I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

"Bang bang bang."

"Is anyone here?"

Xing Rao spoke again, this time using almost all her strength.

But still no one paid any attention inside.

Xing Rao fell down in front of the inn in discomfort and took out the golden jade leaves from his bag.

"Requesting to see Elder Tongding..."

As soon as she finished speaking, it was more effective than knocking on the door several times just now.

The door that was originally tightly closed was suddenly opened slowly from the inside.

The door creaked open, and Xing Rao saw an old man in a gray robe.

The gray-robed old man's face was covered by his hat, leaving only the lower half of his nose and mouth exposed.

He had a long white beard hanging from his chin, like an old goat, which almost covered the lower half of his face.

Xing Rao's face showed a hint of joy: "Are you the elder?"

As she spoke, she held the golden jade leaf in her hand a little further forward.

At this time, the golden jade leaves made the three big words "Tongding Pavilion" appear more clearly.

Looking at this golden jade leaf, the gray-robed old man in front of him seemed to have thought of something, with his eyes floating.

The old man stepped forward and helped Xing Rao up, walked him all the way into the house and closed the door.

There was a young man in the room, dressed in simple clothes, who handed her a chair and warm water.

Xing Rao took the warm water without hesitation and gulped it down. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief like a cactus that finally came back to life in the desert.

Not until she sighed in comfort did the old man's hoarse voice slowly open up.

"Are you Ye Yan's apprentice?"

Xing Rao wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, nodded repeatedly, and handed over the golden jade leaf again.

"You are the elder of Tongding Pavilion, right?"

She asked cautiously with hope in her eyes.

This golden jade leaf started to get hot since it was discovered here. It must be the Tongding Pavilion she had been looking for.

As expected, the old man took off his gray cannon hat and nodded.

"it's me."

The old man's face was particularly haggard due to years of hard work, and his appearance was really not much different from that of the old goat.

A pair of eyes were closed and did not open.

But the closed look looked extremely strange.

It's like...

It seemed as if his eyeballs had been dug out from their eye sockets long ago.

Realizing this, Xing Rao's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked, "Lord, your eyes..."

The elder waved his hand: "It's nothing serious. If you want to know something, follow me."

Xing Rao could only nod and follow the elder, going deeper into the inner room.

Unexpectedly, this small inn that looks dilapidated from the outside actually has a whole new world inside!

The elder took her around the simple inn and opened a door. Behind the door was a room that was empty without any shelter.

The wide wooden floorboards creaked underfoot.

As soon as Xing Rao stepped on it, he felt that it was hollow underneath.

Looking up, there was a dilapidated window in the room, and the surface of the window was covered with a layer of yellow sand. Looking around, only a few clusters of cacti standing not far away looked somewhat alive.

If you look at it for a long time, you will always have the illusion that you are being wrapped up in it.

Xing Rao was in a daze for a while, then he saw the elder raise his foot and knock lightly on the ground twice.

The originally empty floor slowly retreated, revealing a huge, empty black hole.

At the moment when the mechanism completely stopped, clusters of flames suddenly emerged from the mouth of the black hole.

A long downward staircase appeared before my eyes. The passage was about two meters wide. Flames were hung on both sides of the stone wall, and they were lit one by one, extending all the way to the bottom.

There's not even a clear end in sight.

"follow me."

The elder spoke again, and this hoarse voice brought Xing Rao back to his senses. He felt that the voice of the person in front of him seemed to have been crushed by yellow sand.

She followed them in, but the young man above did not go in with them. Instead, he stood guard at the entrance of the corridor after the two of them entered.

The moment the two of them entered, the sounds around them seemed to stop at the same time, leaving only the crisp sound of their footsteps as they went deeper and deeper.

Xing Rao even slowed down his breathing a lot.

I don’t know how long I walked in this long corridor, but it seemed like I couldn’t feel the end of time.

It was not until Xing Rao was exhausted that he finally landed on the ground from the last step.

When she looked up, she was stunned by the scene before her.

When she was up there, she thought this inn was the same as Hongmeng Pavilion, just an ordinary inn on the surface, but actually housing many disciples. However, after landing, she saw no disciples in front of her.

In such a big inn, there were only the elder and the young man outside.

But there is indeed a different world below.

A huge collection pavilion that stretches as far as the eye can see.

On both sides are various books that have long been out of print in the world. Further back are several long rows of shelves filled with various exotic potions.

Gold, silver, jewelry and the like seem too trivial here.

On the exhibition stand are round crystal glass balls, inside which are thriving living organisms that emit a fluorescent glow.

This place is more like the source of growth for all things!

Xing Rao was horrified and felt that he had been at a disadvantage.

If she had known there was such an opportunity, she should have brought Mingchuan along, and she shouldn't have come here alone.

The elder in front seemed not to notice her shock at all, and led his men to walk deeper. After a while, a majestic statue stood on the central observation platform.

Before he even got close, Xing Rao could feel the extreme pressure emanating from the statue.

As I got closer, a few rays of light suddenly lit up on the edge of the table.

The light illuminates the statue.

It was a phoenix statue that was over three meters tall...

The statue was fiery red all over and looked quite old. Its wings were spread out softly yet powerfully, controlling the entire space under its wings.

The feathers all over its body are like thick stone armor, tightly covering and wrapping its body. Its eyes are sharp, and its mouth is portrayed vividly, as if you can hear the sharp and loud hissing sound coming out of its mouth.

A cluster of flames suddenly ignited, and Xing Rao almost thought that the fire phoenix came to life!

Sacred, noble, solemn...

It gives people a feeling that they dare not invade at all!

And as if noticing Xing Rao's gaze, those sharp eyes seemed to move slightly unintentionally.

Xing Rao subconsciously shifted his gaze and saw the elder calmly and slowly approaching the Fire Phoenix.

He gently placed the golden jade leaf under the statue.

In a trance, Xing Rao seemed to see the golden jade leaf slowly floating up into the sky and embedded in a part of the fire phoenix.

But in the blink of an eye, the golden jade leaf was still there intact.

But it no longer has the luster it once had.
