Yun Ji knew that he must have discovered something, otherwise he would not be staring at it.
As expected, Niu Youdao, who had one hand on the wall and the other holding the Luminous Pearl, suddenly turned around and gestured, indicating that there was something behind the rock.
Yun Ji immediately waved her hand but saw Niu Youdao waving at her urgently, as if hinting for her not to destroy the rock.
Yun Ji nodded in understanding. She then realized that the big rock had been washed away by the water and there was no place for her to borrow strength from. She could only press her palm on the big rock and cast a spell to absorb it. She dragged it outwards and finally kicked the cliff wall.
"Buzz!" The airflow was turbulent and the strong current of the waterfall was knocked away.
A stalagmite about ten feet long was pulled out like a radish and fell into the water along the current.
Boom, the falling stones produced a mixed sound of water breaking in the pitch-black pool below.
After pulling out the rock and flying out of the waterfall, Yun Ji flew back into the water curtain and found a dark cave on the cliff wall.
Niu Youdao was already standing at the entrance of the cave, holding the Luminous Pearl and looking inside. Yun Ji followed suit.
The two looked at each other. Yun Ji touched the stone wall and said, "There are traces of man-made excavation."
Niu Youdao held the Luminous Pearl and observed the surrounding stone walls, slowly walking deeper.
Yun Ji summoned the Moon Butterfly and released it to illuminate the path.
There was a thin layer of water flowing under their feet. Due to the poor waterproofing of the cave, some of the water from the waterfall flowed into the cave.
The ground was slippery and it was easy for a normal person to fall. The terrain tilted downwards. After walking for a while, they could no longer hear the sound of the waterfall outside.
After walking for a long distance, they could no longer hear the sound of the waterfall outside. After walking for a while, they heard the rumbling sound of water.
When the mist hit their faces, the two appeared on a dark cliff wall.
The Moon Butterfly flew in the mist to illuminate the area. The two found themselves in a barrel-shaped abyss. The two waterfalls on the left and right were like two white dragons flowing into the bottom of the barrel. They did not know where the water came from or where it was going. The bottom was bottomless, and the two of them were standing on a broken bridge.
From the fracture, it could be seen that this was originally a natural stone bridge. It should have been formed by the impact of the water up and down. No one knew when it had broken, but it was about half a foot long in the middle. There was a pitch-black hole at the other end of the bridge.
In such a secluded place, with such a place and man-made traces, the two of them had basically confirmed that they had found the right place.
Yun Ji steered the Yue Butterfly into the opposite cave to take a look. The two of them saw that the cave was empty. They looked at each other and nodded. Yun Ji first went in to take a look. After confirming that there were no problems, she turned around and waved her hand. From time to time, she would check on Niu Youdao at the bottom of the abyss before flying over.
About a hundred feet into the cave, there was another flight of stairs that led downwards, with many twists and turns.
It could be seen that, just like the previous passageway, this was originally a natural crack in the ground. Later on, in order to make it easier to walk, someone made some simple modifications to it.
However, judging from the traces of processing, there weren't too many points of excavation caused by ordinary people. It was a forceful sweep, so it should be the work of a cultivator.
They didn't know how long they had been walking, but the temperature was getting lower and lower, giving them a sense of gloominess.
As they went deeper, it gradually became colder and colder, but the water droplets on the wall showed no signs of freezing. With their Dharma Eyes, they could see wisps of Yin Qi floating around.
As they went deeper, the Yue Butterfly seemed to be unable to take it anymore. It flapped its wings and refused to go further. Yun Ji had no choice but to keep the Yue Butterfly and said, "I'm afraid it's already seven to eight hundred feet underground."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly. He couldn't figure out how deep they were after the twists and turns, but he believed that Yun Ji, who was good at burrowing underground, would not be wrong.
Yun Ji reminded him, "The Yin Qi is getting heavier and heavier."
Niu Youdao said, "The heavier the Yin Qi, the more it means that we're in the right place."
Yun Ji was puzzled, "Who made such a secret passage down there? What exactly is hidden here?" She didn't know what was going on with the map on the sword, nor did she know what they were looking for. However, she knew that such a secret place couldn't be simple.
Niu Youdao said, "You'll know in a moment."
The two whispered to each other and their voices echoed. They continued to move forward under the light of the luminous pearl.
Perhaps because it was too dark, the light of the luminous pearl seemed to be compressed into a small ball. The Yin Qi floating in front of them added to the gloomy and mysterious feeling of the underground space.
After walking for a while, the two gradually felt that the airflow was accelerating, and the floating Yin Qi was tumbling more violently.
Soon, the two also came to the end of the tunnel. It was an underground space that looked like a stone room.
There was a cave door in the stone room, but it was blocked by a spherical boulder. Yun Ji saw something in the light of the luminous pearl and pointed at it. "Look!"
Niu Youdao raised the luminous pearl and looked at it. On the top of the blocked boulder, which could be said to be the lintel of the sealed cave door, there were four big words engraved: Loyal Heart of Blood!
"The words on your sword." Yun Ji turned around and reminded him.
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "It seems that this place really has something to do with Dongguo."
Yun Ji asked, "Is this the work of your master from Shangqing Sect, Dongguo Haoran?"
"It should be." Niu Youdao sighed and walked to the blocked boulder to check it. He found that the seal was rough. At least the edge of the boulder did not completely fit with the cave door. There were big and small gaps, and gusts of Yin Qi were blowing out from these gaps.
Niu Youdao turned around and threw out the luminous pearl again. He cast a spell and made the pearl fly around the stone room a few times to illuminate the whole environment of the stone room.
The stone room was also rough, but it made them understand how such a large boulder came in from the small passage.
Yun Ji said, "The material of the boulder is local. It was also for the purpose of digging this boulder that we made such a basement."
Niu Youdao caught the luminous pearl with two fingers and stepped back, "Since we are here, we must go in and have a look. Move the boulder away. Try not to make too much noise. If the thing inside wakes up, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. "
There is something inside that can be awakened? Yun Ji was shocked, "What thing?"
Niu Youdao said, "I can't be sure if it exists. I am here to confirm it. You just need to be careful. If there is, you will see it."
Yun Ji immediately became more cautious. She walked to the side of the boulder, grabbed the boulder with both hands and cast a spell.
Buzz! The boulder shook, and the gap was slightly bigger. The Yin Qi that blew out from inside immediately became stronger.
"Be gentle." Niu Youdao reminded again. The luminous pearl in his hand helped to illuminate the area.
Yun Ji nodded slightly. She tried to control her strength and speed and carefully rolled the round boulder backward.
The boulder rolled with a dull buzzing sound. The slightly uneven ground cracked under the weight of the boulder.
As the boulder was completely moved, the Yin Qi inside blew out, causing their clothes to flutter.
This was only the two of them. If an ordinary person was blown by such a strong Yin Qi, they would immediately fall seriously ill.
The air flow seemed to be connected. There was a fluttering sound in the darkness inside.
The round boulder rolled to a corner of the stone room. Yun Ji was afraid that it would roll, so she cast a spell and cut a stone from the stone wall and placed it under the boulder as a precaution.
In the whistling Yin Qi wind, she turned around and found that Niu Youdao was already standing against the wind. He stood on the stone door and slowly closed the luminous pearl with his palm, blocking the light from the luminous pearl.
"What's wrong?" Yun Ji walked to his side and asked. Then, she was speechless and realized what was going on.
She also saw the same thing. In the dark void in front of her, there were many red dots. They were very small red dots. They seemed to be the size of mosquitoes. There were many of them and they were uncountable.
That was not an ordinary red light. Every strand of weak red light that was the size of a mosquito exuded a sense of evil charm. It gave off an erratic feeling. As the saying goes, it exuded a sense of evil and evil.
Logically speaking, the light could help the transcendence vision to see clearly what was in the void. However, this red light was obviously not ordinary. It did not have any illuminating effect. Instead, it made it harder for people to see clearly. It seemed to have a sense of concealment.
"What is it?" Yun Ji was bewildered. Her voice became softer. She thought of what Niu Youdao said before about not waking up the thing inside.
Niu Youdao did not reply. He stood in the whistling Yin Qi wind and looked around. Suddenly, he sniffed and took two steps forward. He walked to the side of the stone door and reached out his hand to feel around.
Yun Ji did not know what he was searching for. "Pop!" Suddenly, there was a dull sound of something being pulled. Then, there was the sound of a gurgling liquid flowing.
This time, Yun Ji also smelled a strong and pungent smell of kerosene.
Niu Youdao raised his hand. His finger was already stained with black oil. His hand trembled slightly. "Weng!" The black oil on his finger was instantly ignited. It whistled in the wind and was almost blown out. However, Niu Youdao quickly cast a spell to block the attack of the Yin Qi wind.
He ignited the flame on his finger and pointed at the side of the stone door. "Weng!" A ball of flame suddenly ignited and instantly turned into a fire dragon that spread out.
Yun Ji's gaze followed the direction of the fire dragon. She saw a stream of flowing oil flowing out from the slot beside the stone door. It flowed along a stone groove. Wherever the oil flowed, the burning fire dragon followed.
A huge underground space gradually appeared under the light of the spreading fire.
The fire dragon continued to spread and circled around the huge underground space. In the middle of the space, a relatively large fire pit was formed.
A flagpole was stuck in the middle of the fire pit. A large flag was fluttering in the Yin Qi wind. A large "Shang" character was embroidered on the flag. It was fluttering in the wind!
The "gululu" fluttering sound that they heard from outside came from this large flag.
The huge underground space was uneven. However, there were weapons everywhere. Sabers, spears, swords and halberds were like a forest. They were as sharp as ever. Cold light flashed. There were also many battle armors that flickered under the light of the fire.
At first glance, this scene was really spectacular. It was like a large underground arsenal. The light of the fire set off a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
What attracted Yun Ji's attention even more was that on top of every weapon or battle armor, there was a cloud of floating black fog that could not be dispersed even after a long time. Vague silhouettes could be seen inside. They were birds. To be exact, they were crows.
The eyes of the Dark Feather Crows were tightly closed. There were faint traces of red light floating in the gaps of their eyes.
Countless crows, countless strands of red light. It was the mosquito-sized red light that the two saw before.
These silent Dark Feather Crows on top of the Yin Qi wind weapons seemed to be in a deep sleep.
