Chapter 29: Underground City
Qi Jiaoyao called Qi Xuansu and said, "Hurry up and find the entrance. By this time tomorrow, these criminals will be resurrected. I have no ammunition."
Qi Xuansu had to separate with Qi Jiaoyao to find the so-called entrance in the village.
This village is very simple and there is basically nothing special about it. There is no formation or mechanism. It is just an ordinary village layout for living. According to Qi Jiaoyao, these criminals can live without food, water, sleep, and rest. It sounds good at first, but it is a bit creepy when you think about it carefully. This is undoubtedly a torture.
Finally, the two found a dry well, which is the entrance.
The well mouth is not big and can only accommodate one person. Qi Xuansu thought that he had the protection of the "Gui Zang Lantern" and entered the well mouth first, supporting the well wall with his hands and feet respectively, and slowly descended.
Then Qi Xuansu found that the further he went down, the larger the space was. His arms soon could not touch the well walls on both sides, and he could only fall freely. The height of more than ten feet made Qi Xuansu, who was only at the Kunlun stage, fall heavily.
However, Qi Xuansu had jumped off a flying boat before, so this height would not kill him.
When he looked up again, he could only see a small light spot, which was the wellhead.
Qi Jiaoyao had Qi Xuansu's exploration, so he knew what to do. He found a rope in advance and slid down along the rope.
Below the dry well was a huge underground cave, which obviously had some traces of man-made excavation, and it was unknown where it led to.
Qi Xuansu asked: "You and I are now only at the realm of innate people. Even if we encounter immortal objects, how can we collect them?"
Qi Jiaoyao did not tell the truth: "It's hard to say what the specific situation is now. We have come to this point, and we can't give up halfway. Let's find the immortal objects first."
Qi Xuansu said nothing more and walked along the traces of man-made excavation in the underground cave.
It was unknown how deep the cave was, but it was still going down as a whole. After walking for half an hour, a temple appeared in their sight.
This temple built underground is perfectly integrated with the underground environment. However, it can be seen that this temple is not a relic of the ancient witch religion, but has some Taoist style.
Qi Xuansu speculated that this might be the temple built by Yao Zu. She is both a witch religion and a Taoist, which is a fusion of the two.
The temple is not big. It is directly carved on the rock wall and connected to the cave by a long staircase. The door is not closed and you can walk directly into it. After entering it, there is a structure similar to concentric circles under your feet. Qi Jiaoyao stepped on the raised small circle, and the various talismans engraved on the ground were lit up one by one, showing a huge disc shape, and then Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao fell down with the disc under their feet.
Looking around, it is like a well wall. There are two "ropes" on the left and right sides that are completely connected by illusory talismans, which are responsible for pulling the disc carrying the two people and controlling the descent speed.
Soon, the surrounding well walls no longer exist, leaving only two "ropes" made of talismans to pull the disc down.
Looking out, you can vaguely see a huge underground city, standing between various abyss cracks that have begun to collapse. Above is a fake starry sky, with fake stars densely packed, making it not pitch black, but with a faint light, as if it is not located underground, but under the vast starry sky.
After an incense stick of time, the disc fell to the ground, and below it was an altar-like existence, just to receive the falling disc, tightly fitting.
Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao walked from the altar. This is a commanding height, overlooking the underground city under the starry sky, and they were amazed.
What a magnificent underground city.
In addition to various layers of temples, there are also some huge statues, almost a hundred feet high, all of which are Wu Zhen's appearance, without other great witches among the eleven witches. It seems that this underground city is Wu Zhen's private "mansion" and has nothing to do with other ancestor witches.
I dare not imagine how much manpower and material resources were spent on building such an underground city.
Because of too many space cracks, many places in the underground city are no longer accessible. Maybe there was another way to the underground city, but after the collapse of Lingshan Cave Heaven, the road was blocked, so Yao Zu opened up this road.
There is a mountain in the middle of the underground city, and many buildings are built on the mountain. At the highest point is a palace with brilliant lights, which is closest to the "starry sky". From a distance, it looks like a fairy palace in the sky.
Qi Jiaoyao pointed to the palace: "The fairy objects are there, and the remains of Wu Zhen are also there."
Qi Xuansu frowned and said: "To pass through half of the underground city, it may not be easy with our current realm and cultivation."
Qi Jiaoyao said: "Don't worry, this is an empty city. The Wu clan here has been sucked dry by Wu Zhen, which saves us trouble."
After that, the two walked along the road under the altar to the underground city. As Qi Jiaoyao said, this is an empty city, there are no guards, and there are no criminals.
On the contrary, many empty shells can be seen along the way. The reason why they are called "empty shells" rather than corpses is that these remains still maintain their appearance before death, but the inside is empty, just like the empty shell left after the cicada sheds its skin, which will break at the touch.
Seeing that the mountain in the center of the underground city is getting closer and closer, Qi Jiaoyao is a little excited: "A fairy object!"
Qi Xuansu poured cold water on her and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The last person who secretly possessed a fairy item was called Chen Shuhua. She was a fairy. As for what happened to her, I also told you. I don't care how you use the fairy item. I just want the 'Xuanyu' and the relic."
Qi Jiaoyao was full of confidence: "Don't worry, the mountain man has his own tricks."
Qi Xuansu tried again: "Qi Daoyou, is your surname really Qi? Why do I feel that your surname is Yao?"
Qi Jiaoyao said with a smile: "Don't you have some relationship with the Yao family? Would you not know whether I am a member of the Yao family? By the way, can you guess? You can guess."
Qi Xuansu said: "I guess, your surname must be Yao. After all, it is difficult to guard against thieves in your own home."
Qi Jiaoyao glanced at Qi Xuansu: "Boy, it is not a good thing to be too suspicious. What about the trust between people? If my surname is Yao, I am not born by my parents."
Having said this, Qi Xuansu could only believe it.
Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain
At this point, Qi Xuansu felt that his realm cultivation was further suppressed, and he was almost becoming a person of the acquired nature. He couldn't even lift the "Dragon Painting Hand Gun".
Qi Xuansu could only put the "Dragon Painting Hand Gun" back into the Xumi Object and take out the "Qingyuan" that had not been used for many years.
This was Qi Xuansu's treasure. It was not only a relic left to him by his master, but also a half-love object between Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. After all, the name was Qingxiao plus Tianyuan.
Qi Xuansu originally planned to use it as a thought object, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would take it out as a weapon again.
Now, Qi Xuansu can roughly infer the magic of this fairy object. It is a typical bully who is afraid of the strong and can indiscriminately weaken the realm cultivation. However, Qi Xuansu does not think that this fairy object can weaken and suppress the realm cultivation of the immortals. At most, it has some influence, just like the "Heavenly Master Seal", "Chuan Guo Xi" and other blessing fairy objects only greatly increase the immortals' cultivation, but not enough to improve a realm. Then it seems extremely useless when used in the fight between immortals.
When an immortal faces an opponent below the immortal, he can still crush them without this immortal item. When an immortal faces an opponent of the same realm, as long as he does not fall into a lower realm, he may not be able to determine the outcome. If there is no distinction between enemies and friends, and both of them are weakened, it will be even more useless.
The only use is probably to fight against the many with the few. When encountering a situation where many celestial beings besiege the immortal, like Chen Shuhua's situation, this immortal item can play a miraculous role. However, this situation is not common. Even if it is a siege, there must be an immortal in person.
And to be honest, Qi Xuansu's realm cultivation has been suppressed to such an extent that he really doesn't know how to take the immortal item. It's no wonder that the geomancer simply doesn't set up guards-immortals are of course not affected. If it is really an immortal who sneaks into this place, unless the geomancer places "Emperor Shitian" in this place, it will be useless to set up any guards. ..
But looking at Qi Jiaoyao's confident look, maybe he stole some treasure from the geomancer, or there is some way.
"This kind of exploration plot is more painful than squeezing toothpaste."
