Chapter 194: The Phantom

We returned the same way, walked around for a long time, and found the dusty gluttonous ornament in many places, Ling Zhihan heard the footsteps coming from the fork in the road, and actually met the general and them in the labyrinth.

"Zhuo Mingfeng has a problem!" As soon as he saw Tian Ji, he said anxiously.

They also found unusual gluttonous ornaments on the rock wall, and the general's voice was calm: "South Zhuo and North Ling, both families are proficient in metaphysics, but the Zhuo family has robbed tombs for generations, and all the tombs stolen are on the dragon vein, Zhuo Mingfeng said that the Vientiane Divine Palace is built on the dragon vein, could it be that the ancestors of the Zhuo family have been here?" ”

"It is estimated that there is such a possibility, at least now it is certain that hundreds of years ago, there was a person wearing a wrench with a gluttonous pattern that appeared here, and now this wrench is in Zhuo Mingfeng's hand." Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said. "At the same time, Zhuo Mingfeng even knows and is more eager to find the Vientiane Divine Palace than we do."

"The people of the Zhuo family have always known that the Vientiane Divine Palace hides three unknown dragon veins, and judging from Zhuo Mingfeng's reaction, he doesn't seem to know the whereabouts of these three dragon veins, which is why he is willing to cooperate with us." The palace lord frowned and looked cold. "If his ancestors had been here a long time ago, then it wouldn't make sense."

"Think about it, from the time we went to see Zhuo Mingfeng and said that we were looking for the Vientiane Divine Palace, to now that we are going deep into this place, along the way, have you seen Zhuo Mingfeng urgent?" I looked down and thought for a long time, and walked back and forth in place for a few steps. "He's so calm, it's like he's in control......"

"Think about it." Ling Zhihan said softly. "Zhuo Ye is proud of his talents, but he does have this capital, but the secret of the Vientiane Divine Palace has been passed down by the Ling family for thousands of years, and no one can crack it, even if the art of metaphysics reaches its peak again, it is impossible to understand the secrets of the Vientiane Divine Palace more than the Ling family."

"You say that, I still remember one more thing." The general said as he pondered. "At that time, when I took you to Lishan to ask Zhuo Mingfeng for help, when Chao Ge took out the push back picture, Zhuo Mingfeng said Vientiane Divine Palace in one mouth, and he was subconsciously touching his own wrench at that time."

Hearing the general say this, I also think about it, but I didn't pay too much attention to it before, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed quite strange, even if Zhuo Mingfeng's mystic art is unfathomable, that push back picture hides the secret of the whereabouts of the Vientiane Divine Palace, this matter is not even known to the descendants of the Ling family, but how does Zhuo Mingfeng know?

A person's inadvertent actions often represent the truest thoughts in his heart, when Zhuo Mingfeng saw the push back picture, his first reaction was to touch him wearing a wrench, that is to say, Zhuo Mingfeng knew from beginning to end that this wrench had some kind of relationship with the Vientiane Divine Palace.

"He can see at a glance the mystery in the Tui Bei diagram, it is a secret that the Ling family has not been able to comprehend for many generations, either Zhuo Mingfeng is really unbeatable in the occult arts, or ......" The palace lord paused for a moment and looked at us. Or, Zhuo Mingfeng is just playing tricks, and he may have known the mystery of pushing the back picture from the beginning. ”

Thinking about it carefully, Gong Jue's speculation is not unreasonable, since he saw Zhuo Mingfeng, any clue was the first to be discovered and cracked, it was he who fingerprinted us to go to Tianshui Maiji Mountain, and mentioned the clues in Ling Zhihan's discovery of the back map, and finally succeeded in finding the picture scroll where Ling Xuan was hiding.

Followed by the murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and Zhuo Mingfeng only glanced at the bronze mirror, and then went to the Yumen Pass first.

In particular, he took us to find the oasis in the desert, once again proving that Zhuo Mingfeng had gone deep into the desert, and he himself was blunt, and even finally we finally opened the Vientiane Shrine, it can be said that we can stand here now, Zhuo Mingfeng has made great contributions, without him it is estimated that we will not be able to find this place in our lifetime.

My mind became more and more confused, rubbing my head back and forth, trying to calm myself down, my pace gradually slowed down, if I say, this Vientiane Divine Palace, Ling Xuan is not left to the descendants of the Ling family, but to a person who can decipher the clues she left, and who can find the map in the stone chamber unlike ordinary people, even if he arrives at the Vientiane Divine Palace, he can distinguish the mechanism and will not make mistakes.

There are only two people who are eligible in the Vientiane Shrine now.

Gong Jue and Zhuo Mingfeng!

"What does it have to do with me, I have a problem with my eyes at best, so I can see those things that you can't see, but what can I do, that push back picture is placed in front of me, and you think I have the ability to decipher it?" Gong Jue shook his head and said.

"Then only Zhuo Mingfeng is left, is it ......" Tian Ji opened his mouth and looked surprised. Could it be that Ling Xuan's construction of the Vientiane Divine Palace was left to the descendants of the Zhuo family? ”

"How is it possible, Ling Xuan can build such a huge palace complex without hiding from the sky and the sea, you really think that Ling Xuan is a pig's brain like you." Gong Jue glanced at Tian Ji and said angrily. "Ling Xuan really wants to leave the secrets of the Vientiane Divine Palace to the people of the Zhuo family, why don't you just say it, why do you need to go around and transfer it to the descendants of the Ling family."

"This has nothing to do with who the Vientiane Divine Palace is left to, at least now we don't have to dig into it, the most critical issue now is that Zhuo Mingfeng is very likely to know the specific location of the Vientiane Divine Palace from the beginning, and ...... "I hesitated and finally said it." And he may have been here before, which is why Zhuo Mingfeng was calm along the way, a person who knows all the processes and results, he is of course calm. ”

"Impossible, when the shopkeeper and I asked Zhuo Mingfeng for help, he was only a little over ten years old, and this place was closed for at least a few hundred years, and the last time someone entered it was back in the Ming Dynasty, and no one has set foot in it since." The general cut the nail and the nail and denied my idea. "You assume he's been here, it's absolutely impossible."

"The gluttonous ornament on the rock wall shows that at least hundreds of years ago, there was a person wearing Zhuo Mingfeng's current wrench who came here, this person may be Zhuo Mingfeng's ancestor, and at that time, only Dongchang Fanzi and the mysterious lord appeared, even if Zhuo Mingfeng didn't come, he must know all the details about the Vientiane Shrine." I say.

"This inference is still possible, Ling Wuchen was captured by Dongchang, and tortured to extract a confession, and finally revealed the clues of the Vientiane Divine Palace, this is the matter of Lu Qiao leading more than 100 elites of Dongchang to go deep into Mobei, we have seen the corpse of Dongchang Fanzi in the stone room outside Yumen Pass, you know, if you don't decipher the clues left by Ling Xuan, it is impossible to find that place." Tian Ji said thoughtfully. "And Zhuo Mingfeng's ancestor is very likely to be among these more than 100 people, perhaps this is the reason why the Zhuo family knows the secret of the Vientiane Divine Palace."

"Lu Qiao recorded very clearly in the document that more than 100 people entered the Vientiane Divine Palace, and in the end, except for the lord, no one survived, if according to your thoughts, Zhuo Mingfeng's ancestors were among the more than 100 people, then how did all the details about the Vientiane Divine Palace come out?" Ling Zhi asked coldly and quietly.

"Lord!" I frowned and looked up and whispered. "Lu Qiao has never entered the Vientiane Divine Palace, and the only one who knows everything is the lord, is it ...... Does this lord have a relationship with the Zhuo family? ”

"Don't forget, we've all met that lord." The palace lord looked at me suspiciously. "The person in the portrait is exactly the same as you, so far we haven't been able to figure out what's going on, or to think differently, will there be any connection between you and Zhuo Mingfeng?"

"Stop, don't mention that portrait to me, I panic when I think about it, when I saw that painting in Lu Qiao's tomb, I felt like I was looking at my own posthumous portrait." I shook my hand and smiled bitterly. "I'm the same as you, I met Zhuo Mingfeng at the same time, he is a master of metaphysics who has reached the pinnacle, if my father hadn't died, I would be a child in the mountains of western Sichuan now, I can't fight Zhuo Mingfeng's eight poles, how can it have a relationship."

"But from the surface of all the signs, it seems that Zhuo Ye really should know everything in the Vientiane Divine Palace, he said that he came with us to find the hidden dragon vein, since he already knew about this place, why did he tell us?" Ling Zhihan was puzzled.

"Zhuo Mingfeng must have other purposes, it's not that he cooperated with us to find this place at all, but Zhuo Mingfeng did everything possible to remind and hint and deliberately lead us here." Ye Zhiqiu said seriously. "This person has too many secrets hidden in him, and I must ask him clearly when I see him later, the Vientiane Divine Palace is very dangerous, and there is a person with unclear intentions around him, I am afraid that it will be a disaster sooner or later."

Noisy footsteps came from the fork in the road, interrupting our conversation, and after a long circle in the labyrinth, Bai Jin and his people also joined us, and from Bai Jin's expression, it was clear that they had not found a way out either.

The most taboo thing about being in the maze is to fall deeper and deeper, but fortunately, we have left a mark, and we can return the same way, and once again retreat to the place where we started, planning to think of other ways in the long run.

"Where's Zhuo Mingfeng?" I looked around, and everyone was there, but there was no sign of him.

"He wants to be able to do it alone, I guess he is trapped inside, who can blame him." Bai Jin said.

Extrapolating from the time, we entered the cave for about a day, and the stone gate that was bitten by the black gold corpse armor should almost be broken, leaving us with little time left, but now only Zhuo Mingfeng can solve all the doubts and mysteries, so helpless, we can only close our eyes and rest in place.

Even if he was trapped in the labyrinth alone, there was a mark we left, how could someone as smart as Zhuo Mingfeng be able to return here, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Zhuo Mingfeng come out.

"That's probably a lot of bad luck, we found a lot of traps in the maze, and if we're not careful, we'll be killed on the spot, it seems that Zhuo Mingfeng won't be able to get out." Bai Jin sighed heavily and said. "We can't wait any longer, it's been a long time, and the monsters behind should catch up."

"Zhuo Mingfeng is calm, but it doesn't mean that this person is not afraid of death, of course he knows that there are traps in the labyrinth, but he is still a maverick and does not want to be with us, he hasn't come back yet......" Gong Jue slowly stood up from the ground. He may have died in a trap in the labyrinth, but there is also a possibility. ”

"What is possible?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"If he didn't come back, it means that Zhuo Mingfeng has found a way out." I stood up and said.

"Yes, let's think differently, why did Zhuo Mingfeng choose a person to risk his life, because he knows how to leave here!" The palace lord looked at me, and he thought the same.

If my previous thoughts were correct, Zhuo Mingfeng knew everything in the Vientiane Shrine well, and this cave was not a dilemma for him at all, it was not that he was trapped in the labyrinth, but that he left us in the labyrinth and escaped alone.

But there are still a lot of questions that I can't figure out, if Zhuo Mingfeng is trying to calculate us, why did he wait until now, and go to great lengths to bring us here, is it just to trap us in the cave?

This is completely illogical, Zhuo Mingfeng really wants to murder us, it is estimated that we don't know how many times we have died along the way, not to mention that the most incomprehensible thing is that from the air-dried marks on the rock wall, more than 100 elites of Dongchang who had been here hundreds of years ago relied on the method of leaving a mark to leave here.

And this is also the method that Zhuo Mingfeng told us, he was clearly guiding us out, it can be seen that Zhuo Mingfeng hoped that we could leave the cave, but why did he leave us and leave first?
