Volume 4 Trial Horror Chapter 53 The First Clues
There is more sound leakage, and there are many shadows. The candles in the imperial city were extinguished one after another. The cornices turned, and the carved beams and jade gradually fell into a deep darkness.
Zhou Qi followed closely behind the guards who escorted Zuo Mingtang. According to the tactical computer, I thought it was the direction of leaving the palace, but after turning a garden, the route suddenly turned straight. It's getting farther and farther away from the entrance of the Imperial City!
Looking at the surrounding buildings, the more luxurious and exquisite, even the stone steps are full of patterns of two dragons playing with pearls. Judging by the little historical knowledge he knows in reality, this is by no means ordinary! Could it be that it leads to the inner courtyard of the deep palace?
The more Zhou Qi moved forward, the more suspicious he became. Since the team turned around, Zuo Mingtang began to struggle all the way. The chains that bind him to his body were shaken and clanged. He kept making "hmm" sounds from his mouth, apparently stuffed into the hemp pit. Don't be silent.
Finally, after entering a large hall, the procession stopped.
Zhou Qi took advantage of the fire from the palace lamp in the guard's hand to take a look at the surrounding environment.
I saw that in this hall, there are six pillars embraced by several people at both ends, and the pillars are carved with golden dragons from top to bottom. In the firelight, it looked like a living thing, and it was about to break through the pillar. Directly in front of it, on a golden pedestal about two meters high, sits a throne with nine dragon carvings. Showing nobility and dignity. This is the Golden Luang Palace!?
After the guards pushed Zuo Mingtang to the ground, they withdrew from the main hall and closed the hall door. Immediately the hall fell into darkness.
Zhou Qi's heart moved, hidden behind a coiling dragon pillar, and his eyes were fixed on Zuo Mingtang's location. The scene in front of me is strange and unusual.
At this moment, the 6 gold bricks in the middle of the main hall (the floor tiles of the Jinluan Palace, not the real gold bricks) suddenly sank into the ground. Reveal a passage large enough for more than a dozen people to walk in parallel. In the sound of rustling footsteps, two people walked out of the passage.
There was a faint glow of fire in the passage. Burning with a candle. Through the flickering firelight, Zhou Qi clearly saw that the two of them were wearing black robes. They all wore a pale mask on their faces.
The moment the two of them appeared, the mark on his right arm suddenly heated up! It's starting to get scorching. Zhou Qi suppressed the surprise in his heart and kept himself calm. Before and after contact, he had some guesses in his heart in an instant!
At this time, I saw one of them pick up Zuo Mingtang with his hand and clamp it under his armpit. After cautiously glancing around the main hall, he turned around and walked into the passage.
Zhou Qi hurriedly held his breath and quietly followed.
They carefully followed the two of them all the way, and walked along the narrow passage for about 10 minutes. Zhou Qi frowned, he smelled a faint smell of blood in the air!
At this moment, a wall appeared in front of him, and the passage seemed to have come to an end. Two black-robed men stopped in front of the wall. One of them pressed his hand lightly on the wall. A creaking sound sounded. The 10-meter-wide wall slowly slides from the center to the sides.
As the exposed slits in the wall opened wider and wider, a sickening smell of blood hit my face!
Wait until the walls are completely submerged on either side of the passage! With the light of fire coming from inside, in Zhou Qi's field of vision, a blood pool about the size of two basketball courts appeared! Crimson blood was like a boiling pot, tumbling up and down in the pool. In the blood, countless broken corpses can occasionally be seen floating and sinking.
The two black-robed men carried the struggling Zuo Mingtang into the secret room where the blood pool was located. There was a creaking sound, and the walls slowly slid out from the sides of the passage, and it was about to close. Zhou Qiqiang endured nausea and discomfort. I touched the wall before it closed.
The black-robed man led Zuo Mingtang along the open space on the right hand side of the blood pool, walked to a row of stone chambers that were like prisons, separated by iron bars, reached out to open one of them, and threw him in. Turning to the edge of the blood pool, Qi Qi knelt on the ground and bowed to the blood pool.
Zhou Qi shrank and stood in a corner. His gaze swept around his surroundings. This is located in the secret room of His Royal Highness Jin Luan, and around the blood pool, in addition to the passage when he came, there are hundreds of cells densely distributed. Each cell, depending on the size of the cell, can hold at least 20 people.
A strange pool of blood, a mysterious black-robed man, a dungeon located in the palace! If it weren't for what he saw with his own eyes, he wouldn't dare to imagine it at all.
At this moment, the blood pool in front of him, the tumbling blood waves were like boiling water in a teapot, and the bubbling bubbles kept bubbling. From the middle of the pool of blood, a person slowly rose. After the body exposed half of the pool of blood, it stopped rising, and the figure froze in midair. He was completely covered in viscous blood. It can only be seen from the silhouette that it is a man.
"Knock to my lord!" Two black-robed men paid homage in unison.
"How's it going?" The man in the pool of blood asked slowly. The voice is thick and serious. With the majesty of a superior person.
"There are candidates for my lord, the heart of innocence, the heart of benevolence, and the heart of loyalty and bravery, but the heart of honesty has not been found since the revenge of the heavens escaped."
"Oh! The heart of the child actually found a candidate. Bring it on and let me see it! ”
Zhou Qiqiang suppressed the surprise in his heart, this person in the pool actually called himself me! There is only one person in the world who can call himself that! That is His Majesty the Emperor of the Dynasty!
"Obey my lord's command!" One of them, a black-robed man, bowed back, strode to a cell, opened the cell door, and brought out a man.
In the bright and extinguishing firelight, after Zhou Qi saw his appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised!
Ning Caichen! It's this nerd! How did he get caught here!
At this moment, the blood-stained faces of the people in the pool of blood suddenly opened their eyes! In a pair of scarlet eyes, his gaze was like cold lightning towards Zhou Qi's location!
"Not good!" Zhou Qi's scalp was numb for a while, but he didn't expect that he would notice it by him just by a few points faster in his heartbeat under a momentary gaffe! He hurriedly communicated with the Xuanwu seal he was wearing. Completely cover your own breath.
From the time when the person in this blood pool first rose, the first time he saw him, Zhou Qi had a feeling of extreme danger in his heart. It's okay to be normal, but since you find out that Ning Caichen has been caught here, you should not act rashly for the time being.
"Huh? Odd! Could it be that there is a deviation in my induction? The man in the blood pool looked intently at the corner where Zhou Qi was hiding for a long time, and then swept the surroundings with his gaze. Seeing that everything was fine, he withdrew his gaze suspiciously.
When Ning Caichen was treated, his blood-stained face showed a hideous look of ecstasy.
"It's really a person with a pure heart! In this way, the day when I am done is not far away! His scarlet eyes seemed to be staring at the best delicacy, and he kept looking at Ning Caichen greedily. He said in surprise.
Ning Caichen's whole body was trapped by iron chains, and his mouth was like Zuo Mingtang, which was stuffed into the hemp core, and he couldn't speak. Looked at by this bloody, terrifying-looking person, his face was full of horror. Especially when I saw the pool of blood boiling like a boiling pot in front of me, I made two "hmm" sounds in my mouth, and I was only so frightened that my body was unstable and I was paralyzed to the ground.
The man in the pool of blood seemed to be quite satisfied with his reaction. Waved for the black-robed man to send him to his cell.
"You two must keep a close watch over this place. In addition, the forbidden army was sent to quickly search for Fu Tianqiu's traces. Don't miss my important thing! With that, his body slowly sank and sank into the pool of blood again.
The two black-robed men fell to the ground and claimed to be. After kneeling down for a long time, he got up. Opened the mechanism on the wall and walked out.
Zhou Qi waited in place for a while, and after seeing that there was no movement around him, he moved his footsteps, released the state of turtle breath, and cautiously walked to the cell where Ning Caichen was held.
According to what Fu Tianqiu said, the emperor sent many young and strong people into the palace, but they only saw them entering but not leaving. Before, he had always thought that it was the Pudu Demon Monk, and he used it on the Ten Thousand Wishes Sky Lantern to help him achieve the evil Buddha.
It turned out that the emperor himself did it! Seeing the endless pool of blood in front of you, you can imagine the fate of these people.
Without further ado, the top priority now is to rescue Ning Caichen!
