The person introduced by the intelligence dealer arranged to meet Guan Luoyang and Baitong on a winding mountain road seven or eight kilometers away from the airport.
White Copper crossed his arms across his chest and stood waiting on the roadside with no apparent expression. Guan Luoyang walked to the grass next to him and looked at the nearby mountains and forests.
A gray-blue convertible sports car sped by. A beautiful woman took off her sunglasses and opened the door.
Guan Luoyang looked back.
She wears a sports vest, a red jacket on her upper body, jeans, and translucent flat sandals on her lower body. She is quite tall, at least a head taller than Baitong.
"Is this the friend introduced by J?"
The woman flipped her wrist, and there was a card lying in her palm. On the card were the marks agreed upon on the Internet.
"My name is Lu Chunhua, from Lu You."
While showing the card, she glanced briefly at the two people opposite.
Guan Luoyang stood a little further away, but at least he looked like an adult, and the indifferent white-haired boy in front of him seemed to have an unusually mature temperament.
It's hard to tell which one is Mr. Tongbai.
Bai Tong also showed the mark in his hand and went straight to the point, saying: "You said online that you knew something about that underground palace and could provide us with help in this area, but you refused to specify the reward. Now that we have met, you can Let’s talk about this.”
"certainly."
Lu Chunhua leaned back, leaned on his car, and said with a smile, "On the issue of remuneration, interviews are more sincere. By the way, Mr. Tongbai's rating is three stars. Fighters should have no shortage of detection methods, about You can also see that I am just an ordinary person without any special powers?"
Nickel Copper was noncommittal: "If you are really an ordinary person, it will only make your cooperation less valuable."
"But can't it also make you two trust me more? An ordinary person will naturally have fewer things to ask for."
Lu Chunhua calmly put himself in a weak position while talking, "As for the value of cooperation, it has been pointed out from the beginning of the chat online that my value lies in my understanding of ancient culture and my knowledge. .”
She pondered and revealed something, "That underground palace was probably built by a big man who came from the Central Plains at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It would be very difficult to use brute force alone to try the mechanisms and traps inside."
"As far as I know, the group that Mr. Tongbai inquired about had already marched to the underground palace half a month ago. After three in and three outs, they suffered heavy losses, and then they found another group of people to conspire. I dare not say that it is possible. Crack all the traps, but at least it can help you find a way out of the puzzle and greatly reduce your loss of time."
Baitong fell silent, as if he was pondering and weighing, and did not speak for more than thirty seconds.
Lu Chunhua waited quietly, with no trace of impatience or anxiety on his face.
Guan Luoyang was watching the scenery and listening, and suddenly a voice came to his ear: "How about you come over and talk to her."
"ah?"
"Don't say 'Huh?' This is spiritual power transmission, she can't hear it."
This time there was a little irritation in his voice.
Guan Luoyang felt sorry for him and felt a little funny in his heart.
When he was on the Internet, Bai Tong typed like lightning and spoke sharply. Whether he was chatting with the information dealer "J" or Lu Chunhua, he was able to take the initiative.
But when we meet face to face in real life, we suddenly seem to be indifferent to communication.
"Originally, we were worried that the man would die inside and we couldn't kill him with our own hands. But from what you said, this underground palace is dangerous, but not enough to kill him. So why should we go in? We might as well wait outside and wait for their remaining soldiers. When the defeated general comes out, he will break out and kill."
Guan Luoyang walked over and took over the topic, "Our goal is to kill him anyway. It seems more worry-free outside. Wouldn't it mean that there is no need to cooperate?"
This woman goes around and around but refuses to tell her request directly, so it is reasonable to devalue her value in the cooperation and induce her to tell more information.
Lu Chunhua moved his eyes away from Baotong, looked at Guan Luoyang, and said with a smile: "If a group of notorious gangsters can fight against each other regardless of the cost, one can imagine how valuable the treasures hidden in the underground palace are. If he just waits outside, if he really captures the treasure, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds."
Guan Luoyang further asked: "Is your target that treasure?"
"no."
Lu Chunhua immediately rejected it, with a look of hesitation on his face, but finally said, "My goal is the Feng Shui situation in the deepest part of the underground palace. I want to use that treasure place to try to cure myself."
After she understood what she said, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "If you want to kill that group of people, you can, and if you want to take away all the other treasures in the underground palace, you can also do it. I just hope that we can cooperate to reach the deepest place and let me stay there. a period of time."
Guan Luoyang's eyes moved and he said again: "Have you not mentioned the same cooperation request to those people? If your knowledge is as useful as you said, they will want your help more, right?"
"I've already said it, they have a bad reputation."
Lu Chunhua said word by word, "And from J, we can learn that what happened after Mr. Tongbai purchased information several times is at least more bottom-line than that group of people."
Guan Luoyang glanced at Baitong, and when he saw him nodding slightly, he stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Lu Chunhua shook hands with him: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Guan Luoyang said: "We are leaving now. You can find a place to park your car and see if there is anything else to prepare."
Lu Chunhua quickly got back into the car, drove the car out of the highway, stopped on the grass, changed into a pair of long military boots, and carried a large bag from the car.
"My stuff is all in the bag."
The backpack, which was half a person's height, looked heavy. She could carry it with one hand. From the outside, she couldn't tell that there was anything wrong with it.
"I have used drones to investigate the entrance to the underground palace several times. It is true that cars cannot drive through. However, if we approach on foot, we must be careful not to be discovered too early by those who stay outside the underground palace and alert the snake."
"No need to bother."
White Copper threw the flying carpet, and four more feather arrows appeared in his hand. He recited a few vague spells and threw it out. The four arrows scattered and flew out, just hovering vertically above the four corners of the carpet.
The arrow shaft and arrow feathers were both black, dark and cold, but the arrowhead seemed to be carved from purple jade. The tip of the arrow gently pressed against the flying carpet, emitting a hazy brilliance.
"Go up, those who stay behind will ignore us and this flying carpet."
The three of them stepped onto the flying carpet one after another.
Lu Chunhua stepped on the carpet quietly and forcefully, and the carpet dented into an inconspicuous arc, which was extremely tough. As her foot relaxed, it returned to flatness. Then, her eyes fell on the four feather arrows.
"Huanming Purple Crystal?"
White Copper was controlling the flying carpet, flying from the winding mountain road to the mountain forest. When he heard this, he was a little surprised: "Do you recognize this kind of material?"
"I have read some related books. During the Song Dynasty, the Huanming Zihua Crystal first appeared in the world. It was refined into the shape of a flying sword by several strangers. It spread across the Zhongshi Taoist Army and defeated the Xixia Army's generals. Recover the land of Hehuang."
Lu Chunhua deliberately set up his knowledgeable image, looked at the hazy purple brilliance, and said a few more words, "Later, when Zhang and Zhong returned to the court, a demon assassinated Emperor Zhezong, and he fell off his horse in shock, and there was also the Duanwang Rebellion, etc. Wait, Zihua Feijian shuttled through these events, leaving a rich mark on the ancient books."
"Purple Hua Jing seems to be a natural mineral, but no one has ever discovered similar veins anywhere in history. All Purple Hua Crystals appeared in the world accompanied by some strange people. Therefore, some people also doubt that, This kind of crystal actually requires special secret methods to be extracted from certain common minerals."
Guan Luoyang listened with interest and asked: "What have the strangers who hold the Zihua Crystal done in history?"
If he guessed correctly, most of those people were probably reincarnators.
Lu Chunhua didn't know what he was thinking. He just thought he was interested in the secrets of ancient history and picked some of them to talk about.
After a while, a long and narrow crack could be faintly seen in the mountains and forests in the distance.
It seemed to be a mark of a crack between the mountains. It was narrow enough for only one person to pass. Looking down from a high place, there were many horizontal and slanting branches below, and the bottom was not clearly visible.
Lu Chunhua's voice when talking about ancient times was lowered, and he looked over there with some unconscious nervousness: "That crack is the entrance to the underground palace, and there are many people guarding it hidden inside."
White Copper took two steps forward and stood on the edge of the flying carpet. The seals of his hands changed, and the sword fingers of his two hands passed in front of his eyes, and his eyes glowed with a faint purple-blue halo.
Under these eyes, the obstacles of many debris in the crack were ignored, and the outlines of human figures emerged, walking and smoking in it.
"I'll let you go down first to set your feet."
Baitong took a low breath, grasped it with his left hand, and a long bow appeared in his hand. Three feather arrows in his right hand were placed on the bowstring.
These three arrows looked like ordinary iron arrows, but under the infusion of his spiritual power, there seemed to be a thin mist of light flowing around the dark arrows.
collapse! ! !
With the sound of a string, three arrows shot out in unison, and the weeds and vines disappeared into the bottom of the crack in an instant.
The spiritual power hidden in the arrow body was activated, and the three feathered arrows exploded silently, sending wood chips and iron chips in the shape of small arrows piercing and scattering.
The human silhouettes seen in the spiritual eyes shook and fell one after another, and no one had time to scream.
The bottom of the rift became even quieter, and there was no sound from beginning to end until the flying carpet landed and the three of them stepped on it.
Stepping on the dead leaves and floating soil accumulated over the years, I stepped over the corpses and went deep into the mountain, about sixty meters away. There was a slight open space in front of me, with gravel everywhere, and the sunlight falling like a pillar in the sky.
Inside the cracked mountain wall, there was a dark green copper door that was half pushed open.
