Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 575 The Secret of the Dry Well

   "cough cough cough~"

   "This wind and sand is too big!"

   Li Sao cursed and patted the dust off his body, leaned against the wall and exhaled deeply.

   But Li Chen next to him seemed to have other thoughts.

   "Huanhua Secret Realm."

   This is the name that little monk Ying Hui called out when Liuyun Flying Boat disintegrated.

  He probably meant to let everyone meet in the 'Huanhua Secret Realm'.

   Being able to call out this name at the moment when the big ship's barrier collapsed shows that little monk Ying Hui is quite familiar with this place.

  From the moment he stepped on the flying cloud boat, Li Chen guessed that the Landa Temple was probably hidden in Xunhuang between Lihuang and Kunhuang.

   I didn't expect to be guessed correctly by myself.

   "If 'Huanhua Secret Realm' is a place name, how should we find it?" Li Sao Chao's mountain wall revealed half of his head.

  The wind was stronger than before, and even the gray fog became heavier.

   Li Chen frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Master Ying Hui is probably familiar with this place, so he was able to say this name at such an urgent moment at the end."

   "Moreover, this 'Huanhua Secret Realm' is probably nearby."

  Thinking of this, Li Chen directly took out a beast control card and released Hai Dongqing.

  喵~

  A clear cry resounded through the sky.

  Covering Snow just spread his wings, and he has already jumped out of the mountain wall.

   And for a moment, another look appeared in Lichen's mind.

  The strong wind is a burden for Liuyun Flying Boat, but for Costin, it can only make it fly faster and faster.

   Soon Li Chen's eyes lit up, and indeed in the gray fog, Hai Dongqing could see further.

   Even three or four miles to the south of the stone wall, a few figures faintly flashed by.

  At that moment, Li Chen didn't hesitate anymore, he quickly pulled Li Sao up, and walked in that direction despite the wind and dust.

  Because it was getting late and the sky was covered by gray fog, the two could only move forward by groping.

   But what is even more strange is that I saw someone walking by just now, but now there is nothing in front of me.

"strangeness."

   "Did I read it wrong?"

   Li Chen looked around subconsciously.

   It's still foggy, and it's hard to see clearly.

  Where did the figure that Fu Xue saw just now come from?

  Li Chen was thinking carefully, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

  I saw a clear footprint on the ground.

  Xunhuang has been covered by gray fog for a long time, and it is difficult for sunlight to shine in, so there is not much vegetation here.

   But there is always a fresh layer of dust on the ground.

  As long as you walk, you will leave footprints.

   Over time, new dust will cover the footprints again.

  But at this moment, the footprints in front of him are extremely clear, which means that someone did walk by here just now.

  The two were overjoyed when they saw this, and quickly followed the traces on the ground to find it.

  After about a cup of tea, the two stood in front of a dry well and looked at each other.

  The footprints just now came to an abrupt end.

   "Impossible, why did the footprints suddenly disappear?" Li Sao walked around the dry well to make sure there was no trace.

  He couldn't help touching his bald head with a puzzled face: "Did he go to heaven?"

   Li Chen looked at the dry well, thoughtful.

  The edge of this dry well is more than three feet above the ground, and the whole body is made of hard rock.

  Suddenly, his heart moved, and he smiled lightly: "It's impossible to go to the sky, but it's very possible to go to the earth."

   "Go to the ground?"

  Li Sao was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked towards the bottom of the well, but only saw a dark patch.

   "Brother, you mean...they went down the well?"

  Li Chen nodded, and under Li Sao's puzzled gaze, he stretched out a finger and rubbed it lightly on the edge of the well.

   Just a thin layer of dust on the fingertips.

This shows what?

   It shows that people often wipe here, or people often pass by.

   Li Sao was taken aback when he heard the words: "Live at the bottom of a well?!"

  Li Chen nodded, and explained without any curiosity: "We walked along the way just now, and the surroundings are all wilderness without weeds."

   "I didn't even see half the house.

  Instead, we only walked a few miles, but we saw three dry wells. "

   "A dry well can be seen at intervals.

  The key is that every dry well here is similar to the one in front of you. "

   "The most curious thing is that the dry well should be used to draw water before it dries up.

  But above the wellheads in front of you, there are no tools for fetching water such as potter's wheels.

   There is no trace of use on the edge of the well. "

   "It's too strange that these wells appear together again."

  Li Sao groped subconsciously, then nodded immediately.

   "Since it is a well, it must have been used before the water dried up.

  But the dry wells in front of them didn't show any signs of being used. "

   "It is indeed suspicious."

   Li Chen pointed to the gray mist in the sky again, and speculated: "Conversely, the dust here is extremely large. If houses are built on the ground, it will inevitably be invaded by dust."

   "But if you live underground, then all this makes sense."

  Li Sao nodded, suddenly realized: "As expected of senior brother."

   "So, nine out of ten of them live underground."

   "It's just how do we enter?"

   "Just jump down?"

  Hearing this, Li Chen shook his head and raised an arm. The next moment, swarms of second-generation blood-winged devil mosquitoes swarmed into the dry well.

   After a few breaths, Li Chen received the feedback.

   Sure enough, it was as I guessed!

  No more hesitation at the moment, just jump down.

  After a few seconds of free fall, Li Chen's feet stopped, and he had already stepped on the bottom of the well.

  The distance from the bottom of the well to the mouth of the well is less than ten feet, and the ground under the feet is hard. It is obvious that the well itself is a disguise.

   Directly in front of him, there is a passage as high as a person, and a faint light can be seen at the end of the passage.

  Seeing this, Li Chen's eyes lit up, there really is another world here.

   Immediately stepped aside from the bottom of the well, stood sideways in the passageway, and motioned for Li Sao to also jump down.

  Only hearing a muffled sound of 'dong', Li Sao landed successfully.

  The two walked along the passage, one in front and one behind.

   After walking a certain distance, the two came to the other side of the passage.

   Li Chen looked in along the passage, and there was a long and narrow staircase in front of him.

   Down the steps, the scene in front of them surprised the two of them.

  Row upon row of buildings, crowds of people in twos and threes.

  Passing traffic, and even noisy hawking.

   It was a thriving scene!

  The two looked at each other and looked at each other.

  I originally thought that the bottom of the well was dark, and it should be gloomy and dead, but now not only is there no gloomy and dead silence, but the four walls emit a faint fluorescent light.

  It is obviously underground, but it is actually brighter than the outside world.

  Lichen took a closer look curiously, and found that there was a layer of white moss growing on the stone wall, and all the light was emitted by this moss.
