An Zheng didn't understand what Li Zhongming meant by that sentence at first, and followed Li Zhongming outside to stand on the terrace and look down, and only then did he feel a burst of fear in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's an indescribable feeling, but it's creepy.

Li Zhongming's home was built on a very high place, on the edge of the dungeon, and his house was on the outermost part. The soil layer of this dungeon from the ground to the top of the head can be about a few tens of meters, so you can imagine how huge the project is. The layer of earth above his head was inlaid with a large number of glowing objects, and An Zheng looked at them with his heavenly eyes and determined that they were natural gems that could absorb the light of the sun and moon before emitting them. In other words, there is a huge circle in this layer of earth, which absorbs sunlight and infuses these gems.

Li Zhongming's house is more like a cave dug out of the earthen wall at the edge, but the perimeter is made of bricks and stones. The terrace is large enough for six or seven people to stand without looking crowded. If you look down with your hand on the railing, you can see far away.

"Did you find anything?"

Li Zhongming's face was a little ugly and said: "The people here overestimate themselves, and we also overestimate them. After the family calculated, they came in from a hole in the back mountain, and no one found out at all. It's as if everyone has an invisible clockwork on their body, and someone tightens the clockwork for them every morning, and then they go about their lives. ”

He pointed to the walking people below: "They don't care what's going on outside, and they don't care what's going on around them. Every day at dawn they went where they were supposed to go, either to farm or to go to the workshop, there were merchants, farmers, craftsmen, everything, but they were not angry. Their days go on year after year, day after day, and even they are not sure if there is a world out there. ”

An Zheng's face changed: "What do you mean?"

"The higher-ups here are always brainwashing them to tell them that the world beyond the surface is basically extinct. They are the lucky ones, because their ancestors participated in the construction of the underground palace, so the Great Xi Holy Emperor gave them the gift to let them survive underground, and there is no one outside, they are the lucky ones. ”

"They believe?"

Yuwen Wushuang asked.

Li Zhongming nodded: "Believe it, why don't you believe it? No one of them has ever gone out, and the first batch of people who have seen the outside world have long since died." They firmly believe that they are lucky, and that being able to live underground is the greatest gift the Holy Emperor has given them. Therefore, these people's loyalty to the Holy Emperor is more firm than that of people outside. It can be said that in the dungeon the Holy Emperor is no longer just an emperor, but a god. ”

Yuwen Wushuang sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

"Most of them don't even know anyone, probably most of them only know their neighbors. So even if there was an extra me all of a sudden, they didn't care at all. They don't even think I'm lying...... Because they are like domesticated and extremely obedient sheep, there are not even more officials in control here. They live by the rules because they are afraid...... Do you see that big stone tablet in the distance, with one hundred and ninety-nine decrees engraved on it? Anyone who violates any of these rules will be expelled from the dungeon. And what everyone is convinced of is that the outside world has been polluted, and going out is certain death. ”

An Zheng sneered: "Another world that looks beautiful." ”

"yes, it looks beautiful. ”

Li Zhongming's face turned a little pale: "They don't feel like sheep. ”

Yuwen Wushuang: "You don't have the right to judge their thoughts, they think it's good to live here, isn't it a kind of comfort for them?"

"Maybe. ”

Li Zhongming looked into the distance: "But in my opinion, the people here are all walking dead. ”

An Zheng didn't want to continue the topic, he asked, "How many secrets have you found out about the secrets in the dungeon." ”

"Nothing was found. ”

Li Zhongming sighed: "No one here restricts you from anything, as long as you don't violate the one hundred and ninety-nine laws, you can live very comfortably." However, no one can cross over there......"

He pointed into the distance: "The wall." ”

An Zheng knew that outside the wall was the granary and the underground armory, and he had sensed it at that time. Below the granary, there should be one or more floors. That is the core secret of the dungeon, but now it seems that even if you enter the dungeon, it is still far away from the secret. No one can go over that high wall, because it is closed. Every door can only be opened from the outside, and the people inside can't get out at all.

"So there's no point in us coming in. ”

Yuwen Wushuang said lightly: "Can I leave now?"

Li Zhongming said: "Although I can't enter the other side of the wall from here, I am sure to enter another place, but I don't know what is there. There was a large forbidden area over there, guarded by a large number of soldiers and cultivators. It was a separate place, separated by a high wall that extended. But apparently it is still under construction, so it takes a lot of craftsmen to get in. ”

"Forbidden Zone?"

"Yes, no-go zone. It seems that even the defenders here can't get in, and can only be responsible for the security of the perimeter of the place. The real guards were all men dressed in white linen robes with a strange sign on their clothes...... Like a pentagram?"

"Stargazing Pavilion. ”

An Zheng muttered to himself.

"Stargazing Pavilion?"

Li Zhongming paused for a moment, then said with a sneer: "It turns out that those are the people of the Star Pavilion, and they are a group of cold-blooded people who seem to be like machines. They have no feelings, and anyone in the slightest disobedience to them will be killed immediately. In the eyes of those people, there are only two kinds of people here, one is themselves, who have always been like animals, including those soldiers and even officers. ”

"What's the secret in there?"

"I don't know, I only tried to get close once, I was involved in recruiting craftsmen, but I could only do things on the periphery of the restricted area. Those in the Stargazing Pavilion also seem to be strictly forbidden to talk in front of outsiders, so most of the time they seem to be mute. I can't stand the look in them, when they look at me and other ordinary people, it's really like they're looking at pigs, cows, horses, and sheep. ”

"The Stargazing Pavilion is not going to build a forbidden area here for no reason. ”

An Zheng thought of another forbidden area in the Star Pavilion...... When he was in Jinling City, he found out that the four marshals of the Holy Domain who were deposed and guarded in the imperial tomb were actually related to the Star Gazing Pavilion. They were secretly cooperating with the people of the Stargazing Pavilion in the Imperial Tomb to do a big thing, and this matter was so important that the four Sacred Domain Marshals had to be asked to protect the Imperial Tomb. Any marshal of the Sacred Domain is the top cultivator of Daxi, and it takes four to protect it, so you can imagine how important that place is.

The news that An Zheng got was that it was very likely that the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo was creating something in the Imperial Tomb by relying on the people of the Star Gazing Pavilion, and the creation of this thing was related to the collection of the blood of all the demon beasts and the major families. It's a terrifying thing, and once created, it has the potential to change the world. In the hunting ground in Jinling City, Lao Qingniu also mentioned some, but because of the tight time at that time, Lao Qingniu didn't say much.

Therefore, An Zheng speculated that the secret place further down the underground palace and the forbidden area of this dungeon may be directly related to the secrets in the imperial tomb.

"You're waiting for me here. ”

An Zheng glanced at Yuwen Wushuang: "All you have to do is answer me, and you stay here." ”

Yuwen Wushuang frowned slightly: "Why do you arrange me to do something?"

"You don't understand anything. ”

An Zheng went down from the terrace and walked down the street. Yuwen Wushuang stood on the terrace and looked at the disappearing back, always feeling that this person seemed to have touched his heartstrings. There is an inexplicable relationship that is being connected by her for no reason, and the reason why this is so is because women can force people who are not related to them to become related in many cases...... And it is a variety of relationships.

An Zheng walked along the street to the forbidden area, the reason why he didn't take Yuwen Wushuang and Li Zhongming with him was because he couldn't trust anyone in the Yuwen family, and he couldn't trust any of them. Li Zhongming seemed to be sincere and said something, but he was sure that there were more words that he didn't say, because Li Zhongming didn't trust him either. He could only say a lot of things to Yuwen Wushuang, so An Zheng also gave him this opportunity.

It is much more convenient to do things by yourself than to take Yuwen Wushuang and Li Zhongming with you.

As he walked down the street, An Zheng deliberately looked at the faces of those people, and most of them looked a little pale, because they couldn't see the sun all year round. Even if those gems emit the light of the sun, there is still a huge difference. However, the people here do not have that kind of sick appearance, and from An Zheng's own observations, Li Zhongming has his huge subjective identification. Yuwen Wushuang is right in one sentence, the people here are very satisfied with the comfort here. So An Zheng couldn't help but think that if someone told them that the outside world was actually fine, they might not be able to accept it, although it didn't seem to people in the outside world to be so cruel.

The closer they got to the exclusion zone, the more soldiers came, but no one checked them, which meant that they were convinced that it was safe and that they had not thought that a hole had been dug through. There is everything here, inns, restaurants, and even casino green buildings, a few hundred meters away from the forbidden area, An Zheng entered a restaurant, sat down by the window and ordered a few dishes. A few dozen meters further into this restaurant is an open space, and there are no buildings.

There were many people in the restaurant, among them a few people from the Stargazing Pavilion wearing white linen robes. This is the closest restaurant to the forbidden area, so business is good, and those soldiers and people from the Stargazing Pavilion will come and sit when they are not on duty.

At this moment, An Zheng saw a familiar figure, so he immediately turned his head. He didn't use the power of cultivation, he just stood up, and with the strength of his muscles, he could easily avoid everyone and leave through the back door, and then put on a mask and re-entered. This mask is somewhat similar to An Zheng's appearance, but it is slightly sharper and thinner. A slight change in a person's facial features will also appear to be a big difference.

He sat down in his previous position, and the little er who served the food paused for a moment, muttering to himself why it seemed to be a different person. An Zheng was also bold, and dared to come back and sit in his original position.

A few people walked in slowly outside the door, and the one led by it was one of the four Sacred Domain Marshals An Zheng had seen...... Mu gradually left.

The moment he saw Mu gradually leaving, An Zheng knew that he had guessed correctly. The secrets in this underground palace and the secrets in the imperial tombs of Jinling City must be directly related, although the two places are thousands of miles apart, there must be a teleportation array. And this teleportation circle may be in the so-called forbidden area of the dungeon, to facilitate the people of the Star Pavilion.

Mu gradually left the few of them and went upstairs behind An Zheng, and then went directly into a private room. Before entering the private room, Mu gradually stopped and glanced back at An Zheng. There was a faint doubt in his eyes, and then he turned and entered the room.

An Zheng knew that Mu was very strong, so he used the power of the Dao Sect's seal to seal all his cultivation power and aura. He didn't know if he could hide it from Mu Weili, but he knew that he had to take this risk...... Because among those people, in addition to Mu gradually leaving him, there were two people he knew, one was a reclining Buddha, and the other was a person who should have died in his hands.
