The Luo family is the first family in Wulin Province. Although it is not as brilliant as it was when it was originally founded, it is still grand and glorious, and it commands the whole province.
Unexpectedly, this matter was related to the Luo family. Xu Chong was of course extremely surprised and was afraid. After all, his family could only rank third in Wulin Province and had no strength to confront each other. If the Luo family found out that it was himself making fun of it, then the whole family would never choose to declare war to protect themselves, but would draw a clear line with him and deal with it as an abandoned child.
Xia Xiaoyuan could hear the fear in Xu Chong's voice. Unexpectedly, this kid always regarded himself as a knight and Adventure King, who was in a position of upholding justice, and when he was afraid, he smiled and said, "Let's go, Adventure King, look at you so scared, aren't you ready for sacrifice at any time?"
"I don't care, but what should I do if I have to do with the family is your fault." Xu Chong said with some dissatisfaction.
Xia Xiaoyuan glanced at Xu Chong with cold eyes and said confidently: "If this matter really cannot be separated from the Luo family, then they will definitely not last long. What are you afraid of? I will help you with everything, let alone Yu Jia is not a fuel-saving lamp!"
"Yujia? Could she be the one among the top 30 members of the royal family in the imperial city in the top thirty of the Weapon Ranking?" Xu Chong sighed in a surprised tone.
Xia Xiaoyuan did not respond, but just had a strange smile.
"Let's go, I'll take the lead and see what tricks the Luo family is playing. They actually spend a lot of effort to build the underground palace here!" Xu Chong suddenly had the confidence, put aside his concerns just now and said with great enthusiasm.
Xia Xiaoyuan looked at Xu Chong who was raising his chest and raising his head, and shook his head slightly. Once this kid had the support of the imperial city power, he immediately seemed to have become a different person.
This is based on the advantages and disadvantages of the family, which is full of cohesion, but it makes people afraid. If it is like the martial arts sect, it may not be a bad thing, at least it will not be afraid in the heart.
It’s a pity that like the martial arts sect, there are many flaws, otherwise they would not have disappeared suddenly. I still don’t know that there is no such existence.
After entering from the entrance of the tunnel, the entire underground palace will soon appear in front of you.
Xia Xiaoyuan looked at everything in front of him and frowned. This underground palace was not complicated and did not seem to be built into a maze. Instead, it made people feel a little simple, like a warehouse for storing things, but there was no valuable thing.
"Brother, I think this place is like an auxiliary palace, used to confuse people. Otherwise, if so much manpower and material resources would be spent to build this ghost, that would be a real ghost." Xu Chong looked around and mocked.
Xia Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "The analysis makes sense. The three people were not here just now, which means there is indeed another exit in this place."
"There must be an open mechanism around us, let's look for it." Xu Chong began to check the things around him and spoke.
Xu Chong has rich experience in taking risks in the mechanism, and soon found a strange place torch. Through rotating and twisting, he immediately found that the secret door next to him slowly opened, and strange lights flowed quickly, and you can see the extraordinary inside.
Looking at Xu Chong's smug smile, Xia Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Let's go, the answer should be here."
"Cruff, boom!"
When Xu Chong had just stepped into the secret door passage, the secret door suddenly closed.
Xia Xiaoyuan sprinted violently and rushed in before the secret door closed.
Xu Chong suddenly felt something was wrong. He searched around him but did not find any activation mechanism. He thought that he was blocked here, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Stop looking for it, let's go, this place may not be a dead end!" Xia Xiaoyuan comforted.
Xu Chong had to nod, his expression was still gloomy, and he seemed cautious, observing the surrounding environment, afraid that he would accidentally step on something and kill the mechanism.
Xia Xiaoyuan's behavior was much normal, and even his expression was almost the same as usual. His eyes were like torches, scanning every corner around him without letting go of any blind spots.
It can be seen that the existence here has a certain history, but it seems that it has been artificially destroyed and cannot see its real purpose. For example, the platform ahead has a certain difference from the color of a few floor tiles exposed below, and the degree of new and old is also obvious. It must have been deliberately covered, and it does not want to be seen through.
What exactly are these covering up? Is it related to Hong Zhongtian?
At the corner, there was another gray pattern covering the torch. Although it was very shallow, Xia Xiaoyuan clearly saw it through the relationship of concentrating his eyes.
"squeak!"
A slight sound came.
"Brother, something is wrong!" Xu Chong's words came.
Xia Xiaoyuan put his index finger beside his mouth and whispered: "Shh, don't talk!"
Xu Chong nodded and looked at Xia Xiaoyuan's attention. He saw a tiny fluffy mouse hanging on the top of the ceiling. It had become one with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to notice. If it weren't for its shaking fluffy tail, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"If there is a living thing, it proves that there must be an exit around you. It seems that the eldest brother is right. This is not a dead end!" Xu Chong couldn't help but smile.
This kind of velvet rat has a short lifespan and cannot be closed here all the time, which means there must be other channels here.
Xia Xiaoyuan smiled and spoke to Xu Chong: "If I was not wrong, this must be the former site of the Wulin Sect!"
"Hey, what's the purpose of the Luo family building the underground palace here? Is there any secret that needs to be hidden? No, if this is true, how could an underground casino be created? Didn't this intentionally expose it?" Xu Chong said inexplicably.
Xia Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "Actually, you're thinking too much, the truth is very simple."
"Brother, you know, talk, talk!" Xu Chong asked urgently.
"Here, this is the answer to the mystery." Xia Xiaoyuan pointed with his hand and said with a bright smile.
Following the direction of Xia Xiaoyuan's finger, Xu Chong's expression changed from novelty to solemn, and he murmured: "This is...it won't be true!"
"What's true or false, what are you thinking?" Xia Xiaoyuan frowned.
Xu Chong stumbled forward, walked until he reached the statue before stopping, and said, "Oh Hong Zhongtian, he won't turn into a stone statue, otherwise why would he suddenly disappear?"
"A person turns into a stone? You guy can't be possessed by evil spirits." Xia Xiaoyuan frowned.
Xu Chong shook his head and said, "No, brother, you don't know, Hong Zhongtian is a legendary figure. You see, how young he is, he is from an ordinary background, but has extremely strong strength and appeal in just a few years. When his power reaches its peak, it suddenly disappears. Will he not be a human, but a god? This stone statue is the incarnation he left behind."
"You've heard a lot of folk legends. You've said that Hong Zhongtian is an extraordinary person, which means he is really stuck in any situation and left his family directly and traveling alone. Isn't this stone statue a monument left by future generations?" Xia Xiaoyuan said in a statement.
Xu Chong nodded thoughtfully, then said, "There is a little bit of a reason, brother, how did you infer it? And what is the connection between this stone statue and my question just now."
Xia Xiaoyuan did not speak, but looked at Hong Zhongtian's stone statue with his eyes.
Although Xia Xiaoyuan had never seen Hong Zhongtian with his own eyes, he had repeatedly heard of his legendary deeds and his wind attribute energy element inheritance and bronze wind chimes. He also found that there was a mark, or a symbol, on the bronze wind chimes.
This kind of symbol appears in this tunnel more than once, and the era of Hong Zhongtian is related to the martial arts sect, so Xia Xiaoyuan made such a reason.
Besides, it is said that the cultivation methods of the martial arts sect are completely different from those of the family. They are not about practicing weapons, but about imitating the advanced methods of ferocious beasts, focusing on strengthening the body!
This special way of cultivation is really like a ferocious beast swallowing crystal cores, which can directly impart skills and obtain quick success methods. Hong Zhongtian might have been like this at that time, quickly improving his strength through adventures, so as to scatter the wind and swept the rest of the clouds across the martial arts world.
Xia Xiaoyuan has studied the bronze wind chime carefully but found no special features. The wind-attribute energy element does have the same effect as the ferocious beast crystal core, which makes people think of it.
Especially when Hong Zhongtian disappeared at his peak, he left behind the wind-attribute energy element and bronze wind chime. Does this mean that he has a new opportunity or a new goal, so he made such a choice!
Of course, all this is speculation, and it is just inferences made by oneself based on these clues. Unless it is actually verified, it is still fictional.
"Brother, brother, don't be stunned, speak!" Xu Chong asked, shaking his palm in front of Xia Xiaoyuan.
After being interrupted by Xu Chong's urging, Xia Xiaoyuan sighed and said, "Actually, I have given enough hints. Why are you so stupid? What if I say that the Luo family is going to take the retro route and intend to turn the family into a martial arts sect again?"
"Ah!" Xu Chong exclaimed, obviously shocked by Xia Xiaoyuan's words.
Xia Xiaoyuan further explained: "Why did the Luo family make money and recruit soldiers at the same time? Why are there nothing in these authentic things and cover up traces? These are all very obvious!"
"This, this..." Xu Chong was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
Xia Xiaoyuan waved his hand and said, "What this is? It's a reform. They should have the confidence to reform its shortcomings, otherwise they wouldn't rashly go back. Let's go out, this is over in advance!"
