Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 137
After the staggering footsteps of the fat chef gradually disappeared, the surroundings of the Palace Palace were as quiet as death.
Staring at the closed black wooden door as far as possible, thoughts flew in my mind, trying to find some clues from the hasty gathering and dispersing just a moment ago, I felt that my wrist was tight, and the air under my feet was flying lightly. Up.
The brother must have noticed that wave of fluctuations… He turned his head silently, and saw Yun Buyi’s eyes that had brightened into silver **** of light, and the divine power of silky threads filled the moonlight, almost blending with the light. The Moon Concealment Technique, in its complete state, lifted them up on the ground like invisible palms, slowly falling onto the black glazed tiles on the top of the hall by the wind.
This fall silently did not attract the attention of the guards below.
The three of them were in a heavy siege, unable to speak, and could only communicate with them by gestures. Seizing the time as far as possible to make a simple gesture of what happened just now, the two companions were lost in thought and did not immediately reply. He took the opportunity to move two steps outside and glanced carefully under the eaves.
This side hall is five stories high and covers an area of no more than two hundred square meters. Its shape is simple and elegant, but there are few carved and painted walls. It is all black and painted wooden walls and tiles. Standing at the corner of the eaves, the doors and windows were locked and airtight, and there was no one patrolling the corridors. It seemed that it was an idle residence.
However, I have seen the floor plan of the palace as far away as possible, and I know that the Piandian is a secret place for the Jade King to handle private affairs. The dozens of guards below are enough to prove its importance. As the prince, Shun must also know that this place is not to be trespassed. Why did he sneak in?
He hadn’t told the prince about the secret plan of the Jade King, let alone guessing the other party’s intention. While thinking about it, he suddenly stretched out the girl’s snow-cold arm from the side, and wrote four words lightly on the back of his hand: Act separately.
Turning his head in astonishment as far as he could, Le Liu didn’t know when he had stood beside him, still lowered his head, letting his bangs cover his face, never giving him another look. He didn’t understand the girl’s intention at all, but the other party made it clear that he didn’t want to pay attention to him, so he could only look at the brother for help.
Yun Buyi had already reduced most of his divine light, still holding the arms of the two of them, their gleaming silver eyes turned around, quite playful. Seeing the younger brother turned around, he just nodded, but didn’t give much explanation. He clung to the two of them and jumped to the top of the tall building.
I didn’t know what he had planned, subconsciously clenched the spear, looking at the guards who stood upright like a black stone pillar, and felt that there was a burst of light next to him, turning his head to look, and his pupils were shocked. Zhang.
There were white lines on the edges of the maid’s elbows, and the joints slid outward with a click. The forearms suddenly contracted inward as if they were being sucked in, and a pair of magical barrels flashing white light instantly emerged. The body of the tube is full of silver magic patterns, carved almost indifferently, illuminated by the blue moonlight, as gorgeous and dazzling as a bracelet made of sterling silver.
She is actually a modification alchemist! He stared wide at the shining silver barrel, barely looking away, remembering the ice-like touch when the girl wrote on his hand twice, and finally realized the reason at this moment.
He was shocked that before he recovered, Le Liu was ready to launch. She lowered her head and stretched her hands flat, not looking for the target at all, and aimed at the snowy ground at the edge of the giant woods ahead. As soon as the silver light in the barrel flashed, the two beams of light rushed out, except for a slight magic buzzing Besides, even the slightest noise was not heard.
The blazing energy melted two black spots on the snow in the blink of an eye, a few meters deeper and several meters underground, which shows its power. Although almost silent, such a striking change naturally attracted the attention of the guards outside the temple. Dozens of people before and after as if smelling flies, Wu Yaya all rushed over, stepping neatly and rushing to the two breaches.
After the maid sent the beam, Yun Buyi immediately leaped up, leading them to shift their directions to prevent them from being noticed. Seeing that all the guards were transferred away, he did not hesitate to fly down to the front of the hall, push the closed door, and involuntarily stuffed in as far as he was still in a daze, then he took the door and pulled Le Liu. Nodding to the top again.
The girl stood on the eaves in the wind, her dark pupils covered by her bangs did not blink, focusing on the dark shadows underneath. Whenever they found no results and wanted to turn around, she would launch the magic light cannon again and punch a few holes elsewhere. Dozens of guards were actually like puppets, just following the direction of her shelling, without thinking about where the attacker was, and seeing the spy leader was astonished.
She must have dealt with these weird people, otherwise, how could she understand their behavior so much… Yun Buyi looked away from the group of unpredictable guards, glanced at the girl in front of him, and remembered her just now. A few words plan written on the back of his hand: you and me, lure the enemy, as far as possible, sneak in.
He didn’t know why the other party had such confidence and wanted to provoke dozens of guards head-on, but he had to say that this plan coincided with his idea.
As a royal spy, Yun Buyi knew some of the secret methods hidden in the Jade King’s Mansion. Although the prince has rushed into the side hall, he does not know what the situation is, but in his opinion, it is more appropriate to stay outside the hall as a back-up instead of following impulsively. After all, once his magical moon hiding technique enters the house , The effect will be lost in a blink of an eye, and it is not easy to hide again.
Having said that, he also knows how good the junior brother and the prince are, and he can’t help but worry. In this way, Le Liu’s suggestion can really kill two birds with one stone. Of course, more importantly, after all, she is also an outsider no matter what, any secrets in the Jade King’s Mansion are royal privacy and must not be leaked!
Yun Bu also looked at the girl who was calm and composed and twirled the black guards like a manipulator, and suddenly realized that with the intelligence of the other party, she might have seen her own plan long ago. He was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stretched out the hand that was finally empty, gently brushed the jade jug around his waist, and finally hooked his mouth, revealing a little sympathetic smile.
Unprepared to prevent being stuffed into the side hall by the senior, before he could think deeply, he first rolled around and hid in a dark corner, and the cat glanced around.
There was no light in the hall, and there was not much left after the clear moonlight passed through the layers of screens inside and outside the wooden windows. The gray light reflected on the opposite white wall, and it was barely possible to see the outlines of several low tables, lamp stands, and round chairs around.
Unattended? He dilated his pupils and searched back and forth several times. He didn’t see any figure, but he didn’t dare to be careless. He still bends over, clenched the spear, avoiding the moonlight-shrouded central area, and slowly rubbed the wall inward. .
Although the brother did not clearly explain the plan to him, he has already entered at this moment, and the most important thing is to find Shun’s whereabouts first. Although he has never been to the side hall of the palace, fortunately, the basic structure of the palace building in the country is mostly similar. He just looked back and forth a few times, and he has already estimated the possible entrance and exit positions.
The neat footsteps of the black guards outside the hall were still hovering from far and near, making no noise as far as they could, tiptoes almost creeping around the front hall, and indeed they found the upward staircase. He looked up first, only to find a carved bronze door locked at the end of the black wooden staircase, and a circle of fluorite lined the door lock with a complicated loop pattern, which seemed to be a well-designed password mechanism.
He didn’t see the slightest movement between the floors just outside the hall, and he couldn’t figure out whether Shun had found out the code and went upstairs. While he was leaning heavily on his spear and thinking, there were a few light sounds of slate friction from behind. He hurriedly drew back, dived into the shadows under the stairs like a fish, and waited with bated breath.
Only a short distance away, there were two heavy footsteps like a drum, and then the drum beat suddenly accelerated, as if he had sensed the invasion of the foreign enemy, he rushed toward the wooden ladder.
How did he discover me! ? In the dim light, I saw a group of dark shadows leaping rapidly from the corner of the wall as far as possible. I didn’t think much about it, and waved to the person. The divine power of the silver space swayed, and it deftly bypassed the stairs. In a blink of an eye, the assailants were trapped in groups and fixed in the air. He still held a heavy gun in his right hand, and stretched his left arm forward, pulling it vainly like a fishing net, as if a thread stuck to the cage of supernatural power, instantly pulling the person under the wooden ladder.
He immediately stepped forward, shaken open the black cloak to cover the shining space barrier, and listened carefully to the opposite corner for a while, and then he was relieved to make sure that there was nothing unusual, and turned his head to look at the harvest of this raid.
With the silver light emitted by the divine power, the appearance of the attacker is clearly distinguishable. The man still maintained a leap posture, his figure was very burly, even if the thick black cloak covered his face, it could not cover the bulging muscle lines of the whole body. I saw the blood-red nails on the tip of the other party’s slantingly outstretched palm as far as possible, and my heart was shocked. When I looked up, I found the red saliva stuck to my chest, and three big words popped up in my mind. : Man in blood!
How could he forget these monsters who had driven himself into trouble twice! Even if the opponent did not radiate the bleeding red power at the moment, it was enough to serve as evidence of the Jade King’s secretly plotting wrongdoing. It’s just that according to his experience, the blood-clothed monsters never appear alone, which means that the Jade Palace may have become a nest for nurturing these monsters…
Worse, Shun did not know that there was a blood-clothed monster here! The alarm bells in his head, no longer caring to deal with the captured prey, carried a heavy gun and ran to the opposite corner. Although the whereabouts of friends have not yet been known, if the source of these monsters is found, at least it will prevent Shun from being attacked unsuspectingly.
He was in the silence and darkness, and his heart couldn’t stop growing anxious, and no matter how much attention he paid, he would inevitably bump into the edge of the furniture. But the strange thing was that even if he hit a few ping-pong noises in a row, no one appeared inside or outside the hall, as if there was only one trapped guard in the five-story building.
He ran to the corner as fast as he could, and looked down. The stone ladder leading to the lower level was in front of him. At the end of the stairs was a dark iron gate with a hole, shining yellow light, and there was no one inside and outside. I am afraid that there will be an ambush inside… He flashed a little guess, but he was not afraid. He only leaned the heavy gun behind his back, tapped his foot and got in with a light leap.
The light inside the iron gate is dim, and a few yellow glaze lamps hung on the wall in the distance, illuminating the square tunnel-like space around it, all of which are flat black stone surfaces, as if they were made of nature. There were still no guards in the empty stone road. He cautiously turned his head and swept outside the door, then walked on tiptoe and quietly glanced at the corner.
In the front is a half-opened black jade stone door, on which the complicated circular code pattern is still expelled with fluorite. A pair of Panlong copper frames were placed in front of the door, burning a few pieces of snow-white incense charcoal, the charcoal fire was no longer visible, and it was trembling in the yin wind blowing from the Shimen.
Why is it still unguarded? He faintly felt that something was wrong, did not dare to act rashly, and listened for a while, and suddenly he noticed that there was a voice coming from ahead. Because he was too far away, the voice was as vague as the wind, and he listened carefully to a few sentences, but he couldn’t tell a general idea.
Since there is someone talking in the door, there is always a chance to listen to the real and the truth, so as not to walk around aimlessly. He moved cautiously to the stone gate, glanced in, then flashed in sideways, following the sound.
As soon as he entered Moyumen, the light instantly brightened a lot. There were a few magical headlights hanging under the black stone slab overhead. There were closed stone chambers on the left and right. The golden flying dragon was carved on the door of the room, still flaring its teeth and dancing under the dim light. It looked like a huge main hall directly in front, and the stone gate was still closed. On the side of the door stood two statues of Blackstone generals holding swords fighting each other, and those faint conversations were coming from the gate.
I didn’t want to stay in this bright area for too long, so as not to be discovered. I speeded up my pace and walked forward on the aisle Shimen, suddenly stopping like a sudden stop.
This is… Shun’s voice! When I got here, I could finally distinguish the very familiar tone as far as possible, but my heart jumped wildly, and the distracting thoughts were boiling like water: Who is he talking to? Is there a blood-clothed monster inside? Beside him… is there someone guarding?
Shun’s tone of voice was calm, but his intensity gradually increased. He only felt that anger was being pressed under the seemingly calm tone, and he quickly suppressed the agitation in his heart, and a light leap fell to the black stone statue, and he pressed against the black jade stone door to carefully listen to the movement inside.
“…This is my royal family secret, it’s not your turn to point your finger!” Hearing this almost thunderous shout, he couldn’t stop frowning as far as he could: Unexpectedly, the King of Jade was also inside. This is tricky. I just hope they have no plans to do it yet…
The prince fell into silence as soon as he was drunk, or suppressed his anger, and then responded in a low voice: “In that case, please uncle Ling, be more careful…”
He seemed to be leaving, but a string of stern protests sounded inside the door: “No! I have to take Yuming away for anything I say today! Uncle, I think you are crazy! Look at him like this, three points People are seventy percent like ghosts, do you really want to kill him!”
“Presumptuous!” This loud shout was mixed with a few rumbling thunderbolts, and the shock was so loud that even the secret road outside the door reverberated. It seemed that the Jade King was really angry.
The few sentences just now came from Monk Shui Ling. With her present, Shun was not alone at all, but Jin Yuan felt a little more settled. Only in the next second, this point was not much relief, and it was swallowed by another hoarse laugh.
“Please stay calm, everyone… Since everyone has disagreements, it’s better to stay here for the time being. When the little boy wakes up, ask for more details and it will be clear.”
This weird voice… is the spiritual monk withered! It turns out that he has been hiding in the Jade King’s Mansion, no wonder no one can find his whereabouts! He took a breath as far away as he could, and he felt as if he was secretly stared at by a poisonous snake, and his whole body was covered with inexplicable anxiety.
But before he could think about it in the future, he heard the prince let out a cold snort: “You want to stop me?”
“Hehe…” Ku Rong gave another dry laugh, and said in a shrill voice, “How can you be so rude if you are so small. It’s just that because someone misses your Highness too much, I want to ask you to stay for a few days… I said Is that right, as far as you can?”
His name was called out at this moment, and the gun guard was not mentally prepared, as if a piece of ice was suddenly attached to his spine, which made him shiver. He didn’t know where the stuffing was exposed, and just about to turn around to avoid it, the black jade stone gate in front of him suddenly closed on both sides, exposing his whole person.
He was standing with his ears against the stone gate. Once the support was removed, it was difficult to maintain his balance. Subconsciously, he threw the heavy gun and took two steps to make a defensive posture. Then he raised his head and swept across the hall quickly.
The round stone room hall is vast and bright. The four walls are still made of quaint black stone. Below the towering ceiling hangs a pure gold statue of a flying dragon drawing water. The dragon body is more than 100 meters long, and there is a Ye Ming with a diameter of more than one meter in the mouth. The gemstone, Zhanzhan, Qinghui almost shines like the sun and the moon.
Just below the dragon’s head, there were several figures standing on the left and right. On the right side is a Jade King with a gold and black robe so angry that his beard and hair are spread, and a spiritual monk with black velvet cloak covering his whole body with Rong Rong; on the left side is unexpectedly, standing or sitting, there are four people.
Tai Zishun was naturally the one standing first. He is wearing a luxurious fur cloak, holding the scarlet long knife at his waist, turning his head and looking at him, his eyes are full of incredibly cold light. Ling, wearing a red dress, knelt and sat on the ground behind him, staring at Fengyan, and frowning between her brows. She held a young man in a green shirt in her arms, facing the inside motionless, and seemed to have fallen into a coma. Hearing what they said just now, this person was Yuming who wanted to come.
There was still a person standing behind the female monk, wearing the uniform of the black guards of the palace, with his head down and his back erect, but it was the ink he assumed to be a conspirator. Suppressed by the mighty force of the Jade King’s anger, although his face was flushed and speechless, he still held the dagger and his muscles were as tight as iron, and all his attention was paid to the unconscious jade. Ming body.
As soon as Shimen opened, everyone’s eyes suddenly focused. Because of his unbalanced defensive posture, in the eyes of the prince, he looked like an accomplice blocking the door and not letting go!
“Far far!” Shun felt that something was wrong after he met Ku Rong in this secret room. Seeing that the Jade King didn’t let go, he was planning to retreat first and then find someone to discuss countermeasures. He didn’t expect that this person was blocking his way!
He clenched his waist knife firmly, remembering what he had said in the fishing village that day, and hearing all the explanations, he could only bite blood from his teeth with hatred.
Good one has a hard heart, good one does not want to deceive! Don’t the facts be right before you! ? He was in a fight with the Ku Rong group tomorrow morning, secretly planning to this day, and he actually wanted to lie to me! ! ! It’s ridiculous that I dream about it every midnight, and the idea of finding someone to look into it after moving it really is a horror in the world!
He looked at the familiar figure holding a gun blocking the door, and at the unchanging indifferent expression, he trembled with anger, and the blood poured into the trembling veins of the forehead.
The gun guard heard this hateful cry, secretly saying bad. How could he be caught in the trap of others like this, just trying to explain a few words, but for some reason, he suddenly heard a sharp pain like being torn, followed by a shock in his mind, a flashing gold star appeared in front of him, and he was lost at a loss. perception.
It seemed that it was only a moment, and it seemed that after a long time, all thoughts finally returned to the body as far away as possible. There were still patches of golden flowers flying in front of him, and he didn’t think much about it. First, he squeezed the heavy gun, waved open the space wall shield to protect him, shook his dizzy head vigorously, and then looked intently.
The prince did not know when he had already drew out the long knife, his face was so heavy that he couldn’t find any expression, and his dark eyes were fixed to him, but there was only a dead gray strange hole in his eyes.
What happened just now! ? Shun’s expression was already extremely wrong. He suddenly noticed the hairy threats coming from behind him, and suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened.
The closed stone room outside the hall was all opened at this moment, and countless people in black robes crowded outside, enclosing the entire secret corridor. They are different in height, but they are all standing stiff like dead bodies, looking at them stupidly, like puppet soldiers waiting for a charge signal.
No breathing, no footsteps, no signs of life around him. All that was left was the stench that filled the entire secret road, and the blood-red divine light that was constantly dissipating from the pair of eye sockets that were almost torn apart, as dark as a thick fog!
