Chapter 387: Predicament
Gong Yi Wushuang hurried over from outside, and judging by his face, he should have known what was going on here.
"Master, Wushuang didn't take good care of the organs here, and you deserve to die." In front of Xu Fu, he kowtowed to make amends.
"Get up, don't worry about anything else yet, you immediately take someone to check the information agency and see where the problem is." Gongyi Wushuang didn't say anything more, and according to Xu Fu's instructions, he led people to find loopholes little by little.
They've been there for so long that I've forgotten what we're here for. Finally, when my stomach started growling, I finally came back with someone.
"Returning to the Master, I led someone to check the entire access of the information agency, and found that the passage connecting the secret room and the control room was cut off. Not only is it cut off, but the entire message loop is modified, and as soon as the box is moved, all the mechanisms are activated. "It seems that it was because my uncle was curious to take that box that I killed so many people.
Hearing the report of Gongyi Wushuang, Grandpa Xu Fu seemed to be much calmer, and continued to ask Gongwu Wushuang's opinion: "Wushuang, do you think this matter will be done by someone."
"It's hard to say, but I can only say that this person must be a master and familiar with the geography of this Immortal Palace. Anything else, that's really hard to say. "It seems to be the same as not saying it. However, looking at the appearance of the public loser himself, it seems that he has also been severely challenged, after all, it should be the first time that their public loser's mechanism has been cracked.
"Master Xu Fu, what should we do now, the elixir of immortality has been lost, how can we recover it." My uncle even wants to recover the elixir of immortality, but I don't think it's possible.
"I'm afraid it's a little harder to recover the elixir, but I think we should investigate how the enemy infiltrated the secret room and stole the elixir. Leave a few people here to continue the investigation, Wushuang, military advisor, little ghost, you and I come. ”
Master Xu Fu seems to have thought of something, and he doesn't want you to hear it. Hurriedly took us back to the Thousand Machine Building, and seemed to have something to say to us.
Grandpa Xu Fu took us into the depths of the Thousand Machine Building and found a very hidden room. Tell the soldiers to stand guard in a distant place, and then ask Gong Wushuang to make sure that there is really no one around, so he is willing to open the conversation to us.
"Guys, I have a secret to tell you. In fact, the box of the elixir of immortality was actually empty. The last elixir of immortality had been stolen by a man hundreds of years ago. ”
What, the elixir of immortality was stolen hundreds of years ago, how could it be. Hundreds of years ago, I remember that at that time, Our Lady also seemed to have launched a war of aggression against the world, could it be that at that time the elixir of immortality was lost.
"Grandpa Xu Fu, I remember that the Golden City Lord said that hundreds of years ago, the Holy Mother launched a war and almost destroyed the world, was it that time that the Holy Mother sent someone to steal the immortal medicine." After I asked, Grandpa Xu Fu nodded and shook his head, what does this mean.
"Grandpa Xu Fu, you've confused me, what the hell is going on."
"Well, before I explain this to you, I'm going to talk about a man you've heard of. His name was Marco. Polo. ”
Mark. Polo, I know this person, last time my uncle told me that he recorded in his travelogue that he had arrived in the Golden City. However, since Grandpa Xu Fu mentioned this person, is there a connection between this person and this immortal medicine.
"This Marco. Polo, who once came to Qincheng by coincidence hundreds of years ago, heard that he came from the Golden City at that time, so I didn't have much defense against him. And after all, it's the first time to see people with yellow hair and blue eyes, which is still very rare. ”
"There are many different races in this world, and the red-haired and green-eyed ones are already very strange. But the people with yellow hair, blue eyes, and big noses still moved us and were very curious. We started with this Marco. Polo was also defenseless, taking him around every day, and he didn't show anything unusual. It's just that I found out that he was very curious about our Thousand Machine Building, and often asked to go in and have a look, so I didn't think much about it at the time, so I went with him. ”
"At that time, the army of the Holy Mother was ready to attack Qin City at any time, and we could only rely on the reserves in the city to make a living, but fortunately, the reserves were sufficient in peacetime, and it was not a difficult thing. But this Marco. We were also puzzled that Polo had been clamoring to leave after living here for a while. But there was still war outside, and we didn't want to hurt his life, so we didn't agree to his request. ”
"But suddenly one day, we couldn't find Marco in the State Guest House. Polo's figure came to his room, only to find that he had nothing with him. At first we thought he might have been captured by the enemy, but without any signs or sounds of struggle, we began to suspect that he had escaped on his own. ”
"I suddenly remembered that he had been moving around the Thousand Machine Building, perhaps with the idea of playing the treasure inside. I immediately sent Ling Xue to search the entire treasure house, but I found that all the treasures were there, and I didn't find anything missing at all. After that we were so busy dealing with Our Lady that we didn't have time to care about someone who didn't steal anything, but just said goodbye. ”
"But after half a year, Our Lady's army has retreated, and I began to send people to the Temple of Eternal Life for daily inspections. This time I checked, but I found that the immortal medicine was missing. In order not to cause panic, I immediately blocked the news, otherwise some people would definitely make a mess. At that time, all the remaining immortal elixirs were stored in the Hall of Eternal Life, but this time we lost nothing. ”
"Later, there was no way, I asked the master of the Gongyi family at that time to immediately reform the organs of the Immortal Palace, so that they could exist independently of the message system of the Thousand Machine Building. And he made the box, and put an empty bottle in it. Under such a tight defense, everyone didn't know that the elixir of immortality had actually been stolen. ”
"But these are also helpless moves, the more tightly I arrange the mechanism, the people in the city will only think that the immortal medicine is only partially stolen. And the tight defense I did was to protect the remaining immortal medicine, so it was enough to stabilize people's hearts in this way. ”
"Only me and a few apprentices know about this matter, and the rest of the people in the city don't know about it. Now I tell you this, I hope you can understand this matter, and maybe you can find the person who came to steal the elixir of immortality. ”
If it's Marco. Polo stole the elixir of immortality, and now he may not be able to bear it, so that means that the person who came to steal the elixir of immortality this time could also be this Marco. Polo.
Thinking of this, I immediately told Grandpa Xu Fu my opinion. "Grandpa Xu Fu, you said that this one who came to steal the elixir of immortality would be this Marco again. Polo. ”
"It's possible, but I sent people out to look for him for a long time, but I didn't find any trace of him."
At this time, my uncle suddenly spoke again.
"Master Xu Fu, you know that at that time, Marco. How did Polo escape from Qincheng? ”
