The bright moon sits on the ground

The off-white diamond-shaped stone platform was carved into patterns of the sun, moon and stars. In the depression, there was a layer of dust accumulated over the years, and there was an old atmosphere everywhere. Huang Sheng was standing in the center of the stone platform, and the darkness was on him. Continue to spread behind, never stop.

When Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng stepped on the stone platform, they realized that this stone platform was the end of everything.

"This place is probably a high platform." Huang Sheng held the lamp in another hand, pointed to the stone platform under him, and said, "I don't know how deep this place is, but, you stand up to Go up to the edge of the stone platform and see if you can hear anything."

The more they went down, the more Nie Qiu suspected that they were not going down at all, but up.

This place is really too deep, so deep that he felt as if he had to dig out the center of the earth to accommodate this kind of building.

Fang Qisheng didn't let go, Nie Qiu led him to the edge of the high platform, not too close, just glanced down, it was really bottomless, just like what Huang Sheng said, he quietly After listening for a while, I heard something else, not whispering, not the wind, not the howling of wild beasts, but the soft and slow sound of water flowing.

It's very close, Nie Qiu thought, he knew that there was a creek of unknown origin, and he had seen Chang Jinyu scooping water with his own eyes.

If I remember correctly, at the end of this water stream, light will shine through the cracks on the top, hanging on the huge stone tablet that runs through the entire field of vision. The five characters "Xuanputang" and "Baixuan" were engraved on the stone tablet, and Chang Jinyu turned around with a gloomy expression, looked at the stone tablet, moved his lips slightly, and silently read the words to him. Character.

In addition, when you shake the lamp over, you can see some flickering black shadows wherever you can see.

He straightened up and said, "If you see the light and there are two stone tablets, it means that we are very close to Master Chang."

Huang Sheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Nie Qiu. He didn't even bother to count his doubts, and said casually: "There is another layer underneath. If there is no accident, Chang Jinyu should be right below... So, you should know What am I going to say?"

Fang Qisheng held Nie Qiu's wrist and pulled him back, so that he would not feel like he was bewitched by the evil spirit before, and he didn't know the pain when he was injured. Hearing Huang Sheng's words, he turned his head and sighed imperceptibly, with a feeling of resentment, "Are you planning to go down to find him first?"

"I hope you don't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations." Huang Sheng said, "I have to say something to him face to face."

He really wanted to make use of the topic to vent out the grievances of the previous night, but this is not the occasion for arguing, so he deliberately ignored the three big words "whatever you" on Fang Qisheng's face, turned around, and waved with his back to them, "At most one cup of tea time."

Huang Sheng knew that if Chang Jinyu could go down from here, then he could too. There was no rope on the edge of the stone platform, so Chang Jinyu didn't slide down through the rope. Even if someone took the rope, it would more or less stay behind. After all, if the owner of this place, the immortal named Bai Xuan, found the intruder, he didn't think Chang Jinyu would be alive and well.

He never believed in any gods before, but now that he has seen them a lot, he is more or less commonplace, and even a little numb.

Chang Jinyu began to exercise Huang Sheng and Fang Qisheng's intuition and reaction when they were young. They were not bad at first, and Huang Sheng was especially good. He didn't want to recall how he practiced it. Anyway, it was not a good memory.

Fang Qisheng is cautious. Although he will never miss the opportunity when it is time to act, his status as the leader has become a shackle that restricts him to a certain extent. He will think carefully before saying anything, but Huang Sheng is completely different from him. , Huang Sheng has nothing to worry about, he is light, and he almost blindly trusts his intuition, and never hesitates because of it.

So, he walked in with a lamp in his hand, unhindered all the way, never looking back.

Intuition told him that there is nothing here, no gods, no weird beasts, no traps, only the bottomless darkness and silence, and only the continuous murals remain in the empty underground, like a cave that has been hollowed out. Kezi's mausoleum.

Huang Sheng stood on the spot, exhaled slowly, to calm down his beating heart, looked at the darkness in front of him, without hesitation, blew out the lamp in his hand, and put the lamp on the ground, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng just Seeing him take a step forward, he was swallowed by darkness in an instant, he walked so calmly, they even had the illusion that Huang Sheng had already seen the way ahead.

The hurricane blew upwards and drilled into the gaps of the golden leopard-shaped mask. Huang Sheng squinted his eyes. For the first time, he felt that the buckles on the mask were a bit troublesome. The wind was so strong that the buckles hit his cheekbones. The thin layer of flesh and blood can feel the pain.

In fact, it was only a matter of an instant, and he soon realized that those black shadows were countless stone platforms, connected together, standing in a forest in the abyss, even if it was just a quick glance, it would not prevent Huang Sheng from seeing clearly. It was almost the same as the one above, with its four corners raised and bent into a crescent shape, like the sharp claws of some kind of bird—he pulled out the golden whip from his waist and swung it out.

The golden whip straightened instantly, and there was a faint pain in the crook of his arm. The dark shadow was getting closer and closer, wrapped in the wind, rushing towards his face. Huang Sheng subconsciously protected the fragile parts of his body. Hitting a sharp edge, the sound of the cloth being cut was only for a moment, followed by pain, spreading from the slender wound, his expression remained unchanged, and he climbed up the stone platform.

Using his teeth to tear off a corner of his clothes, Huang Sheng hurriedly wrapped up the wound, when he heard Fang Qisheng's voice from far above.

Vaguely, probably asking if he was dead, Huang Sheng wanted to shout "I've let you down", but felt that it was exhausting, so he raised his hand and slammed the golden whip on the ground, splashing dust, crisp and clear. With a sharp sound, it was right to answer Fang Qisheng.

He thought the lamp was too troublesome, so he turned it off. After his eyes gradually got used to the darkness, he saw an inconspicuous light in the distance, hanging on the top, like a bright moon hanging on a branch, and immediately remembered what Nie Qiu said After observing the light and the stele carefully for a while, he found two taller shadows with different shapes in the distance, so he was sure that this was the place Nie Qiu was talking about.

After taking two steps, Huang Sheng realized that his actions just now were too reckless. Not only was there a cut in his left arm, but also the elbow joint seemed to be removed, completely out of his control. His knees also hurt badly, and there was pain all over his body. His dark red clothes were torn and scratched everywhere. Give him a bowl and he can go begging.

He simply stopped and sat on the ground, the relief was hard and cold, and his butt hurt, he got up after resting for a while.

Huang Sheng took out a glass vial from the bag on his back, and took out two dried leaves. The leaves had a fishy smell, which made him frown, but he still put the leaves under his tongue, and the pain felt Alleviated, barely cheered up.

Only at this time did he think of the benefits of having a doctor by his side, if Xiao Xueyang was there—Huang Sheng quickly denied this idea, if Xiao Xueyang was still there, it would be impossible to swing here with him, she doesn't know martial arts, so I'm afraid it would be a problem here I can't move an inch.

He lit the fire pocket, stood on the edge of the stone platform, and threw the fire pocket down.

It wasn't too high here, and the torch quickly fell to the ground. As soon as it was lit, the darkness disappeared and gradually extinguished.

Huang Sheng had a solid idea in mind, so he took out the rope that he had prepared earlier from his luggage, and after confirming that the raised corner of the stone platform would not break when he climbed down, he tied the rope up tightly and stuck it. Hidden buckle, and hit a few knots.

Then, thinking that the clothes were just like this, Young Master Huang simply tore off two more pieces of fabric and wrapped them around his hands, so that his palms would not bleed from rubbing against the rope later, and the outer robe on his body would be taken out of his waistband. Pulled out, it became a waist-length top.

He always does whatever comes to his mind, and he slid along the rope to the end, his palms were inevitably worn out, but he didn't bleed.

When he looked up again, Huang Sheng realized that the stone platform they were standing on at the beginning was actually not high.To be honest, if it was very high, Huang Sheng would be the first to die because of it. I don't know why, but looking from the top down, this place looks like an abyss, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. It was easy to see the opening of the cave where they had come, and the flickering flames.

Huang Sheng glanced at it from a distance, then turned and left.

He has adapted to the darkness, so there is no need to use the light to explore the way. When he landed, he took off the golden whip from his waist. Even though his intuition told him that there was no danger here, he still restrained his previous recklessness and became cautious. Be careful.

Vaguely, Huang Sheng felt that he was getting closer and closer to Chang Jinyu. What made him afraid was not this strange place, but Chang Jinyu. Yu, the courage he mustered up is about to go to waste.

Looking down, the blood agate hidden in his clothes slipped out at some point, and he didn't bother to stuff it back.

Huang Sheng stopped and walked, his heart was beating violently. He didn't know if this was considered cowardice. Anyway, this feeling was really uncomfortable. He spun around like a headless chicken for a while, guessing that Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng It was time to find a way out, time was running out, he had to tell Chang Jinyu what he had to say before these two people came to make trouble, so he stopped hesitating and walked forward.

When did the wind become cold, Huang Sheng didn't notice it at all, just like Chang Jinyu appeared in the crowd so quietly on that day many years ago, he couldn't remember what he was doing at that time Clear, just remember Chang Jinyu's words.

Chang Jinyu asked, I am the heinous leader of the Demon Cult, are you not afraid of me?

Huang Sheng glanced at this man, raised his hand to stop the boy who was shaking his fan, and said, I am the young master of the Huang family, are you not afraid of me?

At that time, Chang Jinyu probably laughed, Huang Sheng still thought that he was sick, so he would be deceived by him after he got it.

The golden whip pierced through the air, but the epee, which is called "scary" by the world, was not out of its sheath. It lightly and deftly blocked the blow, wrapped around the golden whip four or two times, turned its wrist, and the whip immediately tightened. Huang Sheng was caught by this blow. He dragged and staggered two steps forward, the sudden attacker raised his hand to hold his shoulder, stabilized his body for him, and put the blood agate back into his lapel without any trouble.

Just as he imagined, the man was indeed a little thinner, but his expression was not tired. His long hair was casually draped, and the pendant on the earlobe was hidden in the hair.I heard that his father was a swordsman from the Western Regions, and his mother was a girl born in a water town. His browbones, eye sockets and bridge of nose all inherited from his father, only the occasional softness between his eyebrows and his lips are very thin. , Lining his fickleness and passion.

Chang Jinyu's pupils are different from ordinary people's. From a certain angle, his pupils are slightly light blue, which can't be seen if you don't look carefully. Or, who would pay so much attention to a vicious villain with a great reputation? Are the eyes good-looking?

"Child, you should stop your breathing." Chang Jinyu looked down at Huang Sheng and asked, "Are you here alone?"

Huang Sheng felt that his throat was dry, and it took him a long time to call out "Master" sullenly, "Fang Qisheng is here too, and..."

Chang Jinyu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and pulled out the epee from the golden whip with his backhand, laughed in a muffled voice for a while, stretched out two fingers, picked up the corner of Huang Sheng's tattered clothes, and said with a smile: " People who come in from the outside, why are they dressed less decently than the people inside? Don’t tell me, it was your senior brother who treated you harshly when you were in the Devil’s Cult, and didn’t even ask you to wear a good dress.”

He probably held back for a long time, and after he finished laughing, he touched Huang Sheng's head and followed his words: "Who else? An Picai?"

"I didn't tell my uncle." Huang Sheng avoided Chang Jinyu's intentional or unintentional approach, and said, "There is also the newly appointed Right Guardian. His relationship with Fang Qisheng is quite unusual, and I think he wants to tell him about it personally." Let me tell you, I don’t want to mention it, so I won’t say more.”

Huang Sheng took two steps back and pinched himself secretly, only to feel that once Chang Jinyu opened his mouth, the control of everything was obediently in his hands, leaving no room for others to change. His previous hesitation and fear were because of this. a little.

"Don't talk about that." He clenched his teeth and forced out a sentence, "I have something to tell you."
