However,
He still didn't ask.
"Since San Lang thinks it's better not to look, then we should be cautious."
Hua Cheng nodded slightly and the two continued forward. At this time, they encountered another fork in the road. Hua Cheng directly went left.
Xie Lian stopped.
He didn't follow.
Hua Cheng turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Lian asked, "San Lang has never been to this grotto before, right?"
Hua Cheng replied, "Naturally."
Xie Lian asked, "Then why is San Lang so sure to choose the left?"
Hua Cheng replied, "I'm not sure.
I'm just walking around blindly. "
Xie Lian asked, "Since I've never been here before, how can I walk around blindly?
How can you walk around blindly? Shouldn't you carefully consider which side to choose? "
Hua Cheng smiled. "It's precisely because I've never been here before.
That's why I'm walking around blindly. In any case, I don't know anything about the situation here.
It's better to boldly try my luck. And my luck has always been better. "
Although this was indeed the case,
In the past, every time the two of them went out together, they would always look at Xie Lian.
It was rare for Hua Cheng to take the initiative to lead the way. Xie Lian nodded.
The two of them were about to step into the tunnel on the left.
Suddenly, Xie Lian said, "Wait! — — San Lang, did you hear that? "
Hua Cheng asked, "What?"
Xie Lian said, "On the right.
There's a voice. "
Hua Cheng's expression slightly changed. After listening attentively for a while, he said, "Brother, I'm afraid you heard wrong. There's no voice. "
Xie Lian said, "There really is! Listen carefully, it's a man's voice! "
Hua Cheng listened for a while more before frowning. "I really didn't hear it."
Xie Lian was startled. He thought, "Could it be another illusion?"
Hua Cheng said, "Your Highness, this is strange. I'm afraid it's a trap. I suggest we leave first."
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lian said, "No! It might be Nan Feng and Fu Yao. I'd better go take a look! "
After he finished speaking, he dashed forward. Hua Cheng shouted behind him, "Brother! Don't walk around randomly! "
However, listening to the faint shouts, the other party must have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation. Xie Lian didn't dare be careless and quickly ran into the right path. The deeper they went, the clearer the man's roar became. Xie Lian was delighted. "It really is Nan Feng and Fu Yao!"
After walking around for a long time, he finally found the source of the sound. It was a large stone cave. There was no statue of a deity in this cave, but there was a deep pit. Nan Feng and Fu Yao's voices came from the bottom of the pit. It seemed that both of them were trapped at the bottom of the pit and couldn't climb up. However, they were still cursing each other down there in high spirits. Their lives shouldn't be in danger for the time being. It was too dark to see clearly. Xie Lian was on top, his hands cupped around his mouth as he shouted down, "Hey! What's wrong with you guys? "
When the two people at the bottom of the pit heard that someone had come, they immediately stopped quarreling. Fu Yao's voice said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince? Is that you? Pull us up! "
Nanfeng didn't say anything. Xie Lian asked curiously, "You guys can't climb up? This pit isn't deep? What's going on down there? "
Perhaps it was because of the quarrel along the way, Fu Yao's anger was burning. He said, "Nonsense! If they could climb up, they would have done so long ago. Your Highness, can't you see for yourself? "
Xie Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "I can't see clearly. Do you guys still have mana? Can you use a palm flame to see what's going on down there? If you guys can't do it, I'll throw a flame down … "Unexpectedly, before he could finish, the two people below shouted in unison," No!!! "
Their cries to stop him were simply horrifying. Fu Yao said again, "Don't light a fire!"
If they couldn't light a fire, then they could only use other methods of illumination. Xie Lian's first reaction was to turn around. "San Lang …"
However, Hua Cheng didn't follow. There was no one behind him. Xie Lian was slightly startled. He first felt a little uneasy, then he found it strange. There was no way they would lose him, right?
Ever since they entered Myriad Gods Cave, Hua Cheng had become completely strange. Xie Lian couldn't tell what was wrong. He looked left and right and suddenly realized that there was a small silver butterfly perched on his shoulder. He tentatively touched it and said, "… How are you?"
The Dead Spirit Butterfly flapped its wings after being touched by his fingertips, but it didn't fly away. It was as if it was just flapping for him to see. Along the way, Xie Lian had heard from Hua Cheng that his silver butterflies were divided into several types. He didn't know what type this one was or what it was responsible for, but no matter what type it was, it was always possible to illuminate it. Thus, he asked, "Can you help me go down and take a look?"
Sure enough, that silver butterfly flapped its wings and flew down. Xie Lian said, "Thank you!" When it flew to the bottom of the pit, a faint silver light illuminated the situation below. Xie Lian couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes.
The bottom of the pitch-black pit was covered with a thick layer of silk. It was a vast expanse of white.
Nan Feng and Fu Yao were practically wrapped in two cocoons of silk. They looked like two flying insects stuck in a spider's web. Furthermore, their noses were swollen and their heads were bleeding. He didn't know if it was caused by the fight just now. Xie Lian couldn't help but think that it was fortunate that he wasn't impulsive. Otherwise, if he threw a flame down, the entire bottom of the pit would probably burn in an instant. He said, "What's going on? Is that spider silk? Could this be the spider spirit's nest? "
Fu Yao said, "I don't know! In any case, I can't break free! "
He was in a hurry to get away. Nan Feng's expression was a bit subtle. It seemed like he wanted to open his mouth to ask for help, but when he saw that the person who came was Xie Lian, he sullenly swallowed his words and said, "You shouldn't come down for now. This silk is very tough. Once it touches your body, it'll be very hard to shake it off."
Xie Lian said, "I'm not coming down."
After pondering for a moment, he tied one end of Ruo Xie to the hilt of his Fang Xin Sword and prepared to try hanging the sword down. Who knew that when Ruo Xie was stealthily exploring, it would be detected by the spider silk. The spider silk would quickly come up to meet it, as if it wanted to teach it a lesson. Ruo Xie was so scared that it immediately shrunk back. However, it was still a step too late. It was entangled by the spider silk, tied into a knot, and suddenly pulled down. Even Xie Lian, who was holding onto it, was pulled down.
He absolutely didn't expect this! This spider silk was actually this strong and sensitive!
The moment Xie Lian fell into the pit, the white silk quickly pounced over and tied him up. The rest of the spider silk slowly flowed and crawled, reinforcing the 'cocoons' on Nan Feng and Fu Yao's bodies. Fu Yao was furious and said, "Why did you also fall down! This is great! The three of them are all dumbfounded! Let's all die here together! "
Nan Feng said, "What do you have to complain about! Wasn't it all for the sake of saving us?! "
Xie Lian rolled on the ground and said, "Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha … …"
The other two looked at him in astonishment. Fu Yao said, "Did you injure your head when you fell down? Did you go crazy?"
Tears spilled out from the corners of Xie Lian's eyes as he reluctantly said, "No … … no, hahaha … … what's going on with these spider silk … … what are you doing … … it's so itchy, I can't take it anymore … … hahahaha … …"
The moment he fell down, the silk bed below him very softly caught him. The spider silk that wrapped around him was also very gentle and lingering. Although it was tying him up, it scratched and scratched him, making it seem as if it was tickling him. Xie Lian curled up into a ball and tenaciously resisted. He said, "Don't, don't, wait! Stop! Stop! I'm scared! Stop!!! "Only then did the white silk tie his hands behind his back, making him unable to move. Nan Feng and Fu Yao both looked at him. After a while, Fu Yao said, "Why are these spider silk tying us so tightly, but tying him so casually? His face isn't even covered. "
Xie Lian finally managed to catch his breath with great difficulty. He said, "You guys, aren't your faces also not covered?"
Fu Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Before, we covered our faces. After we woke up, we used our teeth to tear it open. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to shout."
Xie Lian tried to struggle, but the spider silk was indeed incomparably tough. In addition, he had laughed too hard just now, causing his ribs to ache faintly. He temporarily couldn't exert any strength, so he decided to rest for a while. Lying flat on the ground, he said, "How did you two get here?"
Fu Yao said, "I don't know. Just now, there was an avalanche. When the snow fell, it was as if the sky had collapsed. When we woke up, we were already here. "
Xie Lian said, "No, no, no. What I'm asking is, why did you two come to Mount Bronze Furnace?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Fu Yao became angry. "I came here to chase after the female ghost, Lan Chang, that mother and son fetus spirit. Who knows why he came here?!"
Nan Feng said, "Me! I also came here to track down that mother and son fetus spirit … … "
Fu Yao roared, "Then you go chase after them! Why did you hit me?! I … … My family's general already said that the fetus spirit had nothing to do with him. He didn't kill it! You really treat kindness as malice. You can't be a good person! "
Xie Lian was used to this. He said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. I understand the situation. You two should stop fighting and stop arguing. Just now, the snowy mountain collapsed because of your argument. Can't you two stop for a while? Let's think of a solution together. "
Nan Feng was also angry. "You, don't you know what kind of conduct our family's general usually has? He can't blame others for suspecting him at this time! "
Fu Yao glared at him. "What did you say? If you have the guts, say it again! "
Nan Feng glared even more fiercely than him. "I have more guts than you! I'll say it again. You don't have any good intentions at all. It's just that you thought of giving kindness to people you don't like, so you're secretly proud. You just want to satisfy yourself and wait to see others become a joke. Stop saying kindness is treated as malice. Don't pretend to be a good person either. A true good person isn't like you. You've never been one! "
Blue veins appeared on Fu Yao's forehead. The corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "You're simply imagining things and talking nonsense!"
Nan Feng said, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart. Do you think I don't know you?!"
Fu Yao's blue veins climbed all the way to his neck. "What qualifications do you have to say that to me? Standing so high up and looking down on others, aren't you afraid of accidentally breaking your legs? "
Nan Feng said, "I'm stronger than you no matter what! Do you think no one knows about the lousy things you did?! "
When he mentioned this, Fu Yao seemed to become angry out of humiliation. "… Yes! Fine, I admit it! But how much stronger are you than me?! Flaunting your loyalty, isn't it just because you have a wife that you forgot your boss? Wife and son are the most important! Everyone is doing it for themselves, and they are the most important! You're always harping on my lousy matters, aren't you ashamed?! "
Hearing him mention 'wife and son', Nan Feng flew into a rage. "Motherf * cker … You! … Me? You? "
Although the two of them couldn't move, they had already gone crazy from arguing. Unknowingly, the way they addressed each other had already changed from "your family's general" and "my family's general" to "you" and "me". Because they were too agitated, they didn't realize they had exposed something. However, Xie Lian had long since stopped talking.
Nan Feng and Fu Yao simultaneously turned their heads to look at Xie Lian. They only saw Xie Lian silently roll over on the silk bed. Turning his body over, he gave them the view of his back. "That … I didn't see anything. No, I didn't hear anything. "
"…"
"…"
Xie Lian faced the stone wall and warmly said, "Do you guys still want to continue? About that, regarding what you just said, I won't comment on anything else. However, I feel that my wife and son are the most important. That's human nature. Let's not talk about old matters anymore. Let's think of a way to get out of here first … "
"…" Fu Yao interrupted him. "Did you already know?"
Seeing that he really couldn't brush it off, Xie Lian could only say, "Yeah …"
Fu Yao asked in disbelief, "When did you discover? How did you discover? "
Xie Lian couldn't bear to tell the truth and only said, "I forgot."
The real answer was a long, long time ago. Ever since that time at Mount Yu Jun, he had a faint suspicion. And when he arrived at Ban Yue Pass, he had already confirmed this matter.
What little military official from the Middle Heaven? He didn't exist. 'Nan Feng' and 'Fu Yao' were nothing more than two small clones created by Feng Xin and Mu Qing!
Fu Yao seemed to be unable to believe that his true identity had been exposed like this. He unrelentingly said, "When did you discover it? How did you find out? There has to be a turning point. Just where is the flaw! "
"…"
Xie Lian really couldn't bear to tell the truth. There simply wasn't a need for a turning point. These two people were full of flaws!
After all, the three of them could be considered to have grown up together. How could Xie Lian not be familiar with their words and actions? From those unintentional aliases to the identical personalities, it was really too easy to guess. If he couldn't guess who was under these two skins, wouldn't he have lived all these years in vain?
However, there were some things that he couldn't say and some things that he couldn't do. For example, he had to take care of his image as a Heavenly Official, so he couldn't casually roll his eyes or curse people. But if he changed his identity, he would be much more relaxed and unrestrained. Therefore, Xie Lian felt that there was no need to expose them.
