Chapter Seventy-Eight: In the Underground Palace
As he went deeper and deeper in the dungeon, Lin Qi became more and more surprised.
Although I have long heard that the underground palace is the site of the previous dynasty, and it has a history of at least 300 years, the structure and shape of the entire underground palace are all full of very advanced concepts.
Lin Qi had stayed in Tianji Pavilion for three years, and he was well-read, similar to this architectural structure and method, in the collection of Tianji Pavilion, it was indeed mentioned, but more of it was just a concept, but it was basically not really implemented, but I didn't expect that here, Lin Qi really saw it.
If this is just a place used by the emperors of the previous dynasty to store treasures and artifacts, Lin Qi no longer believes that such a huge and intricate place is built in such a way, and it is even a secret within a secret, it is estimated that the reason is definitely not so simple.
And Lin Qi now has some thoughts about understanding the Heavenly Demon Sect, for them, they will definitely not focus on these mundane things, unless there are some ulterior secrets hidden here.
However, the way back is now gone, and Lin Qi can only walk forward, in fact, he still prepared a back road for himself at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would not need it at all now.
Blood Amber, the holy relic of the barbarian tribe that came back from the wilderness, actually has a very magical effect, which is also taught to him by Chen Zizheng of the Sword Pavilion.
Just like the other three holy relics, Blood Amber also has its own unique ability, his fragments, can create a doppelganger for a person, although this doppelganger only has the ability to make the main body, but no matter the appearance or breath, it is almost exactly the same as the main body, so that people can't distinguish it at all.
Calculating the time, the finals of the martial arts conference should have begun, although it was only used as an emergency means that he couldn't rush back, but now it seems that the doppelganger has already taken the stage for himself.
He went out this time, but he didn't actually say hello to Firefly, but with her understanding of the little girl, the latter should have noticed it, and now it is estimated that he is doing his best to buy himself more time.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi suddenly became anxious, originally he wanted to make a quick decision, and finally he could rush back directly this morning, but now it seems that he can't do it at all.
And the second ability of the blood amber is to allow the main body and the clone to be exchanged, in order to achieve the purpose of going back quickly, but I didn't expect that after entering the underground palace, the blood amber will have its own fragment and lose contact, if this happens, there can only be two possibilities, one is that the blood amber is too far away from the fragment, so it can't be sensed at all, and the other is that the fragment is completely destroyed, and there is not even the slightest residue left.
Since he can't rush back immediately, and he hasn't completed the task assigned by Zhang Xiao yet, at this stage, Lin Qi has no reason to return, not to mention that now he has even lost his way back, and it seems that he can only go forward.
"Come on, girl!"
Compared with himself, Lin Qi is more worried about the situation on the pear side, but with Zhang Xiao and Chen Zizheng taking care of him at the scene, it is estimated that there will be no big problem.
However, as Lin Qi went deeper and deeper, the breath in the air, for some reason, seemed to be mixed with some bloody smell, and as it went deeper, this taste became stronger and stronger.
Gradually, Lin Qi's heart was also clouded, and at the same time, a bad premonition began to emerge.
The long corridor under his feet is really long, Lin Qi has been walking for a long time, and he has not even reached the end, but at this time, he suddenly stopped, because he finally saw a hidden door, as well as ...... A corpse lying outside the door!
The ruins of the previous dynasty, even if they are dead, they can only be mutilated and incomplete bones all over the ground if they are long, but the person in front of him, whose body is still there, is obviously not the case.
Lin Qi was vigilant, walked forward cautiously, and slowly got a glimpse of the whole body as he got closer.
This man died from a sword wound, starting from the left shoulder bone and ending in the right rib abdomen, and was opened by a sword, and it is estimated that a lot of blood was shed at that time, but now it has long since dried up, and the blood has been dragged from the gate all the way to here, turning into a dark black mark on the ground, which looks very strange.
This sword wound is a little deep, and it can support it to die here, which means that the sword blade is too fast, looking at the expression on his frozen face, in addition to being frightened, it seems to be a little unwilling, but as an intruder, this person is most likely a disciple from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Lin Qi raised his head and looked at the gate in front of him, now that this person is dead here, what kind of scene is the time behind the door?
The smell of blood, which can now be assured, came from behind the hidden door!
Even Lin Qi is starting to be a little scared now, if you tell you that it's okay, at least you can be mentally prepared, but the most terrifying thing is often not these unknown things, and according to Lin Qi's judgment, the person who dies will definitely not be just the current one!
But now that we've come here, and there's no way back, what's the other choice if you don't move on?
The answer, of course, is no!
So Lin Qi could only take a deep breath to calm his mood a little, but the faint smell of blood wafting in the air did not make people feel very comfortable.
Lin Qi walked to the gate, although the door is old, but it is not damaged, the material is like some kind of stone, generally white, with strange patterns of different shades, looking at it from a distance, but it makes people have a luxurious and noble temperament, as for the scene behind the door, it really has to be pushed open, you can see it!
Now that you have come here, what else is there to be afraid of, not to mention that there is still a person waiting for you to hurry back!
Thinking of the fireflies, Lin Qi suddenly came to the courage, he raised his hand and pushed towards the door, the door was hidden, of course, it opened as soon as he pushed it, but just when the door was exposed, a strong wind suddenly poured in, and the white door instantly opened to both sides, until it hit the wall, making a deafening loud noise!
Suddenly the eyes are bright!
Lin Qi was shocked by the strong wind, and was startled by the loud noise, just behind him who was worried about being heard and startled the snake, but he was once again stunned by the scene in front of him!
This is a spacious hall, with eight stone pillars in the middle, the hall is gorgeous, whether it is the wall mountain or the stone pillars, are carved with all kinds of beautiful patterns, which can be regarded as vivid!
But the originally beautiful together was completely drowned by endless blood!
On the floor, on the walls, on the stone pillars, there were dark red or dark red blood marks everywhere, on the ground, next to the stone pillars, by the walls, and in the corners, lying and lying on their stomachs, all of them were human corpses! Some of their bodies were still intact, while others were directly beheaded or cut off by the waist, but without exception, they had all been dead for a long time, just like the corpse outside the door.
The whole hall is like a hellish scene!
Roughly counting, there are about seventeen or eighteen, and the main hall is filled with a disgusting bloody atmosphere, and now it is blown by a strong wind, and the entire hall has begun to slowly become turbid!
Lin Qi endured the disgust in his heart, at this time he could only cover his mouth and nose with his hands, and slowly walked forward, he did not find the murderer, but found that on the other side of the hall, there was a similar door.
Although he didn't know why these people died here, Lin Qi didn't want to investigate at all, and he didn't even want to stay here for a while, he just wanted to leave this bloody place as soon as possible.
Pushing open another door, it was still a long corridor, but the long corridor did not lead to the front as before, but not far away, there was a corner!
Lin Qi closed the door, and then walked forward cautiously, after all, there was a dead person here, so it is estimated that the murderer is very likely to be nearby, and he has just caused such a big movement, although I don't know why he didn't appear, but in any case, it is the most important thing to take precautions.
Walking to the corner, there was nothing unusual, Lin Qi carefully poked his head over, looked forward along the corridor, and found another gate.
This stone door is completely different from the previous two, not only is it more huge, but also the shape is old and simple, there is a solemn feeling, I am afraid that the things hidden behind this door will definitely not be simple.
Noticing no one else, Lin Qi continued to walk forward, while he secretly poked out the Taetea Tongxuan, searching for any possible dangers in case of emergency.
The huge stone door was tightly closed, and there was nothing to see between the gaps, Lin Qi raised his hand and retreated, but found that the stone door in front of him was extremely heavy, and it was not so easy to open.
Lin Qi thought to himself, or decided to try again, he opened his hand, took a sip of saliva, and then pushed it up again, this time he used all his strength, and even began to mobilize the true yuan, with qi to resist strength, only to hear a crisp sound, the giant door in front of him, he really opened a gap!
No problem!
Lin Qi gritted his teeth secretly, Lin Qi was heavy on his hand, and with a few consecutive sounds, the gap became bigger and bigger, and the stone door was really slowly pushed open, and soon it opened up enough for one person to pass through.
Just as Lin Qi smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred!
A gust of wind struck, and then only a roar was heard, and suddenly a sword light in the void struck from the sky behind Lin Qi's head!
Blood splattered!
Lin Qi fell into the room, stood up again with a roll, and then quickly retreated to the depths of the room, he touched the wound on his shoulder, it was already full of blood, if he hadn't reacted quickly just now, I was afraid that he would have been in a different place by now!
"Good skills, no wonder you dare to come to this kind of place alone!"
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the stone gate, he was wearing a black cloak, with a hat on his head, whether it was a cloak or a hat, it was now a little tattered, under the cloak, revealing a gray tights, holding a broadsword in his hand, and carrying four on his back.
Seeing him dressed like this, Lin Qi instantly remembered the identity of the other party.
This person is none other than the gray-clothed swordsman who was defeated and escaped from Zhang Xiao's sword when he met in the wild before, and he should also be the initiator of the chaos in Ouchi and the culprit who stole the Nioh Sword!
And the broadsword in his hand seems to be the Nioh Sword, but the only difference is that this Nioh Sword is actually bladed!
"Sure enough, it's you, it seems that the sword god senior really didn't guess wrong!"
Hearing Lin Qi's words, this person was obviously stunned, because in his mind, he didn't have the slightest impression of Lin Qi at all, but the other party still knew him.
"Who are you? Sword God Senior?
Speaking of Zhang Xiao's name, this person turned out to be resentful, gritting his teeth, as if he couldn't swallow Zhang Xiao alive!
The other party didn't know him, and Lin Qi didn't have the slightest surprise, after all, they only took one photo, but the other party was already an existence that could defeat Chen Zizheng at that time, but he didn't know if he had a chance to defeat the other party today.
But at this time, the other party just looked at it casually, with contempt and ridicule on his face, and he didn't even put Lin Qi in his eyes at all.
"Hey, little ghost, do you have anything to eat?"
Hearing the other party's words, Lin Qi was stunned, he didn't know why this person asked this, he looked forward at this time, but saw the other party's face, showing a hungry yellow color, and then thought about it carefully, but instantly figured out a lot of things.
Lin Qi laughed instantly.
"Hmph, stinky little ghost, what are you laughing at?" the other party seemed very unhappy.
"So you're stuck here!"
Hearing Lin Qi's words, this person's face sank, but he didn't say anything to deny it, Lin Qi saw it, and his heart became clearer.
"Let me guess, the reason why you are still here, and even asked me for food, it seems that you have been here for many days, and as for why you killed your companion, it should be because of this!"
Lin Qi said while observing the other party's expression, hoping to see more content, and even secretly wary of the other party, maybe he exploded directly after being annoyed!
"It's probably your companions who got you into this place, and you may have had a quarrel with it, which led to you finally killing someone, but you killed so many people at once, it seems that you are inhumane. ”
Hearing Lin Qi's evaluation, this person snorted coldly, with a very contemptuous attitude.
"As for your repeated claims that you want to come back to the Sword Pavilion for revenge, and even target the Sword Pavilion everywhere, in fact, it is just a means to attract people's eyes and ears, and then secretly cross Chen Cang, and then these people are actually in that period of time, slowly inserted into the capital, and then sent into the palace through various ways, and then use other passages in the underground palace to come here, but I am a little curious, since you know the passage, why are you trapped here?"
Lin Qi asked this, also trying to find a way to get out of here, and when the other party heard this, his face changed again, and his eyes when he looked at Lin Qi began to be full of killing intent.
"Who the hell are you!?"
The same question, this is the second time, but this time, it shows the importance he attaches to Lin Qi.
"Yutian Sect Lin Qi, entrusted by the Sword God senior, I made a special trip to find you this time!"
"Zhang Xiao, haha, it's Zhang Xiao again, he's really damned!hahahaha......"
Every time he talks about Zhang Xiao, this person's body is filled with endless anger and killing intent, and at this time, he actually raised his head and laughed wildly, and the endless anger began to overflow with his continuous laughter!
As the anger continued to expand, the entire room began to shake slightly, and just when Lin Qi was worried about whether the dungeon would collapse because of this, the other party's laughter stopped.
"Little ghost, if you have food on you, hand it over quickly, and I can leave you a whole corpse when the time comes!"
Lin Qi smiled slightly and spread his hands.
"Don't you know how to eat swords, what do you want to eat?"
"Little ghost, my name is Sword Chewer, if you dare to violate my bottom line again, I will let you know what is called real hell!"
As he spoke, the sword chewer had already raised the Nioh Sword in his hand, and then a violent wind suddenly scattered out from his body, and it also carried countless violent sword intent!
