Guan De shouted loudly. Liu Xin, who was already beating Lei Chuanchang, heard this sound and at the same time heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.

He ducked out of the way, and Guande and his bay-red horse came directly in front of Lei Chuanchang.

There was no need for Guan De to take action at all. The maroon horse stood up and hit Lei Chuanchang's chest hard with its two front hooves.

Boom!

Guan De's face changed slightly when he heard this sound.

The other party was actually wearing a pair of goggles!

Although this kick did not severely damage the opponent, the huge impact still made Lei Chuanchang fly high.

It hit a stone wall directly behind him.

The stone wall exploded, and Lei Chuanchang fell to the ground with a rebound, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Although this blow seemed to explode, in fact Lei Chuanchang was blocked by a heart guard, and at most he was only slightly injured.

Therefore, after he got up, he turned around and left without saying a word. He was very fast, giving Guan De and Liu Xin no chance to pursue them.

Guan De and Liu Xin actually didn't want to really catch up.

In no time, the two groups of people left cleanly.

Guande dismounted and checked the injuries of his three companions. They were in good condition and could continue to move, but it was a little dangerous.

"You can only wait where you are. You are injured, so don't force yourself to continue. If you stay here, you don't have a gold medal on your body, and others won't do anything to you."

After Guan De ordered his companions, he turned around and saw Liu Xin looking at the big hole made by Lei Chuanchang.

"Brother Guan, your Qinglong Yanyue Sword looks very heavy. Can you do me a favor?"

Liu Xin touched his chin and looked at the big hole, then turned to look at Guande and asked.

Guan De didn't understand what the other party meant, but he still nodded. The other party had just done him a big favor, and it was appropriate for him to come back with help now.

So he punched the Qinglong Yanyue Sword on the ground with a bang.

It's really heavy.

Liu Xin turned his attention to the big hole again.

Because he did not close the properties panel, the scene that appeared in front of him now shocked him.

[Name: Tiansha Sword

Level: Excellent +

Inheriter: Situ Liu

Evaluation: A legendary weapon of this era, containing a bloody heroic epic.

Note: Special items, after exploration, you will get a low-end system reward*1]

Liu Xin never expected that an item or a weapon would have an attribute panel.

Since there is a property panel, it means that things are below, so the entrance is most likely the big hole in front of you.

"Brother Guan, please help me open this cave!"

Although Guande was confused, he still did it.

With the blade of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and with the power of Guan De Heng Lian Dacheng, he easily expanded the hole to a size large enough for one person to pass through.

Liu Xin leaned out, looked inside, and found a dark hole leading downwards.

A dark and deep cave, like a gaping mouth, awaits ignorant intruders.

Guande also saw the entrance of the cave, and he asked with some surprise:

"Isn't this hole the trap Weng Bingliang mentioned?"

Liu Xin shook his head and said: "

Who could such a secret mechanism be used to deceive? "

"That's true." Guande thought for a moment and nodded.

"But Brother Liu, do you want to go down and have a look?"

Liu Xin nodded.

Then, without saying much to Guande, he put his hands on the entrance of the hole and with a little force, he fell into the hole.

The cave is filled with tangled weeds and cold rocks.

Some of these rocks were rolled down when the cave entrance was dug, and some were here a long time ago.

Because there is wet moss under some rocks.

Liu Xin stood at the entrance of this cave. The downward angle of the entrance was very dangerous, and he would slip down if he was not careful.

The cave was filled with moisture and a faint fishy smell.

Liu Xin felt it for a moment, but did not feel any discomfort. The smell should not be toxic.

"Okay, I'm going down first."

He has seen Guande's attribute panel and can basically confirm that he is a trustworthy person.

Of course, he doesn't just trust other people so casually, because he believes that facing such an unknown cave, especially in a place with magical legends like Xuanliu Town.

As long as Guande is a warrior who yearns for exquisite weapons, he will definitely not be able to endure this temptation.

Sure enough, Guande said:

"Brother Liu, how about you let me go down with you?"

Liu Xin got what he wanted and nodded.

Then he stopped talking. His eyesight was excellent, and there was a faint fluorescence in the cave.

Liu Xin has seen that the depth of this hole is only a few meters.

He jumped up, and the width of the hole was particularly large. He could see the thick wooden piles buried deep in the soil at both ends of the hole.

This is definitely a man-made hole.

There might be a secret room down there.

Liu Xin jumped down first and slid down a sloping tunnel. As expected, he reached the bottom only about ten meters away.

After stepping on the ground, Liu Xin roared upward.

Guande understood immediately. He left the Qinglong Yanyue Sword outside, took a short sword himself, and jumped into the tunnel as well.

Ten meters deep underground, the tunnel becomes narrow, but it is still barely enough for a person to pass through.

Liu Xin walked ahead and found that the tunnel was getting wider and wider.

This direction should be toward the east.

Why does everything in this ancient city seem to be facing the east?

Liu Xin walked forward, Guan De was behind him.

"Brother Liu, how did you find this place?"

“I smelled a damp, rotten smell at the entrance of the cave.

This kind of taste is ordinary, only this kind of authentic taste can be found. "

"I see, why can't I smell it?"

Liu Xin did not answer this question but talked about another thing.

"Brother Guan, have you ever heard that two exquisite weapons are buried here?"

"Yes, I even know the story of this border town."

Guan De said in a deep voice.

Liu Xin did not expect that Guan De actually knew the story of this border town.

On the way here, Huangfu Rongjiang had the opportunity to tell him.

But later because of the mysterious death, everyone parted ways and stopped talking.

At this time, Liu Xin became interested and asked Guan De about the origin of the story.

Guan De simply told the story.

It is said that it was the year before the new dynasty of Zhengyang Kingdom was established.

Emperor Wuyang and several other princes besieged the last northern barbarian Rentian Khan outside the imperial capital.

All the attacking armies agreed with each other who could enter the imperial capital first, who could kill Tian Khan first and find the imperial seal.

Whoever can become the new emperor of Zhengyang.

So the armies began to fight openly and secretly.

Faced with the military towns deployed by Manchengke, the Northern Barbarian State Counselor, many vassal kings' armies chose to bypass them.

Only Emperor Wuyang discovered the plan of State Master Man Chengke.

The latter wanted to take advantage of the discord between the armies of these feudal kings to launch a final counterattack.

The key to this counterattack lies in these military towns.

Once all the vassal kings' armies have bypassed these inconspicuous military towns, the Northern Barbarian soldiers hidden in these military towns will appear to attack the vassal kings' backs.

By then, with enemies on both sides, the Northern Barbarian Kingdom may still be able to fight.

However, Emperor Wuyang did not fall for the trick. He not only surrounded these military towns, but also began to uproot them one by one.

The last one is Xuanliuzhen.

Manchengke, the Northern Barbarian national master, set up the last formation here.

Emperor Wuyang sent his first general Situ Liu to attack Xuanliu Town.

At the same time, Emperor Wuyang sent a group of capable soldiers to bury black powder underground in Xuanliu Town.

When the Northern Barbarian State Master Man Chengke and Situ Liu continued to fight and the two sides were in a stalemate, Situ Liu wrote a secret letter on the battlefield.

It said that when he attacked with all his strength to hold back Mancheng, he asked Emperor Wuyang to light the black powder.

Directly blow up Xuanliu Town into rubble.

Later Emperor Wuyang did so.

Xuanliu Town was really in ruins.

Finally, Emperor Wuyang ascended the throne and ordered the entire Xuanliu Town to be sealed off, preventing anyone from entering or exiting.

It was not until decades later that this rule gradually declined.

Until now, no one cares about it here.

In the next hundred years or so, countless people wanted to dig out Situ Liu and Man Chengke's weapons here.

But everyone returned in vain.

Therefore, now the number of people coming here has become very rare.

After listening to Guan De's story, Liu Xin had a vague guess that the tunnel in front of him might have been specially built by Emperor Wuyang.

Because this place has been blocked for decades.

If Emperor Wuyang wanted to do something here, it would be extremely convenient.

While Liu Xin and Guan De were chatting, Liu Xin suddenly felt that the surroundings, which were so dark that he couldn't see anything, suddenly became brighter at a certain moment.

Especially the front.

"It seems we've reached the exit ahead."

Liu Xin walked forward cautiously.

They were very careful along the way.

There might be some kind of trap in this tunnel.

The tunnel is too narrow, and if there is any crisis, it will not be easy to hide even with their cultivation.

At that time, we can only bear it hard.

But there are some traps that even Dacheng realm warriors cannot resist.

Liu Xin counted his steps carefully along the way.

They walked probably more than five hundred steps, which was not too far.

Soon, Liu Xin came to the end of the tunnel.

In front is a stone wall.

Liu Xin tried to push and found that it was very heavy, but it was not a door of death that could not be pushed.

Guande stepped forward, and the current passage could barely accommodate two people standing side by side.

Liu Xin and Guan De used their strength together, and the stone door was slowly pushed.

After the stone door opened a relatively large gap, Liu Xin looked inside. It was still gray inside, and he could roughly tell that it was a secret underground hiding cave.

But I can't see clearly the specific furnishings inside.

The next moment, a ball of fire suddenly lit up around him.

Liu Xin was startled. There would be problems if there was an unauthorized fire underground.

But Guande had already lit the fire.

This person's experience in the arena is still somewhat lacking.

Liu Xin came to a conclusion about Guande.

I saw Guan De holding the fire folder and Liu Xin could see clearly the layout inside with the faint light of the fire.

"Why does this place look a bit like..." Guan De felt that the furnishings in this secret room were familiar, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Liu Xin could tell it at a glance.

"The furnishings here are like a Datong shop in a military camp.

It seems that this should be a hiding cave. "

"Where can the cave for hiding soldiers be dug so deep?" Guande clicked his tongue in surprise.

Although this sentence was a question, he agreed with Liu Xin's words.

Because he has already remembered.

Although he held a position, he had never performed official duties.

It was entirely for this Zhengyang martial arts competition that he was given a temporary identity.

But even so, when he first came to the imperial capital, he had been to the military camp and saw similar places like this, so he had the slightest memory.

Relying on the light of Guande's Huozhezi, Liu Xin began to search in this small space.

In fact, there is not much in this space.

There were only some bottles and cans and a wooden shelf on the wall.

It looks like it should be a weapons rack.

But there was nothing up there.

Liu Xin turned around and looked around but didn't find anything that had any clues.

This put him in a difficult position. He had an attribute panel, so he knew that this must be related to that exquisite weapon.

But for a while he couldn't find it.

Guande also walked around this space several times, but found nothing of value.

Except for a large stone pavilion, there are only some bottles and cans.

Even a book. Not a shred of fabric.

The weapon rack on the wall was also moldy and rotten.

It will probably fall off if touched.

Liu Xin and Guan De stayed in this room for a while without any clues, so they decided to go back.

On the way back, Liu Xin suddenly realized that they had been heading east when they came, but now when he walked out of the secret room, he had a vague feeling that the direction he was walking was also east.

When you come in, you are facing east, and when you go out, you are still facing east. This is definitely a problem.

Liu Xin walked forward while thinking about why this happened.

Suddenly Liu Xin felt the ground loosen under his feet, and he stopped immediately.

Guan De noticed something, turned around and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Liu Xin pointed at his feet.

At this time, the fire in Guande's hand was almost extinguished, and the fire was very weak.

But Guande still saw with the faint firelight that there was a depression under Liu Xin's feet that was obviously different from the ground.

What mechanism did you step on?

Liu Xin said to Guan De: "Brother Guan, you go first."

Guande shook his head, squatted down, carefully put the fire folding tube up and took a picture.

"You and I came down together, how can I go up alone?"

Guande then began to examine the depression.

But after a long time, he still found nothing.

"I can't see this mechanism."

Liu Xin was suddenly speechless.

Of course I know, you can't see it, otherwise, why would I let you go?

Can't I tell when you're gone?

"Brother Guan, you'd better go out first.

I should be fine if I stand here, but if I let go, if there is any mechanism, we both have to explain here. "

Guande still looked like he didn't want to leave.

Liu Xin talked for a long time before Guan De agreed to go up and find helpers first.

In fact, for a mechanism like this, you only need to find a wooden stick to hold it up. This tunnel is not too high to begin with, and Guande believes that he can find suitable wood.

Say so, Guande started walking towards the top of the tunnel.

When Guande walked away, the fire on his body had also been extinguished.

Liu Xin leaned down directly, and with his strength, he could barely see the depression below.

He drew out the Path-Breaking Sword and used the sharp edge of the Path-Breaking Sword to thrust directly into the stone slab.

After a little tinkering with Liu Xin, he discovered that there was actually no mechanism under the stone slab.

So the next moment Liu Xin carefully moved his feet away, but the dent did not recover.

At the same time, no traps were triggered.

Liu Xin listened carefully to all the movements in the cave. If any mechanism was touched, there would be a sound.

But now there is nothing happening, which can only mean that this depression was originally a deliberate deception.

But why set up such a blindfold halfway?

And they didn't find this depression on their way here.

The size of this depression is not too small.

If you couldn't guess when the two of them passed by just now, it really means that their luck is a bit better.

Liu Xin never believed in such luck.

He only believed in this thing, maybe it didn't really exist when they came.

Perhaps when they pushed open the stone wall inside, they triggered the mechanism here.

And this depression also appeared at this time.

With this thought, Liu Xin began to explore the walls on both sides of the tunnel.

When he touched the top of his head, he suddenly found a depression above, and there was also a relatively loose stone inside.

This stone can be turned.

Liu Xin thought for a while and turned the stone around.

Then there was the sound of the stone door moving behind him.

Liu Xin put the Dao-Breaking Sword in his hand, ready to deal with accidents at any time.

He is actually taking a risk now.

But Jianghu warriors are never afraid of such risks.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger.

So Liu Xin waited quietly for a moment and found that nothing unexpected happened, so he started to walk back.

He counted his steps when he came, he counted his steps when he left, and he still counts them now.

This time when he came to a new stone wall, there was full surprise in his eyes.

When he and Guande came down, they walked about five hundred steps in total.

When leaving the stone wall chamber, he walked two hundred and fifty steps and stepped on the depression.

In other words, the location of this depression is in the middle of the tunnel below.

But now he walked back, but when he was about a hundred steps away, he touched the stone wall again.

In other words, this stone wall suddenly appeared in the middle of the tunnel.

Liu Xin tried to open the stone wall and found that the stone wall was extremely light.

It pushed open with a gentle push.

After pushing it open, the tunnel actually had an upward trend.

"Huh? Does it have to lead to the ground again?"
