C1642 Underground secrets
The street was bustling with noise and excitement, filled with the citizens of the Ahimis. Xia Lei and Lan Ji'er both changed into hooded robes, using the hoods to cover their faces and heads before they "safely" arrived at the Sky Temple.
The entire city was immersed in the festivities. Only the Temple in the Sky was quiet. After all, it was a sacred place and no one dared to drink or make a ruckus here.
Upon entering the hall, the two Ahimis women knelt down in a pious manner. Xia Lei also knelt down in front of the God of the sky's statue, then said in his heart, "Great God of the sky, I'm sorry, I borrowed your prestige and appearance. If you want to blame something, blame it on me, don't blame my wife, she's innocent ?"
Lan Ji'er's little mouth also muttered, "Great God of the sky, please bestow me a child, no, two, a boy and a girl, it would be best if I could conceive two at a time, giving birth to two children is very painful, I only need to experience pain once ?"
It was enough if she wanted to have both children and children, but was afraid of having children that would hurt.
Porisi also said something, it sounded like a scripture often recited by priests, it was very incomprehensible.
After kneeling to the God of the sky, Xia Lei and Lan Ji'er followed Porisi to the basement where she lived.
The basement that Porisi lived in did not have any windows or air vents. The dim yellow light illuminated the basement. There was only a bed, a stool, and no other furniture in the basement. Porisi's clothes were all piled up on the bedside, to the point that her bed looked a little messy.
Xia Lei's heart soured slightly. He could tell with a glance that Porisi's days were going to be very tough. After all, Porisi had been his woman before and had a period of love with him. Now that he saw how difficult she had been, his heart really didn't feel good.
"Porisi, is this the life you wanted?" Xia Lei looked at Porisi and asked her, "You said that you want to become a priest, but when I saw this, my heart felt a little uncomfortable.
Porisi lowered her head, and did not dare look into Xia Lei's eyes, "I ? I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. The clergy have their classes too, so I'm at the lowest level. If they can give me a place to live, I'll be satisfied. "
A hint of jealousy flashed past Lan Ji'er's eyes, but she did not anger Xia Lei in her heart. If Xia Lei did not care about a woman who had been good to him and ignored his terrible situation, would he still be the Xia Lei who was loyal to his?
"Porisi, you said that the priest of the Sky Temple escaped, right?" Lan Ji'er said.
Porisi answered, "Yes, after the Captain of the Blue Day Army died, he received the news and then fled with some valuable things."
If the Ice Plains City's revolution were to fail, the nobles would slaughter a portion of the commoners and rebuild their prestige, making it so that no one dared to challenge their rights and authority. However, if the commoners were successful, the nobles, whose hands were stained with blood, would definitely be afraid of the retaliation of the commoners. Thus, escaping became the most sensible choice.
Lan Ji'er was silent for a moment, then said: "Porisi, from now on, you are the priest of the Sky Temple."
"Huh?" Porisi was immediately stunned, unable to believe what she had heard.
Lan Ji'er held Porisi's hand, "You are my husband's good friend and neighbor, I knew that you were a very good woman, your heart is kind and you have a pious heart. A good person like you is completely qualified to be a priest in the temple."
"But I ?" Porisi wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lan Ji'er said: "Don't say anymore, I am your leader now, this is my first decision, do you want my first decision to become meaningless?"
"No, that ? I'll try. " A layer of blue mist rose from Porisi's eyes. Becoming a priest of the temple was a lifelong dream for a devout believer like her. She definitely wanted to become a priest, but she didn't expect her dream to come true so easily.
"Alright, take us to the secret passageway that you've discovered." Lan Ji'er said.
"Mm, you guys wait a moment." Porisi walked to her bedside, then used both hands to support the edge of the bed and pushed her bed towards the corner of the wall.
Xia Lei was looking at the walls, he thought that the secret passageway was behind the wall, and only after seeing Porisi's actions did he realize that the secret passageway was under her bed.
Pouting his butt and pushing the bed, Porisi's butt was perfectly round and tight, giving off a unique, beautiful feeling.
Xia Lei was originally looking at the ground beneath the bed, but the feeling he gave others was that he was looking at Porisi's butt. In the end, Lan Ji'er, who had followed his line of sight, reached out her hand and pinched his butt.
Xia Lei looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Lan Ji'er moved closer to his ear, gritting her teeth, "Pervert, mine is clearly more bountiful than hers, why aren't you looking at me, what are you looking at her for?"
Xia Lei, "..."
There was no place to argue.
Porisi pushed the bed into the corner, revealing the floor beneath it.
Xia Lei's gaze suddenly fell on one of the floor tiles and he saw a familiar pattern. Right at that moment, his heart thumped.
The picture on the floor tile was the picture of a box, World's Box.
In fact, it was very vague. If it wasn't because the World's Box had already become a part of his life and the most important part, he wouldn't be able to connect it to the World's Box. It was precisely because he had touched the World's Box countless times and was extremely familiar with it that he suddenly thought of the World's Box. If someone else had come and seen the same design, they would probably think it was the stonemason who was lazy and had inlaid a flawed tile in an inconspicuous place.
Just as Xia Lei was in a state of shock, Porisi walked over to that piece of floor tile, took out a strip of metal, and poked into the gap of the floor tile to pry it up.
She had everything ready. This also seemed to be a premonition, as the scene that was about to unfold was extraordinary.
Beneath the floor tiles was a valve. It was made of alloy, not rusted, but it also looked very old. On the surface, it also had traces of age flowing through it.
Porisi grabbed the gate valve and turned it to the left.
Ka ka ka ?
Suddenly, the sound of gears turning could be heard from underground.
The ground under Borich's feet suddenly sank down. The sinking speed was not that fast and the area was not that big. It was only two square meters, which was about the size of an elevator.
"Hurry up." Polich waved at Xia Lei and Lan Ji'er.
Lan Ji'er and Xia Lei looked at each other, then stood up.
The ground continued to sink down, reaching a depth of almost 20 meters before it stopped. This depth was about six or seven stories high. If one were to look down from this height, those with fear of heights would also feel nervous.
After the ground stopped sinking, a passageway appeared in front of the three of them. The passageway continued forward in a straight line. The two walls and the top and bottom were made of stone, and it looked very ancient. These stone materials looked very ordinary, but the tunnel was filled with blue light. It was like a haze that covered the entire tunnel, making it impossible to see the end of it.
"This is the place." said.
"What's inside?" Lan Ji'er asked.
"I don't know," said Porridge. "I only dare to walk here. I don't dare to go in again."
"What are you afraid of?" Xia Lei casually asked.
"I am not afraid of anything, I am afraid of offending the God of the sky. This is the Temple of the Sky, a place like this ? I don't dare to go in. "
She was a timid woman, and it was not surprising that she had such an idea. She had discovered this place, but it was also rare for her to control her curiosity and not explore the end of the passage.
"Other than you, no one else noticed this place?" Lan Ji'er asked.
"I don't know if anyone noticed this place before, but I do know that I'm the only one here now."
"Hubby, what do you think?" Lan Ji'er looked at Xia Lei, the blue light filling her heart with reverence. This was the Sky Temple, and every Ahimis was a devout disciple of the God of the sky. Even up until now, she had not brought up the idea of going in to take a look, so she was worried that this action would offend the God of the sky.
Xia Lei said: "Let me go in to take a look, I am the envoy of the great God of the sky, he will allow me to enter. "After I've confirmed the situation, I'll tell you guys whether you want to go in or not."
Lan Ji'er and Borich nodded at the same time.
"Be careful." Lan Ji'er warned.
"I will." Xia Lei walked into the passage.
Actually, he had long since noticed that the blue light was actually a type of energy. It looked very similar to the energy that the Queen Peace possessed, because it gave him a sense of familiarity. This was actually the reason why he had Lan Ji'er and Borsi stay outside to wait for him. He couldn't be sure of the situation inside either, so it wasn't safe for him to let them in hastily.
The tunnel extended beneath his feet. Xia Lei's footsteps resonated in the tunnel. He used his eyesight to its limit, but was unable to see through the blue energy haze to the outside of his normal vision. He did release her branding power, but that branding power very quickly revealed that the person who fell into the swamp was unable to take a step forward.
"This place is really unusual, what is inside?" Xia Lei's heart was filled with speculation, and there was even a trace of reverence.2
He walked forward for about 100 meters before he saw the end of the passageway. There was a stone door, a blue stone door. He quickly discovered that the blue light from the passageway was actually released by the stone door. He had never seen such a stone before. He was completely different from the stones he had seen in Source City, and it was also not the spritual ore that he was familiar with. It was a type of strange and mysterious energy stone.
Xia Lei stood under the stone door and hesitated for a moment. He reached out his hand and stuck it to the stone door, then he pushed the stone door open.
The blue stone door did not have any mechanism structure, nor did it have a lock. This was the reason why he extended his hand to push on it. With this push, the stone door slightly moved. The fact that he could move meant that he could open the door. He then used even more force to push the stone door inward.
Ka ka ka ?
The blue stone door slowly opened, and an even more intense blue light was released from the gap in the door. Xia Lei looked at it, but other than the blue energy light, he couldn't see anything.
At this moment, a very strange situation occurred.
