Chapter 1849

~8 min read 1,429 words

Three days passed in a flash.

Early in the morning, Chen Guanlou and Zhang Daohe left the inn and went straight to the deep mountains.

Wei and Zhou followed as usual, not far or near.

Zhang Daohe was very anxious.

Worried about not being able to smoothly enter the underground palace, and worried about not being able to shake off Wei and Zhou after entering.

Chen Guanlou carefully observed the surrounding environment, didn't look carefully at night when entering the mountain last time, and didn't look carefully when coming out of the underground palace because he was anxious to inquire about the situation.

This time without a burden, observing carefully, it is worthy of being a deep mountain and old forest, cliffs, miasma, snakes, insects, rats, ants, poisonous insects, the environment is harsh and dangerous, indeed not suitable for human habitation.

The palm wind brushed, a colorful poisonous snake fell from the branch, dead and couldn't be more dead.

A highly poisonous spider was directly crushed into sauce and splashed on the ground.

"In such an environment, the construction difficulty of the underground palace doubled. Guess, why was the underground palace built in this deep mountain that year, far away from Yu Jing?"

Chen Guanlou was purely bored, adding a bit of color to the boring journey.

"The underground palace has immortal means. Maybe it was the location set by the immortal."

Chen Guanlou stood on the treetop and looked out, "Guess, will this place be a place for cultivation in that year? In name, it is to build an underground palace for the Emperor, but in reality, it is to build a cultivation field."

Zhang Daohe was stunned, "Is this possible?"

"Immortals are not good people, doing things must have a purpose. There are many poisonous things here, there must be a reason. When you found this place, you carried out large-scale construction around the underground palace, tell me the truth, how many people died along the way?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Zhang Daohe didn't want to say, vaguely, "Died dozens or a hundred people."

Chen Guanlou sneered, "More than that."

Zhang Daohe simply closed his mouth.

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly, pointing forward, "The road you opened that year has now been covered by grass and trees. The traces left that year are probably gone. Zhang brother, do you still remember where we came out?"

"Rough location still remembered."

"That's good! Wei and Zhou are not patient people, if they can't find the entrance and exit, they might do something."

"At worst, fight!" Zhang Daohe had long had enough of the aggrieved anger, only hating that his strength was not enough. Fight, maybe he won't really die.

"Unless it's a last resort, there's no need to fight them." Chen Guanlou was very steady, "Let's go, get to the underground palace earlier, and end this matter earlier."

The two continued to hurry, following the direction and smoothly arrived at the nameless lake in the mountain.

The lake water is deep.

The lake that was drained that year was filled with water again.

Zhang Daohe stood by the lake, having an urge to jump down, he muttered to himself, "I don't know if the passage below is still there?"

Chen Guanlou looked at the lake water, and also uncontrollably produced an urge to jump down. It's like standing on a hundred-story building, wanting to fly down.

Those who jump off the building, sometimes maybe don't want to die so much. But the moment they stand on the high building and look down, the body will produce an urge to fly down, driving them to jump down.

This urge to jump down seems to be a hidden password engraved in the genes, once triggered, the body will make its own choice: jump!

At this moment, Chen Guanlou produced a similar feeling.

He was a bit dazed!

With his concentration, he was bewitched by the lake water.

He hurriedly took a step back, shook his head, and couldn't figure it out.

Took a step forward again, looked at the deep lake water again, and instantly entered the "enlightenment" state!

As if a lifetime had passed, but it was only two or three seconds, he retreated sharply, breathing rapidly, sweating on his forehead, his brain blank.

Zhang Daohe found that he was not right, and hurriedly asked, "Chen brother, what's wrong? What happened?"

Chen Guanlou breathed heavily, and it took a while to catch his breath.

He took a deep breath, looked at the lake water, with a trace of hard-to-detect panic, and said, "I felt surging power, and indescribable cruel slaughter. Corpse mountain and blood sea is no longer a vocabulary, it has been concretized. Zhang brother, entering the underground palace this time, I am afraid the danger is better than the last time."

He rubbed his eyebrows, wanting to throw those pictures out of his head.

Cultivating immortals, cultivating a group of demons!

This underground palace, what kind of imperial mausoleum, is clearly a ten-thousand-person pit, a hundred-thousand-person pit, a million-person pit!

Devil!

Zhang Daohe frowned, "Chen brother, did you see something just now?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head, "I felt countless wronged souls roaring, struggling to break free. Look at this lake, if I tell you that this lake is a magic weapon to suppress wronged souls, do you believe it?"

Zhang Daohe was dumbfounded and couldn't speak. These words broke his cognition.

"Magic weapon? Suppress wronged souls?"

"Have you ever thought about why Jin Fulai wanted to open the underground palace passage from here?"

"His statement is that the underground palace seal is below, entering the underground palace from here ensures everyone's safety. Is there a problem?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head, "I don't understand Feng Shui secrets, I can't be sure. But if you think about it a little bit, if this lake is really a magic weapon to suppress wronged souls, Jin Fulai drained the lake water and opened the underground palace passage, which is releasing wronged souls and connecting with the underground palace. What exactly does he want to do, you can make a bold guess."

Zhang Daohe didn't dare to think deeply, but couldn't help thinking deeply.

"Could it be that he wants to use those wronged souls to do something?"

"Maybe you can guess like this, he has long understood the underground palace, long known what is in the underground palace, and he is rushing for that thing. But his ability is limited, and he cannot obtain it by himself. If he has the help of these wronged souls, guess what will happen?"

Zhang Daohe heard this, and suddenly gritted his teeth, hating it in his heart, "According to you, Jin Fulai has been lying to me from beginning to end. This underground palace was found by him, I said why it was so smooth. It turns out he knew this place long ago. Wait until I catch him, and I will make him look good."

Chen Guanlou advised, "Zhang brother doesn't have to be like this. When we entered the underground palace, we did get opportunities. Otherwise, how could you and I step into the Grandmaster realm so smoothly. Jin Fulai has selfishness, but he did do things."

Zhang Daohe sneered, he couldn't listen to advice. His mind was full of how to catch Jin Fulai, and how to torture him after catching him.

Chen Guanlou looked at the lake surface and said, "The lake suppresses wronged souls, and the underground palace has seals. Make a bold guess, wronged souls cannot enter the underground palace. Jin Fulai tried every means to break the seal, and the wronged souls were able to enter the underground palace. But how did he control this terrifying wronged soul power and go to the place he wanted to go according to his ideas? This Jin Fulai, amazing, is indeed a master of Feng Shui secrets. Such talent, I don't know which sect?"

The Ministry of Justice's file has records, Jin Fulai has been involved in many major cases, but he has never been caught. No one even knows what he looks like, and naturally there is no record of his sect origin.

He looked at Zhang Daohe and asked with his eyes.

Zhang Daohe shook his head, "According to him, his skills were passed down by his ancestors. This statement, I think it is 50% true and 50% false."

"You haven't investigated him?"

"Investigated, confirmed the Jianghu rumors, this person is indeed very powerful. At the beginning, I was eager for success, and this was enough."
