Chapter 214 Wait a moment
When Wan Feng said this, he looked around and saw that there were about twenty monks in the hall, only five were from Jiufu Sect, and the others were from Yuncheng Branch.
Although the number was small, Wan Feng's words reminded Yan Guang not to burn bridges across the river. Qingdi Valley was full of traps, even more so after going down to the underground palace. Without Wan Feng, the people at the helm of Yuncheng might not be able to move forward.
Yan Guang naturally understood and chuckled, "After we go down, we will have to rely on fellow Taoist Wan a lot. Don't worry, everyone will have a share in whatever treasure we find. Of course, you, fellow Taoist Wan, are indispensable."
As the two talked, their feet continued to vibrate, but the passage was still not opened. At the same time, the banging sounds in the direction of the door became more and more intensive.
Wan Feng released the petrification talisman, turning the wooden door into a stone wall, and the entire hall was sealed. The ghost-faced scorpions were supposed to be able to penetrate seamlessly, so they should disperse.
However, the ghost-faced flying scorpion was a second-level monster insect with considerable intelligence. It knew that its prey was behind the stone wall and could feast on it as long as it rushed in. Therefore, it drove other ghost-faced scorpions to pile up in a dense manner and attack the stone door transformed by the magic talisman.
Since there were no monks to stop them outside, the Ghost-Faced Scorpions gathered in large numbers. Countless claws and claws fell down like raindrops. The stone wall was filled with rubble, and the clear light overflowed, rising and disappearing. However, the Ghost-Faced Scorpions attacked too fiercely, and the clear light dimmed in a moment. A lot.
Wan Feng was originally quite calm, but now he couldn't help but look nervous again. He kept urging in his heart, "Damn mechanism! Open it quickly, open it quickly!".
However, the rumbling sound under the feet continued, and the four groups of hexagrams on the stone platform were fully lit, but the passage was not opened.
Yan Guang also noticed something was wrong and said anxiously, "Fellow Taoist Wan, this stone wall can't hold up anymore." Mu San, a man in green clothes next to him, said, "It's strange, the fossilized wall behind this wooden door is the same as the surrounding walls. , How come the Ghost-faced Scorpion is so smart that it only attacks the stone door and not the stone wall next to it? "
Wan Feng said, "It's not that the Ghost-faced Scorpion is smart. It's that when the Jinque Sect built the palace, they added medicinal powder to the building materials, specifically to drive away Yin beasts. However, the stone wall that my talisman is transformed into has no medicine. The Ghost-Faced Scorpion has a keen sense of smell, so it is specially designed to drive away Yin beasts." Pick my stone wall to attack."
Yan Guang saw that the clear light had dimmed a bit, and said anxiously, "Stop talking about this. Fellow Taoist Wan, please add another magic talisman quickly, this wall will soon be undefendable."
Wan Feng shook his head, "This is a third-level high-grade spiritual talisman, and Wan only has one."
The monks nearby were relieved after the stone talisman showed its power and blocked the temple door. They gathered in front of the shrine, preparing to escape when the passage was opened. But the passage has not been opened, and the door is crumbling.
If the ghost-faced scorpion were to rush in, it would be a disaster. This time, without waiting for Yan Guang's urging, all the monks gathered around the door again, each using their magical weapons. As soon as the ghost-faced scorpion broke through the wall, they all started to attack together. It blocks the door.
Yan Guang said again, "Fellow Taoist Wan, the current situation is such that we can't even wait for a moment. If you have any special skills for packing boxes, please come up with it as soon as possible."
Wan Feng thought to himself, no one has one or two trump cards, but why don't you show them out? You want me to work hard. He smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, I didn't know that I would encounter such a situation, and I was not prepared in advance. I wonder if your Fire Crow Cauldron can be used again?"
There are actually two petrification talismans in his storage bag, but these talismans are worth a lot of money. If you throw one out, three thousand crystals will be gone. How can it not cause him heartache.
He stared closely at the petrified wall at the door, thinking in his mind that he would never use these two petrified talismans until it was a matter of life and death.
The ghost-faced scorpions outside the hall were still attacking fiercely. Everyone in the hall was holding their breath and their nerves were tense. They saw that the clear light on the stone wall was almost completely dim. In less than ten breaths, the stone wall would be broken. Yan Guang shouted, "Everyone ……..”
Before he finished speaking, the buzzing vibration suddenly stopped. The stone hexagram diagram flashed with inspiration, and the green brick floor behind the shrine suddenly sank, revealing a one-foot-square hole. In the hole, rows of spiral steps could be vaguely seen. Extend downward.
Wan Feng shouted, "The passage is open," and as he spoke, he rushed in with a single stride. Almost at the same time, Yan Guang also flashed and rushed into the passage.
The monks in the hall suddenly became confused and rushed toward the passage. At this time, it was important to escape, who could care about blocking the ghost-faced scorpion?
The passage spiraled all the way down and was actually dozens of feet deep. Wan Feng ran wildly and took out the moonstone from his storage bag. The surroundings suddenly became bright. In the bright light, he could see that there were green stone walls on both sides of the passage, covered with moss.
Wanfeng rushed all the way, and suddenly a cave entrance appeared in front of him, but he reached the end of the passage.
He hurriedly stopped, but Yan Guang behind him didn't know what was going on and bumped into him. Wan Feng couldn't stand and staggered out. He was startled, and his energy flew up subconsciously, and his whole body was suspended in the air.
But when he lowered his head and looked, he was convinced that the exit of the passage was opened on the wall, only five or six feet above the ground. Wan Feng breathed a sigh of relief and landed firmly on the ground.
The next moment, Yan Guang also fell down. The two of them didn't care to talk. They both held the moonstone in their hands and looked at the surrounding environment.
The two of them were standing in a palace that was not too big at the moment. The room was six feet high, and the four walls above their heads were made of black boulders. There were six stone statues standing in the middle of the hall. Other than that, there was nothing else. things.
The exit of the passage is located on the west wall of the main hall.
When Yan Guang and Wanfeng looked around, the monks above were already pouring down.
Some monks did not expect that this passage was suspended in the air, and were caught off guard, falling directly onto the black stone floor. Fortunately, it was only five or six feet high, so there was no serious problem.
Yan Guang asked, "What is this place?" He pointed to the palace door on the left and said, "Where does it lead?"
Wan Feng said, "I don't know, but I can be sure that we have descended to the first floor of the underground palace."
There are no air restrictions on the surface of Qingdi Valley, but there are no restrictions on the underground palace. Wan Feng could transport his power just now, so naturally he had reached the first floor of the underground palace.
Yan Guang nodded and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, "They broke through the gate."
Although they have descended to the first floor of the underground palace, they are only a few dozen feet away from the unknown temple above their heads. The spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monks can cover two or three miles. Naturally, what happens at such a small distance cannot be escaped. Guang Wanfeng’s divine thoughts.
In the temple above that was dedicated to a dog-like and leopard-like monster, the petrification talisman on the door had completely exhausted its power. With a bang, rocks and wood chips flew away, and the giant scorpion had broken through the door and rushed in.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of ghost-faced scorpions poured in and quickly filled the entire temple.
It is said that the entrance to the passage behind the shrine is about one foot in diameter, and even a mortal can see it clearly. However, the eyesight of ghost-faced scorpions is extremely weak, and they cannot see the entrance so close to them at all.
However, the ghost-faced scorpion has a very sensitive sense of smell. The passage is only forty or fifty feet long. The breath of the human race below floats up from time to time. The ghost-faced scorpion near the entrance of the cave smells it and immediately paddles its six limbs and crawls down the spiral passage.
As soon as these ghost-faced scorpions fell from the wall passage to the ground, the monks guarding the side immediately used their swords to smash the demon scorpions into several pieces.
After the ghost-faced scorpion died, Yan Guang picked up the copper rod, smashed the demon scorpion's tail hook off, and put it into his bag. He collected more than a dozen scorpions, but didn't give any to Wan Feng.
Wan Feng cursed in his heart and said, "Fellow Taoist Yan, you can't stay here for a long time. There will be more and more demon scorpions after smelling the smell."
Yan Guang laughed loudly, "Fellow Taoist Wan, don't worry. We have arrived at the underground palace now and can fly with weapons. Are you still afraid of these stupid scorpions?"
Wan Feng snorted coldly, "Fellow Daoist Yan, don't forget that we are still in a stone palace now. Once all the ghost-faced scorpions rush down and surround us, you will be in trouble if you want to leave. Why not hurry up before the demonic insects gather in large numbers?" slip."
As he was speaking, someone beside him said, "Uncle Wan, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave at this time! Why not wait a little longer!"
Yan Guang glanced sideways and saw that the person speaking was the qi-refining disciple from Jiufu Sect who was desperately trying to escape. He couldn't help but sneered, "Fellow Taoist Wan, your disciples are so arrogant. A qi-refining disciple actually started giving orders to us." ”
Wan Feng said calmly, "He was just talking to Wan. How dare he give orders to fellow Taoist Yan. Shi Qi, what do you have to say?"
Shi Qi was a little embarrassed, "My disciple just thought that the big scorpion can fly. Although the small scorpion can't fly, it can teleport along with the yin energy. The speed is not slow. If we run away, they will definitely pursue us." "
The man in green, Mu San, said, "That's nonsense! Ghost-faced scorpions teleport only on the ground. We are flying with weapons. What are we afraid of them doing?"
Wan Feng muttered, "No, no, what Shi Qi said makes sense. Yin beasts can communicate with each other through special channels. Once those ghost-faced flying scorpions follow us, they will most likely attract other Yin beasts on the first floor of the underground palace. If Here comes a group of ghost-faced flying scorpions, or other second-level Yin beasts..."
Everyone shuddered after hearing this.
Yan Guang was very unhappy, "What should we do? Do we have to kill all the ghost-faced scorpions above to be safe?"
Wan Feng suddenly slapped his thigh, "Silly! I was so flustered that I just thought about running away. How could I forget this?"
"What?"
"Fellow Daoist Yan, didn't I say before that all entrances to the underground palace are subject to change, and there is a time limit for opening each entrance. Each time is only half an hour. We only need to seal the passage exit for a moment, and when the time is up, The channel is naturally closed.”
Yan Guang was dubious, "Are you serious?"
Wan Feng said, "It is true as recorded in the sect's classics. Fellow Taoist Wan, if we escape at this time, you and I will still have to face the constant pursuit of the scorpion tide. Why not give it a try. It won't take long anyway."
"How long will it take?" Yan Guang snorted, "A moment's delay may mean life or death. Okay, I'll believe you for once, but if that's not the case then, hey, then who proposed to stay in the first place? Coming down..." He glanced at Shi Feng with a fierce look in his eyes.
There was a surge of anger in Shi Feng's heart. He had found the organ hexagram before and now reminded him kindly. He just didn't want to see everyone die miserably. He didn't expect that Yan Guang would be so arrogant and domineering!
Speaking of which, Yan Guang and himself had some grudges in the past. At the Yuncheng auction, Yan Guang and Zhang Fashan were in charge of hosting it. When the thunderstorm beast bones were photographed, Shi Feng and the monk surnamed Zhou from the Hundred Beasts Sect competed to bid. In the end, The animal bones were purchased by Shi Feng.
When Shi Feng stood up to leave, he was stopped by Yan Guang, who insisted that Shi Feng wait until the auction was over before he could leave. As a result, after the auction ended and Shi Feng left, he was immediately followed and hunted by the monk surnamed Zhou.
When Shi Feng thought about this, he understood that Yan Guang was ordered by the monk surnamed Zhou to deliberately not allow him to leave. However, Shi Feng did not want to take revenge on Yan Guang at that time. After all, he was pretending to be a casual cultivator at the time, and the Nine Alliance It's just a small sect, and it doesn't dare to offend the Hundred Beasts Sect. It's uncontrollable to be coerced and bullied as a "loose cultivator".
But now it seems that this Yan Guang is greedy and despicable. The monk surnamed Zhou may not have coerced him, but "induced" this Yan Guang with a few crystal stones to conspire against him.
Thinking of this, Shi Feng felt murderous intent in his heart. But he didn't show anything on the outside, he just stood behind Wan Feng in an orderly manner.
Led by Yan Guang and Wan Feng, two mid-stage foundation-building cultivators, the crowd spread out in a fan shape, stood in front of the stone wall, and attacked the falling ghost-faced scorpions.
At first, only a few ghost-faced scorpions came down, and more than 20 cultivators used their magic weapons to kill them on the spot.
This lasted for about an incense stick of time, and everyone felt quite relaxed and comfortable.
But the good times didn't last long. More and more ghost-faced scorpions smelled the breath of living people below and rushed down one after another, especially the second-level flying scorpion, which finally pounced down.
Yan Guang and Wan Feng tried their best to intercept the giant scorpion. Neither of them was willing to use their trump cards, and they were in a stalemate with the giant scorpion for a while, and had no time to take care of other things. On both sides of the passage, those small ghost-faced scorpions rushed out one after another, and fell like rain.
As soon as these ghost-faced scorpions fell to the ground, Mu San and other cultivators tried their best to surround and kill them, not daring to let the demon scorpions tear their formation apart.
While resisting, Yan Guang's eyes flickered as he looked for a way to retreat. Seeing that the ghost-faced scorpions were piling up on the ground, Mu San was sweating profusely. They probably couldn't hold on for much longer, so he shouted, "Brother, this is not a solution. Let's go quickly."
Yan Guang cursed, "You bastard, you're wasting your uncle's time!" It was unclear whether he was scolding Wan Feng or Shi Qi.
At this moment, Wan Feng shouted, "Look!"
There was a continuous rumbling sound, and a clear light appeared at the entrance of the wall passage. In the shining light, the entrance of the passage gradually closed. In just five or six breaths, the exit completely disappeared. In front of them was a dark stone wall, and there was no trace of the passage.
The cultivators were overjoyed to have escaped death, and they were all in a state of great spiritual formation. With magic staffs, flying knives, bronze maces, fire snakes, and all kinds of magic and magical powers, they killed the remaining twenty or thirty ghost-faced scorpions on the ground one by one.
Of course, the tail hooks of these ghost-faced scorpions were taken by Yan Guang without hesitation.
After the entrance of the passage was closed, the hall was quiet for a while.
Just an hour ago, everyone encountered two groups of Yin beasts in succession. They were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.
Only five people were left out of the eleven people in Jiufu Sect, and four people died in Yuncheng Branch, including the two people who were thrown into the scorpion group by Yan Guang.
Everyone panted and looked at each other, as if they were in another world. Some people were exhausted and simply sat on the ground.
After a long time, Yan Guang said, "Haha, we finally got rid of these disgusting bugs, and we successfully entered the underground palace. Wan Daoyou, take a look, are there any treasures in this hall?"
