Everyone hurriedly raised their heads and looked around again, the sweat on their foreheads burst out of shock, but they still didn't see half of them, and they panicked.

Seeing their overly frightened appearance, Xiao Yunqing couldn't help sighing and said, "He's beside me."

Only then did everyone retract their gazes looking up at the sky, and looked all the way down, then down, and finally saw the little old man next to Xiao Yunqing's waist. Still high firewood.

Xiao Yunqing said to him: "Are you a mountain dweller here?"

The old man said: "Yes, the old man has lived here for most of his life, and his ancestors have been here for generations." He suddenly pulled Xiao Yunqing's sleeve: "The road you are taking is not right, this is the road to Youwang Palace, you Why take them there, you can't go there."

Everyone was shocked.

Youwang Palace, just by hearing the name, doesn't seem like a place where living people can go.

Everyone was startled and suspicious, they looked at Xiao Yunqing one after another, hesitant to speak.At this moment, Xiao Yunqing said something that made them even more uneasy: "I told them, they won't go."

As soon as these words came out, no one could calm down anymore. Some people couldn't help but said: "Second Young Master Xiao, didn't you go to find Bi Luohua? Could it be that Bi Luohua is in Youwang Palace?"

Xiao Yunqing nodded, and the old man cried out embarrassingly: "I can't go, you will die as many times as you want."

This ghostly old voice echoed in the blood-colored maple forest, making one's hair stand on end, and the penetrating words made many people panic.

"Second Young Master Xiao, it's not that we don't believe you. What does he mean by this? There is no answer. Can you tell us directly if you have anything to say? We must cooperate with you in order to understand the medicine."

The rest joined in.

Xiao Yunqing: "He's right. The place I'm going to take you to is indeed Youwang Palace, and it's indeed dangerous there, but if you all follow what I said, everything will be fine. The tricky thing is that it's very strange inside. Like quite a lot, if you have a heart of fear, there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles, so before this, if I tell you too many unnecessary things, it will only cause harm and no benefit."

"So that's the case, we are overthinking." Everyone's high hearts fell slightly.

"That is to say, Second Young Master Xiao must have his reasons for concealing these things. We are all poisoned people, and we are walking on the road of Hades. If Second Young Master Xiao wants to harm us, there is absolutely no need to pay for his own life."

Countless eyes full of trust looked at Xiao Yunqing.

Xiao Yunqing nodded: "Since you know the destination of this trip, I will say something here first. After entering Youwang Palace, please trust me with all your heart, and I will definitely protect you from it."

Everyone nodded and said, "I will fully cooperate with you, Young Master."

At this moment, someone called out: "What about the old man?"

I saw the old man who appeared out of nowhere, and disappeared out of nowhere.

The owner of the Canghai Pavilion stepped forward and said, "Second Master Xiao, we are all people in the Jianghu, and most of us are not afraid of those ghost rumors. Since everyone is determined to listen to your arrangement, why don't you just tell us where the Youwang Palace is, so that we can have peace in our hearts?" prepare."

Everyone present looked eager to know, and Xiao Yunqing couldn't avoid answering, saying: "I haven't been there either, so I can't tell you too much. If I guess right, it should be an underground relic with a long history. , there are many mechanisms to prevent outside invasion. But no matter what, you just need to believe in one thing, there are no ghosts in this world, no matter what you see or hear, don't get confused first."

Just as everyone was about to nod their heads in response, there was another ghostly voice: "No, I heard that King You, the king of all ghosts, is inside."

The old man did not know when he stood beside Xiao Yunqing again, still carrying the bundle of firewood, as if he had never left.

Everyone was so frightened by him that their hearts trembled, Master Xuan ran out, grabbed the old man's lapel and said, "Old ghost, do you have something to say at once? You left and came back suddenly, because you are afraid that you won't scare us to death." ?"

The old man trembled and said, "I just saw a firewood over there, so I went to pick it up..."

"All right, all right, I don't have time to listen to what you said." Master Xuan threw him away and said, "What's the matter with King You you just mentioned? He, is he really inside?"

The old man staggered a few steps before he stood still: "Yes, yes, my grandfather's grandfather said that someone outside Youwang Palace saw Youwang appearing with his cronies."

The panic reappeared on the faces of the crowd, and they looked at Xiao Yunqing one after another. Xiao Yunqing said calmly, "Don't listen to him, this is just a rumor left by the previous people, and there is no ghost king in it at all." After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked in front.

The crowd followed closely behind him, and as they walked, they heard the old man say sullenly behind the crowd: "Yes, Yinshan is going in that direction, you are not going wrong, it's a pity, it's a pity, the old man is I can't see you coming back..."

This illusory voice disturbed people's souls, and everyone wanted to go back and stuff his mouth with a piece of cotton cloth, so that he could never speak again.

The old man's nagging voice became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard. Someone in the crowd looked back, and there was no sign of him there.

The Xueling mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and it took five and a half days for everyone to reach the deep belly belt.

The deeper the mountain is, the more the maple forest becomes bright red like fire, much brighter and redder than when it first entered the mountain. body.

Xiao Yunqing, who was walking ahead, finally stopped in front of a grassy depression, motioned for everyone to retreat, and drew out the long sword in his hand.

Everyone saw the long sword pointing to the ground, igniting a scorching flame, and then a pair of fire wings appeared on the sword, and a phoenix screamed, the fire phoenix raised its head from the tip of the sword, took off the sword, and surrounded Xiao Yunqing's body After coiling for two weeks, it spread its wings and plunged into the depression in front of it. There was a loud bang, earth and rocks in the depression splashed, and a raging fire broke out.

Everyone stepped forward to look, and there was a square hole several feet high and wide in the fire, and a stone step in the hole extended to the unknown dark depths.

Five or six water dragons condensed out of the crowd in Canghai Pavilion and extinguished the fire, and all the people filed into the entrance of Youwang Palace.

The stone steps at the entrance hang above a black abyss, spiraling all the way down, leading to the lower realm. Everyone walked for two or three hours holding the fire pocket before landing on the ground.

According to a rough estimate, the distance between them and the ground may be tens of miles.

The landing place is outside the entrance of a corridor. The corridor is wide, and the black marble on the ground is smooth and there is no trace of dust. It seems to be a clean place that has not been disturbed for many years. The walls on both sides are full of relief murals, which are exquisite and smooth. , lifelike.

Moreover, almost all of them were battle scenes with thousands of troops and horses. Everyone was attracted by those murals and stopped to watch them.

"These seem to be the history of the rise and fall of the ancient demon race." Su Jue said looking at those paintings.

One person said: "Young Master Su, you are very knowledgeable, do you know what is said here?"

Su Jue smiled, pointing to a picture of a fierce battle in an ancient battlefield, and said: "Look, everyone, these people are dressed in silk ribbons flying, and their hair reaches the ground. They don't match our current attire, but they are in line with the immortals and demons mentioned in the ancient books." clan are somewhat similar, so this place should be said to be the battle between immortals and demons in ancient times."

He pointed to the side again, and walked slowly along the screen and said: "This is what is said, after the battle between immortals and demons, both sides suffered losses. There were very few remaining immortals, and the strength of the demons was greatly damaged, but the last bloodline was preserved. , to be passed on to future generations."

"These are the descendants of the demon clan in different periods. Seeing that they all sit on the Nine Dragon Throne, they should be royal nobles of the era. If I guess correctly, these should be the kings of You, the masters of You Palace."

Everyone suddenly realized what they heard, and nodded one after another. Su Jue continued: "I read in a book that the ancient demons are a very powerful race. Their blood is pure and rare. They are mysterious and beautiful existences. Look at them." The King You above, all of them are handsome, as stated in the manual."

Everyone lit the fire booklet and followed him and walked forward. Seeing that it was so, they were all surprised.

"Why does it feel like you have seen this King You's appearance?"

"Oh, don't tell me, I think I've seen the appearance of this fairy clan somewhere before." As he spoke, he gave Xiao Yunqing a pointed look.

Xiao Yunqing looked indifferent, Su Jue smiled and said: "The few remaining branches of the fairy clan have been handed down to this day, and there are indeed surviving in the world. Most of their descendants are outsiders, and Fairy Yunji is one of them. "

Everyone's guess was confirmed, so they just blatantly looked at Xiao Yunqing twice more, and then compared it with the mural, thinking inwardly: Bloodline is really a good thing, needless to say about aptitude, this appearance and posture are not even for others, All the good-looking things are piled up on him alone!

The terrain of the tunnel went all the way down, as if it was going to lead to the endless depths of the ground. After walking for about two hours, there was finally a glimmer of light ahead.

After exiting the passageway, one can see a huge square. The square is empty, not even a fountain or a statue. Opposite is a dark river. Eighteen white stone bridges span the river. Opposite each bridge is a huge The same door of King You was engraved on the door.

This majestic and strange bridge gate made everyone stunned.

"Why are the eighteen bridges and the eighteen gates exactly the same? The gate of life and death must be the gate of life and death. If you choose the wrong one, you will die. I have traveled north and south for many years, and I have seen many similar tricks. Hey, tell me, I said it. right?"

"It's up to you to say it. A discerning person will know it at a glance. The question is to choose one of the eighteen, so I ask you which one to choose? If you have the ability, can you tell me which door is the right one, this old man who has been in the north and south for many years?"

The old man who has traveled north and south for many years rolled his eyes.

"Look at those embossed carvings, they are all statues of King You, he can't be behind any door..."

"Oh, my mother, don't be scary, I've got goosebumps on you, didn't you say that there are no ghosts in here, if there are no ghosts, there will only be... my mother, the goosebumps on the soles of my feet Get up too."

"Enough is enough, you are all enough, you have to move forward no matter what, the second son of Xiao said, no matter what you encounter, don't panic, most of us are people who have been poisoned by the soul, and we are dead anyway. , be more stubborn. From my point of view, there must be some mechanism nearby, let’s look for the mechanism first, maybe there are some hints.”

The crowd dispersed and began to search around. Although the square is large, it is a closed inner room. From the dome to the surrounding area, there are exquisite murals engraved on it. Everyone touched the four walls, but found no mystery .

Su Jue walked to Xiao Yunqing's side, saw him staring at the eighteen gates, and asked, "Which gate do you think it will be?"

Xiao Yunqing said: "Do you believe me when I say that I have a map in my head?"
