The God of War.
Chapter 20: Strange Intersection
It turned out that Yang Qingqing entered the Shuowang Palace with his twenty teammates and the leader, Elder Yu Yangming of Cangjian Peak.
First of all, everything went smoothly, and they got a few low-level spiritual tools and some medicinal pills in a side hall. It was in this side hall, just when they were about to withdraw from the side hall, that something unexpected happened.
No one knew when the door closed automatically, locking all twenty of them in this side hall. Everyone was so anxious that they ran around in circles, trying their best but still couldn't open the door, so they had to look for opportunities in other rooms in the side hall to see if they could find a way out.
So, everyone started looking for a way out from room to room, and Yang Qingqing also joined the search team.
Originally, Elder Jiang was not going to let Yang Qingqing out, but now, Yang Qingqing is the treasure in Elder Jiang's heart. Later, when Elder Jiang saw that it was Elder Yu Yangming who was leading the team, he felt relieved to hand Yang Qingqing over to Elder Yu Yangming and asked Yu Yangming to take special care of her. So, when Yu Yangming saw Yang Qingqing enter a room alone, he hurriedly followed, fearing that something might happen to Yang Qingqing.
Yu Yangming knew that if that happened, he would have a hard time explaining himself when he returned.
After Yang Qingqing entered a room, he found a secret door, but he couldn't open it no matter what he did, so he had to call Elder Yu. After Elder Yu came, he looked left and right but couldn't find a way to open the door, so Elder Yu asked Yang Qingqing to stand still while he went out to call someone who knew how to open the door.
But after Elder Yu left for a while, the door opened automatically, either by Yang Qingqing or by Elder Yu who had just left, causing some mechanism to be triggered. Yang Qingqing followed Elder Yu's instructions and did not go in immediately, but stood outside the door waiting for Elder Yu to come.
But after waiting for a long time, Elder Yu still didn't come, so Yang Qingqing didn't wait for Elder Yu and walked in alone.
As soon as Yang Qingqing entered the door, before she could react, the door suddenly closed again. Moreover, the place where she had just entered was originally a door, but now it was a wall, and Yang Qingqing could not find any trace of the door at all.
Yang Qingqing's head was dizzy at this moment. She slapped the place where she had just entered with her hands. However, no matter how hard she hit, there was only a green and black gold stone wall with a blue-black glow. The stone wall was extremely heavy, and Yang Qingqing's hands could not make any sound when they hit it.
There was no other way, so Yang Qingqing had to start looking for a way out in the room. Unexpectedly, she found a jade box. She didn't know what was hidden in the jade box. After all, the things in the Shuowang Palace should be treasures. So, she picked up the jade box and prepared to leave. At this time, four people came in from a door at the side and saw Yang Qingqing and the things in Yang Qingqing's hands.
The four men looked around and saw that there was no one else, so they became bold and wanted to catch Yang Qingqing and snatch the things in her hands.
How could Yang Qingqing just surrender when she saw four people coming to rob her things? She picked up her things and ran away. So, the scene that Lin Fei saw when he came over happened.
After Yang Qingqing finished speaking, she handed the jade box to Lin Fei. Lin Fei took the jade box from Yang Qingqing's hand and saw that the jade box was covered with tadpole-shaped runes. Each rune seemed alive. When the hand touched it, the rune immediately changed into another shape. Moreover, under the rune, Lin Fei also saw a layer of restriction, that is, the jade box was locked by two formations. If the runes and formations on it were not broken, even if it was opened, the things inside would be destroyed.
What a strange and magical thing. What on earth is this? Why is it sealed up layer by layer like this?
Lin Fei's curiosity made his hands itch. If Tianlin hadn't been around, he would really have found a way to open the jade box and take a look. Unfortunately, Tianlin was around, so it was better not to let her know some things.
"You need to find someone who understands to open it. Keep it well. It might be a real treasure."
Lin Fei returned the things to Yang Qingqing, and Yang Qingqing put them in her storage ring.
"You can't find anyone else now, so just follow Tianlin and me. It won't be too late to go back after we find others." Lin Fei couldn't let Yang Qingqing walk alone in the Heavenly Palace again. This time, Rao Xing met Lin Fei, and there would be no such good thing next time.
If something really happened to Yang Qingqing in the Heavenly Palace, it would be a lifelong regret for Lin Fei.
"Okay, then I'll follow you first. However, this will trouble you, Master Lin."
Yang Qingqing was really hoping that Lin Fei would say that. When she was in the Three Swords Sect, she had wanted to find Lin Fei many times, but was stopped by her master every time. Now that she met him this time, she was so happy.
"You know I don't like to be polite, just follow me."
After getting the lotus seeds and meeting Yang Qingqing here, Lin Fei was in a good mood.
The three of them rested for a while and observed the situation around them. Lin Fei estimated that he should be at the edge of the central hall now.
Lin Fei thought, since we are already here, let’s go into the central hall and take a look.
After asking Tianlin and Yang Qingqing, they both had no objection, so the three of them started to head towards the central hall.
They walked along a long corridor running from east to west, with Lin Fei in front, Yang Qingqing in the middle, and Tian Lin at the rear. The three of them walked at a moderate pace, following the fish monster.
The corridor kept changing direction like the branches of a tree, going forward all the time. The three of them didn't know how long the corridor was. However, based on the direction, Lin Fei believed that the end of the corridor should be the direction of the central hall.
Occasionally, they would meet a few people who came in to look for treasure. They were all in a hurry like Lin Fei and his friends. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to have not found anything good.
Lin Fei always insists on the point of view that if others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke others. Therefore, as long as the people he meets don’t provoke him, he will not take the initiative to provoke others.
They just passed each other by, without any grudge or hatred.
Sometimes other people looked at him unkindly, but Lin Fei didn't care. He just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
The corridor went straight forward and began to narrow. Lin Fei guessed from the faces of those who hurried past that this heavenly palace did not seem to be so friendly. Some people were even injured. It was not known whether it was a problem with the mechanism or a fight with others. In short, everyone's face seemed to be telling a story, each with its own color.
However, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that the Heavenly Palace originally belonged to someone else. If you insist on snatching it, do you think others will let you get it easily?
Besides, people have narrow minds. When they see others get a treasure, they want to get it themselves. However, there is only one treasure, so they have to take action. When you take action, there will always be harm. This is why these people lose their hands and feet.
In short, all problems stem from one word: greed. Greed gives rise to evil, evil gives rise to madness, madness gives rise to unreasonableness, and unreasonableness gives rise to killing!
Human heart, thinking of this, Lin Fei shook his head helplessly.
After walking another hundred feet or so, they suddenly seemed to enter a dark cave. However, what surprised them was that the distance from day to night was just one step.
It was still noon, how come it suddenly became dark? Lin Fei, Yang Qingqing and the other two quickly stepped back. Strangely, after they stepped back, the sky became bright again. It was as if there was an invisible wall in between, with darkness in front of the wall and day behind it.
Lin Fei observed carefully for a while, but could not see any difference in front of him. He asked Tianlin and Yang Qingqing, but they just shook their heads and could not see any difference. Their eyes could even see far ahead.
Space changes!
Lin Fei suddenly thought of what people call space folding and space distortion. He often saw these words when he was in college. However, those things were only on paper. Now, this phenomenon appeared in front of him. Tell me, isn’t it shocking?
How is it possible? The space here and the space inside are generally in the same time period. If space is not supported by time, then this space cannot be called another space, but only another face in the same space. In other words, this Shuo King took advantage of the changes between the faces and used some kind of formation to create a process that looks like a space change.
Lin Fei understood in his heart that it was the formation that was causing the problem. What level was the formation of King Shuo at?
Now that he had thought it through, Lin Fei walked forward with confidence and entered the darkness. Tian Lin and the others had no choice but to follow him quickly.
Continue forward, as soon as you cross that surface, the front becomes dark, as if the three of them suddenly entered a dark world. However, Lin Fei had already prepared, and took out a glowing fluorite from the storage ring, and the three of them continued to move forward under the weak light of the fluorite.
After walking about a hundred feet, there was a fork in the road ahead, leading to three directions. There was a lantern hanging on each fork. However, there was no light inside the lantern. There were only two words written on each lantern: Heaven, Hell, and Earth.
Needless to say, everyone knows that only one of the three intersections leads to the main hall, and the other two are definitely full of death and disaster.
"Mr. Lin, which direction should we go?" Yang Qingqing looked at the words on the three lanterns in front of her, looking confused and helpless.
"Lin Fei, are we going to the human world or heaven?" Tian Lin also looked at Lin Fei at this time. In her understanding, hell is definitely not allowed, so there are only the human world and heaven.
Heaven symbolizes freedom and longevity, the world symbolizes harmony and peace, and hell symbolizes endless darkness and death.
Lin Fei did not answer them immediately. Looking at these six words, he was thinking deeply. You know, he is now carrying the lives of two other people on his shoulders. Moreover, they both trust him. His choice will determine the life and death of himself and them. If he is not careful and enters a place he should not enter, then there is no regret medicine.
The reason why King Shuo did this was to make people give up and stop moving forward. People always like freedom and happiness, so most people would choose the human world and heaven. But why did King Shuo write a hell?
That’s right, do the opposite.
King Shuo saw through people's greed, so he set up such an intersection to test everyone who came in. Only those who truly understood this truth would choose the right intersection first, so as to enter and get the items hidden by King Shuo. Of course, if you are not a wise person, do not get the approval of King Shuo, and choose a wrong intersection, it may mean death and loss.
Lin Fei felt ashamed. King Shuo who lived ten thousand years ago could see things so clearly. If King Shuo were still alive, who would be his opponent?
Everything always transforms into each other under certain conditions. The reason why some people say that everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme, and good times will come after bad times, is nothing more than telling us that sometimes when we think about things, we should not always go in one direction and think that the words that look auspicious on the surface are correct. On the contrary, sometimes, behind the beautiful words are traps like the abyss, and behind those words that look dangerous on the surface, there may be a smooth road.
This also proves the saying in the art of war: All is fair in war!
Thinking of this, Lin Fei's mouth curled up slightly, and then he strode into the passage under the lantern in hell.
Tianlin and Yang Qingqing were very happy to see Lin Fei made his choice, and followed him without even looking. When they reached the door, they noticed that the passage they were about to enter was actually hell.
A huge wave of emotion suddenly surged in their hearts, and they were about to look up and ask Lin Fei, but Lin Fei had already walked far away in Qiannan.
Instinctively, even though they disagreed a thousand times in their hearts, they had to follow in. After all, Lin Fei had no reason to harm them.
The footsteps of the three people echoed in the corridor. As they moved forward, they all felt a little depressed. After moving forward another fifty feet, the front suddenly became brighter. At this time, the three people could see clearly that the road they passed was completely sealed and made of a precious material, black and black gold stone.
"What a generous act! This material is a precious one for refining weapons. Others can hardly get even a gram of it. But this old man Shuo used large pieces of it to build the corridor. What a waste of precious materials!"
Looking at the long corridor behind him, Lin Fei almost cursed.
"Lin Fei, look!" Lin Fei was still sighing when Tian Lin, who was walking in front of him, suddenly shouted loudly.
Lin Fei walked quickly to Tianlin and looked in the direction of Tianlin's finger. A skeleton suddenly caught Lin Fei's eye. This was the first time Lin Fei saw someone being killed here in the few days since he entered the Heavenly Palace.
Judging from the shape of the skeleton at death, he was killed by someone stabbing him in the heart from behind with a sword while he was escaping. Judging from the color of the bones, he had been dead for at least thousands of years. Although there was still a little glow on the bones, it was obvious that after being exposed to wind and dew for a long time, the jade bones had begun to become brittle.
The sword inserted into the bones had also rusted and broken. Obviously, this was what happened the last time Tiangong was born.
Seeing the bones, Lin Fei was horrified. This was the bone quality of someone at least at the King or Marquis level. When the Heavenly Palace was born five thousand years ago, countless high-ranking people were alarmed and even people at the King or Marquis level were killed.
No wonder so few people who came in this time got the real treasure. It turns out that this is not the first time that the Heavenly Palace has appeared.
"Let's go and take a look at the front. If there's nothing there, I think we can retreat. There shouldn't be too much here."
Lin Fei understood that there were at least not many peerless treasures left in the Heavenly Palace.
As they moved forward, the number of skeletons in front of them began to increase. Less than a hundred feet ahead, they saw two skeletons. Both had their heads chopped off by a knife or a sword, and there was nothing left on these dead people.
It can be seen that the fight at that time was fierce and greedy.
Looking at these skeletons, a shadow cast over the hearts of the three people, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more depressing.
Ten meters later, there were three puppets made of copper essence and mithril lying on the ground. Based on the size of the puppets and the strength of the materials, Lin Fei analyzed that each puppet was at least at the peak of the King Realm. It can be imagined that in order to defeat such a puppet in the Spirit Realm, it would take a master at least in the middle realm of the Law Realm or higher.
Such masters are hard to find in the world today. In today's world, the highest masters are only those at the king and prince level.
If Lin Fei and his group were the first group of people to enter the Heavenly Palace, then facing such a puppet, they probably wouldn't even think of escaping.
Lin Fei put the three puppets into his storage ring. Although the puppets were broken, these materials were good things second only to mithril.
The three continued to move forward. After more than ten feet, they turned a corner and a palace towering into the clouds came into view. On top of the main entrance of the palace, three large characters were clearly visible.
