Chapter 1848

~7 min read 1,383 words

The town closest to the underground palace, Pingjing Town, after several years, Chen Guanlou stepped into this place again, everything is the same.

The town seems to be sealed by time, every grass, every tree, every brick, every tile, has no changes. Only the people here, the children have grown up, the adults have aged.

Staying in the inn, the waiter from that year is still there, but obviously aged.

This time he didn't disguise, showing his original appearance, the other party didn't recognize him.

"Waiter, two upper rooms!"

"Okay!"

The two settled down in the inn, washed up, and went downstairs to eat.

After dinner, night fell.

Zhang Daohe went out for a trip and didn't come back until midnight.

He told Chen Guanlou, "We will enter the mountain in two days."

"Contacted, what's the situation? Any news about Jin Fulai's whereabouts?"

Zhang Daohe hesitated for a moment, then said, "My people searched all the surrounding mountains and forests, asking village by village, and someone did see a strange face coming from the deep mountains. Whether it is Jin Fulai is not certain. However, it is certain that someone lives in the deep mountains.

In order to open the underground palace that year, with the underground palace as the center, all mountain people within a radius of ten or twenty miles were driven out by my sect, and the compensation silver was enough for them to live outside the mountain. Reasonably speaking, there should be no one in the deep mountains."

"If someone has lived in the deep mountains all these years, it is very likely to be Jin Fulai, right?"

"There is this possibility." Zhang Daohe looked slightly excited, "Jin Fulai is ghostly, that year I offered heavy gifts to invite him out of the mountain, which was considered sincere. As a result, he really hid a hand and kept selfishness. Chen brother, can we be considered to have been played by him?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, "Who has no selfishness? You and I both have selfishness, everyone has selfishness. He eats by his ability, just because he didn't hand over the opportunity he got to you, you are unhappy. Sect Leader Zhang, be broad-minded. There are so many opportunities in the world, do you want to occupy all the opportunities alone, it is too greedy."

"I didn't want to occupy all the opportunities, I just resent Jin Fulai's actions. I invited him out of the mountain and gave him generous rewards. Reasonably speaking, if he gained something in the underground palace, he should at least tell me. I wouldn't rob him."

Zhang Daohe tried hard to argue.

Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes directly, "Sect Leader Zhang, ask yourself, do you believe this yourself? Are you sure you wouldn't rob his opportunity? Hmph! No matter how beautiful the words are, in the end, it depends on strength.

Jin Fulai is not as good as you, you robbed him, and he can't do anything. He can only eat coptis with a dumb mouth, and have bitterness that cannot be spoken. It is better to hide from the beginning. His choice is not wrong in my opinion, it is all for self-protection."

"Chen brother, how can you speak for others. We are brothers in the same pit." Zhang Daohe felt unhappy in his heart. How could Chen brother's butt be crooked, and it was quite crooked.

Chen Guanlou sneered, "I speak for him, you should be even happier. A person like me won't use dirty tricks behind his back to harm people. Even if I want to harm you, it is upright. I am the most fair in doing things, don't look for trouble. If it really doesn't work, let's fight."

Zhang Daohe shook his head repeatedly to refuse, his attitude was very firm, "Don't fight, don't fight, fighting will only benefit Wei and Zhou. Chen brother, rest assured, I trust you very much and have never doubted your integrity. Just now I was anxious, I hope Chen brother will forgive me."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled, then said solemnly, "Wait until you find Jin Fulai, don't shout and kill him. Try to speak well, and strive to dig out some truth from his mouth. Opportunity, opportunity, people are also opportunities. Maybe Jin Fulai is your second opportunity."

Zhang Daohe was noncommittal.

He still had dissatisfaction with Jin Fulai in his heart.

Wait until you find the person, and then see the situation.

He was more worried about Wei and Zhou, hoping Jin Fulai would hide well and not be found by Wei and Zhou first.

"Chen brother, have you ever thought about where to enter the underground palace?"

"Where to come out, where to enter, does Zhang brother know a second passage?"

The underground palace passage opened by Jin Fulai that year had long been sunk under the water, and I don't know if it is still there. But the passage they came out of that year, hidden between the cliffs, is more reliable.

"I think so too, where to come out, where to enter. It's just that I don't know if we can return to the stone room where you and I realized the Dao."

Chen Guanlou didn't make a sound.

This underground palace has the blessing of immortal means, and the internal structure is unpredictable and full of crises.

The two rested in Pingjing Town, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, not in a hurry to enter the mountain. Still waiting for news from the Bai Lian Sect.

They are not in a hurry, Wei and Zhou are anxious.

Especially Zhou Mobai, seeing that it is only the last hundred miles of mountain road from the underground palace, why not hurry to enter the mountain, why stay in the town?

He took advantage of Wei Wubing's absence, ran to the inn, and went straight to the two of them.

Zhang Daohe was like facing a great enemy.

Chen Guanlou looked indifferent, two against one, the advantage is with me, afraid of a fart.

He smiled and asked the other party, "Why is Senior Zhou here? Senior Zhou, drink tea!"

Zhou Mobai looked unkind, "Boy, when exactly are you entering the mountain? Are you playing with us?"

"Senior, where does this come from? Entering the mountain is possible at any time. However, after entering the mountain, how to enter the underground palace to find someone, there must be a plan. Don't look at the two of us eating, drinking, and having fun these days, looking quite leisurely, but we haven't been idle for a moment, always thinking of ways."

"Thought of it?"

"Not yet! Is Senior Zhou anxious?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other party with a smile.

Zhou Mobai was furious, "Chen, you are the most dishonest. That underground palace, why can't we just go directly, punch down, I don't believe we can't punch out a result."

"Senior Zhou is really powerful. That year Zhang brother shouldn't have spent heavy money to invite Jin Fulai, just invite Senior Zhou out of the mountain, punch and punch through the underground palace, we just follow behind and pick up ready-made ones."

Chen Guanlou opened his mouth, which was yin and yang.

Zhang Daohe held back his laughter, for fear of stimulating the surnamed Zhou.

"Are you mocking the old man?" Zhou Mobai stared, looking extremely fierce.

Chen Guanlou tensed his whole body, still smiling on the surface, "Senior misunderstood, how dare I mock you. I am reminding Senior that the underground palace was built by the imperial family of the previous dynasty, and there are many immortal means in it. We mortals, facing immortal means, being cautious is always not wrong. Senior's cultivation is profound, not afraid of immortal means. But we are low in cultivation, and don't want to die, so we have to think more."

"Hmph! You'd better think of a foolproof plan as soon as possible. Three days at most! If you don't enter the mountain in three days, I will twist your heads off and kick them as balls!" Zhou Mobai threatened.

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly, "Senior, rest assured, three days is enough. I will discuss with Zhang brother to ensure that we can smoothly enter the underground palace and find Jin Fulai."

"That's very good!"
