Chapter 133: Underground Palace
Xiaobai's eyes quickly looked at the green-robed men. They ignored the sounds of the copper bells and none of them came to see them.
Facing the edge of the ropes, Xu Gongzhu squatted down, walked around the stone statue, and moved to a door. Just as he was about to open the door, suddenly there was a movement in the room. Old Xu turned over and hid in the dark behind the stone statue.
As soon as the door opened, a man helped an old man and walked out.
The old man's hair turned white and he was staggering.
"Master, don't worry, this place will be interrogated as soon as possible. The fourth senior brother sent back the news. King Ning was very dissatisfied with the process of the demon hunting department. There were a lot of people in the southern border. We sent forty people, but it seemed that we could not solve any problem."
The old man coughed a few times, panting violently, his voice seemed to be a big drum that broke the hole, and it sounded very harsh.
"Zhixiong is already arrogant, so what Ning Wang said naturally makes him feel uncomfortable. I have seen the news that Ning Wang won this battle beautifully.
With such a record, the saint would be more indulgent. Besides, Shixiong did not help. The previous investigation asked him to stop and send him a team and try his best to cooperate.
As for His Highness Ning, he has been in Zhennan Army for more years, so it is easy to meet him, so he will not have any bad thoughts. The incident in that year was not so easy to forget. Yang Guifei's death was a hurdle that he could not overcome. Although this matter was related to He Zhenren, we were not so clean."
The young man nodded, said respectfully, and helped the old man walk outside.
"In addition, the guards here are tighter, so as not to worry about the magical instruments below."
"Master, don't worry, the guards here are so strict that there are no blind people coming in. Even the Maoshan Sect is just monitoring and does not dare to come in. Besides, our people are all here on the upper floor, and there are divine beasts guarding them below. Wouldn't you be seeking death when you go in?"
The old man nodded and sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"I'm old, I'm old, and the pi beasts are old, so you can take good care of them."
As they said that, the two had already left the first floor of the underground palace, and the interrogators also bowed to the direction the old man left. When they saw that the person had left, they continued to start the matter at hand.
Lao Xu closed his eyes, as if he was feeling whether someone had left.
Xiaobai looked up and down at him. The old man was Xu Gongzhu's master. I guess he would feel a lot of emotion when he saw him again. How deep can a master who let him die?
After waiting for a while, Old Xu opened his eyes, as if a gust of wind, he crawled into the crack of the door that was not closed.
As soon as I came in, Xiaobai shivered. It was very hot here, and the temperature was not a little higher than that outside. It seemed that there was magma below.
Old Xu put Xiaobai down and pointed at the door.
Xiaobai understood that she was asking her to guard and nodded to Lao Xu.
Xiaobai blew a breath outside, which seemed to have no effect, but a cat moan soon came from outside.
Then Lao Xu turned around and walked towards the steps below. He walked to the next floor. There was a door facing him. The relief portrait of the Pi Beast on it was very terrifying.
Just standing here, you can feel the anger of the pi beast inside, and the temperature around you is even hotter.
Lao Xu knelt on one knee, and under his feet was a hollow ball embedded in the ground. It seemed to float on the ground, with various patterns on it, and every ups and downs seemed to have a regularity.
"I'm disturbing. I didn't want to offend the majesty of the God Lord, nor did I want to stir up the national fortune and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. I just took back the things I had posted here."
There was no movement inside the stone gate. Lao Xu took out the bottle, opened the bottle plug, dipped his fingers in the blood inside, and began to write something on the pattern of the hollow sphere.
As the blood was controlled, the hollow ball became restless and its rotation speed continued to accelerate, and the entire ball was suspended.
As the last stroke ended, the hollow ball became bright red and dazzling.
At the same time, the stone door slowly opened, and there was a red light inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Old Xu took a deep breath, stuffed Xiao Hei into his cuffs, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, the stone door closed with a slam, and a huge figure rushed towards Lao Xu, opening his bloody mouth, as if he was about to swallow Xu Gongzhu in the next second.
Lao Xu did not hide or close his eyes, and just looked at the figure in front of it.
This Pi Beast seems not to be a physical body, but a soul that seems to have a solid form. An iron chain is tied to its ankle, and the iron chain continues to shake as it moves.
A red light spurted out and hit Xu Gongzhu's abdomen. Although he was ready, he was thrown horizontally and hit the stone wall. Then he fell to the ground and swallowed the blood in his mouth.
Old Xu walked back stubbornly, still staring at the Pi Beast.
This made the Pi Beast very surprised. He did not take any action. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and asked in a muffled voice:
"Who are you?"
"The Lord of Pi Beasts once saw me, but when I was very young, I didn't want to offend the Lord of God, but just wanted to get something."
The Pi Beast tilted her head and looked at Xu Gongzhu, as if she was trying to identify it. Then she leaned closer to her nose and sniffed it, tilted her head and laughed.
"Hahaha, it's true, it's true, I said back then, but Zhang just doesn't believe it. He can't control you, so he should kill you early."
Lao Xu was a little surprised.
The little boy Zhang mentioned in Pi Beast was obviously talking about his master Zhang Tian. Could it be that he was not welcomed since childhood? Is it because of Pi Beast's prophecy?
"Why did you kill me?"
The Pi Beast stepped back a little and shook her big head.
"You no longer have the mark of Boy Zhang on you. It seems that you have either been severely damaged or have found a more powerful person to remove these marks. Since you have left, there is no need to look at it carefully. Let me tell you what you are going to take?"
"Underground."
The Pi Beast seemed not surprised at all, and looked at her side. There was indeed an umbrella on the stone platform behind the Pi Beast.
"want to?"
“Yes, want it.”
"Then let me answer a question. Will you harm the other side if you get this thing?"
Lao Xu thought about it seriously and shook his head and looked at the Pi Beast.
"No, but I thought the God Lord would ask you if you would have the fate of the Tang Dynasty and if you would have treason?"
The Pi Beast smiled.
"Let's go, if you are a scoundrel, I won't let you grow up."
With the last word exit, the umbrella flew directly into Lao Xu's arms and fell in front of the stone gate.
Old Xu calmed down and knelt on one knee to salute.
"Thank you for your accomplishment, and say goodbye!"
Then he turned around and opened the door. At this moment, Xiao Hei exposed his head from his cuff, opened his mouth and sucked hard at the back of the Pi Beast. Many things around the table behind him disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As the stone gate closed, Xiao Hei burped and fell out, and a roar came from the stone gate.
"A evil beast, if you are greedy, you will be backfired!"
Xiao Hei shivered, and Lao Xu quickly picked up Xiao Hei. He didn't see what Xiao Hei had taken clearly, but with the character of this mandrill, he probably left all the shiny things.
Lao Xu did not dare to delay, so he carried the umbrella on his body, pinched Xiao Hei's tail, threw it on his shoulder, and jumped back to the first floor of the underground palace. Xiaobai looked out through the crack of the door with a cautious look on his face, and quickly turned around when he heard the sound.
"It's done?"
Lao Xu nodded and picked up Xiaobai.
“How is it outside?”
"There was a lot of noise below just now. With a roar of a pi beast, these people seemed to be a little scared. Besides, I attracted many animals and monsters. These people were facing a great enemy and had already gone out to guard them."
Lao Xu didn't say anything, let alone explain. He jumped upwards along the rope and bell, and flew out of the hole in the roof.
After observing for a while, he then jumped to the north and disappeared into the night.
The entire demon hunting department was in chaos.
After all, I have never encountered so many monsters, wild cats and dogs, and they are sieging here. For a moment, these monster catchers are extremely busy, but as soon as they gathered at the wall, the monsters and other things have long dispersed.
A young figure fell above the hall of the underground palace and roared angrily at the surroundings:
"Each person is in his position and his duties."
With this roar, everyone returned to the hall one after another. The man snatched a spear into the air, and silver light flashed. I don’t know what he touched, but with a bang, the surroundings became quiet.
