Chapter 8: The Underground Palace

"Senior brother said you can't trust strangers." Li Chu made a tangled look.

Do you say yes, when I'm a three-year-old? Hmph, I'm at least four years old.

"You don't believe it? Do you still have a senior brother named Xia Ziheng? ”

"Xia Ziheng is my junior brother." Li Chu said innocently.

Baili Hao choked, thinking about the aggrieved appearance of that kid calling a little baby senior brother, and soon gloated again, "Haha, that kid is actually willing to call you senior brother?" ”

"I'm looking for Senior Brother Yun." Li Chu said aggrievedly, trying hard to squeeze out tears.

Seeing that the little apprentice was about to cry, the little pitiful appearance, Baili Hao panicked, "Little apprentice, can the master take you to treasure hunting?" ”

Li Chu readily agreed, and followed the old man with his short legs, his mood was a little low, he suddenly disappeared, would Yun Mo be worried? I thought about how to get rid of the old man when I got to the treasure place.

……

Yun Mo arrived at the entrance of the treasure early, and the old man must have come to the forest to see the excitement, so he was waiting for the old man to throw himself into the net.

Meng Yi, who was hidden in the shadows, looked at the master's gloomy face even though he was wearing a mask, and silently lit a row of wax for Baili Hao in his heart, the master is not a soft-hearted person, and he will not think of the master-apprentice relationship when he gets angry.

Meng Yi had already sent a signal, and the people and horses who were scurrying around in the forest saw that they were rushing towards this side. After about a quarter of an hour, most of the people arrived at the entrance one after another.

Xia Ziheng and Chu Jue arrived first, Xia Ziheng knew that it was a signal sent by his family, and thought that something had happened to his senior brother, so he naturally didn't dare to delay.

Hurriedly came but saw Senior Brother standing there coldly alone, "Senior Brother, what happened?" What about the little brother? Xia Ziheng had a guess right now, what could make the senior brother angry, it was estimated that Xiao Chuli had an accident.

"Master took it away." Yun Mo said coldly.

Xia Ziheng didn't dare to speak out again, he had a strong premonition that the master was about to be unlucky, and he actually dared to abduct Xiao Chuli under the nose of the senior brother. Well, these sanctimonious old men are also going to be unlucky, looking at the teams that are coming one after another, Xia Ziheng thought gloatingly.

Originally, the various sects saw someone sending a signal, but they just thought something was happening, but when they arrived, they found that this place should be the location of the treasure when they checked the map. Suddenly excited, only after a short period of excitement, I realized that most of the centaurs had already gathered, which was not a good thing, and the only way to find the treasure as soon as possible before the others was to do so.

All of a sudden, everyone was looking for a place that might be a hidden treasure, and they couldn't wait to dig three feet into the ground to find out the treasure quickly, and suddenly the scene became chaotic.

Yun Mo watched coldly, only paying attention to whether Baili Hao appeared.

Under the carpet search of everyone, the entrance was quickly found, it was a disciple of Liuxian Pavilion who accidentally fell into a hole, but found that there was something else in the cave, there was actually a long tunnel, everyone guessed that this should be the way to the treasure, so they rushed into the cave.

After all the others went in, only Yun Mo and a few people were still in place, seeing that the master did not appear, the yin owl in Yun Mo's eyes was heavier, and then he snorted coldly and entered the tunnel, he was here, and the old man probably didn't dare to show up.

Seeing that the senior brother had entered, Xia Ziheng hurriedly followed, and Chu Jue chuckled lightly and followed.

Yun Mo and a few people walked in along the tunnel, and after a while, they saw a group of people in front of them stop, fortunately, there was an open space in front of them, but so many people still seemed crowded. It turned out that everyone was blocked by a quaint stone gate.

At this time, Jiang Shenbi, Gu Qinglan, and Rong Cheng were working together to open the door, and many people had tried various methods before but failed to open the stone door, but were attacked and injured.

The three of them worked together to slap the stone gate with one palm, the stone gate cracked a crack, and the three of them were also counterattacked, and the blood suddenly gushed up, but they couldn't be ashamed in front of so many juniors, so they all held back and pressed it hard.

"Tut, don't use brute force to solve everything, how uncivilized. You guys, you have to learn more from the landlord and use your brains more. Chu Jue finally squeezed to the front and deliberately mocked the three useless old men.

Jiang Shenbi and the three of them are very popular, you have the ability! The tone was not good, "Does the Lord of Chu Lou have a way to open it?" ”

Everyone looked at Chu Jue expectantly, waiting for him to show his skills.

"Of course......," Chu Jue paused before continuing, "It's the Yun Zhuang Master who has a way to open it." ”

Chu Jue quickly threw the pot to Xia Ziheng, "Lord Yunzhuang has great powers, such a trivial matter is not difficult for him." Yun Zhuang owner, is what the owner of this building said right? ”

Xia Ziheng didn't care about him, seeing that his senior brother was getting colder and colder, he should hurry in. At the moment, he pretended to look for the door, "This stone door seems to have a mechanism." Then he pointed to an inconspicuous protrusion on the top of the stone gate, and said to Chu Jue, "Master Chu, do you see if you are here?" ”

Chu Jue was also defenseless, touched it lightly, and found that it could be rotated, so he turned around in the direction that could be rotated, during which Xia Ziheng pretended to inadvertently take a step back.

Suddenly, the stone gate moved, and the next moment Chu Jue sensed the danger, and turned back and stepped back, and a row of arrows flashing with cold light shot out from the place where he had just stood.

Chu Jue broke out in a cold sweat, looked at the arrow that shot into the ground, and glared at Xia Ziheng fiercely, he definitely did it on purpose, he was almost shot into a hedgehog.

Xia Ziheng sneered at him provocatively, calling you cheap!

As the arrow shot out, the stone door slowly opened, but everyone had just witnessed that Chu Jue was almost injured by the hidden weapon, so they were all a little cautious, and they didn't want to be the first to go in, for fear that there would be traps.

"Hey, why don't you go in? Then I'm welcome, I'll go first. Xia Ziheng took the lead in stepping through the stone gate, hey, a group of cowards.

Seeing that Xia Ziheng passed safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind, but they didn't dare to rush to the front, for fear of triggering the hidden weapon. Inside the stone gate is a long passage, which, unlike the humble tunnels in front of it, is carefully designed.

walked for a while safely and soundly, everyone saw that there was no danger, and their vigilance was not so heavy, and when they saw Xia Ziheng walking slowly in front, they became impatient, and they all wanted to find the treasure quickly, so they crossed Xia Ziheng and walked to the front.

Xia Ziheng squinted and watched everyone surpass him, and his pace became slower, until he landed at the end and walked with his senior brother.

……

Over there, Baili Hao saw that everyone had entered the cave in the dark, so he sneaked out with Li Chu, but as soon as he appeared, a circle of black-clothed people wearing masks surrounded him, and the leader was Meng Yi, "Old man, let's wait." ”

It's hard to fly now, the master is like a god, and the old man really appeared.

Li Chu continued to pretend to be harmless, "Grandpa, are they here to arrest us?" ”

Li Chu heard Meng Yi's voice and put his mind at ease, it seemed that the senior brother was nearby.

"Don't be afraid, little master, we are here to save you." Meng Yi was afraid that Li Chu had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.

Baili Hao was so angry that he jumped to his feet, the stinky boy didn't know how to respect teachers at all, and he actually sent so many people to wait for him. Baili Hao knew very well that he couldn't fall into their hands, that kid didn't recognize his six relatives. made a decision immediately, and threw Li Chu at Meng Yi, and Meng Yi hurried to follow Li Chu.

Baili Hao flew up and was about to break out of the encirclement. However, the next moment, a net came down, and Baili Hao's net fell to the ground in it, and a group of people instantly surrounded him and restrained him.

Baili Hao regretted and was careless, this kid is really more cunning than a fox, so many tricks are waiting for him.

Meng Yi and then Li Chu put her down, he didn't dare to hug her for a while, if he let the master know, it would be troublesome.

Li Chu saw that Baili Hao was caught, and squinted dangerously, this old man actually threw himself down and ran, although he was not injured, but he still had to remember him fiercely.

Meng Yi asked his subordinates to tie up Baili Hao, take him back to the villa for the time being, and wait for the master to go back before he returns. He took Li Chu to find Yun Mo.

"You're a Dark Guard?" Li Chu was very curious about Meng Yi, he seemed to have been following Yun Mo all the time, and he didn't know where he was hiding, and he didn't feel it at all.

"Yes."

"Do you follow your brother all day? So how do you eat and sleep? ”

"Uh, on duty." Meng Yi didn't dare to offend Li Chu, so he had to ask and answer, of course, he couldn't say much.

"Oh." Seeing that Meng Yi didn't want to say more, Li Chu lost interest, stopped asking questions, and turned to study this authentic passage seriously.

Li Chu and the two walked along the tunnel all the way, walked through the stone gate, and walked a long way, but they did not encounter any danger along the way, and of course, they did not meet anyone else.

Now Li Chu is looking at the three-way road in front of him in a tangled way, and he doesn't know which way Yun Mo and the others are going? Looking at the marks on the ground, uh, it looks like there are people walking on all three roads.

"You, come here." Li Chu beckoned to Meng Yi, "Close your eyes and turn around a few times, then stop." ”

Meng Yi didn't know why, but he did it anyway.

Li Chu saw that Meng Yi stopped and the direction he was in the direction was the first way, raised his leg and walked over, Meng Yi still staggered to follow, this decision is too hasty, do you want to think about it again, little master?

Li Chu looked and walked, very curious about this ancient building, is this really just a place to hide treasures? Li Chu vaguely felt that this was more like a tomb, if it was just for placing treasures, there was no need to build it so complicated, just dig a pit.

Li Chuchu thought about whether he had something or not, and he didn't touch the mechanism along the way, even if there was a mechanism, the people who walked before should have already touched it, so he didn't pay too much attention to his feet. Suddenly there was a sudden change, and Li Chu stepped on the air and fell straight down, damn! There is really a mechanism, Li Chu scolded secretly.

Meng Yi was just about to go over and grab Li Chu, the floor tiles had been closed in an instant, Meng Yi used his internal strength to slap the floor tiles with one palm, but he didn't react at all, and he didn't know where the little master touched the mechanism, Meng Yi searched all around and didn't find the mechanism to open the floor tiles.

I don't know how the little master is, I don't dare to delay any longer at the moment, or find the master first, the master must have a way.

"Hiss", Li Chu got up from the ground, rubbed his sore arm, looked again, and found that he had fallen into a stone room, but there was nothing empty in the stone room.

"Strange, what are you doing with an empty stone room?" Li Chu muttered, he didn't know which trick he had fallen into, Meng Yi didn't fall, it seemed that he couldn't count on him, alas, he could only rely on himself.

Li Chu looked at the hole he had fallen from, it was too high, he would definitely not be able to climb up, so he could only look to see if there was any other exit. Then he searched everywhere, touching here and there, and tried any place that might be a mechanism.

After more than ten minutes, I finally found it, Li Chu looked at the small hole in front of him, it was really small, only half his height, and he was silent, the dog holes were bigger than it.

Li Chu had to lie down and climb out, looked up, and was stunned, it was actually a magnificent bedroom, Li Chu's eyes were almost blinded, this golden furniture, teapots and wine glasses and other objects, even the curtains are embroidered with gold and silver threads, Li Chu is speechless, living here really won't be blinded?

Li Chu stood up and looked around, and found that there was a door to go out, so he was not in a hurry to leave. Li Chu felt more and more that this was an underground palace, maybe even someone's mausoleum, but he didn't feel afraid, but was full of interest.

The tables and chairs were covered with thick dust, and it looked like it had been for many years, and Li Chu gently pulled the curtains, uh, broken, and it was estimated that it would be hundreds of years if not a thousand years.

There was a book on the table, and Li Chu opened it carefully, for fear that he would break it if he accidentally used one book, after all, so many years have passed.

The handwriting on the book is a little blurry, and many places are incomplete, which is probably gnawed by insects.

Li Chu half looked at it and half speculated, and finally came to the conclusion that this seemed to be a biography, recording the life of a big man.

It's just that the content is incomplete, and the information obtained is limited, I only know what kind of prince is the Molong Kingdom, Li Chu also has a general understanding of the pattern of this continent, but he has not heard of the Molong Kingdom, it is estimated that it is a former dynasty country.

Li Chu looked around, and found a small locked box under the pillow on the bed, which was quite heavy, and he didn't know what it contained, so he searched the room and didn't find the key.

Li Chu thought about it, and let Yun Mo take a look, what if there is something like a hidden weapon when he opens it? Li Chu stretched out his hand and wanted to open the door to go out, but the next moment he was bounced back and fell to the ground, this time it was not light, the defenseless Li Chu fell to the ground and fainted.

At the same time, the people in the dungeon were scattered everywhere, looking for treasures everywhere.

The further you go in the dungeon, the more traps there are, and many people, like Li Chu, accidentally trigger the trap to fall, so many people are scattered, and the dungeon is intricate, so they have to break everywhere. During this period, many lone people were killed, some of them died under the secret weapons of the mechanism, but most of them were the result of fighting each other, after all, the more people there are, the less chance of getting the treasure.

……

"Damn! This ancient man also has a lot of eyes, how can there be organs everywhere. I don't know how long it took, Li Chu woke up, sat up and rubbed his sore arm, he was too unlucky, he didn't know how many times he fell after coming to this time and space.

Eh, no, Li Chu looked at his white arms in shock, and stood up excitedly the next moment, he grew up!! It's back to its original form!

Li Chu quickly recovered from the excitement, what the hell is going on, why did he suddenly grow up? Could it be that I have slept for more than ten years? The next moment, he denied this idea again, it was impossible, if he didn't have to starve to death, not to mention that the small wound on his hand hadn't healed yet. Is it because of this fall? When I first crossed over, I just fell on the roof and fainted, no, what the hell is this?

Li Chu looked at the small clothes on his body that were almost out of breath, so let's find clothes to change into first.

Fortunately, there are clothes in the wardrobe in this bedroom, although they are all broken with a little force, but it is better than nothing, so I can only go out and find a way to "borrow" one.

There are both men's and women's clothes in the wardrobe, Li Chu looked at most of the clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads, silently took the most simple men's clothes, and put them on carefully.

Li Chu stood in front of the door, this door seemed to be nothing wrong, Li Chu took a golden teacup and threw it, and sure enough, the teacup was bounced back. Li Chu was very distressed, what the hell is this? After some tinkering, I found that I had no choice but to squat on the ground and draw circles in depression.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "bang", there was a sound at the door, Li Chu stood up and was about to draw his sword, only to see the door slowly open, it was its own ...... Opened?

Naturally not, Li Chu looked at the white shadow outside the door, someone is coming!

Song Hanshi accidentally got separated from the team on the way, it was very strange here, and when he walked here, he saw that there was a formation and broke it casually, but he didn't expect that there were people inside. Song Hanshi stood outside the door and looked at the other side defensively...... The woman, although she was dressed in men's clothes, was clearly ill-fitting, and her hair was scattered, and it was easy to tell that she was a woman between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Why is the girl here alone?" Song Hanshi broke the silence.

Li Chu saw that the person who came did not seem to have malicious intent, and it was a person, so he should have come here unintentionally. Besides, he doesn't look like a bad guy, he looks handsome, he doesn't look like a person in the rivers and lakes, but like an elegant nobleman.

"Well, I got separated from my brother and accidentally fell from it." Li Chu said half-truthfully, "Thank you for saving your life." Li Chu made a decent gesture, no matter what, this person can be regarded as his savior.

"It's just a gesture, when it's cold."

"Song Daxia." Li Chu thought about it, now that he has grown up, his previous name is still not used, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, he still reported his real name, "My name is Li Chu." ”

"Miss Li, just call me by my name." Listening to Li Chu call himself Song Daxia, he was really not used to it.

"Uh, Brother Hanshi?" Li Chu didn't know much about the names of these ancients.

Song Hanshi chuckled, this girl is really interesting, "It's very weird here, if Miss Li doesn't dislike it, why don't you go with you?" ”

"Okay." Li Chu readily agreed, and finally ran into someone, and it seemed that he still had some ability, and it was safer to walk with him.
