Chapter 465: Xu Erniu's Aura
"The power of immortality?" Zhang Chen was taken aback. Could there really be the power of immortality in this world?
"You will naturally understand what the power of immortality is after you go there," Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen looked at the unfathomable cave, hesitating and indecisive. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and his eyes looked incredulously at the endless darkness below the cave. He noticed a trace of familiar aura: Xu Fu!
He sensed Xu Erniu's aura!
"There is actually Xu Erniu's aura under this cave?" Zhang Chen was shocked.
He knew that no matter what kind of crisis was contained under this cave, he had to go down.
"Are you going down with me, or waiting for me outside?" Zhang Chen asked Xie Lingyun.
"Of course I will go down with you, but my physical body will stay above, and my Yin spirit will go down with you for a while," Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, took out the Water-Fixing Pearl, and stuffed it into Xie Lingyun's hand: "This pearl can ensure that your physical body will not be drowned by the water."
"This pearl has the ability to avoid water. What a peculiar treasure," Xie Lingyun said, holding the Water-Fixing Pearl, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "You really have a lot of strange treasures on you."
Zhang Chen chuckled lightly upon hearing this and did not explain. Then, his figure flashed and turned into water vapor, drilling into the depths of the cave.
Xie Lingyun was shocked when she saw Zhang Chen's supernatural power: "Good method."
But she also hurriedly let her Yin spirit out of her body, closely following behind Zhang Chen. The two of them came to the bottom of the cave all the way, and then Zhang Chen revealed his true appearance.
The cave was eight hundred meters deep. The bottom of the cave was not dark. The entire cave was shimmering with a trace of green luster. In the depths of the cave, Zhang Chen could sense that Xu Erniu's aura was even stronger.
"Where is the dangerous situation you mentioned?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Go three hundred meters along this gray passage, and there will be a green light flashing. As long as you are shaken by the green light once, you will be deprived of one year of life," Xie Lingyun said, pointing to the passage in front.
The passage was very wide, ten meters high and twenty meters wide. The ground was paved with bluestone bricks, and various plants were carved on the bluestone bricks, including wild grass and Ganoderma lucidum. The seeds of the plants carved on each brick were different.
"What strange bluestone bricks. I have never seen bluestone bricks carved with various flowers, plants, and trees," Zhang Chen said curiously.
While speaking, Zhang Chen's body's ultrasound spread, spreading towards the cave. He did not detect any danger. Then, Zhang Chen took small steps and walked forward cautiously.
He was not afraid of the hunting of various mechanisms, he was only afraid of being deprived of his lifespan. He didn't have much lifespan left. If there was a means of taking away people's lifespan in the stone cave, he was afraid that once he was hit, something bad would happen.
The two passed through a long corridor, and there was a glimmer of light flashing in the distance. Then, the two came to the light, and saw that the light was actually the end of the passage.
"It's the end! Ahead is the mysterious ruin," Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen stood at the end of the passage and looked into the light. At the end of the passage was an underground basin ten miles in size. In the basin was a ruin, as if a continuous Taoist temple had been shattered.
As for the source of the light, it came from a high platform in the very center of the ruins. A little fist-sized light was flashing in the sky above the high platform. The light was like sunlight, bright and hot, illuminating the entire basin.
"This seems to be a Taoist temple. There was a great battle here. The Taoist temple was attacked by an unparalleled enemy, and the entire Taoist temple was turned into ruins and fell from the ground to the bottom of the earth," Zhang Chen gave his judgment after watching for a while.
Xie Lingyun agreed with this very much: "That's right, the same conclusion I came to."
Zhang Chen's eyes swept across the front, and he saw thirty or so corpses not far away. The corpses were all old and dying, completely dying because their vitality had come to an end.
"Those are the elites of my Inspection Division. They were accidentally deprived of their lifespan and died here. Taking our current starting point as the dividing line, every time we take a step forward, a green light will fall and deprive people of their lifespan," Xie Lingyun said solemnly: "If you are not sure, do not force your way in, lest you harm yourself."
"There is a green light that deprives people of their vitality?" Zhang Chen stood at the dividing line thoughtfully, looking at the ruins opposite, which were completely composed of jade stones of unknown material, shimmering with a strange luster.
Zhang Chen looked for a long time, but he didn't see any danger. So he turned his head and looked at Xie Lingyun: "We still need to find someone to do an experiment."
"I'll go catch a fish," Xie Lingyun's Yin spirit said, disappearing in place. Not long after, she caught a big carp and came to the field. Then, Xie Lingyun threw the carp onto the jade brick on the opposite side at will. Then, she saw that under the 'candlelight' of the high platform in the distance, a green light fell on the carp, and the carp's aura was inexplicably weakened.
Then, the carp jumped unwillingly. Every time it jumped, a green light would pass by, depriving the carp of a little vitality, until after a dozen times, the carp died of old age on the spot and could not move at all.
"What a strange method. Even Commander Xie can't resist it?" Zhang Chen asked.
"If my dad could resist, this kind of place wouldn't be your turn," Xie Lingyun said helplessly.
Zhang Chen stroked his chin, his eyes looking at his golden finger panel. It seemed that there was really no way to deal with this strange green light.
However, Zhang Chen was still Zhang Chen. He had read countless books in Wuzhuang Temple, and he was no longer the newbie who had just entered the cultivation world. He only pondered for a while and already had an idea. He put his right hand to his mouth and spat out the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror from the Bashe space.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't want to use the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to break the green light. He just wanted to try whether the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror could reflect the green light.
Zhang Chen touched the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and saw that the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror slowly opened, revealing a glossy mirror surface.
Then, Zhang Chen held the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror in his hand, and a drop of water from his trouser leg slipped unnoticed to the ground. If the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror could not resist the green light, he would directly teleport out. He was such a cautious person, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation. After considering all the processes, Zhang Chen took a step into the cave without changing his expression.
"Be careful!" Xie Lingyun was shocked when she saw Zhang Chen rashly stepping into the cave, and shouted.
Of course Zhang Chen was very careful. He had only taken one step into it, and saw that the green light arrived in an instant, not giving Zhang Chen a chance to take a second step at all. The green light was too fast, and it had already come to Zhang Chen in the blink of an eye, about to envelop Zhang Chen. At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror in his hand flashed a strange luster, and actually attracted and absorbed the green light.
Then, Zhang Chen could feel a strange emotion coming from the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror in his hand. The emotion seemed to be satisfaction, joy, and impatience.
"Huh? My Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror can actually absorb that green light?" Zhang Chen was surprised: "What is the origin of that green light? It can actually nourish the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror?"
"It's blocked!" Xie Lingyun stood outside and saw that the square bronze mirror in Zhang Chen's hand had actually resolved the green light, and a look of ecstasy appeared in her eyes.
Zhang Chen stepped back and came to Xie Lingyun's side: "Sister, follow me closely, let's go in together."
Xie Lingyun hurriedly followed Zhang Chen, and the two stepped into it. The next moment, they saw two green light pillars flashing by, and then Zhang Chen's Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror took the initiative to meet them, swallowing the two green lights like drinking water.
"What a treasure!" Xie Lingyun stared at the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror with wide eyes, her eyes full of curiosity: "What is the origin of your treasure? It actually has such abilities?"
She found that she could not understand this younger brother more and more, and he even had such incredible treasures.
"It's just an ordinary, somewhat strange mirror," Zhang Chen said.
The Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror was of great importance, and he didn't want to tell Xie Lingyun the details. Even the closest people should have some reservations.
Xie Lingyun was a smart person, and knew that Zhang Chen didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions, and followed Zhang Chen towards the ruins.
The entire ruin was like a high-rise building that had been bombed by a large missile. It looked dilapidated, with only a rough framework remaining, and the rest were completely destroyed.
"The high platform over there..." Xie Lingyun pointed towards the high platform.
Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, and followed Xie Lingyun towards the high platform. As the two walked, green lights attacked, all becoming nourishment for his treasure mirror.
The two did not walk fast, watching the situation in the ruins as they walked. After the two had walked more than eight hundred meters, suddenly a strange noise came from the ruins, stopping Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun's footsteps.
"There's movement," Xie Lingyun looked at the ruins, a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
Zhang Chen looked at the ruins with a wary expression, only to see the ruins constantly making rustling sounds, and then smoke and dust rose everywhere. A figure broke through the ruins and stood out from the ruins.
At the moment of seeing the figure, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is impossible!"
Because he knew the figure in front of him, it was a figure that should never have appeared in this era.
Who is that figure?
Bai Lu!
Bai Lu, the former head of the four disciples of Wuzhuang Temple.
"Oh, it's you! You look a little familiar!" Bai Lu stabilized her figure, still looking like she did back then, looking up and down at Zhang Chen, a hint of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes:
"Have we met somewhere before?"
"Who is he? Do you know him?" Xie Lingyun heard Zhang Chen's exclamation, and had already noticed something, and asked.
"I know him!" Zhang Chen subtly blocked Xie Lingyun behind him: "Run! Run as far as you can, and never come back."
"Is the enemy difficult to deal with?" Xie Lingyun heard Zhang Chen's words, and her pupils shrank, a hint of horror in her eyes. She had never seen Zhang Chen show this expression before.
