Chapter 17 Dragon-Slaying Monument, Sudden Knock on the Door
Same day.
Jinting Cave Heaven.
Inside the Trapped Dragon Tower.
"Um?"
"Why no response?"
Xu Taiping stood in front of the door of the Gengzi Room on the second floor of Sleeping Dragon Tower, muttering to himself in confusion.
He had just rested in another room in the tower. As soon as he sensed the movement in this room, he rushed over immediately.
But after arriving here, no matter how he knocked on the door and asked, there was no response, which made him very puzzled.
"Maybe it's my imagination."
Xu Taiping shook his head helplessly.
It has been half a year since the last conversation with Wuji Immortal in front of this door.
In the past six months, Xu Taiping, in addition to consolidating his state of looking at the sky in the tower, also paid attention to the movements in the Gengzi Room on the second floor every day.
Because what is connected to this room is the dragon-slaying stele that the Wuji Immortal's clone took from the secret realm and sent to Zhenwu Tian.
As long as there is movement in this room, it means that the Dragon Slaying Monument has been delivered.
Xu Taiping still had faith in Wuji Immortal's strength.
But what made him a little helpless was that in the past six months, there had been no movement in this room.
So when he sensed movement in this room today, he immediately flew his sword to the door of the room.
"Bang, bang bang bang!..."
Just when Xu Taiping was wondering whether he was delusional because he wanted to hear the movement in the room so much, there was suddenly a violent knocking sound on the door in front of him.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
"I heard that right!"
Immediately, I saw him pressing his hand on the door again.
While trying to push the door open, he shouted at the other end:
"Is there anyone over there?"
"Is that Senior Sister Linglong over there?"
But this time, there was still no response as before.
The difference is that the sound of "bang bang bang" banging on the door is still there.
Moreover, Xu Taiping's hand was close to the door, and he could sense a faint breath through the door.
In this situation, Xu Taiping can confirm at least one thing -
"The seal of the Dragon-Slaying Monument is indeed being opened."
At this moment, Fairy Lingyue's voice appeared in Xu Taiping's mind - "Taiping, is there something going on in the Geng room?"
Xu Taiping continued to try to push the door open and replied:
"Yes, Sister Lingyue, there is movement on the other side of the door. Someone should be trying to open the Dragon Slaying Monument."
Because Fairy Lingyue still couldn't leave Earth Fruit, Xu Taiping introduced the vision to Fairy Lingyue in detail.
Not long after, Fairy Lingyue’s voice came again——
"Taiping, this should be someone trying to inject true energy into the Dragon-Slaying Monument. At the moment, the amount of true energy absorbed by the Dragon-Slaying Monument is not enough, so you can't communicate with the other end."
Xu Taiping said with a sudden look on his face:
"In other words, as long as enough true energy is absorbed into the Dragon-Slaying Monument, I will be able to sense the situation on the other side of the Slaying Gate?"
Fairy Lingyue replied:
"That's right, you have now broken through to the Heaven-Watching Realm and are the master of the Trapped Dragon Tower. You can sense the situation on the other side of the door without opening the door."
Fairy Lingyue immediately added:
"Of course, the premise is that the person at the other end of the door has injected enough true energy into the Dragon-Slaying Monument."
Xu Taiping nodded and said:
"I understand, Sister Lingyue."
And at this moment, the door in front of him suddenly "bang banged" again.
Although after listening to Fairy Lingyue's words, he was no longer so anxious, but when the banging on the door in front of him kept ringing, he was still very curious about what happened on the other side of the door.
Especially, is the person standing on the other side of the door his senior sister Zhao?
exquisite.
If it is his senior sister Zhao Linglong, then what is her current situation? Has she been contaminated by the bad luck of the Wuji Immortal's clone?
The Wuji Immortal had repeatedly emphasized before that the bad luck on his clone was so strong that even the Wuji Immortal did not dare to release it easily.
Just when Xu Taiping was thinking about this, he heard Fairy Lingyue suddenly transmit a message to him again:
"Taiping, I just carefully reviewed the memories of the Trapped Dragon Tower in my mind, and found that when faced with the current situation, the people in the tower are not unable to do anything."
Xu Taiping was delighted and said:
"Sister Lingyue, please tell me."
Fairy Lingyue immediately introduced to Xu Taiping:
"According to the description in the classic book of Huangting Dao Palace, after the monks refine the Trapped Dragon Tower, they can try to sense the aura of the nearby Dragon Slaying Monument."
"Especially when there is a Dragon-Slaying Monument being opened nearby."
"After you sense the aura of the Dragon-Slaying Monument, you can try to open the Dragon-Slaying Monument with the monk on the other side of the door."
"It's just that when using this sensing method, the owner of the Trapped Dragon Tower not only has to consume a lot of divine energy, but also when the sensed Dragon Slaying Monument is attacked, his soul will also suffer heavy damage."
"So don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he was a little surprised and said:
"It turns out that the Trapped Dragon Tower and the Dragon-Slaying Monument can sense each other."
Immediately afterwards, Fairy Lingyue informed Xu Taiping in detail about the secret of mutual induction between the Trapped Dragon Tower and the Dragon-Slaying Monument.
Xu Taiping immediately gave it a try.
As a result, I really felt the breath behind the door.
Because I didn't put all my attention into the Trapped Dragon Tower, I only sensed the existence of a few powerful auras at the door. The specific situation is not very clear.
After Xu Taiping thought for a while, he suddenly murmured:
"Right now, I only need to confirm two things with the person at the door before I can decide whether to do this or not."
Fairy Lingyue asked curiously:
"What two things?"
Xu Taiping replied:
"First, whether the person behind the door is Senior Sister Linglong."
"Second, is Senior Sister Linglong in danger right now?"
Fairy Lingyue continued to ask:
"How are you going to confirm that?"
After Xu Taiping thought for a while, he suddenly tried to ask to the other side of the door:
"If you can hear my voice, please tap on the Dragon-Slaying Monument three times."
Not long after, among the chaotic collisions, three clear rhythmic knocks suddenly sounded.
Xu Taiping, who didn't have high hopes at first, suddenly felt happy.
Fairy Lingyue outside the Sleeping Dragon Tower, after discovering what Xu Taiping did, was also very surprised and said: "Taiping, you can continue to try."
Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked to the other side of the door:
"If you were my senior sister Linglong, you should still remember how many taels of silver my second uncle planned to sell me to a rich family as a bookboy, right?"
Xu Taiping immediately added:
"One tap represents twelve."
Not long after, three crisp knocking sounds were heard from the other side of the door again.
After hearing these three knocking sounds, Xu Taiping felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Apart from him, only the second senior brothers Dugu Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong knew about this matter.
Therefore, he could conclude that the person behind the door must be Zhao Linglong.
Immediately, without hesitation, he directly pressed his hands on the door, and at the same time began to fully integrate with the trapped dragon tower.
In an instant, the entire Trapped Dragon Tower was ablaze with brilliance and runes were flying.
After discovering the strangeness of the Trapped Dragon Tower, Fairy Lingyue immediately sent a message to Xu Taiping:
"Taiping, you haven't confirmed yet, is Zhao Linglong in danger?"
