The moment Jiang Baizhou disappeared, Long Ying also rushed into the black air.There was no thinking, no hesitation, and no chance for Ji Yunchan to react.

Ji Yunchan stood alone in the empty cave, almost crying.After being dazed for a moment, the boy who was playing tricks just now suddenly changed his tone and ordered her in a female voice: "You, go back."

Ji Yunchan choked out a sob: "Where are you going back?"

The boy said, "Go home."

"..."

Ji Yunchan hesitated for a moment, trying to reason with her: "Immortal Venerable, I don't know who you are, but brother Zhou and Xiaoying are innocent, please let them out! Please!"

The boy also hesitated, and even confessed to her: "To tell you the truth, I am not some kind of immortal. I did not take them away, so naturally I can't let them out."

"Then who captured them?"

"Earth atmosphere."

"Earth Qi?" Ji Yunchan couldn't understand, "What is that?"

"It's something you shouldn't worry about. You should leave quickly, Miss Ji! The air in this place is disordered, and the poisonous mist is overflowing! If you stay for a long time, you may be in danger of your life!"

"..."

Where is Ji Yunchan willing to go?Not to mention that she would get lost if she went out alone, even if she went out, where could she go?Anyway, she would never come home again.

"I won't leave, I want to live and die with Brother Zhou and Xiaoying." Ji Yunchan clenched her fists and walked straight towards the black air.

Seeing that she couldn't stop her, there was a sudden sound from the ground, similar to the sound before the black air appeared, and then, the black air became weaker and then disappeared.The spring that had just sunk into the ground rose again, filling the ground level.

——To stop her, the boy put away his black energy.

"This is...a mechanism?" Ji Yunchan suddenly realized, and stomped her feet anxiously, "Where are you? How is the mechanism controlled? Tell me quickly! Stop hiding!"

Regardless of her begging, the boy persuaded again: "Go back, Miss Ji."

Ji Yunchan realized later, "You know me?"

"We met once before." The boy's tone was very different from when he faced other people just now, almost gentle, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't do anything."

"..."

She couldn't help, Ji Yunchan didn't want to leave, and the two talked with each other through the air, and fell into a stalemate for a while.

At the same time, Jiang Baizhou was sucked deep underground by the black air.

How deep is it?have no idea.

It seems endless.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, Jiang Baizhou was in a trance for a moment, and took two light breaths before he calmed down and regained his consciousness.

Then he immediately noticed that there was a strange smell in the surrounding air, which was the same as the strange and familiar smell on the ground, but it was stronger here, and seemed to be closer to the source of the smell.

However, "strong" is only for him, and others should not be able to smell it.

Rather than saying it was a smell, it was better to say it was an induction from the restlessness of the blood.

As for what this feeling is similar to, the answer in his heart is ready to come out, so a little chills down his spine.

Jiang Baizhou turned his head and looked around.

This place is as dark as ink, and the line of sight is blocked by pure darkness, and nothing can be seen.

And no one.He was obviously sucked in with Gongsun Bo, but Gongsun Bo was not by his side.

Jiang Baizhou had no choice but to sacrifice the Five Elements Ring, and use the light from the ring to illuminate the world.The five-element ring is almost a divine tool, and he is more sensitive to the surrounding five-element aura than he himself is. Those silent messages passed into his mind through the ring, and Jiang Baizhou was taken aback: "This is... the earth veins?"

He once tried to explore the earth's veins, but the spiritual consciousness released could not go deep, and the earth did not accept him.

At that time, he thought that he was hiding the power of the sea veins, and that water and soil were incompatible, so he was rejected by the power of the earth veins.

But when he went deep into it at this time, Jiang Baizhou suddenly discovered that it was not because the earth did not accept him, but because the earth veins were dead.

——The ley line is dead.

Jiang Baizhou stood there dumbfounded, deeply shocked.

This is simply unimaginable, what does it mean that the earth veins are dead?Everything is out of balance, the barren land stretches to the sky, and no grass grows.

No wonder the black mist is raging on the ground, and natural disasters have been happening year after year...

But the earth vein itself is a force of neither life nor death, how could it be possible to die?

At best, into failure.

After some changes, Jiang Baizhou almost forgot that this place is the ruins of King Beixiao, and the entrance on the ground is a mysterious stone gate and a large formation.

Legend has it that the king of Beixiao rode a crane to ascend to immortality and left this relic for future generations to pursue.

Immortal ruins must be fake, so putting aside the theory of immortals, this place is actually more like the tomb of King Beixiao.

But it doesn't make sense if it's a mausoleum.

Why does King Beixiao have five tombs?Want to build the mausoleum on the leylines?From the perspective of feng shui, the earth's veins can only be leaned on, not tampered with, and it is even more ominous to dig deep. With Wu Jia's formation and everyone sitting in the army, King Beixiao will never understand this.

The most unreasonable thing is that it is common for an emperor to secretly build a mausoleum for himself during his lifetime, but King Beixiao's disappearance happened suddenly. He didn't even board the dragon chair for no reason, and went directly into the pre-built mausoleum.

Will the failure of the earth veins be related to the ruins of King Beixiao?

There is an exquisite large formation on this ruins, and the large formation is accompanied by organs. The construction of the organs requires a lot of manpower, so what is the purpose of building five with such painstaking efforts?

What does all this have to do with the endless sea?

"..."

It's just that the similarity of the smell was enough to startle Jiang Baizhou, and if he guessed deeper, even if he hadn't guessed the truth, he could already feel a little bit of his mother's panic back then.

"A secret."

Before he knew it, Jiang Baizhou's fingers trembled slightly.

Not only was he trembling, but an invisible force was pulling him, forcing him to vibrate with it.

What is it?

Is it the weak gasp that remains when the earth veins are exhausted?

Jiang Baizhou walked forward following the guidance of that force.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the side, followed by the sound of swords fighting.

Jiang Baizhou was shocked when he thought of Gongsun Bo, worried that something might happen to him, so he immediately turned and walked towards the source of the voice.

He walked all the way with the light, and there were more than one dead person on the ground.They were all familiar faces, including people from Huanghuo, Feiguang Palace and the three great families, and he even saw a key person: Zhao Lufu.

The patriarch of the Zhao family died hastily, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and stab wounds on his body. He was murdered.

Whether the murderer is Huanghuo or Ji Shixiong is unknown, but both parties are possible.

Jiang Baizhou was even more worried about Gongsun Bo, and hurried to the scene, only to see two people fighting in front of him, one of them was Gongsun Bo, and the other was Song Tianqing.

The dagger in Song Tianqing's hand had already pierced Gongsun Bo's shoulder. The latter was old and frail, but he could still hold it up. He used his crutches across his body to prevent him from stabbing deeper.Seeing this, Jiang Baizhou immediately repelled Song Tianqing and rescued Gongsun Bo.

Jiang Baizhou didn't use the power of the five elements, but just pushed Song Tianqing away with one hand.

But he has a strange light on his body, and he has a new face, and he is not one of the two groups that came down together.Song Tianqing glanced at him with a look of surprise and doubt, and immediately ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.

Jiang Baizhou didn't bother to care about him, this place was pitch black, safety was unpredictable, and he didn't know how big it was, so where could he escape?

He turned to face Gongsun Bo, hesitated and said, "I'll help you treat the wound."

"..."

Gongsun Bo took a step back, clutching his shoulders, staring at him closely with a pair of cloudy old eyes, without making a sound.

This is the first time the grandparents and grandchildren have met face to face.

Jiang Baizhou was seized by a strange sense of embarrassment, his articulateness became sluggish, and he said slowly: "Your wound is bleeding, you should deal with it as soon as possible."

"...Who are you?" Gongsun Bo was still staring at him, his suspicious eyes lingering on his face.

Jiang Baizhou's facial features resembled his mother's, but he also inherited some of his father's traits. For example, the way he frowned, and when he was silent, he was very similar to Gongsun Shu.

Besides, Gongsun Bo had met Jiang Zhu.

It was hard for him not to recognize Jiang Baizhou.

"You are--"

Gongsun Bo was shocked, he pressed Jiang Baizhou's arms hard, his hands were shaking with excitement, and said incoherently: "I didn't admit my mistake? I didn't admit my mistake?! You are Shu'er's child!"

"..."

Jiang Baizhou nodded.

Regardless of his injuries, Gongsun Bo hugged him suddenly: "My good boy, you have grown up so much... Grandpa has never seen you before, and you have grown so big..."

Jiang Baizhou couldn't speak, he felt extremely awkward.

Gongsun Bo said to himself: "You gave me that letter, right? When I saw the handwriting, I knew that you were by no means an 'outsider' or 'friend'. If you were not Shu'er, you must be my Gongsun." His descendants!"

Wiping away tears at the end, he asked again: "Is your father really gone? The ashes—"

"It's his." Jiang Baizhou said in a low voice, "He passed away more than ten years ago, I sent him back to his roots, you..." He paused, "My condolences."

Compared with Gongsun Bo's excited tears, Jiang Baizhou's attitude was almost indifferent.

But his heart was not unsteady, the word "family love" was too heavy, it bounced heavily on his heart and trembled, arousing countless blood, which made him instinctively want to escape.

But he didn't escape this time.

Like Song Tianqing, he had nowhere to escape.

Fortunately, they were in a critical moment and didn't have much time to catch up on the old days. Before Gongsun Bo finished speaking, Jiang Baizhou heard someone shouting from a distance.

"Brother Zhou—"

Just one sound, with caution and temptation.

It's Long Ying.

Jiang Baizhou responded, "I'm here, you come."

He put the light of the Five Elements Ring farther away to illuminate a path for Long Ying. The latter rushed over and saw him standing opposite Gongsun Bo with an unusual expression. up.

But Long Ying didn't intend to get involved in their family affairs, so he just looked Jiang Baizhou carefully from head to toe: "Brother Zhou, are you not injured?"

Jiang Baizhou said: "I'm fine, the black air only attracts us down, it doesn't hurt anyone. But this is where the earth veins are, and there are many strange places. I don't know how to get out, so we have to be careful."

Long Ying nodded.

Gongsun Bo was still staring at Jiang Baizhou, and suddenly asked him: "Your name is...'Zi'?"

"Baizhou." Jiang Baizhou said, "I follow my mother's surname Jiang, Jiang Baizhou."

Hearing this, Gongsun Bo was obviously displeased: "What is the proper way to follow your mother's surname? Don't leave when you come back. My Gongsun family has a big family business, and there is no one entrusting it to me. I will hold a family banquet on a good day and auspicious day, and write you into the genealogy."

"..."

Long Ying watched from the sidelines secretly, thinking: How come you don't know how to go out, why don't you think 'another day'?This old man is arbitrary and has a good idea.

But if Jiang Baizhou could stay because of this, it would be a good thing for Long Ying.

It's a pity that Jiang Baizhou would not listen to him, he just said perfunctorily: "The origin of my life experience is complicated, let's talk about it in detail some other day."

Yan Bi pulled out the dagger from Gongsun Bo's shoulder, handed it to Long Ying, and then bandaged him briefly.

Before it was finished, another shout suddenly came from the front.

But this time it didn't seem to be the sound of fighting, no one was injured, but the sound was ecstatic:

"Treasure?"

"so much!"

"—There really is a secret treasure of King Beixiao!"
