Chapter 62: The Blood-Red Silk

Hearing that Lorraine Hill asked about the witch who was imprisoned at the bottom of the abyss, the core members of Youcheng who were present were slightly surprised, looked at each other, and then spoke cautiously.

"We do know the one His Highness Lorraine mentioned, but... In fact, more than a hundred years ago, my faction could not control that lord."

"Uncontrollable, do you mean she got out of trouble and left?" Lorraine Hill was a little surprised.

"No, that lord didn't leave, and still stayed at the bottom of the abyss, but we don't have too much restraint on her." Several people shook their heads.

Although I saw that there were sacred objects left by the five phoenixes in Youcheng in the past, there were only two of them. It was okay to deal with the witch who was imprisoned and suppressed.

"Can you tell me about the current situation?"

"The lord still lives deep underground, but we dare not get too close, so we can only set up a ban from a distance. If the other party leaves the abyss, we will know quickly."

"Is this the case..." Lorraine Hill looked at the ground thoughtfully, and raised his head after a while.

"You said that it was out of control a hundred years ago, so His Majesty Chifeng should have known about the situation at that time." As a local guarding sect, if such a serious incident happened, he must report it to Chifeng.

"Yes, Lord Chifeng knew about it, but later sent a letter saying that as long as that person does not leave the abyss, there is no need to be too demanding." From this point of view, both parties also acquiesced to this situation.

Lorraine Hill stood up, "I'd better go down and see for myself, I just have something I want to ask that person."

"I will lead the way for His Royal Highness Lorraine."

Afterwards, Lorraine Hill asked the group in the Observatory to rest for a while, and only brought two core astrologers to follow behind.

After walking out of the main hall, a group of people came to the edge of the abyss outside. Looking at the huge abyss below, which was so deep that it even reverberated in the empty valley, a feeling of astonishment came to their hearts immediately.

This can be said to be a wonder that is hard to see on the surface of the earth. There are layers of stairs spiraling down, surrounded by buildings and roads, and the central abyss is about several kilometers in diameter.

After looking down, the huge spiral vortexes converge towards the center, and the ground is shrouded in darkness, which is hard to see clearly, as if facing the entrance of another world.

"Your Highness, please follow me." After finishing speaking, several disciples who had seen Youcheng jumped down from the side of the high platform and descended directly from the hollow in the center.

Seeing these people jump off the high platform, Lorraine Hill also jumped down lightly and followed behind.

The clothes were blown up by the air current, and there was a whirring sound in the ears. When the group of people fell, the scenery on both sides also flashed quickly. Shops, restaurants, houses, lights, rooster crows, beasts, and human voices quickly moved away behind them. Everything in front of them became darker and darker, and the temperature felt on the skin became colder.

In the end, there were more and more black water mist in the field of vision, and the eyes were also in darkness. Only three light spots flying in front could be vaguely seen, and they guided the direction for Lorraine Hill.

"Plop—" There was a sound of water splashing, and several people stepped on the stagnant water in the abyss, and then took a few steps forward.

At this time, Lorraine Hill also landed gently, her movements were very soothing, and she didn't make any noise, just like soft cotton wool falling on the shoal on the ground, causing ripples.

Led by the three people in front, Lorraine Hill and his party followed behind, passed through the diffuse mist, and entered the depths of a dark abyss.

This place is located underground, with a sloping and towering rock wall above the head, where the sun will never shine. Walking in it, except for the sound of splashing water, the only sound is the breathing of yourself and your companions.

The air was exceptionally quiet, and echoes from a distance could be heard.

After walking a certain distance, a bright light appeared in the distance of vision, and following the light forward, a huge underground mountain gate appeared in the eyes of Lorraine Hill.

"This is the entrance to the underground river, and it is also the main camp of my disciples." After entering the gate, You Xing introduced it to Lorraine Hill.

After that, the two led the way for Lorraine Hill through the long tunnel.

Occasionally, I would see Youcheng disciples on patrol. Most of them were dressed in black and behaved smartly. They would salute and greet You Xing and You Xing when they saw them.

"Good morning, seat."

Most of these disciples are disciples of the third generation, and their strength is between the sixth and seventh ranks. When they saw the Lorraine Hill group behind You Xing and You Xing, their eyes were a little fresh and curious. It seemed that few other factions would come here.

Walking in this wide tunnel of dripping water, You Xing would occasionally say a few words to Lorraine Hill to avoid being too silent.

"I heard that His Royal Highness Luo Lan once solved the local secrets in the Ximu Mountains, and saw the treasures left over from the former Yan Luo Palace?"

"There is such a thing."

"In fact, our faction has a lot to do with Yan Luo Palace. In the very early days, the two factions also experienced some difficulties together. It was only later that they separated for the sake of development, and the communication became less." You Xing said some past events recorded in the faction.

In fact, the Nine Serenities of the Eastern Continent somewhat intersect. After all, the Necronomicon Sequence came from the Western Continent. In the East, it was very small at first, and there were only a few factions that huddled together to keep warm.

In the early years, Jianyou City was not called Jianyou City, but Xunyoumen. They were dedicated to finding the ghosts of the dead for the families of people who died in foreign countries. They accepted the entrustment of the family members and searched for the ghost fragments of the dead. Although there are only some residual thoughts and emotions left, they can still be collected, stored in special horcruxes, and finally sent back to their hometown.

Although this kind of entrustment has a good single income, it is often only a luxury of a wealthy family, so the faction has always been difficult to develop and grow.

But Haoli Yan Luo Palace’s predecessor was different. They called it “Death Sect” at the time. The techniques and techniques in the sect followed the orthodoxy of the necromancers in the Western Continent. They mainly focused on killing, awakening corpses, and refining high-level undead creatures.

It's just because the nature of the "Death Religion" is really incompatible with various factions, they are often besieged and resisted by surrounding factions, and later they have to hide in the XZ, and occasionally find some factions who are also with Jiuyou to help them.

This situation continued until the 'Ruzijiao' was accepted by the country of Youji at that time. With the protection and acceptance of the country, this faction developed rapidly, and later it was directly renamed Haoli Yanluo Palace.

&nbo) Li', the name of an ancient funeral song.

"It turned out to be like this." Lorraine Hill also became a little interested when he heard it.

"Then how did you become the current faction?"

"Although Lord Chifeng led the crowd to defeat Yan Luo Palace in Haoli back then, he also felt that it was powerful. After collecting the methods and skills in his faction, he deleted many vicious methods, and later passed them on to us and Ning Zi Zhao Ye Palace."

"So many of the methods and skills of our school actually came from Yan Luo Palace, but because of the different styles, they have been improved a lot later, forming a difference from Yan Luo Palace."

There are very few factions in the Eastern Continent that practice the Nine Serenity Sequence, and there are only three schools among them: "Ningzi Zhaoye Palace", "Treading the Bone to See Youcheng", and "Scorching Sun Xiangyu School". Among them, the Xiangyu School is not a major, but has a complete inheritance.

Talking along the way, everyone unknowingly walked through the long tunnel to the exit.

Before getting close, there was a sound of rushing water. When Lorraine Hill stood at the entrance of the cave, he could see a rushing underground river below.

Because it is underground, the dark river is vaguely dark, only the outline of the edge is visible, looking in along the dark river, you can see a little glimmer of light in the turning hole.

Walking down the stairs at the entrance of the cave, a group of people walked to the dark river, where there was a half-submerged building, on which were hung bright white lanterns with candlelight, and several boats were tied to the edge.

"Senior brother/sister in charge." A middle-aged man with a little beard led a few people down the stairs. When he greeted and saluted, he also looked at Lorraine Hill behind him. He didn't seem to know the identity of this girl.

"Is Junior Brother Sui Du on duty today? We need a boat to take His Royal Highness Luo Lan down to the depths of the dark river."

"What's so difficult about this, please wait a moment, brothers and sisters." As he spoke, he led the two of them back to the building, rowed out one of the river boats made of ebony, and parked it in front of them.

"This 'Xingyin Ebony Boat' is currently the best crafted one, please have a look at it, brother." He introduced with pride, it seems that most of the boats here are built by himself.

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Youxing Youxing and You Xing nodded with a smile.

In fact, they would not be so restrained in normal times, but today they would only say some polite things when there are distinguished guests present.

After boarding the boat, two disciples who had seen You Cheng were rowing behind, and You Xing talked about the situation of that junior brother just now.

"Junior Brother Sui Du is actually much older than the two of us, but he started relatively late, so his seniority has fallen a little bit. Although he has practiced the Nine Nether One, he is more interested in making some equipment and tools. In recent years, Junior Brother Sui Du has contributed a lot to the development of Dark River."

"The water in this dark river has the breath of dragon veins, and it is very cold. Generally, wooden boats will corrode after a short period of time, so extra materials must be found to build them."

"Actually, the disciples of the school usually fly over directly, but today we have to receive His Royal Highness Luo Lan, so we can't be so negligent, ha ha." You Xing covered his mouth and laughed lightly.

After getting along for a while, the two of them realized that Lorraine Hill was not a serious and rigid person, and they relaxed a little. Speaking of which, the two of them entered the sect to practice earlier than Lorraine Hill's entry into the sect. If it wasn't because of Lorraine Hill's special status, under normal circumstances, they would still need to call each other senior brothers and sisters.

In a small boat, Lorraine Hill and Youxing Youxing occasionally talked about the depths of the underground.

The two of them also knew everything about Yuanyuan, so they didn't stop talking until after a while, after turning around a tall rocky mountain, their eyes suddenly became clear.

The water flow has become extremely wide here, so the speed has slowed down a lot. On both sides of the dark river is a large field of flat land, and now rows of flowers and plants are planted, emitting a little bit of fluorescence in the dark underground.

Across this wilderness, there are the steep stone walls on the two banks, some of which have stalactites hanging down and dripping water. Looking at the top of the head, it is pitch black, and only huge stalactites can be seen protruding from the darkness and hanging down.

Park the boat on the shore, and a group of people walked forward, climbed the steps on the shore, and walked into this neat wilderness. These plants are about as high as Lorraine Hill's chest, with dark green grass leaves and light white flower spikes.

There is a little wind blowing along the river, bringing some fresh air, and this fluorescent field is undulating, spreading to an endless distance.

Around the field, there are dark red arched huts. Some tools and materials are placed in the huts, which are mostly used to deal with weeds, pruning branches and leaves, and black soil to increase fertility. Near the mountain wall, there are layers of terraces built along the wall. Orange lanterns are hung on them, bringing some warmth to the cold and dark underground.

In this field and the towers, you can see the Youcheng disciples walking by from time to time, most of them are dressed in white, which is different from the disciples who parade in black, and these disciples are also better at cultivating and refining skills.

According to the introduction of You Xing and You Xing, these backing buildings are mostly for the disciples of the school to live in, and there are also markets and shops among them. Occasionally, there will be lectures by the elders of the school to impart some knowledge.

Lorraine Hill nodded, and she also took a few glances from a distance, but this was not the main purpose of today. A group of people walked through the field and continued to walk in.

At this time, the direction of progress is no longer along the river, but as we travel, we are getting farther and farther away from the dark river, and the surrounding area is becoming more and more desolate, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and it is deep and cold.

"It's here." The two stopped walking, but there seemed to be only a dark stone wall in front of them, and there was nothing else.

"Behind this stone wall is where the lord is. Although we know it, we have never entered it."

"I'm afraid I can only accompany His Royal Highness Luo Lan here this time."

"It's okay, you can just wait here, I'll go in and take a look first." I don't know if that witch is getting along well, and Lorraine Hill doesn't want to implicate too many people.

When she came to the stone wall, she opened her eyes slightly, which exuded an orange-red scorching brilliance, and then the girl waved her sleeves, and the stone wall in front of her eyes became like a lake like rippling water.

It should be here, Lorraine Hill calmly walked into the hazy stone wall, passed through this layer of obstacles, and entered the small hidden cave inside.

There seems to be a faint light hanging from the top of the head, and the vision is full of long, blood-red long silk ribbons. Some of these silk ribbons are wrapped around the stones, some are placed between the stone walls, forming a curved arch bridge, and some are laid across the ground.

The blood red and pitch black are intertwined with each other, giving this stone forest a strange color.

Stepping on the black and hard stones with light-colored shoes, Lorraine Hill carefully avoided the red silk, walked slowly through the stone forest, and analyzed faintly in his heart.

These red silks are probably the product of that witch's power, and they are somewhat strange, so it's best not to touch them.

It's a pity that even though the girl thought so, these red silks suddenly came alive. They raised their heads like snakes, stared at the slender girl who walked into the stone forest, and began to swim continuously. The silk rubbed against the rocks and made a rustling sound, and there were more and more of them, like a cave of ten thousand snakes, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

Just when Lorraine Hill's brows lit up with three golden scales, and he was about to defend himself, a lazy voice came from the depths of the stone forest.

"No, this is my guest."

Then a woman with white skin like porcelain and wearing a black red dress slowly walked out from behind the stalagmite. The whiteness exposed by the collarbone of her neck was in stark contrast to the darkness around her. She was almost morbidly beautiful. Her eyes were as cold as jade, but with a hint of enchantment, which made people intoxicated.
