Chapter 76: Heavenly Void Palace
Lou Zheng and Xiao Zhe didn't know that Duan Qingyao's injuries had basically healed at this time.
They cautiously entered the outer courtyard of the mansion.
The interior of this mansion is magnificent, the rockery pavilion, the garden path are all exquisite and elegant, and the most strange thing is that after entering the mansion, you don't feel the enthusiasm outside at all. It's like two worlds.
Di Yongchang, who was frightened by the phantom pit of the stream, immediately asked with some trepidation: "The beautiful scenery in this mansion is not an illusion, right?" ”
Even Dai Zizhen shook his head and affirmed: "It's not an illusion, Brother Di, look over there." ”
Looking in the direction that Dai Zizhen pointed, the dirt in a small flower garden over there was messy, and the soil that had been turned was still a little wet, obviously it had just been moved.
Lou Zheng walked over, searched in the soil that had just been turned, and twisted out two roots, "It's the Tianxu grass that has been dug up here." ”
There are also several rare spirit plants in the flower garden, but unfortunately the year is still young and has no alchemy value.
"Since someone has been here, it can't be an illusion."
Dai Zizhen said.
The mansion was extremely quiet, only the gentle footsteps of a few of them echoed, revealing a kind of weirdness.
The outer courtyard of the entire mansion was very large, and there were many rooms, but a few people didn't see anything at all except for the fact that a few Tianxu grasses were found in the flower garden in the outer courtyard, and the entrance to the lower floor was not even seen.
What's even more strange is that there are so many rooms in the outer courtyard, and every room is empty, and there are no decorations on it, which feels like an empty room that has just been decorated and has not had time to be furnished.
Several people divided their heads to inspect the rooms in the outer courtyard, and finally converged in front of the arch leading to the inner courtyard.
"There's weirdness in this mansion. Everyone be careful. Lou Zheng reminded, and at the same time, emergency pills were distributed to Dai Zizhen and Di Yongchang, and Xiao Zhe also distributed talismans.
Stepping over the arch and entering the inner courtyard, the environment is treacherous, the prosperous buildings I just saw in the outer courtyard, the beautiful and elegant garden is like a dream, compared with the outer courtyard, it is simply not like a world.
The inner courtyard is barren and dilapidated, and the garden is overgrown with weeds. The lake also dried up, exposing silt. Those originally gorgeous palaces revealed the vicissitudes of life, and the carved wooden doors were mottled, as if they would be crumbling with a gentle push of their hands.
Though the inner court is desolate. Compared to the luxury of the outer courtyard. But it seems more real.
It was as if the outer courtyard had just been renovated. And this inner courtyard is what has been preserved after thousands of years of baptism in the Heavenly Realm.
Although shocked, Lou Zheng and Xiao Zhe did not forget their purpose.
Passing through a small deserted garden, you will arrive at the gathering place of the mansion and the palace.
There's more to the building here. It is more magnificent than the outer courtyard, but it has left traces of time.
At this time, the courtyard in front of them is the main courtyard of the mansion, there are dozens of palaces in the main courtyard alone, and there is a crooked plaque hanging on the main hall in the middle, with the book "Tianxu Palace".
The four of them looked at each other twice, and cautiously stepped into the main courtyard.
Lou Zheng held the peach blossom sword in his hand and walked towards the "Tianxu Palace".
At this time, the mottled vermilion door of the "Tianxu Palace" was wide open, but it was dark inside, and it was impossible to see what it looked like inside.
The four of them are not timid people, and they have entered the "Heavenly Void Palace" before and after.
When Di Yongchang was the last to enter the Tianxu Palace, the door of the Tianxu Palace suddenly closed, making a loud "bang".
The original darkness in the main hall was suddenly lit up by several lights, and suddenly, the dim hall was illuminated as if it were day.
At this time, Lou Zheng saw clearly what kind of scene was in this hall.
The plaque directly above the main hall hangs the four strong characters of "honest and honest", the portrait of the Taoist patriarch is below, under the portrait is a bright and yellow case, on both sides are the tall bookcases and Bogu shelves, and the place by the window on the right is placed on the couch, which seems to be for rest. In this way, it looks like the emperor's imperial study arrangement, but it is quite strange to put a delicate dresser next to the couch, look carefully, there are all kinds of women's jewelry on the dresser, there are dozens of kinds of rouge boxes alone, not to mention the objects used in the women's dresses next to it.
In the interstellar world, there was an empress in the Human Cosmic Alliance, and in the history of the Great Wu Dynasty, there was also an empress, could it be that the owner of this mansion was a female monk?
When Lou Zheng was guessing like this in his heart, suddenly a woman's delicate voice sounded in the Tianxu Palace.
"The little girl guessed well, this mansion is the deity's. There are tens of millions of monks in the mainland, but the one who is high and powerful, but there are very few female cultivators, the deity is partial to these stinky male cultivators, and he wants to make a career, and what you set foot in today is one of the mansions that the deity left in this continent. ”
Although this woman's voice is delicate, it is full of majesty, it is a kind of majesty of a superior person, and it is the nobility and arrogance cultivated by holding a high position for a long time and controlling the life and death of tens of millions of people.
People will unconsciously obey and even blindly obey when they hear it.
Lou Zheng was even more surprised, because since she entered the Heavenly Void Palace, she hadn't said a word, she had just been carefully observing the surrounding environment, but she guessed two sentences in her heart, and she was actually seen through by this voice, how terrible this exercise was, didn't it mean that everything they did here, even all their thoughts, were in the grasp of this voice?
No one wants to show all their privacy in front of others, even Lou Zheng doesn't want to at all, even the closest people may have little secrets between each other, not to mention that they are still in front of a stranger.
Xiao Zhe found that Lou Zheng's face was pale, walked to her side, and subconsciously protected her behind him.
And Di Yongchang also dutifully protected Dai Zizhen.
The voice sounded again at this time, "Heh! Today is interesting, the deity has been waiting for 10,000 years, and I haven't seen a single monk enter here, but I don't want to meet two groups in one day today, it's really interesting, I don't know when, the female monks of the Extreme East Continent have become so weak, do they have to rely on these stinky male cultivators? In the previous wave, the female cultivator was protected by three male cultivators, and now it is like this, it is really infuriating! ”
Xiao Zhe and Di Yongchang glanced at each other. didn't expect their subconscious actions to anger the owner of this mansion.
Dai Zizhen was just about to open her mouth to explain loudly, but was stopped by Lou Zheng, "Zizhen, she can see what we are thinking, this is just an excuse to take the opportunity to be angry, even if you say something at this time, she will not listen to you, she will only be more annoyed." ”
Dai Zizhen looked at Lou Zheng in surprise, and sobbed in disbelief, "Really? ”
"Hmph. I still have some brains. For the sake of the face of this clear girl, the deity will give you two ways to choose, the first is to clean the backyard of the deity within two months. And it is in good condition. Second. It's those secret rooms that break into the deity. ”
As soon as they came in from the front yard, they had already seen the area of this backyard, and the backyard of this mansion was the size of a third of the Tianheng Sect. Asking the four of them to renovate in two months is a complete dream! At this time, even if they are all powerful and have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, they may not be able to complete it.
This voice is deliberate, there is no choice at all, they can only go to the secret room!
"How? Tell the deity what you have chosen? ”
Dai Zizhen's personality jumped out of her boldness, and she said loudly when she heard the words: "You know what we think, how can you not know what we choose!" ”
The voice was obviously also tempered by Dai Zizhen, "Stinky girl, the deity can still be arrogant when you get to the secret room for a while!" ”
"Senior, please wait a minute, what if we pass your secret room with the two choices you just mentioned?" Xiao Zhe asked calmly with a slight narrowing of his eyes.
"Boy, do you doubt the deity?"
Xiao Zhe's expression was calm, as if he was not afraid that the owner of this voice would be angry, "Since the seniors are highly respected, why don't you make your words clear and let the juniors rest assured." ”
"Good! Well, if you go through the secret room, you will pick one of those things on the Buddha-figure dressing table. ”
When this voice said this, it seemed to be extremely helpless and a little painful, as soon as the voice fell, a gust of wind blew in the Tianxu Palace, and Xiao Zhe, Lou Zheng, Di Yongchang and Dai Zizhen were divided into two groups, and entered the two secret doors in the hall respectively.
When Lou Zheng and Xiao Zhe opened their eyes together, the two were in an empty secret room with only four walls.
There was nothing in the chamber, except for a dim lamp in the center, and a cyan futon next to it.
This minimalist room is like a dark room used to claustrophobic disciples, "Lou Zheng, you go and look at the two walls, I'll check these two sides." ”
Lou Zheng nodded, and the two of them looked at the two walls separately, and when they were all carefully checked, they didn't even let go of the corners, but they didn't find any clues.
"How?" Lou Zheng asked.
Xiao Zhe shook his head, I don't know what material this wall is made of, spiritual power and divine consciousness can't penetrate into it, and there is no formation in the wall, it looks like an ordinary dark room. “
Lou Zheng was the same, he didn't find anything.
They also checked the futon and lamp, and there was still nothing out of the ordinary.
This strange environment is even more worrying, Xiao Zhe saw that her face was a little pale, and touched Lou Zheng's soft bun soothingly, "It's okay, it's still a long time, we can always find out the strangeness of this secret room." ”
Lou Zheng nodded.
Xiao Zhe looked at her tired, thinking about what Lou Zheng had experienced since she entered the Heavenly Void Realm, whether it was her being injured by Duan Qingyao or Lu Hongxiu's disappearance, it hit her very hard, and she was very distressed for a while.
"Sit down and rest for a while, I'll think of ideas, and I'll try it with the talisman in a while to see if it works."
Xiao Zhe helped Lou Zheng to sit on the only cyan futon in the secret room.
As soon as he sat on the futon, Lou Zheng was shocked and found the difference in this futon.
Lou Zheng sat cross-legged on the futon, closed her eyes, and began to meditate, only to feel that the aura around her body was surging rapidly into her body, she was originally a chaotic physique, and she absorbed aura many times faster than ordinary people, and now sitting on this futon, she felt that the speed of absorbing aura had increased several times!
Such a discovery would have been cried out in ecstasy by any monk.
This inconspicuous-looking futon is simply an artifact, it can speed up the absorption of external spiritual energy by the human monk's body, for example, under the same qualifications, a disciple who originally needed twenty years to build a foundation, if he uses this futon, I am afraid it will only take ten years, or even less.
But Lou Zheng soon opened his eyes and stopped meditating.
Xiao Zhe was standing by the wall unconsciously, checking the wall again, but Lou Zheng suddenly got up and pulled Xiao Zhe to her side.
Xiao Zhe didn't know what happened to Lou Zheng suddenly, but seeing the happy expression on her face, although she was in an unknown secret room, her mood also improved.
He stretched out his hand and pinned Lou Zheng's long hair that was scattered to his cheeks behind his ears, touched her tender white cheeks again, and said dotingly: "What's the matter, what happened so happy, weren't you still tired just now?" ”
Lou Zheng pointed to the cyan futon and was about to tell Xiao Zhe about her discovery, when a voice suddenly came to his mind.
"Little girl, are you so willing to tell him this secret? This futon is the best magic weapon that can make cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, and if you don't say it now, quietly put away this magic weapon, he won't find out, and he won't blame you. If you tell him at this time, I'm afraid you can't monopolize this magic weapon, not only can't you monopolize it, but this magic weapon may also be snatched by him, you ask yourself, if this is the ending, are you really willing? Even if it's someone who likes each other, he can't cultivate for you, it's not about relying on yourself, people don't want to be destroyed for themselves! ”
Lou Zheng was stunned, and immediately understood the reason why the owner of this voice arranged them in this secret room, I am afraid that he wanted to use this futon to separate her and Xiao Zhe.
It's a pity that she completely miscalculated!
"Xiao Zhe, look."
"Little girl, you have to think about it! With this futon, how many detours will you have to take in your future practice, and when you become stronger, what kind of male cultivator do you want to find? Even if it's like him, it's for you to use as a furnace, and it's all in the Far East Continent! ”
Lou Zheng no longer paid attention to the voice in her head, she pointed to the futon, and sat down according to Xiao Zhe, "Xiao Zhe, can you try this futon to see if it is any different." ”
Xiao Zhe looked at her with a light smile, and didn't close his eyes, Lou Zheng squatted down in front of him, "Look at what I'm doing, and I can't see a flower, meditate!" ”
"What a stupid girl, stupid!" The female voice in Lou Zheng's head became angry and scolded her loudly.
Xiao Zhe pulled her closer and let Lou Zheng sit on his lap, "It's cold on the ground, sit here." ”
"You cultivate quickly, I'll go and see if I can find anything on the wall."
"Lou Zheng, you are so stupid, why don't you put away this futon as the voice said."
Lou Zheng's eyes widened, "Did you hear it all?" ”
Xiao Zhe bowed his head, just now Lou Zheng pulled him to the futon, and the female voice sounded, and he heard it.
Lou Zheng rolled his eyes, "It's really to sow discord, it's really hateful." ”
When she made a decision, all her actions had already fallen into Xiao Zhe's eyes, if they didn't trust each other so much, and casually changed to a pair of men and women, it was possible that they would have broken up for a futon at this time! (To be continued......)
