps, then turned around and walked more than twenty steps to the right. After confirming that there was no trap above, she hurriedly glanced at the dead and silent ancient city inside the city wall. Every once in a while, there will be a mermaid lamp under the eaves, but the ancient city without people will always make people feel frightened.

"There are no traps above." Jing Lan flew down, landed firmly under the city gate, and waved to Liu Xi and the others.

Liu Xi opened her arms, stopped Chu Xi and Xue Qingxian, and said anxiously, "Be careful behind you!"

Feeling a gust of wind blowing from behind, Jing Lan pulled out the chong xiao on her back upon hearing the sound, and barely avoided the attack of a golden snake by shifting her body.

"bass!"

Jing Lan returned the sword and stabbed, and before the golden snake had time to withdraw from the city gate, the sword edge pierced through the snake's head, flipped out a sword flower in the air, and chopped off the snake's head to the ground.

She took a closer look, and found that the city gate was still tightly closed, but not all the copper nails on the city gate were copper nails. Many golden snakes used the gate holes as their nests. Because the color and luster were similar to the copper nails, they could not be seen without careful inspection. Brass nails, where is the golden snake?

"I'll clean it up!"

Now that these golden snakes have been found, they should be eliminated together, so as not to be accidentally bitten by these fierce creatures hiding in their nests.She and Liu Xi have the "Fish and Dragon Dance Jue" body protection, so they are not afraid of any poison, but Xue Qingxian is different from Chu Xi, once bitten, Liu Xi and she may not have time to use their skills to force them to poison.

Jing Lan shot very quickly, and after a while, all the golden snakes on the city gate were beheaded.

She waited for a while, and after confirming that there were no more snakes coming out, she breathed a sigh of relief, put away Chong Xiao, turned her head and waved, "It should be safe."

But as soon as the words fell, there was a tingling rustling sound from inside the city gate.

"It's really endless!"

Jing Lan frowned, it seemed that the killing would definitely be endless, so she had to think of another way.She had a flash of inspiration, coughed twice, opened her mouth and hummed the voice of the beast.

The humming sound spread into the dead and silent ancient city, and turned between the alleys. Those rustling sounds were very restless at first, but gradually subsided with the humming sound.

Xue Qingxian is proficient in melody, she has never heard such a strange tune, she couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Miss Baili, what song is the little governor humming?"

"Isn't it nice?" Liu Xi suddenly asked with a smile.

Xue Qingxian coughed twice, how could she say something bad?Xi Shi is in the eyes of a lover, and if it were Eleven Niang who was humming, she would definitely return Liu Xi, "My junior sister sings beautifully!"

Liu Xi's heartstrings have been tense, and she finally managed to relax a little by talking. Seeing that Xue Qingxian didn't answer, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I can only hear her once or twice when she hums the voice of the beast."

Xue Qingxian had heard rumors about the sound of controlling beasts. There were archipelago people in the depths of the East Sea who were good at controlling beasts with sounds. She never expected that Jing Lan would know this skill.She thought, if there is a chance, she must study it with Jing Lan. What is the reason?

After hearing a few words from the two of them, Chu Xi relaxed her tense heartstrings, and said with a smile, "No wonder."

Liu Xi tilted her head and asked, "No wonder?"

"I knew a long time ago that this little governor of the Donghai Sect will be a favorite of many people in the future." Chu Xi smiled deeply, "It's just that I didn't expect that he would have so many skills, it's really delicious. "

Liu Xi raised her head proudly, "It's too late to know now."

Chu Xi chuckled, "When I return to court, I will give you a generous gift."

"You are not joking, Your Highness must not break his promise." Liu Xi seemed to be pushing an inch.

Chu Xi nodded, "You are not joking."

Jing Lan heard the three people behind her make fun of her, her ears were already burning red, but she couldn't fight back, she could only hum honestly, and when the humming was over, she was too embarrassed to turn around and say something, so she could only look up Looking at the lettering on the top of the wall, he forcibly changed the subject, "Xi'er, what is the inscribed word on it?"

Liu Xi sensed the embarrassment in Jing Lan's words, she raised her eyes with a smile, and looked at the inscription on the top of the city by the light of the mermaid candle.After writing down the characters above, she took out the booklet, looked through it carefully, and found the corresponding notation.

"Black... Li..." Liu Xi muttered these two words, "The dragon of the black dragon, the Li of Lidu."

Jing Lan stood under the city thoughtfully, silent for a long time.

Liu Xi put away the booklet and walked to Jing Lan's side, "What are you thinking?"

Jing Lan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness said that there is a prison prison under Lidu City. This should be under Lidu City. It is just an ancient city that has been silent for many years."

"I don't see the black dragon, I only see the ancient city of Heili." Liu Xi was also thinking about this matter.

Xue Qingxian helped Chu Xi walk over, and asked in a low voice: "Listening to the movement just now, there are a lot of snakes and insects inside. If there are still traps, I'm afraid there will be murderous intentions hidden in every step."

Jing Lan smiled and said: "I just manipulated the snakes and insects inside to slip around the ancient city. If there is a mechanism inside, it should be triggered."

There were no other sounds in the ancient city, which showed that there was no organ inside.

Liuxi suddenly swept up to the top of the city alone, looking far away, this ancient city has a total of four gates, but it is very different from ordinary cities - the four gates of the city in the world all face the four directions of east, west, north, south, but this ancient city's The city gates are crooked, and none of the city gates are aligned.

strangeness.

Jing Lan looked up at Liu Xi, saw her serious face, and couldn't help asking, "Xi'er, what did you find?"

Liu Xi said truthfully: "The orientation of the city gate is different, and it doesn't face the four directions of east, west, north, south."

Jing Lan didn't notice this just now, "Maybe it's because of the overturning of the earth that the city gates are misplaced?"

Liu Xi shook his head, "It's not like that." If the ground cow had turned over, the bricks and stones of the city gate would have collapsed, but the stones and bricks under his feet were in order.

"It's just an ancient city, isn't there a black dragon?" Chu Xi couldn't see clearly, and she didn't know what the ancient city looked like, but she still remembered the rumors passed down by the Daliang royal family for generations, "It stands to reason that a black dragon should be imprisoned here. Yes." When she was a child, she had also heard the roar of dragons by the wall of the secret palace with her ears attached.

Seeing is not believing in the past, and now hearing is not believing.

Liu Xi and Jing Lan came all the way, and they have seen a lot of strange beasts. If there are really strange beasts in this city, even if Jing Lan's voice of controlling the beasts can't control the strange beasts, it will attract them.

"There is indeed no black dragon inside." Liu Xi glanced back at the ancient city to confirm again.

"I've heard the sound of the roar of the dragon before." Chu Xi was sure that she heard it right.

Jing Lan said: "The wind here is chaotic, and if you walk through the cave, you will make strange noises." After she finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at the name of the ancient city again, as if she had thought of something, she also swept up to the top of the city .

She measured the outline of the ancient city a few times with her fingers, and murmured: "Xi'er...do you think...the outline of this ancient city looks like a dragon?"

Liu Xi's eyes brightened, as if he had thought of something, "Where the city gate is...doesn't it look like a dragon's foot?" The city gate did not correspond to the east, west, northwest, but if the ancient city was in the shape of a dragon, the city gate would be full of dragons However, the city gate was like a knife and axe, which happened to cut off the four claws of the black dragon, forming a prisoner dragon.

Jing Lan gasped, "It's not a good omen to imprison a dragon underground."

"So this city can't be lived in, it can only be a dark city." Liu Xi can already confirm that there can't be any traces of strangers living in this city.

"Crack."

Xue Qingxian moved her ears, and heard a strange noise at the foot of the city.

She clearly saw a piece of wall ash falling down—there was no trembling, nor was there a strong wind, how could the wall ash suddenly fall?

"I'll go take a look."

Xue Qingxian walked over vigilantly, it's okay not to look, but when she saw clearly what was sealed inside the plaster, she couldn't help exclaiming, "This is definitely a dangerous place!"
