Chapter 273 (1/2)
At this time, in a brightly lit stone hall, a thin young male monk was surprised to see hundreds of jade slips in front of him. One of them was dark, and the spirit machine on it had disappeared completely.
He hesitated for a moment and immediately realized that it was a big deal. Jane went up and down the stairs in a hurry. After a while, he entered a larger hall. In the hall, there is a jade slip fixed in the center, which emits bright light, showing the whole picture of a huge and complex cave like a cobweb.
The cave is not fixed. There are still many light spots at the end of many blind ends. These blind ends, like plants growing, are slowly deriving.
An old man with white hair and a dark face was sitting under the light curtain, looking at every part of the cave.
”Elder Xing, it seems that someone has invaded the bottom of the lake...”
Xing Changlao seems to be concentrating on something. He interrupts him suddenly, his eyes are horizontal, and his mood is quite uncomfortable. But if someone goes to the bottom of the lake rashly, it's a big problem for them.
The great lake in the dark cave is called the lake of hunger and immortality. The name doesn't mean that if you live in this lake, you will never die of hunger. It's because there are countless fish like hungry ghosts in the lake. These hungry ghosts devour each other every day, but after being engulfed, they are immediately reincarnated in the lake water. In this way, they are suffering from hunger for generations, so they are named ”hungry never die”.
On the surface, the nether cave was only used to build the transmission array, and was operated by the Su family of cloud heaven. But in fact, for hundreds of years, one of the lineal forces of the five elements sect has been lurking in this cave.
Although it is said that the Ming cave is the property of the five elements sect, they have never disclosed its existence. In addition, there are many cracks in the space around the cave, and no one knows how many underground passages lead to it. Therefore, they should always be on guard against foreign invasion.
”Take a look at the jade slips.” Elder Xing extended his hand.
The most important thing for them is the lake of hunger. But the lake is vast, stretching for tens of miles. And it is divided into many parts by the rocks under the ground, and many parts are only accessible underwater. Because of their limited manpower, it was impossible for them to send people to defend them everywhere, so they set up many magic weapons called ”hanging eyes” at the bottom of the lake. These magic weapons are like an eye, which can see the surrounding scenes, sense the dexterity, and roughly know the strength of the incoming enemy.
I didn't expect that the thin disciple hesitated for a moment and did not hand over the jade slips, but said, ”there is no image now. It seems that the hanging eye has been removed. ”
”Be bold! Some people dare to take off the hanging eyes of my five element sect? Is it the monk of the Wang family who has no brain again? ” Elder Xing was furious.
There are bright cloth and dark cloth. On each hanging eye of the Ming cloth, there is an aura of the sect. If it is marked here, it means that this place belongs to our clan and no outsiders are allowed to enter. It's not expensive, and it's a disposable artifact. Once it's removed, it can't be arranged again. If someone takes it, and it's not unintentional, it's intentional provocation.
In Xing Changlao's consciousness, there is no such thing as daring to directly challenge the existence of wuxingzong.
The bottom of the lake is under their control, but the patrol on the lake is in charge of the royal family of yuntiancheng. After Wang canghuang found the way to get in and out of the hell cave, the five element sect allowed the Wangs to build a special hall by the lake of hungry immortality, in which the Xuanyin Qi of the acupoint was used to condense Xuanyin pills as income.
The price the Wangs paid for this was that, in addition to being absolutely secret, they were also responsible for patrolling and defending the lake. Once they found any outsiders entering, they would kill them!
However, in history, there have also been cases in which the children of the Wang family went to the bottom of the lake when they were practicing in the Ming cave, and the magic tools they controlled rubbed and destroyed the five element sect. The consequence, of course, was that the children of the Wang family were severely punished and their magic weapons were confiscated.
”It's not like the clothes of the Wangs...” At that time, the young disciple didn't see it clearly. However, he was definitely not the clothes of Wang's children. ”It was a male monk who built a double foundation and wore a gray robe. Unfortunately, the disciple didn't see it very clearly, so his eyes were taken off.”
”How dare you rush into the dark cave? Li Chongxiu, you should take care of it yourself. As for your responsibility of monitoring, I will let he Shuchun take your place for one day. ”
