Romance of Gods

Chapter 188 Inside the Panchang Cave
There are cliffs and ancient forests, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk.

Mr. Ao Sanye led the way, and after about twenty or thirty miles of twists and turns, we finally arrived at the heart of the mountains.

A dark cave entrance embedded in the cliff appeared in front of the three people. There was no light source in the cave, and it was twists and turns and bottomless.

Mr. Ao San said: "This picture is called the Tiger's Belly Picture. Entering this painting is like being swallowed by a tiger. This place is called Panchang Cave, which is the most thrilling place in the painting."

Although there is such a cave entrance in front of us, it is actually just a deception. As long as we enter the cave, all exits will disappear and we will be lost in the cave forever.

Your comrades are locked up inside. Apart from Han Ben and his wife, only Cao Yungu and Lao Cheng know this secret in the world.If you want to leave this cave, you must let the person in charge of the painting open the restriction. "

Chen Yan smiled and said: "Third Master, you want me to help you complete your soul first, and then go into this cave to find out what's going on?"

"I understand what your Excellency means. You are afraid that I will let you work in vain." Mr. Ao San smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will take you to this cave to have a look. Come early or late, I will come here. The three souls were suppressed in this gut cave. As long as these three souls are collected, the old man can regain some of the ownership of this painting. Even though it is impossible to bring everyone out, the three of us can come and go freely. ."

After that, he strode into the cave.

Chen Yan raised his hand to hold up a ball of blood and fire, and followed closely.

Pah, pah... As soon as he walked into the cave, his feet sank down, as if he had stepped into a mire, and there was a sticky sound.

At the same time, the firelight in his hand suddenly became much brighter, and the environment inside the cave became darker and darker.

Chen Yan looked back and frowned slightly.

Just as Mr. Ao Sanye said, the entrance to the cave had disappeared. They seemed to have walked a long way inside, with a long and endless tunnel behind them.

Under the feet, there was yellow-green mucus, like rotten and fermented moss, exuding a strong fishy smell.

"The three souls are fetal light, Shuangling, and Youjing. The fetal light is righteous and peaceful, which belongs to Yang Qi. Shuangling is the gathering of the five elements and controls people's spiritual wisdom. As for Youjing, it manages people's desires. And the seven souls, Responsible for controlling human body activities, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, internal organs, lungs and intestines. Compared with the seven souls, these three souls are much more difficult to deal with."

Mr. Ao Sanye led the way with his hands behind his back and explained endlessly.

"In our Ming Dynasty, everyone cultivates divine martial arts. Most people cultivate their bodies, but Lao Chan cultivates his soul. So although Lao Chan is dead, his soul is more vicious than a living person. You should be careful, After the three souls appear, don't take action rashly, just leave it to me to deal with them."

After saying that, the corridor came to the end, and a row of similar three-forked holes appeared in front of Chen Yan and the others.

Ao Sanye didn't think much and walked straight into the cave entrance on the far right, and Chen Yan followed immediately.

Not long after walking in this corridor, a wide cave gradually emerged. Thick stalagmites grew up and down the cave walls, like intertwined teeth, and were reflected in the colorful liquid accumulated at the bottom of the cave.

In the center of the stone forest, there stands a thick stone pillar that requires several people to hug it. It is like a tree trunk, standing up to the sky and the ground, connecting the top and bottom of the cave.

Mr. Ao Sanye turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please step forward and break the stone pillar to draw the three souls to appear."

Chen Yan walked up to the huge pillar with a knife and looked up and down. He found that the pillar did not grow out of the stone. It was like a pillar that was stuffed into the hole out of thin air. There were also holes on the upper and lower edges of the pillar. There is a gap.

He cursed, if the pillar was split, wouldn't the cave wall, which weighed millions of kilograms, collapse and crush him into a meat pie?

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiaohua suddenly whispered: "Brother, I feel so strange."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Chen Yan looked at Xiaohua and saw her frowning like an adult. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't know. I feel like this grandpa is not the same grandpa just now."

Before she finished speaking, Ao Sanye urged: "Your Excellency, don't do it yet!"

Not alone anymore?
Chen Yan turned back to look at Ao Sanye. Ever since he entered Panchang Cave, he had been in his sight and he didn't notice anything unusual.

But a child's perception is sometimes much more sensitive than that of an adult. Instead of taking action rashly, he expressed his concerns.

"If you chop down this pillar, won't this cave collapse?"

Mr. Ao Sanye laughed when he heard this, and walked over with his hands behind his back, "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. There is such a big hole. What's the harm in just cutting down a pillar?"

As he said that, he took out the cigarette stick from his belt and banged it on the pillar. He turned around and opened his mouth to say something. Suddenly his eyes turned sharp and the cigarette stick in his hand was aimed at Chen Yan's chest like a sharp sword, which caught people off guard.

when!
Chen Yan held the knife in one hand and raised his arm high. The narrow mirror-like long knife stood diagonally in front of him. It collided violently with the smoke pot. He stepped back. When the smoke pot was neutralized, black smoke billowed and surging fire waves spurted out. came out, and the overwhelming crowd rolled towards him.

Sure enough, it has changed!

But when?
Could it be in Sanchakou?

At that time, Ao Sanye entered the cave first. For a few seconds, the other party was out of his sight.

Chen Yan stepped back continuously, quickly retracted his sword and lunged forward. At the same time, he activated his Qigong, blowing the fire covering his body forward, and biting the black fire in front with his teeth and claws.

Mo Dao tore through the thick smoke, but it was in vain. Ao Sanye's figure disappeared, but the sound of biting wind came from behind.

Chen Yan quickly swung his arm back, and with a bang, the handle of the knife stabbed the opponent's body.

He turned his head and looked back, and saw Ao Sanye quietly appearing behind him like a ghost, holding the handle of the knife with his big hands like iron pincers, and the fire-breathing smoke pot hit the top of his head in the air.

Chen Yan withdrew the Mo Dao and turned around quickly. The green gun had already been raised, and with a click, it sliced ​​off Ao Sanye's wrist.

At the same time, another Mr. Ao flew in from a distance, and stabbed his arm into the vest of Mr. Broken Hand. With a strong squeeze, the opponent's face immediately became ferocious, his facial features shifted, and the time he breathed became a blur. Color light ball.

The newly arrived Ao Sanye threw the ball of light into his mouth, swallowed it, and said without fear: "It almost happened! I clearly led you into the hole on the left just now, but after walking for a while and looking back, But I found that you were not there! After looking around, I found that you are here!
I was careless. The moment we stepped into Panchang Cave, the three souls had already woken up when they noticed the intrusion of outsiders.The one you met just now was a cool soul, the most cunning one.Fortunately, you noticed something was wrong, otherwise you would have been buried in this cave. "

Chen Yan said nothing, true and false, you finish singing and I will come on stage.

This intestine hole was indeed strange, so how did he know that Mr. Ao in front of him was not a fake?
boom! boom! boom!
At this time, the cave suddenly shook violently, and the stalagmites on the roof of the cave fell crazily, like a downpour, causing mud on the ground to splash, gravel to explode, and various lights to flicker.

"The hole is collapsing! Let's go!"

Mr. Ao Sanye ignored Chen Yan and took the lead, rushing forward. Chen Yan stared at him closely, but suddenly he heard someone speaking in the collapse behind him.

As soon as he turned around, there was a loud bang, the towering pillar collapsed, and the cave completely collapsed.

At this time, the three of them had entered another passage at the edge of the cave. The earth behind them collapsed, completely blocking their escape route.

Chen Yan thought about the voice just now, and it seemed vaguely like Mr. Ao Sanye was speaking.

When he looked forward again, a double fork appeared in front of him. The two openings were exactly the same.

Ao Sanye said in a deep voice: "Let's be careful this time and enter the hole on the left together."

Chen Yan nodded and said, "It's all up to Master Ao San."

As soon as the three of them entered the cave one after another, loud curses sounded at the end of the corridor.

"Grudge! Bitch! He set up a poisonous plot to harm others behind his back and trapped us in this miserable place. If you have the ability to fight head-on! Let's fight head-on!"

Is this where the actor is imprisoned?
Chen Yan looked at Ao Sanye and saw that he was frowning and looking straight ahead, as if he didn't hear the sounds.

Suddenly he turned around, looked at Chen Yan, and warned: "This road is guarded by ghost spirits, who specialize in seducing people's desires. No matter what you hear or see, you must not believe it!"

Chen Yan looked away, "Aren't the actors imprisoned here?" Ao Sanye smiled and said, "If you want to say they are, they must be here, but they are at the end of the road, so they will definitely not appear here. here."

Chen Yan thoughtfully nodded slowly.

When they were about to walk out of the corridor, Mr. Ao suddenly raised his hand to stop the two of them.

Chen Yan thrust his giant torch-like spear forward. Below him was a cliff dozens of feet high.

At the same time, he saw several figures at the bottom of the cliff, scattered and dying.

"You bastard! You're here again! Get down and die for me!"

As soon as the fire light appeared, people stood up from the ground with difficulty and gathered around one after another.

Ao Sanye said in a deep voice: "Quick, go down and kill all these people. They are all illusions that disturb people's minds. If you dwell here for too long, the ghost spirit will bring out the deepest desires in people's hearts. By then, , but we will sink here forever.”

At the same time, Xiaohua listened again and whispered something to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, nodded slowly, and then jumped down and flew to the bottom of the cliff.

When the performers below saw someone really coming down, they were startled at first, and then became furious. They crowded around each other and gathered around Chen Yan with murderous intent.

"All stop!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the crowd, and a tall, pale woman walked out of the crowd. Although her steps were weak, she was still majestic.

It turned out to be Cao Chunhua, whom she had not seen for a long time.

"You are finally here. I know you will definitely come."

Cao Chunhua looked at Chen Yan and smiled happily. Just as she was about to step forward, Master Ao's urging sounded again from the top of the cliff.

"Quick! Do it! Kill them!"

Cao Chunhua raised her sword eyebrows, looked up, and said coldly: "What is this old thief talking about?"

"He said, let me kill you."

Chen Yan's understatement and the fiery blade cut Cao Chunhua's throat together.

Cao Chunhua's body slowly fell to the ground, her eyes round and full of confusion.

The crowd dispersed upon seeing this, and an old man appeared behind the crowd, holding a cigarette rod in his hand.

He said calmly: "How did you find out?"

Chen Yan looked at Xiaohua and didn't answer.

He remembered what Xiaohua said to him just now.

"I see my brother."

Xiaohua's brother is dead, and Chen Yan knows it better than anyone.

Besides, even if he were still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't appear in this painting.

This ghost spirit not only evoked his own inner desires, but also evoked Xiaohua's. This was his flaw.

The sounds I heard in the cave before must have been the ghost spirit's plan in advance to make me doubt the authenticity of Ao Sanye. It can be said to be insidious.

Mr. Ao Sanye jumped off the cliff, fell from the sky, slapped his palm on the top of the ghost spirit's head, crumpled it into a ball of light, and swallowed it into his belly.

At the same time, the god actors also disappeared.

Mr. Ao Sanye smiled and said: "It will be much easier to deal with the last soul left. The fetal light soul is righteous and belongs to goodness, so it will be much easier to surrender."

Chen Yan cupped his hands and said, "Then first I would like to congratulate Ao Sanye in advance on his successful return."

Mr. Ao San felt that the matter was accomplished, so he relaxed a lot, and said politely: "Thank you very much for your help. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would be buried here if he could not even pass the first level."

After bragging to each other, the two of them ran quickly to the end of the valley and entered the last corridor without further delay.

……

In the painting, next to the Evil Pond.

With a rustling sound, Han Ben hurriedly walked out of the dense forest. Beside the pool, Song Chun's fragmented body was already cold, and he died with his eyes open.

"Madam! Madam!"

Han Ben felt as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. His body stiffened and he shouted a few words dully. Then he ran to the pool, knelt on the ground, and held Song Chun's body in his arms.

He began to chase Ao Sanye and Xiaohua all the way, but not long after, the two figures disappeared into the dense forest.

He was worried about Song Chun's safety, so he hurriedly returned to the Evil Water Pond to look for her, but he didn't expect that when they saw her again, they were already separated by yin and yang.

"I won't take revenge! I swear I won't be human!"

Just as Han Ben swore fiercely, he heard a sigh from behind him.

"Ms. sir, it's too late."

"lady!"

Han Ben turned his head suddenly and saw no one, but he could feel a looming dark wind coiling close to his body.

"Ms. sir, stop looking for me. I only have a wandering spirit left now. Just to deliver news to you, I rely on a ray of obsession that refuses to dissipate."

Hearing this, Han Ben became even more heartbroken and unspeakably angry.

"Then Ao San has already taken back one of the souls in the evil water pool. He went to Panchang Cave before. He must have swallowed three souls now. It won't take long for the devil to gather all three souls and seven souls to return evil. world."

Han Ben gritted his teeth, "Oh, I have been fooled by this demon! I didn't expect that even if he is dead, the two of us can't fight him!"

Song Chun sighed softly, "Ms. sir, I have a way, maybe it can turn things around."

Han Ben asked hurriedly: "Madam, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will never let the Han family's century-old foundation be destroyed by this thief!"

Song Chun's voice was silent for a moment, and then he said slowly: "The only way now is to die."

"Death!" Han Ben's eyes were stern, and then he nodded slowly, "I understand."
