Mu Lingtian was overjoyed. He squatted down and tapped the slate gently. The slate was not hollow, but very hard. It seemed to be a relatively large stone. Mu Lingtian's eyebrows showed a look of doubt and he knocked again. Although the several nearby slates were very strong, they were significantly different from the leaking slate. Mu Lingtian was sure that there was something wrong with this slate.
After searching for so long, he finally had a clue and a target. Mu Lingtian was a little excited, but the area had been searched countless times, and there was no mechanism at all. Mu Lingtian raised his head and glanced around, then stood up. , said to Mingyu and Ke Ling: "Get out of the way."
Ke Ling and Mingyu stood up and stood aside. Mu Lingtian also took two steps back slightly, raised his right hand, condensed a cold air, and slapped the ground.
There was only a muffled sound of "bang", and Mu Lingtian's palm struck the stone slab hard. A strong force shattered the stone slabs on the ground and lifted them up. They flew against the wall one after another. "Ding Ding" landed.
The floor in the entire corner was pushed away by Mu Lingtian's palm, exposing the soil under the stone slabs. Only the leaking stone slab was still buried deep in the soil and remained untouched at all.
Mu Lingtian withdrew his inner strength, and Mingyu and Ke Ling also gathered around, looking at the strange stone slab.
The stone slab is separated from the soil by a layer of iron sheet. Water flows into the ground along the iron sheet. It seems that this stone slab should be connected to some mechanism.
Mingyu squatted next to the stone slab, looked at it carefully, and pressed it twice tentatively. There was no movement on the stone slab, and then said: "I didn't expect it to be a mechanism! But how do you open this mechanism?"
Mu Lingtian squatted down, pressed his right hand on the stone slab, and slowly exerted force, but the stone slab did not move at all, whether because it took too long or for some reason. Mu Lingtian relaxed, took a breath, and then gritted his teeth. , the whole right arm exerts force, and at the same time the inner force of the right palm condenses, and a cold air suppresses the stone slab.
As Mu Lingtian's thousand-pound palm force pressed down, the stone slab began to move slowly. Mu Lingtian felt the strength of the stone slab and knew that his method was right. He then used a fierce force to completely press the stone slab in. underground.
Hearing a brisk roar, not far away, in the corner near the bed, a hidden compartment on the ground was opened. Mu Lingtian immediately stood up and walked over in two steps.
In the secret compartment, there were a jade pendant, two tokens, and several account books. Mu Lingtian knelt down and picked up an account book. Ke Ling and Mingyu also came over.
The Shenhuo Cult naturally has secret rooms where they keep account books and secrets, but after all, there are many people, and even the Shenhuo Cult will inevitably have traitors, so Di Chen will naturally keep some things carefully and try not to let others know about them.
These account books record Di Chen's secret transactions, and none of the account books indicate the reason for the transaction, and most of the account books are private transactions with people from all walks of life.
There are two account books among them, the most eye-catching one is that the account flow in the first account book is very large, and even some single accounts have reached 500,000 taels in silver, and all the transaction objects in the accounts are based on The code name is called. The second account book, although the amount is relatively small, is very ordinary and can be said to be the result of years of hard work.
Although Mu Lingtian and the others cannot fully understand these accounts, such large sums of money must be for some important events, and there is a huge amount of funds supporting them. Perhaps it is just as Mu Lingtian guessed. Di Chen secretly started to use his power against Xuanmen and Tianshang, but unfortunately, Xuanmen and Tianshang took advantage of them.
Mingyu looked at the account books in his hand in confusion, and said in confusion: "Why are these account books so strange?"
After reading these account books, Mu Lingtian felt that he was one step closer to the truth. He randomly threw the account books in his hand back into the secret compartment, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "If it's not weird, then it is really weird, let's go. , we are looking at other places.”
Mu Lingtian and the others walked around the back mountain of the Shenhuo Cult and found almost no other useful clues. It was already afternoon. After some troubles, the three of them walked towards the main hall and prepared to leave.
Outside the main hall of the Shenhuo Cult, four men in black were ambushing on both sides, and another man in black was ambushing on the stone wall of the gate. Moreover, two giant crossbows were set up on both sides not far from the gate.
However, these people actually came not for Mu Lingtian, but for Ke Ling.
Ke Ling's real name is Cui Yao. She was an ordinary farm girl. When she was a child, something happened at home and she was adopted by her aunt. However, her uncle was a gambler. After Cui Yao's aunt passed away, her uncle sold Cui Yao to a brothel. Cui Yao would rather die than obey. In desperation, the brothel madam had to teach Cui Yao musical instruments and make a living by performing arts.
Until more than a year ago, Ye Xun and several knights from the Jianghu came to a brothel to drink and met Cui Yao. Seeing that Cui Yao and Bai Ling were almost identical, Ye Xun redeemed Cui Yao's body and carefully treated Cui Yao. Training, let Cui Yao major in swordsmanship, not internal strength, thinking that maybe one day Cui Yao can come in handy.
Now Ye Xun knew that it was very difficult to get close to Mu Lingtian, so he had no choice but to use Cui Yao's trump card.
Although Xue left Mu Lingtian, she would never let any danger get close to Mu Lingtian. Ever since she learned that Cui Yao was following Mu Lingtian, she had been investigating Cui Yao's identity. Now Luoxue already knows that Cui Yao was sent by Ye Xun. The person who killed Mu Lingtian also knew that Cui Yao and Bai Ling were almost identical, but based on Luoxue's understanding of Mu Lingtian, if he told Mu Lingtian Cui Yao's true identity, Mu Lingtian would definitely let Cui Yao go. Go, and Mu Lingtian may never be able to take action on Cui Yao's face. This is absolutely fatal to Mu Lingtian, so Luoxue came up with this strategy, wanting to take advantage of Mu Lingtian's unpreparedness. Kill Cui Yao.
Everything was ready, and Mu Lingtian and the others had returned to the hall and were slowly walking towards the door.
Since the five men in black who were ambushing them were all top-notch masters under Luo Xue, and they had already made sufficient preparations. In addition, in order to prevent Mu Lingtian from discovering them, they were still some distance away from the gate, so as long as they If they were careful and didn't move, even Mu Lingtian would have a hard time spotting them.
Mu Lingtian strode ahead and strode out of the Shenhuo Sect's hall, followed closely by Cui Yao and Mingyu.
The five men in black who were ambushing were actually just to delay Mu Lingtian and create opportunities for others to kill Cui Yao. When they saw Mu Lingtian and the others stepping out of the hall, they all started to kill Mu Lingtian.
