Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

But when she looked up again, the hole above her head had been turned back, and the fluorite light could only reveal a tightly closed roof. Obviously she couldn't open it from below.

Baiyao stamped her foot angrily, she had been tricked. The last time she was so embarrassed was the dragon-phoenix fight three years ago. Her opponent was her monster master Zhong Wanling. Moreover, she saw through her spiritual vision that the thief had a shallow cultivation base, and his spiritual power and energy were not very good. She was actually fooled by such an amateur"lonely ghost"!

But the deal is already done, and no matter how angry you are, you can't change anything.

Baiyao quickly cheered up and took the fluorite to illuminate the surrounding environment. This place is completely different from the tunnel she was in just now, and different from the cave she and Han Cheng explored. It is more like a natural underground waterway, but there are still some traces of man-made modifications. For example, the stalagmite array she almost hit when she fell just now. In fact, if you look carefully, its position is a bit off. It is right in the middle of the water flow, and it blocks the cave on the other side, which is only half a person high. It is estimated that its original function is not to thorn in the ground, but to pierce the ground. It is a screen fence that blocks large objects floating down the river.

Thinking about it this way, the trap she fell into was probably not a trap originally. It might have been the entrance of the waterway used by the people who built this underground palace to clean up the waterway.

So, is this really the mausoleum palace? If not, what is it used for?

Hiss, why does she think so much? The most urgent task now is to find a way out quickly! Why had she followed Zhong Wanling for three years, and her way of thinking had become like that person's, thinking about all kinds of random things.

Baiyao trembled with goosebumps.

Since there will be large objects drifting down the upstream, there should be a relatively large hole above that can allow large drifting objects to pass through. In this case, she can get out from above.

Baiyao activates fluorite to illuminate the"road" upstream. Her range of inspiration is not as broad as Zhong Wanling's and Liang Congyun's. She can only improve her five senses as much as possible and be cautious every step of the way.

This cave is not high, and it is only high enough for a petite person like Baiyao to walk upright. The cave is not flat, half of it is a waterway, and the water depth varies, but the deepest is only half a person's height, but the shore is slippery. It was covered with a thick layer of moss, and I thought the water level would be much higher than this when it was full.

Water is living water and should not be poisonous, but it is inevitable that there will be some dangerous organs or living things in it.

Baiyao didn't dare to go into the water. He held the fluorite and walked for a long time, holding on to the cave wall, step by step, and finally reached the end.

But the end is not what Baiyao thought. The roof of the cave here is much higher, but there is no exit, only a deep pool. There is a spring in the pool, and the spring water overflows the mouth of the pool and flows into the waterway.

Baiyao lifted up the fluorite and carefully looked at the cave wall above his head. The cave was covered with natural stalactites and there were no traces of digging. It was obvious that there would be no exit.

Could it be that the exit was somewhere she just walked through?

But she really didn't want to go back on this wet and slippery road.

Baiyao was struggling when he turned around and saw a shadow floating on the pool. The phantom was dressed in white, with disheveled hair. Her long hair hid her face, but her figure was very similar to the thief she had chased in the corridor before.

But now she was floating above the pool, and her figure was translucent.

This is definitely not a living person!

Had she really seen a ghost?!

Baiyao scolded sternly:"You little thief! How can we, who are cultivators of immortality, be afraid of ghosts! Don't pretend to be ghosts to scare your aunt and me!"

But the ghost remained unmoved and was still floating on the pool. Not only that, she seemed to have something. To speak, the bloodless mouth under the long hair opened and closed, but there was no sound.

The ghost seemed to be very anxious. Seeing that Baiyao could see him but couldn't hear her voice, he tried to get closer to Baiyao.

Baiyao cautiously took out the yellow talisman in response.

The ghost had no choice but to retreat to the pool, and after a moment of sad silence, he stretched out his hands that had become ghost claws and began to gesture. She first pointed to the roof of the cave, then shook her hand, and then pointed to the pool at her feet. She imitated a fish with her hands and made a virtual circle with one hand. The fish-like hand made a gesture to pass through the virtual hand.

Baiyao was stunned and asked suspiciously:"You mean there is no exit at the top and the exit is in the pool?"

The ghost nodded.

Baiyao became more and more suspicious:"Are you helping me?"

The ghost nodded again.

"You are talking nonsense! Baiyao shouted angrily and reprimanded:"You clearly want to plan to drown me so that I can be your substitute!""

The ghost shook her head repeatedly, excitedly wanting to explain, but there was still no sound. She could only point at herself randomly, then at the pool, wave her hands, and wipe her neck.

Baiyao looked confused on the shore. Water.

Seeing that Baiyao couldn't understand it, the ghost covered his face in frustration, but still took the trouble to make the gesture of a fish swimming through the hole over and over again.

Looking at the slender figure of the ghost, although he couldn't see her face, if he could see it, It was probably very scary, but Baiyao felt that this ghost was very sad and sincere for no reason. She knew that this idea was ridiculous. As a monk, she should have slain demons as her own duty, how could she trust a ghost wandering underground What about a resentful ghost? But she just had the feeling that this ghost really wanted to help her.

"How did you die?"Baiyao asked suddenly.

The ghost paused. Unlike the random gestures he had just made in a hurry, his two ghost hands opened and closed, but nothing came out.

She must be in a lot of pain.

Baiyao felt sad and said:"Okay, I believe you."

The ghost was completely frozen, as if he couldn't believe the girl's sudden trust.

Baiyao smiled comfortingly at her and said seriously:"However, after death, it is always not good to have too much obsession. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can just say so. When I finish what I am doing, I will do it for you and take it as a thank you gift."

The ghost opened his mouth to speak, but his gesticulating hands stopped in mid-air, and finally he folded his arms and lowered his head.

"Hello……"Baiyao looked at the ghosts that gradually faded and disappeared, feeling angry and frustrated.

Is she just so untrustworthy?

Baiyao pursed his lips and murmured unwillingly:"If you don't tell me, I can check it myself. This girl never owes anyone a favor, not even a ghost!"

After making up his mind, Baiyao took a closer look at the pool. The water in this pool is indeed a bit deep, and the water flow is not fast. It seems that there is a possibility of a passage under the water that the ghost said, but it is not clear how long the water passage underneath is.

To be on the safe side, Baiyao first tested the water with a silver needle. After confirming that the water in the pool was non-toxic, Baiyao tied up her skirt tightly, took off her bun, tied a piece of cloth into a small bag behind her head, tried to make her movements easier, and replaced the poison-proof pill in her mouth with water-proof beads. , and then he plunged into the water with a sudden force.

The water in the pool was very cold, so cold that it almost caused Baiyao to convulse and drown. Fortunately, she used enough spiritual power in time to protect her limbs and bones. The water in the pool is very turbid, and the light of fluorite shines in it like a thick fog. I don't know if it was because of her psychology, but she always felt that the water had an indescribable fishy smell, which made her feel nauseous.

Because the visibility was so low, Baiyao almost lost his way in the water. If she hadn't been wearing water repellent beads, she might have drowned by now.
