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, and 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 previous 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 signs 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 clan was founded here, and the exploration has been through the generations."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Why didn't I see any new marks?"
"Here." Sisi stretched out her hand and tapped a corner of the wall on the right, then pushed it gently. Zhao Changhe was surprised to find that this wall could actually be pushed open...
Then both of them covered their noses and backed away, their eyes widening at the same time.
Behind the wall were countless corpses, piled up in a messy manner. There were still unrotted clothes among them, and they could be seen to be coarse cloth clothes of civilian craftsmen.
"They hired workers to dig, but they were afraid of leaking the secret, so they trapped and killed all the workers..." 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 discovery of the main road. 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 spider webs.
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, but by this time the people had left, apparently going to the Tang family... which also made it easier for the two of them to explore.
Sisi looked more and more impressed by Zhao Changhe's previous deduction. It was impossible to come to this place on ordinary days. Only now was an opportunity. The Lu family had been planning to invade the Tang family for a long time, so they would definitely go out to kill the enemy in one fell swoop. How could they expect something so inexplicable?
A third party is staring at their backside?
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. This exploration wants to reveal
The answer to the mystery 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 out quietly and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged and with 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 look like sword marks.
This scene left the two of them puzzled. If you were to comprehend some ancient sword marks, then you would be comprehending them while facing the sword marks. How could they be facing away from each other? Besides, these sword marks looked relatively new... Could it be that they were enlightened by the sword?
self-inflicted?
Sisi whispered: "This old man is dying. He may only have a month or two to live."
Zhao Changhe didn't know how she could tell. Just when he was about to ask, his chest and back began to vibrate at the same time.
There is a dragon bird on its back, and the vibration is an early 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 quickly rushed... forward.
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, and the dragon bird had already struck him 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 made a crack as fast as thunder, and was easily knocked out of the way 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 tutted: "You are so brave, you are not unknown in the world..."
"Whoosh!" A dagger quietly pierced the old man's heart.
The old man's expression of dumbfounding became more intense. He seemed to be sitting there motionless, but somehow his body twisted slightly, and Sisi's dagger grazed it without even hurting the corner of his clothes.
The wind blew loudly around his waist, and Zhao Changhe took this opportunity to make a horizontal slash.
Finally, the old man could no longer maintain his composure, so he pressed down the blade of the sword with his right hand and stood up.
Zhao Changhe took a few steps back, staring at the old man without blinking, and assumed a posture to continue attacking without fear.
The old man sighed: "Such a person... is wearing the clothes of a descendant of my family, but it's a pity that he is not my son-in-law... It's a pity, it's a pity."
Zhao Changhe also said: "Both and each other, the strength of the senior is definitely on the list of people, but he is actually hidden so deeply that he is not even on the list."
The old man said calmly: "After all, I speak based on the results... In fact, I haven't done anything with anyone for a long time, and I don't know whether I am a powerful person. How can you judge?"
Zhao Changhe didn't answer. Isn't it obvious? Yue Hongling and Chili definitely belong to 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 this incident of him so easily.
The killing seemed 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 as Tang Wanzhuang's finger that could not be avoided at that time, otherwise it would be a dead end, 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 slowly spoke: "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. Then I will have to kill you two first, and then go to the Tang family."
After saying "choking", the long sword was unsheathed.
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 fighting. 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 go so far? I know why your family chose this time to launch their plan. I bet you are about to die..."
"Whoosh!" The old man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he stabbed Zhao Changhe's throat with his sword: "I don't need a fierce battle to deal with you!"
He wasn't bragging. With just this sword, Zhao Changhe couldn't see through the aftermath. 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 facing the old man: "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 spreads around us again.
There must be a reason for the gold foil to vibrate. Combining various speculations about causes and consequences, the most likely possibility is that the stone wall the old man faced leads to an alien space, and 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 auras and evil auras were everywhere, and the fierce murderous intent was a hundred times more terrifying than in front of the old man.
A word she knew before came to Sisi's mind: Sword Emperor.
This is the Sword Emperor’s mausoleum!
Not under the Tiger Hill Sword Pond, but actually in the Lu family?
But looking at Zhao Changhe's expected expression...had he guessed it a long time ago?
