Chapter 273: The Underground Palace
"Heh, like my father?"
A chuckle that seemed to sigh sounded softly in the silent cave, and Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan with faint eyes:
"What do you mean by this that my father wants to cut off your prime minister's mansion and then let the second brother start over the path they have walked?"
"That's a good question, I don't know."
β.β Li Qingyan.
Xu Yuan put his hands behind him relaxed, and said with a smile: "I have only had a few encounters with today's saints since I was a child, and I don't know anything about his personality, so I just said that those things are analyzed from Li Zhaoyuan's position." β
The corners of Li Qingyan's lips crossed a smile of unknown meaning:
"So you think that the second brother will block his worth and life between his father's thoughts?
"Moreover, when it comes to making deals with the sect, the eldest brother in this palace seems to have more advantages, after all, the old man of the national teacher is the nominal kendo master of the eldest brother, and he stayed in the sword sect for three years in his early years."
Xu Yuan bowed his head slightly and asked:
"What you said makes sense, but other than that, Li Zhaoyuan has other ways?"
β.β
Silence for a moment,
Li Qingyan shook his head boringly.
Xu Yuan said in a low voice:
"The mother concubine is a palace maid, not the eldest son, your second brother wants to ascend the throne, every step up is a gamble, and this time he is betting that your father's attitude towards my prime minister's mansion will change.
"Now it seems that he is most likely right in his bet, and next, it is time to see how my father will take it."
Establishing contact with the sect did not happen overnight.
In other words, Li Zhaoyuan probably started his arrangement more than ten years ago or even more than twenty years ago.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan restrained his serious look and smiled:
"However, I personally still prefer to see our father and emperor work together to bring this road to the end, rather than leaving it to the next generation."
After a brief pause in his voice, Xu Yuan whispered:
"And then realize the romance of their year."
"Romantic?" Li Qingyan muttered with interest.
In the gloomy cave, Xu Yuan's blood-glittering eyes flashed:
"For the same ideal, and unswerving romance to death."
β.β
Li Qingyan didn't say anything more when he heard this, and slowly stood up from the cold stone face with his knees propped up.
A red-clothed man was as dark as blood in the dim cave, and his slender figure stood straight, his voice indifferent:
"This cave seems to be quite large, so go and look around.
"But this kind of romantic horse can be found in the drawing book, and there should be many such stories in it."
β.β
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan smashed his mouth: "Tsk"
She was slightly unhappy with the breast-wrapping princess's words that ruined the atmosphere.
But after a pause, Xu Yuan touched his chin and looked at her slender back, and said with a smile:
"You're so unconfident in your father?"
β.β
Li Qingyan didn't stop, and his back gradually disappeared into the darkness of the cave.
Ban Yu,
After an incomprehensible chuckle came from afar, her faint voice came:
"As the child of Duke Xu, this palace thinks that you should know the taste of power very well."
When the words fell, all you could hear was her footsteps moving away.
β.β
Xu Yuan frowned, but immediately after seeing the Sumeru ring on his fingertips, he sighed in a low voice.
Girls, sure enough, it's still more sensual and cute.
In his previous life, he Xu Yuan had never seen any big scenes, but more than a dozen people in most departments could engage in office politics for a few small powers, and they stumbled with each other all day long, and even did not hesitate to get people into squatting.
The private enterprise of more than a dozen people is still like this, not to mention the supreme imperial power now.
In the previous life, the standard puppet Emperor Han Xian could think of a coup d'Γ©tat to seize power, and if there was a slight possibility for the ancient and modern emperors, no one would tolerate the imperial power in their hands.
If you give up this power for the sake of ideals, then Li Yaoxuan will not be the emperor, and he will directly transcend and become holy.
But for now, neither old man has done this.
Li Yaoxuan needs the royal inheritance to prevent Li Xingtian's family from being broken in his generation.
And behind his dad is those followers who have been with him for most of his life.
At the end of the year, everyone is like-minded,
When the summit is goodbye,
The surrounding area has changed.
This romance,
There is a high probability that it can only appear in the picture book.
Li Qingyan went out to find a way out, while Xu Yuan stayed where he was to restore Yuan Qi.
Li Qingyan's Yuan Qi injected into Xu Yuan's body only had a protective effect, and the exhaustion of his Yuan Qi still made his body and bones a little weak.
But Xu Yuan doesn't care,
I'm richγ
The power brought by the identity of the head of the northern border of the Prime Minister's Mansion made him eat all at once.
In his previous life, he was reluctant to eat the precious pills that he was reluctant to eat when playing games, but now his Sumeru ring is counted by the bottle.
I don't know how long it has been in the cave, but only the occasional tick of water dripping from the stalactite tip
The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Yuan saw that she was dressed in a red robe and had returned to his side at some point.
Came and went without a trace, without the slightest sound.
Maybe in the future, when he gets married, he goes to the hook bar, and he plays in it, and the princess sits next to him and watches him, and he doesn't even know it.
Hiss. It's kind of scary to think about it.
Gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan asked with a low smile:
"You're back so soon, and you've found a way out?"
"Nope."
Li Qingyan shook his head, his eyes were a little solemn: "It seems that this is not a cave, but an underground palace." β
"The dungeon?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, subconsciously muttered, and immediately asked, "It's only been two hours since then, even if this underground palace is big, with the strength of your soul and soul, you should be able to find a way out, right?" β
Li Qingyan pointed to the inner wall of the cave:
"Horse, you can use your own soul to probe and find out."
β.β
Xu Yuan stretched and condensed, and then his soul poked out of the sea of consciousness and looked for the surroundings.
And the next moment, under Li Qingyan's gaze, Xu Yuan's brows furrowed a little.
After running the exercises, his eyes will have a certain degree of night vision.
But in the absolute darkness of today, this night vision ability will be weakened to the extreme, but the mind is more like the exploration of infrasound waves in previous lives, and will directly map the surrounding environment in the mind, not affected by the light and darkness.
But at this moment, the moment his mind touched the inner wall of the cave, it became weak as if he had fallen into the realm of stagnation.
And the inner wall of this calm cave is eating his soul.
It's a very subtle touch.
If it weren't for the fact that he was accustomed to the invasion of the Enchantrator Spora when he was double cultivating with Su Jinxuan, it would not have been possible to find out at the first time with Xu Yuan's innate soul body.
β.β
In the silence, Xu Yuan silently got up and walked towards the stone wall on the side, stood close, and slowly raised his hand to caress the wall.
The wall is not cold, fluffy, and a little damp.
Is this vegetation?
"Whoaβ"
A flash of blood suddenly ignited, and the darkness in the cave was dispelled in an instant.
Approaching the strange vegetation that covered the inner wall of the cave, Xu Yuan looked closely, but after seeing a slight crack, the vegetation near the flame directly avoided it as if it were life.
The bloodflame moves away, and the vegetation crawls back.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan looked around by the firelight in his palm.
And then
He suddenly noticed that the spacious cave was covered with an unknown layer of vegetation both on the ground and on the inner walls.
maroon-red,
It looked a little strange under the light of the blood flame in his hand.
With his hand withdrawn, the blood dissipated, and the cave was suddenly darkened.
Xu Yuan exhaled and walked back to Li Qingyan and sat down.
The place where they sat was the only "pure land" around, and the vegetation in this area should have been eaten by the spatial turbulence they carried when they teleported.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
"Qingyan, do you know what this fungus blanket is?"
Li Qingyan's two slender fingers Mosuo Sumeru ring:
"There are not many vegetation in this world that can shield the soul, and there has never been maroon vegetation among them, so it should be unique to this underground palace."
"Exclusive?"
Xu Yuan muttered, and then grinned: "Then we will make a fortune, this brown mushroom blanket is a brand new material, when we go out, bring some samples to my fourth sister, and then find someone to mine, maybe she can make a surprise." β
β.β When Li Qingyan heard this, his eyes gradually became strange.
"Just kidding."
Seeing this, Xu Yuan spread his hands, and the smile in his eyes faded.
The huge benefits of discovering a new material in this otherworldly world are indeed staggering, but these are all presupposed, and they can get out first.
And the moment he saw the weirdness of the brown red fungus carpet, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered something, something that was about to be forgotten by him.
His source of blessing is as high as 3 points.
Usually cultivating at home can't see the power of it, and only when this kind of random teleportation can the benefits brought by Gao Fuyuan be revealed.
was directly teleported into the dangerous Sakura Leech Lake in the Qionghua Secret Realm before, but this time it is estimated that he was teleported into a Jedi somewhere.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at Li Qingyan, who was beautiful and dusty beside him, and sighed.
It seems that the blessing of this breast-wrapped princess is also quite low.
Well. I miss the N+1 day of Treasure Hunt.
And seeing that Xu Yuan no longer spoke, Li Qingyan also whispered what she had seen and heard when she was exploring in the underground palace:
"Although this underground palace is intricate, there are obvious artificial traces, and it is very likely that it is an ancient tomb, or a maze set up by predecessors."
"Qingyan."
Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted and pointed to the top of the cave above: "Can you try to penetrate this place directly?" β
In "Cangyuan", it is not allowed to destroy the terrain, but in reality it is possible.
Maze? What maze to walk?
Straight chisel!
Li Qingyan smiled slightly when he heard this.
The next moment,
"Poof!"
The blade of the knife on his waist suddenly came out of the sheath, and a piece of fire slashed through the darkness, and the sharp tip of the knife pointed at the top of the cave above.
"Humβ"
The sound of the knife was crisp, and a hurricane spread around Li Qingyan.
The red sleeves settled, and a small round hole suddenly appeared, bottomless, but not daylight.
Putting the knife into the sheath, Li Qingyan said neatly:
"The main palace has already tried before, this underground palace is very deep, and the main palace is not sure how far from the ground."
Xu Yuan looked at the hole on the top of the cave and hesitated slightly:
"How many times in a row?"
β.β
Li Qingyan didn't answer, gently put an index finger between his rosy lips, and looked at the depths of the dark and deep cave: "Shhhh
Xu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
It seems that there are "monsters" in this dungeon.
Between thoughts,
Xu Yuan's eyes were staring, and his soul poked out.
But in the next moment, a strong humanoid black shadow struck from the darkness like lightning!
The black shadow of the human figure came very suddenly, not only was it undetectable, but there was no sound.
The speed was very fast, and with the addition of the Blood Yuan Heart Technique, Xu Yuan could barely see the trajectory of the other party's movements.
But in other words, this speed should be the same as a turtle crawling in Li Qingyan's eyes.
And as Xu Yuan thought,
The fiery red sword light flashed, and after the dark cave was reflected, the attacking figure was split in half in the air in an instant, and smashed down on the ground next to the two of them with the inertia of the attack!
Li Qingyan did not stop the movements in his hand, his jade hand was raised slightly, and two red flame sword shadows shot out, nailing the figure that was divided into two to the ground, pointing at the two lumps, and said softly:
"Take a look, donkey."
β.β
The light emitted by the red flame made Xu Yuan see the incoming thing clearly.
It was indeed a humanoid creature, and he could even faintly see the blurred features on its face.
From the head, it was split in two by Li Qingyan's sword, but the strange thing is that even if it was split in two, nothing resembling blood flowed out, and instead there were thousands of tiny flesh and blood tentacles.
Sprawling out of the breach, the squirt struggled to reconnect the disconnected body together.
Xu Yuan's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously stood up.
Looking back at Li Qingyan, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Pinching the numbness, how low is this woman's blessing? She couldn't have dragged him over, could she?
Dead Silence Dungeon, a ninety-level dungeon in the wild.
β.β
Seeing Xu Yuan's reaction, Li Qingyan frowned slightly, and asked in a clear voice:
"Pony, do you know what this weird thing is?"
Xu Yuan's brain was spinning and licking his lips: "Hmm." β
Li Qingyan smiled when he heard this,
rise
Raise your hand,
The two Red Flame Swords nailed to the monster's body immediately glowed with a dazzling red light!
The scorching flames rose, and the monster that had been trying to connect its body was devoured in an instant.
In the embers of the flames,
Li Qingyan stepped on his boots and walked to Xu Yuan's approach, bent his eyes, and smiled softly:
"In that case, can you tell this strange thing to this palace?"
"Yes."
Xu Yuan spit out two words, stared at Li Qingyan's eyes, and said lightly with great solemnity:
"Li Qingyan, the first-class internal staff of our Prime Minister's Mansion has recorded the information of this underground palace, if you want to live, don't doubt any of my words."
β.β
Li Qingyan narrowed his red eyes, was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said solemnly:
"Well, since the horses have said so, this palace naturally won't doubt it."
Hearing this promise, Xu Yuan's heart was slightly relieved.
To be honest, he was really afraid that this assertive princess would be a maverick in such a place.
Li Qingyan pressed the handle of the knife and asked softly:
"Look at the look on your face, this thing should be tricky?"
After being silent for a moment, Xu Yuan pointed to the charred ground and said:
"This is a strange ghost, a monster with vigorous vitality and strong contagion, and it should have been a human race cultivator before that thing was infected."
After a pause,
Xu Yuan pointed to the fungus blankets that could shield and devour the soul:
"Those are supposed to be the black dead fungus blankets of the Strangers, which can provide the Strangers with the source of regeneration and flesh and blood."
Li Qingyan listened carefully and asked the question she was most concerned about:
"Horse, in the information of your Prime Minister's Mansion, is there a stronger ghost in this underground palace than this palace?"
"Yes."
Xu Yuan replied categorically: "And it is far stronger than you now, and the strongest ghost is also the best among the first-class mortals." β
The words fell silent.
Li Qingyan's beautiful face was cold, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was slightly forced.
Xu Yuan smiled lightly and said:
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much, as long as we don't make too much noise, that thing won't wake up."
The voice did not fall,
"Boom !!!!!"
A roar accompanied by a landslide and a tremor like a crack came from the depths of the underground palace, making it difficult for people to stand still.
And after the tremor, it was the fist wind that spread along the intricate road.
The cold wind blew the robes of the two of them hunting,
Silently,
Li Qingyan glanced at the direction where the sound came from, then looked at Xu Yuan, and pouted in the direction where the movement came.
What now?
β.β
Xu Yuan licked his lips and asked tentatively:
"It's . Barbarian king? β
