Chapter 151 The Lu family’s forbidden land, the moment of life and death
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. He 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 last 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 founding of the clan, and the exploration has continued throughout 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 it gently. Zhao Changhe was surprised to find that this wall could be pushed open...
Then they both covered their noses and backed away, their eyes widening at the same time.
Behind the wall are countless corpses, piled up in a mess. 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 they were afraid of leaking the secret, so they trapped and killed all the workers inside...” 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 dug in the wrong places, 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 pearls along the way, while the side roads are extremely dark and full of cobwebs.
It also made it easier for the two of them to explore this time, as they didn't need to walk through the maze.
Further ahead, we actually saw some stone houses, with traces 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.
Sisi looked at it and admired Zhao Changhe's previous deduction more and more. It was impossible to come to this place on weekdays. Only 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 for no apparent reason?
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. What this exploration wants to reveal 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 my head 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, you would be 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 said: "This old man is dying. He may only have a month or two to live."
Zhao Changhe didn't know how she saw it. Just when he was about to ask, his chest and back began to shake at the same time.
There is a dragon bird on its back, and the vibration is a 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 rushed forward... quickly.
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 a sword that struck his head. 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 lightning speed and weight, 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 clicked his tongue: "You are so brave, you are not unknown in the world..."
"Whoosh!" A dagger quietly pierced the old man's back.
The wind blew loudly around his waist, and Zhao Changhe took this opportunity to make a horizontal slash.
The old man finally couldn't 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 unblinkingly, and assumed a posture of continuing to attack without fear. The old man sighed: "Such a person... wears the clothes of a descendant of my family, but it's a pity that he is not my son-in-law... What a pity, what a pity."
Zhao Changhe also said: "To each other, the strength of the senior is definitely on the list of people, but it is actually hidden so deep that it is not even included in the troubled times."
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 you judge?"
Zhao Changhe didn't answer. Isn't it obvious? Yue Hongling and Chi Li 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 that Tang Wanzhuang felt when she couldn’t avoid it, otherwise it would be a waste of time, 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 secrets?" 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. I will have to kill you two first, and then go to the Tang family."
After saying that, he made a "choking" sound and took out the long sword from its sheath.
Zhao Changhe suddenly burst out laughing: "Stop bluffing, your strength is definitely not strong enough for a fierce battle. You probably lost all your energy even after the fight. You don't dare to participate in the fierce battle. You only dare to pretend here. Otherwise, you should have fought long ago." The sword killed us, but it can still do so much? I know the reason why your family chose this time to launch the plan. I bet you are about to die..."
"Whoosh!" The old man's eyes were full of fierceness, and he stabbed Zhao Changhe's throat with his sword: "I don't need a fierce battle to deal with you!"
He was not bragging. With this sword alone, Zhao Changhe could not see through the backlash. 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 last era is spreading around us again.
There must be a reason for the gold foil to vibrate. Combining various guesses about causes and consequences, the most likely possibility 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 the two of them could clearly see the surrounding scenery, sword energy and evil aura were everywhere, and the fierce murderous intention was a hundred times more terrifying than in front of the old man.
Sisi thought of a word she knew before: Sword Emperor.
This is the Mausoleum of the Sword Emperor!
Not under the Tiger Hill Sword Pond, but actually in the Lu family?
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!
