The entrance was narrow at first, with only room for one person to pass. After walking more than ten feet, it began to become wider. The old emperor was injured, and with all the running for his life, he was exhausted by now. When he reached the wide space, he sat down.
On the ground, he was panting heavily and could no longer move forward.
Hu Xiaotian could still see in the dark, and saw Long Xuanen looking sluggish, sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, muttering: "I... can't walk... can't take a step...
"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Then take a rest."
Long Xuanen shook his head and said: "I'm tired, I can't walk anymore, and I don't want to leave, so just leave me here and let me fend for myself..."
Only then did Hu Xiaotian realize that he had misunderstood what he meant. It turned out that the old emperor had lost all hope in his heart. Hu Xiaotian said: "Let me help you take a look." He was just running for his life and did not have time to check his injuries. Of course, he also confronted Hu Xiaotian with the old emperor.
The emperor's life and death did not matter. After preliminary inspection, it was discovered that the old emperor's arms had been crushed to pieces by Long Tingzhen. His body was also covered with large and small black spots, which were obviously signs of poisoning.
, Hu Xiaotian took a breath of air-conditioning, fearing that Long Xuanen would soon die.
Long Xuanen sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the person who ultimately harmed me would be Qiqi..."
Hu Xiaotian said nothing, thinking that you are just an old fool, how can you express your feelings at this stage. However, if you put yourself in Long Xuanen's shoes, the old guy was really hurt this time.
Long Xuan'en said: "I can't make it, just leave me alone and just run for your life..."
Hu Xiaotian comforted him and said: "We have all escaped here, why don't we continue to persevere, we should be able to escape."
Long Xuanen chuckled and said: "What can you do if you escape? Don't I know your intentions? You just want to take advantage of me..." He coughed violently and covered his lips with his hands.
After coughing, he spread his palms, which were stained with black blood. Long Xuanen said: "Do you think I am willing to be used by Hong Beimo?" He shook his head and said: "If it weren't for him, I would have been there thirty years ago.
He is already dead, and he has the ability to bring the dead back to life. That's why I have faith in him..." He coughed a few more times.
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that Hong Beimo must have used some advanced method to revive Long Xuanen, so he trusted Hong Beimo so much.
Long Xuan'en said: "Hong Beimo built a reincarnation tower in the imperial mausoleum. As long as the reincarnation tower is completed... it can make people rejuvenate and become immortal..."
"So you don't hesitate to use the whole country to build this imperial mausoleum?"
Long Xuan'en said: "In order to survive, a person can do anything."
"You just believe him that much?"
Long Xuanen suddenly fell silent. After a while, he lowered his voice and said: "Hong Beimo is not a mortal. He has unpredictable powers. He...should have achieved enlightenment and become an immortal."
Hu Xiaotian laughed disdainfully. He didn't believe in any nonsense about attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal. However, judging from the current situation, Hong Beimo should be similar to himself. He was also a person who came to this world by accident. Maybe
The place Hongbeimo came from was more advanced than himself.
Long Xuanen heard his disdain for him and sighed: "You can't fight him."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Didn't you say you have something they want in your hands?"
Long Xuanen nodded and said: "If you didn't tell me, I... almost forgot that I put that thing in the secret room under Mu'en Palace..."
Hu Xiaotian knew it was definitely not the Seven-Star Chain when he heard it, because he had obtained the Seven-Star Chain on the Piaomiao Peak Cloud Temple before. The thing that the old emperor was still thinking about even when he was dying must be more important than the Seven-Star Chain. He whispered
Said: "Take me there"
Long Xuanen shook his head and said: "I can't walk anymore. Follow this secret passage... and go straight until you reach the fork. The left leads to Mu'en Palace, and the right leads to Yaochi..." Before he finished speaking,
, and started coughing violently again.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I will carry you there."
In the darkness, Long Xuan'en used up almost all his strength. He whispered: "No need, my time has come. I'm sorry to all my ancestors... You can take off my... my teeth... But... But...
Open...the secret..." Before he finished speaking, Long Xuanen's head was already weak and fell down. When Hu Xiaotian looked at it again, he found that he was already dead.
Long Xuanen himself was at the end of his life, and coupled with today's drastic changes, he could no longer bear it either physically or mentally. It was not easy to be able to support him until this point. Hu Xiaotian looked at this old emperor who had lived a mediocre life.
I have always despised and despised him, but seeing that he is already dead, no matter how great the sin, I can only leave it to future generations to comment.
According to Long Xuanen's instructions just now, Hu Xiaotian opened his mouth and groped for a while. He found that the teeth on the old emperor's upper jaw were different from other places. With a little force, he pulled out the teeth and tore off the old emperor's dragon teeth.
He wrapped it up in his robe and put it in his arms. He checked the other teeth again and made sure there were no omissions. Then he got up and left. Before leaving, he confirmed Long Xuanen's death again. After all, this old guy was insidious and cunning. Hu Xiaotian
Worried that he might have cheated his death.
Not only did Long Xuanen have no breathing or heartbeat, his body temperature also dropped rapidly. Looking at his face, there were also a lot of black spots. Hu Xiaotian shook his head, knowing that Long Xuanen was indeed dead.
He laid him flat on the ground, pulled off a piece of the royal robe and covered his face. Long Xuanen spent his whole life, depleted the Dakang treasury, and wasted money and people to build the imperial mausoleum. In the end, it was of no use.
Continuing along the secret passage, he sneaked about a mile underground before he saw the fork that Long Xuanen mentioned. Hu Xiaotian chose to go left, and after walking more than 20 steps, he saw a stone door blocking the way.
Hu Xiaotian knocked on the stone door and judged that the stone door was only half a foot thick. He concentrated his inner strength and punched the stone door. With a loud bang, the stone door was smashed into pieces by him. Most of the time, the method of violently opening the door came in handy. Through this stone door
After that, you can see the steps going up. After climbing up the steps, you will see a platform. Looking around, there is no doorway for you to go forward. Hu Xiaotian was secretly surprised. Didn’t the old emperor say it was okay before he died?
Is it leading to Mu'en Palace? Is it possible that we have reached the end here? Is it nonsense to say that the old emperor was unconscious before his death?
There was no light in the secret passage. Hu Xiaotian relied on his ability to see at night to observe the surrounding situation. He soon discovered that there was a dragon relief carved on the ground of the platform at his feet. The dragon's body was circling and its head was facing upward. At first glance, there was nothing
It was abnormal, but when Hu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to touch it, he found that part of the dragon's teeth were actually dented. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. He took out the old emperor's dentures and placed them on the dragon's mouth. Unexpectedly, they just matched. Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed.
, it turns out that the old emperor's dentures are the key to the secret door. The old emperor's mind is really meticulous, and the craftsmen who designed this secret passage are also ingenious.
Hu Xiaotian put the dentures on the dragon's mouth, and secretly wanted to laugh in his heart. The old emperor really regarded himself as the real dragon emperor, and the dentures had to be placed on the dragon's mouth. From this point of view, it can be inferred that the age of this secret passage should be different.
For a long time, Hong Beimo should have known nothing about this. Although the two were in a cooperative relationship, they were also wary of each other. The old emperor secretly dug such a secret passage and was still able to keep the secret. The city was really deep.
Hu Xiaotian pressed his dentures down hard with his fingers. He only heard a click, and the dentures were completely embedded in the dragon's mouth. Not long after, he felt a rumbling vibration under his feet. Hu Xiaotian hurriedly retreated to the side, and the ground beneath his feet cracked in an arc.
There was a light blue light shining out from the inside. The crack got bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a round hole with a diameter of three feet. Hu Xiaotian lowered his head and looked down. There were steps extending downward at the entrance of the hole. He followed the steps.
Walked down.
It turns out that there is indeed a secret room hidden under this platform.
Mu'en Palace was the place where the old emperor's mother and concubine lived. After the old lady passed away, Long Xuan'en listed this place as a restricted area. Except for him who occasionally came to pay homage, no one visited this place on weekdays. There is a portrait of a beautiful woman below,
There is an offering table placed in front of the portrait, and there is a luminous pearl on each candlestick on the offering table, illuminating the underground secret room.
With the light of the night pearl, Hu Xiaotian observed the portrait. The portrait was not Ling Jiazi, but Long Xuanen's mother-in-law. Hu Xiaotian bowed three times to the portrait and whispered: "I'm offended." He took off the portrait.
Next, he shook the scroll according to his previous experience and found that there was no sound in it. However, he still unscrewed the scroll. There was only a roll of paper inside. Hu Xiaotian unfolded the roll of paper and saw three words "Alchemy Chapter" written on the title.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart because of the small characters. Could this be the lost "Alchemy Cauldron Chapter" of "Qiankun Kaiwu"?
It’s not that the elixir chapter of “Qiankun Kaiwu” records the secret recipe for refining the elixir of immortality. Why did the old emperor get this thing but didn’t give it to Hong Beimo? Instead, he secretly stored it here? Hu Xiaotian also cared about it.
Without reading the contents, he put the "Alchemy Cauldron Chapter" away. He searched the secret room carefully and found another written edict from the altar table. When he unfolded the edict, it turned out to be the abdication edict of the old emperor.
Xuan En had already made the decision to pass the throne to Qi Qi. In this case, Qi Qi's plan to usurp the throne was unnecessary.
Hu Xiaotian also put away the secret edict, thinking secretly in his heart that since his internal strength has been restored, it should not be difficult to escape from the palace, but Xiyan is still in Qiqi's hands, and he cannot leave without peace of mind unless he rescues her.
, suddenly remembered that the other exit of this secret passage leads to Yaochi. Liang Yinghao is currently lurking in Li Yuncong's library. He must contact them first.
The New Year is here, I wish you all a happy New Year, and please give me a guaranteed monthly pass to be renewed.
