164 The Confused Master’s Confused Words Charming Heart 2

Xie Lian’s first reaction was to pick up Fang Xin and chop it down.Fortunately, he was used to it. He glanced at it before taking action, stopped dead in his tracks, and said: “General Pei?”

This man turned over and stood up, it was Pei Ming.He brushed the dust off his shoulders and was actually quite calm and graceful. He glanced at them and said, “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the Ghost King look very happy here.”

Xie Lian said: “It’s okay, it’s okay. So General Pei, are you okay? I seemed to have heard a ‘click’ just now…”

Pei Ming said: “Oh, it doesn’t matter. Thank you for your concern, His Majesty the Crown Prince. The bone that made the ‘click’ was not my bone. It was this one.” He lifted an object. It was the unlucky man’s thigh bone, which was no longer bone-shaped.He said: “Fortunately with the help of this dear friend, Pei Ming found a way out of this mountain monster. Although it is the bones of a man, he can be regarded as a good man with strong bones.”

As soon as he finished speaking, not far away, a second figure fell from the sky and fell heavily.Everyone walked over and saw that this time it was Pei Su.He protected Ban Yue in his arms, and Ban Yue protected two black clay pots containing engraving and Rong Guang.Both of them looked shabby, but they seemed to be fine. They quickly got up. Pei Su spat out a few mouthfuls of mud and said: “General, Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”

Pei Ming looked up at the sky and said, “It seems that the mountain monster thought we tasted bad and vomited after eating it.”

Huacheng and Xie Lian looked at each other and said softly: “Not necessarily. Maybe, someone just told it to spit it out.”

Pei Ming walked a few steps and noticed an unusual vibration. He frowned and said, “What’s going on with this mountain? Why is it shaking so hard?”

Xie Lian said: “Because it is carrying us towards the copper furnace.”

Pei Ming walked to the hole opened by Yinyu, looked out, and said: “It’s so fast! It just saves us the strength of our feet.”

However, so far, there is still one person missing.Xie Lian said: “Where is the spirit text?”

Huacheng seemed to look with his right eye and said: “The silver butterfly perched on his back was swallowed by the mountain monster. He is gone.”

In other words, Lingwen and Jinyixian can now move freely.This is incredible, Xie Lian said: “Find him quickly!”

So, the group of people started running around inside the body of the mountain monster again.Huacheng released hundreds of dead spirit butterflies, searched them, and finally led everyone to find another cave entrance.

This hole was forcibly made by someone, and the edges were extremely irregular. Outside was a rapidly receding scenery, and the roaring wind was pouring straight into the mountain, making people howl like ghosts and wolves.Thinking about it, after Lingwen was spit out by the mountain monster, he opened a hole here and ran away.Xie Lian looked down at the edge of the cave entrance, frowning and said: “What should we do? The destructive power of Jinyi Xian is too strong, we can’t just leave it alone.”

Huacheng Road: “Don’t worry. He is going to the copper furnace in the end anyway. It’s just the same destination.”

Several people gathered together, and Xie Lian briefly explained what he had just heard, omitting some details.After finishing speaking, everyone sat on the ground in a daze.After all, there are no monsters to fight now, and there is no need to rush on your own, which makes it a bit empty and boring.

Because Yinyu said that he really didn’t know how to communicate with Quan Yizhen, and it gave him a headache when he saw him. Xie Lian also felt that it might not be a wise choice to let Quan Yizhen come out now, so he temporarily let him maintain his roly-poly form.Pei Ming was free to play with the tumbler.Xie Lian looked at the tumbler swaying around and felt a little pitiful, saying: “General Pei, don’t play anymore.”

Pei Ming agreed.However, after Xie Lian felt sleepy and took a nap against the mountain wall, he started to play again.No one cared about him, Yinyu kept guarding the entrance of the cave to calculate how far he had walked, looking at this side from a distance, hesitating to speak several times, but finally remained silent.Unexpectedly, extreme joy brings sorrow. Pei Ming was playing, and Pei Su beside him suddenly made a “dong” sound and fell over.Pei Ming immediately lost his mind to play, grabbed Pei Su and said: “Xiao Pei? What’s wrong with you?!”

Yinyu quietly walked over, picked up the tumbler, and placed it next to Xie Lian.Huacheng Road: “Why are you noisy? You won’t die. Didn’t you see that His Highness is sleeping?”

Xie Lian took a nap for a while, and was woken up as expected. When he woke up, he found himself leaning on Hua Cheng’s shoulder.Huacheng’s voice was in his ear, saying: “Brother is awake?”

Xie Lian rubbed his eyes, Quan Yizhen’s tumbler was dangling next to him, and he said: “What’s wrong?”

Huacheng Road: “It’s okay. If you’re sleepy, you can take another nap. We’ll be there soon.”

Xie Lian saw Pei Ming on the opposite side grabbing Pei Su’s collar and shaking it wildly. He was slightly startled. He woke up for most of the time and thought something was wrong. He stepped forward to take a look and said: “Oh, General Pei, don’t worry. Little General Pei is just hungry and short of food.”

After all, Pei Su is a human being. He hasn’t had any food or water for a long time, and he doesn’t have Xie Lian’s rich experience in resisting starvation and beatings. Xie Lian can survive for three days with one meal, and it feels like nothing after ten beatings.Pei Ming said: “It’s inconvenient to be alive. Who has food?”

No one answered.Ban Yue took out a jar and said: “I’m sorry, I only have this…” It was the jar containing the phoenix. Pei Ming said: “Why are you still holding this thing? It’s almost lost!”

There was a lot of noise over there, and Huacheng said to Xie Lian: “Look, I said it’s okay. It’s better to sleep again.”

The mountain monster carried them for most of the day. Xie Lian saw that the sky outside was getting dark and asked, “How long have we been running?”

Yinyu kept guarding the entrance of the cave and calculated, and replied: “It has probably traveled nearly eight hundred miles.”

This is much faster than walking.Xie Lian also came to the entrance of the cave.He was just casually looking at it, but unexpectedly, he glanced at it and suddenly saw something. The hair on his back stood up immediately, and he asked, “What’s down there?”

Looking down from the top of this mountain monster, in the dark night, there is a huge human face on the ground below!

This human face has crooked eyes, raised corners of the mouth, and is still smiling strangely.Xie Lian couldn’t help but take a step back. Huacheng was behind him and caught him.He calmed down and took a closer look. It turned out that the “human face” was a pattern composed of mountains, rivers, ravines, etc., but it was just a visual illusion.However, this illusion is so lifelike that it is surprising to see it at first glance.Xie Lian said: “What is that groove that looks like the ‘eyes’ and the ‘mouth’?”

Huacheng Road: “That is the ‘mother river’ of the Wuyong people, the Wuyong River. It originates from the mountains and is a river formed after the melting of snow. Of course, it has completely dried up now. When you get here, it means that you are very close to the copper furnace.”

Xie Lian nodded and said: “What about the ‘bridge of the nose’?”

Huacheng Road: “It is a prosperous city on the bank of Wuyong River. Do you want to go down and have a look?”

Xie Lian turned his head and asked: “Is there anything interesting down there?”

Huacheng Road: “There is also a Wuyong Temple in that city.”

If there are temples, there may be murals.Xie Lian immediately said: “Go down!”

He couldn’t wait to know more about Prince Wuyong.Pei Ming also said: “Let’s go down! We have to find something to eat for Xiao Pei. How to get down?”

Huacheng waved his hand, and several silver butterflies appeared around everyone, shining with phosphorescence, perched on their shoulders, backs, heads and cuffs.When others see such a small silver butterfly, they inevitably wonder if they can be picked up.Xie Lian didn’t ask a question, and threw out Ruoxie, tying everyone together so that they wouldn’t be separated in mid-air.Yinyu opened the hole wider, enough to allow five or six people to enter and exit at the same time.After preparations were completed, Xie Lian and a group of people came to the cave. He said: “Everyone, prepare -”

Pei Ming said: “Wait!”

Xie Lian turned around and said: “General Pei, what can I do for you?”

Pei Ming said: “There is one thing I think it would be better to talk about. What do you two have?”

Following his gaze, Xie Lian looked down and saw his hand.He raised his hand and discovered that the red lines between his and Huacheng’s fingers were still connected.

…” Xie Lian coughed lightly and said, “This, this is… a magic weapon used to connect.”

Pei Ming said: “Oh.Wouldn’t it be inconvenient?After all, it is a thread. If it gets caught or gets twisted somewhere, something might happen.”

His reminder made sense, but for some subtle reason, Xie Lian didn’t really want the thread to be broken.Seeing that his expression was slightly condensed and he seemed a little tangled, Huacheng took a look and said with a smile: “This is indeed a bit inconvenient.”

After saying that, Xie Lian saw the red line between their fingers disappear.Huacheng Road: “This is much more convenient.”

Xie Lian stared at the piece of air where the red line disappeared, still a little stunned. It only lasted for a short while and then disappeared.Although it was not a big deal, no, it should be said to be a big deal, he was still a little disappointed.Afraid of being seen, Xie Lian smiled and said: “Let’s go!Get ready – jump!”

The mountain monster was still rushing forward, unaware that these little people, who were bigger than grasshoppers, quietly fell from his body.Surrounded by a group of dead butterflies, the group of people landed on the ground unscathed.The landing place was exactly the “nose bridge” of the huge smiling human face.

After getting up, Xie Lian was very strange. He looked around and said: “Sanlang, is there the Wuyong Temple and the city here?”

Huacheng Road: “Yes.”

Xie Lian said: “But… there is nothing here?”

Seriously.He thought that after landing on the ground, he would see the scenery of a small town like the first temple before, with streets, shops, residences, ancient wells, temples, etc. However, what he saw in front of him was a flat, empty land, and it didn’t look like a city had ever existed.Pei Ming held Pei Su up, stepped on a big stone, and said, “Where is the ‘prosperous city’?”

Huacheng Road: “Under your feet.”

What?”

Everyone gathered around.The stone was at Pei Ming’s feet. He thanked him and said, “Is there a mechanism?”

Huacheng Road: “Stand over.”

He pulled out his scimitar, pointed downwards, and struck it into the ground next to the stone.The ground where the tip of the knife hit first made a crack and cracked like a spider web.Then, the crack spread rapidly, getting bigger and deeper, and finally, the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a cool black hole.

Huacheng jumped down first, but Xie Lian didn’t expect that he suddenly took the lead and rushed to the edge of the hole, saying: “Sanlang?”

After a while, Huacheng’s voice came from below, saying: “It’s okay down there, you can come down.”

It turned out that he went down to explore the road first.Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately jumped down.The others followed one by two.Huacheng took Xie Lian’s hand and pulled him to stand up.Xie Lian said: “It’s so dark.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several silver butterflies lit up in the darkness, dancing gracefully, and a few more will-o’-wisps appeared, instantly lighting up the depths of the cave.What appeared in front of everyone was a long street.

Thousands of years ago, this should have been a bustling street with dense shops and tall houses.The big stone Pei Ming stepped on just now was the roof of a house.Xie Lian looked up and said: “That’s it. Is this city buried? What buried it? Earthquake? Landslide? Or…”

Huacheng Road: “Volcanic ash.”

Xie Lian turned his head sharply.Huacheng Road: “Two feet of volcanic ash has buried the entire city underground. What you see now is a part excavated by the demons and ghosts who came to Tonglu Mountain for testing. More parts are still buried deep in the volcanic ash.”

That is to say, the scene of world destruction in Prince Wuyong’s dream has come true!

Pei Ming put Pei Su on the side of the road and said, “Don’t worry about the amount for now. Is there any water? It’s good to give him a few mouthfuls before he has anything to eat.”

Huacheng Dao: “If you are lucky, you can find groundwater in very deep places.”

So Pei Ming and Ban Yue went to find water.Xie Lian was deep in thought when Hua Cheng came over and said, “Brother, look at your hands.”

Xie Lian subconsciously did as he was told, and upon looking at it, he discovered that although the red line had disappeared, the bright red knot on his third finger had not disappeared.

Huacheng clearly said that if the red thread between the two is broken, the knot will disappear. What is going on?

Seeing his surprise, Huacheng smiled and said: “It’s just a little trick. The red line is hidden, the distance is not limited, and you don’t have to worry about being tripped, but in fact it is not broken. But as long as the fate is still there, the people on the other side of the red line are safe. As we get closer to the copper furnace, the danger increases, and we don’t know what is waiting in front. I think about this red line, but I still can’t take it off. What do you think?”

Knowing that the red line was still there, Xie Lian couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth. Once he noticed it, he immediately looked serious and said seriously: “Oh, yes. In this way, you can always know whether the other party is still safe. A very practical spell.”

Huacheng also smiled, then suppressed his smile and said: “However, Your Highness, there is something I must say.”

Hearing what he said solemnly, he thanked Lian: “What’s the matter?”

Huachengdao: “I know you won’t die, and you’re not afraid of death. But no matter how strong you are, don’t think you won’t get hurt.”

Xie Lian was stunned.Huacheng said again: “You won’t die, but it doesn’t mean you won’t get hurt, and it doesn’t mean you won’t feel pain. If you see something strange and dangerous, don’t stumble around. Find me first and let me come.”

Xie Lian suddenly remembered that when he used his hands to pick up the two skulls stained with corpse poison, Huacheng’s face suddenly turned bad. He thought, could it be that he was angry because of this at that time?

If that was the case, he really didn’t know what to say.After a long while, he said: “Okay. I can’t do it anymore.”

Hearing his sincere promise, Huacheng seemed satisfied, nodded, turned and walked forward.Xie Lian said: “Sanlang, wait!”

Huacheng looks back.Xie Lian squeezed for a long time before whispering: “…you too. If I see something dangerous, I won’t stumble, and you won’t stumble either, okay?”

Hearing this, Huacheng slowly raised the corner of his mouth.He took a step closer and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Pei Ming say not far away: “What is this?”

Ban Yue said: “It seems to be a human being.”

Pei Ming said: “It’s true! But how can people become like this?”

Huacheng and Xie Lian looked at each other and walked towards the direction where their voices came from.Xie Lian said: “How is it?”
