Chapter 198: White Tower Dungeon
At the same time, the main hall of the Church of Truth.
Helian, who was sitting on a high position, did not give up his hands on the armrest of the throne inlaid with pearls and jades, and looked at the eight ambassadors standing in two columns at the foot of the steps with an indifferent expression, wearing a solemn and luxurious black robe without wind, "Why are there only a few of you?" β
The white-haired but handsome-looking Heavenly Envoy pondered for a moment, and then took half a step towards the front of the hall, "Holy Venerable, the Dharma Protector of Vilou Bocha is still in retreat, and the disciples sent to invite Lord Bishamen and Lord Doraka a few days ago have also found nothing. β
Helian didn't give up his eyebrows, and his originally calm expression showed a crack in anger, "So, where is the Viliuli Protector?" β
"Lord Viruli, he ......" The Heavenly Envoy was silent in the middle of speaking, hesitating how to say such words that offended people at both ends in order to minimize the implication on himself.
But Helian didn't give up his gaze, and instantly moved all his gaze to the Heavenly Envoys," he continued. β
"Lord Viruli has been away from the church for many days, and no one knows where he has gone."
After listening to the answer of the Heavenly Envoy, Helian did not give up and tilted his head slightly, and his pupils became darker, "Why didn't any of you report this matter to me?" β
ββ¦β¦ Subordinates know their mistakes. Several envoys lowered their heads in unison, in fact, they all knew about the apostasy of the new Dharma Protector who was very angry, but none of them wanted to wade into this troubled water to make a small report.
Seeing that several of his subordinates had such an attitude, Helian stood up from the throne with a cold face, "Since you know your mistake, why don't you hurry up and find someone!" β
"Yes."
After the order, the eight people left the scene one after another, and there was no word to each other.
It wasn't until he walked out of the main hall for a long time that Gandharva couldn't help but pull the corner of Yaksha's clothes curiouslyβ"On weekdays, I always see you and the Navi Liuli Dharma Protector talking and laughing, aren't you on good terms?" Where did he go, you don't know? β
Yaksha turned his head noncommittally when he heard this, his seaweed-like black and thick hair hung down directly on his shoulders, and a goose-yellow neon dress swayed in the wind like a blooming hypericum, "Even if I know ......" Yaksha's tone paused, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a mischievous smile, "I won't tell you either!" Hee-hee~"
"Hey!" Seeing that Yaksha turned around and ran away, Gandharva was angry and wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the celestial envoys behind her.
"If she has a way to find someone, why should we bother with ourselves?" The Celestial Beings made half of their faces disappear in the shadows, their eyes wandering as they watched the figure of the Yaksha go away, and their snow-like silver hair was gilded with a cold glow.
And Helian, who was left alone in the main hall, sat back on the throne as if he was deflated, closed his eyes tiredly for a while, and then raised his hand to call a disciple and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation down the mountain?" β
The black-armored masked disciple knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and bowed, "Qi Qi Holy Venerable, the martial arts people led by Chongyang Palace, Tingyulou and other sects have arrived in Yushui Town. β
ββ¦β¦β
Helian raised his head and looked out the window without saying a word, and then sighed faintly, his eyes becoming colder, "Got it, you can step aside." β
It seems that this conflict came much earlier than previously anticipated!
β¦β¦
In the quiet and dark depths of the mountain forest, the trees that rise from the ground are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun.
"It's weird, I remember it was here!"
Chaolu, who was tired from walking for a long time, leaned against a tree trunk and looked up at the sky, she had walked around the area several times in order to find the altar last time and the deserted mansion where Helian's immortal remains were found, but the area disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.
This situation is really weird, if it weren't for the martial arts secrets book, dagger and stone cube in her pocket, she couldn't help but suspect that she was dreaming of those places!
After searching for a long time to no avail, she had no choice but to reroute to Baiyang Tower.
Last time, she was in a hurry to understand the floor of the Narauszi mechanism, but this time she still has more time, she can stay and study it carefully to see if she can find any secret passages......
So he finally came to the white tower, and after checking left and right to make sure that it was unguarded, he cautiously walked to the tower gate.
But just as she was looking at the floor and thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps behind her.
With a move in his heart, he subconsciously retracted into the bushes and hid, and waited until someone approached before he saw through the cracks in the leaves that it was a Shinrikyo disciple carrying a food box.
Clenched his fists, silently walked out from behind the tree and teleported behind the man, his eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and slashed the person unconscious.
"There are so many meals, is there really someone imprisoned there......" Chao Lu bent down and opened the food box to look at the rice and dishes that were still hot, and then dragged the fainting rice delivery disciple to the grass, and took off the people's clothes and changed them into two times.
In fact, she had already studied it almost just now, and the words carved on the floor of the white tower were exactly the same as the stone cube in her hand! Each of the nine squares formed a group, connected from end to end to form a complete scripture, although she couldn't read the words, but after looking for a long time to study the rules, she decided to take a risk.
Taking a deep breath, he took the first step - his toes landed steadily, and nothing seemed to move.
Is that really the case......
I was secretly happy for a moment, and then I took the second and third steps, and I got closer and closer to the bronze Buddha statue.
Who knew that she had just walked halfway, and the Buddha statue on the opposite side suddenly let out a few roars, and then it was like turning on some kind of mechanism, turning around three hundred and sixty degrees, and the whole Buddha statue turned into a posture with its back to the tower gate.
Not understanding what was going on, Chaolu chuckled in his heart.
As soon as I looked up again, I saw that a gap was cracked on the back of the Buddha statue and slowly pulled to both sides, and soon a secret door just enough for one person to pass appeared!
Two Shinrikyo disciples walked out of the secret door and saw Chaolu carrying a food box, and one of them asked, "Are you here to deliver food?" β
"Huh? Oh, yes, yes......" After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly replied, remembering that he had already changed into the clothes of the disciple who delivered the meal, there was nothing to be afraid of, Chao Lu stubbornly carried the food box in his hand, "Haha, there are not enough people in the kitchen today, and it is a little late." β
"It's okay, you can go in," the two disciples didn't seem to be suspicious, just looked down at the floor and walked over in a certain order, "We've changed shifts." β
Afraid that the other party would notice the clue, she smiled doggedly and buried her head lower.
Fortunately, the two of them chatted and laughed, and walked directly around Chaolu without asking anything.
Whew, it's dangerous......
After they left, Chao Lu continued to walk forward with the food box, and as soon as he walked into the secret door on the back of the Buddha statue, he heard the roar of the mechanism activating in his ears, and after the secret door was closed, the whole space rotated in place.
Only then did she see clearly that there was an escalator leading to the ground in the center of this hollow Buddha statue!
This demon cult is too clever, isn't it, it's so hidden to get a prison, even if this thing is not guarded at all, few people will be able to find their way in, right? If she hadn't been inspired by the Stone Cube, she might not have been able to crack the mechanism here after a lifetime of research......
Walking through the secret passage to the basement floor, she was greeted by a stone chamber divided into many cells, and the space illuminated by the flickering candle flame was very limited, and her eyes had to adjust for a long time before she gradually saw the scene ahead.
"The one who delivers the food, put the things down and leave!" A disciple with a figure of five big and three thick happened to come over, and when he saw Chaolu standing in place, he urged a little impatiently.
Seeing that this disciple was going to divide the food in the food box and serve it to those who were locked in the cell, Chaolu rolled his eyes and walked over diligently to volunteer to help, "Oh, this big brother, you just have a good rest, just do these small thingsββ"
"Hmph, you're a newcomer who is quite sensible!" The stout disciple who looked like a cell leader glanced at Chaolu triumphantly, and then sat back in his place.
Asaro laughed dryly twice, then divided the meal and served it.
When I walked to the prison door, I saw a few familiar faces, it turned out that the heads of the sect who disappeared a few days ago were all arrested by Shinrikyo......
It's just that she looked over one cell after another, but she didn't find the figure of Yu Fengxian - why is this happening, didn't Yin Yin say that everyone is locked up here?
"Whoever is that, don't be sluggish, leave quickly when you're done!" Seeing that Chaolu's movements were a little slow, the cell boss over there shouted angrily.
In desperation, Chaolu had no choice but to dip his finger in some soup and write a few words on the tray, and then pushed it under the cell door along with the food.
Luo Jiu, the head of the Qingshan faction in the cell, glanced at the font on the tray with one side eye, and raised his head to look at Chaolu in surprise.
Chao Lu made a lip gesture at him and turned her head to leave, she knew in her heart that she had been out for a long time, and if she didn't go back, something might happen......
Leaving the dungeon of the White Yang Tower, Chaolu hurried all the way back to the back mountain gate, and after a little notice and delayed for so long, she put on the clothes of the disciple who delivered the meal, and showed the token she brought in her pocket and passed the mountain gate guard without encountering any obstacles.
Finally, he left the altar in fear and returned to his lodgings, and the thrilling day was finally over.
However, as soon as she entered the house and blew out the oil lamp, and wanted to lie down on the bed to rest, she touched a cold human hand in the dark......
"it, who?!"
He screamed in fright, and the muscles of his whole body tightened and he reflexively threw a punch forward.
But her fist was actually in someone's palm in the past, and then the other party twisted it backhand, and the whole body lost its center of gravity and fell backwards, with this sudden action, her heart hung in her throat.
It wasn't until the man's arm wrapped around her waist that a familiar voice came over - "Don't be afraid, it's me." β
"Jun Wuye?"
She called tentatively, her palms were covered with cold sweat, and she was almost scared to death by this guy!
"I'm here to inform you, something is wrong......"
Jun Wuye's voice was rarely a little solemn, and Chaolu had just relaxed a little, and he tightened again with what he said next.
