Chapter 396: Shadow Temple

"Stop, this is it, don't go any further. ”

"Is this it?" Tianyou and his group of five people, plus two strangers dressed in night clothes, appeared in the quarantine area outside the Song Guotai Temple.

The Song temple had its own courtyard wall and its labyrinth guard, but outside the courtyard wall, it used the same idea as Zhao Guo, that is, to set up a wide square area to ensure that intruders could not hide their figures.

Now God bless them in this square area, and around the square are no less than 3,000 elite Song army elites, and there are several other courtyards scattered within a radius of 1,000 steps, among which there are 200 monks scattered there. As soon as there is an alarm here, the monks in these courtyards will immediately come to their aid. It can be said that under normal circumstances, it is impossible for people to touch it.

However, there are normal situations and of course abnormal situations.

Wang Wu took Tianyou and the five of them to change the clothes of the guards, and the two wolf soldiers and Zhao Lingyun did not follow, but were responsible for receiving the gold bricks received by Mock Wind in that house. In this way, they followed Wang Wu into the palace gate, and then connected with a small group of guards.

At first, Tianyou was still worried, but after meeting, he found that this group of more than a dozen guards was actually all meticulous. To be honest, Tianyou really didn't expect Qin Guo's number of studies to be so large before.

At the edge of the square on the periphery of the Taimiao, next to the outer buildings, three thousand Song soldiers sat on the ground, forming a wall of people, and under normal circumstances, even if they learned the stealth technique, they would not want to pass through it, because the stealth technique could not hide the footsteps. And after stealth, people don't actually disappear, they just can't see it, and the wind and even the smell on their bodies when they walk will reveal their whereabouts. Moreover, the edge of the square has now formed a human wall, and if you want to pass through the gap between these soldiers sitting on the ground, you will almost certainly be discovered by the people who are close to each other. Therefore, in the eyes of normal people, this is simply a line of defense that cannot be broken through. At least you can't touch it quietly.

Of course, God bless them, they can't pass through this human wall silently, but with that group of soldiers, it's different.

Twelve ordinary soldiers and a squad commander, this happens to be a patrol. The commander walked alone to lead the way, and the twelve patrolling soldiers followed closely behind him in two columns, and God bless them were sandwiched between the two columns. Hu Qingxuan's illusion made them completely invisible, and no one could see them, as for the slight footsteps and the breeze brought by walking...... There is a cover for movement created by soldiers on both sides, and no one wants to find out the clues.

Of course, illusion can't protect them all the time, because there is a special magic circle for reverse osmosis on the square to destroy all illusions, which is almost the standard configuration of Taimiao in various countries. All the servants could do was to carry them through the wall of soldiers, and then they would have to break away from the middle of the line, because the patrolling guards would walk all the way to the middle of the circular square that was about the same distance from the inner and outer ring walls, and then patrol the circular route for a while, and finally exit the square from here.

Their patrol route was almost completely covered by the anti-osmosis circle, so God forbid them couldn't go deep with these people, so they could only stop after just passing through the human wall outside, and let the group of small workers who escorted them move forward.

Now the Tianyou no one who stopped outside the critical range of the reverse osmosis array was followed by two black-clothed people, one of whom was Wang Wu. He didn't worry about Tianyou and them coming by themselves, so he also came in and was responsible for coordinating Tianyou's contact with other details. The other one had just joined their team in the palace. This man is supposed to have been lurking in the palace all along, and his task is to lead them through the outer square area and the inner labyrinth. Don't look at the empty surface of this square, in fact, except for the circular route taken by the patrol, the other locations are almost full of all kinds of spell traps, which can be said to be a fairy version of the minefield.

Tianyou was not afraid of this minefield, because under his spiritual vision, these minefields that relied on the power of the magic circle were almost like square lights buried under the ground, and it was difficult not to pay attention. It's just that his ability is not easy to explain, so he is also happy to have someone lead the way to help save a lot of trouble.

The man who led the way stopped the crowd and then lowered his voice and said again, "Say it again." After a while, our inner circle will deliberately touch the driving array disk of the magic circle and shut down the magic circle, and then he will put the array disk back again, and the interval in between is only about enough for you to silence a few dozen or so. Therefore, when the formation stops, you must run with me, you must run fast, and you must step on my footsteps, and you must not make a mistake. The array disk is only driven by the magic circle that cancels the stealth spell and all kinds of illusions, and those traps that will hurt people have their own spirit stones, so they are not affected by the fall of the array disk. If you step on the wrong place and step on the trap, then none of us will be able to escape, and we will all die here. Remember, remember. ”

"Understood. "Understood" "......"

Everyone agreed, and the man turned his head cautiously, and then slowly poked a thin stalk of grass forward. As the grass stalk gradually pushed forward, suddenly its front end appeared in the square. In their opinion, the grass stalk that was originally a little translucent suddenly became a physical feeling, and this is the manifestation.

However, although there was a dense circle of soldiers behind them, and the group of soldiers were all sitting in front and back, there were at least hundreds of pairs of eyes to see the place. But in the dark of night, even if there was a huge brazier around it, the small stalk of grass that suddenly appeared was too small to attract anyone's attention.

God bless them all know that this grass stem is a signal, and now it has been spelled, and the reason why it appears is all because the countervailing circle has worked. And once the circle is extinguished, the grass stalks will disappear immediately, and that is the signal for God to bless them to sprint.

The current world 100-meter dash record on Earth is 9.58 seconds, which means that the average 10.438 meters can be run in one second. God bless them, where they are now, is about 150 steps away from the Taimiao wall on the inside of the square, which is converted to 180 meters. Wang Wu said that the interval between the extinguishing of the formation was only enough for dozens of numbers, which was about equal to about 10 seconds. To complete a 180-meter sprint in these 10 seconds, the average speed must reach 18 meters per second, which is 8 meters per second faster than the sprint record on Earth. Moreover, this is not a straight acceleration run, but an obstacle course. Because there are still dense spell traps on the ground, it doesn't mean that 180 meters out of 10 seconds is over. If you step on one wrong point, they'll have to play it all.

This is basically an impossible task on the earth, but not necessarily here, because there is a local specialty called "Shenxing Fu" on the Shenzhou Continent.

"Ready. ”

Everyone took out the amulets and put them on their laps. This thing works for a long time, so you don't have to pinch the dots to stick it.

Everyone prepared to sprint, and then, after everyone had waited for a few breaths, the part of the grass stalk in front of them suddenly entered a state of illusion.

There was no reminder, and the surroundings did not allow them to communicate much. Wang Wu started in an instant, and jumped out seven or eight steps away in the blink of an eye, and the huge sea followed closely behind, almost running close to Wang Wu, and then everyone lined up in a row, one after the other, not only the speed was fast, but even the footsteps were completely the same. If it weren't for the foundation of cultivation, it would be impossible for ordinary people to do this kind of thing.

The fast-moving team swept towards the wall of the Taimiao Temple like the wind, but in the center of the formation eight hundred paces away, there were angry shouts in the center.

"Bastard boy, what are you doing?"

A little eunuch with clear eyebrows hurriedly got up from the ground, hurriedly cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces into the tray, and kept apologizing in his mouth. The old man who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating flew up directly from his seat, and landed beside the little eunuch with a vertical leap, and kicked the little eunuch to the wall with a kick, and when he rolled down, he was already out of breath, but his eyes were still looking at the direction of the temple, as if he was looking forward to something.

That's right, this little eunuch knew that he was going to die here, but he still came. In order to make others no longer be fatherless and motherless like him, he watched his sister be injured and die by the Song monk Pegasus in the national sports mission. Without his relatives, he has nothing to look forward to in this life, but he hopes that others will not be as miserable as him. So when someone told him that he could come to the Song State to serve as a member of the Qin State, he agreed without thinking about it.

Tonight, when the connector told him the content of the mission, he still came knowing that nine out of ten would die here. Although he is only a twelve-year-old child, and although he is no longer a man, he is actually more manly than many of the five big and three rough people.

In the middle of the night, the death of a little eunuch did not alarm anyone. Tianyou and his entourage, who were running with all their might, didn't know what price their actions were achieved, but in the room where the array eye was, the old man was kneeling on the ground and wandering around regardless of his image, and finally found the round bead under the cabinet next to the wall, hurriedly crawled over and reached out and took it out and hurriedly embedded it back into the groove of the array eye on the wall.

As the beads the size of the dragon's eye entered the formation eye, the originally dim array array on the wall immediately lit up with a bright blue spiritual light, illuminating the old man's wrinkled old face with a ghostly atmosphere.

Looking back at the little eunuch on the ground, he was already out of breath. I reached out and tried my pulse, and sure enough, I was dead. was a little entangled, but the old man's eyes quickly returned to clarity, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "Hmph, it's more than innocent to die." After finishing it, he walked out of the room, said to the two disciples guarding the door, and then went to the guard on the side of the square to inquire about the situation, and after learning that there was no abnormal movement, he still went to the wall of the temple courtyard in person to take a turn, and then returned to his room to continue to monitor the state of the array.

However, not long after the old man left, only a wall away from him, several people finally let go of their control and began to breathe.

Even if you are a monk and have the blessing of the Divine Talisman, this 180-meter sprint also needs to take a breath. However, God bless them, as soon as they arrived within the courtyard walls, they found that there was a secret outpost in this place that was not in the intelligence. A group of people had to activate the illusion again in order to slip under the noses of those few dark whistles. However, while illusions work here, they can't hide sounds and smells. Fortunately, the man was lazy and was leaning against the wall and dozing off, so several people had to hold their breath, lightly walked around the person, and walked for a long time before daring to let go of their breath a little.

Originally, when I needed to take a big breath after running that section of the sprint, I actually held my breath in turn, which made a group of people feel like their lungs were about to explode. Fortunately, there was finally a thrilling come.

In fact, this labyrinth is also dangerous and abnormal, and there are hidden passages everywhere. However, at this point, it is no longer an obstacle. First, God blessed them with a guide, and secondly, they were also stained with the light of the previous group of Qin monks. The group of people had stormed in, and most of the labyrinth had been destroyed. However, now that it was a time of chaos, the Song court did not even dare to let the army enter the area of the Taimiao, where could the people be allowed to enter? After all, this was just three days ago, and with the efficiency of the Shenzhou Continent, even if Song Ting wanted to clean it up, it wouldn't be so fast.

Most of the mechanisms are missing, and there are holes in the walls in many places, so the guide simply leads them straight to the inside. However, they went smoothly because of the guide, and if there was no guide to point out the location of the traps in advance, the remaining traps would be enough for them to lose their troops. This is also the reason why Song Ting arranged the army outside, but did not leave anyone inside.

God bless them as they weave their way through the rubble and corpses, occasionally taking care to avoid some unlucky people who are dying horribly. The last time the Qin monks invaded and now is indeed not long, the Song State has no time to clean up these corpses for a while, and now the defense around the Taimiao is in chaos, and even the soldiers are not allowed to enter the walls of the Taimiao, let alone the people?

In addition to the generals and monks from their own countries that the soldiers took away after the last battle, there were at least seven or eight hundred corpses of Song and Qin monks. Of course, it was mainly the Song army, and no matter how heavy the casualties of the monks were, it was impossible for them to have seven or eight hundred people. If you really want to die so much in one go, King Qin can't split the commander.

Bypassing the corpses on the ground, God blessed them quickly through the labyrinth and came to the front of the Song Guotai Temple. Sure enough, although the buildings and structures on the periphery are very different, the layout of the temple itself is the same, at most the color of some structures is slightly different from the decoration of the corners.

"The sea, the tiger girl, go up to the roof and check it. ”

Da Dahai nodded, came to the edge of the Taimiao and stepped on the pillar a few times before climbing to the roof. The tiger girl answered even more simply, and jumped up in one step. "Fifth brother, excuse me......" After explaining the huge sea of them, Tianyou turned to Wang Wu to assign him a task, who knew that before the words were finished, he heard the sound of tiles breaking on the roof of the Taimiao, and then saw that the tiger girl who had jumped on the roof disappeared on the roof.

"it!"

Tianyou originally planned to let the huge sea and the tiger girl be on guard on the roof, arrange Wang Wu outside, let the guide check the maze, and take the rest of the people to search the inside of the temple. After all, although there was a battle here not long ago, the affairs of Zhao State before were still vivid, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Taimiao of the Song State would not leave a secret stake like Zhao State.

But now it seems that the rest of the plan is gone. Who would have thought that the tiger girl would actually step on the roof and fall into the temple? Although the guards outside the labyrinth could not hear such a big movement, it was impossible for the people inside the temple to hear it. So now they don't have to search to see if there are still hidden piles, if there is, they must have found out.

Since this is already the case, Tianyou no longer arranged for everyone to check separately, and only took people to rush into the temple. The tiger girl was getting up from the ground, and when she saw a group of people rushing in, she scratched her head awkwardly, "I didn't expect that there was a beam on it that was broken, and I couldn't bear it at all, I just stepped on it and fell off!"

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, it should be that it was damaged in the previous battle and didn't repair it in time. Tianyou said while observing around, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find the expected dark pile, thinking that there was really no one left here.

Looking up, the huge sea was probing his brain by the top of the hole, and Tianyou simply stopped him and asked, "Is there a situation around?"

"No, not even a ghost. Song Ting really withdrew everyone. ”

Tianyou nodded, didn't bother with the problem of the hidden pile, and took someone to wipe the second floor of the temple with a hello.

The gold bricks will not be placed directly in the hall on the first floor, according to the similar pattern of the Taimiao Temples of various countries, God bless them think that the Taimiao of the Song Kingdom should also hide the gold bricks on the second floor. However, when they climbed up, they found that the tower on the second floor was empty, not to mention the gold bricks, and there was not even a piece of furniture. Except for the slabs and floors that stretched upwards, it was a completely empty tower.

"What the hell, what about the gold bricks?" Tianyou, who had already climbed to the top of the tower, was really stunned.

"Impossible!" Wang Wu was also surprised, "We've been staring at this place! If the gold bricks are transferred, we will definitely find out." ”

"Could it be that Song Ting used some covert method to transport the gold bricks and deceived your ears and eyes?"

Tianyou helped Wang Wu reply, "Impossible. The gold bricks will not leave the Taimiao. ”

"Why?" the sea was puzzled.

"Because the core of a country's dragon vein is under the Taimiao, the Taimiao must be built on the dragon vein, and a large array of qi luck must be set up to spread the qi luck carried by the gold bricks to the whole country to benefit the people. The countries are vying for the BRICS in order to benefit the people, and if they move the BRICS out of the Taimiao in order to protect them, wouldn't they put the cart before the horse?" Wang Wu himself took over the topic and explained it to Da Hai.

Huge Hai nodded as if he didn't understand, and then frowned and asked, "But the Taimiao Temple is so big, we have all searched for it!

"No way. Song is much richer than Zhao, and there must be a lot more gold bricks than Zhao. There are more than a thousand gold bricks in the temple of Zhao Guotai? There will only be more gold bricks in the Song Kingdom, and if you want to move them all, you have to load at least dozens of carts, how can a group of monks take them all away? There must be hidden compartments, secret rooms, and other places here, and everyone will spread out to look for them. ”

As soon as Tianyou ordered, everyone immediately scattered and searched around, and Wang Wu was even more like a woodpecker, always going up to knock on a wall or wooden pillar when he encountered it. After seeing it, Dang Hai also began to learn the same, but he didn't expect that a fool would have a foolish fortune, and he really let him find the clue.

"God, come and take a look here. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Listen. The sea struck twice the ground beneath his feet, then moved to the floor tiles next to him and knocked twice more. It was clear that there was a hollow sound coming from under the floor tile where he was standing.

"There's a tunnel down there. The others also reacted, let the huge sea move away, and then lifted the floor tiles with all their hands, and sure enough, they found a sealed tunnel entrance.

Although the tunnel is sealed, God bless them are all monks, and it is not impossible to move these big stones. After a lot of effort, I managed to get down the stairs smoothly.

Before coming down, Tianyou thought that there was a secret room or something like that below, but I didn't expect to really come down and find that this place was exactly the same above, except that there was no window, this is simply a temple upside down underground. That is to say, the Song Kingdom actually built two temples, one on the other and on the other.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a big temple under the Taimiao of the Song Kingdom, it's really unheard of!" Wang Wu sighed as he looked around.

Tianyou frowned and asked, "Do you know how many gold bricks that the previous group of people took away?"

"It's 8 pieces, the most in years. Wang Wu replied proudly. Although he didn't grab the things, those people were able to bring out the gold bricks, and he also had a share of the credit. So when Tianyou asked about this topic, he naturally had a feeling of "honor".

However, before Tianyou could answer, Da Dahai asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

Wang Wuyi, who was feeling good, immediately became a little annoyed and angry when he heard this, and asked in an unkind tone: "What's wrong with 8 pieces? In previous years, the number of people who were twice as many as this was not only transported back to 11 or 2 pieces? This time, the eldest prince was able to win 8 gold bricks in one fell swoop, which was already a great victory." Why does it seem like a shame to come to you?"

Huge Haixin said: "Our No. 30 people brought back 18 yuan in one go, and your mighty 100-odd talents have 8 yuan, just enough for us to be a fraction, isn't it just a shame?" "No, no. 8 pieces is a lot, a lot. ”

Wang Wu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tianyou, "Since the eldest prince's people took away the gold bricks, they must have rushed in." Don't you think it's strange that there are so many of them, and when they leave, they only took 8 gold bricks with them?"

Wang Wu shook his head and explained: "In previous years, there were many more teams going to the Tang Kingdom than this, didn't they just bring back eleven or twelve yuan?"

Tianyou shook his head. "Not true. This is not the case in previous years. Every time they attacked, they were able to bring out dozens of gold bricks when they evacuated, and according to Bai Bingyu, the daughter of General Bai, there were cases where more than 100 gold bricks were brought out at a time. ”

"What? There are so many, so why are they shipped back to China......" Speaking of this, Wang Wu himself reacted. "But you were intercepted halfway?"

Tianyou nodded, then shook his head again. "It's not halfway, but the whole evacuation process has not stopped, and there are constantly other people's personnel joining in, and then the gold bricks continue to lose, and finally only eleven or twelve can be transported back to the Taimiao. ”

"What about the eldest prince, ...... they?"

"It should be a trick. Tianyou speculated: "Eighty percent of the Taimiao above is fake, and the group of people sent by the eldest prince probably only found 8 gold bricks, so they all shipped them out." Otherwise, the number will not be so different from previous years. Even if they have few people, if there is a problem, they should not be able to attack or something. Now that it has come in, the personnel losses are not so great, and it should not only bring out so many gold bricks. ”

Wang Wu frowned when he thought of this and asked, "That's not right." If the Taimiao above is a fake temple, then why did the Song Kingdom place gold bricks in it? Moreover, if it is fake, why did it take a lot of trouble to hunt it down?"

"Because this is the purpose of the Song State to set up fake temples. They didn't want to use the fake temple as a trap, but merely as a backhand. For example, this time they succeeded. The eldest prince's people attacked, but because they couldn't see through the secret of the real and false Taimiao, they thought they had looted the Taimiao and withdrew, but they didn't know that they picked up the sesame seeds and threw the watermelon at their feet. As for the question of the pursuit you mentioned, this one is easier to understand. The Song people didn't intend to let people rob their gold bricks, and the Taimiao above was actually not a fake temple, but a real Taimiao, but the Taimiao above was just a shield for the one below. But no matter how you say it, the gold bricks are still real gold bricks, don't say that 8 pieces were robbed, that is, there is only 1 piece, don't the Song people chase it?"

Now Wang Wu completely understood, but he would rather not understand. Although he didn't do this task, after all, he contributed and participated in it. But listening to Tianyou's explanation, he felt like he had robbed the money bank with all his might, but he left the entire bank without moving, but snatched the change bag that the shopkeeper was carrying. This Nima really has the urge to slap his ears and scrape!

"Alright, don't regret it. There are all kinds of medicine for the flesh and bones of the dead and dead in this world, but there is no medicine for regret. Instead of annoying at the previous mistakes, we should do a good job and let us get back a game. Don't forget that this is a real temple, and we won't leave with just 8 gold bricks. ”

Wang Wu felt a sense of empowerment when he heard Tianyou's words, and immediately recovered from his previous chagrin, and then quickly helped to search for this real temple. Tianyou was worried that his mood was wrong, and he also mentioned a sentence later: "You be careful, don't be excited and do bad things with good intentions." We're already in anyway, so be careful. The gold bricks will not run. ”

Not to mention, thanks to God's reminder, otherwise something would have happened. Just after Tianyou finished speaking, Wang Wu, who had already found the entrance to the lower floor, suddenly stopped, and then beckoned everyone to silence.

Although everyone didn't understand what he was doing, they still touched it lightly in the spirit of being cautious and not making a big mistake.

After everyone gathered, Wang Wu cautiously pointed underneath, and then gently lifted a cover plate at his feet a little.

Tianyou lay on the ground, leaned his face to the edge of the cover, and looked in through the small crack opened by Wang Wu. The first thing that catches your eye is that it is pitch black, and there is obviously no light underneath. First, this is underground, and lighting is not conducive to the dissipation of smoke, so it is not suitable to light for a long time. The second is also to conceal, after all, the underground environment, the darkness itself is one of the protective measures.

However, although the space below was pitch black, Tianyou did not find nothing. In other words, it's hard for anyone to ignore that thing.

In fact, Tianyou saw a few red dots, which were not very bright, but they were particularly conspicuous in the dark. When he looked closely, he found that the red dot was still moving, and at this time, his eyes finally adapted to the darkness, and with the help of good eyesight, Tianyou finally got a glimpse of the red dot.

What kind of red dot is this, it is clearly an eye made of gemstones. And those who can use gemstones as eyes can only be man-made.

"Dao soldier puppet?" Tianyou retracted his gaze and hurriedly motioned for Wang Wu to close the lid, and then sighed with palpitations.

They didn't react much to the huge sea next to them, because except for Wang Wu, Tianyou, and the guide who took them through the labyrinth, no one here knew what the Dao Soldier Puppet was. Da Da Hai has heard of it, and he has seen it twice, but all he sees are Dao puppets in a closed state, which are actually similar to terracotta warriors, so he naturally doesn't feel anything. But Tianyou knows the Dao soldier puppet, and he has also fought with this thing, plus his master Zhenyuan Shangxian is also an expert in this area, he naturally has more contact and knows more than others.

"This is a problem!"
