Although the young prince did not tell him the specifics of Qishan Courtyard where the old witch lived, he did say that Qishan Courtyard was just walking east, so Shen Yi thought that Qishan Courtyard should be on a certain hill.
If he hadn't had the amber token given by the young prince, it would have been impossible for him to come out of the underground palace. Furthermore, Miao Jinchong's possibility of escaping alone without external help was almost zero.
Besides, Shen Yi is a contracted beast, and is completely dispensable for the art of sacrificial robes.
Therefore, it is easy to understand that there is only one guard in front of the underground palace entrance during the military competition.
But the old witch is different. She is a better sacrificer than Miao Jinchong. She meets all the conditions very well. This is the most important thing.
Shen Yi also learned from the young prince that Feng Dingzhang was a good father, if nothing else. His son had made a contract with such a useless god of life, and he did not say that he would abandon it, but still gave it to him. He also tried every means to find a suitable person for him to make his future brighter.
It can be said that Feng Dingzhang could accept his successful escape, and he could accept Miao Jin rushing out of the military camp, but he could not accept that the old witch was rescued.
In order to prevent this from happening, even if there is only a slight possibility, during the military competition, there will definitely be guards at the Qishan Courtyard where she lives.
Shen Yi didn't see any guards at the door of any building along the way. Now that he saw guards here, it was still to the east of the Huangshaping military camp, so he naturally thought that this was the Qishan Courtyard where the old witch lived.
Of course, he couldn't be 100% sure that this was Qishanyuan, but at least there was a high probability that it might be.
Dodging to the side, Shen Yi hid directly in a ditch, only sticking out half of his head to observe the entrance of the door on the stone steps.
There seems to be only one exit around here. If you want to enter, you must first lure people outside away.
But how to divert it?
Shen Yi looked around, and finally his eyes rested on a wooden house not far from him.
His consciousness swept over him and he saw that there were only six people within a hundred meters radius centered on him. Apart from the four guards outside the gate, there were two soldiers in the room. They looked like they were definitely slacking off.
After thinking for a short time, Shen Yi turned around and walked towards the back. In order to avoid being caught by the sight of the four guards, he made a long circle before arriving at the main entrance of the wooden house. Looking inside through the open window, it seems that there are just some sundries inside, and there is nothing worth mentioning.
As for the two soldiers who were sneaking around inside, Shen Yi had nothing to do with it. His eyes were fixed on a chair that was covered with a layer of dust in the room, and a purple light flashed in his blue eyes.
After releasing the Tianyin Wanling Explosion, Shen Yi ran away without saying a word. A few seconds later, an explosion sound came from the house. At that moment, the entire wooden house seemed to expand.
On the stone steps, the four soldiers guarding the door were startled by the sudden sound. When they came back to their senses, the four men quickly looked in the direction of the wooden house. They saw a large amount of dust spurting out from the window of the wooden house, mixed with Lots of sawdust.
After the explosion, there were two screams in succession. Obviously, the screams came from the two lazy soldiers inside.
"what happened?"
"Go over and have a look." The four of them looked at each other and immediately walked towards the cabin. But as soon as they took two steps, the cabin fell apart with a roar.
The four of them were immediately confused. How could such a strange thing happen?
When they got closer, one of them raised his hand. The others stopped quickly and looked at him. The man sniffed and frowned.
Originally, he thought that the Pili Pill had been stored in the house for too long, causing the gunpowder inside the Pili to become unstable, causing it to explode before the scene before him occurred.
But he just smelled it, and there was no smell of gunpowder smoke around the house. It was just that the dust raised by the explosion made the air here relatively turbid.
"That's weird, it's not a thunderbolt."
"What was the explosion just now?"
"I don't know. Hey, come here and lend a hand. First, take out the things inside and see what's going on."
…
On the other side, Shen Yi had already hid in the earth hook, hiding most of his body, and looked nervously in the direction of the wooden house.
After a while, two more soldiers came out from behind the gate, and together with the four people guarding the door, they dealt with the mess left after the collapse of the wooden house.
Soon, the six people discovered that the other two soldiers were hiding in the wooden house and were lazing around. The power of the Heaven-inducing Ten Thousand Spirits Explosion just thrown by Shen Yi was not very powerful, it was only level four, and the physiques of the two of them were not comparable to those of ordinary people. Yes, so there was no life-threatening danger after the explosion, but it was inevitable that they would be stunned by the explosion.
The two stared blankly at the faces of several people, unable to speak for a long time.
"Why are you here."
"There are two of you, what's going on with you two?"
"I...we don't know."
"What's going on here? You two better tell us clearly."
"what happen?"
"You're still pretending to be stupid, aren't you?"
"Did you just wake up?"
"I...we..."
Just as a quarrel began to start over at the wooden house, Shen Yi was not far away looking at the spacious entrance and shaking his head.
It seems like there's no one inside?
His senses could touch there, but not long after entering, he reached the limit of the extension of his senses. What happened next made his eyes darken.
There was some hesitation, but seeing the quarrels in the wooden house gradually subsided, Shen Yi knew that he could not wait any longer, so he jumped out of the ditch with all his strength and ran towards the door.
Even without flying, Shen Yi's speed when running like this should not be underestimated. He was as fast as a gust of wind when he went all out.
It turned into a black shadow and suddenly got in.
After running through the gate, he saw an extremely huge pillar. Seeing this, Shen Yi stopped suddenly, threw his long body to the side, and was leaning against the wall.
He took a deep breath and waited until his heartbeat slowed down before sticking his head out and looking outside.
Fortunately, none of the people who were cleaning up the mess noticed him, but one of them looked at the ditch where he was now, and seemed to notice something abnormal. Fortunately, not long after, this man lowered his head and spoke to Others worked together to forcibly drag a broken weapons rack out of the remains of the cabin.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Shen Yi retracted his neck and looked away.
The young prince said that there are secret guards in Qishan Courtyard, and there are many of them. This is not a big deal.
He released all his senses and scanned the surroundings without blind spots. Two minutes later, Shen Yi withdrew his senses, with some doubts on his face. His senses did not touch anyone. In the huge space inside the building, There is only one living creature.
However, doubts remained doubts, so he walked forward cautiously, trying his best to hide his body behind the screen. Even if there were secret guards who were not discovered by him, he had to ensure that the other party could not find him.
But Shen Yi was still overly worried. In fact, there were no secret guards here. He walked out from behind the building smoothly, and what he saw in front of him were layers of steps. There was no need to count them in detail. He could only judge the steps here with the naked eye. There are at least hundreds of steps, just like the scales on your back, extending up layer by layer.
At the end, he saw a tall tower with red bricks and green tiles, magnificent and magnificent. It was basically a palace.
Shen Yi stood there for a while, wondering what he was thinking.
According to what the young prince said, the place where the old witch lived was an ordinary courtyard, but it was just a little big. And it would not be an exaggeration to say that this one was a place for members of the royal family to live.
This... doesn't seem to be Qishanyuan.
Well, my luck is really bad.
Shen Yi immediately wanted to go back while the guards outside were still busy.
But then I thought, I’ve already come here, why not go in and take a look?
Thinking of these, Shen Yi finally did not turn around and leave.
However, after confirming that he was not looking for Qishan Yuan, Shen Yi relaxed and was no longer as vigilant as before. No matter how many people there were in the Huangshaping military camp, it was impossible to place secret guards everywhere.
Besides, at a glance, I could see from the first step to the last step closest to the tower in the distance. In the middle section, there was no hiding place for the hidden guards. Maybe I wanted to hide it well at night, but at this moment daytime.
Then I saw Shen Yi spread his wings and flew towards the tower in a swaggering manner.
While flying, he jumped hundreds of steps in an instant, and soon he passed through the tower. There were no accidents in the process, but after passing through the tower, there were longer steps behind, and at the end of the steps was another The magnificent palace is even bigger and grander than the tower.
But this should be the last building in the canyon, because behind the building, Shen Yi saw high cliffs.
The green pines and bamboos on the cliff are scattered and scattered, and the clouds and mist are shrouded, just like a fairyland, but I don't know why, as I get deeper and deeper, the atmosphere here starts to become weird.
He couldn't tell, it was probably a bit chilling. He vaguely smelled a very strong smell of blood, but after sniffing carefully, there didn't seem to be any blood smell around him?
Shaking his head, Shen Yi sped up, flew over the endless steps, and arrived at the door of the palace.
But after landing, his eyes narrowed, and the strange atmosphere became more intense, and even made his hair stand on end, as if there was something terrifying inside the palace.
"This isn't right."
Originally, he went directly into the palace to take a look, but now this situation made Shen Yi scared. He only dared to reach his head outside and look into the palace.
The interior of the palace is very spacious, but at the same time it is also very empty. Every piece of furniture is seen, and only thick pillars are arranged in rows to support the overall structure of the palace.
If there is anything really wrong, it is that the floor of the palace has two colors. First, in the front part when you first enter, the floor tiles are dark orange, giving people a very noble feeling, while in the deeper third of the palace The floor tiles turned red, like blood, which looked evil.
There is also a huge crystal suspended inside. The light of two colors of the crystal, red and blue, are flowing around each other. The red flow turns upward and disappears into the ceiling, while the blue flow flows downward and disappears into the ceiling. into the floor tiles.
Other than that, Shen Yi didn't see anyone, it was deserted.
Also, the atmosphere here is so weird, I'm afraid no one would want to come here.
Should I go in?
Shen Yi was faced with a difficult choice.
It was as if there were two villains quarreling in my mind. One of them said to himself in a seductive tone: "Go in, go in quickly. What if there is some unique magic weapon inside? Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"
The other person told himself seriously: "Don't go in, we don't know what dangers there are, so what if there is a peerless magic weapon? If you die, you will lose everything? Your life is still important!"
Shen Yi shook his head and stopped thinking.
He decided to go in and take a look first, without going in depth. If there was anything wrong at all, he would turn around and leave.
Thinking about it, he moved his limbs and stepped into the palace, and the faint smell of blood on the tip of his nose suddenly became stronger. This was not an illusion.
The smell of blood is real. .
The strange thing is that there are obviously no corpses in the palace, so why is there such a strong smell of blood?
Could it be because of the blood-red floor tiles?
Shen Yi wanted to get closer to see clearly, but at this moment, an accident happened. A black shadow flashed from above, and Shen Yi's eyes were immediately attracted.
He quickly looked up, but the next second, a man's face appeared in front of him, so close that Shen Yi almost kissed it.
He seemed to be stunned, completely motionless.
"Secret guard!" These two words flashed in Shen Yi's mind, and the man in front of him was wearing white clothes and a black cloak. He was holding a rope in his hand, hanging upside down like Spider-Man. Looking at himself.
After a while, the man spoke, with a puzzled look on his face: "Whose contracted beast are you, and why did you get here?"
Shen Yi didn't move and froze in place, seemingly frightened by the other party's sudden appearance.
"Humph." The man chuckled twice, his brows widened, and he obviously relaxed his vigilance.
It's just a contracted beast, nothing to care about.
As soon as his hand was released, he flipped in the air and landed firmly on the ground, saying to Shen Yi: "Go back quickly, this is not the place you should be."
After saying that, he put away the rope, turned around and walked away, but after taking four or five steps, he looked back and saw that Shen Yi still hadn't moved.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"..."
"If you don't leave, I will drive you away."
"..."
"Okay, it seems I have to do it today."
Shen Yi never responded, and the man finally became impatient. He turned around and walked back. A delicate dagger appeared in his hand. But when he walked back to Shen Yi, he seemed to have thought of something, and his movements froze. Looking at Shen Yi's ferocious face, there was doubt.
"Wait, I think I've seen you before..." He seemed to be trying to remember something. Soon, he remembered it and looked at Shen Yi, his expression changed greatly.
"Are you the Class-A Life God? Weren't you locked up on the underground altar? How did you get out?"
He exclaimed, and then heard a loud noise. Shen Yi, who was originally not much bigger than a dog, suddenly grew wildly. His animal face disappeared from the field of vision, replaced by the fine white scales on Shen Yi's chest.
Wow~
"I was just passing through."
