The ground was covered in a haze of gray. There were thousands of Underworld King Spiders. It was likely that the monkey, Shadow, had been hiding in the bag all this time. The Underworld King Spiders crawled towards the Seven Stars Inn in droves, leaving only Lu Mingjie on the street. It turned out that the monkey, Wu Shao, had taken advantage of the time when Lu Mingjie was dealing with the Underworld King Spider to rescue Ye Mo Han and Liu Yi Yi.
Looking at those Underworld King Spiders, they all climbed up to the Seven Stars Inn's door and roof in an orderly fashion. Hundreds or dozens of them, made of silk. In less than an hour, the entire Seven Stars Tavern was covered by a huge, silver-gray spider web.
Lu Mingzi stood far away from the inn. He had already recognised that these were the Underworld King Spiders. The Underworld King Spiders' spider webs were extremely tough, and this large net was woven from thousands of them at the same time. Lu Mingjie knew that the three of them were inside, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he said in a clear voice, "Monkey Shadow, your ability to control spiders is amazing. I just wonder if these Underworld King spiders can withstand the fire." The sound was transmitted through his Qi and could be heard for miles.
In the dim tunnel, a person was lying on a simple bed. His face was pale and he was sleeping soundly. Beside the bed, there was an extremely old table. There was a man and a woman sitting there. The man was vulgar and the woman was beautiful. The two of them were naturally Monkey Wu Ying and Liu Yi Yi Yi.
The monkey, Wu Ying, had already finished helping Ye Mo Han's bones, and had given him his unique healing medicine. He assured Liu Yiyi that Ye Mo would be back to normal in seven days.
Liu Yiyi knew that Ye Mo Han's life was not in danger, so she relaxed. She kept imagining the image that would appear in her mind when Ye Mo Han and Lu Ming Jie were dueling. Who was that person? Why did he look so friendly? The more she tried to recall, the more blurry the image of the back of the person in her mind became.
Everyone may have felt this way before, and when you try to remember something or someone in the back of your mind, memory always goes against you. You know very well that that person or that thing, existed and happened, but you just can't dig it up, otherwise memory will torture you to the point of exhaustion.
Liu Yiyi was tormented by her memories, the torments causing her head to ache. It was only when she heard Lu Mingjie's words that she was able to walk out of her memories.
"Don't worry, this is the tunnel that Xu Haotian personally constructed. It's seven feet away from the ground, and it won't catch fire." Furthermore, I have already prepared food and water for half a year. Even the three of us can endure for three months. " Monkey Shapeless said complacently as he looked at Liu Yi Yi's worried face.
Liu Yiyi nodded and didn't say anything. She turned her head to look at Ye Mo, her eyes filled with worry and confusion.
Monkey Shadow laughed and said, "Little girl, this Ye Mo Han is indeed handsome, but he is destined to be in danger at any time. "Looking at the current situation, there are more people who want his life. I advise you to quickly find an honest man to marry and change your name to get away from the martial arts world."
"No one from the Jade Pavilion can die peacefully. If I didn't follow him, do you think I would have lived this long?" Liu Yiyi smelled the burnt smell in the air, and indeed, Lu Mingjie had set fire to the Seven Stars Inn.
The monkey was so angry that he scolded, "Damn it, you old fool! The Underworld King Spider that I have spent so much effort to nurture has been completely burnt by this old man!"
Liu Yiyi wanted to laugh when she saw that, but she held herself back. Suddenly, she remembered the map that the monkey Wuying had mentioned, so she asked, "What is the map that Lu Mingjie spoke of?"
Monkey Shadow was stunned for a moment. He rolled his eyes a few times, as if weighing the pros and cons. Then, he said, "That is the secret dao diagram of the Hua Shan Sect."
"Hua Shan Sect's secret passage?" Liu Yiyi mumbled.
"Yes, in this world, regardless of whether it is a sect or an individual, in order to avoid being killed or having their sect destroyed, which one of them isn't cunning and crafty, just in case." Thinking of his Underworld King Spider turning to ashes, Monkey Shadow became even more heartbroken. He told Liu Yiyi about the map and Lu Mingjie.
It turned out that the map was a detailed record of the Hua Shan secret passageway. The Hua Shan secret passageway was constructed by the founder of the Hua Mountain Sect using three thousand disciples. After 15 years, the secret passageway was completed. The 3,000 people who constructed the secret passageway were all killed by the creators of Mount Hua on the charge of conspiring against them. From then on, only the Sect Leader knew the location of the secret passage. The entrance and exit were passed on by the Sect Leader of the Hua Shan Sect from mouth to mouth. Because of the scale of the secret passage, it encompassed almost half of Mount Hua, so the founder of the Hua Shan Sect could not bear to burn the map. The founder of the sect was on the verge of death. His kindness was shown, and he felt ashamed of his three thousand disciples. He had buried a letter on the southern mountain along with the secret passage map. Monkey Shadow had also found this letter under a huge rock after stealing from Chen Shaochong in Hua Shan. That letter was filled with the creator's repentance towards the three thousand dead disciples. At the end of the letter, it was also written that no matter who got the map or if it was beneficial to the Hua Shan Sect, it was all due to the will of the heavens.
With Monkey Shadowless's personality, he would definitely follow the map into the secret passage as soon as he got it. It was also many years ago that Monkey Shadowless had walked through the secret passage of Mount Hua to prepare the ground for today's conflict with Lu Mingjie. On that day, Monkey Shadow entered the secret passageway, and during the next five days, he spent his days in the cave. He casually strolled through the secret passageway, sighing over the supernatural workmanship of the secret passageway. On the fifth day, he arrived at a stone room. There were words carved on the stone wall of the room. The monkey was reading them without a trace, and cold sweat couldn't help but pour down.
The inscription on the stone wall related to Lu Mingjie. The inscription was signed by Lin Mo Xiao's master, Zhang Yiming's father, and Lu Jie's junior brother – Zhang Dingyi. At that time, Lu Mingjie and Zhang Dingyi were both disciples of Hua Shan Sect's Sect Leader, but Lu Mingjie was obsessed with martial arts and was unwilling to talk much with others. Thus, when his Master chose the next Sect Leader, he passed the position of Sect Leader to Zhang Dingyi. Lu Mingjie's heart was filled with resentment, so he started to fight with his master. Under this competition, Lu Mingjie discovered that his martial arts had already surpassed that of his master. This caused him to be overjoyed, and he even hit his master three times, causing his master to lose his life. After knowing about this, Zhang Dingyi was determined to get revenge, but his master told him not to pursue this matter. He could only suppress his hatred in his heart and not create any new problems. And secretly exiled Lü Mingjie out of the Huashan, announced to the public that Lü Jijie's character scattered, roaming the mountains and plains.
How could Lu Mingjie leave so easily? He didn't know where the secret passage was located, so he hid within it for more than ten years. In the past ten years, he had practiced martial arts more diligently in the secret passage. He held a grudge against Zhang Dingyi and secretly spied on Zhang Dingyi and Hua Shan Sect Leader's position. In Zhang Dingyi's secret tunnel, Lu Mingjie was fighting in the cave. The two of them had been fighting in the secret tunnel for three days and three nights, and no one was able to win. After that, Zhang Dingyi was hit by Lu Mingji's poisoned weapon, causing him to lose his life in the cave. As for Lu Mingjie, he also escaped after being heavily injured by Zhang Dingyi. Zhang Dingyi knew that he could not do anything about it, so he forced himself to go to a hidden stone room and carved these things on the stone wall, hoping that one day, the disciples of the Hua Shan Sect would enter this place and see the inscription, with the exception of Lu Mingjie, who cleared the entrance for the Hua Shan Sect. However, the person who had seen those words in that stone room was the monkey, Shadowless.
Some things are always different from what you expected.
"Since you saw those words, how did Lu Mingjie know that you had seen them?" As Monkey Shadow finished speaking, Ye Mo Han had already woken up. He quietly sat up and listened attentively to Monkey Shadow's narration.
"That old thing! He was right behind me at that time, staring at me like he wanted to eat me!"
"Behind you?" Liu Yiyi didn't dare to believe it. Since Lu Mingjie is behind you, why didn't he kill you then and there? Why did he waste so much time waiting until today? Aren't you afraid that the news will spread all these years? "
Monkey Shadow said, "At that time, I was very scared and quickly ran out. He really didn't chase me, and later on I thought it might be because during his days, his cultivation went berserk and he couldn't chase me. Because when I saw his expression back then, he was dispirited, and his face had a faint green glow, just like a zombie's. "
"Your guess is right. When we fought, I already felt that his martial arts wasn't that of the Hua Shan Sect, but a mix of many different martial arts, and there was even a bit of demonic charm, especially when it came to his internal energy." Ye Chanhan analyzed.
"Makes sense." "Yeah," Shadowless Monkey agreed. After so many years, I didn't dare to spread this news because Lu Mingjie faked Zhang Dingyi's death and helped your mother sit in the position of the Hua Shan Sect's head. He successfully became the Hua Shan Sect's Great Elder. My principle is that if others don't kill me, I'll keep my secret forever. I thought that he would never come looking for me again. I didn't expect that he would come using me as a pretext to slander Hua Shan's reputation to take my life, and even wanted to take care of you. "
"It is only natural for him to take care of me. After all, everyone in the martial arts world knows that I was the one who killed Zhang Yiming. After he kills me, his prestige will increase. Although Ye Mo Han didn't have a good impression of the Hua Shan sect, he was still a bit angry when he thought of how such a person could control the Hua Shan sect.
"Listening to what Monkey Shadow said just now, I thought that Lu Mingjie is just someone who knows how to practice martial arts." If what you say is true, then his strategy is not ordinary either. " Liu Yiyi was worried. When she saw Lu Mingjiu, she immediately felt that Xu Zihai was not worth mentioning.
In the tunnel, the temperature was gradually rising. Ye Mo Han and the others already felt that it was somewhat hot and dry, and seven feet below the ground, they could still be affected. The Seven Stars Town that Xu Haotian had painstakingly managed for so many years was just burnt down like this. The way things changed and changed, who could predict that?
