The two of them stopped talking and walked slowly inside.
Zhao Changhe carefully observed the stone walls on the left and right of the passage, and felt that it must have been excavated many, many years ago. It was not a recent event, but it should not be as outrageous as it was in the previous era.
Sisi was also looking at it. She seemed to be more knowledgeable about this than Zhao Changhe. She frowned as she looked at it: "This was excavated in the past hundred years, and there are still traces of expansion. It has continued to be excavated over the years. It can be seen that the land The family has been exploring the secrets here, maybe since the clan was founded here, and the exploration has been through the generations.”
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Why didn't I see any new marks?"
"Here." Sisi reached out and tapped a corner of the wall on the right, then pushed gently. Zhao Changhe was surprised to find that this wall could be pushed open...
Then both of them covered their noses and backed away, their eyes widening at the same time.
There were countless corpses behind the wall, piled up in a messy manner. There are also clothes that are not rotten, and they can be seen to be coarse cloth clothes of civilian craftsmen.
"They hired workers to dig, and because they were afraid of leaking the secret, they trapped and killed all the workers..." Zhao Changhe quickly came to a conclusion and his face was very ugly.
No matter how dandy the Tang family is, they are not like this. Compared with these "aristocratic families", the Tang family is much cuter.
The two silently closed the stone wall and continued walking down.
The journey was quite long, and it took a long time to reach the end. It was much larger than the secret cave in Bailian Temple. That secret cave was only excavated in recent years. It took a whole family to explore this place for a hundred years.
Along the way, you can still see many side roads that were dug in the wrong place, but it is obvious that these side roads were abandoned after the correct road was discovered. The main road is paved with stone bricks and illuminated by bright pearls, while the side roads are extremely dark and full of cobwebs.
It was also convenient for the two of them to explore this time, as they didn't need to walk through the maze.
Further on, we actually saw some stone houses, with signs of people practicing in them. However, by this time, the people had left, and it seemed they had gone to the Tang family... which also made it easier for the two of them to explore this time.
Sisi looked at it and admired Zhao Changhe's previous deduction more and more. It was impossible to come to this place on weekdays, but now was an opportunity. The Lu family has been plotting against the Tang family for a long time, and they will definitely go out in force to kill the enemy in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that a third party would be looking at their backside out of nowhere?
The pace of the two people coincidentally became slower and more relaxed - there are stone houses used for practice, which proves that the core place is nearby, and some people can get some benefits from it, so there will be people practicing here. This exploration wants to uncover The answer seems to be right in front of you.
After walking around the end of the passage, a small hall appeared in front of me. I peeked out quietly and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged and with his eyes closed, facing the passage and facing the wall, as if he was in meditation.
What surprised the two of them was that there was no other passage in this hall. It was already the end of the trip, but there was nothing unusual about the wall the old man faced. It was just an ordinary stone wall. On the contrary, there was something strange on the stone wall behind the old man. The scratches looked like sword marks.
This scene left the two of them confused. If you said you were comprehending some ancient sword marks, then you were comprehending them while facing the sword marks. How could it be with your back to them? Besides, these sword marks look relatively new...could they be caused by himself when he learned the sword?
Sisi whispered: "This old man is dying. He may only have a month or two to live."
Zhao Changhe didn't know how she could tell. Just when he was about to ask, his chest and back began to vibrate at the same time.
There is a dragon bird on its back, and the vibration is an early warning of murderous intent.
The chest is made of gold foil, what is the vibration for?
Zhao Changhe had no time to think, the vibration of the dragon bird was fatal. He immediately grabbed Sisi's hand and quickly rushed...forward.
Sisi: "?"
At the same time that Zhao Changhe started, the old man opened his eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be an oriole here when I was a mantis at home. Now that you are here, don't leave... Huh?"
In front of his eyes was the flash of the sword, and the dragon bird had already struck less than three inches above his head...
The old man showed an angry and funny expression, and gently stretched out his hand to slap the side of the knife. Zhao Changhe struck with a lightning speed as heavy as a thousand critical blows, and was easily knocked off the path of the knife.
"I didn't expect that when you noticed that I had discovered you, your first reaction was not to retreat, but to attack!" The old man tsked: "You are so brave, you are not unknown in the world..."
"Whoosh!" A dagger quietly pierced the old man's back.
The old man's expression of dumbfounding became more intense. He seemed to be sitting there motionless, but somehow his body twisted slightly, and Sisi's dagger grazed it without even hurting the corner of his clothes.
The wind roared loudly around his waist, and Zhao Changhe took this opportunity to make a horizontal slash.
Finally, the old man could no longer maintain his composure, so he pressed down the blade with his right hand and stood up.
Zhao Changhe took a few steps back, staring at the old man without blinking, and assumed a posture to continue attacking without fear.
The old man sighed: "Such a person... is wearing the clothes of a descendant of my family, but it's a pity that he is not my son-in-law... It's a pity, it's a pity."
Zhao Changhe also said: "Both and each other, the strength of the senior is definitely on the list of people, and he is actually hidden so deeply that even the books of troubled times are not included."
The old man said calmly: "The Book of Troubled Times speaks based on the results after all... In fact, I haven't done anything with anyone for a long time, and I don't know whether I am a powerful person, so how can I judge?"
Zhao Changhe didn't answer. Isn't it obvious? Yue Hongling and Chili are definitely at the bottom of the ranking. Even if they are just a little bit close, they are not far behind. I wonder if they can deal with his attack so calmly. Cutting seems effortless. Maybe I haven’t really fought with them so I can’t judge, but this old man definitely belongs to that level, maybe even a little higher.
Fortunately, it didn't give me the same feeling as Tang Wanzhuang's finger that could not be avoided at that time, otherwise it would be a dead end, so just go to sleep.
But even if he was at the bottom of the list, it was not something he could handle at the moment... But Zhao Changhe surprisingly found that he had no fear at all, and his mind was clearer than ever before.
He spoke slowly: "Senior's family is doing big things, but with such strength, I don't want to participate. Are you really not afraid that the family's plan will fail and the clan will be wiped out?"
"Is this why you dare to come to explore the secret?" The old man said calmly: "Master Maitreya has arrived, and the Tang family is completely helpless. What else am I going to do?"
Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat and he sneered: "But Tang Wanzhuang is here too. Can Maitreya really defeat Tang Wanzhuang?"
The old man's expression changed slightly, and he said slowly: "Thank you for informing me. Then I will have to kill you two first, and then go to the Tang family."
After saying "choking", the long sword was unsheathed.
Zhao Changhe suddenly burst out laughing: "Stop bluffing, your strength is definitely not strong enough to fight in a fierce battle. You probably lost all your energy after fighting. You don't dare to participate in the fierce battle at all. You only dare to pretend here, otherwise you should have fought long ago." The sword killed us, but it can still be so twisted? I know why your family chose this time to launch the plan. I bet you are about to die..."
"Whoosh!" The old man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he stabbed Zhao Changhe's throat with his sword: "I don't need a fierce battle to deal with you!"
He wasn't bragging. With just this sword, Zhao Changhe couldn't see through the aftermath. He knew that no matter how he resisted, the next change of move would penetrate his throat.
But he didn't want to resist at all.
Zhao Changhe grabbed Sisi's hand and suddenly slammed into the stone wall the old man was facing: "But I know how to get you into a fierce battle!"
The stone wall that seemed to be a dead end suddenly rippled, and Zhao Changhe and Sisi disappeared at the same time.
The old man was angry and anxious, and chased after him angrily: "Die!"
Light and shadow shake, and dimensions travel.
When Zhao Changhe looked at things again, what he saw was the interior of the simple and solemn mausoleum, extending in all directions and full of atmosphere.
The air of the previous era spreads around us again.
There must be a reason for the gold foil to vibrate. Combining various speculations about causes and consequences, the most likely thing is that the stone wall the old man faced leads to an alien space. The sword marks on the stone wall behind him were scratched by the sword energy emitted from this space.
Zhao Changhe guessed correctly.
Before they could see the surrounding scenery clearly, the sword energy and evil energy were everywhere, and the fierce murderous intent was a hundred times more terrifying than in front of the old man.
A word she knew before came to Sisi's mind: Sword Emperor.
This is the Sword Emperor’s mausoleum!
Not under the Tiger Hill Sword Pond, but actually in the Lu family?
But looking at Zhao Changhe's expected expression...had he guessed it a long time ago?
I recommend a friend's book "I Have Many Substitutes" - when life is so difficult that you can't survive by cheating, you might as well make the cheat bigger!
