Chapter 222 Update 1

Half-Life Taoist really didn't know that the Yinshan Ancestor was the puppet master's puppet.

Wei Xun thought about this from time to time on the way.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain Taoist Ban Ming's performance. The performance of gesturing the copper coin sword to Patriarch Yinshan was so handsome that it made Patriarch Yinshan stunned for a moment.

"I'll find a way after we get down in a while, let's leave, okay?"

Taoist Ban Ming was very sincere, and kept nagging in Wei Xun's ears along the way: "Don't worry about the ancestor of Yinshan, don't be afraid even if you sign a Lao Shizi contract with her, I'm here."

It seems that currently, perhaps he and Zhou Xiyang are the only two people who know the true identity of the ancestor of Yinshan. That's right, the guides who sneak into the journey must be more careful, even the dream chasers can't be sure.

Wei Xun curled his lips and thought of an interesting idea.

If Taoist Ban Ming knew about it... he should report it directly to the hotel. As the deputy leader of the Laoshan Brigade, he should have the authority to contact the hotel directly. Will the puppet master be directly expelled from the brigade?

"If you are interested in the dragon bone, I can take you to take a sneak peek or two. But be careful, the dragon soul is not something to be trifled with."

forget it.

Looking at Taoist Ban Ming, Wei Xun couldn't bear to trick him when he saw his broken hand. Thinking of his risking his own life to save others.

So it's easy to use it on enemies, and you don't have to worry about trapping it.

"Hey, you little Taoist priest doesn't know how high the sky is."

The ancestor of Yinshan finally spoke, his voice was extremely cold, with a hint of contempt and displeasure: "We are here to steal the dragon bone!"

"Huh?? Dragon bone stealing?? Just you??"

Taoist Ban Ming was just about to scold the woman to shut up, but was shocked when she heard her speak. He didn't believe in the ancestor of Yinshan, so he subconsciously looked at Bing250, only to see him nod in acquiescence.

Ah this, this? ? ?

"Keel? Huh? Do you want to move the keel?"

He was so shocked that Taoist Half Life seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke: "I think you really don't understand? This is a dragon bone that can be used as a dragon vein!"

"what is the difference?"

Wei Xun asked with great interest, Taoist Ban Ming sounded like he had seen a dragon bone?

"Of course it's different from our ancestors. Things like this that will affect the surrounding environment are the most troublesome."

The half-life Taoist said helplessly, looked at the Yinshan Ancestor warily, and lowered his voice to Wei Xun: "Don't touch it if you are not sure, really believe me. This dragon bone town is a land of water and soil. If it is natural death, even if the death energy leaks out again, It's none of our business, but once you touch it, it dies, the dragon's veins are cut off, and Xiaotangshan becomes a place of death, you know it!"

"The hotel will kill you! I think the ancestor of Yinshan just wants to take the blame on you. She will definitely know some dirty tricks like diverting sins. Really, I think black energy is rising from the top of your head!"

"I signed a contract with her."

Wei Xun lowered his voice, still calm, but seemed to be hesitant, as if he was shaken by persuasion: "Can you tell me in detail?"

Hearing what he said, in order to persuade Bing 250 to change his mind, Taoist Ban Ming tried his best to tell Wei Xun all the important information such as dragon bones, dragon souls and dragon veins. He was quite a thief when he was talking. He gave Wei Xun a mung bean and asked him to put it in his ear.

Mung Bean transmitted the message, and the ancestors of Yinshan in the province overheard.

"Anyway, just follow me and I'll take you out."

There is always an end to the corridor. When he saw a very tall and huge warm jade gate in front of him from a distance, Taoist Ban Ming stopped talking worriedly. He wanted to grab Wei Xun's hand, but he was so nervous that he didn't dare to reach out. Finally, he grabbed the red and stiff hand and stuffed it into Wei Xun's hand.

"Catch him...you should have prepared the tools to return to SAN, right?"

Like parents who send candidates to the examination room, Taoist Ban Ming can't wait to give you countless warnings: "Put one in your mouth, or hold one in your hand, ah, you will swallow it as soon as you see something wrong. By the way, what is your SAN value now?" Sample?"

"It's pretty stable."

Wei Xun said vaguely, in fact, it was the same as when he first saw the passage from the third floor to the fourth floor of the underground palace. Wei Xun's SAN value had been falling steadily and at a constant speed. He had actually drank the purified magic honey water a long time ago. There is even a drop of purified royal jelly pressed under the tip of the tongue in case of emergency.

But Wei Xun really couldn't tell what caused him to lose SAN. Just like this corridor, there were no murals and no monsters. The black ground made of unknown material under his feet had winding fire patterns, which seemed to symbolize the path they were walking on. It's a fire tunnel. But there's nothing more to it.

Is there some hidden secret passage?

The Yinshan Patriarch and Banming Taoist were extremely cautious, walking along this fire line like a cat-walk. If someone measured it with a ruler, they would be surprised to find that they were walking in a pure straight line without any deviation.

Wei Xun looked at it and suspected that there were only fire lines that could be stepped on, and there were traps and other traps next to it, so it was difficult to walk honestly.

But this only increased the doubts in his heart.

If the SAN keeps dropping, it means that the place is full of mental pollution, or someone is watching him in the dark. But the ancestor of Yinshan and Taoist Ban Ming did not have any other special actions except walking in the wrong direction. Recalling that it was the ancestor of Yinshan who had just entered the fourth floor of the underground palace, Wei Xun did not take the initiative to ask questions, but followed.

Half-life Taoist is so talkative, he will always be concerned about the SAN value issue.

As expected, Wei Xun took the opportunity to test it out, but the half-life Taoist's answer made his heart sink slightly.

"Don't be brave. Is your SAN value really good?"

Seeing that Bing 250 showed no signs of losing control of alienation, Taoist Ban Ming subconsciously looked around and couldn't help but show an expression of disgust and resistance. Then he saw that Bing 250's aura was calm and he looked very calm, so he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: " He can keep calm, and his mental quality is really strong. No wonder he can connect with Team An and not be spoiled by those who want to kill him. "

Wei Xun:.

Ignoring Taoist Ban Ming's mutterings, Wei Xun kept his actions in mind. Calmly, he glanced left and right with the corner of his eyes - there was nothing strange, simple, clean stone walls. It should not arouse people's feelings of disgust and resistance.

Unless there is something that he cannot see, but both Yinshan Ancestor and Half Life Taoist can see.

Danger.

Wei Xun lowered his eyes and walked forward quietly on the fire pattern.

The severity is different from before. If there was something that only the Yinshan Ancestor could see but Wei Xun could not see, he could still use the excuse that he was a tour guide and belonged to the hotel. The Yinshan Ancestor was a local monster after all. Or maybe the hotel was vaguely aware of the strangeness of the Yinshan Ancestor and put some tests on her.

But now even Taoist Half-Life can see it. In this temporary three-person team, he is the only one who cannot see it.

Not seeing means unknown, and unknown means fear. Many times, the fear caused by people's constant speculation about the unknown far outweighs the disgusting and twisted things that can actually be seen. Humans are group animals. Once they realize their "specialness", it will be unbearable pressure, irritability and panic.

But Wei Xun didn't have any negative emotions at all. He remained calm and even thought more.

He was thinking, what is the difference between himself and Yinshan Patriarch and Half Life Taoist?

What caused him not to see?

The declining SAN value made Wei Xun think of this first. If he thinks about it from this aspect, there is no doubt that neither Yinshan Patriarch nor Half Life Taoist has SAN value. Even if Ban Ming Taoist is a tourist, he will be affected by mental pollution, but his condition should be better than Wei Xun.

After all, due to team leader assessment task restrictions, Wei Xun's SAN value could only reach a maximum of 50 points. Now it has been hovering around 30.

Is it a problem caused by low SAN?

The tip of Wei Xun's tongue pressed against the drop of purified royal jelly, and the hot, sour and salty taste came through. Wei Xun's mind cleared, and his SAN value suddenly returned to 50. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. In a daze, some extremely inconspicuous and twisted shadows seemed to appear around him.

"arrive."

But before Wei Xun could take a closer look, the passage had reached the end. It looked like a natural cavity in front of him, which was completely supported by a huge warm jade door three meters wide and five meters high. This jade gate seems to be as high as the end, deep into the rock and soil above the head. Various complex formation patterns are drawn on it.

However, the Nuanyu Gate that was supposed to be unable to be opened had an extremely obvious crack in the lower left corner, which could allow one person to get through. Even the formations on the Jade Gate looked dull, and the Jade Gate was just like a broken stone gate.

If Taoist Ban Ming hadn't explained it in a low voice, Wei Xun wouldn't have recognized the rough and gray material as jade.

"This is Kunlun Warm Jade, produced hundreds of feet below the Kunlun Ice-Free Spring."

Taoist Ban Ming said solemnly, and when he got here he became completely serious. Holding the Sanmao Token in his hand, Taoist Ban Ming muttered something, as if he was solemnly performing three rituals like Yumen.

"Xiao Cui, it's dangerous ahead. It can be said that this is the most dangerous place in the entire journey. Even the next attraction, the Ming Tombs, will not be as scary as this one."

Taoist Ban Ming whispered: "Don't make a sound for a while... No matter what you see, don't make a sound."

"careful."

The ancestor of Yinshan is rarely serious: "Close your eyes, cover your ears, or even close your five senses. It's useless in front of the dragon bone and dragon soul. Don't try to find excuses, face it head on, there is still a glimmer of hope."

What they said was very serious. Wei Xun, who was serious, frowned and was a little nervous. He had the green title of strong resistance to resentment. The three of them prepared for each other, and finally, with Yinshan Ancestor in the lead, Taoist Half Life second, Wei Xun and Hong Zheng at the end of the team, they got in through the crack in the Nuanyu gate one by one.

"hiss--"

Entering Qianwei Xun, he seemed to hear the sound of the half-life Taoist who entered first taking a breath of air. This doesn't seem to be a good sign,

Behind the Nuanyu Gate, on the fifth floor of the underground palace. When Wei Xun held his breath and finally stood on the fifth floor of the underground palace, he found that in front of him was a cliff of at most half a meter. It was too close. It was so close that if a person ran through the Yumen, he might rush out.

The Yinshan Patriarch and Banming Taoist, one on the left and one on the right, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. Their figures were sluggish, like two stone statues.

"call--"

A dull exhale came from behind his ears. Wei Xun turned his head and looked at the red zombie, only to see it staring straight ahead. The stiff and red face was densely covered with a layer of black oily liquid. No, it's not long, it should be that the space inside Nuanyumen is filled with this disgusting stuff, covering the red and stiff face.

but--

Wei Xun no longer held his breath, he cautiously and tentatively smelled it.

Very fragrant, very fresh air. It makes people energetic, relaxed and happy, as if they are not deep in the earth, but wandering in the sea of ​​flowers. Unlike the dark fourth floor of the underground palace, the fifth floor of the underground palace is very bright. Several thick golden dragon-coiled pillars of unknown material stand high in the sky. The pillars are wrapped with strange beasts that look like dragons and dragons, holding lamps in their mouths.

The bright light and the majestic golden animal head strangely do not give people an eerie feeling. They are directly majestic and majestic, as if they are in a palace or temple.

"Chuck--cluck--"

Wei Xun heard the uncontrolled breath coming out of the throat of the Half-Life Taoist, which was a sound that could only be made when a person was extremely frightened. His face was distorted and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely incredible and terrifying.

But Wei Xun looked down from the cliff - it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of.

Wei Xun saw a clear underground spring, the spring water was blue. There were even green grass growing around it, and there were scattered animals like snow-white rabbits playing and laughing in the grass. The beauty was simply not like deep underground.

By the spring, there was a golden little dragon coiled, and its golden tail tip was immersed in the spring water, which was very beautiful. This golden dragon and a white dragon were intimately entangled together, very intimate.

However, Wei Xun knew that what he saw might be an illusion.

[SAN value: 10 points]

The moment Wei Xun looked at the bottom of the pit, his SAN value plummeted by 40 points!

Not only that -
