Chapter 13: Finding a copy

The outer hall area is a key place for studying flesh souls. It is extremely strict. There are a large number of soldiers inside and outside to check along the way, but there are still loopholes to find.

Although this is an old imperial city, it has long been abandoned after all, and various defensive magic arrays have long been incomplete. Although they have been rebuilt to protect the secrets, they are still much inferior to the defense mechanism at the real imperial city level.

Moreover, although Fang Ling's current cultivation level is only at the beginning of the Golden Pill stage, with his transcendent five senses and strength, it is not difficult to hide and sneak among the soldiers who are full of cultivation in the Golden Pill stage. Moreover, the entire outer hall area is very large. Even if there are more than two thousand soldiers, there are only a part of the place to guard. The two of them entered the inner palace without much effort.

The vast palace complex stands tall, like hills. Although many places were damaged by the previous war, the momentum was still imminent. The layers of palaces and stone walls were filled with a thousand-year-old style.

According to the map of Deputy General Che in memory, the two quickly found the location of the classic library, and then followed the classic library to the backyard of the fourth side hall next to the periphery.

The yard gate was tightly closed, with locks on it, which were covered with dust. As soon as the two of them stood on tiptoe, they fell lightly into the yard. The yard was spacious, with stone tables and chairs scattered on the ground, and there were traces of being plowed by sharp objects on the ground, full of force, horizontal and vertical.

"This is the residence of Huo Yunliang in the record. There are five rooms in the entire courtyard. The large room in the middle is Huo Yunliang's residence. There are more than a dozen guards living in two rooms on the left and right." Fang Ling said, then walked towards the courtyard and pushed open the main house that had been covered with dust for hundreds of years.

A cold breath overflowed from the room, as if there was still a smell of blood. The room was cleaned up clean. Xiao Xue looked calmly and said, "This place has been searched a long time ago. I wonder if they found a copy that Huo Yunliang might have."

Fang Ling said lightly: "If Huo Yunliang was really smart enough and had predicted that the dungeon he left would not have been found so easily. Moreover, after killing him, the search of the people from the imperial city would not have been so careful. After all, everyone was dead, and the world was already under the hands of the Ghost Emperor, so naturally there was no need to be afraid."

"So in this way, Huo Yunliang may not necessarily put Dong*** here. It will take a lot of time to find it out." Xiao Xue said.

Fang Ling smiled and said, "After so many years of hard work, we have gone to heaven and earth, and have experienced countless adventures. Now we have arrived at the door, how can we give up? But we must find it before dark, otherwise we may lose contact with Lai Gusheng and others."

Xiao Xue nodded slightly, and the two of them first started from this courtyard. They wanted to hide things. The first magic array was chosen. There were special magic arrays in the upper realm, with very small ranges and difficult to detect. Even like a needle, there might be special magic arrays hidden on it. The most unique thing is that the entire imperial city is an endless energy array, which makes it easy to support all kinds of magic arrays here, and there is no need to worry about failure within 100,000 years.

Fang Ling also believes that magic circles are the most feasible and effective method, and can easily hide the dungeons in various places that they cannot imagine, which also adds difficulties to the search.

However, the two of them were all capable people in search of things. Fang Ling had super powerful five senses, and a magical magic weapon like the Eagle Diagram Ring that transformed all things into images. The magic weapon Phoenix Eye Sword in Xiao Xue's hand also gave her the transcendent ability to see through illusions.

The two of them worked together to check in the yard and five rooms, but they did not get any results. In fact, it is unlikely to hide things in their residence, because this is the easiest place to be searched, but the two of them did not let go of any possibility.

Then, the two came to the classic library. The classic library that once existed as a forbidden area is now empty. The entire classic library covers an extremely large area, with nine floors above and nine floors below, ten miles wide and five hundred feet high, which is enough to imagine that there are huge historical records hidden in it.

There are still various residual magic circles hidden in the classic library, but they are no longer threatening. The two of them searched all the way from the upper nine towers. During the whole process, their consciousness increased to the extreme. All the huge and thin objects within a hundred feet of the range came into their eyes, and the five senses even digged into the ground and searched for items that might be hidden below.

There was no gain in the upper nine floors, and it was noon. The two began to search for the lower nine floors. The things inside the lower nine floors had been moved completely without leaving any left. The documents in the former full warehouse are now empty. The two went deeper. Although they discovered many dark rooms, mezzanines, and even hidden magic circles carved on the walls, these seemed to be all set up by the royal family and there were no items left.

When the search for the lower nine floors is completed, there is still no rest. It is already afternoon, and in another hour, the sun will be set.

Xiao Xue pondered: "There is no gain in the classics library. Where did Huo Yunliang take Dong***?"

The two firmly believed that Huo Yunliang would have information and had no other ideas at all. Fang Ling said flatly: "The entire palace is too selective, but according to my speculation, the guards at that time were appointed by the Ghost Emperor, and they should have obeyed the Ghost Emperor. Huo Yunliang was just a small historian, without power and power, and had a hard bone. It was unlikely that these guards would obey the orders. Huo Yunliang's investigation had progressed, and must have been discovered by the guards and reported the news. The reason why the Ghost Emperor killed these guards together was just to make Huo Yunliang's death look more normal."

"In this way, Huo Yunliang's every move is monitored by these guards. In this way, if we go to places other than the Classic Library and the Partial Hall, it will easily cause suspicion. Then there are only three places we choose. Apart from the house and Classic Library where Huo Yunliang lives, there is only the courtyard where other officials live!" Xiao Xue speculated.

Fang Ling smiled and said, "That is, according to the records, Huo Yunliang is not only quite judgmental, but also knows how to gather ideas and often go to other officials to chat. Since the other officials left, all the remaining research materials were taken back to his residence by Huo Yunliang. However, if Huo Yunliang wanted to use some means, he could escape the guards. Let's go to other side halls to take a look!"

There were about 30 other side palaces, and each official was divided into a courtyard at that time. This was also the favor given by the new Ghost Emperor, and he specially came to win people's hearts. After all, there was a difference between the king and the minister. Under normal circumstances, the ministers could not be qualified to live in these inner palaces and palace groups. At the same time, this also revealed another meaning of the New Ghost Emperor. Although this place was once an imperial city, it had been replaced by new objects and nothing was done since then.

The two of them searched one by one along the side palace courtyard. They were so nervous that they had nowhere to be found, and time was getting closer and closer to the sun set. It would be fine if the purpose of the two came here was to find possible copies, but once things involved stealing the recipe for the flesh soul, the time they could use would be much limited. After all, without the help of Deputy General Che, they would not be able to leave the inner city silently, and alarm the army here was something Fang Ling would never want to do.

Every minute of time passed, the pressure on the two of them was twice as high. Whether they could find Huo Yunliang's dungeon was the key to whether they could reorganize the Dou Shen Sect and the key to turning around the future battle situation. When they searched for one hall after another, sweat couldn't help but seep from Fang Ling's forehead. This was not a physical exhaustion, but also a torment in his heart. When they were searching for the 28th palace courtyard, things suddenly turned around.

On both sides of the courtyard, some dry bamboos are planted. This plant in the underground world of origin is famous for its resistance to cold and heat. Even if it is not wet for a long time, the leaves are still green as green as new. Therefore, they are cultivated in large quantities in both the underworld and the ghost realm, and even the royal family cherishes this thing.

There is a dry bamboo in this courtyard. What is surprising is that when Fang Ling walked through the bamboo forest, he subconsciously glanced and keenly discovered traces that seemed to be deliberately portrayed by someone on a bamboo deep in the depths.

Since we only saw the sides of the bamboo, it seemed to be just a sketch at that time, but Fang Ling immediately became suspicious.

This is the imperial palace. If every tree and every tree is destroyed, it will be held accountable. What's more, although it is just a light stroke, it is quite spiritual. It can be seen that it was written by a person who is good at writing and writing, and it is specially engraved in the deep forest, which is enough to arouse suspicion.

He immediately took Xiao Xue into the forest, and when he arrived before the bamboo, he suddenly showed his joy.

"Magic Formation!" Xiao Xue also shouted in shock. No, a magic array suddenly became engraved on one section of the bamboo. The brushwork was like a painting, lifelike, and hidden mystery.

Fang Ling was overjoyed: "This man is indeed smart. He carved the magic array on the dry bamboo. Hundreds of years ago, the dry bamboo had only a small section on the ground, and the magic array was very small. In addition, it was covered with fallen leaves, so it was extremely difficult to find. However, as the dry bamboo grew, it was rising step by step. If someone came in the future, he would definitely be able to find traces and perhaps clear the grievances."

He reached out to touch the bamboo surface, and the magic circle suddenly turned into a piece of water pattern, and a book slowly emerged from it. After it fell into his hand, Fang Ling carefully expanded it. The page had already looked very old with the passage of time. When he turned the first page, he saw a line of handwriting on it:

This official was ordered to go to the imperial city to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the late emperor, and gathered ideas. He gradually speculated that although it had been a hundred years, he still wanted to solve the mystery. In the end, I found the clues in the history books. However, when I accidentally heard the private talks of the guards, I realized that Your Majesty was about to get up early and kill me, so I left this book, hoping that those who are destined to come in the future may turn the world around.
