Chapter 36

The three were silent for a moment, and Zino asked, "Is there a way out?"

"There are nine doors."

Zinuo and Xu Xue cried in the same voice: "Nine doors?"

"Well, it's nine, which seem to be made of brass."

Zinuo asked, "How do they arrange them?"

In the dark, Qiao Xiaoxuan became the only bright light to guide the direction, indicating: "There are two doors in front of you, three on the left, two on the right, and two behind you."

Zinuo and Xu Xuelei exclaimed at the same time: "Jiugongmen?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan said stunned, "What nine palace gate?"

Xu Xue snorted softly, "Aren't you very strong against the array? You know anything that I haven't even heard of. Jiugongmen must be very easy for you.

Qiao Xiaoxuan scratched his head awkwardly when he heard the words. His understanding of the seven-soul array suddenly came out of his mind and brought some astronomical knowledge. But for other arrays, even the most common array in the world is in front of him, which is deadly for Qiao Xiaoxuan, because he now knows no other arrays except the Seven Souls.

Fortunately, Zino relieved the siege and said, "Nine Palace Gate is a kind of gate arranged according to the nine extremes of heaven and earth. It is arranged according to the direction of the front three left two right two and the rear two. Only one of them is the life gate, and the rest are all dead doors, and you will definitely die if you enter it."

Qiao Xiaoxuan fell into meditation when he heard the words. Shengmen? There is only one chance. If you choose the wrong one, all three people will die. The probability of winning one out of nine is not high. Which one will be the first to be born?

Qiao Xiaoxuan went to check the nine bronze doors one by one. After some inference, he finally chose the door in the middle of the three bronze doors side by side facing the wall of the star map. Because he stood in front of the door, he felt a moist atmosphere that no other portal had, and a burst of vitality was about to come out.

"Let's choose it." Qiao Xiaoxuan gritted his teeth and pushed open the copper door hard.

Due to the age, there was a lot of dust on the copper door. At the moment of opening the door, countless dust appeared on the door frame. Qiao Xiaoxuan hurriedly closed his eyes and waited for a long time before slowly opened. A long corridor in front of us continues to extend down at an angle of 30 degrees, and the passage is endless, like a shortcut to the underworld.

Zinuo and Xu Xue suddenly ran away with tears, and then quickly ran to Qiao Xiaoxuan's side.

It turned out that the passage behind the copper door was not as dark as expected, but extremely bright, but these lights seemed to come from the stone wall.

Xu Xue touched the stone wall with tears and muttered, "It's strange that the stone will also shine? It's not fluorescent stone."

Zinuo suddenly pointed to the top and shouted, "Xiao Xuan, look up."

Qiao Xiaoxuan and Xu Xue Tears looked up and saw patterns carved on the top of the cave. Each pattern is different. The only thing that is the same is that there is a powerful man in the painting, which is lifelike.

Qiao Xiaoxuan counted a total of nine patterns. The first man lies on a strange**, the second man has been sitting on the ground as if he is sitting down, the third man is playing martial arts, the fourth man is pointing to the sky and opening his mouth, the fifth man stands across with a knife, the sixth man is stepping on clouds, the seventh man is fighting with a woman, and the eighth man is in his arms. Holding the woman's sad appearance, the ninth man stepped on the clouds and split the sky with a long knife.

Who is the man in the painting? Who are the other people in the painting? Who painted these paintings? Why is it painted here? And the top of the cave is more than ten meters high from the ground. How did the painter paint it?

Qiao Xiaoxuan and Zi Nuo looked at each other and saw the incomparable shock in each other's eyes.

Qiao Xiaoxuan sighed and said, "These paintings seem to be telling a story."

Zino nodded and said, "It's a story. But who is the person in this painting? Who drew it again?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan said with a wry smile, "This is also what I want to know."

Withdrawing her eyes, Xu Xuezhi pointed to a passage in front of her and said, "Let's go in and have a look. Maybe we will find anything else."

Qiao Xiaoxuan nodded, walked to the front of Zino and Xu Xuelei, and said, "You follow me."

The channel is very deep, and the trend of the hole is gradually downward. After walking for so long, Qiao Xiaoxuan asked Zino to calculate it roughly. They are not only no longer on the mountain, but also have even dived into the depth of dozens of meters underground. Looking at the direction of the hole, if they continue to go on, they may continue to go deeper. The deeper the light from the stone wall, the darker it is, but although the light is weak, it is enough to see the road ahead. With the deepening of the two, the surrounding scenery is changing more and more.

At the beginning, the deeper the entry, the wetter the air, the lower the temperature, and there are even ice hanging on the rock walls on both sides. These ices do not melt all year round. The three people guessed that some of them even have a history of tens of thousands of years.

Going further down, the temperature seems to rise slowly. And down, it got cold again, but it was much better than the previous cold. This cold breath didn't last long, and a stream of heat spread up from the ground. I can even hear the roar from nowhere.

Xu Xue listened carefully for a while and whispered, "There may be an underground river in front of you."

Zino nodded and whispered, "It should not be in the channel, but near these stone walls."

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled and grabbed Zino's little hand and walked down. The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the air is getting drier. Qiao Xiaoxuan and the other three are not used to this environment. He licked his dry lips desperately. Xu Xuelei thought for a moment, found two small beads from her pocket, handed one to Zino, holding the other one in her hand, and looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan pitifully.

Zino said stunnedly, "What is this?"

"My master gave it to me, it's called Han Bingzhu. My master said that it was refined from thousands of years of ice, which is refreshing.

Zino rubbed the beads against his face for a while, and felt a trace of cool air penetrating through the skin of his face, which was much more comfortable than just now. He said happily, "It's so cool." He said enviously, "Your master is so good. He always gives you things. Unlike my dead master, he is simply a stingy reincarnation."

Xu Xue smiled with tears and looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan: "Brother Qiao, I heard from my master that you are the most gentlemanly, right?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan stared at the ice beads in her hand and swallowed a mouthful of foam, and his eyes turned to her face. A trace of imperbearance flashed in his eyes. He stood up and pretended to be generous and said, "Man, man, you don't need these."

Xu Xue asked happily, "Really?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan nodded hurriedly, but his face looked annoyed.

Xu Xue wiped the cold beads on her face and smiled innocently: "Thank you, Brother Lin."

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled bitterly.

Zino handed over the ice beads in her hand and said, "I'll give you mine."

Qiao Xiaoxuan pushed it back and said, "No, you'd better keep it for yourself. Besides, this temperature is nothing to me.

Zino held the ice beads in his hand and looked at him with a sad face.

"Hey." Qiao Xiaoxuan shook his right hand in front of Zino and shouted, "Wife, what are you thinking? I'm so fascinated."

Zino stared at him and said, "My mouth is not blocked." He took Xu Xuelei's hand and said, "Let's ignore him. Let's go quickly."

It seems to be the last section of the road, and the cave is already full of hot wind.

Qiao Xiaoxuan's expression began to become a little serious and whispered, "It should be almost the end." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. An extremely huge space appeared in front of the two of them, and everything was fiery red, and the hot waves rolled up from under the line of sight in a shape visible to the naked eye.

The three were shocked, and Xu Xue trembled with tears: "magma?"

Zino nodded and said, "It's magma."

After a few steps forward, there was a hole dozens of meters deep in front of him. Pieces of magma slowly flowed out of the ground, as if bubbles rolled out from under the magma, and the dark red magma quietly swallowed everything on the way forward.

Road, there is nothing left here. Further forward, except for magma, it is a flaming stone block that seems to be shaking in the magma.

Qiao Xiaoxuan, Zino and Xu Xuelei looked at each other in consters. This cave actually leads to the deepest underground?

After a long time, Zino sighed, "Go back. There is no way ahead."

"Look at it." Just then, Qiao Xiaoxuan suddenly pointed to the front and shouted.

Zinuo and Xu Xuelei looked in the direction pointed by Xu Xuelei, and they could not see anything except red. The two couldn't help saying strangely, "What is it? I didn't see it."

"There seems to be someone."

The two were shocked and looked at it again, but they still didn't see anything.

After half of the day, a fiery red stone floated along the magma. A figure could be faintly seen on the stone, and the clothes were light.

When the stone drifted closer, the two saw that there was indeed a person standing on the stone, which should be exactly a skeleton. The skeleton's clothes have long been torn, leaving only a few pieces of cloth floating gently. The skull's head is bare, and I don't know whether there is no hair in the first place or burned by the heat wave in this magma. A broken sword is stuck on the rock in front of the skeleton, and the skeleton's two hand bones are still holding the hilt and standing straight.

Zino took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Who is this? Why are you here?"

Xu Xue's tears had already hidden behind Zino's back and pulled her clothes tightly, shaking her head desperately and not answering.

I don't know how long it took for Xu Xue tears to poke out half of her head from behind Zino. It was not until she could no longer see the skeleton that she calmed down and walked out from behind her. Turning his head, he saw Zino staring straight at the magma in front of him in a daze. Qiao Xiaoxuan frowned and had a thoughtful expression.

Xu Xueyan gently pulled the corner of Zino's clothes. Zino came to her senses and glanced around to see that the skeleton had long disappeared. She asked, "What about the skeleton?"

Xu Xue's tear face was a little pale, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know. Oh, my God, this place is terrible. Let's go."

Qiao Xiaoxuan looked uncertain. After struggling from the bottom of his heart, he seemed to make up his mind and said in a low voice, "You wait for me here."

Zino asked in surprise, "What about you?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan looked at the fiery red world in front of him and said in a low voice, "I want to go in and have a look."

Xu Xue tears looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan with an incredible face, as if she were looking at a monster.

"How to get in?" Zino looked around and said, "There is no way."

Qiao Xiaoxuan pointed to a piece of rock drifting from the magma and said, "From these rocks."

"You're crazy!" Zino pulled Qiao Xiaoxuan's sleeve tightly and shouted, "You will die!"

Qiao Xiaoxuan shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, but I just had a feeling that something was calling my name in the depths of this magma."

Xu Xue cried in surprise when she heard the words, "Are you crazy?"

Zino's face turned pale. He clutched Qiao Xiaoxuan's sleeve tightly and shook his head desperately and shouted, "Don't go."

Qiao Xiaoxuan patted the back of Zino's hand and sighed, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. And there seems to be a voice in my heart that keeps asking me to go in. I have a feeling that if I don't go in, I may regret it for the rest of my life.

Zino's tears have rolled in his eyes and cried, "No, please don't go in, okay?" Qiao Xiaoxuan."

Qiao Xiaoxuan looked up at the chief and sighed. At this moment, he really wanted to say the four words "I promise you". But he knew that he couldn't say it, and the call from the bottom of his heart had been urging him to move forward, which made him very uncomfortable. Besides, he is also very curious about this unknown underground world. As the saying goes, curiosity can kill a living person. He wanted to know where the skeleton just came from? How did you die? Why is there a voice calling him in the depths of his heart? What is there in the depths of the magma? He really wants to solve these mysteries. If he leaves like this at this moment, he knows that he will have trouble sleeping and eating in his life.

Xu Xue cursed in tears: "Madman."

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled bitterly. Crazy!" This is exactly what he said about himself at this moment. He knows how crazy his current thoughts are, and that there may be no way back to go in this entry. Most likely, he will sleep in this magma like the skeleton just now and accompany the skeleton.

Who doesn't feel sorry for the cuckoo's red tears? Looking at Zinuo's beautiful face full of tears, Qiao Xiaoxuan was heartbroken.

Gently hold Zino's jade hand and sigh, "Zino, I have a feeling that something must have something to do with me. It has been calling me strongly. I have to go in and have a look, otherwise I will not be at ease in my life.

Zino pulled back her little hand and lowered her head without saying a word, but kept wiping the tears on her face. She knew Qiao Xiaoxuan's crazy character. From the first time Qiao Xiaoxuan met the ghost, she was not afraid but flirted with the female ghost. At that time, she already knew that Qiao Xiaoxuan was a person who didn't know what fear was. However, entering magma is different from meeting ghosts. As the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of people. Zino, who has been dealing with ghosts all year round, knows that as long as you are not afraid of ghosts, you have won half, and the other half depends on your own strength. But magma is not a ghost. I have never heard of anyone dare to enter the magma. How arrogant and crazy it is.

Qiao Xiaoxuan patted Zino's soft shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll go back."

Zino stretched out his hand to pull Qiao Xiaoxuan. Xu Xuelei grabbed her first and said, "Let him go, he deserves it."

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled and stepped forward, stretched out his foot and gently stepped on a rock floating from the side. He felt a huge heat coming from his feet through the soles of his feet, and the rock seemed to have no reaction. He dared to step on the other foot on the rock. The rock sank slightly, and the outermost pebbles silently fell into the magma, and a wisp of smoke rose in an instant. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to move again. After a while, he saw that the rock had no reaction. He stamped his feet hard again and couldn't help but be so ecstatic. He knew that his guess was true that the rock could really carry people.

Qiao Xiaoxuan jumped on the rock and shouted happily, "Zino, look, these rocks can really carry people."

Zinuo said urgently, "Qiao Xiaoxuan, be careful!"

Qiao Xiaoxuan raised his hand and shook his hand and shouted, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" While talking, he jumped on the nearest second rock, and then jumped on the third one.

Xu Xue stared at Qiao Xiaoxuan's jumping figure, jumping farther and farther, gently locking her eyebrows, and her face was gloomy and uncertain.

Zinuo hurriedly turned around like the ants on the hot pot, and finally gritted his teeth and stepped on a rock and jumped in the direction of Qiao Xiaoxuan. Xu Xue was shocked to see that Zino also stepped on the rock. She walked to the edge of the rock, gritted her teeth, gently stretched out one foot and stood on tiptoe on the rock. The rock sank slightly. She was so scared that she immediately changed color. Finally, she withdrew her feet and stood on the edge of the ground and watched Zi Nuo jump in the direction of Qiao Xiaoxuan.

Qiao Xiaoxuan, who was jumping hot, suddenly heard a sound behind him and turned his head to see that Zino was chasing him. I couldn't help saying, "Why are you here?"

Zinuo jumped next to Qiao Xiaoxuan and pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Let's see how you died, so that you can collect your body after you die."

Qiao Xiaoxuan laughed and said, "Well, then I will allow my wife to follow my buttocks."

Zino said angrily, "How dare you joke in such a dangerous place."

"Okay, no kidding. Be careful yourself, but don't ask me to come to save you when something happens.

Zino whispered, "At that time, I don't know who will save whom."

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled and took the lead in jumping up and down a rock. Zino followed, and the two jumped into the depths of the magma one by one.

It's not far down, the stones are getting smaller and smaller, and the stones under their feet don't even reach two square meters. Fortunately, the distance between the stones is smaller.

The air has been so hot that it is almost unbearable. Their hair is slightly curly, and the pure cotton clothes on Zino's body have also begun to turn yellow. Fortunately, she is holding the ice beads tightly in her hand, and the coolness from the ice beads makes people resist some heat waves.

He looked sideways at Qiao Xiaoxuan. He had been looking for a place to stay, as if he had no feeling the heat here. His expression at this moment is so focused that Zino is a little obsessed.

After jumping a few more rocks, Zino's hair began to burn. She felt most about her hair. After thinking for a long time, she came up with a way to wrap the ice beads with her hair with a cloth towel. This method is indeed good. Zino's hair immediately no longer emits a peculiar smell, and the cold feeling from the scalp is similar to that when held in his hand.
