Chapter 169: Friendship is as light as water
The old man didn't speak, and stepped on the steps with his hands behind his back, Lin Yun and Ruoshui followed, and the secret door behind him automatically and slowly closed.
Lin Yun has been counting the steps, every ninety-nine steps will turn a turn, Lin Yun and they turned nine turns, suddenly in front of their eyes, there is an empty palace, Lin Yun roughly estimated, this palace is ten zhang long and wide, is this the Senluo Arena? Why is it empty? And why is it so small?
The rickety old man didn't speak, and walked straight to the middle of the palace, and Lin Yun and Ruoshui also followed in confusion.
The old man walked to the middle and stood still, and Lin Yun and Ruoshui also followed him and stood still, "Please open the magic circle." ”
At this time, Lin Yun found that at the end of this palace stood an old man with fish-eyed fish-lips who looked like a fish-like and was extremely short, and even the clothes on his body were covered with fish-squid lines.
"Go to the first floor? The fish-eyed fish-lipped old man asked in a hoarse voice.
"The ninth floor, the Sen Luo Arena. The rickety old man Chu Yi said madly.
"Nine taels of amethyst, I didn't expect that the head of the Chu family is now interested in the arena?" said the fish-eyed and fish-lipped old man as he opened the magic circle.
"People are always going to become, what do you say? Chu Yifang said as he wrapped nine taels of amethyst with Jiong Li and sent it to Yu Bo.
"The more the head of the Chu family lives, the more transparent he becomes. As soon as Yu Bo finished saying this, Lin Yun felt that the entire palace was shaken, and the floor of the palace suddenly became transparent, and began to sink rapidly, and then, Lin Yun and Ruoshui's eyes lit up violently, and under their feet, they saw a huge, brightly lit underground palace.
Spectacular, incomparably spectacular, this was Lin Yun's only feeling, and he was shocked. As the circle descended, he saw that there were countless rooms and caves on the four walls of the underground palace, and there were countless sounds of "clanging" striking iron, as well as all kinds of noisy sounds.
"Stinky boy, can you take a snack, you can't beat this hammer well, Lao Tzu will need dozens of hammers to knock it back. ”
"Your uncle, you will never have a good grasp of the quenching time, and if you don't do it well, Lao Tzu will kick you out of the dungeon. ”
"Let's all work for Lao Tzu, I can't finish today's work, and no one wants to go to the Senluo Arena. ”
As the magic circle descended, Lin Yun's gaze slowly looked down, and he was even more shocked.
At his feet, there was a huge Yan River, a hundred feet wide, and the magma on the surface of the river was tumbling, stirring up lava waves several feet high from time to time. In the middle of the Yan River, there is a platform thirty zhang wide and narrow hanging in the air, there are four pillars at the four corners of the platform, and a plaque is hung between the pillars.
"Aren't you shocked?" said the rickety old man Chu Yimad a little proudly.
"Senior, this underground palace is so magnificent, there are at least tens of thousands of rooms and tens of thousands of people here, right?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.
"Boy, the eyes are very poisonous! But what you see is only on the surface, this dungeon has been lent to my Chu family and the Qin family to build weapons from the first to the eighth floor, only this ninth layer is the territory of the Senluo Arena, the real ninth layer As far as I know, it is by no means what we see, there are holes in the hole, it is extremely deep, how many people live there, what is hidden, and the old man does not know much. ”
"In the middle of the Yan River is the Senluo Arena, right?"
"Yes, there is a gladiatorial fight every three days in the Senluo Arena, and the gladiators fight to the death, and one side beats the other into the Yan River. ”
"You mean that only one person survives every game?"
"Yes. ”
"It's too late for you to regret it, but you may never see Mr. Chu Qin again. ”
"I don't regret it. Lin Yun gasped and gritted his teeth and said. He felt the air blazing hot.
This huge underground palace like a mystery was displayed in front of Lin Yun, and the Chu Qin clan was hidden in this underground palace.
When Lin Yun heard the battle between life and death, he resisted in his heart, but there was always a voice or something that could not be called a voice in his subconscious heart to guide him strongly, or it could be said that this thing was tempting him, and he seemed to be a little willing to be tempted by it.
The huge underground palace, countless blacksmiths sweat like rain here, Lin Yun finally knows why this blacksmith street can cast 300,000 high-quality weapons in a year, no matter who has such ability, the ambition will naturally continue to expand, and the ambition of Su Guo is obvious.
"Here we are. After the rickety old man Chu Yi finished speaking, he got off the magic circle first and stepped on the steps of the ninth underground floor, and Lin Yun and Ruoshui also followed.
"Thinking about the blacksmith street back then, there were only two households, the Chu family and the Qin family. Chu Yifang said as he walked.
"That was hundreds of years ago, right?" Lin Yun said.
"Yes, after hundreds of years of development, the Chu family and the Qin family have thousands of their own children, plus the foreign surnames under our respective management, each family has more than 10,000 craftsmen, we have broken into parts, division of labor and cooperation, and created a huge casting capacity. ”
While speaking, they climbed to the top of the steps, which was a huge platform the size of a hundred zhang, with many torches burning around the platform, and a tall grotto at the end.
At the entrance of the grotto, several shirtless men were guarding the entrance of the cave, and Chu Yifang arched his hand very politely and said, "Please help the Yan guards spread the word, Chu Yifang asked to see Lord Senluo." ”
"It turned out to be the head of the Chu family, you wait a minute!" a big man said, and went in to pass it on.
The rest of the big men kept looking Lin Yun and Ruoshui up and down at this time, especially looking at Ruoshui, their eyes were a little strange, and they were all thinking in their hearts, what a handsome little student!
After a while, the big Han Yan guard who was in charge of the communication came back, "Master Chu, Lord Senluo, please come in!
So, they followed Yan's guards into the grotto, and the inside and outside of the grotto seemed to be two worlds, and there was actually a cool breeze.
On the high platform at the end of the grotto, there is a tall giant man, standing next to a huge iron chair, he is already very tall, and has a piercing high crown, which looks more majestic and tall, this person is full of flesh, hideous face, from the corner of the right eye to the left side of the face, there is a conspicuous scar, which is even more daunting.
"Lord Senro, they've arrived. The big man Yan Guard said
"Yan Knee, you go down first!" said Lord Sen Luo in a loud voice.
"Yes. Yan Biao Shili withdrew.
"Chu Yimad, you can go back too!" Lord Sen Luo said again.
"My lord, those old ......," Chu Yifang said cautiously.
"Go out and find Yan Guard and take it away! I will never break my promise to you. Mori Roe said.
"Master Xie. Chu Yifang saluted respectfully and then withdrew.
"Lin Gongzi, I heard that you want to find Mr. Chu Qin?"
"Yes. ”
"You know the rules of meeting Mr. Chu Qin, right?"
"Senior Chu told me a little bit about it. ”
"Senluo Arena, nine deaths, do you know what it means?"
"Are you saying that the Senluo Arena is cruel?"
"This is just one aspect, nine deaths and one life, which means that you have fought nine gladiatorial battles and can survive. ”
"Can I see Mr. Chu Qin in nine games?"
"This is just the first step. ”
"And what about the second step?"
"Kill nine more people like you. ”
"So you can see Mr. Chu Qin?"
"I can't guarantee it, it depends on whether Mr. Chu Qin is willing to see you. ”
"What rules do you need in gladiatorial fights?"
"Gladiators entering the arena will be sealed with spiritual power and divine consciousness, and cannot use any spells, magic weapons, spells, and witchcraft, and can only rely on animal instincts to fight, of course, weapons can be chosen at will. ”
At this time, Lin Yun knew that this gladiatorial fight was really terrifying, he could only rely on his physical strength, not with the help of any cultivation power, after most cultivators were sealed with spiritual power and divine sense, they were not as good as an ordinary woodcutter, unless you were cultivating martial arts, and Lin Yun was just a martial arts master, but what a martial arts master without spiritual power was like, Lin Yun didn't know what it was like.
"Are there no other rules?" Lin Yun asked after thinking about it.
"No more. Mori Roe said.
"Is there another question below?" Lin Yun asked.
"Please. ”
"I don't understand, why did the other gladiators go to the Senluo Arena to fight?"
"Most of them are bought-across, fugitives wanted by the government, or voluntarily sold to make money, to name a few. ”
"Death row prisoners, fugitives, traitors?"
"Yes, they should have died, and this kind of war death makes it more dignified for them to die. In this underground palace, there are brothels, restaurants, taverns, and gladiatorial battles can be fun in time after winning money, and being happy is a day, and you don't feel a loss when you die. ”
"So, I'm the only one with a different purpose?"
"So to speak. ”
"Okay, okay, when are we going to start?" Lin Yun asked a little angrily, he was really a little depressed, competing with a group of death row inmates, and he even began to wonder if he was right to come to the Senluo Arena?
"I'll ask Guard Yan to arrange a place for you to live first, and arrange a gladiatorial fight for you as soon as possible. Mori Roe said.
"Okay! In this way, Lin thanked Master Senluo. Lin Yun said.
"Yan gamble, take Lin Gongzi to the East Cave No. 33 to rest!" Lord Sen Luo shouted to the outside world, and the sound shook the stone wall of the grotto, and the rubble fell down. "Lin retired!" Lin Yun arched.
"Haha~ha~ Lin Gongzi, the little brother next to you is very good! Maybe time is running out, enjoy a day is a day. Lord Senluo said with a loud laugh. Lin Yun thought, Ruoshui's disguise technique should not be able to see through it, right? Could it be that this Lord Senluo knew Ruoshui's identity?
"Lin Gongzi, please come with me. Yan gambled in and said.
"Escort Xie Yan leads the way!"
Yan Gamble took Lin Yun to the east of the thirty-three caves.
"Thank you, Guard Yan. When he arrived at the East Thirty-Three Good Cave, Lin Yun thanked him.
"The two of you are not death row inmates, it doesn't hurt to walk around, remember not to go to the Sanssouci Cave on the west side. Yan Dian said.
"Why can't you go to the Sanssouci Cave?" Lin Yun asked suspiciously.
"If you don't want to go, don't go, why do you ask so much? If you want to die, you go. Yan said angrily.
"Oh, in that case, Lin thanked Yan for the guards. Lin Yun said.
"When you meet your son, there's a gladiatorial fight, you can go and see it. Yan has taken his leave!" Yan said casually.
"Lin Mou knows, Yan guards go slowly!" Lin Yun handed over.
Yan Gambling turned around and walked out of the East Cave No. 33, muttering as he walked, "Lord Senluo doesn't know what kind of wind he smoked? ”
Lin Yun only had time to look around at the East No. 33 Cave at this time, and entered from the entrance of the cave, in addition to this lobby, there were actually five stone rooms inside, one out of Gong, one kitchen, one hot spring bathroom, and the remaining two living rooms, just Lin Yun and Ruoshui were one person.
The stone chamber has all the facilities, but it is somewhat rudimentary compared to the ground. It's hot underground, and it's a completely different world than the earth, and there's no need for bedding and padded jackets at all, so it's not hard.
Lin Yun was most surprised that there was actually a kitchen in this grotto, I really didn't know what the purpose was? Could it be that there was still firewood, rice, oil and salt to buy here?
