Chapter 190 The Secret of the High Priest
After pushing open the stone door and walking a dozen steps forward, there is another stone door.
There was also a thick layer of dust on the stone gate.

Push open the stone door.

What came into view was an empty temple, which was closed, so there was no dust. No totem statues were found in the temple.

Nangong Ning's face turned pale:
"Friend Fu, we are in trouble. Without the protection of the totem, we will definitely not survive tonight."

stunned for a moment.

Nangong Ning immediately turned around and walked back.

While walking, he said:

"Friend Fu, hurry up. We have to rush back to Qiushan Village before it gets completely dark and find a place to hide for the night."

Fu Shaoping witnessed Qiushan Village's hatred towards outsiders.

and.

Since the high priest can use the power of the totem, they might be caught as soon as they return. Fu Shaoping looked up and estimated the distance, shaking his head and said:

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, it's less than half an hour until it gets completely dark. It's too late."

Nangong Ning paused.

She had already reached the main entrance and looked up at the sky. The gray sky had already darkened, and her face couldn't help but become even paler.

Look back.

But Fu Shaoping was seen looking for something carefully in the temple.

Generally speaking.

In the temple.

Generally, villagers will set up escape shelters.

Nangong Ning's eyes lit up and hope was rekindled. She quickly reached out and closed the stone door with a loud bang. She quickly returned to the temple without saying anything else and began to look for a possible entrance to the shelter with Fu Shaoping.

As time passes by.

The two searched the entire temple front and back no less than ten times.

But still nothing was found.

at this time.

The sky began to darken.

Nangong Ning had finally escaped a disaster, she didn't want to die:

"Friend Fu, what should we do?"

Fu Shaoping sighed. At this point, he would have to use up his second fate attribute point to find the entrance to the shelter. Second fate attribute points were hard to come by.

He currently only has two points left.

Therefore.

Before using.

He still asked:
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, can the strangeness you mentioned be able to see through the invisibility cloak?"

talking.

Fu Shaoping waved his sleeves.

A breeze blew.

He put on the invisibility cloak and his entire figure disappeared in an instant.

Nangong Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Friend Fu, the invisibility cloak is useful for humans, but monsters don't identify us through vision, so it's useless for us to put on the invisibility cloak."

Nangong Ning sat on the ground dejectedly.

Once the darkness spread to the ruined temple, the two of them would have nowhere to hide.

I thought there would be light at the end of the tunnel, but I never expected that I would still die in the end.

Since the invisibility cloak was useless, Fu Shaoping simply said to himself:
"Ancestors' blessing!"

The moon in the chaotic space suddenly lit up, and the hazy moonlight fell on the Xuanming Treasure Mirror. The treasure mirror trembled slightly, and the crescent moon between the eyebrows became slightly hot.

A mysterious force guided him to the southwest corner.

The floor in the southwest corner was no different from the rest of the floor, but he still believed in the Xuanming Treasure Mirror. He bent his middle finger slightly and tapped it gently.

Dong dong dong

Fu Shaoping let out a light exclamation.

He knocked on the very fast stone slab beside him again.
I found that the feedback sound under my feet was a little crisp:
"found it!"

Fu Shaoping was excited.

At this time, Nangong Ning, who was originally sitting on the ground, also came over:
"Friend Fu, did you find anything?"

Nangong Ning had a cautious hope in her eyes and was very nervous, fearing that Fu Shaoping would shake his head.

Fu Shaoping didn't keep anyone in suspense.

In this dark heaven.

Nangong Ning obviously knew much more information than he did.

If he wants to leave this place alive in the next three months, he will have to rely on the other party for a little help.

So directly:

"There's something wrong with the floor under my feet. Fellow Daoist Nangong, can you move it over and take a look?"

Fu Shaoping took a step back.

If it is a trap.

When it is opened, there may be danger.

Nangong Ning's body stiffened, but the mechanism was found by Fu Shaoping, and her life was also saved by Fu Shaoping, so she hesitated for a moment, then bent down and hit the ground with her bare hands. Although she could not use her Yuanli now, her body had been tempered by Yuanli after all, so Nangong Ning's strength was still a bit greater than that of ordinary people.

A few punches.

The floor suddenly lifted up slightly.

After moving it away with bare hands.

A huge red slab of stone came into view:
"Friend Fu, this is indeed the entrance to the refuge!"

Nangong Ning was overjoyed.

He immediately sped up and uncovered the extremely fast stone slabs next to it one by one.

Seeing that there were no traps, Fu Shaoping also stepped forward to help. The last red stone slab, which was about thirty feet long, was completely exposed. The two of them took one side each, bent over and worked together to lift it up when a rustling sound was heard outside.

But when they were busy.

It was completely dark outside.

The rustling sound coming from his ears was like an evil ghost crying, or like an actress singing a song. It was neither human nor ghost. Fu Shaoping felt goose bumps all over his body.

Nangong Ning's face turned pale, and her voice trembled:
"Friend Fu, hurry up, use your strength, something strange is coming!"

late.

None of them will survive.

The two men shouted loudly and worked together to move the red slate away.

A passage shining with red light came into view.

“It really is a refuge!”

Nangong Ning was about to run to the passage below, but was grabbed by Fu Shaoping:
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, please move the red slab back to its original position first."

Nangong Ning was only thinking about escaping and forgot about this. The two of them worked together and moved the red stone slab back to its original position.

Just now.

Boom!
A loud noise came from above the stone slab.

The rustling sound was closer and clearer, as if it was ringing next to my ear.

Nangong Ning stepped back in fear:

"Friend Fu, hurry up, hurry up, the monster is up there!"

can not see.

But I can clearly sense their existence.

Fu Shaoping turned around and followed Nangong Ning towards the stone stairs in the passage. Halfway there, he looked back and saw that the sound of knocking on the stone slabs was becoming more and more frequent.

The red slate is also amazing.

It looks like it can be mashed in one circle.

But those strange things can't do anything.

If you look closely, you will find that the red stone slab is surrounded by a layer of faint red light. With this layer of red light, the strange attacks outside are like falling into cotton, and they cannot destroy the stone slab at all.

"Is this red light the power of the totem?"

Fu Shaoping narrowed his eyes slightly.

My interest was aroused.

But I don't know how powerful this totem is. If I can master it, I will have the power to protect myself in the Dark Emperor Heaven. Go down the long stone stairs.

Originally just a faint red light, it slowly began to become stronger.

while walking.

Fu Shaoping felt something was not right:
“Fellow Daoist Nangong!”

He called out to Nangong Ning who was in front of him.

After organizing his words, he said:

“Fellow Daoist Nangong, do you feel that this red light has an evil nature? What was the totem that Luoye Village worshipped before?”

It stands to reason.

The totem statue should be in the main hall.

Nuo shouldn't have been sent to the underground passage. The more Fu Shaoping thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Nangong Ning couldn't help but shudder when she was reminded of this. She swallowed her saliva and said:

"As far as I know, the totems worshipped by Minghuangtian are usually the embodiment of justice. Luoye Village is too old and it declined before I came here, so I don't know much about it. However, the totem worshipped by Qiushan Village is a three-headed jackdaw, and the power of the jackdaw is black light."

The power of black light is gentle.

The red light in front of you gives you a cold and murderous feeling.

Upon hearing this, Fu Shaoping immediately became extremely cautious. He shook his head and said:

“Fellow Daoist Nangong, since those monsters can’t come down, we don’t need to go down anymore. We can just stay here until dawn.”

Fu Shaoping was curious about what was hidden at the end of the long stone stairs, but now it was different from the past. He was just a mortal and could not use his energy. He could not even protect himself, so he had to be cautious.

Nangong Ning nodded immediately upon hearing this:
"Brother Fu is indeed thoughtful."

Nangong Ning immediately stopped, walked a few steps up, and got closer to Fu Shaoping.

The two sat down on the stone steps.

Soon.

Nangong Ning felt a gurgling sound coming from her stomach.

Mortal body.

Only after entering the Tianyuan realm can one practice fasting.

and.

Without the use of their energy, they would become hungry just like ordinary people. Nangong Ning's face showed a hint of unnaturalness.

Fu Shaoping reached his hand into his sleeve.

A thought.

He took two white breads from the chaotic space and handed one to Nangong Ning:
"Give."

These grains.

He prepared it in the chaotic space in advance.
Never thought.

It really came in handy at the critical moment.

Nangong Ning took the white flour bun and her nose felt sore. For so many years, she had been eating worse than pig food. Looking at the white flour bun in her hand, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions of sadness and joy:
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fu!"

Finished.

Nangong Ning began to eat it in small bites.

It's like eating some delicacies from the wild.

Ate half of it.

She hid the rest in her sleeves.

Fu Shaoping wanted to say that he had enough food in his store, but he was afraid of arousing suspicion. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything more, but said:
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, how about you guard the first half of the night and I'll guard the second half?"

"it is good!"

Nangong Ning naturally didn't say anything.

Fu Shaoping felt his eyelids drooping. He walked up a few steps, put on an invisibility cloak, and fell asleep in a half-awake state.

By the middle of the night.

He let Nangong Ning go to sleep, and he leaned against the wall, thinking about how to spend the next three months safely. If this underground passage was safe, he could completely avoid Nangong Ning and stay underground. Anyway, he had enough food on him, and when the time came, he could be teleported out smoothly.

But there was no way to find the Pure Yang Jade.

This meant he missed out on reaching the final.

This is one of them.

More importantly, he was still a little worried about his fiancée, Amy Yip, and the four members of his clan, Shao Hong and Shao Qing:

"We should go out and investigate tomorrow. If we can find Zimei and Shaoqing, that would be great. If not, then we should focus on finding the Pure Yang Jade."

Thinking like this.

As the last drop of the hourglass in the chaotic space fell, it meant that it was dawn, and Fu Shaoping woke up Nangong Ning.

Neither of them had any intention of exploring the end of the underground passage.

After coming up from the passage.

However, there was no mark left on the temple, as if the group of monsters that had been howling all night had never been there.

The two of them restored the passage to its original state.

Fu Shaoping said:

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, how about we go to the back hall to have breakfast before setting off?"

Nangong Ning had no objection. She took out half of the steamed bun left over from yesterday, ate half of it, and then put it away.

Fu Shaoping saw it and shook his head:
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you still have to fill your stomach, otherwise if you encounter an accident, you won't even have the strength to run away. We have a whole day today, and we should be able to find food."

Nangong Ning nodded quickly.

She used to go hungry every other day, so she was used to hiding food.

The two had breakfast.

Fu Shaoping put on the invisibility cloak and slept for a while. When he was drowsy, he was suddenly woken up by someone. Fu Shaoping opened the invisibility cloak, but saw Nangong Ning making a gesture to keep quiet and pointing towards the front hall.

Fu Shaoping listened attentively.

The sound of heavy footsteps was heard.

Different from the strange sound last night, it was the sound of a normal person walking, but the steps were heavy, as if he was carrying something:
"Could it be that the villagers of Qiushan Village discovered that I saved Nangong Ning and came to visit?"

Without saying a word, Fu Shaoping immediately opened his invisibility cloak and covered Nangong Ning as well.

The footsteps in front fell.

Subsequently.

Bang.

There was a sound like something heavy falling to the ground.

After a while.

The footsteps became brisk as they moved from the front hall to the back hall.

As the footsteps get closer.

Nangong Ning's nervous body trembled slightly. Fu Shaoping put his hand on her shoulder. Only then did Nangong Ning calm down and look out from the invisibility cloak.

But then a familiar face came into view.

It was the red-robed high priest of Qiushan Village.

Why did the other party come to this dilapidated temple?
There was a flash of doubt in Fu Shaoping's eyes.

The red-robed high priest glanced around the back hall, muttered something to himself, and turned to go to the front hall.

Fu Shaoping, who was hiding in the invisibility cloak, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party could not see through his figure. It seemed that the red-robed high priest was really as Nangong Ning said, and he could no longer call upon the totem power of Qiushan Village.

But why did the other party come to this dilapidated temple?

Fu Shaoping pointed to the screen in the back hall and asked Nangong Ning to hide behind it.

He tiptoed along the footsteps of the red-robed high priest to the front hall, and when he arrived at the front hall, he found that the red stone slabs of the underground passage had been moved away.

Fu Shaoping thought about it.

A slight jump.

Enter into the underground passage.

After walking a few steps downwards, he saw the red-robed high priest carrying someone on his back and walking underground. At first, he couldn't see clearly who it was, but when he got closer, he could recognize at a glance that it was Nangong Ning's mother-in-law.

The old woman was carried on her shoulders.

But he was snoring in his deep sleep.

Obviously.

This is drugged.

Fu Shaoping stopped and glanced at the dim red light. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to continue following or return immediately and leave the dilapidated temple.

　I wish you all a happy new year and good health!
