Chapter 137 Portal

Chapter 137 Portal
The disciples of Luochen Villa also woke up from their dreams at this time, and their brains were unable to react.

When this person appeared earlier, everyone present was shocked.

Just by looking at his body movements, you can tell that this is definitely a hard point and will definitely be very prickly.

And that one needle, with its sonic killing power alone, made several disciples suffer from excruciating pain.

I thought that they had both the leader Si Ye and the mysterious Third Young Master on their side.

Even though this battle is difficult, it won't be a real loss...

Who could have thought that such a powerful master could be destroyed just like that?

They were meditating under the Mengbi tree, and when they heard Chu Qing's words, they came to their senses, rolled up their sleeves, and happily came over as if it was New Year's Day, and tied up the master.

The so-called "four horses with their hooves tied up" is just like tying up a pig when slaughtering it during the Chinese New Year. The four hooves are tied together, and a wooden stick is passed through the middle, and two people can carry it.

This man's spine was shattered by Chu Qing's punch. It would be difficult to lift him if he wasn't tied up like this.

As for the move, what kind of suffering will he have to endure?

Then no one cares.

If he is not a bad person, who cares about his life or death?
Two disciples from Luochen Villa happily lifted the man up.

I know that this master is definitely a big one. With such martial arts skills, he can't be a small figure.

It is naturally worth being happy about such a fruitful harvest.

Chu Qing waved his hand:

"Si Ye, take them back first and hide them carefully. Don't reveal any traces.

"I'll make a decision after I get back."

Si Ye nodded and agreed:

"Yes, son."

After finishing speaking, he asked hesitantly:
"You are going to..."

"There's something I want to try, you don't need to bother with it."

Chu Qing patted Si Ye's shoulder.

Si Ye nodded:

"Then be careful, sir."

"Don't worry."

Watching Si Ye and the disciples of Luochen Villa leave, Chu Qing and Wenrou were the only ones left here.

After looking at each other, Chu Qing smiled:
"Can we follow his scent and see where he came from?"

"can."

Wenrou nodded without any hesitation.

Then he led Chu Qing and walked in one direction.

But in just a moment, the two of them circled the original ambush circle for a long time...

It was only at this moment that Chu Qing and Wen Rou realized that this guy was not late, but had been observing the situation for a while in advance.

Only after making sure that there were no experts did he step into the encirclement.

After passing this area of ​​chaotic smell, the road becomes more remote and rugged as we go deeper into the area.

This place is outside Luochen Villa. The mountain roads are complicated and the fallen leaves in late autumn are scattered all over the forest, making it difficult to walk on the rugged terrain.

Gentleness is a deep step and a shallow step, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

Especially now that it was night, she would occasionally step on fallen leaves, but underneath were broken rocks, and her body would twist. Fortunately, her lightness skills were quite good, so she could adjust her body in time, otherwise she would have twisted her foot or fallen down.

Seeing that she was having difficulty walking, Chu Qing simply pulled her wrist:

"Give me some direction."

She glanced at Chu Qing gently, her clear eyes reflecting Chu Qing's figure. She suddenly took a deep breath, turned her head, and pointed in a direction.

Chu Qing used the Feixu Qingyan skill, and Wenrou felt her body lighten, and the two figures flew away.

After Wenrou came to her senses, she quickly pointed in another direction.

Even so, with her leading the way and Chu Qing guiding her, the speed and efficiency were doubled.

During the action, Chu Qing asked Wenrou curiously whether she had ever come to these places to play when she was a child.
Wenrou looked at Chu Qing with eyes that were not gentle at all, but very clear:

"I went to Taiyi Gate a long time ago. My father wouldn't let me run around the mountains even though I was only a few years old."

After all, she is the eldest daughter of Luochen Villa, not the daughter of a mountain hunter. How could she possibly wander around the mountains?
Chu Qing smiled silently and said no more.

After nearly an incense stick of time, the two finally arrived at a strange and hidden place.

The end of the gently pointed path is between dense trees.

Hidden among the trees is a cave.

Chu Qing asked Wenrou to follow him and stepped into the cave first.

Circulate the Mingyu Sutra in your ears and eyes to increase the power of your ears and eyes, and move forward along the path in the cave. The road then goes steeply downwards.

The further Chu Qing and Wen Rou walked, the more familiar the road looked.

It was surprisingly the same as the cave in the Wen family’s forbidden area, both of which led to entering the hollow mountain through a cave.

Then go down along the criss-crossing paths in the mountain and along the layers of caves.

We descended to a very low altitude... and then followed the smell forward, but what we saw was not a stone forest.

Instead, it is a portal that was obviously repaired by humans.

There is a stone tablet in front of the gate, with the words: Heaven's Secret Maze!

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou:
"Can it be done?"

"can!"

A gentle answer is always straightforward.

As far as formations were concerned, both of them knew nothing about it, but they followed the man's scent to get here, and they could naturally rely on the scent to guide them through the formation.

This is what Chu Qing asked.

In order to prevent any accidents within the maze that might cause the two to get separated, Wenrou suggested that Chu Qing continue to hold her wrist.

After Chu Qing nodded, Wenrou continued to lead the way and took Chu Qing into the maze.

There is a path to the left after entering the door. It is quite narrow and can barely accommodate two people.

After taking a few steps forward, I suddenly heard the sound of a machine running.

Chu Qing frowned slightly. He had a strong sense and knew that there was a change in the formation.

"Be careful. The path we just took should have disappeared. This maze... was created by Master Tianji. It uses mechanisms to assist the formation. Once you step into it, you will trigger the mechanisms, which will adjust the maze terrain and change the original path...

“The smell may also be shifted as a result.”

Chu Qing reminded in a low voice.

She glanced at him gently:
"Follow me."

Ignoring these changes, Wenrou led Chu Qing forward.

Every time you walk a short distance, there will be a change under your feet.

It seemed as if the entire maze was located on a huge turntable, and everything on it was controlled by mechanisms, which adjusted as people entered deeper.

But Wenrou acted without any hesitation, even though there was clearly no way forward. But when the two of them reached the end of the passage, the wall would naturally move away, revealing a new path.

Chu Qing walked along like this, and he didn't know where he was.

Suddenly, he gently pulled her gentle hand:
"Someone."

Nodded gently:

"I smell it, it's my dad." Chu Qing was stunned, then nodded:

"That makes sense."

When Chu Qing arrived at this mysterious formation, he thought of the map that the old beggar had given him.

Thirteen paths are drawn one by one above.

Judging from the two paths that have been discovered so far, there may be a formation in each path.

This means that the person who had previously contacted Lingfei came from Tianji Valley.

Wen Fusheng and Wen Pingce have been monitoring the movements in Tianji Valley today. Any unusual movements in Tianji Valley will hardly escape Wen Fusheng's eyes.

It makes sense that he caught up and ended up getting trapped in this formation.

It can be heard that Wen Fusheng is not moving very fast, and seems to be groping in the formation.

And considering his martial arts skills, it must have been intentional to make such a noise.

Wenrou kept walking, and in just a moment, the corridor in front of them changed, and Wen Fusheng's figure appeared in front of Chu Qing and Wenrou.

As soon as they met, it seemed as if thousands of stars appeared behind Wen Fusheng, and in an instant they gathered into a finger. The wind from the finger was condensing, causing the entire formation to tremble.

But before he could point it out, his face was already filled with astonishment:
"Is it you?"

"...Master Wen, where in life can we not meet each other?"

Chu Qing smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here by chance."

I happened to meet you.

Wen Fusheng's face darkened, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Chu Qing holding Wenrou's wrist.

His face suddenly turned darker:

"Why did you come here?"

Chu Qing felt that there seemed to be some resentment in his words. He followed his gaze and immediately realized what was going on. He quickly let go of his hand:

"We set up an ambush at night and caught the man. We followed his scent."

After the two chatted for a few minutes, they already understood what was going on.

Wen Fusheng was indeed chasing after that person because he had discovered something.

However, he was proficient in formations and wanted to crack the mystery. However, the formation was not just a formation. It was combined with mechanisms and he was trapped inside.

I struggled for a long time but couldn't get out.

Later, when he found someone coming in, he thought it was the man who had just left and came back, so he deliberately made the noise to make him notice it. His purpose was to lure him over, wanting to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and help himself escape.

But unexpectedly, the person who came was not that person, but Chu Qing and Wenrou.

Wen Fusheng pulled Wenrou to his side:
"There really are people in Tianji Valley. According to what you said, the ones acting under the name of Niejingtai are also them... Tianxie Cult?"

"Let's go out first."

Chu Qing looked around:

"There's nothing much to say outside, so we still have to go inside."

She nodded gently and reached out to hold Chu Qing's hand again.

But Wen Fusheng held him down:
"Silly girl, why are you pulling him? What kind of martial arts does he have? There's no way he can't keep up with us."

Wenrou looked at her father expressionlessly, turned around and walked straight forward.

Wen Fusheng turned around and glared at Chu Qing fiercely, "What a bastard, what a hateful boy. He said he was innocent with his daughter, but he actually bullied her in the dark room and was pulling her strings." What kind of nonsense is that?

Chu Qing was speechless when he saw it. This place has a strange formation, and I don't know anything about it. I rely on gentleness to get along. What's wrong with pulling it? It's obviously you, old man. Everything is dirty when your mind is dirty. Why do you blame me?

They exchanged glances and had an inexplicable fight.

Wenrou led the two people, one old and one young, with big strides. In a moment, they were out of the maze and came to a winding cave.

The three people looked at each other.

Chu Qing spoke first:
"Master Wen, do you plan to go with us, or continue to watch over there?"

"I'll go with you!"

Wen Fusheng didn't hesitate at all.

It was true that he had wanted to bring Chu Qing and Wen Rou together before, but Chu Qing rejected him decisively, so he gave up the idea for the time being.

It turns out that this kid said one thing in public and another behind his back.

In his opinion, this clearly shows that the person just wants to take advantage and does not want to take responsibility.

How could he let his daughter and this little fox act alone?
My daughter is simple and cute, and she is ignorant of the world.

How can I be a match for this little fox? I was eaten up by him and I still have to speak well of him!
When Wen Fusheng thought of this possibility, his scalp went numb and he was on guard against Chu Qing as if he were guarding against a wolf.

Although Chu Qing felt puzzled, he did not say much.

The person's scent was still there, so naturally, he let Wenrou continue to lead the way.

However, with Chu Qing and Wen Fusheng guarding on each side, the three of them acted quite bravely.

Walking out of this winding cave, there is an open area in front of you. Standing here, you can see the gate of Tianji Valley from afar.

Chu Qing looked around and soon locked onto the spot where he had previously talked with the old beggar.

But looking up from below, that half-cliff is too inconspicuous and completely blends into the surrounding scenery. If you didn't know it in advance, you would just glance over it and not pay any attention to it.

"There's no one outside the gate. The man came from that direction."

Wen Fusheng pointed his finger:
"It's just that I looked around, but I didn't find anything."

Chu Qing looked at Wenrou.

Nodding gently:
"The smell is definitely coming from over there. Let's go take a look."

The three of them used their Qing Kung Fu to cross the open space in front of them. Wen Pingce, who was still monitoring and listening to Wen Fusheng's orders, looked confused.

Why did the eldest brother go alone and three others come back?
But he did not abandon his post. His eldest brother asked him to monitor here, and he would not leave without his eldest brother's order.

Under Wenrou's guidance, Chu Qing and Wen Fusheng came to a mountain wall.

Walking along the mountain wall, we soon heard the sound of gurgling water.

In a moment, a small waterfall appeared in front of the three people.

This waterfall is hidden among the trees.

Wenrou looked at the waterfall and said:

“The taste is in the waterfall…”

Wen Fusheng nodded:
"It turns out there is another cave!"

Chu Qing was a little puzzled. Wouldn’t the man’s clothes get wet if he passed by the waterfall?
Or does it mean that every time I pass by here, I have to use my internal energy to dry my clothes?
It's not too much trouble...

Without much thought, the three of them carefully entered the waterfall.

There was indeed a narrow gap in the waterfall that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. One had to get close and look carefully to see it. If the angle was slightly wrong, it would be difficult to detect.

Wen Fusheng volunteered to go in first.

The second one is Wenrou, and Chu Qing is the last one to come.

After crossing the narrow gap of the waterfall, the view in front of us suddenly opened up and we stepped into a cave.

The space of this cave is not too big. At first glance, there is no way forward as it is completely blocked by stone walls.

Wenrou approached and sniffed, then pointed at the stone wall where no traces could be seen and said:

"The smell disappears here. There might be a mechanism."

The three of them immediately began searching around the wall. Not long after, Chu Qing's hand touched a protruding stone. He shook it slightly and it actually moved.

As it turned, there was a cracking sound, and a piece of the stone wall suddenly collapsed, revealing a...

Keyhole?
