The emperor's final announcement at the concubine selection banquet was like a huge stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, which immediately caused huge waves in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as Su Li's carriage arrived in front of the mansion, it was immediately surrounded by a dark group of people, who were obviously well prepared. Now she is a princess conferred by the emperor. There is no princess in the palace. Among the women of her generation inside and outside the court, no one can compare with her.
Su Xiangru, who had always been calm and majestic, was also smiling at this moment. He and Mrs. Su personally greeted her in front of the house. After a few words of greeting, they surrounded her to the flower hall like stars holding the moon.
As everyone sat down, Su Li didn't say much, and only briefly described the situation at the concubine selection banquet. Just this extremely simple description made Su Xiangru couldn't help but murmur: "Okay, okay." I thought that winning the favor of the two princes was a great blessing, but who could have imagined that even The current supremely powerful emperor and empress also paid so much attention to her, which really exceeded his expectations.
The daughter of a concubine who had never been taken seriously before me had a clear and beautiful appearance, a calm expression, and was unfazed by favors and humiliations. She indeed had a noble demeanor that was difficult for ordinary people to match! Su Xiangru narrowed his eyes, feeling deeply that Su Li's move was very safe. The grand concubine selection banquet evolved into the husband selection banquet after March. During this process, she was adaptable and adaptable, which shows that she is a hundred times higher than ordinary women!
No matter which prince Su Li chooses after March, she will always be the best candidate for queen in the eyes of the emperor and empress. Then, her husband will most likely be the next emperor! Now it is not that he, Su Xiangru, wants to make friends with powerful people, but two princes are coming to make friends with him! He seems to have seen that his future political career is about to reach a new level.
Su Li looked at Su Xiangru who was overjoyed. How could he not have imagined what he was thinking? After chatting for a while, they said they were tired and wanted to go back to their room to rest. Mrs. Su stood up quickly and greeted her politely. Su Li refused, so he left the flower hall with her.
The two of them walked slowly towards the back garden. Mrs. Su felt uneasy and hesitated to speak. Su Li saw it and understood clearly in her heart, and said straightforwardly: "Madam, there is no need to worry too much. As long as she behaves herself from now on, Su Li can no longer pursue the past matters."
On the day Su Li was sold, she was accidentally rescued by Dongfang Ze. Su Qin was frightened and had already confessed the truth to Mrs. Su.
. Later, when the matter was brought up at the family dinner, Su Li skillfully smoothed it over, and she was relieved a little. Who would have thought that at today's concubine selection banquet, this matter would be exposed again by Dongfang Ze in public. Hearing that the Holy Lord Long Yan was furious, he wanted to investigate thoroughly.
Mrs. Su was very anxious after getting the news. She was afraid of causing harm to Su Qin, so she did not dare to tell Su Xiangru for a while. After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to shamelessly ask Su Li for help in person. Unexpectedly, before I had a chance to speak, my little thoughts were clearly seen.
Her old face turned red and white, and then turned red again. The arrogant attitude she used to have in front of Su Li was wiped away. She nodded awkwardly when she heard the words, said yes again and again, and promised in a low voice: "Qin'er, I will keep a close eye on you. Li'er... thank you."
"Madam's words are serious, but Su Li doesn't dare to take them seriously. It's windy today, so madam should go back to her room to rest early." Su Li still had the same indifferent expression. Having said that, there is no point in pretending anymore. Mrs. Su said no more at the moment, and the two of them went back to their rooms.
It's not that she is broad-minded, but that the trouble is already foreseeable and can be avoided naturally. It is better to just give Mrs. Su a smooth favor. Su Qin has learned a lot of lessons. Now that her status is different from that of the past, I understand that she does not dare to offend easily again. In the next time, she will devote all her energy to tracking down clues to the Lisu case.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. Starting from the next day of the concubine selection banquet, Su Li's small courtyard was full of people coming and going like a revolving door. People in the mansion who used to avoid her like the god of plague all found various excuses to see her. There were endless tricks. Even Mo Xiang became the object of fawning and clinging.
Su Li responded with a few false words at first, but later when she saw too many people, she couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Mo Xiang to close the courtyard door, announcing that she was unwell and not seeing anyone no matter who it was. After a few days of this, the tranquility of the past gradually returned.
Those disturbed thoughts slowly became clear in my mind.
The Fengling Blood Jade was in the Queen's hands, and she couldn't get it for a while, so she couldn't find out whether it had been tampered with. The man in black who was chasing Li Su that day had profound martial arts skills, fast and steady swordsmanship, and his moves were aimed at the vital point. He was obviously a deadly killer skilled in this art. He was stabbed in the right arm by a gold hairpin, and he could still kill him with the unimpeded flexibility of his left-hand sword. How many people in the world could match this unique skill? ! And there are probably only a few killers with such outstanding abilities who are not from Shenmen...
Su Li's eyes were slightly cold, and he slowly placed the already cold teacup in his hand on the table, and called softly: "To save my heart."
"What are your orders, Miss?" Wan Xin came in response. Since there was no response to several hints a while ago, she has been called back to Shenmen more and more frequently, and she has become more and more silent.
. In the hot sunshine of early summer, her face looked a little haggard and pale.
Su Li smiled and said, "It's nothing. I see that you don't look very good lately. Are you... worried about something?"
Wan Xin paused and whispered, "Thank you, Miss, for your concern. Wan Xin is fine. It's just that in the near future... Wan Xin may have to leave for a while and can't be with Miss Attendant."
"Oh? Why?"
He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Recently, the disciples in the sect have been frequently killed and suffered heavy casualties. When the sect master learned about it, he was very angry. He has ordered an all-out counterattack and ordered the four of me to be on duty at any time."
When Su Li heard this, he was also shocked. Shenmen gathered four killers to attack at the same time. This is something unprecedented, right? How strong an opponent should the other party be? Without any warning, Dongfang Ze's black eyes, as deep as a cold pool, suddenly popped into her mind.
It must be him!
The assassination in Youhu was obviously a ploy to lure the enemy. Although he failed because of Su Li, the threat was still there. Foguang Temple failed to identify the contact person in public, which must have made him very angry. Apart from Dongfang Ze, who else can make the leader of the Shen Sect so aggressive in the near future? ! She couldn't help but secretly take a breath of air. She didn't know how thrilling this battle must be!
She calmed down and warned: "I see... Then you must be more careful when you go to ensure a safe return."
"Thank you for your concern, Miss."
"You four must have something special that makes the sect master rely on you so much. With you here, Shen Sect will definitely be able to turn danger into good fortune this time." Su Li asked seemingly unintentionally, drinking tea with a smile.
He nodded and said: "The four of us are called the Four Great Killers in the world, but in Shenmen we are the Four Ambassadors. The Ghost Ambassador is good at medicine and poisoning, and the Wealth Ambassador is good at disguise and Qinggong. I am called the Miao Ambassador. To me, He is involved in various martial arts and mental techniques. The other one is a swordsman with exquisite swordsmanship, especially the sword in his left hand. Even if he fights with me with one hand, he will not be inferior. If the four of us join forces to fight, we should be infallible."
Hearing "left-hand sword", Su Li's heart skipped a beat, her eyes slowly moved to Wan Xin's face, and she said with a breathless smile: "Left-handed sword? It sounds very special, but I don't know how many people in the world can practice this skill. .”
Wan Xin replied without hesitation: "For ordinary people to practice martial arts, unless they are born with a flexible left hand, otherwise no one will use their left hand to practice swordsmanship. In all the years Wan Xin has traveled around the world, except for swordsmen, I have never seen anyone with this special ability.
. "
This answer coincided with her judgment.
All this time, she had not agreed to the conditions of the Shenmen Clan Master, just to avoid the dispute between Shenmen and Dongfangze. However, after searching again and again, two clues closely related to the Li Su case finally pushed her into the whirlpool of this secret war.
Su Li's eyes grew colder, and he lightly glanced at her slightly pale cheeks. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and she was ordered to come and convince herself, but she never received a reply. With Shen Men's strict management of his subordinates, how could she escape punishment?
Without further ado, this trip to Shenmen seems to be a must.
"To save my heart, prepare a car immediately and take me to see the door owner." Su Li calmly stood up and returned to the room, giving instructions softly.
Wan Xin looked at her in surprise and said in surprise: "Miss, why..."
Su Li stood at the door and turned around, smiled slightly and said: "Shenmen is the number one killer organization in the world, and each member has his or her own strengths, so the leader must be an extraordinary person. I want to learn some special skills, so how can I not do it myself? visit."
I still have doubts about my heart, and I hesitate to speak.
"Don't worry, I don't want to join your family, but I can discuss a deal with the owner." Su Li patted her hand gently, with a smile in her eyes.
Wan Xin was stunned for a moment. The second young lady of the Su family, who used to be weak and frail in the past, has completely transformed. She said no more, and after getting ready, they quietly left the house together.
No one could have imagined that the entrance to Shenmen, the most mysterious organization in the world, would be like this.
In the empty depths of Mount Sumeru at night, weeds grow wildly, and a few small tombs that have long been deserted are scattered here and there. The night wind whimpers by, adding to the eerie feeling.
Wan Xin and Su Li were carefully bypassing the Five Elements Formation in front of them. Both of them were dressed in black, with Shen Men's iconic silver masks on their faces. The special material, against the backdrop of the moonlight, There was a cold light, and the moving figure was as erratic as a ghost.
Rao Si Wan Xin is very familiar with this place, and never dares to take it lightly, because once a seemingly simple path takes half a step, it will be like encountering a ghost hitting a wall, and he will never be able to go out until the visitor is exhausted. Die from exhaustion.
Taking the last step into the safe zone, Wan Xingfang breathed a sigh of relief.
.
Su Li couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder no one has been able to find Shenmen for so many years. There is only one entrance and it is so complicated."
Wanxin said in a low voice: "Shenmen has been standing in the world for many years and has made countless enemies. It all depends on the sect master's caution. If not, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago..." Before she could finish her words, she suddenly walked a few steps quickly and pushed the door open in front of her. A clump of weeds about half a man's height suddenly appeared on the mountain wall, and a stone gate was ajar.
Wan Xin's expression changed, and she stretched out her hand to push the door open. A gust of cold wind blew in her face, bringing with it a hint of sweetness. The fierce sounds of fighting inside the door, as well as the crisp impact of weapons, were clearly heard.
The two of them stopped in unison and looked at each other.
Wan Xin immediately said vigilantly: "Oh no! I'm afraid the situation may change, but the young lady should leave quickly to ensure safety."
Su Li frowned, knowing that given her status, it was definitely not appropriate to stay for a long time at this time, so she stopped talking and nodded immediately: "Then you should proceed with caution." She was about to turn around and leave, when Huan Xin suddenly grabbed her, He quickly lowered his body, put his right ear close to the ground, listened attentively for a while, and said in a cold voice: "It's too late, there are a large number of people behind the mountain col that are outflanking us."
The sound of uniform footsteps came faintly through the calm surface of the earth.
The road ahead is dangerous and unpredictable, and the pursuers behind us have arrived.
Wan Xin quickly hugged Su Li to his side, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Miss, come with me." After that, he pulled her and rushed into the stone door like a black light.
The long corridor seemed endless at first glance. Torches hung high on both sides of the wall, and the red flames jumped, illuminating the road as bright as day. Inside Shenmen, there was already a bloody storm. At a glance, it was shocking. The two parties were fighting in a melee, vowing to fight to the death.
From time to time, cold swords and arrows would stab at them, and Wan Xin would fly up with her lightly, put her feet on the wall, and overlook the chaotic corridor.
The deeper you go into the hinterland, the more fierce the fighting becomes. At a glance, you can see that there are as many as a thousand people fighting bloody battles. The main hall of Shenmen Headquarters has already become a purgatory on earth and a Shura field at this moment.
The three people fighting fiercely in the main hall were entangled in a heavy sword light, and hundreds of moves were passed in the blink of an eye. Looking from a distance, it seemed like two black figures were besieging a man in a gray cloth robe. The two men in dark black clothes were wielding swords fiercely and forcefully, and blood was flying wherever the strong wind passed by. No one was spared.
. The gray-white figure was already slightly defeated. He had no power to parry, but no chance to fight back.
Su Li glanced at him and suddenly saw someone standing at the door of the hall, with his back to him. That man in black clothes and gold crown seems to be... Dongfang Ze!
Wan Xin also saw Dongfang Ze, and hurriedly pulled her down and quietly slipped in to the left. This is a dead end, and there seems to be no way out! She glanced sharply with her eyes, then flicked her finger in the air, hitting a switch somewhere. A bluestone brick on the ground slid open silently, revealing a secret passage, and the two of them jumped in quickly.
The stone bricks instantly returned to their positions, and in the dark secret passage, the heart-warming steps did not stop. He eagerly pulled Su Li forward and continued walking, as if he could see at night. After turning two more turns, there was suddenly a faint light in front of him. The light came through.
Su Li took a closer look and saw that they were two luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs, hanging high on the top of the door in front of them. The dark door became even more gleaming and mysterious.
Wan Xin stood still in front of the door, bowed and said: "Mr. Shen Men, there is a reason for what happened today. I opened the secret room without permission from the door master without permission. I hope the door owner will forgive me." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to touch the stone wall on the right side of the door. A piece of stone brick, Qiao Qiao gently pushed it inward, only to hear the iron door creaking and slowly opened.
Overjoyed, he quickly pulled her inside. Su Li looked around cautiously, doubts growing in her heart.
This secret room is not too big. The room is strangely hexagonal in shape, with several wooden boxes stacked in every corner. There is only a simple table and chairs on the front, and a picture of a girl meditating is hung on the wall on the side of the wooden table. She was dressed in white, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was smiling. She was sitting on a deep pool of light green lotus leaves. At a glance, she felt peaceful and peaceful, but she also had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Now Shenmen is in a critical juncture of life and death. As long as we can save the sect leader, my subordinates will not care about all these taboos." After saying that, Huanxin said to Su Li: "Miss, let's search here carefully. If we can find Shenmen The internal distribution map of the secret passages of the organs must have a glimmer of hope."
Su Li nodded, her eyes falling on the wooden boxes. Wan Xin had already stepped forward to open the box, and exclaimed in shock: "This is my Shenmen's unique poisonous smoke. Inhaling it can cause people to faint."
Su Li's heart moved when she saw that the tables and chairs were empty. It was obvious that the owner had kept confidential things in a secret place. But in such a secret place, there is such a strange picture hanging, there must be some mystery behind it! Su Li stepped forward, lifted up the painting, and examined it carefully. Sure enough, she found a small mechanism on the wall. She reached out and pressed hard.
There was just a "pop" sound, and the table suddenly bounced out a few feet. Where it was originally leaning against the wall, a four-drawer hidden compartment slowly rose up.
. Su Li and Wan Xin were both shocked.
Su Li didn't do anything, just looked at Wan Xin.
Wan Xin nodded, and Su Li reached out and opened the first small drawer. There were several books there. She flipped through them casually, thinking to herself that the conditions offered by the door owner that day were indeed true. What is recorded here is the essence of the secrets that people in the world dream of. It is classified in detail and covers a wide range of aspects, from martial arts to the medical theory of disguise. With this treasure, it’s no wonder that Shenmen can train such outstanding disciples as the Four Great Killers.
In addition, there was a very special booklet, the text used in it was a bunch of strange symbols. After flipping through a few pages, Su Li didn't recognize any of the words and didn't know what it was for.
The second drawer was opened, and a faint medicinal fragrance floated out. It turned out that there were several small porcelain bottles. Wan Xin held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The aroma drifted by. Su Li took a slight sniff and roughly figured out that the pills in this bottle were all made from rare medicinal materials.
Wan Xin suddenly remembered something and said: "Miss, the heavenly fragrant cardamom that Jiang Yuan once mentioned is probably placed here?"
Su Li said disapprovingly: "Who knows, this thing is of no use to me now anyway." At the concubine selection banquet, the emperor and the queen had seen her birthmark. If she rashly removed it at this time, it might cause trouble. .
She continued to open the third drawer, a small delicate wooden box, opened the lid, and placed a flower with a unique shape in it, with a delicate stem, double green leaves, and only one petal. It is transparent and white, except for the edge near the end, which gradually turns into a dazzling bright red. The whole flower is as big as a human finger, slender and delicate.
Love flower!
Su Li's heart was beating fast. She had been infected with a strange poison since she was a child. Her mother-in-law once drew a picture of this flower and searched everywhere, but found nothing. I didn’t expect to see it here!
Su Li concealed her inner excitement and opened the last drawer. Inside was a piece of silk. She was overjoyed and quickly unfolded it. She couldn't help but shout softly: "Found it!"
Wan Xin hurriedly came over, and the two of them took a closer look. Sure enough, this piece of silk was a map of the tunnel. The bright red cinnabar highlighted the location of all the traps under Shenmen. The blank spaces were densely packed with characters, written in small regular script. Marked with detailed notes.
The more Su Li looked at it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help but sigh to herself. The master of the Shen Sect was really thoughtful and the mechanism he designed was really exquisite.
. She glanced quickly, and suddenly a line of words caught Su Li's eyes. Her heart suddenly moved, and she followed the prompts and tapped the back of the chair three times to turn on the mechanism. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of weapons clashing violently from above her head.
Wan Xin's expression changed, and she suddenly raised her head and looked towards the roof.
Su Li smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, the sound came from above. The door owner installed copper pipes at the vents of the main hall and led them all the way to the top of the secret room. You don't need to go out to know what's going on above. It's really a good idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from the palace: "Master, be careful -" Then, there was a muffled "bang", and someone was hit hard in the chest by a palm, and his body flew out! He fell to the ground and rolled several times.
The sound of the fierce fighting suddenly disappeared. For a moment, it was extremely quiet, and only the rapid breathing of one person could be heard echoing in the hall.
"I didn't expect that the master of the Shen Sect, who was rumored to have unparalleled martial arts skills, would be so vulnerable!" Dongfang Ze said coldly, with a little disdain. He stood in the middle of the hall, his handsome face dimly illuminated by the flickering fire, making it difficult to see clearly. Only a pair of eyes shone coldly, ruthlessly.
The leader of the Shen Clan managed to stand up, unable to suppress the surge of blood in his body. He couldn't help but cough a few times, and a few strands of blood slipped from his mouth. After a while, Fang Anhui said hoarsely: "Ahem, King Zhenning is really good at it." , was able to counterattack my Shenmen, and today I lost at your hands, I... ahem, I underestimated you!"
Dongfangze snorted coldly, kicked Wei Shu who was lying aside, and sneered: "Do you think you can control my whereabouts by placing a Wei Shu next to me as a spy? The four killers trained by Shenmen, It's nothing. Using him to destroy your old home is just a way to treat others in the same way as others!" His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense! You are honest and honest. Explain clearly who is behind the scenes, and I can make your death more comfortable!"
"Hahaha!" The leader of the Shen Clan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "King Zhenning, you underestimate me too much! Although the Shen Clan is a gang organization, it also understands what it means to be a thief! Do you want to learn from me? Knowing the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid it's all in vain!" The leader of the Shenmen Sect knew very well that these successive assassinations had already become a quarrel with each other. He had gone to great lengths to find the Shenmen headquarters. How could Dongfang Ze take it lightly? Spare yourself? Now I'm afraid that the sooner he explains, the sooner he will die!
"You are so ignorant of current affairs when you are about to die!" Dongfangze slowly stepped forward, and the tall figure completely enveloped the body of Master Shenmen who was lying on the ground, as if he was a demon from hell. A faint sneer appeared on his lips, and he whispered without emotion: "Then let me see how long the benefits Dongfang Zhuo can give you can last your old bones.
! "
As soon as the words "Dongfang Zhuo" came out, Su Li's heart sank instantly in the secret room, and she suddenly gritted her teeth. Dongfangze's very confident tone clearly confirmed that Dongfang Zhuo was the mastermind behind his assassination. So, in order to counterattack Dongfang Zhuo, it was most likely that Dongfang Ze designed to destroy the marriage between the two kings!
A chill surged through her heart uncontrollably, and the blood all over her body seemed to have solidified! If all this is true... then what kind of terrible environment are you in? Could it be that in order to compete for the throne, they can do whatever they want regardless of everything and involve innocent people without any guilt! Dongfang Zhuo is like this, and even... Dongfang Ze is like this!
"Ah-", the leader of the Shen Sect gave a low cry of pain, instantly pulling her thoughts back.
Above the main hall, Dongfang Ze flicked his fingers continuously. The leader of the Shen Sect was horrified. He had no time to react. Several acupuncture points around his body had been struck by lightning, and he could no longer move an inch! He watched helplessly as a strong wind hit the muscles and bones of his right wrist. There was a soft "click" sound and the wrist bones were completely shattered! His face hidden behind the golden mask was instantly distorted, and a dense layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body. He roared and then held back! But the pain did not disappear. Instead, it turned into thousands of invisible ice needles that quickly traveled through the blood and impacted the heart wave by wave.
"How about it, compared to the poison you gave me that time at the Lancang River...isn't this taste better?" Dongfangze stopped his hand, and there was a deep hatred in his voice, which made people feel sick. Trembling, he smiled lightly and said slowly: "Since you don't want to die happily, I will play with you slowly! Come here! Search all the places here carefully inch by inch! I don't believe it, I can’t find any clues!”
"Haha!" The leader of the Shen Sect suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes flashed horribly, and he coughed and gasped: "Dongfangze! You want to find evidence? I'm afraid it's not that simple! Don't say you can't find it at all, even if Even if you find... you will find nothing!"
Dongfangze stood proudly with his hands behind his back, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Oh? The master must be disappointed this time. In this world, what I have determined to want... has never been unobtainable!"
At this moment, Su Li could completely imagine Dongfangze's arrogant look, looking down on all living beings! Is he really so conceited that he thinks he has everything in the world under his control
A silent sneer appeared on her lips. She thought of the sword in her left hand and frowned slightly. It was not yet clear whether Dongfang Ze was an enemy or a friend. The clue to Li Su's case now tied to the leader of the Shen Clan. She couldn't let him die so easily! With his eyes fixed on the agency map in front of him, a rescue plan was quickly formed after a moment. Su Li asked in a deep voice: "Wuanxin, do you want to save the sect leader?"
Wan Xin's eyes lit up, "Miss, do you have a way? If you can save the sect master, he will definitely repay you twice as much."
. The lady can also get what she wants! "
Su Li smiled slightly, "Okay, time is running out. I will only say it once. You have to listen carefully!"
The slender fingers moved quickly on the map, and in conjunction with Su Li's concise explanation, in a short while, the advance and retreat routes and the final meeting point were listed. Hearing the careful thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he murmured: " The young lady is indeed very smart, now Shen Men can be saved!"
Su Li muttered: "Use the poisonous smoke to confuse the enemy and lead the disciples into the secret passage and into the secret room. This plan was made in a hurry. It can't be said to be perfect, but it is the most direct and effective method. Without further delay, we will do it right away. Let’s act separately according to plan!”
Wan Xin nodded solemnly, took out the poisonous smoke piled in the secret room, carried it on his back, turned around and left quickly.
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief and cast her clear and firm eyes on the roof of the secret room, as if she had penetrated many obstacles and reached the palace.
Dongfang Ze, you are in the light and I am in the dark. The person who is disappointed today...is destined to be you!
In tonight's battle, the disciples of Shenmen headquarters suffered countless casualties. The originally huge organization of about a thousand people was wiped out by the elite guards brought by Dongfangze. Only a hundred people were still struggling to resist and barely holding on.
Dongfangze stood in the hall, listening to the news coming from his subordinates at any time, and patiently waiting for the moment when this killer organization, which was feared in the world, would be wiped out.
Suddenly, two loud "bang bang" sounds came from behind Dongfang Ze. He was shocked and turned around suddenly, only to see a large piece of thick white smoke filling the hall at a strange speed!
Dongfangze immediately became alert and stepped back, holding his breath and covering his mouth and nose tightly. Immediately, guards quickly surrounded him, protected him, and shouted: "Protect the prince!" Before everyone could take a few steps back, there were two loud noises behind them. This time, they knew what it was without looking back!
The smoke came very quickly, and instantly filled the hall, carrying a strange and strange fragrance, covering everyone's sight. Dongfangze's heart sank, and his thoughts were racing. If the other party's purpose was to release poisonous smoke, the movement would be too loud, and people would have to be on guard. Judging from this appearance, this person should be trying to intimidate and confuse his eyes... He instantly realized that someone was taking advantage of the chaos to rescue the master of Shen Clan!
It's just too late. At this moment, the hall is filled with thick white smoke. You can't see clearly even if you put your fingers in front of your eyes.
! Dongfangze's heart surged with anger, and a golden dart slipped out of his sleeve. He was on full alert and listened carefully to the location of the previous master of the Shen Sect.
"Swish, swish, swish," sounds came from all around at the same time, making him unable to distinguish them for a moment! Just when the sound came out, he used his keen intuition to knock out the golden dart!
"Stare" made a crisp sound, and the golden dart seemed to hit the wall, but missed the target.
I don't know how long it took before the smoke gradually dissipated. When everyone could see clearly again, they couldn't help but be stunned. The original entrances to the surrounding corridors have disappeared, and now there are only four huge stone gates, rising high, like four brand-new passages.
Dongfangze turned around suddenly, and smoke curled up. The leader of the Shen Sect, who should have been lying on the ground, unable to move, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air at this moment.
"Sheng Qin stays, and the others split up to chase after him!" A trace of anger flashed across his handsome face, someone actually kidnapped him right under his nose!
"Yes!" Everyone ducked into the tunnel.
Dongfangze stood there without moving, his sharp eyes looking around the surrounding environment coldly. He sneered in his heart. The four channels that suddenly appeared were just a cover-up used by the other party to disrupt his own vision. Do you think you can deceive him in this way
The leader of the Shen Sect was beaten to pieces by him, and several major acupoints around his body were sealed. He was already a useless person. Even if he was a man with superb martial arts, it was impossible not to leave him behind if he wanted to take him away in a short time. A little trace. But just now he was on high alert and could conclude that no one appeared here.
Looking around carefully with his eyes, something suddenly moved in his heart. He walked quickly to where the master of the Shenmen Sect was and squatted down. The gaps between the wide bluestone floor were sparsely dusty. Compared with the surrounding stone slabs, they were obviously different. They were clearly It was just turned over.
The secret is indeed here!
Dongfang Ze quickly stood up and took a few steps back. With a flick of his ink robe, he slapped a palm on the floor tiles. With a "boom" sound, the bluestone bricks were instantly blown to pieces by the powerful internal force.
In the dark tunnel, a gust of wind rushed up, and it was very cold. Dongfangze jumped down without hesitation, and Sheng Qin jumped down soon after.
The moment they landed, there were several "puff" sounds, and the phosphorus fire used as a torch was lit one by one by the air brought in by them jumping down. This is a corner of the dark passage. The firelight clearly illuminates the front not far away. There are two forked roads on the left and right.
.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood. Dongfang Ze raised his eyebrows lightly and fixed his eyes on the dark floor under his feet. There were a few very dark and light blood drops there that had not yet solidified. Following the direction of the blood drops, the two of them walked forward carefully and slowly, turning several turns in a row. Suddenly, a bright white light shone over them on the right hand side.
The dark iron door is cold and thick, sealing everything inside so that no one can pry.
Dongfang Ze stretched out his hand to hold it against, and with a slight exertion on his palm, he knew something was wrong. This door was made of thousand-year-old black iron, and there was a chill in the dignified texture. It could not be broken through by human power.
He flicked his robe sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Sheng Qin! Find someone quickly to blow this door open for me!"
This is indeed the fastest and most effective method!
Su Li listened clearly to everything outside in the secret room, and frowned slightly. Just then she calculated the right moment, hit the smoke bomb on the hall, and turned the mechanism. Just after dragging the door owner into the secret room with great effort, Dongfang Ze broke through the secret passage. At the entrance, this man is not tempted at all, has extremely accurate judgment, and is indeed extremely smart.
She couldn't help but feel anxious. The sect owner was groggy after falling from above. When she checked, she found that he was seriously injured internally and was at the end of his strength. She never had the chance to ask the most important thing, so she didn't dare to touch him rashly.
He quickly found a magic pill from the medicine bottle and fed it to him. The dying man's breathing finally became calmer, but it was still weak.
Su Li was thinking about how to restore his consciousness when suddenly, his arm was grabbed by him: "Ahem, who are you...?" The door owner's voice was unusually hoarse, and he spoke with great difficulty.
Su Li was overjoyed, and quickly helped him up, saying urgently: "Are you awake? How do you feel? Can you still leave?" This place is too dangerous, and it would be best to leave as soon as possible.
The eyes behind the golden mask suddenly flashed, and their sharpness was completely unlike the eyes of a dying person. The door owner stared at her for a long time, then breathlessly asked, "You...but...the second young lady of the Su family?"
Su Li was slightly startled, then calmed down, nodded and said, "Exactly." Being able to guess her identity so quickly, the leader of the Shen Sect should not be underestimated.
"Ahem," the door owner actually said with a low smile: "I did not misjudge you, but it's a pity..." As he said that, he coughed violently, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his mouth, staining the gray-white robe on his chest. A bright red
.
Su Li suddenly became anxious, fearing that he would die if something went wrong. The most important thing is to ask the question quickly. She was about to speak when she heard a loud "bang" outside the door, and the whole secret room immediately trembled, as if an earthquake had occurred. Su Li suddenly closed her eyes tightly, and her heart suddenly became filled with anger.
Dongfang Ze moved so fast, and now he started to blow up the door! Fortunately, this thousand-year-old black iron is the best in the world. It is very powerful and cannot be exploded even for a while. It's just that he will eventually break through this line of defense, and staying here is not a long-term solution.
Su Li calmed down and said in a low voice: "Su Li has something I want to ask the sect master..."
Before she could finish her words, she was quickly interrupted by the door owner. He coughed a few times and hissed: "No, listen to me first! I don't have much time..."
Su Li had no choice but to swallow back half of what she said.
The sect master slowly raised his left hand, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and tremblingly reached into his arms and took out a token. This token is about the size of the palm of your hand. It is completely black and you can’t tell what kind of material it is made of. The four sides are carved with exquisite patterns, which is very distinctive. The big sunken character in the middle of the token is a dazzling golden color.
Su Li's heart moved, and she had already vaguely guessed what it was.
"Ahem, this, this is Shenmen... The order from the sect master, see the token... If you see the sect master, you, please help me transfer it to... Wanxin!" The sect master is weak and always gasps for words. First half day.
"You trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will keep the token for myself?" Su Li asked with raised eyebrows.
The door owner seemed to smile slightly, coughed a few more times, and said softly: "You don't know how. If you were interested in Shenmen, you would have come... to see me." He had never met her, but he knew her thoughts clearly. .
Su Li sighed in her heart. Before the sect leader died, he was willing to hand over the token to Wan Xin, which meant that Wan Xin would be the next leader of the Shen Sect. She couldn't help but recall that when she mentioned the leader of the Shen Clan earlier, her words showed such a desperate meaning. She thought that there was a lot of entanglement in this, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to understand.
Su Li said no more at the moment, nodded solemnly, and carefully put the token away.
"And... this mask on my face, take it off... to save my heart." His voice became weaker and weaker, and he seemed unable to raise his hand again.
Su Li was startled slightly and took off the shining golden mask on his face.
.
The face of the door owner under the mask was younger than she expected. He looked to be about forty years old, with slender eyebrows and deep eyes, a high nose, his complexion was extremely gray, and his lips were dark purple. His appearance... did not look like that of a Shengguo person, and was quite exotic.
There was another loud "boom", and the second wave of gunpowder attack came! The black iron gate remained motionless, but the walls on both sides of the gate were shaken with several cracks!
The sound was so huge that it made Su Li's heart tremble and his ears buzzed. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and said coldly: "Damn Dongfang Ze!"
There was no hint of fear in her tone, and she seemed not to take a person as powerful as Dongfang Ze seriously. Such a smart and courageous woman is indeed rare in this world!
A strange look flashed across the eyes of the sect master, and he said to himself: "I'm... really curious now, what do you look like." He tried his best, raised his hand, and swung at Su Li's chin!
Su Li squatted beside him, supporting his body with both hands. She didn't expect the door owner to do such a move. In desperation, she just followed her instinct and tilted her head back, and with a "pop" sound, the silver mask He knocked him to the ground with a palm.
She was frightened and angry, and withdrew her hand from holding his body, shouting in a low voice: "What are you doing!"
Without the support, the door owner was unable to hold on and fell directly to the ground. Looking at her face, he was breathing rapidly and seemed to be extremely excited.
Su Li suddenly came to his senses and quickly helped him up. At this time, the sound of a third wave of gunpowder bombardment came from outside the door. Dongfang Ze's offensive was obviously accelerated! Debris began to fall from the wall, and smoke and dust flew into the room.
This door is about to be blown open, there is no time to delay!
Su Li clenched her hands involuntarily, stared into the eyes of the sect master, and whispered quickly: "I just want to ask you, Mingyu Princess Li Su was killed by the swordsman, who was behind the scenes?!"
The door owner's breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes were wide open, staring straight at her face, his eyes were filled with excitement, surprise and joy. He opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't spit out a word. " "Ho ho" sound.
"Hurry up and say it!" Su Li's eyes were red and she was extremely anxious.
As there were several loud noises outside the door, blood could not stop pouring out of the door owner's mouth. The last light in his eyes slowly dimmed, and a little tear appeared in the corner of his eyes.
.
Su Li stared at him blankly, then her hands suddenly loosened, and the sect master immediately collapsed to the ground, losing all breath.
The answer you've spent so much effort searching for is right at your fingertips, only to be gone? ! She is really unwilling!
There was a loud "boom", and the black iron gate was already crumbling!
Su Li's face turned pale, and when she bit her silver teeth, her rationality returned instantly, and she casually put the golden mask on her face. He quickly grabbed a wooden box in the secret compartment and swept all the important things in the sunken door into it.
Through the narrow gap, a vague figure flashed past in the secret room. Dongfangze's eyes suddenly became sharp. He flew up, passed the guard in front of him, and kicked the black iron door.
The door finally fell down with a sound, kicking up a billow of dust that filled the room.
Dongfang Ze rushed to the middle of the secret room, but the picture of a girl in meditation in front of him made him pause and feel momentarily stunned. The woman's calm and peaceful smile in the picture... For some reason, it suddenly made him think of Su Li? This thought passed by like a meteor, and he had no time to care about it at the moment.
He kicked the door owner a few times with his toes, but there was no reaction at all. The empty hidden compartments on the wall showed that all valuables had been taken away.
That figure disappeared in a flash, and he didn't know where the mechanism was activated to hide. Dongfang Ze's eyes were dark, and he slowly looked around. He didn't expect that there was such a scheming person in Shenmen!
Under the wall on the right side of the square table, there was a ray of light. Dongfangze stepped forward to explore it with his hand, and then lifted it up slightly. The wall creaked and slowly closed up.
I'm afraid this is Shenmen's last secret escape!
"Chase!" The words were still echoing in the air. Dongfangze flashed and disappeared at the entrance of the secret passage. All the guards followed and rushed in.
Although the footsteps of the guards landed lightly, the echoes in the secret passage with complex terrain were somewhat chaotic. Dongfangze has profound internal energy and his hearing is far better than ordinary people. After listening carefully, he found that every once in a while, there were subtle sounds of stone doors opening in sequence deep in the secret passage.
The fish that slipped through the net haven't escaped from here yet!
