Chapter 302: 1 Pass, 1 Corpse
Ning Tao turned off the phone screen, and came to the exit of the passage quietly. The space in front of me suddenly opened up, but it wasn't very big. The top was only a dozen meters high, and the mountain walls could be seen at a glance on the left and right sides, and the width was only 20 to 30 meters. Moving forward, there is a darkness that cannot be seen through at a glance, and I don't know how deep it is.
Zeng Xunlong and his four disciples stood in front of a huge stone tablet, behind which there was an underground river.
Zeng Xunlong's four disciples each had a tactical flashlight, some of which were aimed at the underground river, and some at the stone monument.
The underground river is only two meters wide, and the water flow is gentle. Even a person with such a width can easily jump over it with just a short run-up.
The stone tablet is a tortoise tablet, several meters high, with the words "Tongtianhe" engraved on it in vigorous and powerful characters.
Tongtian River is a river in "Journey to the West". The last difficulty of Tang Sheng's master and disciples, an old turtle carried the master and disciples across the river. The book said that the river was 800 meters wide, but I didn't expect that this river, which was only two meters wide, also took this name. As far as the width of this river is concerned, there must be no millennium-old turtles in the river.
Ning Tao looked at the stone tablet, and secretly said in his heart: "Tongtian River? Tongtian, Tongtian, is this river related to cultivation and immortality?"
At this time, Zeng Xunlong said: "You, jump over and have a look."
The disciples who had been ordered by the soldiers came to the riverside cautiously, and shone their flashlights on the opposite bank. On the opposite side is a piece of jagged rocks in various shapes, some big and some small. He seemed to want to see the place behind the strange rock area, but the light of the tactical flashlight couldn't shine through at all.
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?" Zeng Xunlong urged, with an irresistible majesty in his voice.
The disciple took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and then sprinted forward. When he was approaching the ground river, he jumped up, and his whole body jumped into the air to the opposite bank. With his run-up and jumping height, let alone a river that is only two meters wide, he can jump across a river that is five meters wide.
However, just as his body was flying in the middle of the river, he suddenly plummeted, as if something suddenly grabbed his feet and dragged him to fall into the river.
Gudong!
The disciple fell into the river, and he sank to the bottom of the water in a blink of an eye, and he didn't even make a struggle during the whole process.
Disciple Wang Xing, who was holding the dragon-finding ruler, rushed to the river, and wanted to reach out to grab the brother's hand, but his hand retracted before reaching the river.
People are selfish.
"Damn it, how dare you come out to get something wrong with this little talent?" Zeng Xunlong cursed, then pointed at Wang Xing and said, "Wang Xing, jump over there and have a look."
"I..." Wang Xing suddenly turned pale, and his legs trembled violently.
Zeng Xunlong pulled out his gun with a bang, and pointed at Wang Xing: "I'll count to three, if you don't jump, don't blame the master for being cruel."
Wang Xing also had a gun on his body, but he didn't have the courage to draw it at all. He also took a few steps back, took a deep breath, sprinted towards the ground river, and then jumped.
This time Wang Xing did not fall, he jumped over.
Zeng Xunlong said: "Isn't that right? He was careless just now, and he deserved it if he died. If there is one less person, you will get more. Let's all go there."
The remaining two disciples also jumped over without any accident.
Zeng Rulong was the last one to come to the riverside, he didn't need to run up, he just jumped to the other side so lightly, the whole person soared into the air, leaped over like a roc spreading its wings, and there was not even a sound when his feet landed.
Afterwards, Zeng Rulong took the remaining three disciples into the rocky area, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Only then did Ning Tao come out of his hiding place, and led Qing Zhui and Xiao Tiangou to the side of the stele. He awakened the state of seeing and hearing skills of the eyes and nose, and in an instant, wisps of misty aura appeared in his sight. The innate energy fields of Qingzhui and Xiaotiangou are like two lanterns, illuminating a huge area for him. He also saw the four innate celestial fields that entered the chaotic rock area, which undoubtedly belonged to Zeng Xunlong and his three disciples, but when he moved his eyes to the chaotic rock area, he saw the four innate celestial fields , and another congenital field rapidly weakens.
This situation means that another person has died.
Ning Tao frowned: "That guy is so poisonous. He must know the situation here. Every time he passes a level, one person needs to die. None of the people he brought can survive. Only he can leave here alive."
Qing Zhui said: "This place is very dark, most likely it is the cave of demons, if it is really a fairy tomb, then the person buried here is probably a demon fairy."
Ning Tao suddenly remembered a character, Zhu Hongyu's mother, Hu Ji. Yin Molan said that she is a fox demon, and the source of finding the Zudan lies in her—could it be that Zhu Hongyu came here to find her mother's tomb?
"Let's go, I'll jump first, you follow." Ning Tao quickly put away his thoughts, and he walked to the river.
When there is danger, he always goes first by himself, and will not let the people around him go first.
After jumping over the ground river, Ning Tao, Qing Zhui and Xiao Tiangou also came to the rocky area.
Ning Tao soon saw runes at the bottom of a stone, which was actually a magic circle.
Not surprisingly, there is also a magic circle under the rock that opens the door and under the river, and it takes a human life to pass through each time.
This situation made Ning Tao also secretly glad that he didn't attack outside. If he found it by himself, regardless of the danger of breaking into the magic circle, just breaking the circle would be difficult for him. Knowing that now, what he has learned and mastered are all his own runes, and the runes of ordinary cultivators and demons still know very little. In fact, there is no way to quickly make up for the shortcomings in this area, and it requires a long-term learning process.
After entering the rock formation, he saw a corpse not far away. He was pierced by a stone thorn that suddenly rose from the ground. There is an open road in the direction facing his body, extending straight forward.
It didn't take long to walk through the chaotic circle and it came to the end. A road that could only be stepped on by one foot was dug on a nearly ninety-degree steep cliff, extending upwards in a "Z" shape around the cliff.
Not surprisingly, there was another corpse at the intersection of this mountain road. It was that Wang Xing, who was caught in a crack on the mountain road, his head and body were squeezed into meat paste, and only one hand was still protruding from the ground, holding a dragon-finding ruler tightly.
Ning Tao said: "Four of the five people led by that guy have already died, which means that there is one more level to go, let's follow."
This time he went up first, stepping on the mountain road that could only accommodate one foot, with his back against the cliff, walking up cautiously.
Qingzhui and Xiaotiangou are quite easy, because Qingzhui has snake claws and Xiaotiangou has dog claws.
After passing five "z" characters, a voice came from above.
"Master... I beg you, I... I still have an old mother at home, please don't let me die, okay? I don't want money anymore, I want to go home."
"Yan Zong, you are my most valued disciple. You are a bold and careful person who can do great things, so you don't want to get rich? Those idiots are dead, and the 100 million rewards are divided equally between the master and the apprentice, 50 million each. , you have 50 million, why do you need to do this kind of business of cutting off children and grandchildren?"
"Enough!" Yan Zong roared angrily: "Don't lie to me, those four juniors will die only if they believe in you. If I believe in you, I will die here too! I understand now, why one person five Don’t worry, you brought us here because you want us to die, and then you will get the treasure and reward alone!”
"You have to go if you don't."
"Don't come here, or I'll shoot you!"
"Hey hey..."
Ning Tao walked through the last section of the path, and poked his head out from behind a rock. There was a flat dam in front of him, as if someone had cut off the cliff alive with a magic axe, and opened up this flat dam.
The top of Pingba is not very high is the mountain of Xuefeng, with huge boulders hanging on it, giving people a feeling that they may fall down at any time.
Directly ahead, at the end of Pingba is a mountain gate, built entirely of stone, more than ten meters high, majestic and broad. There is a plaque on the gate of the mountain, engraved with the words "Temple in the Mountain" in beautiful characters, which seems to be written by a woman.
Behind the mountain gate is a series of stone-paved steps, and at the end there is another big stone gate. There is a pull ring on the stone gate, which looks loose and can be pulled.
At this moment, Zeng Xunlong and his last disciple Yan Zong were standing at the end of the steps. Yan Zong was holding a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was also facing Zeng Xunlong.
Qing Zhui was about to leave Ning Tao's side, Ning Tao took her hand and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, let them open the door first."
Qing Zhui nodded, she seemed to feel itchy, when Ning Tao's mouth left her ear, she reached out to pick her ear. Those ears are crystal clear, and don't have a delicate feeling of being blown to pieces.
Then, Ning Tao, Qing Zhui and Xiao Tiangou probed behind the rock and watched the two masters and apprentices who were caught in a duel.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the onlookers follow behind.
At the end of the steps, Zeng Xunlong stopped his sneering voice: "Yan Zong, I really didn't see that you really have the guts to point a gun at your master, bully your master and destroy your ancestors, are you not afraid of thunder?"
Yan Zong sneered and said: "Don't use this trick to scare me, which one of us will end up well? Since I have done this business, I am not afraid of bad retribution. Aren't you going to open the door? Okay, you go there, Or I'll kill you with one shot!"
Zeng Xunlong suddenly looked up.
Yan Zong subconsciously looked up, but at the moment when he was distracted, Zeng Xunlong suddenly grabbed his hand holding the gun, and then pushed it to his chest, his The joint was immediately countered, and the pistol fell into Zeng Xunlong's hands.
Zeng Xunlong sneered and said, "Fight with me? You're still young, go over!"
Yan Zong knelt down on the ground and begged: "Master, I was wrong, I..."
boom!
There was a gunshot, and before Yan Zong knelt down, a bullet hit his thigh, and blood gushed out, immediately staining his thigh red.
Zeng Xunlong roared angrily: "Go and open the door! Otherwise, I'll blow your head off with one shot!"
Yan Zong dragged his shot leg and walked towards the temple gate very slowly.
Zeng Xunlong said: "You may not die if you open the door, but if you don't open the door, I will shoot you to death. I can forgive you, as long as you can open the door, I will not care about what happened just now , after the matter is completed, I will still share half of the reward with you."
Maybe it was because there was still a little bit of luck, a little bit of hope in his heart, Yan Zong came to the stone gate and hesitated for a while, and finally reached out and grabbed the stone ring, and then lifted it up... js3v3
