The Huozhezi in Tang Zhou's hand slowly burned to the end, with a pop, the surroundings plunged into darkness again.

Yan Dan brushed his clothes, and a cloud of silvery white light came out in the darkness, slowly illuminating the underground cave: all around were stalactites, and water droplets dripped from the stone, making a ticking sound.

Yu Mo smiled lightly and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he turned his head and said, "Tang Zhou, do you believe it or not, do you think it is important?" He paused, and said slowly: "If you want to go. Jinghu Shuiyue, come with me; if you don’t want to, just part ways."

Tang Zhou said coldly: "Then trouble you to lead the way."

Upon seeing this, Yan Dan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and shook Yu Mo's sleeve, "Yu Mo Yu Mo, why did you come to me?"

Yu Mo looked down at her, eyes dark, and smiled slightly: "I rushed back to the Klanlan Mountain Realm, but found that you hadn't come back, so I guessed if you encountered some danger, so I came all the way. But now it seems, You don’t seem to suffer."

"Who said that, you don't know, I..." Yan Dan smiled and chirped all the way, vividly counting the things after the separation. Yu Mo tilted his head and listened quietly. He couldn't help but chuckle when she said something interesting. When Tang Zhou heard her exaggerating what she had done several times, he could only shook his head with a smile.

"Speaking of which, you found me in Xiangdu, why didn't you come out?" Yan Dan suddenly remembered this.

Yu Mo nodded slightly: "Aren't you thinking about how to get out at that time? I just carried you back, and you wouldn't want to stop? What's more--" He said in a light tone: "Later, you will be free from restrictions. , I just wanted to help find the artifact, what am I going to say, can you still hear it?"

Yan Dan suddenly had nothing to say. Although she should listen to the words of the mountain lord, Yu Mo has never put on airs. As time goes by, she also gets used to it casually, even calling him by his name when she speaks on weekdays.

"I followed you all the way to the southwest, and I found that someone would explore the way for you before. The southwest area is beyond the control of the court, so how can it be so stable?"

Yan Dan let out a long cry. She thought that the government had too much control and didn't even leave a bandit ringing horse. It turned out that she blamed them. The real culprit is actually Liu Weiyang.

Tang Zhou stopped suddenly, lowered his body and looked at the pile of debris in front of him. Yan Dan leaned over and glanced at him, wondering: "What is this?"

Yu Mo glanced at it and said lightly: "Snake skin."

Tang Zhou thought for a while and murmured, "Could the mountain **** in their mouths actually be a snake?"

"It's not surprising. It's a remote place. Naturally, there are more weird customs than in Central Plains." Yu Mo said carelessly. "The two local people who led the way have a stench, probably the smell of snakes. Want to come. With this smell, the snake will not swallow them."

Yan Dan said in surprise: "It turns out to be a snake? I thought it was because they usually eat carrion corpses, and it turns out that there is such a smell on them."

Tang Zhou glanced at her diagonally: "Why do you always have such weird ideas?"

Yan Dan pouted and stopped talking.

Yu Mo smiled slightly: "It seems that Yan Dan still has a lot of benefits following you, at least it is enough to learn." Yan Dan was hit hard, only to see Yu Mo looking at her faintly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's just me. I was so polite to her that I got used to her." Yan Dan was furious: "You, you, you..."

Tang Zhou smiled reservedly: "Where, it should be."

Yan Dan watched as the two of them who had been wrong just now almost started calling brothers and sisters, and had to walk to the back, Gu Zisheng sulking.

They walked deeper and deeper under the ground, and their feet slowly became wet, and water splashed when they stepped on them.

Yan Dan hugged his arms and began to feel a chill rushing from his feet, and there was a rustling sound in his ears. It seemed that something was squirming here: "You haven't heard any strange sounds? "

Tang Zhou stopped, listened for a while, and shook his head: "Nothing."

Yan Dan murmured, "Of course you won't hear it. Mortals' sense of hearing and smell are terribly dull."

Yu Mo smiled slightly and said, "I didn't hear any sound, are you too nervous?"

Yan Dan hurriedly stopped and listened for a while, but he didn't hear any more noise, so he could not speak. But as soon as they started to move forward, she heard a rustling sound in her ear again, and couldn't help saying: "But there really are..."

Yu Mo raised his hand and saw a cyan halo slowly blooming, all of a sudden reflecting the entire cave with vigor. In the midst of the green light, Yan Dan watched straight ahead as a group of tangled snakes slowly crawling towards them. The scales of the snake were reflected in a light blue light, making it even more ghostly. Where this large group of snakes passed, there was a trail of shiny slime.

Yan Dan pointed to the front and trembled: "Is this a snake's nest?"

Yu Mo looked around and pointed to the cave on his left hand: "Go there!"

Yan Dan naturally didn't wait for him to urge, but immediately turned and ran, only to hear the hissing louder and louder behind her. Suddenly there was a gust of wind behind her. She immediately lowered her body and saw a colorful poisonous snake jump over her head. Hit the stone wall. Before she had time to straighten up, she staggered and rushed forward without knowing who was behind her.

Stumbled all the way, stepped over the stalagmites, and stepped over the puddles. Yan Dan only heard Tang Zhou say behind him: "Okay, it should be thrown away."

Yan Dan was out of breath, flicking his fingers, sparkling a white light, and saw two yellow lanterns in front of him. She froze for a moment, and then slowly saw clearly: The two yellow lanterns were growing on a triangular face full of scales, and that face was almost touching the tip of her nose!

She almost screamed, and finally reacted immediately, covering her mouth. She took a small step back slowly, and saw the horrible face sticking to her again, and she heard two hissing sounds, and a slender, forked tongue swallowed in front of her eyes. Yan Dan's feet were soft, and he sat down on the ground.

That is a giant snake!

Although she hasn't been able to see how long its body is, but with such a big snake head there, she can't deceive herself or others. She forced herself to look up and stare at the giant snake. She couldn't move or dared to move, even if she blinked a little, the giant snake would pounce.

Tang Zhou wanted to draw his sword, but saw Yu Mo stretch out his hand and shook his head slowly.

"Yan Dan, don't move, I'll be right behind you." Yu Mo slowly moved closer, trying his best to keep silent between his steps.

Yan Dan watched the giant snake slowly open its mouth, revealing its sharp, blade-like teeth, and an old rotten smell came on his face: "Yu, Yu Mo..."

"When I touch your shoulder, you should run forward immediately, and don't stop until you run to the end." Yu Mo slowly stretched out his hand and pushed lightly on her shoulder, "Go!"

Yan Dan took a step, Tang Zhou reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to run forward. She couldn't help but look back, and saw that Yu Mo's body was filled with a faint green demon. The demon became stronger and stronger. In a blink of an eye, it became a black color, and the giant snake had a body. It was tied tightly with a devilish air, and it could only twitch its tail constantly, hissing and roaring.

Yan Dan felt that he was really bad luck recently, and he began to be chased by mortals to flee, and now he was chased by a snake to flee again, both times in extreme embarrassment.

The tunnel is getting wetter and humid, and you can even hear the sound of water not far away, and the front of your eyes gradually opens up, and the end seems to be a little bit bright. Even a little light is invaluable to people walking in the darkness.

Yan Dan ran to the end, and saw that there was no road in front of him, and the sound of the water outside turned into a very magnificent waterfall. She whispered: "This is the end."

Tang Zhou suddenly asked: "How long have you been with Brother Yu?"

Yan Dan thought for a while and said simply: "It's almost 20 years."

"So, do you know what happened to him?"

Yan Dan thought for a moment and nodded.

Tang Zhou said indifferently: "I think he is likely to be the Lord of the Heavenly Palace."

Yan Dan was stunned, feeling a little unbelievable: "How is this possible? I have known Yu Mo for so long, and I have never found that he has the habit of pretending to be someone else like Palace Master Shenxiao."

"There are always some flaws in the disguise technique in this world, but the palace lord of the gods is already superb, and Yu Mo can become someone else at will. Even if this is a coincidence, then he knows one of them. The artifact is in the hands of the Palace Master of the Gods. He once told you that he knows the Palace Master of the Gods?"

"This...not really."

"Even if he has known Palace Master Shenxiao for a long time, he doesn't even know the way to Jinghu Shuiyue. Isn't this ridiculous?"

Yan Dan thought for a while and said, "Although these words sound absurd, don't you think Yu Mo wants to deceive people with such flawed words? Is this even more absurd?"

Tang Zhou smiled faintly: "How can a smart person like him say such flaws? You think so, don't you? So these words sound ridiculous, there must be a reason. If you think so, then These words are no longer absurd."

Yan Dan supported his chin and slowly said, "What you said is right, but if Yu Mo is really the Lord of the Gods, I am too happy to have time."

"If I say that I am indeed not, would you be disappointed?" Yu Mo fluttered his sleeves, strode over, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems that some things are not clear, everyone has a knot in their hearts. . Just ask whatever you want. I know everything I can say."

Yan Dan touched him with a likable smile: "I only have one thing I don't understand. You said you have seen Palace Master Shenxiao twice, so is this Palace Master Liu Weiyang?"

Yu Mo shook his head slightly: "Palace Master Shenxiao's disguise technique is unparalleled in the world. I am not sure if what I see is his true face, but it is not what Liu Weiyang looks like." He turned his head and looked at Tang Zhou: "I said before , I don’t know how Jinghu Shuiyue walked, just because I was blindfolded all the way. As soon as Yan Dan fell into this underground cave, I felt that it seemed a bit similar to the road I had walked. Write down the route based on your feelings and surrounding sounds."

Tang Zhou slowly said: "Where is that basilisk, you and I can hack it to death, but you don't want to do it. Why is that?"

"This basilisk is poisonous all over, even on its scales. If its blood splashes out, it will fester and die immediately. It is not difficult to kill it, but the cave is narrow and the formation is not strong enough, which is not cost-effective. ."

Tang Zhou nodded slightly: "So that's it, then, have you found the way to Jinghu Shuiyue?"

Yu Mo pointed to the waterfall: "It's right here."

Yan Dan poked his head out and looked out, wondering if he should just close his eyes and jump down. After all, the water flowing on the cliff is the waterfall, and if she jumps down, it is equivalent to jumping off the cliff. Even if she is a demon, she only has such a bone. If it is broken, where can she find a new one?

I saw Yu Mo walked over by himself, without blinking, he jumped to the next level.

The lord jumped, so Yan Dan naturally had to follow. What's more, Yu Mo is just calm, and she also knows that he must be very angry now. Yan Dan descended into the pool under the waterfall, and immediately peeked out of the water, looked around, and couldn't help but said, "The scenery here is pretty good."

Yan Dan swam to the shore slowly, and saw Tang Zhou coming down after her. He choked on several salivas, and a discerning person could immediately see that his water quality was not good. If she had met on a narrow road in the southern capital, she would have taken a waterway, so she would have suffered a lot less...

Yu Mo* stood on the shore. Seeing her swim to the shore, he didn't pull it. He said lightly: "Now walk one hundred and fourteen steps along the lake."

Yan Dan glanced at him secretly, carefully pulling his sleeves: "Lord... are you angry?"

Yu Mo turned his head to look at her, still calmly: "Do you know I'm angry again?"

Yan Dan smiled obediently: "I know what you are thinking when I look at you... No, even if I see a strand of your hair, I can guess what you are thinking."

Yu Mo looked at her for a while, a smile slowly conjured up at the corner of his mouth: "Really."

They walked a long way along the lake, only to hear two screams from the front, only to see that blood was dripping slowly on the long sword in the hand of the woman in lavender clothes, and the one who fell on the ground Two corpses, one tall and one short, were the two locals who led the way for them.

The purple-shirted woman turned her back to them, and suddenly turned her head when she heard the footsteps behind her. Yan Dan couldn't help but lose his voice: "Ms. Tao!" This woman in a light purple shirt turned out to be Tao Ziqi who had known it in the secret passage of the ancient tomb in Qingshi Town.

Tao Zixi saw them, his expression did not change, his voice was like broken jade: "The Lord has sent me to lead the three of them to Jinghu Shuiyue. The Lord has been making tea for you for a long time."

Yan Dan watched her turn her back, frowned, then smiled slightly and asked, "Is Palace Master Shenxiao very proficient in tea ceremony?" She suddenly remembered that before Lingxiao Taoist Temple was attacked from behind, The figure in night clothes that I saw was very similar to Tao Ziqi's back.

Tao Zixi glanced at her coldly: "The master of piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and miscellaneous studies are all fine."

Tang Zhou said indifferently: "Ms. Tao, I was worried that you were trapped in the tunnel, but now it seems that you are still fine."

Tao Zixi's back became stiff, and he said coldly: "Thanks to Young Master Tang's concern. The second half of the secret path in the cemetery was actually repaired by the Lord later. I was ordered by the Lord to bring you here, but Unexpectedly, Shen Yijun suddenly rebelled and locked me in the tunnel."

Yan Dan couldn't help but said that the level of the gods palace master's acting is already extraordinary. I didn't expect that the people who are close to the ink are black, and even his subordinates have this preference. Tao Zixi is timid and shy in the cemetery. The appearance of people, now killing people without shaking their hands, really gathers things together, people are divided into groups.

"Palace Master Shenxiao brought us here for what?" Tang Zhou asked.

Yan Dan sighed. If she was willing to say, she had said it earlier, Tang Zhou's question was really unnecessary.

But Tao Zixi hesitated for a while, and whispered: "The Lord has received one of the artifacts, and he needs a pure soul to unlock the curse engraved on this artifact. Although in this world, it is not just you who have a pure soul. One person, but the process of unlocking the curse seal is too difficult and dangerous. Without a little effort, it would be impossible to do it."

The group was talking and walking, and they had seen a small boat docked on the shore not far away. Tao Zixi stepped forward, untied the rope from the stern, and walked onto the bow: "You can still decide now whether you want to go to Jinghu Shuiyue. Once you get there, it will be too late to regret it."

Yan Dan was slightly puzzled. Although Tao Ziqi was under the master of the Palace of Gods, how did she feel that what she said and did was not toward her own master? To put it nicely, her name is disgusting but good, and awkward is to eat inside and out.

Tang Zhou turned his head to look at them, and said softly: "You go back, it's enough to accompany me here."

His expression was vaguely vague.
