Chapter 102: Strange Statues

"If there is nothing that makes you think that the entrance to the dungeon is here, you won't say what you just said, you should call me and go directly. ”

Shen Xuan said this, Guo Chen thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, according to his habits, he should indeed be called to go directly.

"That's right, I saw this palace in the underground ruins of the auction hall at that time, although I couldn't see it clearly, but in the entire palace, only this thing is here. ”

As he spoke, he came to the outside of the palace and pointed to a statue in the doorway.

The statue had a strange shape, not only in the palace, but also in other places, and it was because it was so special that he would remember it when he saw it in the ancient ruins.

The statue is humanoid as a whole, but behind it, there are things that resemble the tail of the Sky Screaming Blue Feather Phoenix, and two pieces that look like wings.

The face is also very special, there is a scratch or something under the left eye, and there is a strange rune on the forehead, although it is in the form of a human, but there is no place like a normal person.

Shen Xuan hadn't seen this thing before, so he asked in a daze, "What is this?"

Guo Chen shook his head, and then said: "I don't know what this thing is, but there is indeed a carving in the ancient ruins, and this thing must be useful to us." ”

After saying that, he had already begun to carefully inspect the statue, since there was no entrance to the underground palace in the palace, it must be the problem of this statue.

Shen Xuan didn't have anything to do, so he continued to wander around the palace to see if there was anything else that could be done, but this was still unlikely, after all, the Nightmare Pupil had not been able to find anything useful.

At the same time, Jiang Xueyan and Ning Zhi on the other side chose to start looking near the palace hall, but the speed was very slow when Jiang Xueyan deliberately delayed time.

Now they have just arrived at a palace, this is the residence of Jiangling, usually Ning Zhi and Jiang Xueyan do not come often, it stands to reason that there is not much possibility of the entrance to the underground palace here.

"We come here a lot, there should be nothing here, let's not waste time here, let's go somewhere else." ”

Ning Zhi made this suggestion, but Jiang Xueyan rejected it, she said: "You can't let go of here, what if the entrance is here, but you don't find out?"

What she said was also quite reasonable, Ning Zhi thought about it and made sense, so he nodded, and then said, "That's right, let's look here first." ”

Then the two began to look for the entrance to the underground palace in the palace where Gangneung lived, but naturally they couldn't find it.

Jiangling has been looking for the underground palace for so long, if it was really under his residence, he would definitely not have noticed it until now, just last night, he looked for it once.

At this time, he was walking around the palace, but mainly in the west of the palace, wanting to see where Guo Chen and the others were now, but he didn't find them at all.

Before the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he was not very valued, and his residence was also very remote, and the range of Jiangling's current movement was in the central position of the imperial palace, so naturally they could not be found.

Just when the three of them were still busy in the palace, Guo Chen had already discovered the clues on the statue, and there was an extremely faint fluctuation of spiritual power at the scratch under the left eye of the statue.

If this were an ordinary person, he might not care about it, after all, this scratch looks like someone accidentally damaged it, and it is normal for the residual spiritual power to fluctuate.

But he was different, now he was sure that there was something wrong with this statue, and he would not let go of any small detail, so he called Shen Xuan out.

"I'll see if there's any mechanism on it later, you look at it, and if I disappear directly, you can follow my actions again. ”

He said so, if he really disappeared directly, then the greatest possibility was to enter the underground palace and let Shen Xuan do it again, naturally in order to enter the underground palace together.

He opened the spiritual pupil, put his left hand on the left eye of the statue, and slowly injected spiritual power into it, and then he clearly felt that his spiritual power was working inside the statue.

The route of operation is no different from that of ordinary human beings, the interior of this sculpture is like a meridian, and he can also perceive the situation inside the sculpture with the operation of spiritual power.

Then he felt the existence of the mechanism, and the interior of this sculpture was full of extremely complex mechanisms, and he felt a little uncontrollable joy when he felt this.

Since there is a mechanism, then it is very likely that this is the entrance to the underground palace, but then he was a little disappointed, as for the reason, it can't be opened!

The complexity of this mechanism is simply outrageous, and if he doesn't know how to crack it, it will definitely not be solved in a short time, and it will take him a while to crack it.

But what he lacks most now is time, it won't take long for Gangneung to get here, they can't stay here all the time, they have to find a way as soon as possible.

So he decisively chose to give up for the time being, and through the super memory given to him by the pupil of nightmares, he wrote down the mechanism structure, and planned to study it well when he returned.

Shen Xuan had been watching carefully from the side, for fear of missing any detail, but he saw him take his hand down.

"Let's go somewhere else first, and we'll talk about the problems here. ”

Shen Xuan's ears sounded such a sentence, and he said it through the illusion technique, it seems that there is indeed a problem here.

Now he is not sure if this is the entrance to the underground palace, so whether it is to avoid arousing the suspicion of Gangneung, or to find the real entrance, they need to continue to search.

Jiang Xueyan and Ning Zhi have almost finished the palace where Jiang Ling lives, but naturally nothing has been found.

"Xueyan, let's almost look elsewhere, there shouldn't be anything here. ”

Ning Zhi stood up, turned around and said to Jiang Xueyan, who was squatting on the side and didn't know what to do, only to see Jiang Xueyan shaking her head.

His first reaction was that Jiang Xueyan had found something, and immediately went up to check it, and then saw that Jiang Xueyan was actually cleaning up the house.

When they were looking for things just now, they didn't care about these things at all, which led to the fact that the palace is now messy, and if this is cleaned up, it won't end until the Year of the Monkey!

"Xueyan, let's go somewhere else, someone will clean up these things, it's more important for us to find the dungeon. ”

Seeing that Jiang Xueyan had been buried in packing up her things and didn't pay attention to what he meant, Ning Zhi spoke again to persuade her.

As a result, Jiang Xueyan continued to bury her head in packing up her things, and then thought that two people must be able to clean up a little faster than one person, so he began to help.

Ning Zhi doesn't have any opinions, especially in front of Jiang Xueyan, she basically follows whatever she does, and it is not very useful to occasionally persuade her.

So for a whole morning, they just found the palace where Jiangling lived, and compared with Guo Chen and them, the efficiency was really far behind.

In the morning, the two of them looked for a quarter of the palace, after all, there was a spirit pupil, and there were some places that they didn't look at and left directly.

"Let's get here this morning, go back and rest first, and then continue in the afternoon. ”

Everyone came to the entrance of the palace to gather, Guo Chen opened his mouth and said this, after all, he had no way to replenish himself through spiritual power, and he must not delay eating.

Then they disbanded on the spot, the three of them did not leave the palace, they went back to rest directly, Guo Chen and Shen Xuan left the palace, and began to discuss on the way.

"So, that sculpture just now should be the entrance to the dungeon?"

After listening to what Guo Chen told through the illusion technique, Shen Xuan said such a sentence to him through the runes, if this is really the case, it would not be bad.

"I'm not sure yet, but when I find a way to crack the mechanism inside, we'll take a look again. ”

He shook his head, said this, and immediately began to think carefully about the question of the mechanism, such a complex thing, can be designed by a talent.

He didn't know about the masters of the imperial organs, and he hadn't even heard of it, after all, the age was still a little old.

As a result, he didn't expect that Shen Xuan, who had never liked to talk very much, actually asked at this time, "By the way, do you think there is something wrong?"

He looked up at Shen Xuan and said, "What do you mean?"

There were many problems in this matter, and he didn't know what Shen Xuan was talking about.

"If this secret room was built a hundred years ago, why was it used to bury the emperor, and it seems that he had not inherited the throne at that time, right?"

Shen Xuan has been thinking about this question for a long time, but he still hasn't thought of the answer, a hundred years ago, the first emperor should not have been as big as Jiangling, and he may not even be born, why would he build an underground palace for him?

"It's really a bit of a problem, but I think there must be a problem at this point in time, you think, a hundred years ago, it was the theft of the Blood Yang Dark Sword, this should be no problem. ”

This should be certain, Guo Chen's appearance can prove it, and he continued: "And the construction of the underground palace should be after obtaining the inheritance of the Nightmare Clan. ”

Seeing that Shen Xuan didn't quite understand, he continued: "The Blood Yang Immortal Sword was stolen almost a hundred years ago, so the royal family preconceived that it was built a hundred years ago, which is also reasonable. ”

As soon as Shen Xuan said this, he understood, simply put, the royal family didn't know exactly when this was built, anyway, the gap with a hundred years would not be too big.

The person who stole the Blood Yang Stygian Sword was a member of the Nightmare Clan, and the royal family should also know about it, after all, they brought back the inheritance of that person, and because of the lack of records, the royal family believed that it was built a hundred years ago.

As far as the current royal family knows, the Blood Yang Immortal Sword was stolen a hundred years ago, and in their eyes, the Imperial Family should have killed the person who stole the Blood Yang Immortal Sword in a hundred years, and this hundred years should have come like this.

It's also said in the past, but it's not necessarily, after all, the royal family doesn't know this, and of course it is possible that even the real purpose of the construction of this underground palace is wrong.

Let's just put it this way, now the time of the construction of this underground palace is uncertain, the purpose is uncertain, the builder is uncertain, except for knowing that it is under the palace, everything else cannot be determined.

"Anyway, there must be something from our Nightmare Clan in this dungeon, and we must go down and find it. ”

As he spoke, he shook the compass in his hand that he didn't know when he took it out, and he didn't use the compass to find the dungeon, because it was useless.

If you can't come directly above the inheritance, the pointer won't bend, but who will have nothing to do to put it at the entrance of the dungeon!

Therefore, the role of the compass can only be revealed after entering the underground palace, and now Guo Chen has taken it out, just because the pointer on it is bent.
