six people
Everyone immediately understood what was going on, and their faces turned ugly.
"thump!"
Several more people fell down and cried out in pain.
They immediately seemed to have thought of something, tugging at the loose rope, their lips trembling, "Jiang, Boss Jiang..."
Jiang Yi's face looked solemn.
Although there was no response from the tunnel, they still wanted to see the body, alive or dead. When they pulled the rope just now, they could clearly feel the weight of the other end of the rope.
Heavy...
How come it suddenly disappeared?
Deathly silence, amidst the bright sky and earth.
The remaining few people who were still pulling the rope at the edge of the tunnel also hesitated unconsciously.
"Keep pulling!" Jiang Yi looked at them and said, "Don't stop."
Those people immediately made up their minds and stared at the tunnel intently, their hands pulling the spirit rope faster and faster.
They were delighted and immediately thought that someone was coming up.
"thump!!"
A huge muffled sound.
Before they could react, they had already fallen to the ground. The spiritual ropes in their hands were all... loose.
obvious……
There was nothing tied to the other end of the rope.
The expressions on the faces of everyone in Longyin Pavilion suddenly became dull and blank.
"Pull all the ropes back and see."
Jiang Yi ordered calmly.
There was no sign of panic on his face, but he also had a sullen and unpleasant expression.
Everyone from Longyin Pavilion immediately returned to the edge of the tunnel, their faces pale, and they were absent-mindedly collecting the ropes.
Jiang Yi frowned when he saw this.
What strange and bizarre things had they not seen over the years? They had braved wind and rain, walked on the brink of life and death... Now it was just a loose rope, so why panic?
After all, these people were frightened by the reputation of Yuan Kingdom's Dongling.
Not far from them.
Seeing that they didn't handle it quickly, Jiang Jingyuan returned to the rocking chair, drank tea, and waited for good news.
Over there with the people from Longyin Pavilion.
Jiang Yi came back to his senses and seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head to look.
The girl in white sitting on the rocking chair was relaxed and indifferent, and behind her, a group of maids were smiling.
——It seems that he didn’t pay attention to the situation here, or he didn’t care even if he saw it.
This employer is obviously someone who only cares about results.
It is easy to deal with an employer like this, but it is also difficult to deal with him.
In the end, the result was good and everything was harmonious and beautiful.
But if the final result is wrong, we would rather treat everything we have invested along the way as a waste than let these people go.
But they are not show-offs, otherwise such people would not come to them.
Suddenly, Jiang Yi felt a little relieved.
These conditions look strange, but they are still within the normal range. Given some time, they will naturally be able to figure out the situation.
Compared with these strange situations, the most troublesome thing is that the employer panics and jumps around, insisting that they change the status quo immediately.
You know, this is not like thousands of years ago when immortal cultivators lived in seclusion in the mountains and ordinary people were everywhere in the world.
At that time, I could panic when encountering such a strange situation, but now... it's not a big deal.
Sure enough, the Jiang family of Yuan State is still there. Who can be an ordinary person who has the courage and confidence to dig Dongling?
Jiang Yi turned around and looked into the darkness in the tunnel.
The spiritual ropes contracted rapidly, and in the dimness near the tunnel exit, a bright cold light flowed.
With one end of the spiritual rope tied around their wrists, the six people seemed to suddenly realize something, their hearts trembling as they sank to the bottom of the valley, and their hands' movements became slightly slow.
Jiang Yi noticed their strangeness, understood, and then fell into deep thought again.
Lao Wu and his companions who went down the tunnel to explore the way, they also had life-saving magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs on them...
Even if they encountered any danger, they wouldn't fight or struggle at all...
Is there something that can really deprive a person of control or consciousness in an instant, at a moment when he is unable to take any action?
If this is the case, then they have to stop and think about countermeasures... Jiang Yi thought calmly.
He obviously believed that Lao Wu and the others had died. It was a pity and heartbreaking, but the most important things were the living.
One after another, the spiritual ropes were completely retracted to the ground.
On the ground, a man looked haggard.
His hands were shaking, and he slowly, slowly retracted the spirit rope as if unwilling to accept it.
After a pause, he gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and quickly swung the rope back.
In the tunnel.
"Snap!" A pale hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed the end of the spiritual rope.
Hold on tightly.
The hand gripped too tightly, and in an instant, the entire arm was torn into pieces and bleeding.
The hand suddenly sank, and the haggard-faced man subconsciously looked over, and was immediately startled and screamed.
“Ah ...
"You are blind!"
A skinny figure grabbed the rope and held onto the earthen wall of the tunnel, and climbed out with difficulty, saying with impatience on his face.
"Ah, Lao Wu!"
Everyone in Longyin Pavilion screamed in surprise.
Lao Wu crawled out, squirmed to the side, and suddenly fell to the ground, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
Immediately, several figures emerged from the darkness of the tunnel and fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
Everyone was stunned.
One...two...three...four,five,six...
Six...
Is everyone here?
Everyone blinked blankly, looking at the person on the ground, and for a moment they forgot what to say.
"Hu, hu, hu" the panting sound gradually subsided, and the six dusty-faced men coughed rapidly for a while, "cough cough cough", and turned over and got up.
At this moment, the people waiting came back to their senses, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you? We called you..."
"I'm shouting myself hoarse down there, why aren't you saying a word?!!"
One of them suddenly poured the pill into his mouth, then threw the bottle away and smashed it to pieces on the ground, shouting at them angrily.
"Look at my throat." He raised his bloody arm and screamed hoarsely, "And my arm, how did you take the rope back?!"
He kept accusing everyone, and in an instant, saliva and medicinal ideas were spraying in the air.
The faces of the people in front of him suddenly changed, they shut their mouths and quickly retreated.
Jiang Yi stepped forward, looked at his arm that was slowly healing from the bloodstains, then looked at the injuries of all sizes on the other people, and asked:
"Your arm, and all these injuries, what happened down there?"
Lao Wu's words of rebuke and complaint suddenly stopped, his expression changed again and again, and finally he sighed and said:
"There was another formation down there, so a few of us tried it out... As soon as it broke, we realized something was wrong and ran back. We finally managed to escape."
Everyone was thoughtful after hearing this.
There's another formation, which means that the bottom hasn't been dug to the bottom yet...
It really is worthy of being the Dongling of Yuan Country... Everyone was very calm, as it was expected, but their admiration for this underground and the person living underground still reached a new level.
Jiang Yi suddenly stared at him again and asked word by word:
"How did you untie the spirit rope?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly became alert again and stared at the six people in front of them.
Seeing them like this, Lao Wu frowned a little bit and said unhappily:
"What do you mean? Suspicious of us?"
Lao Wu looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Boss Jiang, you ordered us to go there."
Jiang Yi remained calm, "Of course I trust you, but I just want to understand the weirdness underground."
Lao Wu reluctantly accepted his words and replied:
"We had tied the spirit rope tightly and never untied it. It was only when we were running back, away from the formation, that we saw the rope floating in front of us."
At this point, he couldn't help but complain:
"We've been calling you for ages, but you didn't respond. Why are you pulling the ropes back so quickly? Are you hoping we'll die?!"
Everyone laughed awkwardly.
Jiang Yi didn't say anything, then looked up and said, "Let's go down and solve it."
Everyone had no objection and immediately became serious.
After reporting to their employer, everyone from Longyin Pavilion went down the tunnel.
Not far away, the person in the rocking chair squinted his eyes, held a cup of hot tea, and sighed silently.
What a hassle.
Can someone come and pick her up and take her to where she needs to go?
Jiang Jingyuan was in a daze for half an hour.
"Miss."
The maid's voice came softly into my ears.
Jiang Jingyuan opened his eyes.
The maid beside her reported softly:
"The people from Longyin Pavilion have already broken the formation. Judging from the prediction, we may have to go together from now on."
Jiang Jingyuan hummed, slowly stood up, and walked towards the dark figure, "Let's go."
"yes."
The people from Longyin Pavilion and the maids responded in unison.
This short journey had already been cleared by the people from Longyin Pavilion. Everyone was covered in dust and dirt as they poked their heads out of the pit.
What comes into view is a magnificent underground palace of grand scale. The various colorful paintings are well preserved and still bright in the breeze after a hundred years.
One after another, like dumplings, everyone crawled out of the pit and jumped neatly from the dome of the palace to the ground.
Suddenly a thin cloud of dust rose up.
Looking at this scene, Xu Qinglin couldn't help but sigh:
"Even Dong Ling couldn't escape this disaster. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I have dared to imagine it..."
Jiang Jingyuan remained calm and said lazily, "Well, you see it now."
Xu Qinglin: "..."
"Oh, you are also involved." Jiang Jingyuan suddenly seemed to remember something and added.
Xu Qinglin said, "Haha," "That would really bring honor to our family." At this point, she suddenly became firm and called out "Jiang Jingyuan" seriously, saying:
"Did you see what happened? You better be respectful to me! Don't wait a hundred years for me to come dig your grave with others!"
Jiang Jingyuan was surprised, "Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
Xu Qinglin raised an eyebrow and said, "Why? You want to say that you didn't exploit me?"
Jiang Jingyuan chuckled and said:
"You're so important, I certainly won't leave you alone on the ground. If that day ever comes, you should be considered a burial object dug up by others."
Xu Qinglin: “…” Shut up, you idiot.
Xu Qinglin ignored her.
Jiang Jingyuan said casually:
"Go ahead and dig it up. If you didn't let me live a good life when I was alive, what's the point of having a good life after death? If that time really comes, even if you use my ashes to make rice, I won't mind."
As she spoke, her face remained calm and she followed the crowd towards the mess ahead.
Beautifully painted porcelain bottles, pottery jars, as well as tables and chairs, were scattered on the ground in a messy and broken state.
On the ground and walls, traces of incomplete formation carvings were visible. On the square stone wall, a dark secret door had been completely opened.
Jiang Yi in front looked back at everyone, nodded, and was the first to go into the secret door.
