Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 99 Amnesia
There is indeed a monkey in the underground passage from Xinghe Town to Tongxiang City, a monkey that keeps making noise.

Tango heard that voice many years ago, and he was sure that there were creatures in this passage.

But he hasn't seen it.

Ji Qingyun hadn't seen it either.

Gu Zhiyue was a little nervous, clutching Tang Ge's sleeve tightly.

Tang Ge said: "It's okay, it shouldn't appear. Well... it didn't appear when I came here for the first time."

Gu Zhiyue nodded, her little face still full of nervousness and shock.

They continued walking along the darkness, and those strange sounds would occasionally appear, but there were still no shadows in sight.

Tang Ge has long been used to it.

Gu Zhiyue has gradually gotten used to it during the long journey.

There is only one direction in the darkness. They know the end, but they are always full of confusion and panic. This should refer to the ancient moon.

Maybe girls are born afraid of the dark.

Of course some men are also afraid of the dark and the unknown.

Tang Ge was very calm, Gu Zhiyue held his hand even tighter.

They were still in darkness, but the world above was already in chaos.

……

……

Tongxiang is not a big city, but because of its special location, it has become an important place leading to the Southland.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people.

For practitioners, they can step into Nanlu from any direction at will.

The name of the prefect of Tongxiang is Lu Dingyuan. He has held this position for many years, he is conscientious and dedicated to his duties, but what happened in recent days made his heart rise in his throat.

The major cultivation sects suddenly came to Tongxiang City, Lu Dingyuan was just an ordinary person, how could he stand the sudden patronage of these cultivation masters.

Fortunately, Chaotiantian came with him. Although Chi Jing is a martial arts practitioner, he is still a member of the Great Zhou Empire. Lu Dingyuan asked him why, but Chi Jing was perfunctory.

Afterwards, the arrival of Qinglong General Ji Qingyun, White Tiger General Zhuang Wuchen, and Daming Palace Forbidden Army Commander Jiang Shen'er completely collapsed the Tongxiang prefect.

What happened to make so many great figures in the cultivation world suddenly descend?
He is just an ordinary person, but he has managed Tongxiang City in an orderly manner for many years. The military generals who guard the city under his command, although they are practitioners, admire him extremely and are very loyal to him.

This shows the ability of this person, but he still feels frightened when he sees strange practitioners.

The atmosphere in the prefect's mansion was somewhat depressing.

Chi Jing, Ji Qingyun, Zhuang Wuchen, and Jiang Shen'er were all there, and Lu Dingyuan was at the top, sitting on pins and needles. Fortunately, Huo Ning, the military general of Tongxiang City, was beside him.

Huo Ning is only 28 years old, and he is also a practitioner. Although he is not as good as Chi Jing and others, he still has the cultivation level of Huiyang Upper Realm, which is only one step away from Qianyuan Realm.

He stood on the side of the leader, glanced at Lu Dingyuan who was restless, shook his head helplessly, then looked at Chi Jing, Ji Qingyun and others, clasped his fists and said, "My lords, I wonder why you came to Tongxiang?"

Chi Jing glanced at him, his already rickety body bent even more, and said nothing.

Ji Qingyun said indifferently: "Many ghost masters have gathered in Tongxiang, don't you know?"

Huo Ning's pupils shrank suddenly, Lu Dingyuan had naturally heard of the ghost's reputation, and his face turned pale.

They did not receive any news.

Looking at their expressions, Ji Qingyun naturally knew what happened, and said helplessly: "You should know about the ruins of the ancient city underground in Tongxiang City, right?"

Horning frowned, and nodded solemnly.

Lu Dingyuan knew some inside information, and his face became even paler at the moment. Is the secret that has been hidden for several years about to be revealed?Will that person appear again?

Ji Qingyun took a deep look at Lu Dingyuan, thinking that he had such a reaction because of fear.

Huoning said: "General Ji, is the ghost interested in the ruins of the ancient city underground?"

Ji Qingyun nodded and said: "You have also seen that all the strongmen from the various sects have arrived in Tongxiang City, and those disciples and some elders who participated in the Dengyun Cave Conference have been captured by ghosts, and they are likely to be trapped in the ruins of the ancient city .”

Horning's face changed suddenly, and he said, "How is it possible? How did they find the entrance to the ruins?"

Ji Qingyun's face darkened slightly and he said: "According to the information we received, it is indeed the case. Have you ever discovered the entrance to the underground ruins in all your years in Tongxiang City?"

Horning sighed and shook his head.

Lu Dingyuan glanced at Ji Qingyun and seemed to remember something.

Jiang Shen'er, who has been silent all this time, glanced at Lu Dingyuan coldly, as if she was angry because of their ignorance, she said coldly: "Please also Master Lu and General Huo to make arrangements, although Tongxiang City Army guards are useless, but they help."

Jiang Shen'er's words were merciless, and she turned and left after saying this.

Chi Jing remained silent.

Ji Qingyun and Zhuang Wuchen looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Huo Ning's face froze, and he looked at Lu Dingyuan and found that his face was extremely pale, and his body was even trembling slightly.

Ji Qingyun said: "Forgive me, Commander Jiang always speaks like this."

After a pause, he continued, "Leave the ghosts to us to deal with. If something really happens in the underground, please do a good job in the follow-up appeasement, and don't let the people be frightened."

Huo Ning looked at the dull Lu Dingyuan and coughed lightly.

Lu Dingyuan came back to his senses and said, "My lords, don't worry, I will do my best."

Ji Qingyun hummed, got up and left the prefect's mansion, Zhuang Wuchen followed suit, Chi Jing took a deep look at Lu Dingyuan, felt that he seemed to have some secret, and then left too.

Lu Dingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the chair, his eyes a little vacant.

Huo Ning sighed helplessly, how could the prefect who won the hearts of the people become like this in front of these big men from the imperial capital?

Lu Dingyuan's eyes gradually focused, and the panic and fear disappeared. After a long time, he finally calmed down.

Horning said: "Sir, are you okay?"

Lu Dingyuan sighed: "No problem, I just didn't expect so many things to happen in Tongxiang City. Is the ghost really so powerful? We didn't receive any news."

Huo Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "This subordinate's cultivation base is still shallow, and he couldn't detect these things in advance, which made adults worry."

Lu Dingyuan was able to win the love of the common people and the support of a group of military generals. Naturally, he had a unique method and charisma, just like Huo Ning, the strongest military man in Tongxiang City, who was also respectful in front of him.

He said: "We can't predict this kind of thing, but since those adults are here, we should fully cooperate and don't miss their big event."

Horning said, "Yes, my lord."

After the words fell, Huoning's face was a little complicated, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he hesitated to speak.

Lu Dingyuan looked up at him and said, "Xiao Huo, there are only the two of us here now, so just speak up if you have anything to say."

Huo Ning hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly: "My lord, do you know the entrance to the ancient city ruins?"

Lu Dingyuan's face was slightly different, after a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know where the entrance is, but I know that someone went in many years ago."

Huo Ning's pupils dilated and asked, "Who is it?"

Lu Dingyuan said: "At that time, you were still a child. Something happened in Tongxiang City, and finally a boy was found. During the search by the army, he disappeared out of thin air. I know he must have gone underground. "

Horning took a breath and asked, "Who is he?"

Lu Dingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "I don't know his name, but his red clothes are very eye-catching."

……

……

There is a lonely mountain in the south of Tongxiang City, and the moonlight can only illuminate half of it.

Two black shadows appeared on the edge of the lonely mountain. They stood one after the other. They were all dressed in black, with black scarves covering their faces. The man in front had a golden flame totem on his chest.

His eyes were exceptionally bright, absorbing the moonlight.

"Are they all here?"

"Yes."

"Ji Qingyun is here too?"

"Yes."

"It's pretty fast. It seems that the empress still values ​​these people."

"Sir, why did you specifically mention Ji Qingyun?"

"Because he was here many years ago, and I suspect he went underground."

"So what do we need to do?"

"Not for now, just wait until they find the entrance, and then kill those geniuses in front of them."

"Yes, sir... Sir, who asked us to do this?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Besides, there are some things we want to do ourselves."

"The subordinate made a slip of the tongue."

"You fetch Banshanjin and Cangwu first, these two divine weapons cannot be wasted."

"Yes, my lord."

The conversation between the two men in black was simple and neat, without dragging their feet. Until a certain moment, there was only one figure left on the cliff.

The moonlight was shining in his eyes, and the golden flame totem on his chest was extremely cold.

……

……

A white line appeared in the darkness.

That white line was like a gap, gradually spreading and enlarging, with light overflowing from it.

Tang Ge and Gu Zhiyue finally reached the end of the passage. They heard weird and strange sounds all the time, but they never found the source of the sound.

There was no light in the dark passage, they didn't know how long it was, but their faces were more or less tired.

They walked into the light.

The light disappeared, and they were on a high cliff, with a vast stone wall dome above their heads, and endless city ruins under their feet.

A light appeared from nowhere, illuminating this underground world.

A dark, desolate, and dilapidated atmosphere permeated the dilapidated ruins, and some powerful force cut off those tall buildings.

A thin layer of black air filled the sky above the ruins.

Tang Ge and Gu Zhiyue are above the black energy.

Gu Zhiyue's face turned slightly cold, and she asked in surprise, "This is the ruins of the ancient city under Tongxiang City?"

Tang Ge nodded and said, "Well, it's the same as many years ago, nothing has changed."

Gu Zhiyue thought of something, and asked, "Master, at that time you went to Xinghe Town from here, then where did you come in from?"

Tang Ge raised his head and looked at the pitch-black dome. He thought for a long time before saying, "I seem to have forgotten."
