Chapter 81 Cracking

There are symmetrical side halls on both sides of the polished white stone road. In the middle, a -foot-wide main road goes straight upward, and the majestic main hall stands in the center.

The hall is very high, supported by dozens of tall stone pillars carved with dragons, and the plaque towers into the clouds, misty in the gray mist.

Climbing up the stairs, you can reach the gate of the ancient palace. The purple-red ancient wooden palace doors are exquisitely carved, each painted with complex and mysterious beast totems. The palace doors are wide open, but you can't see what's going on inside when you stand outside. At a glance, it's The gray and black area seemed unfriendly.

The main hall of the Shangjing Palace is also very high, but compared with the one here, it looks like a three-year-old child looking up at a tall adult man.

Huo Xiang stood at the door. He was quite tall but looked like an inconspicuous cockroach in front of the two grand doors. He let out an "ah ha~" sound in his mouth and shook his arms meaninglessly a few times. Pacing back and forth outside the palace gate.

There seemed to be something like a boundary wall at the threshold. The gray-black mist condensed into substance inside the door, but it was blocked by something and could not see through at all.

Turning around and looking from a distance, more and more corpse soldiers were demolishing Wan Yanjing's house. The side hall was crumbling and might collapse at any time.

Huo Xiang hesitated for a while, but still felt that the dungeon gate of the main hall looked dangerous and terrifying, and it was not something he could handle.

The insurance was canceled, so he ran back again.

Wanyanjing sat cross-legged on the roof with her eyes closed. She was swaying back and forth in the side hall, but she remained motionless. She looked like a master, but in fact, her inner clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Huo Xiang shouted to her through a hundred corpse soldiers.

"The palace door is open, but you can't see clearly what's inside..."

Wanyanjing had no time to pay attention to him. Her ears twitched and she carefully distinguished the "bang bang" impact of the corpse soldiers.

Opening your eyes quickly——

It's now!

The side hall was finally overwhelmed and collapsed. At that moment, Wanyanjing threw out the machine that she had been holding firmly in her hand. The steel rope quickly popped out, wrapped twice around Huo Xiang not far away, and then stretched. tight.

Wan Yanjing took advantage of the strength and quickly shortened the steel rope, pulling her to Huo Xiang's side.

"call!"

She was breathing heavily, looking at the side hall and corpse soldiers sunk into the ground, a little confused.

The place where the side hall used to be was not a ruin with broken walls, but a large, empty and irregular hole, so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom.

The white stone slab under the feet seemed to be a thin layer, separating the palace from the abyss below.

The corpse soldiers who had not fallen into the hole noticed that the target had changed position, and turned around one after another. Countless bronze masks with ferocious styles came one after another.

"Run!"

"Well..." Huo Xiang twisted his body as he ran, loosening the ropes tied to his body, and letting Wan Yanjing take back the tricks he had mastered.

If he wasn't running for his life, he would have wanted to study this gadget that allowed Wan Yanjing to fly over walls and walls. What boy doesn't like to fly over walls and walls?

And her steel knife is so exquisite that it is unlike any product of this era...

This chase was unexpectedly short. Before they could even take two steps, the palace began to shake violently.

"Earth... an earthquake?"

Before Huo Xiang's voice-breaking shout ended, the white stone slab beneath his feet cracked with countless cracks, and he felt weightless in an instant. At that moment, he only had time to hug Wanyan Jing, who was running in front of him.

Immediately plunged into darkness.

In the deserted temple, Ergou and Lao Xu looked at each other.

"Xinqiu, master and master are eloping?"

Ergou was leaning at the temple door, scratching his head and having many doubts.

Lao Xu packed up his belongings in an orderly manner and looked outside the temple after hearing this.

"The carriage is gone, but the horse is still there. Your Majesty acted as a rickshaw driver to pull the carriage away in the middle of the night?" "Isn't it true? Are you playing so wildly?" Ergou opened his eyes wide.

This was interesting, and Lao Xu smiled: "So your name is Diao Ergou, who are you Diao Shunzi?"

"That's my sister, do you know my sister?"

Old Xu blew his nose and nodded: "I have met you a few times. So, you are also from Diaojia Village. No wonder, you have the same Luyang accent."

"What should we do now? Master and wife must have disappeared because of an accident. They really wanted to leave, why didn't they tell me?"

Lao Xu took out a pack of fragrant pancakes from his arms and ate them with relish: "Are you and Shunzi siblings? You two look nothing alike!"

"Could it be those people in the village who kidnapped the master and his wife? I looked at them with strange expressions yesterday."

"Your boy has a much better temper than your sister. Your sister is a firecracker."

"No, I might as well go to the village and ask around..."

"The feed is all in the car. Alas, my poor horses can't get any good feed today."

"Hey! Did you listen to me?" Ergou got angry.

Old Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Since your surname is Diao, haven't you heard of Shilan Barren Tomb?"

"It sounds familiar, what is it?"

Lao Xu looked at Ergou with disdain, thinking that he was stupid and had discredited the surname Diao.

"It's an old story. The Wen Shilan clan of the Central Plains was the ruler of Central Continent a thousand years ago. It is said that the Wen Shilan royal family is immortal, and their souls can remain immortal for thousands of years after death. The Shilan Wasteland is a wisp of Middle Earth. Luck, and you, Diaojia Village, are probably the gatekeepers of Shilan Barren Tomb."

Ergou looked at Lao Xu with admiration, and suddenly felt that Lao Xu was extraordinary.

I have known for a long time that there are many talented people under the master's command, but I never thought that even this ordinary and slightly wretched groom Lao Xu seemed to be a hidden senior expert who knew so many secrets.

"You mean, Master, they might have gone in there? What were they doing there?"

Old Xu smiled enigmatically and said nothing, and handed him a piece of scallion pancake.

"The weather is nice today, we can eat slowly and wait."

Ergou looked at him doubtfully and reached out to take the cake. Don't tell me, he was really hungry.

"Snapped!"

The pancake was not caught and fell to the ground.

A violent vibration came suddenly. Ergou was already at the door. Without saying a word, he stepped forward, picked up Lao Xu and ran away.

The deserted temple also collapsed in the next second, throwing up countless dust.

The branches shook, and all the insects, fish, birds and beasts in the forest came out and fled in all directions.

"Xinqiu, I'm so unlucky today!"

Ergou barked wildly and went to untie the horse tied to the tree. He took the time to look back at Lao Xu.

The old man who was smiling before now has a serious expression, his face is slightly pale, and his eyes are empty and he doesn't know what he is looking at.

"How can this happen, how can this happen?"

"What's this and that? What an old-haired idiot."

Ergou followed his line of sight and was also stunned.
