Chapter 228: Groping Forward
"Blueprint, what's it?" Shen Zhuoyu said curiously.
Su Caixiao explained: "On this paper, all the information about the main hall and the underground palace of the Ling Jue Palace is introduced in detail, and even this cave is marked. It's all craftsman's jargon, and it's normal that you can't read it. ”
"So how do you understand it?"
Su Caixiao smiled proudly, "This girl also grew up in the Ling Jue Palace, if she can't understand these, then it's strange!"
Shen Zhuoyu listened, pondered slightly, and said happily: "Cai Xiao, great, with this drawing, we may really be able to go out!"
Su Caixiao didn't know what he meant, thinking that if he could get out with this drawing, how could these people die here?
Shen Zhuoyu laughed and said: "You think, since these people came here with the design of the underground palace, they must have encountered something, and they had to escape through this passage as a last resort." That is to say, they must be different from us, we were plotted to fall here, and they came here on their own initiative to avoid some kind of threat from above......"
At this point, Su Caixiao finally figured out the crux of the problem, her beautiful eyes widened wider and wider, and she exclaimed softly: "There is a way to come here!"
Shen Zhuoyu nodded and said, "It must be so! You take a closer look, we only need to go back along the way they came, and we will definitely be able to escape from here!"
Su Caixiao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly studied the design drawings carefully, and sure enough, as they expected, in addition to the exit where they fell, there were actually three or four passages that could go directly to the underground palace.
"Ling Jue Palace is so powerful, counting the main hall that was destroyed twenty years ago, it is actually divided into three layers. There is also a dungeon under the main hall, and there is a tunnel under the dungeon. Su Caixiao realized it for the first time. Where she has lived for twenty years, she still doesn't know enough.
Shen Zhuoyu said: "I think it's more than that. This cave may be a half-finished product, and when it is finished, it will be the dungeon under the dungeon!"
When the two of them discovered this secret, they were both excited, and immediately did not linger, and Su Caixiao led the way to the nearest passage. Before leaving, Shen Zhuoyu did not forget to pull Su Caixiao and bowed respectfully to the pair of men and women three times. Anyway. They are both lifesavers for both.
As they moved away from the hole, the light dimmed again, and seeing that the design drawings were gradually blurring, the two had no choice but to stop for the time being, first spent half an hour noting the direction and distance on the design drawings, and then groped the inner wall, counting the number of steps to move forward, once they found that something was wrong. Immediately go back the way you came, go to the bright spot and look at the design drawings. In this way, the process is naturally extremely difficult, but fortunately, there are almost no forks in the cave. Shen Zhuoyu's memory is far better than ordinary people, and after a few walks, the progress is gradually getting faster.
And so another half an hour passed. After several failures, the two finally succeeded in finding the entrance to the passage.
In ecstasy. Shen Zhuoyu thought to himself: "It took us more than half an hour when we came, but it took more than an hour to get to this cave. Minus the wasted time, there should be an hour, so calculated, this place is about half an hour away from the place where we fell, we walk slowly, half an hour is only one or two miles at most......" so estimated, Shen Zhuoyu knew in his heart, if he went up from here, he should still be in the underground palace, and according to Su Caixiao, the design plan did indicate that this passage went directly to the underground palace, but the parchment was too long to see where it led.
As the passage extended, the two were pleased to find that the slope was getting steeper and steeper, which just showed that the passage was indeed climbing upward.
Later, the slope was almost perpendicular to the ground, and Shen Zhuoyu used Snow Hate again, and with his martial arts, although he encountered some troubles, he was also able to solve them.
Time passed, and the two of them walked in this passage for an unknown amount of time, until they suddenly encountered something hard under their feet, and the walls around them suddenly shrunk, and their length and width were less than one-tenth of the previous one.
Shen Zhuoyu laughed and suddenly straightened up, because the hard thing under his feet was a staircase paved with marble.
In the silent passage, only his joyful voice echoed - "Cai Xiao, my guess is really right, they originally wanted to develop this cave, but for some reason they gave up halfway, this halfway staircase is enough to explain the problem!"
"Okay, okay, you're smart!"
The two of them knew that the exit was ahead, and they were extremely happy for a while.
And at this moment, in the underground palace of Ling Jue Palace, Shang Yu dragged his seriously injured body after Shen and Su fell, and rushed to Xue Feng's residence as soon as possible.
"You, you, what do you want me to say about you, it's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" Xue Feng looked at Shang Yu who only had half his life left on the couch, and couldn't help but be angry and angry, his face was as ugly as a dead father, and the same rebuke had been repeated more than ten times.
Shang Yu's entire face was wrapped in white veil, and it was a little difficult to breathe, and he said bitterly when he heard the words: "Senior brother, this really can't blame me, I never imagined that that kid's martial arts are so high...... If it weren't for Bai Xiaolou's trap, I, and I might not have seen you now......"
Xue Feng listened to his angry voice, his face finally looked a little better, and said stupidly: "That's it, it's too late to say anything now, for today's plan, you should think about it, how to hide this matter in the past, speaking of which, I don't know how Ru Yuan's preparations are, and one day is the period of the ceremony, when people from all walks of life in the Ling Jue Palace will go up the mountain, and at that time, if Wan Lao Wei is still here, it will inevitably shake everyone's determination......"
Shang Yu hissed in pain and sighed: "Senior brother at this point, don't worry, among the seventy-two sect people, I have already contacted most of them, as long as these people support them, the rest of them can't make any big waves." But Senior Brother, isn't it safe for you to let Senior Sister deal with Wan Lao Monster alone?"
Su Xuefeng said: "We can't help with this matter, and it will backfire if we don't get it right, such as Mandarin Yuan and more than a dozen of her cronies, it is enough to put on a good show." ”
Shang Yu sneered: "Wan Lao Wei Ying I, I'm afraid that the festival will be lost, why don't we just take the opportunity to kill him?"
Su Xuefeng glared at him and scolded: "What kind of character is Wan Lao Wei, how can we discuss it and kill it casually? If you move this idea, in the end, you will only be defeated! I just hope that everything will go well, deceive him far away, and when he finds out that something is wrong and turns back, our major event has been successful, he is an outsider, and he is the old lover of the ancestor, and he will not be the enemy of our Ling Jue Palace." ”
Shang Yu sneered and said, "Senior brother's lesson is that I owe it to my junior brother. ”
Su Xuefeng sighed, nodded and said: "Okay, you can leave other things alone for the time being, the ceremony is approaching, whether the matter of the little junior sister can be delayed, the key is still you, before that, you must not let the master find you." Of course, this matter can't be let Wan Lao Wei know, if you let him know that you killed his precious granddaughter, even if you have ten lives, it won't be enough for him to vent his anger!"
Shang Yu smiled dryly, and said curiously: "Listen to what Senior Brother means, have you thought of a way?"
Su Xuefeng said with a smile: "This is not difficult, the little junior sister is used to leaving the palace, if the master asks, I will say, the kid who just came lured the little junior sister to escape, I, as a senior brother, did not stop it for a while, and accidentally let them run away, and now the senior brother Shang Yu has gone out to look for them, hoping to find them back before the patriarch's birthday ceremony." Therefore, you must not let Master see you, otherwise, Master will be suspicious when he sees your injuries. ”
When Shang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful! When I get better, I will pretend to come back from outside, saying that the kid doesn't know where he took his little junior sister, and I searched the entire Central Plains without finding it, hahaha...... Senior brother, you are so talented, it's a pity not to be a palace master!"
Su Xuefeng smiled proudly, noncommittal, but a cold glow lit up in his eyes...... (To be continued.) )
