Chapter 1098 Little Plot

"Ning Baimei, is this a weird name?"

Qing Longzi asked calmly.

Qing Songzi grinned and said, "Xiao Ning, your name is nothing special, but this place is too dangerous for you. In my opinion, you'd better not stay here. Do you want us brothers to take you away?"

"Send me away..."

Ning Baimei's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he laughed: "But there are so many twists and turns here, and there are forks everywhere. How can we find the way back?"

"Oh, what a big deal."

Qingsongzi raised his eyebrows: "Let's go and see."

"Yes, we will send you away." Qing Longzi also said calmly: "If your elders find out that you are lost, they will be worried."

Although the two were young, they had a tacit understanding. They both saw that Ning Baimei was hiding a secret, so they began to test him quietly.

Of course, they also have secrets, and they don't want these secrets to be exposed.

Qinglongzi himself was not hiding anything. He simply felt that with Ning Baimei's ability, it was too dangerous to go deep into the cave... Although there were many red demons, they were not very powerful, which was not a problem. But who knows what else is here?
Green pine nuts are obviously different.

Qing Longzi could see that his senior brother had begun to doubt the young man in front of him, and even... had some hostility towards him.

But it's no big deal.

They have always had different ideas as brothers, but this does not prevent them from having a tacit understanding that others cannot achieve.

"Hmm...Is that so?"

Ning Baimei pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then please take care of me and leave."

The two brothers from the Zhenxian Palace couldn't figure out what he was going to do, but since the other party agreed with what they said, they had no objection and began to lead Ning Baimei, relying on the direction they remembered, first climbed up the cliff, returned to the corridor, and began to walk back along the corridor.

But this time, something went wrong.

"its not right!"

Qing Songzi stared at the forks in the road ahead, with all ten fingers inserted into his hair: "It wasn't like this when we came here!"

"Could it be that when you came here, you didn't notice the fork in the road?" Ning Baimei asked.

Qing Longzi frowned and shook his head: "No, we can't even remember the way."

He looked at Qingsongzi: "Brother, find Luying."

"Oh, yes."

Qingsongzi responded, reached into his sleeve and took out a small glass bottle with a tiny firefly dancing inside.

He smiled, unscrewed the bottle cap and released the fireflies.

The three boys stared at the little bug, watching it emit a faint glow, slowly fly out of the bottle, and start spinning in place.

"This little bug has a pair."

Qing Longzi explained: "Before we entered this place, we also released one outside. As long as the distance is no more than a hundred miles, it can lead us to find our companions."

"Amazing." Ning Baimei praised: "But it seems...it can't find the way."

While he was talking, the little bug kept spinning in the same place.

"That's not right? Are you stupid?"

Qingsongzi came forward and stared at Cross-Eyes, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Before he could do anything, the little bug suddenly accelerated and slammed into the stone wall beside it!

Then, it extinguished its firefly and fell lightly to the ground.

Qing Longzi: “…”

Qingsongzi: “…”

Ning Baimei: "Uh...it, committed suicide by hitting its head against the wall?"

Qing Longzi took a step forward, squatted down, picked up the little bug on the ground, looked at it, and said helplessly, "It's dead."

"Damn, this place is a bit weird?" Qingsongzi sweated on his forehead.

He and Qinglongzi looked at each other, and their eyes unconsciously swept over the package containing the Tai Chi fish, and then immediately looked away.

With the Taiji fish, they will definitely be able to find the deepest secrets of the cave, but they don't plan to take Ning Baimei with them... This kid is too dishonest and has some plans. Although they are young, they have gained some basic experience in the mountains during these days of training. "Okay, let me tell you a fortune."

Qingsongzi said this as he squatted down, grabbed a handful of wet soil and crushed it between his fingertips.

"Kan Water, Gen Mountain, Xun Wind, Li Fire"

He stared at the mud on his fingertips with wide eyes and said firmly, "The hexagram says it's auspicious to walk to the left!"

"Got it, go right."

Qing Longzi walked straight to the fork in the road on the right, turned around and said, "My senior brother told me about my marriage last time, and he said that the girl's horoscope was wood, which would bring prosperity to her husband. But it turned out that the girl was from a butcher's family, and her horoscope had the Seven Killings. On the day she got married, her husband's family lost a lot of money."

Ning Baimei chuckled, Qingsongzi's face flushed and he kicked the stone wall: "That time, the tortoise shell cracked!"

But no matter what, he shook his head, sighed, and followed Qinglongzi into the right fork.

Ning Baimei smiled and followed closely.

It took another two incense sticks of time to walk away.

As we walked, something started to go wrong. Dark green water droplets began to seep out of the rock wall, and the soles of our boots felt sticky as if we were stepping on some internal organ.

Qing Longzi frowned, flared his nose, and sniffed: "It smells rotten."

There was indeed a rotten smell, and Qingsongzi and Ning Baimei also smelled it at the same time.

After walking a few steps forward and turning a corner, the stench suddenly became stronger.

An underground river stretched before our eyes.

The three young men's pupils shrank at the same time!

The water surface was glowing a phosphorescent blue. Not far from their feet, a few white finger bones were stuck in the cracks of the reef, swaying with the waves.

"What the hell is this place..."

Qingsongzi looked upstream - there was a small waterfall less than ten feet in diameter, which was caused by the sudden drop in the riverbed. At the top of the small waterfall, there were countless white bones stuck in the cracks of the rocks!

"Have many people died here?" Ning Baimei asked, hugging his arms.

“It may not be a human.”

Qing Longzi had the calmest expression. He even stepped forward and fished out a finger bone from the river, holding it in front of his eyes to examine it. “Those red devils are smaller than humans, but they are similar to humans. Could they be theirs?”

"Should we not stay here?"

Ning Baimei hissed, "I feel this place is so gloomy..."

"Wait..." Qingsongzi pondered, "I heard there's a river underground, and if we just follow the water, we can get out?"

"Then let's go down to the river."

Qinglongzi nodded.

After saying that, he walked towards the river without hesitation.

Seeing this, a strange look flashed in Ning Baimei's eyes.

However, before he could say or do anything, and before Qinglongzi stepped into the river, an inconspicuous breeze suddenly swept over.

Qingsongzi was the first to be hit. His eyes rolled back and he fainted without any warning.

Qinglongzi was stunned, and before he could react, he was swept by the breeze and fell to the ground with a plop, falling beside the river.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard an old voice.

"Ning boy, who the hell told you to trick them into the river?!"

"I have to clean up the mess again..."

"Huh? They actually brought the Yin Yang fish?"

Ning Baimei didn't say anything, only the old man's voice sounded in his ears.

Qinglongzi's eyebrows twitched, he wanted to open his eyes and see clearly what was in front of him, but the feeling of drowsiness was too strong, he could no longer hold on, and his consciousness was gradually swallowed by the darkness.

The last words he could hear made him very uneasy...

"We have to... erase their memories..."
