Chapter 295 Underground Rules
Haruyo held the fluorite and walked at the front.
Yin Xiu was in the middle, followed by Ma Xiaoyu who was holding a three-color bright ruler.
This is Haruyo's suggestion. Anything can happen in the sky, and being too bright is not a good thing. It is enough for them to control the light within a range that is enough to see the surrounding things clearly.
But he also knew that if he really reached an open area, someone would be able to see this light even a few kilometers away.
However, we are in a narrow mine at this time, and the need for concealment is far less than the need for lighting.
"I once saw a mountain range in the distance, underground of course. It shone like the Milky Way.
I was so obsessed that I came here every day for a few days and took a look at it from a distance. Then one day, the rock wall changed its direction and was blocked by something, so I couldn't see it anymore. ”
Haruyo's voice reverberated in the deep tunnel, vibrating the eardrums of several people like a drum.
At first this kind of sound makes people feel dizzy and a little irritated. After gradually getting familiar with it, this kind of sound no longer makes people irritated, but has a strange feeling.
Yin Xiu touched the surrounding rock wall with his hands, and his gloves were immediately stained with some shiny dust.
Obviously this crystal vein is still "growing", and sooner or later all the gaps will be filled, and these channels will no longer exist.
However, this matter must be measured in ten thousand years. What Yin Xiu sees now will probably be very different from what people will see a thousand years from now.
After all, "thousand years" is a very small unit in geology.
"Chundai, it seems that the places you have been to are not as few as you said." Yin Xiu said.
"But not that much."
Haruyo turned around, "We are like insects walking among the roots of a tree. We think we have touched the branches of the big tree. In fact, they are just a part of its huge roots, and it is still a very small branch. ”
"I know, just like an earthworm."
Yin Xiu nodded, took his arm back from the rock wall, shook it off and shook off the dust.
Whether it was a cricket or an ant, it didn't matter. Yin Xiu didn't feel any fear or sigh because of it. He just walked slowly while paying attention to the movement above the rock wall.
There, in the gaps of some caves, he saw several black shadows flashing across the endless crystal bridges.
Obviously, Ma Xiaoyu also saw it.
She put a hand against Yin Xiu's back, and her soft fingers moved a few times intentionally or unintentionally, conveying some kind of code that only the two of them understood.
Yin Xiu didn't respond. His pace was still the same, and his breathing was still as steady and soothing, but all the muscles in his body were quietly prepared for action.
They waited and watched, and the black figures above seemed to be very patient and not in a hurry to take action.
At this time, Haruyo suddenly whispered: "In Wujian, everyone is a neighbor who is not allowed to worship. When we rarely meet, even if we meet, we treat each other as invisible."
Yin Xiu grinned, "I really just want to think that they are passing by, but it seems that these people have different ideas from me."
Haruyo's expression suddenly changed, "Are you coming for me?"
"They are coming for us anyway."
Yin Xiu knew clearly that they should be the ones who influenced the hidden dragon, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that he would bump into them here.
This fight seems to be inevitable, but it is up to the other party to decide when and where to fight.
After a pause, Haruyo pretended to be nonchalant and walked forward slowly, but his ears pricked up involuntarily.
Finally, when passing through a cave, the original gray top of the cave had been replaced by crystal at some point, and black shadows left traces on the translucent dome.
Haruyo stood still, sighed, and said loudly: "Friends, I have been with you for a long time. If you have anything to teach me, please just say it to avoid hurting everyone's feelings."
After his voice echoed several times in the ethereal cave, cracks appeared in the crystal dome on top.
As the cracking sound became louder and louder, like a bee rubbing against a paper window, Haruyo's breathing gradually became heavier.
Finally, the dome cracked, and several figures fell from the sky with fragments!
Ma Xiaoyu jumped away first, and at the same time her sleeves bulged, and several tubes of talismans were held in her hands, emitting a strange light.
Yin Xiu and Chun Dai followed closely behind, standing in front of her in an inverted triangle formation.
After all, Chun Shi was a person who could defeat Yin Xiu a few times, so there was no reason to back down at this time.
After the three of them stood in formation, several black shadows that fell from the dome finally stood firm, making no sound.
Among the black robes that concealed their faces, the leader began, his voice carrying a low and hoarse tone unique to the underground.
"Are you from Qintian Prison?"
Yin Xiu shook his head, "When have you ever seen people from Qintianjian so fashionable? We are locals, and we don't mean any harm."
The man in black robe refused to give up, "Prove it to me."
"Okay."
Yin Xiu looked at Chun Dai, who immediately took out a brown paper bag from his pocket and threw it to the leader.
The leader took the paper bag, opened it, and found that it was a piece of butter that had been cut into a section. He put his nose close and smelled it hard, and then nodded.
"Very good, it's a piece of good butter. The people in Qintian Prison don't understand such rules and don't bother to abide by them."
After looking at the butter in his hand, the man finally didn't return it, but stuffed it into his pocket.
"Since you are not from Qintian Prison, why are you here to explore the earth's energy?"
Yin Xiu said coldly: "Before asking others questions, you should introduce yourself first. Is this basic courtesy? You still bow half-way when you ask."
The leader paused for a moment, then let out a hoarse laugh, "Okay, so I'm rude and don't understand the rules."
He didn't seem angry and took his hands out of his sleeves. They were a pair of pale and smooth hands.
As he took off his cloak, an equally pale face with some traces of age appeared in front of Yin Xiu.
He was about forty years old, with a pale face and eyes sunk deep into the sockets that had almost no flesh at all.
Such a face is obviously caused by long-term malnutrition and lack of sunlight.
The man put the backs of his hands together, his index finger touching his middle finger, and his ring finger touching his little finger, making a strange gesture.
"The unity of blessings and life, the heart net of Bodhi."
Behind him, others made the same gesture and spoke in unison.
Yin Xiu glanced back, and Ma Xiaoyu's eyes were equally blank. Apparently she had never heard of such strange spells and gestures.
He looked at Haruyo again. The well-informed private detective seemed to be in close contact with these people for the first time. He was dumbfounded at the moment. Just when the three of them were at a loss, the leader said again: "My name is Du Chen, and I am the person in charge here."
"The person in charge? The person responsible for causing trouble?" Yin Xiu asked.
There was a strange light in Du Chen's eyes, but his face was still very calm. It seemed that except for certain matters, he didn't care about other things, including Yin Xiu's cynicism.
He was as cold as a stone.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the atmosphere between the two parties has become tense in this silence.
Haruyo cautiously took half a step forward and threw the sixteen-sided brass dice in his pocket to Duchen.
"A monk from the Iron Heart Sect asked me to give it to you. He said any one will do. You Qi Refiners know what this is."
A rare look of joy appeared on Du Chen's face. He put the dice in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
After a few breaths, the joy disappeared from the face that looked like it was carved by a knife.
Du Chen had no expression on his face and threw the brass dice aside. The dice rolled down the gap, making intermittent sounds before being completely swallowed up by darkness.
"This is false," he said.
Haruyo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had been deceived by the monk.
Only then did he remember what the monk said: "Monks do not lie, and poor monks will not lie to those Qi practitioners."
That's right, the monk did not come to deceive Duchen, but called him over and made him a scapegoat!
These Qigong practitioners, whose minds are obviously not normal, do not look reasonable. Who can know what is going on in their minds? What will happen?
Taking a deep breath, Haruyo spoke quickly.
"I don't know about that. That's what the monk gave me. If there is any dispute, you should go find him yourself."
Du Chen glanced at him and said, "You are a hermit. You should know the rules of Wu Jian. Whoever brings fake things should be responsible for it."
As expected, these Qi refiners are paranoid and weird, and their ideas are different from ordinary people.
"Those are the rules of the messenger, not my rules. I am a detective, not an errand boy." Haruyo replied with a cold face.
"I don't care about that. I only know that whoever brings fake goods will be responsible."
Du Chen paced with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were not on Chun Dai, but on Ma Xiaoyu who was behind Yin Xiu.
"Girl, I feel that you have a special inspiration, and your spells are also very good, which will be very helpful to us."
Ma Xiaoyu immediately frowned, and she felt that this man began to exude a strange aura, which seemed to have some kind of turbidity.
But before she could speak, Yin Xiu had already stood in front of her.
"If you want her to help, you have to ask me first. Are you begging or begging?"
"It's a requirement."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Chen reached out with one hand, stretched out two fingers, and touched Yin Xiu's eyes, as fast as lightning.
"How brave!"
Yin Xiu knelt down and bent over. Suddenly he rose up like a sick tiger and hit Du Chen like a cannonball.
Bang!
As soon as the two people collided, the impact force was transferred to their feet, and the ground around them suddenly cracked.
Duchen's body movements were not delayed at all, his waist and back were tense, and he slapped Yin Xiu's face with his palm.
Yin Xiu did not dodge, but let go of his palm, stretched out one arm, raised his elbow to the side, and used the old ape seal to strike directly at the opponent's temple!
This move was so swift and so ferocious that Du Chen fell to the ground. After barely dodging the blow, Yin Xiu's knee hit him one after another.
Seeing that the knee was about to hit his chest, Du Chen's chest suddenly made a strange sound, and then his back heart suddenly arched up, and his front chest sunk into a depression as deep as the mouth of a bowl.
Bone shrinking skill!
With this slight change, Du Chen retreated sharply and finally managed to avoid Yin Xiu's oncoming murderous intention.
After taking a few steps back, Du Chen took a deep breath. His back, which was originally as high as a hunchback, shrank back. The bones and flesh on his chest slowly returned to normal, and he looked like a normal person again.
It's both weird and reasonable. A person living in a seamless world will always encounter some narrow and tortuous gaps from time to time.
Sometimes these gaps can only be entered sideways or with one arm. Sometimes you can enter forward, but when you go backward, your head is stuck between the rock walls and cannot move.
Many people were caught in such weird traps and eventually starved to death.
As a Qi practitioner who travels around this world of eternity, Du Chen has naturally mastered this skill early on, but he didn't expect that he would use it during a fight today, so that he would not be seriously injured.
When they were fighting, several men in black robes just stood there, as if their minds, like Du Chen, had turned into a stone to some extent, cold and cold.
Only Ma Xiaoyu knew that these people were not idle, but had their sights on herself and Chun Dai, keeping an eye on them at all times.
This is a group of people who are organized and strictly abide by disciplines, and because of their too "calm" nature, ordinary changes may not be able to shake them.
As long as the leader issued an order telling one of them to stand still, they would not move a step even if bullets flew past their ears.
These people can naturally be said to be the best soldiers, but as a Qi practitioner, will such a character be a hindrance?
In other words, most of these people just have the name of Qi Refiners, but actually play a role similar to "worker ants". In this case, this kind of stubbornness and old-fashionedness can really come in handy.
Ma Xiaoyu doesn't know what the facts are, and neither does Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu only knew that although the leaders of these Qi Refiners were weird, they were not very strong in boxing and kicking skills.
If it weren't for that weird bone-shrinking skill that acted as a secret trick, he would have been captured by himself just now.
It's just that the same move can't work a second time in front of Yin Xiu.
Du Chen let out a breath, and a touch of blood symbolically passed over his pale face, then disappeared.
At this time, he no longer looked at Ma Xiaoyu, but stared closely at Yin Xiu.
"The people on the ground are cunning and arrogant, and difficult to deal with.
But sometimes, we also encounter uninvited guests who come down from the ground, including masters, but they never leave here alive. Do you know why? ”
"I'm not interested in knowing. I just know that you won't be so lucky this time." Yin Xiu said coldly.
"Really?"
Du Chen smiled rarely, the smile at the corner of his mouth was like the wrinkles on a plaster statue, stiff and exaggerated.
Then, headed by him, the places beneath the feet of several people seemed to melt and soften, making their heights look shorter, as if they were swallowed by a swamp.
"Earth magic!"
Something happened today. I will update the 4,000 words. It will be back to normal tomorrow
