#554 - Chapter 553: Soldiers' Cave
In the end, only the Left Divine Envoy, Fire Crow Taoist, and Zhang Yuanjing went to the rear hall. Zhang Xuan wanted to go, but the Left Divine Envoy stopped him.
This time, the Left Divine Envoy didn't stop in his ridiculously simple bedroom, but went straight through the room and into the rear hall.
Compared to the tall and wide front hall, the space in the rear hall suddenly became narrow, with a height of no more than five zhang and a length and width of only seven or eight zhang. The most conspicuous were eight white pillars, arranged in a star shape. Each pillar was as thick as two people could embrace, and they were engraved with patterns of black dragons in the sky, giving off a mysterious and unpredictable aura.
In the center of the eight pillars, there was a square portal, about fifteen feet in size.
The Left Divine Envoy quickly circled the eight pillars, tapping each of them a few times. With a creak, the portal opened, revealing a dark cave.
"Two Envoys, this is the entrance to the Hidden Soldiers Cave." The Left Divine Envoy walked to the edge of the portal, looking down and saying, "The predecessors of the Divine Sect named it the Hidden Soldiers Cave, which has a profound meaning, probably the same as the Nirvana Sacrifice, containing the meaning of preserving strength and rising again in the future. Of course, now that the Divine Sect is strong, the Candle Dragon Hall has been built here, and the entrance is marked with the appearance of a portal, which is really inconsistent with the 'hidden' character of the Hidden Soldiers Cave. However, the place is still this place, the most fundamental important place of my Divine Sect. As long as the Nine Yin Abyss is still there, the Candle Dragon can be preserved, and with the Candle Dragon, the Divine Sect can continue to thrive and be passed down forever!"
Zhang Yuanjing and Fire Crow Taoist moved closer and looked down, only to see a patch of darkness below, unable to see anything.
"The Hidden Soldiers Cave is hundreds of zhang deep underground, protected by a formation, so it can't be seen or explored with divine sense. Allow me to go down and pave the way for the two Envoys!"
After the Left Divine Envoy finished speaking, he stepped into the wide-open cave, disappearing in an instant, and even divine sense couldn't capture a trace of him.
After four or five breaths, a ball of red light suddenly emerged from below, like magma erupting from a volcano, rushing upwards rapidly.
Knowing that it was just light and there was no danger, the two couldn't help but take two steps back, clearing the space around the exit.
In an instant, the red light shone on the roof of the rear hall, only a square the size of the cave entrance, neither hot nor cold, no different from ordinary sunlight.
At this time, the voice of the Left Divine Envoy came from the extremely distant depths below: "Two Envoys, entering this red light will transport you to the Hidden Soldiers Cave below. Please step down!"
Fire Crow Taoist transmitted his voice to Zhang Yuanjing: "Yuanjing, let's go, be careful in everything. Fortunately, the cave below is underground, and you can escape with earth遁 at any time. If there is a sudden change, don't be distracted by fighting, escape as soon as possible."
Zhang Yuanjing nodded silently.
The two entered the red light together, and with a flash before their eyes, they arrived at a spacious and bright place. Looking around, it was indeed a huge cave, with hundreds of night-luminescent stones inlaid on the cave ceiling and surrounding walls, illuminating the cave clearly.
This cave was about four to five hundred zhang in size. If the degree of crowding was not considered, it could accommodate more than 100,000 people. It seemed that the 30,000 people Zhang Xuan mentioned were indeed deliberately said by the Left Divine Envoy.
"Left Divine Envoy, are we going to bless the Candle Dragon here?" Fire Crow Taoist asked with some doubt.
The Left Divine Envoy smiled gently, raised his finger and pointed to the stone wall on the north side of the cave, saying, "Of course not. There, there is a zhang-wide gap. After going down, it is the real Hidden Soldiers Cave. The cave above is just used to arrange the formation."
As he spoke, he walked towards the north side of the stone wall. The two quickly followed. When they reached the base of the wall, they saw that the wall was more than ten feet away from the ground, and the bottom was indeed empty.
The Left Divine Envoy jumped down, falling straight down. The two followed suit, falling more than a hundred zhang before their feet touched the ground.
This was also a cave, much larger than the cave above, but without those night-luminescent stones. Only faint yellow light emerged from the walls that seemed very far away, slightly dispelling the dense darkness in the cave, allowing the two to see slightly with the help of their divine sense.
In front of them, the Left Divine Envoy had already moved forward into the cave. The two followed, only to discover that there was actually a black water pool more than one hundred and fifty zhang in size in front of them, the water rippling like boiling water.
The hard ground behind was at least four hundred zhang in size, appearing very empty.
The divine sense of the two swept out, encountering the water surface, as if being blocked by a soft cushion. No matter how it extended, it could not penetrate the black water to investigate below the surface.
"This is the entrance to the Nine Yin Abyss, and the Candle Dragon is sleeping in the extremely deep place below!" The Left Divine Envoy pointed to the black water pool and said, "As for how the two of you want to bestow blessings, it has nothing to do with Lu. Please do as you see fit, Lu will wait in the hall above."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to speak, with a flash, he disappeared.
Fire Crow Taoist stretched out his right hand, took out a light white spirit talisman from his storage bracelet, and gently pinched it. A ball of white light emerged, enveloping him and Zhang Yuanjing. This was a simple isolation talisman. Once divine sense probed from the outside, it would shatter.
"Yuanjing, do you think this Left Divine Envoy really doesn't care about us healing the divine beast, or is he confident that he has a way to prevent us from healing the divine beast?" Fire Crow Taoist looked up, his eyes filled with worry.
"Perhaps he doesn't care. Judging from yesterday's situation, he doesn't seem to be able to control the divine beast," Zhang Yuanjing said after a moment of contemplation.
Fire Crow Taoist shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Those Right Divine Envoys are not fools. They united to oppose the Left Divine Envoy's opinion and insisted that we heal the divine beast first, it must be because it is unfavorable to the Left Divine Envoy. My opinion is that if the Left Divine Envoy wants to control the divine beast, or deal with the divine beast, it must be on the premise that it is weak. Healing the divine beast must be something he doesn't want to see. Therefore, he may attack us."
"Here? Isn't he worried about the divine beast coming out?" Zhang Yuanjing asked, "Moreover, if something happens to us, he won't be able to explain it to the other parties, right?"
"He only needs to prevent us from healing the divine beast, without harming our lives. Perhaps, he can prevent us from communicating with the divine beast, or isolate us from the divine beast, so that it doesn't notice we are here. Didn't he say that the space above is actually a large formation!"
Fire Crow Taoist pointed to the top of his head, frowning and said, "The Left Divine Envoy has sole control over the communication with the divine beast. This person has absolute initiative in the Nirvana Sacrifice and supporting the Sect Leader, which are fundamental matters concerning the Candle God Sect. Normally speaking, the Right Divine Envoy, White Dharma King, and the others should not agree to start the Nirvana Sacrifice! The Right Divine Envoy, Gold Dharma King, and White Dharma King were initially opposed to the sacrifice and had secretly discussed tampering with the sacrificial materials. Why did they change their original intentions and go in the opposite direction? The White Dharma King actually took the initiative to request transporting the sacrificial materials to the main altar. What is the reason for this? It can't be because of our arrival that they changed their minds, right!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If we can figure out these questions, we can take advantage of the situation and break the game! The problems left over by the Candle God Sect for thousands of years are indeed complex! It seems that the following situation will be very dangerous!"
Fire Crow Taoist chuckled: "I, this old Taoist, have experienced many dangers in my life, walking on the edge of life and death many times. As long as I take a wrong step, my bones will be gone. This time, although the situation is difficult and treacherous, it has not reached a dead end. I'm just wondering, besides the Gold Dharma King, which other party can we unite with to increase our strength and increase our chances of winning."
"White Dharma King?" Zhang Yuanjing said casually, then realized that it was a bit rash and shook his head repeatedly, "He doesn't seem to get along with the Gold Dharma King, I'm afraid he can't become an ally."
Fire Crow Taoist pointed to the black water pool in front of him and said, "What I, this old Taoist, am talking about is this divine beast!"
Zhang Yuanjing was taken aback: "Inheritance Divine Beast? How can it... um, it's possible! After all, it didn't hesitate to expose its own strength and sent out an revelation acknowledging our identities as Divine Grace Envoys!"
Fire Crow Taoist nodded and said: "That's right, that's one of the reasons why I want to form an alliance with it. Another reason is that everyone else, except for the Gold Dharma King, cannot become our allies. The Left Divine Envoy has no basis for cooperation with us. The Right Divine Envoy, according to the Gold Dharma King, is a brutal person. The White Dharma King not only doesn't get along with the Gold Dharma King, but also clearly has deep-seated plans and probably won't trust us. As for the Azure Dharma King and Red Dharma King, they are weak and must have relied on the Right Divine Envoy, or at least stood on the side of the Right Divine Envoy."
"In this case, it seems that this divine beast, which should be the strongest, most respected, and have the most say, has become the weaker party. And you, Yuanjing, said that it is a heaven and earth strange insect that has lived for I don't know how many years, and it must be very proud, how can it be manipulated! In this way, we have the possibility of cooperating with it. Of course, this depends first on whether it can break through the Left Divine Envoy's obstruction and appear here. It also depends on its wisdom, whether it can be comparable to the Bi Zhu you saw!"
After the two decided on their opinions, Fire Crow Taoist broke the white light curtain, each took out a futon, and sat cross-legged on the soil. The turbid air here was thick. Fire Crow Taoist was sitting cross-legged, but he was just putting on airs, pretending to be calm and composed. Zhang Yuanjing, however, could rely on the deeply changed power of thick earth to slowly refine the turbid air for his own use.
Time passed breath by breath, and soon an hour passed. The Left Divine Envoy didn't know where he was and hadn't shown up, but the Inheritance Divine Beast was nowhere to be seen.
In the black water pool not far in front of the two, apart from the crackling bubbles and the occasionally windless water waves, there were no other abnormalities. The two were not in a hurry, and always kept their eyes closed, looking like they were practicing with all their hearts.
After another half an hour, a hissing sound suddenly appeared above the heads of the two, as if stones were moving.
The two suddenly opened their eyes and looked up. In the darkness above, five-colored lights suddenly flashed, clearly illuminating the yellow mud at the top of the cave and the black round stones inlaid in it.
These round stones were the same size, all about one foot in size, extremely round and smooth, obviously man-made. As the light flickered, these round stones moved and changed positions rapidly, making Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, who were watching below, feel dizzy. After a breath, the light disappeared, the round stones stopped moving, and everything returned to calm.
At this time, a voice came from the dim and empty space: "You're finally here! What a strong anti-qi smell! Hahaha!"
