"Linghua." After his arm returned to normal, Jiang Mu put down his left arm, turned his head and called out to Shenli Linghua.
"Why?" Kamisato Ayaka looked at him.
"Can I hold you to sleep every night from now on?"
"You...I don't want to talk to you."
Hearing the reply, Jiang Mu was overjoyed.
She didn't refuse, this wave is done!
……
Leave Wangshu Inn and continue walking north along the road.
The air after the rain was refreshing, and the dry heat that had just risen in early June was also washed away by the rain. I felt inexplicably comfortable walking on the road.
It's just that Jiang Mu feels comfortable and weird at the same time—the story I told Linghua last night seemed to happen after such a rain, even the season is summer.
Too bad, Quan Liyue has so many strange novels, won't let me see the truth, right?
It shouldn't be possible...
Since the two of them got up very early today, and they didn't chat much on the road, they finished the second half of the journey before noon.
The two of them were at the fork in the road near Shimen, and then started to advance along the road extending southwest, and then stopped at the ruins of Gu Chi.
Kanli Linghua looked at the broken walls, the wanton growth of vegetation, and the huge amber stones between the cliffs.
"It is said that in ancient times, this place used to be the habitat of a Chi beast, but later this Chi beast seemed to be sealed by the Emperor Yan because of persecuting the people." Jiang Mu talked a little about the history here.
"Linghua, when you go in later, be careful not to touch the mechanism here, I'm afraid that something will pop out and stab us." Jiang Mu and Shenli Linghua confessed.
"Don't worry, I understand." Kanli Linghua came back to her senses and replied.
The two walked obediently along the road, quickly passed through a broken stone arch, and left the ruins.
After disposing of the few Qiuqiu people blocking the road, the two saw the tall pine tree in front of them and came to the periphery of Wuwangpo.
The surrounding environment changed in an instant, thick fog enveloped them, and looking back at the place where they walked, they could only see the faintly glowing amber stone.
This underworld atmosphere is ten times...maybe a hundred times better than in the game.
Jiang Mu unconsciously clenched Linghua's little hand, only in this way could he feel more secure.
"Linghua, don't be afraid, the things in Wuwangpo are no match for me." Jiang Mu comforted Shenli Linghua solemnly.
Kanli Linghua held Jiang Mu's slightly trembling hand, blinked and did not speak.
Facts have proved that human beings have a deep-seated fear of ghosts, whether they are unknown or known, Jiang Mu thought so.
...Of course, if anyone's force value is comparable to that of Morax at the peak, then it's fine to think I'm farting.
Wuwangpo is the boundary between life and death, and most of the wandering souls are still obsessed with the world. It may be dangerous for ordinary people, but it is generally not for the owner of the eye of God. What a threat.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mu felt relieved, took Ling Hua's hand, and strode forward.
If there is no accident, those missing people are probably here at this time.
The deeper you go into Wuwangpo, the thicker the fog becomes.
With the help of the evil lamps on the side of the road—[bright light left and right], Jiang Mu and Shenli Linghua can see everywhere on both sides of the road, dead trees, yellow plants, and some messy things, I don’t know what to do used planks.
I don't know if it's because of Jiang Mu's "majestic righteousness" that the ghosts dare not approach this place, and they didn't hear any scary sounds or get lost in the thick fog along the way.
Soon I saw a small stone statue of a chi beast, and behind it were two dilapidated houses that had collapsed for an unknown period of time.
There was a crooked well on the side of the road, Jiang Mu removed its wooden cover, looked down and found that there was still water in it.
Because he was worried that some ferocious monster would suddenly crawl out of the well, Jiang Mu quickly closed the wooden lid after taking a quick look.
Looking forward, you can see through the fog and see three flames lit by unknown people.
Jiang Mu and Shenli Linghua suddenly became vigilant, not because of the torches, but because they heard the movement from ahead.
Passing by two ugly stone statues and passing through the dilapidated houses, Jiang Mu and Shenli Linghua stopped.
The sound of wooden sticks hitting continued to resound.
Jiang Mu looked as if he had seen hell.
I saw that on the grass in front, two thugs Qiuqiu, one assault Qiuqiu, and two archer Qiuqiu were besieging a fire-axe Qiuqiu thug.
The Qiuqiu thug was beaten back steadily by the three melee soldiers in front of him, and there were five or six arrows shot by the long-range soldiers stuck in his body.
There was no black light emitting from all over this group of Qiuqiu people. If you had to find the difference from ordinary Qiuqiu people, it would be that they were all taller and stronger.
Jiang Mu and Kanli Linghua ignored the scene of cannibalism, because acting rashly in such a situation where they knew nothing about it would probably put themselves in danger.
They retreated back to the other end of the house, startled the floating little fairy, and followed the fairy to climb up the cliff.
Jiang Mu and Shenli Linghua heard the "buzzing" sound, and followed the sound to find that there were dozens of Leiying fighting among the pine trees.
Clouds of faint blue will-o'-the-wisps appeared in the air, and this eerie atmosphere made people shudder.
Lei Ying, who also did not disturb the fight, followed the fairy into the deep pine forest.
Along the way, there are rocks and rocks, and the temperature is also getting lower.
Qiuqiu people could be seen lying on the ground with scars and bruises everywhere, dying.
There are also many ice and ray slimes with circle eyes.
They even saw dozens of humans lying unconscious on the ground.
From their clothes, it can be seen that some of them should be the missing people of Liyue Port, and some of them are Qianyan soldiers who followed the clues to find them.
Fortunately, they didn't have any injuries on their bodies, as if they were knocked out neatly by someone.
The deeper he went, the more uneasy Jiang Mu felt.
It's so weird here.
Chapter 38 The Secret Palace
They finally came to a pool of stagnant water.
The situation here is appalling.
Around the dead water, there were countless Qiuqiu people, slimes, Qianyan soldiers, and several Qiuqiu thugs.
There were more than a dozen Lei Ying floating on the surface of the water, motionless on the dead water.
Along the way, I didn't see a ghost, but I really saw a ghost.
Jiang Mu had to admit that he was a little confused now.
This is something I have never seen before.
There was a shiny black stone in the stagnant water, Jiang Mu noticed it.
"Linghua, you go back to Liyue Port now, go to Yuehai Pavilion to find Sister Gan Yu, and ask her to notify Qixing to come to find someone." Jiang Mu turned his head and said to Shenli Linghua.
"Oh yes, don't come if you don't have the eyes of God."
"What about you?" Kamisato Ayaka asked.
"Me? I'm here to watch over these unconscious people, so as not to cause any accidents." Jiang Mu shrugged.
"I see, then be careful." Kanli Linghua nodded, and immediately set off to return to Liyue Port.
After Shenli Linghua left, Jiang Mu stretched and walked towards the center of the lake.
In fact, he had just lied to Ayaka Kansato, and he stayed because he saw the shimmering light under that black stone.
Through the dim light, he vaguely saw the logo of the secret realm:
The secret palace of no guilt
Jiang Mu originally thought that there were no such secret realms in the Tivat Continent, but he never thought that he would encounter them by accident today.
It seems that the black stone is the culprit that led to the emergence of this secret realm?Otherwise, it is impossible for this secret realm to remain undiscovered.
So now it seems that the truth about the disappearance of people is very clear.
This black, unidentified stone appeared here. It may contain some kind of energy, leading out of this deep underground secret realm.
This led to the riot of the ground veins in Wuwangpo, so the souls wandering in the boundary between life and death can leave Wuwangpo and travel thousands of miles to Liyue Port, inadvertently tempting sleeping people at night.
Of course, Jiang Mu reckoned that quite a few people from Qingcezhuang should have been brought here, but the distance was relatively long, and the General Affairs Department might not have received the report yet.
The people who came here, and the monsters living nearby, were attracted by the secret realm and the power of this stone because of insufficient resistance, and began to fight and kill.
It's not difficult to understand that without wisdom, creatures' desire for power comes from the bottom of their bones.
So along the way, whether it was the fighting Qiuqiu people or the comatose humans on the side of the road, there were explanations.
As for those wandering souls, the Qiuqiu people who stood at the end must have entered the secret realm?
You must go to the secret realm, maybe there are people who have entered by mistake, and Jiang Mu dismissed Shenli Linghua because of this, and her safety cannot be guaranteed.
In reality, it is impossible for the secret realm of holy relics to open when you want to open it like in the game. It is very likely that there are unknown dangers.
It is impossible for Jiang Mu to let Kanli Linghua take risks, so the good thing of being a hero and saving people can only be done by him.
The only complete uncertainty was the unconscious people outside, who had no injuries.
There must be a powerful unknown creature in the secret realm at this time, whether it is an enemy or a friend is unknown.
But there is a high probability that it is not an enemy, after all he/she/it does not seem to be hostile to humans.
Jiang Mu took a deep breath, and reached out to touch the entrance of the secret realm.
It takes almost a day for Linghua to go back and forth. If there is no accident, I can definitely leave the secret realm before she gets here, and she won't find out that I lied to her.
... If there is an accident, there is a high probability that you will not be able to get out for the rest of your life. It is useless for her to find out that I lied to her.
The shining light surrounded Jiang Mu, and the next moment, the surroundings returned to calm, and Jiang Mu's figure disappeared.
Wuwangpo became quiet.
……
Don't blame the secret palace in vain.
This is a crimson space, raging flames filled this scorching world.
"It's so hot, it's so hot, what a broken ground." Jiang Mu carried the mist on his shoulder, with his left hand on top of his head, and snowflakes kept falling from his palm.
Jiang Mu has been in the Secret Palace for more than ten minutes.
There is only a scarlet red road tens of meters wide, which stretches forward without end.
There are also large areas of red fire trees growing irregularly on the road, scorching hot grass, and occasionally a few flamingos fly by in the sky.
It really is a literal fire tree and grass flamingo, always burning, as if it will never burn out.
Jiang Mu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and approached the burning grass, the paper was instantly ignited, and Jiang Mu couldn't blow it out.
Jiang Mu also walked to the side of the road curiously and looked down: the darkness was endless, and there was still a faint smell of burning in it.
If it falls, it probably won't be saved...
As for the top of the darkness, there are groups of irregular flames of different sizes burning out of thin air.
After entering, the exit disappeared, Jiang Mu had no choice but to keep walking along the road, and kept a distance from the grass and trees.
After walking along the endless road for more than ten minutes, Jiang Mu saw the corpses of Qiuqiu people gradually appearing on the grass, under the trees, and on the roadside, the axes of the Qiuqiu thugs, and some residual slime.
The bodies of the Qiuqiu people, including the axes of the Qiuqiu thugs, were also burning with flames.
Hmm... We can guess that this secret palace may have an unspeakable hatred for the Qiuqiu people, and set fire to their bodies after they died...
Fortunately, I didn't see anyone along the way, maybe they were all lying on Wuwangpo.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Mu suddenly became vigilant.
He seemed to have come to the end of the secret palace.
There is a towering fire tree with a diameter of more than ten meters and a height that cannot be measured visually.
In front of the fire tree, there is a slender woman in white with a fox tail behind her.
A witch in a red robe and hat, surrounded by flames, and a divine bird resembling a mythical Suzaku are fighting in the sky.
Of course the Witch and Bird are together.
