Since Uptown was built, there have been occasional earthquakes, but none of them have been a problem.

If a city in the sky, which took 200 years to build, cannot withstand a certain degree of earthquake, where will all the painstaking efforts of people and money be spent?It is said that in the past 200 years, at least half of the time has been spent on improving its sturdiness. Strong winds, heavy rains, and earthquakes cannot easily destroy it.

But tonight's earthquake was very strange, unlike in the past when it came from below, the source of the earthquake was actually in the upper city.

The three great aristocratic families and the Feiguang Palace were disturbed at the same time, and the lights were lit in every house, and countless people woke up from their dreams, staring at the ground in fear.The vibration was like water waves, rippling layer by layer, stronger each time, sweeping from outside the city to the inside.

Jiang Baizhou and Long Ying were trapped in the formation, and they knew nothing about the reaction of the outside world, but they agreed in their hearts: the upper city must not collapse.

If it collapses, not only the innocent people in the upper city will die, but the people in the lower city will also be buried with them.

How many lives is that?

Tens of thousands, too many to count.

Jiang Baizhou's hands were tightly clenched by Long Ying, forcing himself to calm down.

This kind of uncalmness was also unfamiliar to him, but he had no chance to think about it. He had to find a way to stop the earthquake first.

Obviously, the earthquake was caused by the destruction of the formation eye, but the key question is, where does the huge force enough to trigger the earthquake come from?What is the source?Jiang Baizhou didn't believe that there was any kind of power that could surpass the natural order and appear out of thin air. There must be something hidden in the eyes of the array to release such a violent vibration.

What about "Tianji"?

What the array master promised to present to the guests from afar is not only an earthquake, right?

Jiang Baizhou and Long Ying supported each other and stood up again.

The garden has completely collapsed, the gazebo has fallen to one side, and the base is raised high, revealing a faintly visible entrance below.

Long Ying said in shock: "Brother, what do you think this is?!"

"Well, secret way?"

"Want to go in and see?"

"I'm afraid we have no other choice."

Below the entrance of the secret passage is a long stone step. Even if the sky and earth collapse outside, the stone steps will not move, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.Jiang Baizhou was about to go down, but Long Ying stood in front of him: "I will go first."

"Okay." Jiang Baizhou took Long Ying's hand, half of the uneasiness in his heart was overcome, and he felt better immediately.Long Ying is happy to be his reliance, even though he is very light, but at least at this moment he can feel that he is very needed.

The long steps are not deep, and the thickness of the foundation in the upper city is limited, and it becomes a straight horizontal road after walking down for a while.

The more he walked in, the more Jiang Baizhou felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but hold Long Ying's hand tighter, causing the latter to turn around frequently: "Brother, what did you notice?"

Jiang Baizhou said: "There is a familiar aura."

"familiar?"

"Hmm... I can't tell." Jiang Baizhou showed a bit of concealment, and didn't say any more, and continued to deepen with Long Ying.

At the end of the road is a secret room, which is crudely built and as rough as a cave. Inside, there is a bed, a low table, and books placed irregularly on the floor.

Time was running out, Long Ying flipped through the books in a hurry, and wondered: "They are all poetry collections?... No, there are also wine classics. This senior Wu Kun really loves poetry and wine." He had no time to read carefully, and turned his eyes to other places , looking for clues.But Jiang Baizhou was staring at a certain place on the wall in a daze, not paying attention to what he was talking about.

"Brother?" Long Ying followed Jiang Baizhou's gaze, and the wall was empty, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Baizhou didn't answer, he suddenly took a few steps forward, raised his right hand to point at a certain place on the wall, and applied a little force, the wall skin suddenly fell off, revealing a wooden box hidden deep inside the wall.

The wooden box is glowing.

Long Ying was taken aback: "What is this?"

Jiang Baizhou was even more surprised than he was, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was shocked, but he stared at the wooden box for a long time without saying a word.To confirm his conjecture, Jiang Baizhou approached the wall, took out the wooden box and opened it: "... Sure enough."

Inside the casket was a glowing stone, the size of a thumb, like a gem but not a gem.Although the shape is small, the aura is very strong, Long Ying is not as sensitive as Jiang Bairi, and he can feel its extraordinary.

"Crossing Lingshi." Jiang Baizhou's expression became extremely complicated in an instant.

Long Ying had never heard of it: "What is the crossing spirit stone?"

"A... very precious thing in my hometown." Jiang Baizhou said after considering his words, "When my master forged the Five Elements Ring with his own hands, there was a part of the crossing spirit stone among the raw materials, which is a necessary medium for manipulating spiritual power. But I didn't know that Buried Star City also produces crossing spirit stones?"

"No, I've never heard of it." Long Ying said, "Maybe the array master got it from somewhere else."

"Elsewhere?" Jiang Baizhou was silent for a moment, "My mother? Impossible, all the crossing spirit stones are stored in the forbidden area, and she has no right to take them away, let alone take them out to sea. It was never mentioned in my father's posthumous note. They probably don't know Wu Kun about this matter."

So is it a coincidence?Not necessarily.

When it rains, there must be more than one person getting wet.

Obviously, the source of the earthquake is the medium stone, so where is the source of the spiritual power of this stone?

Is the array master guiding him?

Jiang Baizhou asked Long Ying to hold up the wooden box, and he picked up the crossing spirit stone in the box and put it in the palm of his hand.

He silently recited a mantra, closed his eyes, and tried to trace the source of his strength following the familiar breath.But unfortunately, just like the last attempt in the lower city, the spiritual consciousness he released drifted between the sky and the earth for a while and suddenly disappeared, as if it was sucked away by the black mist, leaving nothing behind.

Jiang Baizhou was dumbfounded, the black mist was weird beyond his imagination.

But even if the search is fruitless, the earthquake cannot be allowed to continue. It is no longer known what kind of disaster situation is outside.

Jiang Baizhou tightened his palms and pinched the stone, white light burst out in his palm, the stone shattered inch by inch, turning into cold powder and flowing out from his fingers.

The moment the shattering was over, the vibrating ground in the upper city suddenly stopped, the humming and trembling tall buildings returned to stability, the dark clouds in the night sky broke open, and the cold white moonlight poured down, leaking into a thread from the crack in the roof of the secret room, falling on Jiang Bairi Ru Mo's long hair.

He looked at the shattered Crossing Spirit Stone, and Long Ying looked at him.

Suddenly, the gap through which the moonlight penetrated widened, and clods of soil fell rustlingly. Longying reacted very quickly and pulled Jiang Baizhou away: "The earthquake cracked the ground, and the secret room might collapse. We have to hurry up!" leave!"

"Wait a minute." Jiang Baizhou looked up, and suddenly found that there was a piece of paper in the wall, which was placed under the wooden box just now, and was ignored by them. He took it out and took a look, "What is this?——a map?"

Long Ying lowered her head to check with his hand, she didn't expect this map to be very familiar, it turned out to be the map of the ruins of King Beixiao, there were five special places in the picture, marked as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.Turning the paper over again, I saw two large characters written on the back: "Tianji."

"This is the 'Tianji'?" Jiang Baizhou felt a little disappointed, but he felt a little more at ease because he didn't find what he was worried about from the bottom of his heart.He gently pushed Longying, pointed to the map and said, "Xiaoying, this one is different from yours."

"what?"

"Look carefully, the location of the ruins on the map that Huanghuo gave you is similar to this one, but the route is different. Since we are going to investigate, which map will we use?"

"..."

Long Ying was slightly taken aback, a few thoughts flashed through her mind quickly.Maybe the subtle difference in the route does not affect the final result, or maybe one of the two maps is fake, Wu Kun's fake, or Wild Fire's fake?

"Put them away for now, and look back." Long Ying pulled Jiang Baizhou out, wondering as she walked, "Ji Shixiong has already found the remains of King Beixiao, and he regards it as the only way to become an immortal. Huanghuo got it The information is similar to his, and he believes that the spiritual spring in the ruins can help people gain extraordinary power. But this array leader said that the ruins of King Beixiao are a secret. Could it be that the secret in his eyes is also a fairy? Then why didn't he go by himself? He had to wait' A visitor from afar'?"

Jiang Baizhou said: "If he really could become a fairy, Ji Shixiong would have ascended to the ascension long ago. My parents also kept secret about this, which is not a good thing."

"..."

Long Ying glanced at the people around her. Even in the dark long-step tunnel, Jiang Baizhou was still shining like a bright moon, making people admire his brilliance and fear his departure.But the moon is cloudy and sunny, people can't escape joys and sorrows, but can't keep the love in their hearts, isn't it the cruelest thing in the world?

Long Ying wanted to say, "Since it's not a good thing, it's too late for us to give up now, I'm afraid you will be in danger", but somehow it turned into another sentence.He said uncontrollably: "Maybe it's a bit risky, but so many clues point to the ruins of King Beixiao, I must go and see."

Jiang Baizhou agreed: "Of course, why not go?"

"..."

Long Ying seemed to be split into two halves, one half he was contemptuous of his despicable thoughts, the other half he jumped up, praying that the ruins of King Beixiao would not disappoint, there must be a spiritual spring that could help him become a fairy.

He can almost understand why Ji Shixiong is so obsessed with obsession - he is the same.

He grasped Jiang Baizhou's hand, subconsciously put it on his lips and kissed it.

Jiang Baizhou tapped his chin with his fingers: "What are you doing? Don't be so clingy, it doesn't matter the occasion..."

People would unconsciously be a little cautious when speaking in the dark. Jiang Baizhou's voice was soft, soft and dense, and Long Ying's ears were itchy, so he couldn't help but bite his finger.

Since Jiang Baizhou came back, Long Ying never took the medicine on his own initiative.

This person cured his addiction with ease, and planted a deeper addiction in him. If they separated this time, Long Ying could hardly imagine how she would live in the future.

——Is the mirage enough to save?

I'm afraid I have to eat ten at a time.

When Longying fell ill, no matter how Jiang Baizhou refused, she just stuck to him and kissed him.He didn't allow Jiang Baizhou to stand upright from the wall until he calmed down a little after the kiss.The latter glanced at him and said angrily, "Do you think I really won't be angry?"

Long Ying kissed Jiang Baizhou again, and licked Jiang Baizhou's lips: "Brother, don't be angry, it's all my fault, there won't be a next time."

next time?Jiang Baizhou didn't believe his nonsense.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the secret passage, accompanied by dense footsteps, gradually approaching.

Jiang Baizhou immediately covered Longying's mouth, and whispered, "Someone is here, not a few."

Uptown is not that easy GG, my friends, if everyone dies, wouldn't it be a direct finale.
