Chapter 111: The Homeland of the Bearded Guest(1/2)

As soon as Guan Luoyang crossed the portal, there was a dim corridor in front of him.

Before he entered, he had already used his ears to listen carefully for any ambush and where the enemy was.

With his current ability, once he concentrates, the sound of people talking within two or three kilometers can be heard if there is no cover on the other side.

If you are within a hundred meters, you can clearly hear your heartbeat, breathing, and tiptoeing footsteps.

However, until Guan Luoyang slowly walked a certain distance in the corridor, all he heard in his ears was an extremely faint and soft sound.

It seemed like people were talking, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron clashing, but it was so low-pitched and vague that when it came here, it was even harder to distinguish than ants crawling, let alone where it was.

The possibility of an underground palace built among the mountains and forests of an island with a diameter exceeding three kilometers is extremely slim.

Most likely there was some special arrangement when this place was built to weaken and isolate the sound.

The white copper next to him was not idle either. His flying carpet bow and arrows had been put away, leaving only a purple spar arrowhead, which he held in his hand like a pen, drawing dots.

Purple light spots spread into the air, but not long after, they returned to the white copper from the front of the corridor.

Baotong's face was unhappy: "This method can detect the breath of living people within a certain range, but there may be formations in this underground palace that will interfere with this type of method."

"So, there should be no enemies nearby, right?"

Lu Chunhua observed their reactions, took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack, put it in his hand, and folded it slightly.

The laminated glass tube inside the fluorescent rod is broken, and the chemicals flow out and react with the fluorescent dye inside, emitting light that is no less bright than ordinary household energy-saving lamps.

Neither Guan Luoyang nor Bai Tong needed lighting. Their eyesight was enough to see everything around them clearly in this level of darkness.

But for Lu Chunhua, with this potentially eye-catching light source, everything she saw became clear.

The corridors run parallel to each other, and the front is opened up and divided into two roads.

A huge colorful picture is placed across the boulder, separating the entrances of the two roads.

Lu Chunhua held up the fluorescent stick and moved closer.

The various colors on the mural all appear slightly lighter, not because of the retention of pigments, but as if they are made of metals of different colors, made into foils and pasted on the boulders.

Large and small, they are extremely delicate. It takes tens of thousands of pieces and how many craftsmen have worked hard to form such a picture.

The content of the painting should be in a hotel.

A stunningly beautiful woman with slim eyebrows was sitting in the room, combing her black hair that reached the ground.

Not far from the door, there was a man with a beard, a strong build, and rudely dressed, lying on his side with a log pillow in his arms, watching her comb her hair.

There was also a line of thick footprints next to the bearded man, extending from outside the door to his feet. It looked like he had braved the wind and frost and lay down on the pillow as soon as he entered the door.

The sun was shining brightly outside the door, there were a few towering old trees beside the road, and an elegant man rolled up his sleeves and was washing a horse.

The person who made the map was so ingenious that the picture posted on metal seemed to reflect the hidden anger and displeasure of the elegant man when he looked into the room.

The graceful way the beauty combs her hair and the rudeness and rudeness of the bearded man are also vividly displayed.

Lu Chunhua came close to the picture, looked at it carefully under the light, then took two steps back, looked at the whole picture, and murmured: "It is indeed like this."

Guan Luoyang looked at the painting and caught a glimpse of a few wisps of red silk looming on the side of the long skirt of the beauty with combed hair. If he looked closely, it looked like a red whisk.

An idea flashed in his mind and he said: "Could this be... the Red Fu Girl and the Three Fengchen Heroes?"

"That's right."

Lu Chunhua said, "This should be the scene when the three heroes of Fengchen first met."

When Li Jing was young and had no talent, he visited Yang Su, but Yang Su was content with his old age and refused to use him. Hong Fu, a singer in Yang Su's house, recognized the hero and ran out of the house at night to look for Li Jing, entrusting him with him for the rest of his life.

Later, when Li Jing and Hong Fu were on their way, they met a bearded guest by chance. Seeing Hong Fu's beauty, the beard looked rudely at the groomer. Li Jing was angry, but Hong Fu calmly resolved the situation. The three of them became sworn brothers and became known as the Three Heroes of Feng Chen.

It was the last year of the Sui Dynasty, with thirty-six rebels against the king and seventy-two wars going on. The bearded men originally wanted to compete for the world, but after meeting Li Shimin, they admired his spirit and spirit and felt inferior to him.

At that time, the rich man with the beard donated all his wealth to his adopted brother and sister, and asked Li Jinghong to assist Li Shimin and rule the world.

Guan Luoyang thought to himself: If the legend of the Three Fengchen Heroes in this world is similar to the one he has heard about, then the bearded man later traveled thousands of miles to the sea, controlled the islands on the sea, and was called the Lord of Fuyu. It would be similar to the underground palace of the Western Pacific Islands.

, barely able to establish some relationship.

Lu Chunhua said with some regret: "It's a pity that it's the bearded guest, not Li Jing, and he is not in the Donghua Ancient Kingdom. Otherwise, if I reported it directly, there would be a large number of strong reinforcements..."

While the two of them were talking here, Baitong had already gone to the two roads and explored them separately.

"There are no traces of people walking on those two roads, but the ground and ceiling are densely covered with traces of being swept across a large area horizontally."

"Those are the traces left when the machine was activated, the walls were shifted, the old roads were covered, and new routes were planned."

Lu Chunhua seemed to have expected it, and said, "I searched for books related to the Qiu Bearded Guest in the Legend of Tang Qixia, the Legend of Swordsman, the Fuyu Canon, and the Secret Records of the Five Dynasties Sea Kingdom, and sorted out the types of formations that the Qiu Bearded Guest is good at."

"If the expectations are correct, the two roads at the entrance actually have a total of sixteen different ways of changing and matching. They are in a mess. Once someone touches the mechanism when entering, they will be changed again."

Baitong said: "Then how can we find the route Luo Bense and the others took before?"

His goal was very clear, which was to invite Guan Luoyang to come with him to take revenge. He was originally straightforward, and the simplest thing, even if it involved this underground palace, his goal was unwavering.

Others don't care at all, they just want to pursue and kill their enemies.

Moreover, if the path taken by Luo Bense's group can be found, then the danger may be lessened if that group of people traveled the road before.

"This is not difficult."

Lu Chunhua held up her fluorescent stick, took a photo of the roads on both sides, and said, "There should be four hidden grids in each of these two roads to control the displacement of the walls."

"You two, each choose a path. If you can jump back to the nearest place from the farthest hidden grid, you can reverse the mechanism and adjust the route to the previous round."

Inside the two roads, there are square stone bricks laid on the ground, which are flat and neat, with small gaps and no clues.

"But you must be careful. In addition to the hidden cells that control the displacement of the wall, there must be many mechanisms inside that are designed to kill and injure people."

Lu Chunhua reminded, "Destructive mechanisms will be lighter and easier to trigger, while those concealed mechanisms will be heavier and require at least a few dozen kilograms of weight to trigger."

Since there is an obvious difference in severity, it is easy to handle.

Bai Tong was still hesitating, but Guan Luoyang had already started his Qinggong and chose the path on the left.

With his miraculous touch ability and hearing, the figure passed through the air. When the air flow filled the passage, it blew through different dark grids at the same time, bringing out indistinguishable echoes.

Under each square brick, there was solid ground. Whether it was sluggish or light, he could already hear clearly.

After he counted four sluggish hidden traps, he rubbed his palm against the wall, and his figure swept back without touching the ground the whole time.

Immediately afterwards, he followed the same pattern and walked into the passage on the right.

"The one on the left, counting from near to far, the first hidden grid is in the fifth row and third column..."

After Guan Luoyang pointed out the four hidden grids, he said to Bai Tong, "Let's do it together."

Baitong shook his head: "No, tell me the other four as well."

While speaking, Bai Tong took out his bow and arrow in his hand. After listening to Guan Luoyang's words, he pondered for a moment and stood a little further away.

Guan Luoyang and Lu Chunhua stood behind him.

I saw that he fired two arrows at once each time, shooting into the left and right channels respectively. He shot four times in a row, and the eight hidden cells were all touched by the heavy force of the arrows.

There was a dull sound coming from the walls and underground of the two passages. It should be that a large mechanism was operating, but the vibration was very slight.

This underground palace has a history of more than a thousand years, and its mechanisms can still operate so smoothly.

Bai Tong asked: "Do you want to take those arrows back?"

Lu Chunhua said: "It's harmless, it's the best you can get."

Baotong nodded, and the spiritual power that had been placed on those feather arrows in advance, followed the magic formula and drove the feather arrows to fly back.

The walls of the two roads moved in the same direction, temporarily blocking the entrance, but soon, the new entrance was revealed, and the wall moved to its rightful place.

The road on the right is still empty, but the road on the left has a lot of debris, all of which were pushed over by the moving wall just now.

There were burned flying claws, glow sticks, and two corpses carrying bullet belts and submachine guns in their hands.

One's skin was purple, probably due to poisoning, and the other had a small crossbow arrow nailed to the back of his head.

Luo Bense's group obviously took this road. They didn't know what the importance of the agencies meant, and they couldn't distinguish between them. They obviously paid a certain price if they wanted to pass.

Bai Tong took out the flying carpet again so that the three of them could fly through this passage.

The entrance to this underground palace is in a narrow mountain gap, but it becomes wider as you go inward. This passage has a space of three meters in the horizontal direction.

Lu Chunhua looked at the wall carefully on the side of the flying carpet, just in case there were any clues that she had missed.

Guan Luoyang was also observing these walls, but what he paid attention to was another aspect.

There is a lot of black ash on these walls, which seems to have been newly added, and there are also many messy scratches. If you smell it carefully, you can smell a little residual smoke.

I don't know what their mentality was. Luo Bense and the others may have dropped some bombs here beforehand, probably to blow up the mechanism, but they were not afraid of blowing up the passage.

But the fact is that they couldn't even blow up the mechanism.

These walls, which appear to be carved out of mountain rock using local materials, are actually extremely strong and unusual.

Guan Luoyang knocked on the wall with his knuckles, thinking to himself that he didn't know if he could directly break through these obstacles if he used all his strength.

I'm afraid that won't work.

If it could be penetrated, Luo Bense and the others also had three stars, so why would they lose their men many times?
To be continued...
