Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Underground Palace

Three days later, the group finally came to the vicinity of the underground palace.

Legend has it that this was originally an ancient capital, there was an immortal who came here to become the emperor of the country, and then the immortal did something against heaven for his beloved woman, and the heavenly catastrophe caused the entire capital to sink into the ground, and the fairy was forever sealed in the underground palace to wash away their sins with tears all day long.

Because the legend of the curse has become more and more outrageous over time, and the area is extremely barren and the terrain is treacherous, the area around the underground palace has always been an indisputable place for soldiers, and there is no clear boundary between the two countries.

Now, they saw a lot of soldiers stationed on patrol, and guessed that it should be the royal family of the Kingdom of Kui who also started to fight when they heard the news of Lingquan Water.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Kui blocked their way: "What are you doing?" Can't you see that this place has been blocked, and dare to go inside? ”

Yu Wenjin replied simply: "Let's go to the underground palace." ”

"You are Yaoguo people, right?" The soldier raised his spear and pointed to the ground, "From this point on, it's a country of Lu, and if you break in at will, you won't want to go back alive." ”

Yuwen Jin sneered: "I never knew that the underground palace belonged to the territory of the Kingdom of Qi and was under the jurisdiction of the army. ”

The situation was being interrogated here, and more than ten patrolling soldiers over there saw that the costumes of Yu Yue and his party were from the martial arts, and they immediately became vigilant, and walked over and said sharply: "Wasn't it before, but now it is, is it possible that our Queen Mother has to ask for your consent first?" Don't blame us for not leaving. As he spoke, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist and pointed directly at Yu Yue and his party.

Yu Wenjin was as calm as ever, turned his head and said to the three disciples in the left rear: "Just catch it, don't hurt their lives." ”

The three disciples said in unison, "Yes, Sect Master. Then, without even drawing his sword, he flew off his horse and fought with the soldiers of the kingdom.

Although these three disciples had not been in the field for a long time, they were more than enough to deal with a dozen officers and soldiers. Yu Yue and the others did not have the slightest worry, and continued to walk to the entrance of the underground palace in the wailing sound before dismounting.

If there is any difference between the dungeon that makes people talk about the tiger's color change and the sword mountain, the sea of fire, and the hell demon cave, it is that its entrance is too unremarkable, it is just a dark cave surrounded by rocks and sand, and ordinary people will not even look at it if they pass by. But descending hundreds of meters, the ancient capital city that has been sleeping for a hundred years is the real place where the killing machine hides.

In fact, the ancient capital city was all sunk underground and there was no way out and entrance, and the reason why there was a cave there was was a passage that was dug out by later generations who coveted the huge treasures buried in the underground palace. But for a hundred years, all those who entered had never returned, so the legend of the curse continued to circulate, so that no one dared to enter. If it weren't for the temptation of the water of immortality, it might not be long before the entrance to the dungeon would have been obscured by sand and stones, and over time, the terrifying dungeon would only exist in legends.

Because the tunnel was narrow and steep, they left all the horses and vehicles in place, and then lit torches and walked into the tunnel.

The group walked for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly saw a faint light in the distance, and as they moved forward, the light became more and more abundant, until the terrain suddenly opened up, only to find that the entire dungeon was shrouded in a dark blue light. This eerie light acts as a barrier to the rocks and soil, making it seem like another world that exists separately underground.

At this point, they no longer needed torches to see clearly, so the group extinguished the torches and followed the ruins of the ancient city to the entrance to the city gate.

Before stepping into the city gate, I saw a half-human-high stone tablet in the center, on which three big characters were engraved vigorously - the world of life and death.

"Life and death?" Yuwen Jin Xun died for a moment, "It looks like someone deliberately put it here to remind the world not to enter at will." ”

Jiang Zhengxin remembered the "slut" in Yan Ene's mouth, and said: "It should be that the senior who arranged the organ didn't want to hurt people other than Gu Yanjiao, so he erected a monument here." She looked around at the surrounding terrain and environment, "There should be mechanisms and mazes from here, I'll be at the front." ”

"Nope." Bing Qingjie stepped forward to stop him, "You don't know martial arts and you can't move, it's very dangerous." ”

Jiang Zhengxin smiled at her: "Sister Bing, don't worry, it'll be fine, I'll walk in the front to find the place where the organ is arranged." ”

"But ......"

"It doesn't matter." Yu Yue said, "Just keep Mr. Yuwen and I by her side." Walk among the disciples, and they will protect you. ”

Bing Qingjie saw Yu Yue speak, and nodded gently: "Then you have to be careful at all times." ”

Soon after the group walked inside, they began to see corpses appearing on the side of the road, either dry bones or rotting corpses, dressed in all kinds of clothes, among which there were also many Guyan followers, who had more or less sharp weapons that had been hit by the trap.

I don't know which disciple said, "It seems that many of the mechanisms have been opened by the people who came from the front, so we shouldn't worry too much." ”

"It should not be taken lightly." Jiang Zhengxin said, "The ones we encounter now are just very ordinary organs, and they are only blocked by people with low martial arts and little understanding of organs. ”

Hearing Jiang Zhengxin say this, the disciples nodded one after another, and they were more careful to watch out for the situation around them.

Although he was still calm on the surface, Jiang Zhengxin was already faintly uneasy when he saw these organs.

There are not many organs here, but many people have been killed, which shows that the lethality of these organs is by no means ordinary, and the places where each mechanism is arranged are extremely secretive, and it is difficult for people to detect. If she is asked to come to cloth, she can't find a more suitable place, no wonder the people of the Gu Yan Sect are helpless.

But for some reason, the method of arranging the mechanism is somewhat familiar......

They walked for a while, and the mechanism maze they encountered was not too difficult for Jiang Zhengxin, and after pointing out the methods of cracking the mechanism and the formation with the group, they led everyone to the underground palace safely.

But when they stepped into the palace gate, the blue light above the ancient city was magnificent, and more than a dozen bronze armor warriors guarding the city gate opened their eyes at the same time and strode towards them.

Wei Yue blocked in front of Jiang Zhengxin for the first time, and then looked at Bing Qingjie with her afterglow, and saw that she had drawn her saber and had a cold string disciple by her side before she was relieved.

When the bronze-armored warriors saw an outsider intruding, they immediately attacked.

They were tall, at least two adult men, and their weapons were so heavy that they would be killed or injured if they were hit.

Fortunately, the disciples of Cold String were all extraordinary, and they were agile enough to dodge attacks, and at the same time, they popped out the silver strings on their wrists to wrap around the weapons of the bronze warriors, and then swung their swords to attack their key parts.

However, the armor on the bodies of these bronze warriors was too thick to be pierced by a sword, so even the disciples were inferior no matter how good their skills were.

Wei Yue was about to use the cold string technique to hit the bronze armored warrior, Jiang Zhengxin hurriedly reminded him: "There are organs under the chest and neck, and hitting these two places is the most effective." ”

Wei Yue did as he said, and with a wave of his hand, the powerful internal force was better than the arrow that left the string, directly piercing the thick copper armor on the bronze armor warrior's body, and shattered the built-in mechanism in an instant.

Seeing the bronze armor warrior staggering back a few steps and falling to the ground, Jiang Zhengxin said happily: "Great! ”
