Under the eyes of the two of them, five people came up at the top of the stairs.

There were only five people, and they were divided into three groups, especially the first and last two groups, who looked like each other's well water did not interfere with the river water, and they never even glanced at the corners of their eyes, and they did not exist at all.

Zhang Fan didn't care about the estrangement between them, but just looked at them with interest.

Walking in the forefront are two middle-aged people with respectful expressions, whose face contours are slightly similar to Jiang Tuo, and they are from the Jiang clan.

Behind them was a little girl with a burden, quite handsome with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but there was no girlish lively and delicate appearance, as if she was overwhelmed by the weight of life, slightly hunched over, and her every move looked trembling.

The attitude of the two groups of people towards this little girl is also quite strange, intentionally or unintentionally sandwiching her in the middle, and it doesn't look like protection, but like they are vigilant against each other and don't let each other touch their private property.

This little girl's cultivation is okay, there are roughly about seven layers of level, Zhang Fan originally only swept it roughly, and didn't care about it, but when he saw her cultivation, there were other people who were suspicious of her attitude.

This kind of cultivation is not bad for the little girl's age, but in front of the immortal cultivators in front of her, she is undoubtedly at the bottom, whether it is the other four people who have just come upstairs, or Zhang Fan Linsen, the weakest cultivation is also up and down the eleventh floor.

And this trip is very dangerous, even Zhang Fan is full of treasures, and a master who has reached the twelfth level of the Qi refining period needs to be careful, it is not at all the time to exercise the juniors in the clan, what did the two families bring her for?

What's more, judging by their attitude, they treat their juniors more like prisoners who have value in guarding them.

didn't find anything abnormal for a while, Zhang Fan had to let it go for the time being, and moved his eyes to the last two people who came up.

The two of them are a man and a woman, and their age and cultivation are similar to the two of the Jiang family, and their attitudes are equally respectful, but they always seem to feel that something is wrong.

Among them, the face was like gold paper, and his whole body was sharp, as if his body was covered with spikes, and it would shoot out at the slightest alarm. The woman looked normal, but her face was yellow, not like a powerful immortal cultivator, but like a patient with a couch.

This is the person of the Five Elements Family? Zhang Fan couldn't help but look at it twice.

Legend has it that this family's exercises are different from the orthodox methods, but they are mainly based on mobilizing their own five elements, supplemented by external aura, although it is difficult to practice, but the power is not bad.

And they also have a quirk, the whole clan regardless of the descendants all take gold, wood, water, fire and earth as their surnames, and you can know the surname just by looking at the surname of the Gongfa, and vice versa.

Zhang Fan just went through the information of the Five Elements Family in his mind, and the five of them had already approached and saluted respectfully:

"Jiang Tao, Jiang Po. "Golden seal, Tujue. ”

"I've seen two fellow Daoists. ”

"Wang Xinling, I've seen ...... I have met two Taoist friends. ”

The last timid voice was naturally made by the little girl.

Zhang Fan glanced at her strangely, and then reported his name to Lin Sen separately, and after a little politeness, he went straight to the point and said: "I and Senior Brother Lin came here by the order of the sect, and we should do our best, now please ask the two of you to explain the matter in detail, don't omit it." ”

The story of the matter had already been told when the two families asked the sect for help, and if they asked again at this time, they naturally wanted to know the specific details. Unlike the sect that only needs to know the severity of the matter, these executors naturally have to understand everything clearly, after all, their own lives are at stake, how can they be child's play!

The little girl Wang Xinling was ignored as a matter of course, and the other four made eye contact, and finally Jiang Tao came forward and explained the story in detail.

Due to the geographical location, the Jiang family and the Five Elements family have won the mining rights of this medium-sized vein together, although the two families together can only get three layers of spirit stones every year, but for a family like them, it is also a great windfall.

So, they hurriedly ended other aspects of the business, concentrated the resources of the entire family and began to exploit. No, after months of excavation, a huge group of tunnels was found in the veins.

After careful investigation, it was easy to determine that this vein had actually been mined in ancient times, but it was stopped abruptly without knowing what disaster had happened. This was later evidenced by the occasional discovery of corpses carrying mining equipment, and it was clear that they had died in a hurry to evacuate.

The catastrophe of the ancient period left countless similar places in the entire immortal cultivation world, the ruins, the caves, and the special area in the valley of no return are all products of that period, it is really not surprising, plus what wealth can the miners have? The two immortal cultivation families did not pay much attention to it, so they continued to mine.

It was this carelessness that finally led to the disaster.

A few months later, miners began to disappear one after another, but due to the complexity of the tunnels left behind, it was normal to get lost in them, so they did not attract attention, and by the time things got bigger, it was too late.

A month ago, in the tunnels deep in the entire ore vein, countless ghosts and ghosts suddenly appeared, and for a time it became a ghost domain. More than 500 miners hired by the two families died in a matter of moments.

Since then, the two families have sent several groups of people to enter, but they have not returned, so they have no choice but to ask the sect for help.

Since Zhang Fan's grandfather also worked as a miner in his early years, he was somewhat clear about the cats in this, and understood that the words of the two families were somewhat untrue, but now was not the time to care, and after a long silence, he asked, "Are the four of you walking with our senior brothers?"

"Exactly, how can you watch the two Taoist friends take risks, and our two families should also do their best. Before Brother Jiang Tao could speak, Jin Feng on the side replied first.

stared at him fiercely, and the Jiang brothers could only nod helplessly, indicating that they also meant the same.

Aren't you afraid that if the two of them accidentally die in the mine, then the two families will die together, and it will be easier to explain to the sect, otherwise they will have such a good heart?

These are the proper meanings of the question, Zhang Fan sneered in his heart, and did not say anything, but moved his puzzled gaze to the little girl.

Before he could ask, Jiang Tao hurriedly said: "Zhang Daoyou, this woman has a great relationship, so our two families took her over with us. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to the little girl and said, "Wang Xinling, bring Ying Ning over and let Zhang Daoyou take a look." ”

The next action of this little girl named Wang Xinling surprised Zhang Fan.

I saw that after she whispered yes, she hugged the burden behind her to the front, untied it, and revealed what was wrapped in it.

"It's ......"

Zhang Fan stood up with a bang and walked quickly in front of her.

Inside the package was a four- or five-year-old girl. The strange thing is that even if she has been wrapped in airtightness for so long, she didn't feel any discomfort, but swept back and forth on everyone's faces with a hollow gaze.

If it was just an ordinary little girl, Zhang Fan would have been a little surprised at most, and he would never have reacted so violently.

This girl, who is called Ying Ning by Jiang Tao, although she is a little beauty embryo at a glance, but when anyone sees it, she will never give birth to any feelings such as pity and spoiling, but will only feel the slightest coldness coming out of the depths of her heart.

Her round little face was full of dark clouds, and at the same time, her eyes were empty, as if she had no soul, and at a glance, she knew that this was by no means a normal child, and even doubted whether she still had life.

It was precisely because there was no anger on his body that Zhang Fan didn't realize that Wang Xinling, who had been carrying him behind him, was actually a living thing at first sight.

As if she had lost the interest of observing everyone, Ying Ning buried her little face in the package, sucked her small fingers, and muttered "Ying Ning Ying Ning" from time to time.

At this time, Jiang Tao sighed and explained the origin of Ying Ning and Wang Xinling.

It turned out that this little girl, known as Ying Ning, and Wang Xinling, were the only survivors among the more than 500 people in the mine.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of care or what's the reason, Ying Ning's mother not only went to work in the mine herself, but also brought such a young child into it, and when the accident happened, the mother died on the spot, but the child survived because of an accident.

Actually, it can't be considered alive. It seems that there is a powerful yin spirit who is trying to take away this child, but I don't know what happened to it, whether it is the yin soul or the soul of the child itself, it was annihilated together, leaving only a shell with a wonderful balance of yin and vitality.

The most bizarre thing is that although this child is equivalent to being dead, she has always preserved the vitality of life, and in her mind, she actually retains part of the memory of that ghost, and she knows the incomparably complex and labyrinth-like ancient tunnels well.

And Wang Xinling, this little girl herself is also one of the miners hired by the two families, she survived the incident, and with Ying Ning's special understanding of the tunnel and incomparable luck, she got out of the mine.

Now that Zhang Fan and the others want to go into the mine to explore, they are naturally indispensable to live map Ying Ning, and Wang Xinling has been with her for a long time, and she can understand Ying Ning's meaning as quickly as possible, which is equivalent to the existence of translation, which is naturally indispensable.

As if hearing someone mention her name, Ying Ning suddenly poked her head out of the package, and at the same time as she screamed "Ying Ning Ying Ning", a stream of blood surged up, driving away the yin qi on her little face, showing a ruddy color for the first time.

In the eyes of everyone present, a touch of pity appeared at the same time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just the instinct of the body. The little one's eyes were always empty, like a deep cavern, as if swallowing up all the light.

With a long sigh, Zhang Fan stood up and said, "Let's go!"
