Chapter 13 The Plausible Truth Is Complete
As soon as he opened the mechanism, Shao Heng smelled a familiar and unfamiliar smell, cold and damp, but with a certain fragrance of agar, which was the same as in his memory four years ago. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The past before and after being exiled to Shuangxian Town four years ago flashed in Shao Heng's mind, and what he saw in front of him was extremely similar to the underground stronghold of the pharmacy.
Shao Heng's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and his eyes lit up with the dazzling light of the hunter chasing his prey.
"Mr. Great, please!" said someone in the darkness behind the mechanism with great respect.
"Hmm. Shao Heng took a breath without missing a trace and stepped into the secret passage behind this Yunlai Pavilion.
The mechanism behind him was slowly closed, and Shao Heng walked straight through the passage without the slightest pause.
When it was certain that the person behind him couldn't detect his movements, Shao Heng slowed down his steps slightly and observed the surroundings intently.
As he had guessed before, the passage of Yunlai Pavilion did not look unusual, it was not like the underground of Shuangxian Town, but the road was straight, and there were almost no forks.
There weren't many guards in the passage, and it seemed that Yunlai Pavilion had only placed guards at the entrance and exit.
I think that the real secret in Yunlai Pavilion should be the "cabinet" that Xuanying heard about.
Shao Heng pretended to be Mr. Zou Da with the Heavenly Illusion Bead at this moment, and returned to the entrance outside the city while the other party was still tracking the demon snake. With Mr. Zou Da's status in Yunlai Pavilion, even if there were guards passing by, he would never have expected that this person was pretending.
"Fortunately, Xuanying has the ability to listen to voices and distinguish the way, even if I borrow Xiaojin to get out today, I can't find this secret road crossing. I don't know if Xuanying and Xiaojin are safe now?" Shao Heng thought of this, a little worried.
However, in his mind, Xiao Jin's seemingly nonexistent contact is still normal, and there is no panic, and Xuanying has been in Tianshu for many years, and he is the captain of the "Xuan" team, and he already has special skills.
Thinking of this, Shao Heng was slightly relieved and continued to walk forward.
The purpose of participating in the action of Yunlai Pavilion this time is to explore the reality of Yunlai Pavilion.
In the battle of Jiangu, Shao Heng had already discovered that there was something wrong with that banner, and the Gu worm hidden inside was the same as the Gu worm he was in when he was captured by Qianhuan, which could imprison the true qi of the monk.
If he hadn't noticed it in advance, Shao Heng and Xuanying would have died in the Wutong Mountain at this moment.
The Seven Lives Phoenix Minghua was useful to Shao Heng's cultivation of the Heavenly Divine Meteor Six Fingers, and he was determined to get it, but if he made a rash move and caused Yun Lai Pavilion to be vigilant, he would lose the opportunity to investigate this time.
Therefore, Shao Heng released Xiao Jin, which was the little snake hatched from the egg of the hooked snake back then.
Xiao Jin has been by Shao Heng's side since he was born, so he also stayed in the place where the aura was most prosperous in the world - Cunwei Mountain, the sea of cliffs and clouds for a whole year, and his cultivation and size have improved by leaps and bounds.
This snake was born by the hooked snake and the horned earth dragon, and inherited the bloodline of its parents, especially because of the blood contract under Shao Heng, which caused a bloodline mutation, and even had a trace of the characteristics of a dragon.
Although today's Xiaojin cultivation is only equal to that of the Zhuyuan monk, he is extremely talented, not only is he extremely fast, his armor scales are hard, and his knives and guns are difficult to penetrate, but he can also change the size at will, and he is highly poisonous to protect himself.
When Shao Heng entered the valley, he quietly released Xiao Jin, who was only the thickness of a hair, and dived into the pool, and when the two-headed roe deer wind owl was consumed and everyone was defenseless, he ordered Xiao Jin to raid out.
It was the appearance of the golden demon snake that disrupted everything.
Xuanying and Xiaojin cooperated to make a scene, and Shao Heng took the opportunity to pretend to be injured by a two-headed roe deer owl and fell into the water, and staged a scene of swapping identities with Xuanying underwater. At that time, Xiao Jin and the two-headed roe deer owl entered the water one after another, although the two-headed roe deer wind owl hated to injure its present humans, but found that when Xiao Jin took the Seven Lives Phoenix Flower, the coveted nature of the flower overrode all reason, and only wanted to break the little demon snake into pieces and recapture the Seven Lives Phoenix Flower.
However, Xuanying and Shao Heng entered the water one after another, and they were already in ambush.
The two-headed roe deer wind owl had resisted the formation before, and then it was suppressed by the golden seal, losing four eyes and one claw in a row, and its combat power had been weakened by half compared to before.
Coupled with the darkness in the water, as soon as it entered the water, it was surrounded by Shao Heng and the two demons.
Xuanying and Xiaojin teamed up to contain it, Shao Heng knew that it was impossible to drag it underwater for too long, so he immediately released the Tianji Sword that was kept in the dantian, and a sword passed through the heart of the two-headed roe deer owl, and suddenly retracted it.
The demon beast suffered a heavy blow, and finally became frightened, and gave birth to the heart of fleeing.
Shao Heng and the others did not chase, but followed behind, and the moment Mr. Zou Da on the shore killed the two-headed roe deer owl, Xiao Jin restrained him, Shao Heng fled one after another in disguise as nonsense, and Xuanying took the place of the aftermath of the fall.
Fortunately, the golden seal of Yunlai Pavilion went down and directly slapped the demon beast into a pulp, which also saved Xuanying the trouble of finding a way to deal with Shao Heng's sword wound later.
Since Shao Heng pretended to be a nonsense old man, he pretended to take a fork in the road on the way to chase and kill the golden demon snake.
That Mr. Zou Da was bent on regaining the Seven Lives Phoenix Minghua, so he naturally had no intention of caring about him.
"Mr. Big!"
"Mr. Big, you're back, where are the Yun Chang Envoy and Liu Shao Envoy?" The exit in front was the Yun Lai Pavilion Cabinet, and when Shao Heng passed by, there were three guards on each side, all of whom saluted respectfully, and only one of them asked one more question.
Shao Heng's eyes were like a secluded pool, but he didn't flicker in the slightest, he only snorted coldly: "It's not enough to succeed, it's more than enough to lose!"
As soon as these words came out, the six guards looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything more, but they were all afraid in their hearts, and when they reflected it, everyone turned pale and their eyes were flustered.
Shao Heng swept over their faces, and when he saw that these people were so scared, he couldn't help but be a little curious: these people did not participate in this operation, could it be that they would still be involved?
However, when Shao Heng walked out of the secret passage and returned to Yunlai Pavilion, he paid more attention to another matter: the guard's title to Yun Shopkeeper and Liu Sanniang proved that Yunlai Pavilion and those people in Shuangxian Town were the same people!
Shao Heng suppressed the emotions in his heart and stopped.
On the surface, the Yunlai Pavilion cabinet looked like an ordinary courtyard, but Shao Heng only hurriedly realized that this place was more dense than in the secret passage, and in those craggy stone scenes, emerald green, red and white flowers, I am afraid that there were all set up mechanisms, if you move around at will, you will only alarm the guards at the first time.
Shao Heng recalled what Xuanying said: "...... As I passed through the cabinet, I smelled a very peculiar scent, like some kind of sandalwood...... I tried to take an extra step in that direction, but I was immediately pushed back, so if Childe doesn't have a clue, I might as well look in that direction......"
Shao Heng closed his eyes slightly, the tip of his nose moved slightly, and sure enough, there was a vague smell in the air except for the fragrance of flowers and plants.
As Xuanying said, Shao Heng couldn't tell what it was, the smell was like sandalwood for a while, like a flower for a while, and then it seemed to have a fishy smell after a while, which was extremely incompatible with this environment.
Shao Heng saw that time was running out, so he no longer hesitated, followed his breath and carefully avoided the traps on the road, and came to a small building.
Shao Heng was slightly stunned, this small building is a little different from other places, but the difference is that there are guards passing by from time to time in the places next to it, but there is no figure here, and even the flowers and plants in front of the building are more decayed than elsewhere. Shao Heng hesitated in his heart: "This place doesn't look like a place to store important things. "The purpose of his entry into this Yunlai Pavilion is to investigate the situation, after confirming that this place is the same group of people as Shuangxian Town, if he can find a place where Yunlai Pavilion stores documents and the like, it is possible to find out the details of these people and know the next move of these people.
The strange aura came from the dilapidated small building in front of him, but Shao Heng was pressed for time, but he couldn't waste it casually.
However, Shao Heng only hesitated for a moment, and he had no choice.
A slight human voice could be heard in the distance, in the direction of the secret passage leading to the outside of the city.
At this time, those who returned from outside the city were either Yun Shopkeeper and Liu Sanniang, or Mr. Zou Da.
If it is the latter, his identity will be exposed, and if it is the first two, although there is still a glimmer of life, he must not meet these two people.
Mr. Zou Da, who Shao Heng disguised, had no flaws in his appearance, but if he was discovered by the old fox of the cloud shopkeeper, he was afraid that he would be immediately recognized if he said a few more words.
Shao Heng thought to himself that if he came here, if he suddenly turned back, he would be suspicious of the guards for no reason, so he immediately pushed open the door of the small building, dodged in, and covered the door again.
He listened carefully to the movement outside the door, and sure enough, he heard the voices of the shopkeeper Yun and Liu Sanniang.
"I heard that Mr. Big is back, Xu went to the front, but I don't know if he caught up with the demon snake. Liu Sanniang's thin voice came from the wind.
"It doesn't matter if you catch up or not, let's go. The cloud shopkeeper replied coldly.
Shao Heng's heart suddenly moved, knowing that Xiao Jin couldn't delay it for long, and the real Mr. Zou Da was afraid that he would return soon.
So he had to check the scene in the small building with luck, but just looking at it, it made him feel cold.
The small building is divided into two floors, and Shao Heng only saw a shrine enshrined in front of him on the first floor, and two futons scattered on the ground, but there was nothing else.
Shao Heng quickly went up to the second floor, which was like an ordinary room, with a bed on the left and a desk on the right.
However, to Shao Heng's disappointment, there was nothing useful on either the desk or the bed, no pen and paper, and no jade slips.
Shao Heng was unwilling to search carefully again, and even the only pillow on the bed was disassembled and checked, and after making sure that there was no useful information here, he reluctantly went downstairs.
Just as Shao Heng's face was uncertain and he was thinking about whether to risk rushing into another place to investigate, the tip of his nose suddenly moved.
Before, when I was outside, the strange aura was very strong, but after entering the house, it became as if it was nothing.
Shao Heng turned his head to look, his eyes fixed on the three incense sticks inserted in front of the shrine, and the light in his eyes was bright.
"If this place is really so decayed, why is this shrine still worshipped?" Shao Heng hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes scanning the shrine like electricity.
"Could it be that there is a mechanism?"
Shao Heng first touched the incense burner, and then left the table with a light lift, and there was no other movement in the room.
There was only one space in the shrine, and it was a somewhat strange figure.
The portrait held his hands flat, palms up, wide sleeved robe hanging down to his feet, his expression was extremely majestic and indifferent, and those eyes did not know whether it was intentional at the moment of carving or the obsidian material, Shao Heng only felt that he was stared at by this portrait, and there was always a chill slowly rising behind him.
Shao Heng reined in his mind and continued to grope for inspection, and when he touched the back of the figure, a happy look appeared on his face, but then he looked strange again.
