Chapter 176: The Palace Dungeon
"You're new here. One of the prisoners replied weakly.
"I've really just been caught, may I ask where this is and why are you all like this? Ye Hua hurriedly saluted and asked the other party for advice.
"This is the palace dungeon, don't ask us why we are like this, you'll find out tomorrow. The man didn't want to answer Ye Hua's question.
"I see, sure enough, this is the palace, thank you for informing. Ye Hua couldn't ask more when he saw the other party's appearance, since he knew what was going on tomorrow, he could just wait for a while.
Ye Hua belongs to a person who is at ease with what he encounters, since he can't get out now, it is better to rest for a while to recover the spiritual power he used up before, he is now sealed in the sea of qi, and the spiritual power cannot be replenished through the sea of qi, so he can only rely on meditation to absorb spiritual power from the outside world and store it everywhere in his body.
"Sure enough, I was right, those strange beasts didn't hurt my life, but who instructed these strange beasts, are they really King Xibei?" "Why did King Xibei raise these strange beasts, if it was just to guard Xibei at night, it would be too much of a fuss. ”
I really can't figure it out, Ye Hua can only meditate with peace of mind, he has been trying to unlock the seal in the sea of qi recently, he learned from Shui Menglan's mouth that his sea of qi was added to himself subconsciously, in order to protect the sea of qi from the backlash of spiritual power. But days have passed, and the seal shows no signs of loosening. But in the previous battle, when he was about to run out of strength, he vaguely felt a flash of inspiration in the sea of qi, although he was about to faint at that time, he could still clearly feel the aura flashing by his sea of qi.
"Is there any sign of unsealing?" Ye Hua was secretly happy in his heart, and he continued to test the seal around his qi sea with his spiritual power, but the seal was still unbreakable, and all the spiritual power he released bounced back. After several attempts, Ye Hua still didn't come up with a way to lift the seal.
"I heard Shui Menglan say before that this kind of seal was inspired by my own survival consciousness, and it was a kind of protection for my qi sea in my subconscious. Ye Hua has never really thought carefully about the situation in his qi sea, but this time in prison, he can calm down and think about what happened in his qi sea. "When I first recruited my own star spirit body, I knew that it would cause damage to the sea of qi, so I had the Heavenly Star Ancestor use some of his remaining spiritual power to protect my sea of qi, but I didn't expect that the star spirit body was too powerful, and even the spiritual power of the ancestor couldn't protect it thoroughly, and in the end, the sea of qi really couldn't be too stressed, and subconsciously made this kind of self-protection measure. ”
Ye Hua thought about everything for a while, but he still couldn't think of an answer, "Since it is the seal generated by my own subconscious, it stands to reason that I should be able to unlock it myself, why can't I move this seal at all with my own consciousness now!"
The more Ye Hua tried the seal, the more strange he felt, the more he couldn't understand it, he had a discerning eye and could see through everything, but the seal in his body couldn't see through.
Since I can't figure it out, I have to meditate with peace of mind. Time passed quickly, and seeing that the sky outside the window was hazy and bright, Ye Hua knew that it was already morning.
Not long after the cell boss delivered the meal, a group of officers and soldiers came in from outside the prison, and one by one they carried steel swords to show off their might, and they opened the cell door one after another, angrily reprimanding the people locked in the prison.
"Hurry up, don't be lazy, it's time, start work!" the officers and soldiers urged those people impatiently.
"Start work?" Ye Hua didn't understand what the situation was, "Are you going to go to the palace to do things when you're locked up here? The palace is not a factory, what can these people do?"
The people in the prison also reluctantly stood up, and followed the officers and soldiers out of the cells one by one.
"New here, you too, come out quickly!" one of the officers and soldiers opened the cell where Ye Hua was, and he yelled at Ye Hua, "Hurry up, I want you to look good if you lose time!"
Ye Hua didn't say much, and hurriedly followed out, he finally understood what the person said to him before, why he would know it when the time came, it seemed that now was the time for the person to say it.
Ye Hua followed everyone and walked out of the dungeon under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, and when he came out of the gate, he found that this was a garden, and the garden was full of flowers, flowers, and many strange flowers and plants.
"I can't imagine that there is such a place. Ye Hua himself was full of emotion, who would have thought that there would be a dungeon under such a garden. "There is also a dungeon in the Tianxuan Kingdom Palace, which is designed to hold palace maids and guards who make mistakes, and it seems that this place should also be used for this purpose. ”
"Let's go!" Seeing that Ye Hua was hesitant, the officers and soldiers urged impatiently.
Ye Hua had to take care of his thoughts and follow the person in front of him to walk forward, but even so, he was still paying attention to the situation around him, and Ye Hua used his discerning ability to observe this place quietly.
"This is indeed the Imperial Palace, and the abnormal spiritual power that I felt before is even stronger here. Ye Hua thought at first that that kind of spiritual power came from a strange beast, but after a close battle with a strange beast, he found out that he was wrong, and the strange beast did not have this abnormal spiritual power.
"But now I feel that spiritual power is getting closer and closer to me. Ye Hua found that even if he didn't need discernment, he could feel it clearly.
Ye Hua followed forward, and after passing through several corridors, they were taken to a palace, which was a particularly huge stone building, with a high circular roof, a spacious palace gate, and a huge dome carved with various strange beasts, all of which showed miraculous power everywhere.
"I heard that this palace was the palace of the Western Night Kingdom back then, and this palace can already be comparable to the Xuantian Palace of the Xuantian Kingdom, which shows how strong the national strength of the Western Night Kingdom was back then. Even Ye Hua, a person who has seen a lot of the world, can't help but admire.
"What kind of work can be done here?" Ye Hua was even more puzzled at this time, could it be that such a brilliant palace was actually a factory, and Ye Hua himself didn't believe that he would have such an idea.
However, when he entered the main hall, Ye Hua was completely attracted by the things in front of him, he looked at it carefully, and the shock in his heart was no less than when he saw the palace just now.
"What is this?" Ye Hua couldn't understand what was in front of him, it was a huge cylindrical building, standing tall in the middle of the main hall, bursts of white light were emitting from the circular opening above, and wooden stairs and shelves were built outside the column for people to climb the column.
"Hurry up, don't rub it off!" The officers and soldiers urged when they saw that Ye Hua had not left, Ye Hua had already seen many people climbing up the stairs to the cylindrical building at this time, and he also followed up.
"This is?" Ye Hua walked up the stairs on the periphery, and when he reached the top of the column, he realized that there was a hole in the column, "If I guessed correctly, this is a well, it is such a huge well, what are they doing underneath." ”
Ye Hua found that there was a ladder to go down to the well after they reached the column, and those officers and soldiers didn't say much, so they urged Ye Hua and them to go down, but those officers and soldiers only stood on the column and had no intention of going down.
Ye Hua looked at the fierce expressions of the officers and soldiers, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to escape the beating if he didn't go down.
"Put this on your back, and you see how they do it, and you follow. The officers and soldiers gave Ye Hua a basket, and Ye Hua took the basket and slowly walked down the stairs to the bottom of the column.
"The spiritual power here is extremely incomparable, very intense, but it is completely different from the spiritual power we usually cultivate. Soon, as soon as Ye Hua reached the bottom, he could feel the spiritual power in the air here, "This place is even more spacious than I believed just now, and this should be the underground directly below the main hall." ”
Ye Hua looked around, the whole underground is not deep, but it is very large, this place is like an underground square, around the square is a circle of doors of about the same size, and those who go down to the underground are arranged to enter the various doors.
"You're the new guy just now, hurry up and come with me and don't be lazy. When Ye Hua was at a loss for what to do, a person walked up, and Ye Hua knew at a glance that the other party was the one who answered his words in the middle of labor.
"Come with me. The man led Ye Hua to one of the doors, "If you can't complete the task today, be careful that you don't have any food at night, maybe you will be severely punished." ”
"What are we doing here?" Ye Hua didn't understand the situation, he asked the other party, "Hello, my name is Ye Hua, may I ask what the eldest brother is called?"
"My name is Aaron. The man replied.
"Big brother doesn't look like a Xibei person?" Ye Hua saw the other party's appearance clearly, this young man named Yaren was much older than Ye Hua, thin and tall, I don't know if it was because of long-term fatigue, and obviously felt that his mental state was not good.
"I'm not from Xibei, I was caught after I strayed into the forest. The man smiled wryly, "That's how many people here were arrested. ”
"What are you doing here, moving things?" Ye Hua looked at his back basket, he couldn't figure it out.
"I've been there for a long time, you come with me. Yaren led Ye Hua into one of the doors.
After entering this door, there was a long passage, the passage was not big, and there were just two people coming and going side by side, maybe it was very hot in the passage because of the underground, and Ye Hua didn't take two steps before the beads of sweat flowed down. Soon they were out of the passage, and the light at the end of the passage was getting worse and more dazzling than the one they had just seen at the mouth of the cylinder.
"What is this!" Ye Hua walked out of the passage and found that at the end of the passage was a not small room, which contained a device that he had never seen before, and it seemed that there were quite a few pipes inserted into the ground.
"Here it is, there are white hedrons that crystallize out of that device, and you put them in a basket and carry them out. Yaren pointed to the equipment and said to Ye Hua.
"White spars?" As he spoke, Ye Hua found that the door of the equipment suddenly opened, and after the door opened, he could see that there were many white spars inside.
