But after all, we have agreed to go to the end of the copy, and I feel embarrassed to give up halfway.
Liu Yuan held the big and small pendants and went out through an exit found by Hong Fu. Chui Chui still served as the pioneer, followed by Tang Yuanhua and others.
Liu Yuan clenched a hammer, suggesting to her that if there were no elite monsters, she should try to slack off as much as possible, and if she couldn't, she should create conditions and slack off.
Otherwise, their side is too strong and it would be a loss for us if we were the only one doing the hard work.
Chui Chui has been the main force in several consecutive battles, and she is also very tired. Chui Chui also has a family, and she wants to rest instead of being used as a tool to complete the dungeon.
Don’t treat Hammer as your master!
"Meow! (The mount is right!)" Chui Chui narrowed his eyes to express his agreement. His mount finally understood and appreciated the hard work of its master, which was really not easy.
Hong Fu was responsible for giving directions. With the map, things were much more convenient now. Through secret passages and shortcuts, they would soon reach their destination.
Naturally, they encountered strange and bizarre beasts along the way. Chui Chui implemented the principle of taking it easy and basically let the people behind who were armed take action. But these people were at least from the Qingxiefang pioneering team, so the process was surprisingly smooth.
It was so smooth that Liu Yuan was a little surprised.
He vaguely felt that according to the difficulty of this dungeon, the level of these monsters should not be just this low.
Even the original outer Emperor Wu Cave Tomb dungeon, as one of the few limited dungeons, is incredibly difficult. Only by assembling a pure meat or pure output team and going through the process several times according to the guide can you pass it completely.
Not to mention the period when there was no strategy to explore the new land. It was really hard work and the whole team was wiped out every time.
Now they were a group of people with incomplete configurations, and it was their first time entering a hidden dungeon, yet they were able to fight so smoothly.
Although a few people were killed along the way, they were completely useless pure magic professions with almost zero combat effectiveness, and they could not be saved at all...
Other than that, they are basically half blood.
For a pioneering team, such a loss is negligible.
Is it because the Wu Di Cave dungeon is too difficult, so a welfare dungeon is created for the hidden dungeon, where players are given a reward after each hit, to prevent players from quitting the game in anger?
But Liu Yuan believes more in the old saying:
Before a war, there must be supplies.
What this means is that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Liu Yuan felt a little wary.
The Sutra Repository in this palace is located on the fifth floor, and the Suddenly Light Pavilion is on the first floor. However, based on what I saw outside before, the entrance has completely sunk into the ground, so it is pitch black inside and in a dilapidated state.
While everyone was resting in front of the Sutra Library, Liu Yuan, holding the red talisman, flipped through Yanshi's diary and took a look at the description of the entire palace.
He skipped over the dizzyingly dense data and went straight to the text description.
The second floor was the one they came in from. That floor was where some pills and medicinal herbs were kept. It was rather narrow, but there was no time to check it out. Besides, the place was now so desolate and dilapidated that it was estimated that any medicinal herbs would have lost their effects long ago.
The place where the monkey beast came down at the beginning of the third floor is also the gathering place for most of the monsters used for experiments. It should have been a laboratory in the past. As time went by, the cages were opened, and those monsters were wandering around the entire palace.
There may be some creatures that have left the island, but not many. After all, it seems that these strange beasts can only maintain a half-alive and half-dead state for a long time in this palace.
The fourth layer doesn't explain much, but it should have the same use as the third layer.
The fifth floor is the Sutra Repository.
The entrance here is tightly surrounded by a ridiculously complicated mechanical array lock, but fortunately, Hong Fu has the world in his hand - Hong Fu, who has obtained the Yanshi scroll, has made great progress in the study and understanding of mechanical arts.
"It's untied!" Hong Fu's eyes were serious and shining. She excitedly pulled Liu Yuan beside her and kissed him, then her face blushed.
Boom...
There was a faint loud noise, and the door of the Sutra Library in the White Jade Palace, which had been sealed for a thousand years, slowly opened.
Chapter 199: I only tell you
The Sutra Repository is located on the top floor of the entire palace. It was not damaged by the ground subsidence and is tightly protected. Therefore, it is also the most intact part with basically no damage.
The structure of this place is very complicated. The whole place is like a huge Rubik's Cube with mechanical mechanisms. Not only is the entrance locked by the mechanical formation, but the internal structure also reminds Liu Yuan of a horror movie he had seen before called The Cabin in the Woods.
All the documents and materials about mechanical engineering and their research results are vast and numerous, all of which are classified and placed in different separate libraries. Between the intricate passages, it all depends on manual operation to "move" the required library.
For Yanshi, the designer, this kind of design is definitely convenient for him, as he can get any information he wants directly. But for others, it is very troublesome.
Not to mention the control of mechanical engineering, just how to find the room where the key information is stored is a big problem.
If there weren't a bug like Hong Fu, if a new group of people came in, even if they had the book and great talent, it would probably take them at least several months to barely have some basic understanding of the mechanical art... After all, this was the lifelong learning of Yanshi, who was able to create a puppet like Hong Fu.
However, with this level of understanding, it is impossible to unlock the mechanism array outside the Sutra Repository. It can be said that he died before accomplishing his mission, which makes the hero shed tears.
But now, even after overcoming the first hurdle, they were still stuck on how to find the information.
Hong Fu flipped through all the scrolls left by Yanshi, but still found no clues, and the matter came to a standstill for a while.
"It's impossible to try them one by one..."
Liu Yuan looked up at the entire Sutra Repository, which was in the shape of a hollow cylinder with countless square lattice rooms arranged in an orderly manner.
The scene here is like a large library. It can be seen that Emperor Wu and Yanshi really spent a lot of effort and a long time to accumulate such a huge amount of information.
"Hong Fu, check the rooms nearby first to see if there are any clues that can lead you to the library where the Xisui Sutra is located. The rest of you should... take a rest here."
This place is much safer than before. There is a mechanism array outside that prevents the strange beasts from getting in, and it is quiet inside. Compared to before, it is really like a safe house, which makes people feel at ease.
Liu Yuan was really helpless. They were not on a picnic here, and it felt strange for them to sit down and rest like elementary school students at a dinner party. But there was no other way. After all, they could not understand the contents of the mechanical techniques, so they were powerless to help.
As for the Xisui Jing and so on, it was just a pseudonym made up by Liu Yuan himself.
After He Junhao and his Yanshi wife developed a set of skills that could reverse the attributes of the human body, they did not give it a name because it was still a semi-finished product in the experimental stage.
But since both of them had died, according to the scientific convention that the person who discovered something can give it a name, Liu Yuan naturally gave this method a name.
As for why it is called Xisui Jing, firstly, this technique is indeed used to cleanse points, and secondly, Liu Yuan always thinks of the legendary martial arts secret skill Yi Jin Jing, so he simply called it Xisui Jing.
The name was surprisingly simple and in line with the actual content of the technique; everyone present agreed.
Everyone sat down to rest for a while. The two little foxes ran over to talk to Zhiying secretly. No one knew what they wanted to do. Liu Yuan was about to eavesdrop when someone suddenly pulled his clothes gently.
He turned around and saw He Qingmeng.
The woman sat in a very well-behaved posture, kneeling in a standard position with her skirt neatly gathered around her legs. She took back a pair of slender white jade hands and placed them on her knees. She lowered her head slightly shyly, her face a little pale because of the thrills along the way, her long black hair hung down, falling obediently on her full chest.
Fortunately, the library is in good condition and the floor is very clean, otherwise one would feel ashamed of letting such a beautiful piece of jade be covered in dust.
She followed him obediently all the way, and although she looked fragile, she actually did not complain or cause any trouble along the way. She hid beside Liu Yuan most of the time, biting her lower lip and not saying a word. Only when she was afraid would she pull Liu Yuan's clothes harder.
Every time this happened, Liu Yuan would pat her hands to comfort her, and later he simply took her away.
Although it is forbidden for men and women to touch each other, although He Qingmeng's face was red, she did not struggle or object, which was equivalent to tacit consent. In this case, Liu Yuan did not worry about whether he was taking advantage of her or not. After all, convenience and protection were more important.
now.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the woman's beautiful fair face.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?" Liu Yuan softened his voice. This descendant of Emperor Wu, who came from a merchant family, was always timid and delicate, and it was hard for him to be spoken to in a focused tone.
In the past, before he traveled through time, Liu Yuan, who was still a nerd, usually looked down on such pitiful-looking women. He would only say guna in his heart, "Women, stay away from me. Don't disturb me while I'm playing games."
But ever since his paper wife turned into cash, he has been really attracted to her.
Of course, my wife and He Qingmeng, who were just casual acquaintances, cannot be confused. It’s just that firstly, He Qingmeng’s temperament is natural, she is naturally shy and timid, not pretentious. Secondly, she is really good-looking, as beautiful as jade, so she is enough to make people patient.
He Qingmeng's face turned slightly red, then she said in a serious tone, "I may have some clues... about the Marrow Cleansing Sutra."
Liu Yuan was a little surprised, and the others also looked over when they heard what he said, which made He Qingmeng hide behind Liu Yuan in fear, with only half of her face showing.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I will only speak to you, Master."
As soon as these words were spoken, they attracted some strange looks.
There is no doubt that what she said seemed a bit inappropriate. After all, the two parties are now in a cooperative relationship, and it would seem like she was hiding something from others.
Tang Yuanhua laughed and said, "Anyone who can enter this Wudi Cave must have their own connections. It's great that Miss Qingmeng has clues. It's also normal for people to have unspeakable things. There's nothing to be surprised about."
His tone was gentle and casual, but he cast a warning look behind him as he spoke.
Tang Yuanhua's move was undoubtedly to show goodwill to Liu Yuan. He had already made up his mind that even if the mission failed this time, if he could make friends with a person like Liu Yuan, the value would be far greater than the mission reward.
And the group of idiots behind them are ignorant people who cannot see the difference between immediate and long-term interests.
Chapter 200: The Good Guy Card
After Tang Yuanhua spoke, the others didn't know what to say, but they could not help feeling a little dissatisfied.
They also helped fight their way up, risking life and death and taking huge risks. We don't know if there are any clues now. After all, they have vested interests at stake, and they must be feeling uncomfortable.
However, what Tang Yuanhua said was actually reasonable. Those who could come in all had some connections and means, and they all used their own unique abilities to get in, just as they relied on the information provided by the Qingxie Fang. The people from the Biluo Mansion were the first to come in. It was said that they found a book recording the events of Emperor Wu in some ruins, and then they found the descendants of Emperor Wu, and then entered the tomb.
Although Liu Yuan and others never said how they got in, because of Pang Ying, everyone subconsciously thought that they entered the tomb because they were tracking Pang Ying.
But Pang Ying’s place is not as important as the Martial Emperor’s Secret Realm, so naturally he wants to get a piece of the pie when he comes.
On the contrary, it is this girl Qing Meng who is the most suspicious. She doesn't look like a cultivator at all. However, not all cultivators in the world love fighting and killing. It is reasonable that they are not good at fighting and have a gentle temperament. Now no one has spiritual power, and no one can feel what is wrong. However, she has been silent all the way, and now she says that she has a clue, which is a bit abrupt.
However, Liu Yuan understood that He Qingmeng said that he could only tell him because it involved his identity as the descendant of Emperor Wu and could not be revealed in front of everyone.
He asked Hong Fu to move one of the library rooms that had been turned over, and walked in with He Qingmeng. He nodded to the little doll, and when the library returned to its original position, it would become a natural secret room.
Chui Chui and Zhiying were left behind to maintain order. After all, these people were not good people and there was a high possibility that they had evil intentions.
The others looked at each other for a while and continued to help search the library.
"There's no one else here. Tell me, what the clue is?" Liu Yuan asked He Qingmeng.
He Qingmeng seemed a little embarrassed about this kind of scene of a man and a woman alone in the same room. She shyly put her hand on her chest and whispered, "When I entered here just now, it was as if my heartbeat quickened. I felt a hint of calling in my heart, a mysterious sense of intimacy. If what you said is true, and I am indeed a descendant of Emperor Wu, then the one who called me must be my ancestor, but I dare not show it..."
Liu Yuan was stunned, his pupils shrank: "Did you feel it in this Sutra Library?"
He Qingmeng nodded and said, "Just when Miss Hongfu unlocked the lock formation, I suddenly felt a kind call from a certain direction... just like when I was a child and heard my grandfather calling me while enjoying the cool in the summer evenings."
She gave a very vivid metaphor to illustrate how intimate it was.
If there were no accidents, then what she felt... should indeed be the Emperor Wu He Junhao who should have died a thousand years ago.
In Liu Yuan's mind, the only word he could use to express his feelings was "Fuck".
He felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp.
The final BOSS in the outer tomb is the monster transformed from the body left behind by He Junhao, and the players also assume that Emperor Wu is indeed dead, because there are no ghosts in the Upper Central Realm!
Once all ghosts go to Fengdu Realm, there is no turning back. They can only enter the next reincarnation and there is no possibility of staying.
And now, He Qingmeng actually felt the call of Emperor Wu!
Could it be that this Martial Emperor not only achieved sainthood in the flesh as a mortal and passed his name down through the ages, but also studied forbidden techniques with his wife in an attempt to change people's natural talents? Now it is said that he seems to have broken the reincarnation rules of the Upper Central Realm and left his soul in the human world!
This person can truly be described as "going against the will of heaven".
Liu Yuan even subtly felt that He Junhao seemed to be a protagonist template like Xue Wei, or, to use a more fairy-tale term - the son of destiny.
It’s just that this Emperor Wu Cave always makes people feel mysterious. There is the mystery of Yanshi creating humans, the mutation of monsters, the life and death of Emperor Wu, and the white jade stele whose reason has not yet been figured out.
...It was said before that this was the only copy with supernatural horror elements, but I didn’t expect there were really ghosts in it.
He adjusted his mindset and was ready to meet the ghost of the Emperor Wu in this tomb. Thinking about it, the journey was indeed too smooth. It turned out that he was waiting here. Based on the mentality that this ghost could only guard the most important place, and it was absolutely unavoidable to find the Xisui Sutra, he asked He Qingmeng and others to lead the way, and said that he had a special method to find it, and leave the monster-killing to them.
He Qingmeng still nodded obediently. Seeing Liu Yuan sticking his head out of the door of the library and asking Hong Fu to help him move back, she looked at his back and said softly, "Thank you, sir, for allowing me to walk here."
The mechanism was activated, and the library began to operate. Liu Yuan retracted his body, thinking that she was talking about saving him and protecting him all the way, and said, "You're welcome. I'm actually doing this for the inheritance of the Martial Emperor... Let's see if your ancestor appears. Whether they can get the Marrow Cleansing Sutra depends on their luck. If we can get you out safely, then our mission will be accomplished."
He Qingmeng pursed her lips and smiled: "No, there are not many people with a heart like you in the world. If you hadn't saved me, I would have already been..."
Liu Yuan, who was unexpectedly given a modified nice guy card, said: "..."
However, he had no interest in He Qingmeng. After all, Liu Yuan was not the kind of scumbag who would take every good deal for himself. Although it seemed that He Qingmeng was interested in him, he currently only admired He Qingmeng's beauty.
This isn't a sex buddy like the secret guards in the City Lord's Mansion. If it really develops into a relationship, it will involve a lot of things, and the current situation isn't very suitable.
The first is the gap between immortals and mortals... He Qingmeng is not like Gu Siyin. Little Siyin has been practicing martial arts since childhood and has a certain foundation in spiritual power. In addition, he has the blood of Xuanwu and is young, so it is not difficult for him to cultivate immortality.
But Liu Yuan could see that He Qingmeng was indeed an ordinary person without any martial arts or spiritual power. The implication of this alone was enough to discourage people.
If I could get the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, if it could really change my aptitude, then...
He suddenly thought, isn't that why He Junhao created the method to change aptitude? His own body has become holy, enough to live forever, but that Yanshi doesn't seem to have a high level of cultivation.
Unfortunately, Chui Chui only found the letter on the people in Biluo Mansion, and no other clues.
Liu Yuan waved his hand: "The one who saved you was Zhiying, she is my daughter."
He thought to himself, isn’t my rejection obvious enough?
