"Who is that?"

Because when Zuo Yang saw this figure, the person had already jumped in, leaving only Zuo Yang with a vague back, so it was impossible for Zuo Yang to see this person's face at all, and he didn't see whether this person was an NPC or a player, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, he only knew that it was a person.

It's supposed to be an NPC, right?

Zuo Yang speculated so, he didn't sneak in when he came to the gate of Shangqing Palace this time, and he had already obtained the waist card of the free upper and lower Laoshan Mountain, and he was not very afraid of the inspection of the NPCs in the evil camp, so he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts at all, and it was an upright "wandering".

In this case, if that person is a player with a high degree of freedom, he must have noticed his existence, and in order to hide his purpose, he will definitely not sneak in almost in front of him like now, and he can wait for him to leave before taking action, anyway, there is no shadow of the guards around the current Shangqing Palace, and there is no need to grab the opportunity.

But this person just did this, so Zuo Yang felt that there was a high probability that the figure was an NPC, and maybe it was also very likely that the adventure mission was triggered because of his arrival......

"Uh......"

Thinking of this, Zuo Yang turned around again and took a closer look near the Shangqing Palace.

The current Shangqing Palace is deserted, there is indeed no shadow of any NPC guards, and there is no movement in it, it may be that the Shangqing Palace has not been officially activated, or it may be that Qiao Beiming has not yet come out of the mountain, so this place has been temporarily closed......

"Or ...... I'm going to follow up and see what's going on? ”

Zuo Yang is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, especially in this game full of adventure tasks, no matter who is changed, as long as he encounters such a strange thing, he will definitely can't help but go up and join in the fun, and see if there will be any adventures.

Thereupon.

Zuo Yang first took out the [Crystal Mirror] and observed it very cautiously through the wall of the Shangqing Palace, making sure that there would be no large number of NPC guards waiting for his arrival in the follow-up, and after finding that the figure could no longer be found, he finally made up his mind......

"Wow!"

With a [Fuyao footwork] triple jump, Zuo Yang also easily jumped onto the courtyard wall, and then quickly disappeared into it.

……

It was still daytime, and Zuo Yang's vision was not bad, so he quickly figured out the specific situation in the Shangqing Palace.

There was a large courtyard with three entrances, and on the east and west sides of the courtyard were two rows of houses with doors and windows facing each other, and the doors were also closed like the outside, and there was no plaque on the top of the door indicating the purpose of the house, and it was also locked by some large copper locks connected to iron chains.

Zuo Yang did not act rashly, but quickly passed through the two courtyards in front of him, and finally found some abnormalities when he came to the third courtyard.

The third courtyard has a slightly different layout from the first two.

There is a large hall in the north of this courtyard, and the plaque of the main hall has the words "Shangqing Pavilion" on the book, and the plaque that reads "Shangqing Palace" hanging outside the gate forms an internal and external echo, and at the same time, the gate of "Shangqing Pavilion" is also firmly locked with a big copper lock.

On the east and west sides, it is still the same house as the first two yards, but the difference is that in these houses, the copper locks on the doors of two houses on the west side have been opened, not the normal kind of opening, but being directly split in half with a sharp weapon and thrown on the ground, and the broken incision is very smooth.

This situation was most likely caused by the person who jumped in just now, and it also made Zuo Yang even more sure that the figure he saw before was an NPC.

Because no matter how strong the player's skills are and how powerful the weapons in his hands are, they can't cause this degree of damage to the locked props in this game, and only by becoming a craftsman can they use normal means to unlock the lock.

"So who is this person? What's the purpose of sneaking into here with this means? ”

Based on the scene in front of him, Zuo Yang guessed that this person was likely to come to the Shangqing Palace to look for something, although it was not clear what was hidden here, but it was enough to start to make him have some doubts about the unity of the entire evil camp.

Obviously, some people came here not completely to respond to Qiao Beiming's call to fight to the death with the decent camp, but like him, with other ulterior motives.

But for now, although the locks on both doors have been broken, the doors are still tightly closed.

Therefore, Zuo Yang couldn't determine which room the person who came in first was now, and before he completely figured out the purpose and identity of the other party, in order not to startle the snake, he still couldn't act rashly, but tiptoed a little closer, and took out the [crystal mirror] again and peeked inside.

The first room was empty, except that the doors of the wooden cabinets inside had all been opened, and there was nothing inside.

In addition, according to the marks on the ground, it can be seen that all the furniture in this room has been moved and placed in the center of the room very messily.

"This ......"

Seeing this scene, Zuo Yang was even more sure that the person was here to look for something, and this thing may be hidden very secretly, maybe in some secret compartment, otherwise there was no need for that person to move these pieces of furniture and look so carefully.

If this kind of thing is changed to Zuo Yang, it will become much easier, the [crystal mirror] in his hand is definitely the nemesis of all dark grids, and nothing can be hidden.

Enjoying the sense of superiority in his heart, Zuo Yang spied into the second unlocked room.

The doors of the wooden cabinet are still open, and all the furniture has been moved, but it is still empty?

"What about people?"

Seeing such a scene, Zuo Yang suddenly had some doubts.

There are only two rooms in the Shangqing Palace that have unlocked the door, but there is no one in either of them, so where can the mysterious person who sneaked in here in front of him go before?

"Could it be that I've been detected and ......?"

Realizing this possibility, Zuo Yang instantly raised his vigilance, and hurriedly looked around to prevent himself from being attacked without knowing it.

It's not that he's too cautious, after all, there are still NPCs in this game who can sense his existence through his breath, just like Zhang Danling, the leader of the Outer Heavens, even if he uses the "Shadow Escape Technique", he still can't escape her ears and eyes, and he must cooperate with the [Secret of Holding Breath] obtained in the secret room of the Tomb Sect.

It's a pity that the duration of the [Secrets of Holding Breath] is only 10 minutes, but the recovery time takes a full hour, and now Zuo Yang is not sure how long he needs to follow the mysterious person, so he didn't use it rashly, otherwise he wouldn't have saved this ability.

After investigating like this for a while, after making sure that he was not being tracked by the mysterious person, he was a little relieved, and once again used the [Crystal Mirror] to peek into the second room that he had not carefully investigated because of his own surprise.

Through this careful investigation, he finally found some clues.

I saw that on the ground in the southeast corner of this room, there was actually a wooden board, and on top of this wooden board, a small metal pull ring was also placed.

Judging from the marks on the ground, there should have been a bed on top of the plank, but now that the bed had been removed, the plank was finally revealed.

"There should be a secret passage under this plank, and the mysterious person I followed must have entered this secret passage, so it looks like he disappeared out of thin air, right?"

Zuo Yang guessed so in his heart, and after carefully observing for a while, and after confirming that there were no suspicions, he finally cautiously pushed open the door of the second room, turned sideways and got in.

……

After entering this room, Zuo Yang walked quickly to the wooden plank, but he was not in a hurry to open it to find out, but continued to use the [Crystal Mirror] to snoop.

Tucked away under the planks is a slide similar to the whitewater rafting in many water parks, with a rounded cross-section and polished walls so smooth that you won't be accidentally bruised as you ride.

This slide winds down, but unfortunately the observation distance of the [Crystal Mirror] is limited, and it is impossible to see where this slide has gone at a glance, if you want to continue to explore, you must venture down to see it yourself.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!"

has reached this point, although Zuo Yang knows that he may encounter many unknown dangers if he rushes to follow, how can he give up easily?

Thereupon.

He gritted his teeth, first took out the [Hidden Song Sword], smeared the [Zhong Ling Mink Poison] in advance, and then ruthlessly used the [Secret of Holding Breath] that had been left until now in advance, and after making these preparations, he finally pulled up the plank lightly, and jumped into the slide as soon as he lifted his foot.

"Huh——! Uproar——! ”

This slide is indeed quite long, and Zuo Yang snaws through it very fast, and even feels a very obvious sense of weightlessness, and there is only a noisy sound of breaking the air in his ears.

After sliding like this for about a few tens of seconds, a bright light finally appeared in front of me.

In normal times, this kind of falling speed is definitely going to kill people even if it falls directly on the ground in the game, but this time Zuo Yang is not too worried about this problem, since it is a secret passage, it is for people to walk, and other measures must have been taken below, unless this is a trap designed in advance.

Really.

"Huh!"

With a soft sound, he had already plunged into a very thick pile of wheat straw at the exit of the slideway like a cannonball, and was unscathed except for the fact that he had not noticed a large mouthful of wheat straw.

"Ahh

Spit out the wheat straw in his mouth, Zuo Yang didn't dare to slack off, and crawled out of the wheat straw pile with quick movements, immediately observing the surrounding environment.

There is still a secret passage that leads to nowhere, but unlike the previous one, this secret passage no longer extends downward, but parallelly, and is brightly lit by the very dense oil lamps on both sides, otherwise Zuo Yang would not have been able to see the light when he was about to come out of the slide.

This kind of environment is very unfavorable for Zuo Yang to perform the "Shadow Escape Technique", because the shadow is almost non-existent, but unfortunately he tried to extinguish these oil lamps, but he couldn't do it, so he had to give up.

It was at this time.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the secret passage ahead, but it wasn't too loud, it sounded like the kind of scream that she tried to control but couldn't control because of some unexpected situation.

“！？”

Zuo Yang hurriedly subconsciously shrank back, he didn't want to be discovered so soon.

However, it sounded like this cry was still some distance away from him, and with the fact that he had already cast the [Secret of Holding Breath], it was not so easy to find him.

After waiting quietly for a moment, and no other sound came, Zuo Yang tentatively continued to grope forward along the secret passage.

After walking a few tens of meters, he discovered a new situation.

It was a dead human skeleton leaning against the wall of the secret passage in a half-lying position, and the skeleton had completely turned into a skeleton, but judging from the hair still hanging on the skull's head, the hairpin inserted in the hair, and the clothes on the body, it was vaguely concluded that the deceased should be a woman.

However, it is a little strange that the clothes on this corpse are very messy, the clothes on the neckline and chest are completely torn, as if they are in a state of open chest and exposed breasts, and the skirt of the lower body is also lifted, revealing the two legs of the corpse that have remained in a split state, and only dry bones remain......

This state is as if she has been trampled to death by some adulterer, after all, for any woman, this posture and clothing situation is really too unsightly, even if it has become dry bones.

Of course, the possibility that the remains were touched by someone after death cannot be ruled out......

Thinking like this, Zuo Yang's attention has been focused on the hairpin, because the hairpin is also a kind of equipment for players, maybe what kind of good thing is it?

Thereupon.

The hairpin soon arrived in Zuo Yang's hands, and it was not a good equipment, just a prop for the whiteboard.

However, he was not disappointed, just shook his head self-deprecatingly, inserted the hairpin back into the corpse's hair, and straightened its clothes again before continuing to touch the front of the secret passage.

In a short time, a hidden stone gate blocked his way.

At the same time, a strange aroma also penetrated his nastrils, and the system prompts followed:

- [Please note that [Ten Thousand Poisons Are Inviolable] has successfully resisted the [Yin and Yang Harmony] arranged in the secret passage of Laoshan Mountain!] 】

"Yin and Yang and Dispersion?"

Zuo Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

You know what this poison is used for just by hearing the name, so the death status of the female remains just now seems to be instantly understandable!

At the same time, Zuo Yang's mind also involuntarily flashed some bloody plots that were rotten by martial arts:

The heroine was accidentally plotted by the villain, and was hit by a poison with a similar effect to [Yin Yang and Hesan], and it happened that the male protagonist passed by here, and in desperation, he had to save the heroine at the cost of dedication...... Good for his meow, a shameless martial arts story!
