Chapter 174: Heavenly Emperor
"This map is so simple. Even if it's true, then the other party must have a purpose. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows, however, the final victor must be the hunter. With a slight flick of his fingers, Xiao Qingfeng analyzed.
"Don't play dumb riddles, be clear. Glaring, Li Yuxuan said.
"We just entered the Yongdao, what was the first thing they said?" Xiao Qingfeng asked rhetorically.
"The remnants of the previous dynasty!"
As soon as her eyes lit up, Li Yuxuan also understood. In fact, he has been in Yuanzhou for more than a year, and he has also heard the words Yu Evil of the previous dynasty, but he has never met it.
Although the previous dynasty died, the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven were not completely dead. For thousands of years, the remnants of the previous dynasty have been the henchmen of the five great families. They have been hiding in the shadows, organizing rebellions several times, although they have been ruthlessly suppressed, but they have been defeated repeatedly. Until now, the Fifth Family does not know the details of the remnants of the previous dynasty.
"You say, will the remnants of the previous dynasty allow the Fifth Family to get the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Nonsense, of course not!" Li Yuxuan shook his head, "If this fairy is a descendant of the previous dynasty, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Fifth Family at the most critical time." β
Pinching his chin, Xiao Qingfeng analyzed: "I suspect that Shangguan Qian is the remnant of the previous dynasty. He told me about the tomb of the Emperor. Perhaps, he just wanted me to intervene. β
"So-what do you want to do?" Li Yuxuan's mouth showed a wicked smile.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qingfeng leaned in and whispered a few words in Li Yuxuan's ear.
The smile on the corner of her mouth expanded, and Li Yuxuan nodded slightly: "Yes, it's the same as I thought." If you're analyzing it right, then they're going to have a back hand. β
After making a plan, Xiao Qingfeng and Li Yuxuan moved forward again.
This journey has been walked by the Fifth Family, so there is no danger. Soon, they came to the stone gate. Pushing open the stone door, there was indeed a stone chamber inside, and there were three passages as expected.
However, these three passages are very strange, and it is pitch black inside. Even with the eyes of Xiao Qingfeng and the others, they could only see the three feet around them clearly.
According to the map, the rightmost passage is correct, while the left and middle roads have mechanisms.
However, Xiao Qingfeng and the others still did not take the right one, but chose the middle passage. In order to confuse the people behind them, they also deliberately made some traces and eliminated some traces.
They didn't go too far, on the one hand, because they were worried that there would be a mechanism, and on the other hand, they had another purpose. From this location, you can't see the stone chamber, but you can hear it. After determining the location, he waited quietly
Their idea is actually very simple, if Xiao Qingfeng intervenes, it is the intention of the remnants of the previous dynasty to guide them. Then they'll definitely come to the end. And at this moment, Xiao Qingfeng didn't need to rush in, but waited for those people to go ahead. As long as you go to the end, you can control the whole situation. In case the situation is not right, it is also possible to retreat smoothly.
Xiao Qing sealed them for several hours. If it were an ordinary person, I really wouldn't have this patience.
"You can't guess wrong, right? I've waited so long and still haven't responded. β
Although she couldn't see anything, Li Yuxuan still glanced out. According to her violent temper, it is not easy to wait here for a few hours.
"I call it analysis, not guessing. The Fifth Family is there. Even if they get the inheritance, they will come out, and when the time comes, won't it be over?"
Xiao Qingfeng is not a pedantic person, if you really want to, what are you doing by abiding by so many rules.
Of course, as a disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, he must not be able to reveal his name. Now, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly wants to change his dress, his body is really a little conspicuous. This is really going to the realm of the Love Demon Palace, and it is simply a target.
"At this point, this fairy must admit that you are better than me. Quietly gave Xiao Qingfeng a thumbs up, and Li Yuxuan praised it from the bottom of his heart.
As a disciple of a famous and decent family, she may be able to fight for some ownerless things, but she has never thought of forcibly taking and grabbing things that have owners. If you are a decent person, you must have a decent style, and even if you want it, it is basically an exchange for that thing.
Among the disciples of famous and decent families, there are really not many people like Xiao Qingfeng who don't care about their faces.
"Shh
Ignoring Li Yuxuan's sarcasm, Xiao Qingfeng's expression froze, his fingers stretched out to his mouth, and he sighed.
When they were quiet, and listened closely, there was a slight sound of footsteps in their ears, which were so soft that they could barely be heard, and if it weren't for the silence of the stone chamber, they wouldn't have heard it.
Xiao Qingfeng and the two glanced at each other in the dark, and then cautiously looked at the stone room outside, of course, they couldn't see the scene outside at all.
Without making them wait long, the stone chamber door outside was pushed open. Immediately after, there was a sound of footsteps. Listen to the voice, it's two people.
After the two men entered, they did not immediately go to the passage on the right, but went around the stone chamber. I think it's supposed to be a probing environment.
After waiting quietly for a while, a voice sounded: "Big brother, it seems that those two little guys really followed the Fifth Family." I'll just say you're too worried, how could they think that there are people behind them. β
The voice was slightly deep, and it was obvious that it was said by a middle-aged man.
"It's better to be careful, and this time, you must keep everyone here at all costs. A slightly old voice sounded, this person spoke much more cautiously, and his voice was deliberately lowered, "You take a closer look at the passage in the middle to see if there are any traces of walking." β
"Big brother, you're really worried. They are only in the early stage of foundation building, and if they really follow this path, they will definitely die. What else are we looking at? I don't think we'd better waste our time, if we really let the Fifth Family break the formation, then things won't be good. β
Although he was reluctant, the middle-aged man still walked to the entrance of the cave, and immediately after, there was a sound of Suosuo. After a moment, the middle-aged man stood up and said, "There is no trace. β
"Let's go in and see!" said the old voice.
The middle-aged man sighed: "Big brother, alas! This time, the Fifth Family has made a lot of preparations, and they must break the formation." According to the family classics, that formation has disappeared in the past few years. If they are really broken, what face do they have to face the returning Ancestor?"
"Forget it, let's go!" there was a moment of silence, and the old voice sounded.
After that, there was a sound of footsteps. Listening to the sounds, though, they walked not on the right channel, but on the left.
"The landβ"
After making sure that the two of them were far away, Li Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and just spoke in a low voice, but before he finished speaking, he was suddenly covered by Xiao Qingfeng.
"Woo!"
Li Yuxuan shook his head vigorously, anger in his eyes. She has always been clean and self-conscious, and since she was sensible, even her parents and elders have rarely had such intimate contact, let alone the opposite sex.
"Don't move!" his lips were pressed to Li Yuxuan's ear, Xiao Qingfeng whispered, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, Li Yuxuan also noticed that something was wrong, and his body did not move anymore, but also stood up and listened.
After persisting like this for a full quarter of an hour, there was finally movement outside the cave, and the voice of the middle-aged man came: "Big brother, I'll just say that you think too much, those two little guys are the disciples of the big sect who think highly of themselves at a glance, how can they use these brains, let's go quickly." β
"If you really underestimate the disciples of the big sects, I'm afraid you don't even know how they died. The old man's voice also came, "According to Qian'er, that little guy has a lot of wisdom, so it's better to be careful." However, now it seems that he really has no suspicions, let's go. β
After the sound died down, there was a sound of footsteps, still walking down the left passage. After the footsteps disappeared, Xiao Qingfeng let go of the hand covering Li Yuxuan.
However, the two of them still didn't move, and after another quarter of an hour, Li Yuxuan said in a low voice: "It seems that the map is fake!"
"Probably not!" Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Qingfeng paused before saying, "From the traces, the Fifth Family is walking through the passage on the right. So, the passage on the right may have been explored by the Fifth Family. And the two of them should be the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they should have taken the safe passage handed down by the Emperor of Heavenly Oracle. β
"So how do we go now? right or left?"
This is a difficult question to choose, the path taken by the Fifth Family must lead to the formation. However, there may be unknown dangers along the way. The road of the two should be relatively safe, but they don't know where it leads.
"Follow the two of them, be careful. β
After thinking about it, Xiao Qingfeng still chose the left. Those two said that they wanted to keep everyone, and they would definitely not be able to do it with their strength alone. There must be something else, or perhaps, the path taken by the Fifth Family is dangerous.
Li Yuxuan did not object, pricked up his ears, and listened for a while, and the two quietly walked out of the passage and walked towards the passage on the left.
As shown on the map, the passage on the left has a mechanism, and there are many mechanisms.
But when Xiao Qingfeng and them left, they found that the road was smooth and there was no danger at all. Of course, they walked very slowly because they were worried about the ambush of those two.
After walking for about half an hour, a stone chamber was ushered in. In front of the stone chamber, there are seven passages, and inside these passages, it is still as dark as ink. On closer inspection, the two men took the second passage from the left.
At this moment, there is no chance to turn back, and Xiao Qingfeng and they can only go one way to the dark.
According to the map, they only need to go through three stone chambers to reach the outside of the formation. However, along this road, they passed a total of eleven stone chambers. Each time you pass through a stone chamber, there are more and more passages in front of you.
Eleven stone chambers, they spent a total of three hours.
"This is the twelfth stone chamber, where are they going?" Standing in front of the passage where the two walked, Li Yuxuan finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"It should be almost there, be patient. β
After speaking, he took two steps forward, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, for some reason, a sense of unease rose in his heart at this moment.
"What's wrong?" walked behind Xiao Qingfeng, Li Yuxuan asked strangely.
"For some reason, I suddenly felt a little uneasy. β
Frowning and saying, as he spoke, Xiao Qingfeng pulled out the sword behind him and vigilantly paid attention to the movements around him. Because only in this way did he settle down a little.
"You're thinking too much, what's the uneasiness here?" Having said that, Li Yuxuan also took out his green vine and glanced around vigilantly.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qingfeng proposed: "Or, do you count it?"
"If you are timid, you will say that you have come here, you want me to count it?" A trace of anger flashed on Li Yuxuan's face, "If you want to go back, go back by yourself, I will continue to move forward by myself." β
After speaking, Li Yuxuan didn't wait for Xiao Qingfeng's reaction, and walked directly towards the passage.
Seeing Li Yuxuan's figure disappearing in the darkness and tightening the sword in his hand, Xiao Qingfeng finally followed.
This passage was longer than the previous passage, and Xiao Qingfeng walked them for a full hour. Finally, a glimmer of light appeared before their eyes. The light was familiar, the same as the light emitted by the hedron in the corridor outside.
"Two little ones, since you're here, let's come in. β
Seeing the bright light, before Xiao Qingfeng and them could make a move, a voice sounded in their ears. The voice was not old, but very young, not the voice of the two men before.
Xiao Qingfeng and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's solemn expressions. Shaking their heads slightly, they did not walk out, but took two steps back.
"What, do you want Bendi to invite him personally?" The voice sounded in my ears again, this time, it was very majestic, giving people a feeling that it could not be refused.
"Whew!" With a long breath, Xiao Qingfeng touched the talisman on his chest and nodded slightly towards Li Yuxuan.
When Xiao Qingfeng and the two of them walked out of the passage, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
It is a stone chamber hall that can accommodate at least a few thousand people. In the center of the hall, there is a desk-sized stone platform. On the stone platform, there are three rolls of bamboo slips.
And on either side of the stone platform, there are two people. These two people, one is an old man in a gray robe with a white beard, and the other is a sturdy middle-aged man in a black robe. Come to think of it, they must have been the two people who had just come in from outside.
What surprised people was not these things, but a golden jade seal hanging in the air directly above the stone platform.
The jade seal was only the size of an adult's fist, and it exuded a mesmerizing golden light. The lower half of the jade seal is carved with the four elephant beasts and the unicorn beast, and in the upper part of the jade seal, it is actually carved with the head of a young man. The head was lifelike, and was no different from a living person except for its smaller size.
"Disciple of Yuanyang Sect! Disciple of Divine Ghost An! Not bad! Not bad! God treats this emperor well!"
Seeing Xiao Qingfeng and the two, the little head on the jade seal actually opened his mouth to speak. The voice is exactly the same as Fang Cai's voice, which proves that Fang Cai is what he is talking about.
"Emperor Ben?" After pondering for a moment, Li Yuxuan exclaimed, "You are the Emperor of Heaven!" (To be continued.) )
