Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 547 Secret tunnel, hidden map

The Shenlong Pagoda, a tall pagoda built under the supervision of Emperor Yinglong himself, is made of white jade-colored stone bricks, very similar to the jade bricks in the secret realm of Baiyujing.

Long Long and Long Hu were protected in a quiet room at the bottom of the Shenlong Pagoda. The outside was closely guarded by the monks of the Qilin family, with layers of guards, and even a fly could not easily fly in.

Of course, without Long Long bothering to explain, Longhu can also see that this protection also has some meaning of imprisonment.

After all, the original guard team of the envoys of the Dragon Clan has also been isolated at this time, and they are not allowed to visit inside.

After realizing this, Longhu became visibly anxious.

Fortunately, with Long Long by her side, she wouldn't panic too much, but kept stroking her tail nervously.

Don't stroke it anymore. Long Long persuaded helplessly, If you stroke it again, your tail will almost be bald.

It won't be bald. Longhu was a little unhappy.

The two have been locked in this underground room for almost a whole day.

Not only did no one come to visit, even at least no water was delivered. Although the monster clan has gotten rid of their dependence on blood food after the transformation, this kind of inhumane treatment still highlights the contempt of the Qilin clan for the two of them... It is almost a matter of saying clearly, You two stay in peace for me, Don't run around and provoke assassins.

In this regard, Long Long has no good solution.

What he can confirm now is that the Qilin clan will never harm himself and the dragon fox, because that would be tantamount to tearing their skins apart with the Canglong clan.

But on this basis, Long Long highly suspects that the Canglong clan is using himself and Longhu as a bargaining chip to engage in some kind of political game with the Qilin clan, otherwise the clan would not be indifferent to the fact that the two are now imprisoned... Even if the main purpose is to protect the safety of the two of them, this kind of treatment is too harsh and rude.

Thinking about it carefully, the assassin's purpose behind assassinating himself and Longhu was also very simple - it should be to kill the two of them.

Because the current political situation is too clear: Zhongzhou Qilin and Nanzhou Zhuniao have just ceased fighting, and it is impossible to start another war with Dongzhou Canglong.

Considering that Qilin still has the support of Xuanwu and Baihu, Canglong naturally has no idea of ​​challenging Qilin. The peace between the two clans is based on the fear of each other's strength, and it cannot be easily shaken by an assassination incident.

Considering that the man behind the scenes would not fail to see this, the only explanation for the motive of the assassination is the assassination itself.

But have Longhu and I offended anyone?

No!

Long Long thought to himself that he had always been kind to others, and never easily made enemies with others. Even though he might have had a little bit of unhappiness with some Yu tribes on the way to escape from Nanzhou to the north, it was not enough for the other party to use such force To assassinate himself... According to Qingpingjian, that blow already had the strength to assassinate a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It is really puzzling.

Fortunately, he soon had no time to continue thinking, because Longhu started wandering around the room, sniffing everywhere.

It's windy here, she said suddenly.

What's the wind? Long Long was taken aback when he heard this.

Hush. ​​Longhu raised his index finger and said, There is air flow in this room.

Of course there is air flow in this room. Long Long said nonchalantly, Because there is a fox running around all over the room, and there are still hairs floating in the breeze.

I'm not talking about the wind I brought! Longhu shouted angrily, and then lowered his voice, I mean... I suspect there is a secret passage here.

Secret passage?

Only the gap in the secret passage will bring in the outside air. Longhu continued to wander around the corner of the room, touching here and there from time to time, and carefully inspecting it.

Seeing that she was so sure, Long Long couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Since my fox is so sure, I'd better check it carefully.

So Long Long also accompanied Longhu, patrolling around the room.

With careful searching and scanning, Long Long finally discovered that the airflow Longhu said came from the floor under their feet.

Lifting off the carpet laid on the ground, I saw a huge stone brick underneath.

The stone bricks were very thick, and the knocking sound didn't sound hollow. Longhu lay curiously on the edge of the floor bricks, and realized that the breath was indeed seeping out from the gaps on the edge of the stone bricks.

Vents? No, who would put the ventilation under the floor!

Longhu took out the Huming sword and tried to pry the stone bricks from the edge of the gap.

She blushed with effort, but the stone remained motionless, as if laughing at her futility.

Long Long was silent for a moment, then pressed his hand on the floor tiles.

The Five Elements Divine Light erupted from his palm, and the floor tiles seemed to dissolve, and soon disappeared.

It's amazing! Longhu immediately exclaimed, Long Long, what kind of bloodline supernatural power is that?

It's just a trick. Although the Eastern Emperor's Realm and the Human Realm are not connected, Long Long didn't intend to tell the little fox anything, but just changed the topic skillfully, Huh? There is indeed a tunnel down there.

Below the stone bricks is a vertical corridor, and there are fixed wooden ladders and switches on the side of the corridor.

After carefully observing the structure of the switch and the cross-section of the dissolved stone brick, Long Long knew that the stone brick was actually driven by a one-way switch.

If someone climbs up from the tunnel below, they can use the switch on the side of the corridor to push the stone bricks away from the bottom to the top using the principle of leverage. There is a strong handle, so it is impossible to pry it up.

Longlong. Longhu whispered again, Are we going down?

Wait a moment. Long Long cast his gaze outside the door of the room.

There were two Qilin monks standing outside the door, responsible for guarding the room and not letting them go out.

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!
