Chapter 100: The Underground Palace
Guo Chen used the illusion technique to tell Shen Xuan the content of the conversation between himself and Jiang Ling just now.
Since he was going underground to find the secret room, Shen Xuan naturally wanted to know this, because among the people present now, he was the only one who could provide the lighting.
Although Guo Chen also had the Bihong Spirit Sword and the Blood Yang Stygian Sword, which could burn flames, the Blood Yang Stygian Sword could not be used in front of Jiang Ling, and his spiritual power could not be consumed too much.
Although there are a lot of spiritual weapons on Jiang Ling's body, there is no way to illuminate them, and Guan Ying does not have any spiritual weapons to use
Generally, there will be no lights underground, so if the secret room is really underground, Shen Xuan, who can provide lighting, is now the most important person.
If he had a choice, Guo Chen would rather pretend to be stupid, because he had a spirit pupil, so he didn't need to worry about the lighting, and then he could use this as an excuse to enter the secret room alone.
But unfortunately, a few days ago, Jiang Ling had already known that Shen Xuan's Blue Secret Sword could be used for lighting, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide it.
"Let's forget it today, let's go again tomorrow, go back first and prepare well, we don't know if there are any traps in it, and it is very likely that we will encounter danger if we rush in." ”
Tianxiao Cangyu Phoenix landed at the entrance of the Imperial City, and he opened his mouth to say this, there are other things to deal with now, and it is indeed a little unsafe to go to the secret room now.
"Okay, let's go to the palace together tomorrow, and I'll take Ning Zhi with me then, no problem, right?"
Although Jiang Ling was very reluctant to let them go, what he said was also very reasonable, and it was very likely that he would encounter danger if he went to the secret room now.
After all, it is the secret room of the palace, and there should be many traps in it, and a rough estimate is that when this secret room was built, the first person on the mainland should still be alive.
A hundred years ago, the gap between cultivators and ordinary people was even bigger than it is now, and one of the main reasons was that the development of mechanisms and forging was too slow, and it was impossible to create too good equipment.
It was at that time that a genius suddenly appeared in the imperial family, although he was not a direct member of the imperial family, but he dedicated his life to the imperial family, and through the mechanism he created, the gap between the imperial family and the Lingyun Sect was greatly shortened.
Unfortunately, because the things he made were so complicated, until his death, he could not find an heir, and his craft was lost.
In Gangneung's memory, he should have died shortly after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and the palace chamber should have been established at that time, and it is likely that he participated in the construction.
As for why the emperor did not come out of the secret room, some people speculate that it was because he was in the mechanism he studied and died in the secret room, which is also reasonable.
"No problem, that's it for now, do you go back with us to pick up Jiang Xueyan first, or go back to the palace yourself?"
In fact, Guo Chen's purpose of leaving Ling Yunhao in the imperial city was not only to let him break through this one quickly, but more importantly, to get the information about the secret room from Jiang Xueyan.
At present, the only information they have obtained is that it was built a hundred years ago, probably in the underground of the palace, and if they want to enter the secret room in advance, they must get more information.
Judging from the current situation, Gangneung has put his hope on them, so he must be with them, or enter the labyrinth before them.
If that's the case, they won't want to succeed in bringing out the inheritance, so they must take the first step to find the secret room before Gangneung comes to them tomorrow morning.
It's just that now they have too little information, if they want to find the secret room first, they must get more information, of course, it is impossible to inquire from Jiang Ling, they can only get it from Jiang Xueyan.
Just when they returned to the Imperial City, Jiang Xueyan had already told Ling Yunhao everything she knew, and now the two of them had already begun to cultivate.
When Guo Chen and the four of them came back, what they saw was the situation of the two of them cultivating, so Jiang Ling didn't suspect anything, and took Jiang Xueyan back to the palace together.
After confirming that the two of them had gone away, Guo Chen and the four of them once again entered Ling Yunhao's illusion space and began to discuss the matter of the secret room.
According to Jiang Xueyan, this so-called secret room is actually a mausoleum built for the former emperor, and now it seems likely that it is underground, that is, the underground palace.
The specific method of entry has not been handed down, and the direct members of the royal family do not know how to enter the underground palace, but they heard that the emperor left the main hall and went to the west.
But later, the royal family searched the entire western part of the imperial city, but failed to find the entrance to the underground palace, which became the last time the royal family searched for the underground palace.
After that, Jiang Hanhai seemed to have given up looking for the dungeon, but for a long time after that, he frequently went to a blacksmith shop.
And one thing is very strange is that it is not a royal blacksmith shop, nor is it a high-end atmosphere, it is a simple blacksmith shop that cannot be simpler.
The blacksmith shop was located in the southern part of the continent, in a small city called Ide City.
When Ling Yunhao said this, he noticed that Shen Xuan and Guo Chen's faces were obviously a little abnormal, so he asked, "Have you ever been here?"
"It seems like we've not only been here, but we've probably seen the guy he's looking for. ”
Although he couldn't be sure, Guo Chen still thought of the stall owner who wanted to snatch the scroll realm, he originally opened a blacksmith shop, and he still had high-end materials that did not match his identity.
However, he only stopped building a spirit weapon a few months ago, and if it was because Jiang Hanhai asked him to create something, the timeline didn't seem to be right.
Unless Jiang Hanhai asked him to build this thing is too complicated, it took more than ten years to build, and it was not completed until a few months ago, but this is not very likely.
But if it really has something to do with that person, then Guo Chen and they will have a headache, that person is now dead, and they have no way to investigate this matter.
Even Jiang Xueyan didn't know the details, and there were only three people who knew the details, one was Jiang Hanhai, one was the stall owner, and the last one was Ning Yuan.
Now that the person who is best to contact is dead, they have no way to ask Jiang Hanhai or Ning Yuan, because this question must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise it will be impossible to explain that Jiang Xueyan and even Jiang Ling don't know about it.
"You've seen that person, so where is he now, the Imperial City is not very far from Ide City, can we hurry up and ask him about it?"
Ling Yunhao was very happy to hear this news, if he could get any information from that person's mouth, it would certainly be excellent.
Guo Chen shook his head and said, "That person is dead now, but we can't be sure that that person is him, we have no evidence, and now we only suspect it." ”
After hearing this, Ling Yunhao's mood fell directly to the bottom, and he also knew that if he couldn't find this person to ask clearly, he could only find Jiang Hanhai and Ning Yuan.
"Don't care what he's looking for a blacksmith shop for, Jiang Xueyan hasn't said anything else, now our goal should be the underground palace, not what Jiang Hanhai has built. ”
Indeed, as he said, what Jiang Hanhai has created now is not very important to them, and it will not affect their search for the dungeon.
Ling Yunhao shook his head, and then said, "That's all, at present, the only useful information is that the entrance to the underground palace may be on the west side of the palace hall. ”
If Jiang Xueyan is right, if the emperor was going west at that time, it is indeed possible, but because he didn't want others to know where the entrance to the underground palace was, it was also possible to deliberately go in other directions.
So this one is useless, the only effect is that they can start searching on the west side of the palace, but they may also end up searching the entire palace.
The Imperial Palace is not just a palace, it is the most splendid complex on the continent, and there is no place to compare with it except for the Nine Star Academy.
Needless to say, if you want to search the entire palace thoroughly, if there are only a few of them, it is impossible to do it without four or five days.
"Let's think about it again today, I shouldn't be able to leave tonight, and we'll make plans when they come to Gangneung tomorrow. ”
Jiang Xueyan only knew such a little bit of information, which he didn't expect, but this information couldn't let them find the underground palace in one night, so they couldn't act.
Immediately, the four of them began to cultivate separately, and in this process, everyone could clearly feel that Ling Yunhao's spiritual power was close to a breakthrough, as long as he was allowed to concentrate on cultivation for a day, there would definitely be no problem with the breakthrough.
This was also the first time that he had so clearly felt the ease of cultivation after the tenth level of human rank, and now it had only been less than a month since he had broken through, and he was already about to break through again, and this gap was really not a little bit or a half.
Early the next morning, the palace was already lively, yesterday Jiang Ling forgot, today Jiang Hanhai summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter, as for what the matter, he didn't know.
This situation is still rare, generally speaking, if you want to discuss anything, you will tell him in advance, after all, he is the prince himself, he is qualified to participate in these, and he has excellent intelligence and can help them solve many things.
But this time, Jiang Hanhai didn't tell him, just told him what to do, there was no need for this incident to affect his search for the underground palace.
Jiang Ling took Ning Zhi and Jiang Xueyan to find Guo Chen and them again, and it happened to catch up with them just after breakfast, Jiang Xueyan was so angry!
"Before we go, I want to ask, do you know what kind of person the emperor was?"
After listening to the news that Jiang Xueyan said yesterday, Guo Chen thought that since it was an underground palace built for the former emperor, it must have something to do with the former emperor.
"The emperor himself is not too brilliant, his spiritual power is average, and his wisdom is not as good as you and me, but the royal family has developed rapidly under his leadership, and there must be some advantages that we don't know. ”
What Jiang Ling said is already very subtle, and to sum it up, it is not good at cultivation, not good at intelligence, and there are no obvious advantages.
"Because the emperor died when he was three years old, so he doesn't know much about it, and it just so happens that there are many ministers in the palace today, should we ask them?"
Jiang Xueyan on the side said coldly, although it sounded like no problem, but the matter of their search for the underground palace, the fewer people should know, the better!
Jiang Xueyan actually knew about this matter, she said this just to remind Guo Chen that there are many ministers in the palace now.
Guo Chen understood his hint and asked, "There are many ministers in the palace, did His Majesty summon them to discuss things?"
