Chapter 10: Exploring the Imperial Palace
"What are you. As soon as he landed, Kun Chao asked. But when they saw this person's back clearly, they all shuddered. Of course they recognized it, this person was Qi Lan, who waved his hand in the bamboo forest and killed the five of them in seconds, which made Zhai Linqing appreciate.
"Uh...... "This is not considered an enemy meeting, it should not be counted." Qi Lan probably didn't regard them as enemies, and they didn't even have the qualifications to hate Qi Lan.
"Thank you. Kun Chao just wanted to say something to support the scene, but was interrupted by Qi Lan, "If I were you, I wouldn't be endless." ”
Zhong Li just wanted to say something, but after hearing Qi Lan's words, the people around him sat cross-legged at the same time, exercising their pranayama. Zhongli could only swallow back the words that came to his lips and sat on the ground. They are indeed impulsive and forceful, but they are not stupid, and they still know what to do in the current situation.
Half an hour later, the only woman who had a good impression of Qi Lan was the first to open her eyes. After all, he received the least damage in the circular defensive battle array.
When she opened her eyes and saw Qi Lan who was still standing in the distance, Chu Na walked up to him with some hesitation, "Well, thank you, uh......"
Of course, Qi Lan knew what this girl was thinking, it was nothing more than a matter of title.
"It's good to be called Qi Lan, or that tasteless kid, it's more in line with your character. ”
Chu Na sneered when she heard Qi Lan's words, and hurriedly said, "No, no, this is too rude." If you don't dislike it, I'll call you Brother Qi. Qi Lan's heart warmed when the big brother called, and immediately said, "Okay, big brother, big brother." ”
"Brother Qi, you can ...... You can call me Nana. Chu Na was still a little embarrassed when she said this, but she didn't know why, she always felt a particularly warm atmosphere around Qi Lan. It's nostalgic.
Qi Lan smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect you to be quite childish, how could you soak with a few of them." As he spoke, he pointed to the people who were still recuperating from their injuries.
"Brother Qi, don't blame him too much. The five of us started from childhood, and we only had war and battle in our eyes when we practiced together. But I know him very well, although Zhongli is a little cautious, but his nature is not bad, and we want to invite you out of the mountain for the sake of the people of Limin. Brother Qi, you can help us regardless of your past suspicions. ”
I have to say that this girl is quite charismatic when she speaks, Qi Lan is already a little tempted, but she still said, "I still have important things to do, when I finish my business, you can come to Yuzhulin to find me again, I'll go first, I'll see you later." ”
Qi Lan wanted to leave, he had always not given others a chance to speak, and in a flash, he had already appeared at a height of 100 meters, leaving a person quietly watching the trajectory of Qi Lan's flying away.
"This Nizi, why do you have an inexplicable feeling, am I a little sensitive lately?"
"Forget it, there's more important things to do now. ”
Twelve hours, flying and stopping. In Qi Lan's maximum high-speed advance, he finally crossed half the continent and came to the location of Xinghai City.
The once prosperous Xinghai City has become depressed, and the people who walk on the street sporadically are also helpless, and their faces that should be full of smiles are full of deep sadness. They didn't know when the demons would enter Xinghai City and slaughter it completely.
"It's like a dead city, and if you lose confidence, what will you do to fight. Qi Lan sighed secretly as he walked on the road to Xinghai City. But this kind of thing he just nags, ordinary people can't step into the battlefield even if they have the heart.
The tallest building in the city is, of course, the Imperial Palace, which is the best to find compared to other places. "Not only do the people in the city have no fighting spirit, but why don't even the palace be defended. It's really an emperor who can't hold up the wall with mud. "To be honest, this time Qi Lan really wronged Cheng Yuan, the lack of guards in the palace does not mean that the emperor has no fighting spirit, but after the founding of the country, he said that he would share the joys and sorrows with the people, and the guards are just the performance of those who are weak-hearted. So there was nothing else in the palace except for the basic janitors and maids.
It was easy to walk into the gate of the palace guarded by ordinary people, and of course the library pavilion that Qi Lan was looking for couldn't be here, so he could only continue to walk towards the inner palace of the palace. "This is fresh, the guards in the inner palace of the palace have suddenly risen to the powerhouse of the Xuan Realm, what does this emperor mean. "Not to mention, this sudden rise in the defense level is really unguardable, Qi Lan was also taken aback, and he almost walked in with a swagger of stealth. Although he was confident that the Xuanjing Martial Artist would not be able to see through him, he could guarantee that there was no artistic conception in it, and if it was discovered, it would add a lot of trouble.
Just said that Qi Lan knew that there was a strong person in the palace who thought he was stronger, and according to what Zhai Linqing said before, that person would be able to level him within ten rounds.
This sentence made Qi Lan always fearful, because it was not very easy for him to defeat Zhai Linqing.
When you think about it, you can't stop. He naturally had a way to pass through the defense of the inner wall, and the inner release firmly sucked the ground on his feet, and found a place where there were few people and walked up to the inner wall step by step.
Standing at the highest place on the inner wall like a palace and looking out, slowly, Qi Lan's brows gradually tightened.
"There are only two places in the palace to store books, the imperial study and the pavilion dedicated to ancient calligraphy and paintings. But how can this palace seem to be messy, what is the trouble. "Although the palace that appears at Qi Lan's feet now has the majesty of the palace, there is always another sense of disorganization, and if you don't look closely, it will be difficult to find. Just like that, I found the library in the mess, and I really couldn't see it at a glance.
Just when Qi Lan was about to jump down, his figure suddenly stopped. He carefully observed the scene in front of him again, and grinned, "Master, I was almost fooled." ”
Yes, all the pictures in front of Qi Lan are fake.
During the renovation of the palace, after many plans, a layer of enchantment was arranged directly outside the inner walls of the palace. In this way, the secrecy and security of the palace will be greatly improved. Knowing what was in front of him, Qi Lan had a way to solve it, and after a few minutes, he was already standing in the garden of the Inner Palace, staring at the towering spire in the middle of the entire Inner Palace.
"It's really advanced. With a sigh of admiration, Qi Lan walked towards the minaret, which was already considered the tallest building in the palace, and the height of the terrain also reflected the most important degree. If what is said in the book of heaven is true, it will definitely appear here. After all, no matter how turbulent the dynasty is, the only thing that has remained unchanged for thousands of years is the palace.
Strange to say, this seems to be a law of the law. No matter who it is and how it is laid, as long as you stay away from this area, you will definitely die soon.
Walking forward step by step slowly, the internal force of the whole body was released, forming a sensing tentacle in front of him, and once he felt the enchantment or barrier in the process of traveling, he would immediately sense it.
It's no wonder that Qi Lan is so careful, he really has to guard against it in the palace. However, Qi Lan's preparations were still in vain, as if they were too confident in the enchantment of the outer wall, and they still didn't care about the guards' strict guards. There was no second-layer enchantment around this tower, so Qi Lan staggered to the bottom of the tower.
Qi Lan went around and found that this strange tower didn't have a gate on the first floor. After watching it for a long time, he suddenly said, "Why do you have a very uncomfortable breath." Trouble, climb the window. ”
Walking to the side of the spire, he found a place where the window was enough for his hands and feet, and continued to release his internal force as he climbed up, and Qi Lan deliberately bypassed the window on the second floor and came to the third floor.
When he reached the third floor, he still didn't go in immediately, and released a huge internal force around the entire third floor, looking for a flaw in the trigger device.
"Hmph" Half a minute later, Qi Lan snorted speechlessly, climbed back to the second floor, opened the window directly, and climbed in. After his exploration, the entire tower was covered with forbidden circles, and only the windows on the second floor seemed to be reserved for the thieves next door.
This may be a trap, but Qi Lan is not afraid at all, and easily climbs to the second floor of the spire, and after he enters, he finally finds out why there is no prohibition here. Because there was nothing in it, yes, the inexplicable second floor was empty, and there were no stairs in a huge room except dust, neither upstairs nor downstairs. Only a golden-green formation in the middle was shining brightly.
As soon as he stepped on, he found that it was a short-distance spatial teleportation circle, and the appropriate conditions must be met in order to activate it. As for what the conditions are, he doesn't know. However, for a wood-attribute martial artist, these things can be detected through the changes in the residual natural aura, let alone a martial artist like Qi Lan who is beyond the artistic conception.
Closing his eyes and quietly feeling the changes in the circle, pictures continued to fly in front of his eyes, and countless figures appeared one after another above the circle. In a quarter of an hour, Qi Lan opened his eyes. Clearly, he had found a way.
Standing on the magic circle again, using the internal force to imitate the appearance of the magic circle to operate, I saw a flash of golden light and the second layer returned to calm, just like before, empty, but in the third floor of the tower, there was inexplicably one more person.
This person was Qi Lan, and as soon as the surrounding scene changed, he knew that he had succeeded. Before he could boast about himself, he was already staring at the things around him in surprise.
There are all kinds of weapons on this third floor, and they are not ordinary weapons, they can be regarded as the kind of exquisite weapons that cast everyone. This kind of weapon is a rarity in the entire martial arts world, and if you can see it, you have to break your head to fight for it. The 100-square-meter area here is piled up to the brim, like rags.
Putting away that thought, Qi Lan found the stairs and continued to walk up, this staircase is also an identification barrier, for Qi Lan there is no difference between there and not.
