Chapter 311 Underground Village
Chapter 311 Underground Village
The ground was shaking violently, but the cold air coming out of the ground made Mei Xiangu a little hesitant.
She knew that the male corpse must have found the real evil spirit underground and used the invisible seal on it.
According to her estimation, even if the evil spirit was not dead, it was probably half dead.
Now is the perfect time to step forward and reap the spoils.
Isn't it just to harvest the evil spirits that we fight to the death?
"Tian Lin, how are you now?"
Fairy Mei turned her head and looked at Tian Lin who was recuperating under the Goddess Tree.
Tian Lin stood up and said calmly, "Except for the backlash from my use of the Great Sun Art, nothing serious happened. But I don't recommend going deep underground to avoid encountering evil spirits."
"So, just sit there and watch? Or, burn some incense and leave the secret realm?"
Mei Xiangu wanted to go underground to take a look, but she was worried about Tian Lin.
It’s not that she was particularly good to Tian Lin, it was just that if Tian Lin died, it would be difficult for her to survive.
"Why don't we wait here for a while and wait for Senior Brother Xiao to come up and ask him about the situation—"
As soon as Tian Lin finished speaking, the female corpse over there had already retracted her magical powers.
I don’t know what material the female corpse’s court dress was made of. After she had retracted her magical powers and restored her beauty, the court dress also became extremely clean.
Her voice was a little cold: "If you two don't go down, then I will go down first."
After saying this, the female corpse turned into a shadow and crawled into the crack.
The crack created by the explosion in the valley was more than one person wide, but unfortunately it was pitch black and nothing could be seen below.
Mei Xiangu thought about it, looked at Tian Lin who was determined, and finally gave up.
Although she felt that this was a rare opportunity, she was also worried that something might happen to Tian Lin and that would implicate her.
"I think, even if there are any remaining souls, they must have been wiped out by the couple. Instead of staying here, we might as well burn some incense and leave!"
Tian Lin took out incense sticks from the storage bag. These incense sticks were used to worship the ancestors of the Wendao Sect, and were also a way for the disciples of the Wendao Sect to leave the secret realm.
"Tian Lin, the outer disciple of the Taoism sect Hulushan, please——"
Just as Tian Linqingzi finished speaking, several wood whiskers suddenly sprang out from the cracks in the ground.
The wood beard directly swept away the incense stick inserted in the ground, and two or three more wood beards attacked Mei Xiangu and Tian Lin.
Incense sticks are actually not that precious, but Tian Lin was unable to dodge in such a hurry and was directly pulled into the crack.
By the time Mei Xiangu blocked Mu Xu's attack on her, Tian Lin had already been pulled into the ground.
"What's going on? This evil spirit has become stronger?"
Fairy Mei's face changed drastically, and she raised her hand and waved at the Goddess Tree.
The Goddess Tree, which was like a towering giant curtain, trembled and shrank in an instant, turned into a branch and fell into the hands of Mei Xiangu.
Mei Xiangu really didn't want to take the risk to save Tian Lin, but if Tian Lin died, could she, holding the sword, still survive?
"Mr. Tian, where are you?"
Fairy Mei dodged and slipped into the crack. A cold wind instantly enveloped her, not only corroding her body, but also blocking her vision and spiritual awareness.
As if in response, a golden light flashed below.
Although Mei Xiangu could not see clearly, she could tell that it was Tian Lin who was practicing the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill.
In the darkness, several roots stabbed at her. Mei Xiangu used the Goddess Tree in her hand to disperse the roots and flew quickly towards Tianlin.
When he flew to where Tian Lin was, he saw Tian Lin, who was radiating golden light, wrapped by a tree root.
Tian Lin's chest was also deeply pierced by the tree roots. The tree roots seemed to have a heart, wriggling and sucking blood from Tian Lin's body.
"seek death!"
Mei Xiangu was furious, and the Goddess Tree slapped the branch that was entangled with Tian Lin. The branch shrank, taking a piece of flesh from Tian Lin's body, and Tian Lin, who had closed his eyes, opened them at this moment.
"I'll take you up there now!"
After Mei Xiangu said this, her expression changed immediately.
Tian Lin, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "We can't go back. There is a restriction down here. We can only descend, not ascend."
Upon hearing this, Mei Xiangu angrily asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you afraid that I wouldn't dare to come down to save you?"
Tian Lin said: "Whether I tell you or not, you have no choice but to come down and save me."
After saying that, the two of them fell to the ground with a thud.
This time when entering the secret realm, Tian Lin was injured one after another, and his body was too fragile to bear the burden.
If it weren't for Mei Xiangu catching him when he landed, the fall from a height of dozens of feet would have been enough to make him faint.
"If I remember correctly, you haven't used up your water of good fortune yet, right? Now only the water of good fortune can help you recover quickly from your injuries."
Tian Lin shook his head. The water of good fortune was useless to him. Fortunately, he also prepared some healing ingredients, so he simply took them out and started chewing.
Looking at Tian Lin eating dried fish, Mei Xiangu's mouth twitched.
She knew that Tian Lin liked to eat whenever he had nothing to do. This was a quirk that almost everyone who knew Tian Lin in the Wendao Sect knew about.
But she never expected that at this time Tian Lin didn't think about how to heal his wounds, but started eating instead.
"Don't look at me like that. Let's go find the couple from Xiangxi Sect first."
Tian Lin ate the dried fish while looking around.
This area is located underground and is completely shrouded in darkness.
Because of the dense yin energy, it is difficult to tell where you are.
At this time, Mei Xiangu raised her hand and shot out a ball of fire. This ball of fire not only burned away the roots that were attacking her and Tian Lin, but also illuminated the surrounding environment a little.
What made the two of them furious was that they seemed to be in a place full of tree monsters, with dense snake-like tree roots everywhere.
"Light the candles!"
Tian Lin lit the magic candle without hesitation.
Within the light of the divine candle, no tree roots outside dared to approach.
On the contrary, as Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu moved, the tree roots illuminated by the magic candle began to retreat continuously.
Tian Lin, holding the divine candle, frowned and looked at the layers of retreating tree roots under his feet: "Our bodies are sinking now."
Indeed, the layers of tree roots kept moving away from under the two people's feet in order to avoid the light, and soon the real ground was exposed.
"The ground is full of broken bones, weathered for who knows how many years."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he lit the lamp and continued walking.
The two men could see countless baby bones. They crushed the bones and after walking forward dozens of steps, they soon saw a tattered stone tablet.
The stone tablet was broken, leaving only two words "Zicun".
Tian Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that this was originally a village?"
Tian Lin seemed to have thought of something, and then waved his sleeves.
Countless ashes flew everywhere, and soon the soil under the ashes and bones was exposed.
Tian Lin rubbed up a handful of mud and said to Mei Xiangu: "This mud is neither burial mound nor underworld mound. This mud is the mud from a mass grave."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that this land is not the land of the secret realm, but the land of the mass grave - or in other words, this village should have been in the mass grave. But for some reason, it moved itself, or someone used great magical powers, from the mass grave to this secret realm."
