Chapter 351: The Secret Passage
Lin Qi and Hong Lian walked out of the inn, at this time it was already dark, and the streets were also hung with lights, and many shops even lit up luminous stones in front of the door, making the whole city brightly lit.
The evening was still lively, and the two walked through the crowd for a while to an alley, which was deserted, except for one or two beggars who asked Hanako to rest on the sky and the earth.
The two walked down the alley for a while, and then stopped in front of an old wooden door.
"The man is waiting inside, let's go in,"
With that, Hong Lian took the lead and pushed open the door, and Lin Qi and the two entered.
When you enter the door, you can see that this place is a gambling house, and the people who bet on this place are all monks and the like, and there are piles of spirit stones on the gambling table, and even a lot of magic weapons are offered to make bets.
"Where is that person?" asked Lin Qi.
"He waited in the private room within, and we will go over." ”
With that, she led the way to the depths of the gambling house, and through the dark corridor, she knocked on the door of the last room.
Then the door opened, and a young maid welcomed them inside.
Entering the room, Lin Qi noticed the person at first sight.
It was a man with short stature and peculiar features, he was covered in a lot of bandages, obviously he had been injured not long ago, he was smoking a cigarette pouch slowly, and his small eyes were staring at Hong Lian and Lin Qi and said.
"Sit down, you're looking for me?"
Hong Lian and Lin Qi sat down, and Hong Lian immediately took out a token and put it in front of the man.
The short man looked at it and chuckled, "It turned out to be her subordinate, and this one is a ghost-faced guard, it seems that he has asked me." ”
"It's true that we need a little bit of information from our seniors. Hong Lian pursed her lips and smiled, retracting the token and said.
The short man said with one hand on his beard and a golden glow in his eyes.
"You know, my rules are very simple, you pay and I speak. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Hong Lianyu's hand made a move on the table, and hundreds of spirit stones were placed on the table.
The short man's eyes lit up and he asked, "Okay, let me ask your question." ”
"I want to ask you if there has been a teenager in the last two days who has sought refuge in the City Lord's Mansion in a carriage. ”
Red Mercy asked tentatively.
When the short man heard this, he waved his hand and accepted the spirit stone on the table.
"Two days ago, there was indeed a young man who drove a carriage to the City Lord's Mansion, and there were a lot of things on the carriage, all of which were rare things. ”
The short man spoke, and his eyes were shining with golden light.
When Lin Qi heard this, he knew that the young man must be Danyu.
In this way, Lin Qi opened his mouth and asked, "Then do the seniors know that there is any way to avoid the moat and the forbidden air and enter it in the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Hearing this, the short man was also silent for a moment, and his little eyes rolled for a moment before he said.
"I have a way to solve this problem, but I can't buy the little money I gave before. ”
Listening to the short man's words, Hong Lian directly threw a small bag of spirit stones to him, and the man took a look at it and grinned at the money bag under his hand.
"I like to do business with you generous people. ”
With that, the short man took out a piece of parchment from his arms and handed it to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi opened it and saw that it was a map, the map was a topographic map of the island where the City Lord's Mansion was located, on which all the organs and sentry posts were marked, and the most important thing was that there was an underwater passage that led directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
"This is the secret passage to enter the City Lord's Mansion?"
The short man rubbed his beard and said with a grin: "This passage was secretly left when the City Lord Island was built, and it is a top-secret existence, even the City Lord of Najon Border does not know the existence of this secret passage.
"What you said is accurate, there will be no problem with this secret passage?" Lin Qi looked at the secret passage on the parchment and wondered.
The short man grinned and said: "I never do false business, I will not smash my own signboard, this news was obtained by me at a great cost back then, and I have personally seen it, and after passing this secret passage, you can reach the rockery in a garden somewhere in the city lord island." ”
Hong Lian also approached Lin Qi and whispered to him.
"This person's various information is very accurate, and he has a certain reputation in the clan, so he can be trusted. ”
After hearing this, Lin Qi accepted the map and signaled that Hong Lian could leave.
The two of them got up, and Red Mercy said goodbye to the short man.
And before leaving, the short man suddenly said to Lin Qi: "The masters in the City Lord's Mansion are like clouds, and the main cultivation of Rongbian City is high enough to have the mid-Yuan Infant realm, if you go to that place, you will disappear if you are not careful." ”
Listening to the short man's kind reminder, Lin Qi thanked him.
"Thank you for the reminder from the seniors, and the younger generations are free to measure. ”
Then the two left.
Leaving the gambling house and walking outside, Hongling whispered to Lin Qi: "Since we have received the news of Danyu, then we will go to the City Lord's Mansion now?"
Lin Qi said in a deep voice: "It's better for me to go alone with the City Lord's Mansion." ”
When Hong Lian heard this, her brows furrowed, she grabbed Lin and said, "How can you let you go alone, the city lord's mansion is too dangerous for you alone." ”
Lin Qi turned around, looked at Hong Lian with a hideous ghost face, and said in a firm tone.
"The risk of going to this should not be borne by you, I am also convenient to act alone, and there is Yun Feiqing who needs you to help me take care of it, if I have an accident here, I hope that Miss Hong Lian will teach Feiqing, he is a good seedling, you go back and take Yun Feiqing out of the city first, and wait for me in the place where I am a hundred miles east of the city." ”
With that, Lin Qi pulled out his hand and turned to leave.
Hong Lian slowly withdrew her hand, she slowly clenched the hand and put it on her chest, her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Qi's departing figure and whispered.
"Do you like it so much that you take all the responsibility yourself?"
......
Lin Qi's side, after he left the alley, he walked directly to the place marked on the map.
The entrance to the secret passage marked on the map was actually in a remote alley, Lin Qi followed the guidance and walked towards the depths of the alley, and after turning a few corners, Lin Qi entered the cracks of several houses, and the narrow gaps Lin Qi could only pass sideways.
And this place is dark and damp, the black mud under your feet is more than an inch deep, and there is moss everywhere very dirty.
After squeezing through this crack, Lin Qi came to the corner clearing formed by several houses, which was overgrown with weeds, and there were some rats and the corpses of dead cats everywhere.
"This is the entrance to the secret passage?"
Lin Qi opened the map in his hand with some doubts, and its mark was exactly here, Lin Qi had no choice but to look for it, and after looking around, Lin Qi found that there were a few pieces of floor tiles under his feet that looked a little loose.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a blazing fire to burn the weeds, and under the burned weeds there were several floor tiles of different colors.
Lin Qi stepped on the floor tiles a few times, and found that there was a hollow underneath, so he used his mana to lift a few floor tiles.
A secret passage emerged from below.
"Sure enough, there is a secret passage. ”
When he found the secret Dao Lin Qi, he jumped straight down.
The secret passage was dark and damp, Lin Qi took out a glowing night stone to illuminate the secret passage, and the secret passage he saw was made of red bricks, straight down.
Lin Qi didn't hesitate to see it, so he walked quickly along the secret passage.
The secret passage went all the way down, and the more it went, the wetter and wetter, and the muddy cool water gradually appeared under the feet.
And after walking for a while, the more water there became, and gradually it submerged Lin Qi's knees, and the passages further ahead were submerged in the water.
"I can only use water to escape and move on. ”
Saying that Lin Qi recited the mantra, he made the whole person into the water with the water escape method, he entered the water with the water escape technique, and the speed of the water was very fast, and the night glow stone in his hand illuminated the road ahead, and Lin Qi moved forward quickly.
After a while, Lin Qi heard the sound of the water surging above the passage, and he said secretly, "It seems that you have come under the moat." ”
However, when Lin Qi walked a distance, he was dumbfounded, and the passage in front of him had been cut off, and a pile of boulders blocked the way.
"Why is this happening?"
Lin Qi was surprised and took out the parchment paper to compare, but the parchment did not record this anomaly.
"It seems that the quality of this secret passage is worrying. ”
After all came here, Lin Qi naturally couldn't turn around and go back, he commanded with his hand to break through the boulder with sword qi, and then the water outside the passage poured in, and the powerful water flow opened the passage by a section, and Lin Qi smashed the rocks with the powerful water current.
After a while, Lin Qi saw that this section of the secret passage had been cut off by something, and the next section of the tunnel was a hundred zhang away from the opposite side.
Lin Qi sighed lightly and was about to pass, but suddenly felt a vicious wind behind him, and he hurriedly turned around, but was swept away by a strong current.
At the same time, it felt as if an incomparably huge object had hit his body in front of him, Lin Qi retreated in the current, and the strong water swept through Lin Qi, causing Lin Qi to suffer severe pain.
He sank into the rocks at the bottom, and the huge impact rolled up in the water and swirled continuously.
Lin Qi shook his head and floated from the bottom of the water, only then did he see clearly that a giant fish with a size of hundreds of zhang had appeared in front of him!
This fish is a huge carp, its body is red and white, the fins are stretched like the sails of a giant ship, and the long tail behind it is thick and powerful, and the slap at the bottom of the water is a rockfall.
Lin Qi, the giant fish in front of him, was no more than the size of a fish, and the water it rolled up was like a sharp sword shattering the riverbed, and Lin Qi couldn't help but marvel at what he saw.
"No wonder there is a giant beast hidden in the river outside the island, it turns out to be such a huge fish. ”
In addition to being amazed, Lin Qi was also a little eager to try, after all, such a big fish Lin Qi also wanted to know what the quality of its meat was.
But Lin Qi immediately dispelled this idea, he still had something to do, so he didn't want to get entangled with this thing.
Lin Qi turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect this giant fish to be staring at him, and immediately blocked in front of Lin Qi, its giant tail swept away, rolling up tens of millions of catties of river water and pouring it in.
Lin Qiding was in the current as if facing a hurricane, he froze against the water, and he was also angry when he was entangled by this giant fish.
The sword qi in his hand fell on the giant fish in a flash, who expected that the incomparably sharp sword qi slashed on the scales of the giant fish, but sparks burst out, and the power of the sword failed to penetrate the scales of the giant fish.
Such a scene also shocked Lin Qi, the giant fish in front of him was afraid that it would not be able to be killed without using a sword pill, but that would be a lot of trouble.
Lin Qi went against the water and wanted to ask for the entanglement of the giant fish, but although the giant fish was big, the speed was not slow at all.
Lin Qi entangled with him, but he couldn't get rid of him, and in desperation, Lin Qi integrated into his body with the power of the Sky Flash Sword, and his whole person turned into a silver lightning bolt in the water and walked forward.
The giant fish swung its long tail and swept Lin Qi, but it was Lin Qi's phantom, Lin Qi's real body appeared in front of the passage, and his figure flashed into the passage.
The giant fish was extremely angry, and it slammed into the passage fiercely, Lin Qi saw that the passage behind him turned into powder in the impact of the giant fish, so he fled with all his strength, and did not stop until he ran out of the giant fish.
Lin Qi sighed lightly and moved on.
After walking for a while, Lin Qi walked out of the water, and the communication in front of him became much shorter, and Lin Qi walked in the passage with his body bent.
After he turned many corners, Lin Qi saw a bright light coming from the entrance of the cave, Lin Qi put a trace charm on himself, suppressed his breath and slowly approached the entrance of the cave.
He slowly poked his head out and saw that he was in the rockery of a pool.
And not far from the outside is where the giant tower is!
