Chapter 916: Acting Separately
Wang Luochen's original intention of pretending to be a river god was just hoping to get out, and he didn't expect everyone to really treat himself as a river god. I don't expect them to listen to their own words and engage in peace petitions or anything. Therefore, after he left with Ningmu Haruko, he didn't pay attention to what the people behind him said and did.
Due to the special environment of the film world, although there are lights on the boat dedicated to the river god, it is dim a hundred meters from the shore. No matter how good their eyesight is, they can't see the situation clearly. Wang Luochen made peace with Zhuo Buqun here.
The three of them gathered together again, slightly discerning the direction with their divine sense, and walked in the direction of the Shadow God Temple according to their original plan.
Because it is an urban area, the streets and residents are lit, and it is not very dark along the way. However, in their current situation, they don't really want these lights to exist. That way, it will be easier for them to act.
But this situation is not impossible for them to overcome. It's just a matter of taking a detour and avoiding bright places as much as possible.
They walked all the way around the bend, although they walked a little more, but because the three of them were fast, it only took more than forty minutes to reach the Shadow God Temple.
The Temple of Shadows is not just a large hall, but a palace complex. There are thousands of large and small rooms. With so many rooms, if you don't know the situation, you can't find the hiding place of the Shadow God Bead one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it in ten days and half a month.
Fortunately, among the three of them, there was the daughter of Ningmu Haruko, the former patriarch of the Shadow Clan. The Shadow God Temple, where she has been playing since she was a child, is very clear. As for the location where the Shadow God Bead might be hiding, she could guess eight or nine without leaving ten.
Therefore, after the three of them reached the corner of the wall of the Shadow God Temple, she whispered to Wang Luochen, "The place where I took out the Shadow God Bead last time was in the main hall of the Shadow God Temple. There's a basement where the clan is dedicated to storing important items. However, the Shadow God Orb has already been stolen from there once, do you think Miki Linsen will put it there again?"
"Not necessarily. If they don't have a place to put it anywhere, maybe they'll put the Shadow God Orb there again. Wang Luochen smiled and said his opinion.
"The problem is that they have other options. In this temple of shadows, except for the place I just mentioned. There is also a place to hide treasure. Haruko Ninki explained.
"Oh, there's another place? where is that?" Hearing her say this, Wang Luochen couldn't help but ask.
"At the back of the main hall is a tower called the Tower of Askathon. It is said that it was built by one of our clan's most powerful ancestors. The reason why it is called the Tower of Asking Heaven is rumored to be related to one of his legends. Legend has it that his old man was extremely skilled at that time, and he felt that he could lead the Shadow Clan to challenge the Blood Clan and unify the two realms, so he wanted to start a war. But because he has great respect for the Shadow God, he went to ask the Shadow God before starting the war if he could win by sending troops to the Blood Domain. As a result, the Shadow God really gave it an oracle. ”
The Shadow God told him that the relationship between the Blood Clan and the Shadow Clan would always be one of master and servant, and that he couldn't change it with any effort. When he heard this, he was very disappointed, so he shouted 'injustice' to the heavens, and died of anger. In order to commemorate him and let the clansmen learn this lesson, the descendants built this tower to warn future generations that the relationship between the Shadow Clan and the Blood Clan is predetermined and cannot be changed at all. Whoever wants to change will surely anger the gods and be punished by them. It's been a long time ago. Later people probably forgot. Therefore, after the arrival of the Tyrant Star, the likes of Miki Linsen moved to subvert the relationship between the two races. ”
Haruko Ningmu told another place and told Wang Luochen the story of a Shadow Clan ancestor.
This kind of god's chatter, Wang Luochen didn't believe it. He guessed that the reason why someone in the Shadow Clan made up such a story was nothing more than to use it to stabilize people's hearts, and wanted everyone to obediently admit the relationship between the Shadow Clan and the Blood Clan, and not do what he thought.
He knew this in his heart, but he wouldn't tell it to Haruko Ningki. Because, from his point of view, it is a great benefit for the Shadow Clan to be able to accept the rule of the Blood Clan honestly and obediently not rebel. He didn't have to debunk the legend for what it really was.
He just sighed and said to Ning Mu Haruko: "I don't understand the matter of ghosts and gods, I only know that in terms of the power comparison between the Blood Clan and the Shadow Clan, it is very beneficial for both parties for the Shadow Clan and the Blood Clan to maintain an alliance relationship. It's better not to change it lightly. Okay, this problem will have time to discuss after we solve it for Miki Linsen and them. Now let's talk about it, why do you think that the Shadow God Bead is also possible to hide in the Heavenly Tower?"
On this issue, Haruko Ninki further explained, "Yes, Lord Regent. That's why I thought that the Shadow God Bead would be hidden in the Wentian Tower, because this tower was designed by the ancestor of our clan, and its internal structure is very complicated, and there are many traps and traps, so it is generally difficult for outsiders to enter. Even if you can get in, it's not easy to get out again. A place like this is certainly a great place to hide treasures. ”
Wang Luochen listened, thought for a while, and said, "What you said makes sense. This tower is indeed a good place to hide treasure. In that case, let's search for it together. Uncle Shi, what do you think?"
Zhuo Buqun is here, he is not easy to be arbitrary, so after he has an idea, he has to ask his opinion.
Listening to him ask for his opinion, Zhuo Buqun said: "Your idea is very good. Don't let go of all the possibilities. It's just that I'm afraid I'll waste some time. Let's go our separate ways. You and Miss Haruko go to the main hall, and I'll go and walk inside the Heavenly Tower. Won't we save time on both sides at the same time? Luochen, what do you think?"
"Uncle Shi, of course it's good for both sides to act at the same time. It's just that, listening to Haruko, there are many mechanisms in the Heavenly Tower. Can you go in alone?" said Wang Luochen worriedly.
"Boy, are you questioning Uncle Shi's ability? Do you want to have a game with Uncle Shi? Let's see which of the two of us finds out the Shadow God Bead first. Ha ha. Zhuo Buqun heard his worry and said with a smile.
Wang Luochen saw that his uncle was still interested at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Uncle, don't be joking. How dare I compare to you. Well, since you've said so, do as you say. Let's go to the main hall, you go to the Heavenly Tower. Whoever of us comes out first will wait by the Shadow God Monument next to the main hall. ”
"Okay, that's it. ”
Zhuo Buqun agreed, and in a flash, he jumped over the wall around the Shadow God Temple and started to act first.
