Cultivation starts with time management

But if there is no sound in the room for a long time, there is no guarantee that the two people will not come in to check.

"A Jing, let's do some illusion!" Long Long ordered.

The Kunlun mirror responded, and gave simple spiritual hints to the Qilin monks outside, telling them not to come in and check the room.

"Let's go down." After taking the last precautionary measures, Long Long ordered, "I'll go down first, and you follow me."

"Hmm." Longhu said eagerly.

Long Long leaned down, the wooden ladder was a bit old, but there was no sign of decay, the dust on it was very thick, no one should have walked through this tunnel for a long time.

As Longhu said, the ventilation below here is very good, obviously it is not a dead end, but a connection to another place.

Dragging the carpet above to cover the hole, the two continued to descend, and reached the ground about five or six feet away.

The tunnel here is very low, only two people can pass through with their waists down, and the deeper it goes, the darker it becomes.

Long Long, who has the blood of the scale clan, made him not afraid of the dark and humid environment, but the little fox was a little scared, so he could only hug Long Long from behind and walk forward cautiously.

Long Long frowned slightly.

This front armor is really in the way!

Chapter 72 Exploration and Jealousy

The length of the tunnel far exceeded the expectations of the two of them.

After reaching the end, the two pushed open a secret door and came to a certain dark room.

There is nothing else in the dark room, only a wooden table fixed on the ground.

There is a piece of papyrus on the stone table, which has been nailed to the table with a dagger.

Long Long took out the Dragon Yin Sword, and the light from the sword illuminated the old paper, and he saw very vague handwriting on it, most of which were almost unreadable:

"...Nanzhou is not peaceful. There was another rebellion yesterday. Zhu Niao even joined forces with 31 families of the Zhuyu clan. They violently unified the interior, and there is a fear of subsequent military provocations. The Mao clan actively built mountain fortresses, and they frequently infiltrated the big city of Heyuan. Beizhou Xuanwu and Qilin have a very close past, although there is no difference, we must guard against..."

Judging from the limited text, it should be the manuscript of some kind of intelligence personnel, but it is impossible to read the full text now.

Longhu tried to lift the manuscript, but as soon as he touched it, the papyrus quickly shattered into pieces and could no longer be repaired.

"I'm sorry." She whispered quickly, not knowing who she was apologizing to.

Holding the illuminated Dragon Chanting Sword, Long Long carefully inspected the surroundings again.

The scan results showed that there were three secret doors around, all leading to unknown places.

Long Long redrawn the route he had traveled so far in his mind, and was surprised to find that the tunnel network was like a skeleton, and it was likely to completely cover the entire bottom floor of the Shenlong Pagoda.

Who built this tunnel?Why did no one notice for so long?

Keeping these questions at the bottom of his heart, Long Long continued to lead Long Hu to explore the surrounding secret doors and tunnels.

The corridor behind the hidden door on the left leads to an unknown room.Long Long and Long Hu hid behind the partition and listened quietly. There were sounds of chopping knives and a burning fire outside, which seemed to be a kitchen.

Then, the conversation of the chefs rang out:

"The fruit was not fresh enough last time. The supervisor scolded me. How do you purchase the fruit?"

"Who stole the wine I put in the cupboard?"

"I told you not to use my kitchen knife!"

Although it is behind the partition, the voices of the chefs are very clear, as if they are talking right next to their ears.

Long Long immediately realized that this tunnel was specially built for eavesdropping!

There was no useful news in the kitchen, so the two went back the same way again and chose another secret door to step into.

When you reach the secret door at the end, you can hear the sound of gurgling water.

Long Long listened carefully, and then heard the soft laughter of the women - behind this is a public bath!Someone is taking a bath in it!

Subconsciously, he approached it, only to find that there were actually a large number of small holes in the secret door.

Peering outside through the small hole, you can see that the secret door is located above a certain wall of the public bath, close to the height of the ceiling, and you can clearly see the horned monsters bathing in the pool.

Not to mention anything else, the females of the Horn tribe are generally plump, unlike the slender and slender of the Scale tribe, and the well-proportioned and powerful of the Mao tribe, they have a unique charm of flesh...

Before he could continue to see clearly, the fox bit his shoulders and his waist was entangled by the tail, and he was dragged back into the secret passage behind him.

Long Long: ...

"What were you looking at just now?" Longhu bit his neck angrily, "Wretched! Shameless! Obscene!"

Long Long silently emerged the scales to block the little fox's bite attack, and said calmly:

"Fox, don't talk nonsense, I'm just confirming which room that passage leads to."

"Isn't that the bathing pool? You can tell by the sound. You clearly want to see it when you get close! Look at those..." Longhu held back for a long time before uttering a word, "Look at those shameless bodies!"

Long Long was speechless, and after a while he said affectionately:

"Fox, I'm not interested in them at all. They're not as good-looking as you."

Longhu is still relentless. After all, if he is too easily persuaded, he will be considered "very easy to deceive" by men. Longhu has a keen instinct in this regard, so he continues to be jealous:

"Nonsense! You have been looking at them all the time, and you can't take your eyes off at all!"

On Longlong's side, he couldn't argue with anything, and was almost cornered.

But who is he?Having dealt with Junior Sister Xu, Senior Sister An, Miss Shi and Witch Jiang, she has already had rich social experience, and quickly realized that Longhu didn't want to listen to explanations at all, but just wanted to raise the status between the sexes by making trouble for no reason—— To put it bluntly, I just wanted candy, so I cried.

So he hugged Longhu, kissed and patted his head fiercely again, and as expected, Longhu limp in his arms, faltering and saying:

"In short...you are not allowed to look at other women!"

Long Long naturally said yes again and again, but his mind suddenly went to the sky:

This little fox has such a strong desire for monopoly, if he finds out about the existence of other people in the future, what kind of reaction will he have?

Oh, it's nothing more than baring your teeth and growling, don't panic.

What's more, why should I, Long Long, be responsible for what Qiu Changtian and the others did?

Thinking of this, Long Long immediately felt at ease.

Continue to coax Longhu patiently, and the two continue to explore the tunnel.

The Shenlong Pagoda is [-] feet high, and the area of ​​the ground floor is also astonishingly large.This network of tunnels was also unfathomable, as if it spread throughout the entire Shenlong Pagoda. When the two reached the end of the tunnel, they saw another upward vertical passage and wooden ladder.

After climbing several feet up the wooden ladder, he came to a relatively spacious secret room again.

There are many instruments of torture in the secret room, as well as shackles fixed on the wall.

Although there were no dead bodies or bones, there were blackened blood stains everywhere, which still hinted at what happened here.

Longhu was a little uneasy about the surrounding environment, and urged Longlong to leave quickly.

Long Long checked and scanned it carefully, and after confirming that there were no hidden treasures here, he took Longhu out of the torture room and arrived at a dungeon.

It was even more spacious here, with cells made up of iron fences on both sides, and rune circles engraved on the walls to suppress spiritual power and consciousness.

Long Long became interested in these rune formations - ancient formations that he had never seen before!Great research value!

Although Longhu was still a little anxious, he also saw that these magic circle runes were very important to Longlong, so he waited quietly by the side.

After a while, Long Long finally detected and scanned all the magic circle runes on the wall.

The formation on the wall, as always, inherited the characteristics of the ancient formation. It seems to be small in size, but in fact it is highly integrated, and the complexity inside is astonishingly large.

And after analyzing Longlong's formation, it was found that this formation has a strong effect of sealing spirits, and many designs are specifically aimed at the physical body of the dragon.

So this is a prison dedicated to imprisoning dragons?

For some reason, Long Long suddenly remembered the huge ghost dragon he saw in the depths of the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave in the East China Sea.

Chapter 73 At the end of the secret passage, between the walls

In the next few days, Long Long and Long Hu were carefully exploring the secret passage.

The Dragon Clan still didn't send anyone to visit, or they might have sent people over, but they were blocked by the Qilin Clan.

In the past, the two of them might have become anxious, but after discovering the secret passage, they feel that this kind of undisturbed confinement life is not bad—at least there is no need to worry about someone breaking in suddenly, only to find that the two of them are no longer there in the room.

According to the exploration of the past few days, the secret passage is obviously a huge and complex network structure, like a hidden and unknown parasite, lurking in every dark corner of the Shenlong Tower, intertwined, quietly watching.

Moreover, judging from the structure of these secret passages communicating with the outside world, it is obvious that they are specially designed for eavesdropping.

It is conceivable that if there is an intelligence team of more than 30 people stationed in this secret channel network, then everything that happens in the entire Shenlong Tower will be exposed in front of their eyes.

In the era of Emperor Yinglong, the Dragon Pagoda was the residence, office and meeting place of the great nobles and the Senate, so Long Long guessed that there was a high probability that Emperor Yinglong built it without telling other demon clans, the purpose was to better collect information .

Now the era of Jiaolong has passed, and the court cabinet of Emperor Qilin has moved into the Shenlong Tower, but this secret passage has been sealed up with the departure of the Jiaolong clan, so that there is no trace of human activities at all.

"No, someone has been here before." Kunlun Mirror said suddenly, "Although the dust along the road has been cleaned and disguised, it still cannot be hidden from my scan - the last time the other party came was four to seven days ago."

"Really?" Long Long said cautiously, "A Jing, for the next exploration, you remember to keep scanning the surrounding movement at all times. If you notice someone passing by the distant passage, remember to notify me immediately."

"Understood." Kunlun Mirror answered seriously.

After all, although the Qilin clan will guarantee the safety of Longlong, Longhu and Longhu, the identity of the strange visitor in the secret passage and his attitude towards the Canglong clan are completely unknown and huge risks.

He and Longhu continued to climb up the secret passage, calculated the height secretly, and Long Long realized that he was in the middle of the Shenlong Tower.

This floor has the largest library in the entire Eastern Imperial Realm, called "Longyuan Pavilion". It was originally the place where the Jiaolong clan collected books. There are included.

Monster monks from all over the Eastern Emperor's Realm, who are interested in delving into heresy, will come to the Longyuan Pavilion of the Dragon Pagoda to study.If one can graduate from it, it is enough to serve as guest minister in any Yaozu.

In addition, more than [-]% of the cultivation resources such as magic tools and elixir in the Eastern Emperor's Realm are produced by Yaozu bachelors who graduated from Longyuan Pavilion, so this place can be regarded as the "Penglai Yuqing Temple" of the Yaozu, with an academic atmosphere. very thick.

Probably because there are people in Longyuan Pavilion all the year round, the secret passage here is not only narrow and hidden, but also close to the load-bearing columns in the hall, and there are no designed peepholes or sound-permeable panels around.

Long Long had to lean his ears against the wall to vaguely hear the conversation outside:

"We need to hurry up on the blood test project. The higher-ups have asked about it several times. The deadline is at the end of this month."

"You don't want the funding of the project team to be eliminated, do you? The dean said that one of the team with the slowest progress will be fired this month. Prepare yourself mentally."

Hearing that, Long Long really felt sorry for him. This is the last elimination system for academics. Has the evil capitalism penetrated into the Eastern Emperor's Realm?

"Long Long." Long Hu whispered beside him, "Why did you want to be fired?"

"This..." Long Long thought for a moment, then explained to Longhu.

Although Longyuan Pavilion is a neutral academic institution in name, since it is located in the imperial capital, it must be controlled and influenced by the Qilin clan.

In fact, it is said that more than [-]% of the funds for Longyuan Pavilion are provided by the Qilin family.

Correspondingly, if the Qilin family has any development needs, Wenyuan Pavilion must also take over and complete it as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect the subsequent funds.

Deliberately eliminating a member with the worst performance is to let everyone compete spontaneously and work overtime for research.

Longhu smacked his tongue when he heard it.In her opinion, monks are the foundation of everything. Isn't it an act of sacrificing the basics and chasing the last to eliminate the monks for some project?

Long Long didn't intend to explain to her what consumables were. The little fox hadn't reached the time to learn the emperor's mind.

The two continued to climb the ladder until they entered the upper range of the Dragon Tower.

The air here is obviously fresher than the middle and bottom, and the vents of the tunnel network are obviously nearby.

The dragon and fox scrambled along the direction of the air flow, and sure enough, at the end of a certain passage, they found the so-called ventilation duct and the side hole opened on the outer wall of the Shenlong Pagoda.

Due to the ban on flying in the whole area of ​​the imperial capital, this hole cannot be overlooked from above, and there are just a few protruding eaves to block it from below. It can be said that the design is extremely delicate.

The opening of the hole is in the shape of a trumpet, and the wind speed at this height is extremely fast, so a lot of fresh air is poured in from the opening of the horn every moment.

What's even more amazing is that these air currents rush and collide in the passage without making any wind noise.

Long Long carefully studied the inner wall of the ventilation duct, thinking, isn't this the Tesla valve structure?I thought it was some formation.

The two left the ventilation duct and continued to climb up the vertical corridor.

If the height is calculated correctly, the end of the secret road network at the highest level should be the residence leading to the royal family.

Thinking of this, Long Long also frowned.

If the secret way network also guarantees the monitoring of the royal family, it can be said to be invulnerable. If my father-in-law hadn't rashly expeditioned to the human world and failed miserably, maybe he could really rule in the Eastern Emperor's Realm for thousands of generations!

The two finally climbed to the end and came to a secret room.

This is not so much a secret room as it is a narrow interlayer between the walls. The back of his head is against the wall, and his nose is almost touching the front wall.

Longhu was a little uncomfortable being squeezed, and was about to speak, when suddenly Long Long quickly gestured to her with his eyes.
