Chapter 145: Empress Duanmin
Mo Ke's words made the faces of the few people who came in change in fright. The man in black who followed Mo Ke in turned red with anger and pressed the fake regent against the wall.
"Touch the back of his head and the back of his neck to see if there are any disfigured iron needles?"
Wenwen said, it seems that Wenwen is very proficient in their disguise.
Sure enough, the guards found different things, and when they pulled hard, they pulled out iron needles that were more than three inches long, and there was more than one. When the needles were taken down, the fake regent's face changed little by little. Where is this regent, it turned out to be a woman. Xiao Qing, Mo Ke, and Lan Wenjian couldn't help but be shocked! I really didn't expect it, but Wenwen was calmer.
"How did you get in?
The black-clothed guards were already panicking, and they were merciless. The person is gone under his eyes, and he doesn't notice it at all, it's a great shame!
This fake regent is very tight-mouthed, and no matter how much he asks, he has no intention of relenting.
"I can't ask anything, she should have been fed medicine, and she can't say anything. Wen Wen said faintly.
"It's okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it, you can't catch up after saying it for so long, and I have a way to find answers to many things if he doesn't say it. It's just that I'm not happy, and someone can carry it with me. You give me a good look at her, I have a big snake, wait for me to bring it tomorrow, let my big snake take a good plate of her, that small waist can be more slender. If my serpent likes her, maybe swallow her in the stomach and take her to the pillar again, and I think I can hear the bones breaking, so I can let out my breath. ”
Xiao Qing spoke softly, but his words were terrifying. Especially this woman dressed as the regent, her face turned white. Trembling slightly.
"There's a dungeon!" the button is on the leg of the table," the woman whispered.
Xiao Qing glared at her, making people look at her. The others began to look for the button, and it was very hidden, a normal knot in the wood of the table. If it weren't for this woman, it would have been really hard to find. As the black-clad guard gently rubbed the knot, one side of the wall opened in response. I really didn't see that this wall was actually alive, and what kind of material could block my spiritual power. Could it be that the periphery itself feels inappropriate because of the underground palace? If so, Xiao Qing really can't imagine, how big is this underground palace?
The black-clothed guard wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Xiao Qing.
"Pick the good martial arts to go in, the others guard, and eat this before going in, one grain per person. ”
Xiao Qing never risked human life for experiments. In her opinion, any life, even an ant, is precious and cannot be discarded at will.
After Xiao Qing made arrangements, a total of more than 20 people went down to the underground palace. The magnanimity of the dungeon is really beyond everyone's imagination. It covers almost the entire underground of the Regent's Palace. Now Xiao Qing knew where her uneasiness came from. If a place is particularly mysterious, and you can only see a small part of it, your six senses will often give you some signals, especially for someone like Xiao Qing with strong spiritual power.
Xiao Qing didn't understand why Xiao Qing could only feel something a short distance here. Later, she gradually discovered that the walls of the dungeon were very dark, and this darkness seemed to be a mineral. Xiao Qing guessed that it must be because of these factors, and knowing the reason, Xiao Qing was much more relieved.
Xiao Qing was not at ease to spread out these many people. She was afraid that what they needed to face was something they couldn't avoid with martial arts. So Xiao Qing gave them an order to investigate separately and report immediately if they found anything that could not be acted without permission.
Xiao Qing himself walked slowly, leaving a mark when he encountered a place where he felt bad. Later, it will be better to break them one by one. Xiao Qing found that the building of the entire underground palace was circular, probably built along the hillside, with the middle as the center of the circle, spreading out in a circle to the surroundings. Interspersed are criss-crossed aisles. If you don't have a big picture, it's really easy to get lost.
Xiao Qing probed all the way out and found that the vents of this underground palace were also set up extremely cleverly, just outside the garden rockery outside the regent's residence. The rockery is made up of mountain stones with various holes, a large area, and the appearance forms a good cover. Both the location and the concept are similar to the underground dark room in the Western Chu Palace. The best thing is that the design of the air extraction under the rockery is very modern induced draft fan. So that the air in the huge underground palace is not dirty and thin.
After walking for a long time, no one found anything, it seems that this is an abandoned base. It has now been relocated with the evacuation of the base personnel. The regent actually has such ability? Only when he learned the news in advance did he move everything so thoroughly? Or is there any other secret way here? Xiao Qing still felt that the latter was more likely. But among the twenty people who came in, six or seven were experts who were proficient in the design and construction of various secret rooms, how could they not have discovered anything?
When he approached the middle of the circle, Xiao Qing had a different feeling. It's obviously a larger circle here. But there was no portal in the area around the circle. And the structure of the wall soil is also different.
A few people spared circle after lap along the innermost passage, but they didn't get anything. In the end, Xiao Qing stopped where he felt the most.
"Just look around here! there's got to be something. We have to go in. ”
Xiao Qing is more like talking to himself.
"With the middle of the circle in the middle, there are exactly eight roads that extend in all directions, and then each road splits into two roads. This seems to be the arrangement of iron gossip. Iron gossip is known for being ruthless, but it is unusually calm here, it should be that the mechanism here is locked, otherwise we will definitely die if we move like that just now. ”
It was Wenwen who spoke.
"Looks like all the traps have been shut down. Then opening the mechanism means that the entire underground palace will lock the visitors inside. Unless you know the exact way. If you want to put someone to death, then the switch should be at the door of death. ”
Wenwen turned around in place as he spoke, then walked to the left, took three steps and two steps back, and turned half a circle to the left. Then two steps to the right. After a series of strange steps and ways of traveling, Wenwen finally stopped. Right in front of you was a section of wall that led to the perimeter.
"Everybody stand still and don't move, if I can find the mechanism, everyone has to be careful. ”
As he spoke, Wenwen closed his eyes and stroked the wall inch by inch with his fingers. It seems that she has a picture in mind, and her fingers do not touch all the places on the pavement, but jump here and there twice. It's like a modern trader's hands snapping on an invisible projection screen. It's a lot like hackers on TV. Xiao Qing thought it was amazing. Finally, Wenwen's hand stopped. But there was nothing there.
Wenwen glanced back at everyone. Mo Ke and Xiao Qing nodded slightly in trust and affirmation. Wenwen pressed hard. The wall turned out to be recessed in a piece. After that, the walls of the entire dungeon were like troops receiving orders. A murderous aura spread outward along the wall. Then Wen Wen turned on the spot and walked straight to the opposite wall, the ring wall where they had not been able to find the door before.
Wenwen pushed hard, and the wall retreated inward, revealing a passage on each side that allowed one person to enter.
Wenwen arranged for the three of them to stand in the direction she said, and repeatedly instructed them not to move. Three more people stood motionless behind them, two of them only a foot apart. It would be a little weird if someone else came in. In particular, Wenwen repeatedly emphasized that you should not move half a step, even if you see anything. For the sake of safety, Wenwen also arranged for two other people to stand next to him, especially to warn him of something. The rest of the people then dodged into the secret room.
There was a big surprise in the secret room. Where is this secret room, it is clearly a luxurious palace. All the furnishings, from a large vase of decorative flower arrangements to a small candlestick on the table, are all priceless. Even a curtain is the most precious Wanqing yarn that only the palace can have, and it is the best of the best.
The yarn is very light and thin, and the air through the vent blows the yarn tent gently swaying. But it still couldn't hide the deathly silence of the room. It's surprisingly quiet, completely out of touch with the luxury of the house.
"Don't touch anything!"
Wenwen reminded again. Xiao Qing felt that Wenwen seemed to have something to expect, but it was just not accurate. I didn't break it myself, and I conscientiously carried out Wenwen's orders.
A few people walked in lightly. I saw a beautiful woman dressed up standing quietly next to the gauze tent inside. Several people stopped in unison and did not go any further. The woman was about thirty years old. The whole makeup is elegant and noble. The expression on his face is calm and serene. The skin is excellently maintained, rosy and translucent. A pair of bright big eyes reveal simplicity and innocence.
"Empress Duanmin. ”
Mo Ke said softly.
"This is Empress Duanmin, how do you know each other?" Xiao Qing asked.
"There is a portrait of her in the palace, but why hasn't she changed at all after so many years?"
Mo Ke felt a little strange in his heart.
Lan Wenjian was unusually quiet today, and now she was like a demon, and she was about to walk towards Queen Duanmin. Wenwen grabbed him and held him tightly. Lan Wenjian still retained the posture of wanting to walk over. Xiao Qing hurriedly took a step forward, put his hand on Lan Wenjian's back, and passed some internal force over. Lan Wenjian glanced back at Wenwen and Xiao Qing, and finally looked at Mo Ke.
"She's here, why don't we take her back?"
Lan Wenjian said stupidly like a fluted boy.
Wenwen took his hand and said softly, "Wait!"
So Lan Wenjian quieted down.
