This time, Shi Beichen and the hall masters of the Buddhist Hall and the Governor Hall came.
When they came, Shi Xiaoliu and the others showed them what they had done this year.
After looking at it, they pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is just a shifted position."
They went down to the hole to check the situation. When they came up, they proved that Shi Xiaoliu and the others had not misheard, and that they had indeed dug a passage.
Shi Beichen and his party once again set up a blindfold on the nearby mountain peaks.
The mountains disappeared in the eyes of ordinary people, so they attracted many people to inquire about the news.
Shi Beichen and his party were still a little worried at first as they watched them milling around on the edge of the mountain.
Later, I saw them come and go, and gradually I didn't take it to heart.
After discussing with the two hall masters, Shi Beichen decided to dig out this passage.
They sent the news to the sect, and soon, they received a reply.
The sect agreed with them, but asked them to ensure the safety of the people in the surrounding mortal world.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others proposed to dig the tunnel together, but were rejected by Shi Beichen and the two hall masters.
The three of them went down to dig a passage, while Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were there to protect the safety of the people around them.
After Shi Beichen and the others went down, there were still messages uploaded at first, but then one day, they stopped uploading messages for a long time.
But the sky suddenly turned dark, and soon thunder rumbled, and lightning followed the wind.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others looked at the hole dug by lightning. They wanted to run over, but then stopped.
After the first lightning disaster disappeared, the three of them finally waited for the news.
"The three of you avoid the area of Thunder Tribulation and guard the top. We are here below."
After Shi Xiaoliu and the others received the news, they felt a little relieved and retreated.
When the second lightning struck, they saw the soil at the entrance of the cave rolling up.
In the gap between the third lightning strike, Shi Xiaoliu and the others ran over and cleaned up the area around the cave entrance.
Lightning struck down one after another, and the last six thunder struck down one after another, without giving Shi Xiaoliu and the others any reaction at all.
After nine lightning strikes, the entrance to the cave was completely blocked by mud.
The sky suddenly cleared up. Shi Xiaoliu and the others ran directly to the entrance of the cave without thinking too much. The three of them kneaded the magic formula to clean the mud at the entrance of the cave.
They looked at the soil lifted up to the edge of the cave and called tentatively: "Uncle, father (uncle)?"
"Nothing."
After a long time, this answer came from below, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two people breathed a sigh of relief.
The soil above the entrance of the cave had been cleaned up, and Shi Xiaoliu and the others originally wanted to go down and clean the passage.
The master of the ritual hall spoke up: "The three of you stay above, let's check the route down,
We have set up three protective formations, so you don't need to come down. ”
"Uncle, father."
Shi Zelan exclaimed, and Shi Beichen quickly replied: "Sister Lan, let's go down and take a look at the situation. If the situation goes smoothly, we will be back soon.
If we don't return in half a year, please notify the sect and we will stop by to meet the missing disciples. ”
"Uncle, father, uncle."
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three took turns calling several times. There was no news below, so the three of them quickly conveyed the news to the sect.
Shi Zelan quickly received news from Lou Xueyu, and she inquired about Shi Beichen. Shi Zelan told her that Shi Beichen and her were no longer together.
Ten days later, Lou Xueyu and the people from the sect rushed to the outlet. She heard that Shi Beichen and the two hall masters had not returned.
She looked at Shi Zelan at that time: "Sister Lan, why don't you stop your father?"
"Mother, I can't stop father."
Lou Xueyu's face turned red with anger, Shi Zejiao said quickly from the side: "Senior sister, is there a place here where I can take a rest?"
Shi Zelan pointed to the shed by the wind vent: "We don't guard the cave entrance these days, so we meditate and practice in the shed."
"Mother, let me accompany you to sit in the shed."
Shi Zejiao helped Lou Xueyu go to the shed, and Shi Xiaoliu whispered to Shi Zelan: "When Auntie calms down, I will go and explain to Auntie."
Shi Zelan shook his head at him: "She understands everything in her heart. You don't need to explain anything to her."
The next day, after Lou Xueyu calmed down, she went to the bottom of the cave with her sect members. After she came back, she was silent for several days.
Ten days later, she went back with her sect members. When they were about to board the spaceship, she said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, my mother has no intention of venting her anger on you."
She slipped something into Shi Zelan and said, "This is the hairpin your father made for you. Keep it."
Shi Zelan took the hairpin, looked at the exquisite hairpin decoration, and said to Lou Xueyu: "Mother, I will wait by the wind outlet."
"No, if there are other people guarding the wind outlet and you want to go down to the river to check the situation, you can go."
After Lou Xueyu left, Shi Xiaoliu comforted Shi Zelan: "My mother-in-law and I haven't seen each other for many years, and we didn't get along well at first.
But later when I was about to leave, my mother-in-law and I were reluctant to leave. ”
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Lan, fortunately, Uncle Xue Yu is not the kind of woman who nags endlessly."
Shi Zelan glanced at Xia Yu angrily: "My mother is not Xia Shisan's kind of person. She has a sense of justice in her heart."
Shi Xiaoliu nodded in agreement: "My aunt is a very generous person. Except for the first day when she came here, she didn't have eyebrows or eyes for Sister Lan. At other times, she was pretty good."
"Your junior sister is not stingy as they say. I think she respects you very much."
After the three of them talked for a while, they looked around the entrance of the cave for a long time.
"Xiao Liu, Xia Yu, we re-erected the mountain peak, but those weird winds did not come back."
"I used to think it was because of the leveling of the mountains, but now that I think about it, it was probably the backlash of the ancient formations."
"Does this mean that the heaven here accepts our renovated mountain?"
"Let's take a look again. After the formation is activated for a few more days, we will see the results."
A year later, Shi Xiaoliu and the others sent news to the sect, expressing their intention to go to the bottom of the river to explore.
They quickly waited for the disciples from the Governor's Hall who came to guard at the wind outlet. After everyone met, they became quite close to each other.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others talked to them in detail about some changes in the mountain peaks and wind vents, as well as some conditions in the cave.
After the disciples from the Governor's Hall took over the matter of garrisoning the wind outlet, they also told Shi Xiaoliu and the others about some of the sect's arrangements.
Whether there is a need to station people on the other side of the river, the sect will not make a decision until Shi Xiaoliu and the others explore the situation at the bottom of the river.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others expressed their understanding. They chose to go into the water at night, and a disciple from the Governor's Hall followed them.
He saw Shi Xiaoliu and the others diving into the water, and when it was almost dawn, he returned to the wind outlet. (End of chapter)
