After divorcing Marshal

Shi Ze and the others came here to take a look inside the underground palace, so of course they couldn't give up halfway.

"We all have the ability to protect ourselves. You are a civilian worker. It is more dangerous to follow us inside. After we go in, you can wait for us here." Shi Ze said to Assistant Gao Feng.

"But..." Assistant Gao Feng hesitated a little. His duty was to accompany He Sen. Of course, he couldn't let He Sen have any accidents, but what Shi Ze said was also reasonable. His physical fitness was indeed... a bit weak.

"Don't worry, don't you know who is standing in front of you?" Shi Ze glanced at He Sen and pointed out.

He Sen is the one with the strongest genes in the empire and the one with the strongest spiritual power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest person in the entire empire.

Assistant Gao Feng also thought of this, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Then you must be careful, keep in touch with me, and get out as soon as possible in case of danger."

"can."

After persuading Assistant Gao Feng, the team that wants to enter the underground palace will become their own people, and then there is no need to worry about scaring people when using spells.

Shi Ze got up, and quietly poured spiritual power into the Jiuji Qinghui Seal when he used the excuse to look at the bronze door.

The spiritual power was still quickly absorbed, but Xiao Yinling had no intention of waking up, and he didn't know what was going on.

Not knowing when Xiao Yinling would wake up, Shi Ze decided to find a way to open the door first.

The last guard team that entered the underground palace used violent methods to open the underground palace and blew a hole where the door of the underground palace connected to the wall, but now the hole is blocked, and they have to pile up the hole to get in. It is not difficult to dig out the full stones.But if you can find the mechanism to open the door, it will be easier.

After scanning the bronze door, He Sen said: "The mechanism of the bronze door is damaged, and the mechanism needs to be repaired from the inside to open the door. Now we have to enter through this hole."

He Xing commanded the people to clear away the stones blocking the entrance of the cave. After half an hour, the stones were cleared away.

After resting in place for a while, He Sen left four people to wait at the door with Assistant Gao Feng. He and Shi Ze led He Xing and three other members of the pro-guards through the hole and entered the underground palace.

……

hours later.

Shi Ze and the others finally arrived at the main tomb. The scale of this underground palace is larger than the several tombs they encountered before, and the construction is extremely luxurious, showing their power and status everywhere. But at the same time, this underground palace is also full of traps. , even though Shi Ze was very careful all the way, he still accidentally fell into several traps. If the people in the team were not He Sen and his elites, the corpses would be completely cold by now.

Several members of the SS were panting against the wall, and they were covered in sweat.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many traps in the underground palace of the ancients, all of which are dangerous and deadly. I really can't underestimate this underground palace."

He Sen glanced at them, "It is fatal to underestimate the enemy."

Several team members tensed their bodies and lowered their heads to accept the training.

Shi Ze: "This is the main tomb. I have checked it. It is safe for the time being. Let's all take a rest."

The guards all looked at He Sen, and saw that He Sen also asked them to rest, so they breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground to rest and recover their strength.

He Xing: "I came across many corpses of members of the guard along the way. It seems that they did lose a lot of people when they came last time."

He Sen: "Similarly, almost all the valuable things in this underground palace have been removed, and all that are left are some unremarkable items."

Shi Ze: "The most strange thing is that this is the main tomb, but there is no coffin, only an altar where something is placed...Looking at the size, it should be the Jiuji Qinghui Seal."

There was a groove on the altar that was the same size as the Jiuji Qinghui Seal. Shize took out the Jiuji Qinghui Seal and tried to put it back in. The seam fit perfectly and the size was just right.

The conjecture was confirmed, but it is unreasonable without the coffin of the owner of the tomb, but they have already traveled all over the underground palace, where else can the coffin be hidden?

He Sen turned on the scanner and scanned the underground building.

"There is an underground floor here." After He Sen finished speaking, Shi Ze's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to take a look. He Sen pointed to the image displayed on the scanner and said, "But the scanned image looks pretty good, logically speaking This distance should not be unclear, it is very likely that there is some special energy that hinders the scanning. I have encountered some places with special energy fields before, and this has happened before."

Shi Ze pondered: "Then I'll look for the mechanism that opens the basement first, and see what it is."

I have already arrived here, and I always feel reconciled if I don't find out the situation on the basement floor.

He Sen also agreed, "Take a rest for 10 minutes before continuing."

Taking advantage of the rest time, Shi Ze searched the main tomb again, and finally returned to the altar.

"Nothing else was found, only this altar is left." Shi Ze said.

The problem is, although the shape of this altar has been carefully designed, it is not complicated, and the structure can be seen clearly at a glance. What mechanism can it hide?

He Sen turned on the scanner and scanned the altar carefully, but did not find anything inside the altar.

Isn't it an altar?

But Shize had an indescribable feeling that this altar must have other methods.

He stretched out his hand to touch the surroundings of the altar, and finally touched some engravings under the protruding position of the edge of the altar.

After touching it with his hands, Shi Ze felt that the engraved pattern was not simple, and it looked like some special rune pattern. He took out a pen and paper from the ancient jade space, squatted on the edge of the altar, and carefully put those rune patterns Rubbing down.

"What is this?" He Xing and the others leaned over to look at it. When they saw the twisted runes, they felt dizzy and couldn't figure out what it was.

Shi Ze focused his eyes on the rubbings of the runes, and felt familiar, as if he had seen them before.

After a while, he remembered where he had seen it before. It was recorded in the notes of the Taoist inheritance that this kind of rune is a kind of key. Activating the rune can open hidden doors and traps. Rune method.

Seeing Shize's focused expression and bright eyes, the others seemed to have discovered something, and they didn't make a sound to disturb him.

About 10 minutes later, Shi Ze put down the pen and paper, and reached out to touch the runes engraved under the edge of the altar. Others didn't see what he did, but saw a circle under the altar suddenly light up, and then sacrificed The platform suddenly moved, and moved to the left after a click, revealing a staircase at the bottom of the cave.

Shi Ze thought it was Yin Qi at first, but later found out that it was not, it was pure cold air, as if the basement floor was an ice cellar.

However, everyone present is very strong in physique, and this coldness is nothing, they can hold on.

But Shi Ze didn't go down immediately, he said: "The owner of this underground palace is the national teacher of the Zhao Dynasty. Judging from the unlocked rune key, he is very likely to be a monk with cultivation base. I don't know what will happen next." , everyone, be careful, he puts on your talismans."

The others responded.

He Sen asked, "Is Xiao Yinling awake yet?"

Shi Ze shook his head: "He slept rosy, I think he absorbed my spiritual power and fell asleep so comfortably."

Otherwise, it couldn't explain why he was about to wake up, but fell into a deep sleep after absorbing his spiritual power, and couldn't even call him for help.

He Sen: "Then be careful."

Shi Ze nodded.

Afterwards, He Sen left one person to guard the exit. If the exit was closed by accident, he would use violent means to break open the entrance.

After making arrangements, He Sen followed Shi Ze, He Xing and two other members of the pro-guard followed behind them, walking down the stairs step by step.

It was dark and opaque below, and they reached the basement floor after turning a few turns of the stairs.

"Looking at the height of the stairs, the basement level is not small," He Sen said.

Shi Ze: "This should be the place where the coffin of Master Shen is actually stored."

Shi Ze and the others turned on the light of the bracelet, carefully looked around the place where they were standing, and found that there was nothing here, and the empty words were responses.

"There is a detour ahead." He Sen said, the light on his wristband was shining directly on the detour.

Shi Ze walked there with him, carefully watching the surroundings, until they appeared at the turn, and there was no danger. After the turn, there was a straight and long corridor, which was built in a very regular way, but said To be honest, the construction style of the basement floor is quite different from that of the upper floor. The upper floor is very luxuriously built, full of exquisite details, showing identity and status everywhere, but the basement floor is very simple. , the walls are bare, the corridors are bare, not to mention the murals, you can't even see a lamp, as if the owner here doesn't like those fancy things at all.

"It's strange. In other tombs, the main chamber where the coffins are stored is the most luxurious, but here it's the opposite." He Xing and others also noticed it.

Shi Ze led them into the long corridor, while paying close attention to the surroundings, he said: "I haven't seen the coffin of Master Shen yet, maybe the place where he stores the coffin is full of gold, silver and jewels."

After walking along the long corridor for a long time without reaching the end, Shi Ze stopped, and the others also felt strange.

"Where does this corridor lead to? Why have you walked for so long without reaching the end?"

"We've been walking for 10 minutes. According to our speed, we are already far away from the tomb on the upper floor."

"Could this be a huge tomb? Like the tomb of a certain emperor in ancient times, it occupies a terrifyingly vast area. It's like building an entire palace underground."

Shi Ze shook his head slightly: "I just looked at the scan. Although the organization on the basement floor can't be seen clearly, there is still a rough outline, not on such a large scale."

He looked at the corridor carefully, and the corridors on all sides looked like nothing special, but this also meant that it was the same as any corridor he had seen before.He said: "The first possibility is that the scanner did not scan the entire area. We are indeed far away from the range of the tomb on the upper floor. The second possibility is that we have entered a maze-like place and are going around in circles."

He pulled out the Qinghong sword, drew a mark on the wall, and made a mark.

"Continue to go."

……

Another 10 minutes passed, and they were still walking in the corridor. Along the way, Shi Ze had already made ten marks, but so far they haven't encountered the mark made by Shi Ze.

"If we were going around in a circle, it should be a turn, but this corridor looks straight." The member of the pro-guard said.

Shi Ze: "If there is a blindfold here, our eyes will be deceived."

And this possibility is extremely high, because the owner of the tomb here is a cultivated monk, and it should be easy for him to set up blindfolds.

After walking for another 10 minutes, Shi Ze and the others finally saw a mark made by Shi Ze.

"This is, the first mark!" He Xing said.

Shi Ze said: "It seems that we circled back to the origin and it took three to ten minutes."

It took three to ten minutes to circle around, and the scale of the basement floor was far larger than they thought.

Shi Ze rummaged through his backpack and found some talisman papers, found a pure heart and tranquility talisman, and stuck it on himself.

"Then you close your eyes, hold hands, and follow behind me." Shi Ze said.

He Sen: "Are you going to walk with your eyes closed?"

Shi Ze nodded: "I will walk ahead, if there is any danger, Qinghongjian will immediately demonstrate, so follow me closely."

He Sen thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Because Shi Ze wanted to touch the wall with one hand and hold the sword with the other, He Sen walked up behind Shi Ze, held the corner of Shi Ze's clothes, closed his eyes, but his spirit improved a lot.

He Xing shook He Sen with one hand, and a member of the personal guard with the other, and the latter two also did the same.

Shi Ze touched the wall with one hand, and held the Qinghong sword in the other, closed his eyes, and said, "Let's go."

Shi Ze kept moving forward at his normal speed, and the people behind all followed him with heightened vigilance.

Time passed bit by bit, and after walking for about six or seven minutes, Shi Ze stopped.

He Sen: "What's wrong?"

Shi Ze: "There is a fork in the road."

There was a fork in front of him, Shi Ze tried to open his eyes, but he saw a straight passage, but when he closed his eyes, he perceived two fork.

He chose another fork in a different direction.

"Continue to go."

The others followed him into the fork. After entering the fork, the cold seemed to be a little heavier. There was still only the light from their bracelets around them, and the walls on both sides were very cold.

"This is really an ice cellar."

"What kind of ice cellar is still working after so long, that's too powerful."

About 5 minutes later, Shi Ze stopped again. He opened his eyes and saw a suspension bridge in front of him. Under the suspension bridge was a bottomless darkness. He didn't know what was underneath. There is a line written in the ancient characters, to the effect that they should go back the way they came, and if they insist on going forward, there is only one dead end.

Shi Ze frowned, and looked across the suspension bridge at the dark place that could swallow up the light.

"It's here?" He Sen asked later, Shi Ze came back to his senses: "You can open your eyes now."

The people behind opened their eyes and saw the suspension bridge and the stele.
