Chapter 99 Dry Well
As night fell, the inn gradually became quiet.

Guo Yan looked at the hand-drawn map, pointed to a place marked Nanruo, and said slowly: "This is where the capital of the Yin Dynasty is located. It is about four hundred miles away from the border city. Fellow Daoist Luo, when will we go there? ?”

Shen Qingluo was still thinking about the collection order. After hearing the words, he pondered for a moment and made a suggestion.

"Since recruitment orders are everywhere, there must be children applying for recruitment in this border city. I plan to investigate here for a few days, and then go to Nanruo City when I have some clues."

Guo Yan nodded, "That's fine. If this place is heavily guarded, it must be the General's Mansion. I went to inquire about the situation during the day. When I passed by there, I could clearly sense a few spiritual power fluctuations, but they were all during the Qi refining period."

Shen Qingluo asked at the right time: "Is there any restrictions or formations in the general's mansion?"

"I'm not sure about this. I was worried that there were other monks secretly there, so I didn't look carefully. As far as the sensing range is concerned, there are no restrictions or formations."

At this point, Guo Yan paused and said with some hesitation: "Actually, there is another way to find out the whereabouts of those who applied for the conscription. This method is the most convenient and effective, but..."

Shen Qingluo looked at her slightly hesitant look and understood, "Do you want Fellow Daoist Guo to talk about soul searching?"

"Yes, but this will harm Tianhe."

"Indeed, after the soul search, all the life experiences of the person being searched will be presented in the soul searcher's mind one by one. If the negative emotions are very high, it will have a great impact on the soul searcher, and the soul searcher's intelligence will also be affected. The damage is great, and as far as I know, the impact on the spiritual intelligence is likely to be brought into reincarnation, so other methods should be used."

Having said this, Shen Qingluo stood up and said, "I am going to visit the general's mansion at night to see if I can find anything."

Guo Yan knew that her strength was enough to protect herself or even kill her even when faced with the golden elixir, so she did not object and just nodded and said: "Be careful."

Shen Qingluo quickly left the inn. The shopkeeper felt a little strange when he saw her leaving at this time, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Being in a border city, anything could happen. The shopkeeper noticed that Shen Qingluo had an extraordinary temperament and gave people an otherworldly feeling, so he secretly guessed that his identity was unusual.

For many years in the border city, he had met important figures in the general's palace, but none of them felt this way.

If you want to make a comparison, the shopkeeper vaguely felt that the girl who just left was stronger.

After Shen Qingluo left the inn, he gathered his aura and came to a relatively hidden place. When no one was paying attention, he tiptoed to the ground, flew into the air, and put on his invisibility cloak.

Not long after, he flew over the general's mansion.

The lights are brightly lit here, and the sound of dancing music can be heard from time to time.

After observing for a while, Shen Qingluo discovered that among the five monks, the lowest cultivation level was the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the highest level was the ninth level.

This is on the surface, but there are still two faint auras hidden in the secret. Judging from the slight fluctuations in spiritual power revealed, they are all based on foundation-building cultivation.

After flying around the general's mansion, no children or teenagers with a bone age of seven to thirteen were found.

Shen Qingluo wondered whether there would be a secret room leading to the underground like the Jing family on Dongxuan Island.

In order to save time, she simply asked Jingshi Lihuo to help.

"Jingli, do me a favor and go to the general's mansion to see if there are any secret passages."

"Master, if there is any discovery, do you want me to take action immediately, or do you want me to send the news back first and stay put?"

"Tell me directly by sending a message, don't take action yet."

"it is good."

Jing Shilihuo responded, and a ball of flame instantly emerged from the air and flew silently towards the general's mansion. Shen Qingluo stayed in mid-air, still observing everything below.

After about half a stick of incense, Jingshi Lihuo sent a thought, "Master, there is a dry well in the back garden of the General's Mansion, and there is something else at the bottom of the well. Apart from this, no other secret passage has been found."

After hearing this, Shen Qingluo immediately flew over the dry well.

There is a huge stone covering the well. If you want to go down, you must remove the huge stone. This may alarm the people in the general's palace.

"Jingli, do you know what's going on at the bottom of the well?"

"There is a lacquered red coffin with a corpse-sealing talisman on it. The secret passage at the bottom of the well is very long and leads to an extremely far distance. It is even beyond my sensing range."

"Do you know which direction it leads to?"

"To the southeast, this secret passage looks like it was opened by earth spirit root monks using earth-based techniques. There are no fixed objects around it, but it is extremely strong."

Hearing the southeast direction, Shen Qingluo immediately remembered the map drawn by Guo Yan earlier. The location of Nanruo City, the capital of the Yin Dynasty, was exactly the southeast direction of this border city.

"Jingli, can you enter this secret passage?"

"Of course you can. I can control the burning of the flames. I can go inside without damaging the boulders sealing the well."

"Then let's go check it out first and see where the end of this secret passage is."

Jingli Lihuo said hello again, and after approaching the boulder, he passed through it with a swish.

Shen Qingluo hovered in mid-air, observing everything around him while waiting for the result.

Not long after, two figures in the distance approached and came to the dry well. They moved the boulder away in twos and twos, and one of them jumped down.

Then there was a sound similar to the movement of wood. A corner of the lacquered red coffin was opened, and a strong Yin Qi came out.

The monk who jumped down was at the seventh level of Qi Refining. His face was very nervous at the moment. His right hand trembled slightly. He took out an oblate-shaped object that was completely black and stuffed it into the coffin.

A moment later, another sound of wood moving was heard, and the lacquered red coffin was closed. The eighth-level Qi Refining monk standing outside the dry well let out a rope and pulled the person underneath out.

The next moment, two very low voices came out, "Master's instructions have been successfully completed. I won't be scolded when I go back this time."

"After another half a year, I will be done, and then I can leave this place with thin spiritual energy. I have really had enough of staying here. As long as I can leave, I don't want to stay any longer!"

"Who says it's not the case? Master has cultivation treasures and doesn't care about this difference in spiritual energy. We don't have anything. After staying here for more than ten years, our cultivation has almost stagnated."

Shen Qingluo looked at the two people leaving, thoughtfully.

Judging from the names I just heard, these monks in the General's Mansion are likely to come from the same force, and judging from the corpse sealing talisman on the dark red coffin and the behavior of the monks who jumped into the dry well earlier, they are more likely to be from the Demon Sect. big.

She was about to follow up and take a look, but at this moment, the idea of ​​​​purifying the world and leaving the fire came over.

"Master, the end of this passage is where the capital of the Yin Dynasty is, and it leads directly to the palace! In addition, there are many branch roads in this passage, and I haven't seen those branch roads yet."

After hearing this, Shen Qingluo immediately sent a message and asked: "Besides the red coffin at the beginning, is there anything else in the passage?"
