Chapter 290 Elder Ma

It was pitch dark inside this passage. Liang Yan stood outside the tomb and looked down. He felt that it was a bottomless pit, and he didn't know where it would lead in the end.

However, he also knew that now was not the time for hesitation, so he secretly urged the Thread Immortal to control Yao An to lead the team into the tunnel.

Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!

Yao An rang the bell in his hand again and took the lead to get into the tunnel. The dead bodies behind him also lined up in a long line under the control of the bell and walked into the tunnel one by one.

Liang Yan was mixed in the pile of dead bodies, his face expressionless at the moment, and he was walking forward with these corpses. However, just when he was about to enter the tunnel, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily glanced to the upper right.

Just this glance scared him into a cold sweat.

Because the huge statue of the bald old man turned his neck slowly at this moment, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at Liang Yan with his open one eye!

An icy chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and Liang Yan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. However, he always saw opportunities very quickly and turned his head immediately without even looking at the statue. At the same time, he tried his best to circulate the Tianji Pearl in his body, erasing all the faint aura in his body.

Snapped!

Liang Yan stepped into the dark tunnel, but nothing happened behind him. Just hearing the sound of grinding stones, the statue of the bald old man slowly turned its neck back.

Feeling the disappearance of the eyes behind him, Liang Yan took a deep breath in his heart. Just now, he tried his best to operate the Tianji Pearl, and his whole body was tense, and he actually felt a sense of exhaustion, but fortunately, he was able to get through in the end.

Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!

Yao An rang the bell in front again, and the entire team quietly and neatly entered the tomb. After the last corpse passed, the separate tomb slowly closed, and finally there was no longer any light.

At the same time that Liang Yan entered the tomb of the dead, he was in a secret room unknown how deep underground. An old man with a square face wearing a purple robe and with disheveled hair suddenly opened his eyes.

He frowned, and then stretched out his right hand to count silently for a while, seeming a little confused.

"What's going on? Why did the statue of the Patriarch suddenly feel something!"

He raised his head and stared at a square altar table in front of him. There were seven layers of wooden frames on top of the altar table. There were several wooden tablets displayed on each wooden frame, which looked like memorial tablets.

On the wooden shelf on the highest floor, there was only a wooden sign. There was an oil lamp in front of the wooden sign, which was swaying gently at the moment. On the wooden sign, there are three small characters "Murong Han" engraved on it.

The purple-robed old man stared closely at the tablet, seemingly in a trance. After a while, he sighed softly: "The statue of the founder has been silent for many years. The fluctuation just now was minimal. Maybe it was just my illusion."

As soon as he spoke, he sat there blankly, but the silence was only for a moment, and he reached out and patted it in mid-air.

rumble!

With a sound, the door to the secret room behind the purple-robed old man was slowly pushed open, and then a short, middle-aged man with ordinary appearance walked in.

This man didn't seem to like to talk much. After entering the door, he just stood behind the purple-robed old man with his hands lowered, as if he was waiting for orders.

"Go, go check and see who has entered the sect in the past few days." The purple-robed old man said calmly.

"Yes, Protector Yu!"

Liang Yan followed the corpse team and walked slowly forward. Although the surroundings were dark, he was not worried about going astray, because there was only one way to go here.

About half an hour later, a bright light suddenly came from the front. Liang Yan looked up and saw that it was a cave entrance only for one person. Yao An walked at the front of the team and was naturally the first to exit the cave. The dead bodies behind him also passed through in order.

When Liang Yan also walked through the entrance of the cave, he discovered that there was an abyss beyond the entrance of the cave that he couldn't see to the bottom!

The terrain here is strange, like a bottomless bucket magnified countless times, and Liang Yan and the others had just walked out of a small hole in the wall of the bucket. If there was not a platform dragging them under their feet, they would have fallen down by now.

Liang Yan stood in the pile of dead bodies and looked around. He saw countless holes, large and small, on the surrounding stone walls, and the one he just came out of was only one of them.

There is a platform outside each cave entrance, and there are suspension bridges connecting each platform. These suspension bridges crisscross and extend in all directions, connecting almost all the platforms in front of the cave entrance. On these suspension bridges, there were many monks in black robes coming and going. Although there were not many people, they did not appear deserted.

"It seems that no one within the sect will allow disciples to fly at will."

Liang Yan thought like this, then looked down and saw that there was an abyss below. Not only was it bottomless, but there seemed to be something hidden in the darkness, staring at everyone.

However, this feeling was fleeting. Liang Yan calmed down his thoughts instantly, stopped looking around, and followed the corpse team onto the suspension bridge.

Yao An rang the bell and led the team. They passed several platforms and replaced several suspension bridges on the way, and finally stopped in front of a large platform.

I saw a round-faced man standing on this platform. He was in the early stage of foundation building and was well-dressed. He was looking at Yao An with a smiling expression.

"Disciple Yao An, search for the corpse and return it to the sect, please accept it from Elder Ma!" Yao An said with a dull expression.

"Hey, it's easy to talk."

The round-faced burly man known as "Elder Ma" waved his hand carelessly, and at the same time secretly gave Yao An a "you understand" expression, as if he had no intention of stepping forward to accept it.

"What's going on?!" Liang Yan muttered secretly.

Today, Yao An has been controlled by Liang Yan using the Thread Immortal. He has no consciousness of his own and can only mechanically execute Liang Yan's orders, such as simple things like "bring him into the sect" and "return to the sect". instructions.

The elder Ma in charge of the inspection seemed to be familiar with Yao An, and the two seemed to have some obscure agreement that Liang Yan didn't know about, which made it more difficult to handle.

"Is it possible that the secret has been revealed just after entering the sect?"

Just when Liang Yan was secretly worried, Elder Ma on the opposite side glanced at Yao An again, and seeing that Yao An still had an indifferent expression, he couldn't help but whisper in a low voice:

"Hey, I'm talking about you white-eyed wolf! If I hadn't asked the sect for this mission to search for dead bodies, would it be your turn? Later, you can not only receive a lot of rewards, but also get a mouthful of food. Corpse coffin, don’t you know how to express yourself?”

"It turns out there are benefits to come!"

Liang Yan secretly rolled his eyes and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
