Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 151: The forbidden land of the Lu family, the moment of life and death
Chapter 151 The forbidden land of the Lu family, 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 last era.
Sisi was also looking at it. She seemed to be much 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 traces of expansion. It has continued to be excavated over the years. , it can be seen that the Lu family has been exploring the secrets here, maybe since the founding of the clan, exploration has continued throughout the generations."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Why didn't I see any new marks?"
"Here." Sisi reached out and tapped a corner of the wall on the right, then pushed gently. Zhao Changhe was surprised to find that this wall could be pushed open...
Then they both covered their noses and backed away, their eyes widening at the same time.
There are countless corpses behind the wall, piled up in a messy manner. There are also clothes that are not rotten, and they can be seen to be coarse cloth clothes of civilian craftsmen.
"They hired workers to dig, but they were afraid of leaking the secrets, so they trapped and killed all the workers inside..." 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.
You can still see many side roads dug in the wrong places along the way, but it is obvious that these side roads were abandoned after the correct road was discovered. 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 cobwebs.
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 forward, I 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 weekdays, but now was an opportunity. The Lu family has been plotting against the Tang family for a long time, and they will definitely go out in force to kill the enemy in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that a third party would be looking at their backside out of nowhere?
The pace of the two of them coincidentally became slower and more relaxed - there is a stone house used for practice, which proves that the core place is nearby, and some people can get some benefits from it, so there are people who practice here. The thought of this exploration 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 his 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 and it was already the end of the trip. However, there was nothing unusual about the wall the old man faced. It was just an ordinary stone wall. Instead, it was the stone wall behind the old man. There were strange scratches on it, which seemed to be sword marks.
This scene left the two of them confused. If you said you were comprehending some ancient sword marks, you would be comprehending them while facing the sword marks. How could it be with your back to them? Besides, these sword marks look relatively new...could they be caused by himself when he learned the sword?
Sisi whispered: "This old man is dying, and 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 vibrations are 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, and 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 up, the old man opened his eyes: "I didn't expect that there would be an oriole here while I was doing the praying mantis. Now that you're here, don't leave... Huh?"
In front of him was the flash of the 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 snap as fast as a thunderbolt, and was easily deflected from the path 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 back.
The old man's dumbfounded expression became even 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.
The old man finally couldn't hold on to Yun Dan Feng Qing, so he pressed his right hand down on the blade 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... wears the clothes of my descendants, but it's a pity that he is not my son... What a pity, what a pity."
Zhao Changhe also said: "Both and each other, the strength of the senior is definitely on the list of people, but he has hidden it so deeply that even the books of troubled times can't find it."
The old man said calmly: "The Book of Troubled Times speaks based on the results after all... 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 do you judge it?"
Zhao Changhe didn't answer. Isn't it obvious? Yue Hongling and Chili are definitely at 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 him so easily. One slash at a time, seemingly 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 was completely unavoidable, 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 spoke slowly: "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 beat 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 that, he let out a "choking" sound and unsheathed the long sword.
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 being beaten. You don't dare to participate in a fierce battle at all. You only dare to pretend here, otherwise You should have killed us with one sword a long time ago, but you can still make so many mistakes? I know the reason why your family chose to launch the plan at this time. 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 was not bragging. With this sword alone, Zhao Changhe could not see through the consequences. 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 the old man was facing: "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 a 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 thing is that the stone wall the old man is facing leads to an alien space. The sword marks on the stone wall behind him are the sword energy emitted from this space. Scratched.
Zhao Changhe guessed correctly.
Before they could see the surrounding scenery clearly, sword energy and evil energy were everywhere, and the fierce murderous intention was a hundred times more terrifying than in front of the old man.
A word she knew before appeared in 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?
Looking at Zhao Changhe's expected expression...had he guessed it a long time ago?
