Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Vol 6 Chapter 71: Secret Underpass, Hidden Map

The Shenlong Pagoda, a high tower built under the supervision of Emperor Yinglong himself, is made of white jade-colored stone bricks, which is very similar to the jade bricks in the secret realm of Baiyujing.

Long Long and Longhu were protected in a quiet room at the bottom of the Shenlong Pagoda. The monks of the Qilin family were closely guarded outside, and they were guarded by layers of guards, so that not even a fly could easily fly in.

Of course, without Long Long bothering to explain, Longhu can also see that this "protection" also means "imprisonment".

After all, the **** of the original Dragon Clan envoys had also been isolated at this time, and they were not allowed to visit inside.

After realizing this, Longhu became obviously anxious.

Fortunately, with Long Long by her side, she didn't panic too much, she just kept twitching her tail nervously.

"Don't stroke it." Long Long reluctantly persuaded, "If you stroke it again, your tail will be bald."

"I won't be bald." Longhu was a little unhappy.

The two have been locked in this underground room for almost a whole day.

Not only did no one come to visit, but there was no one to deliver at least water. Although the monsters have gotten rid of their dependence on blood and food after the transformation, this inhumane treatment still highlights the contempt of the Qilin clan for them... It's just a matter of saying, "You two, stay safe with me, Don't run around and attract assassins."

In this regard, Longlong has no good solution.

What he can confirm at present is that the Qilin family will never harm himself and the dragon fox, because that would be equivalent to tearing the face of the blue dragon family.

But on this basis, Long Long highly suspects that the Canglong clan is using himself and the dragon fox as bargaining chips to engage in some kind of political game with the Qilin clan, otherwise the clan will not be indifferent to the fact that the two are now " imprisoned "... Even if it is mainly to protect the safety of the two, this kind of treatment is too harsh and rude.

Thinking about it carefully, the purpose behind the assassin's assassination of himself and Longhu is also very simple - it should be to kill them both.

Because the current political form is too clear: Zhongzhou Qilin and Nanzhou Zhuniao have just stopped fighting, and it is impossible to fight against Dongzhou Canglong again.

Considering that Qilin still has the support of Xuanwu and Baihu, Canglong naturally has no idea of ​​challenging Qilin. The peace between the two clans is based on the fear of each other's strength, and it cannot be easily shaken by an assassination incident.

Considering that the mastermind behind the scenes cannot fail to see this, the only explanation for the motive of the assassination is the assassination itself.

But have Longhu and I offended anyone?

No!

Longlong has always been kind to people, and never easily enmity with people. Even on the way from Nanzhou to the north, he may have had a little unpleasantness with some Yu clan, but he would not let the other party use so much force. The means to assassinate himself... According to Qing Pingjian, that blow already has the strength to assassinate the Yuan Ying cultivator.

It's puzzling.

Fortunately, he soon ran out of time to think any more, because the dragon fox began to wander around the room, sniffing everywhere.

"It's windy here," she said suddenly.

"What's the wind?" Long Long was stunned when he heard the words.

"Shh." Longhu raised his index finger and said, "There is air movement in this room."

"Of course there is air movement in this room." Long Long said indifferently, "because there is a fox circling around the room, and there are still hairs floating in the breeze."

"I didn't mean the wind I brought up!" Longhu shouted angrily, and then lowered his voice, "I mean... I suspect that there is a secret passage here."

"Dark way?"

"Only the gaps in the dark passages will bring in the outside air." Longhu continued to wander around the corner of the room, touching here and there from time to time, and inspecting it carefully.

Seeing what she said with such certainty, Long Long couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Since my fox is so sure, I might as well double-check it.

So Long Long accompanied Longhu and patrolled the room.

With careful search and scanning, Long Long finally found that the airflow that Longhu said came from the floor under the two of them.

Lifting the carpet on the ground, I saw a huge stone brick below.

The stone bricks are very thick, and the percussion sound does not seem to be hollow. The dragon fox is curiously lying on the edge of the floor bricks, and realizes that the breath is indeed seeping from the gaps along the edge of the stone bricks.

vents? No, who would put ventilation under the floor!

Longhu took out the Huming Sword and tried to pry the stone brick up from the edge of the gap.

She blushed hard, but the stone bricks remained motionless, as if mocking her futility.

Long Long was silent for a moment, then put his hand on the floor tile.

The Five Elements Divine Light erupted from his palm, and the floor tiles seemed to dissolve, and soon disappeared.

"It's amazing!" Longhu immediately exclaimed, "Long Long, what kind of bloodline magical power do you have?"

"It's just a trick." Although the Eastern Emperor Realm and the Human Realm do not communicate with each other, Longlong didn't plan to tell the little fox anything, but just skillfully changed the topic, "Huh?

Below the stone brick, there is a vertical corridor, and there are fixed wooden ladders and switches on the side of the corridor.

After carefully observing the structure of the switch and the cross-section of the dissolved stone brick, Longlong knew that the stone brick was actually driven by a one-way switch.

If someone climbs up from the tunnel below, they can use the switch on the side of the tunnel to push the stone bricks from the bottom to the top with the principle of leverage. Conversely, if it is a person in the room, because the stone bricks themselves are heavy and there is no available The handle of the force, so it is impossible to pry it up.

"Longlong." Longhu whispered again, "Are we going down?"

"Wait a minute." Long Long cast his eyes to the door of the room.

There were two Qilin monks standing outside the door, responsible for guarding the room and preventing them from going out.

But if there is no sound in the room for a long time, there is no guarantee that the two will not come in to check.

"A Jing, let's have some illusions!" Long Long ordered.

Kunlun Jing responded, and gave the unicorn monks outside a simple spiritual suggestion, telling them not to have the idea of ​​coming in to check the room.

"Let's go down." After taking the final precautionary measures, Long Long ordered, "I'll go down first, you follow me."

"Well~www.readwn.com~ Longhu is eager to try.

Long Long leaned down. The wooden ladder was a little old, but there was no sign of decay. The dust on it was thick.

As Longhu said, the ventilation below is very good, obviously it is not a dead end, but leads to another place.

After dragging the carpet above to cover the entrance of the hole, the two continued to descend, and they reached the ground at about five or six feet.

The tunnel here is very low, and it can only allow two people to pass through it, and the deeper it goes, the darker it becomes.

Longlong, who has the blood of the scale family, makes him not afraid of the dark and humid environment, but the little fox is a little afraid, so he can only hold Longlong from behind and walk forward cautiously.

Long Long frowned slightly.

This front armor is really in the way!
