After discovering the entrance to the secret tunnel, Lu Chen did not enter it immediately. Instead, he stood outside the entrance and carefully observed it for a while. At the same time, he felt that there was a faint cold wind blowing out of the tunnel.
He nodded slightly. Since there were signs of ventilation, it seemed that the tunnel below was not very shallow. There should be more to it.
Lu Chen stood up and tidied up his clothes. He was about to go down when he suddenly saw White Lotus coming over from the corner of his eye.
Lu Chen stopped and frowned. "Why? Do you want to go down too?"
White Lotus said matter-of-factly, "Martial Uncle Tianlan asked me to help you. Of course, I will follow you. Besides, I'm a little curious about what's down there. Let's go down and have a look. "
Lu Chen said, "We haven't figured out the identity and origin of these people. Maybe there will be some danger. Everything is fine for you. You are a superior person. Why do you come and take such a risk?"
White Lotus smiled and looked at Lu Chen. "Are you talking about those who might die a violent death at any time, and who don't even know why they died?"
Lu Chen glanced at her. White Lotus's expression did not change. It seemed that what she had just said had nothing to do with her. Lu Chen was silent for a moment. He suddenly sighed and turned to walk up the stone steps of the tunnel. At the same time, he said, "Be careful. If there is any danger, I won't protect you."
White Lotus responded. It seemed that she did not take his words to heart. She just followed Lu Chen.
…
The stone steps of the tunnel were made of very ordinary stone. There were no decorations on the walls on both sides of the tunnel. It was just that everything was square. Although it was simple and crude, it was relatively comfortable to walk.
After walking down for a while, the light dimmed. However, Lu Chen was prepared for this. He took out a flint and wood torch from his arms and directly lit a torch.
At this time, White Lotus, who was behind him, was a little surprised. She said in astonishment, "Do you actually carry a torch with you?"
"How is that possible?" Lu Chen said, "Didn't I decide to explore this secret passage before I came here? So, I naturally brought a torch in case of emergency."
White Lotus replied with an "oh" and did not say anything else. As the two of them continued to descend, the surroundings were soon shrouded in darkness. Only the light from the torches illuminated the surroundings. White Lotus had unknowingly approached Lu Chen.
This passageway was much longer than Lu Chen had imagined. Similarly, it was also much larger than the secret passageway he had found in the bedroom. In fact, the secret passage in the bedroom was more like a hidden vault. After walking for a short distance, it was just a small storage room.
Lu Chen had already searched that area that day, but there was nothing worth paying attention to in the underground storeroom. It was precisely because of this that Lu Chen shifted his attention to this place.
The cool wind blowing in their faces was still there. The light on the torch swayed from time to time, but the flame was burning very steadily. Obviously, there seemed to be plenty of air in this passageway.
As Lu Chen walked, his eyes were staring ahead with great vigilance. But at this moment, he suddenly heard White Lotus suddenly ask him, "Lu Chen, if you were Martial Uncle Tianlan, would you really want to kill me?"
Lu Chen didn't even turn his head back as he continued walking forward. At the same time, he said, "You're living a good life now, and your status is respected as well. Normally, you're not even grounded. Since Perfected Lord Tianlan is so good to you, do you think he will easily kill you? "
White Lotus bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "But you just said that Martial Uncle Tianlan is likely to want to kill me …"
"Do you believe what I say?" Lu Chen stopped and looked back at White Lotus.
White Lotus was stunned and said, "Why? You still can't believe me?"
Lu Chen laughed and pointed to the front, saying, "Hurry up. I feel that the cold wind is a little stronger in front. We have probably reached the flat ground."
White Lotus looked back and saw that the way they came was now covered by darkness. Even the entrance of the cave just now could not be seen. Her face was a little pale. She estimated in her heart that from the entrance of the cave to here, it was probably equivalent to walking down from the ground, and the vertical height was about 100 feet.
This discovery surprised White Lotus a little, because a tunnel of such a scale in front of them must have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and it was almost impossible for an ordinary cultivator to do it. Especially in this busy street, if someone found out or complained about the indiscriminate harvesting and digging, they would often look for the Heavenly Dragon Mountain's True Immortal Alliance to uphold justice.
What was Rui Xiaotian's background and identity?
After walking for a while, the ground under their feet suddenly leveled out. Lu Chen whispered, "We are underground." As he said this, he raised the torch in his hand and began to illuminate the side.
As the torch was raised high, the fire burned and gradually illuminated the surroundings.
A moment later, Lu Chen and White Lotus suddenly exclaimed at almost the same time and exclaimed at the same time.
With the help of the fire, Lu Chen and White Lotus saw where they were at the same time, as well as some of the surrounding areas. On the stone steps they came down just now, they could see that the stone steps and the stone walls next to them were almost newly built by outsiders. They were simple and meaningless.
However, as they raised their torches, Lu Chen and Bai Lian suddenly realized that they had walked into a large underground passageway that was paved with huge stones. There were also some strange symbols carved into the walls on both sides, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that they were writing markings or something like that.
Those characters, markings, and talisman inscriptions all looked very ancient. Even now, perhaps no one knew the meaning behind them. They did not understand why the predecessors had carved these things in this underground place.
However, although they did not understand these words and marks, they still thought of something else from these things.
Lu Chen did not say anything, but White Lotus suddenly said in a deep voice, "The relic, this is a part of the underground relic back then."
Mount Tianlong was a spiritual mountain blessed on the Four River Plain. The land on and below the mountain were fertile and rich in spiritual energy. Perhaps there had been humans living here since a long time ago in ancient times. As for those ancient tribes, they lived here for a very long period of time before disappearing without a trace. Therefore, the relic had slowly become a ubiquitous place in the Immortal City.
A long time ago, this large-scale relic had been famous all over the world, but it was sealed by powerful humans in the following days. And today, Lu Chen and White Lotus had only casually opened the door under the peach blossom tree and actually found this secret passage. Who knew that it was deep underground and was actually connected to the relic.
Lu Chen quietly looked at the situation in the surrounding passage. His eyes moved slightly, and after a moment, he suddenly pulled White Lotus and walked forward at the same time, saying, "Let's go take a look."
