Chapter 497 Broken

Fu Lu was too lazy to pretend anymore. He had already appeared taller than the others by standing there hunched over, and he was also more robust than the others by hunching his back. Now he simply straightened his back and stood up, and suddenly he became even taller.

The guards were surprised to see how tall and imposing he was, and they hadn't noticed him before. They exchanged glances, secretly astonished.

Then they saw the talisman walk straight to a tree planted in the corner of the wall. The tree was as thick as a bowl in the bay and had lush branches and leaves.

The talisman walked up and bent down to hug the tree trunk.

"Your brother wants to uproot this tree?!" Although the guard beside him looked at Fu Lu as a tall and burly man, he still felt that his actions at this moment were somewhat overestimating his abilities, and his tone involuntarily became more sarcastic.

Rune just glanced at him silently without saying anything, and the guard pursed his lips in annoyance.

Fu Lu hugged the tree trunk and began to shake it vigorously. The branches and leaves at the top of the tree made a rustling sound as he shook them, and the leaves quickly fell to the ground.

After shaking it a few times, the talisman suddenly stopped. Then, his arm muscles bulged, he exerted all his strength, his face turned red, and he shouted, "Break!"

A tree trunk as thick as the rim of a large bowl was snapped in two by his loud shout.

Fu Lu placed the tree trunk on the ground, casually broke off the branches and leaves from the crown and tossed them aside, then walked over with the thick, long log in one hand and said to Fu Wen, "Brother, lend a hand."

“Come on!” Rune nodded and followed behind Rune, hugging the log as well.

The two brothers hoisted the log onto their shoulders, charged forward a few steps, and used the end of the log to ram the star gate.

The door panel, which initially appeared quite sturdy, seemed to be able to hold on for a while, but after a few blows, it became loose and was eventually smashed open by the wood, with cracks appearing even in the dark door panel.

Without even breaking a sweat, Fu Lu casually tossed the piece of wood in his hand aside as if it were a brick, glanced disdainfully at the guard who had asked him to open the door, and then turned back to stand behind Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu almost strained his already barely noticeable abs from trying to hold back his laughter.

She really didn't know where the Brahma King's guards came from; they were just fierce-looking bandits with a domineering attitude towards men and women, and they didn't have any brains at all.

Who said you have to push a door open with your hand?!
They were already unlikely to give the high priest any face this time. Regardless of whether the two doors in front of them were poisoned or not, the most important thing was the result of "opening" them, not the process of opening them by any means.

Of course, out of contempt for those people, Zhu Yu deliberately ignored the fact that, from the perspective of strength, those people, let alone individually, or even together, might not be able to break such a thick tree.

Now that the two poisonous doors were wide open, the group had lost their momentum. The guards glanced at the two sets of clothes in the pool several times, seemingly wondering if there were any other traps inside.

Zhu Yu and Lu Qing shared the same concern, so Lu Qing gently gestured with his hand at his side, and the runes and talismans remained motionless, standing still in place.

“Aren’t you the Divine Healer’s junior brothers and apprentices or something?” One of the guards rolled his eyes and turned to Lu Qing and the others, saying, “Then you go first. That way, you can be witnesses to what’s going on inside, so that if anything goes wrong, the King won’t think we’re colluding with the High Priest, and we won’t have a good explanation when we get back.”

"Please, you gentlemen, go first." Lu Qing didn't move an inch, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Since King Fan sent you all here, it's clear he trusts you greatly, proving you are all his confidants. On the contrary, we, the traveling physicians from outside, only gained a little face by saving King Fan's life."

Let's go in first. If something really happens, then it'll be hard to explain.

Will it be that your high priest truly intended to murder Brahma, or that we outsiders are deliberately framing him?

When things get unclear, are you willing to stake your lives and fortunes as collateral and testify for us?

His words made the guards hesitate.

It is common knowledge that this man's senior brother saved the king's life, but the king's temperament has always been unpredictable. Perhaps he will value the divine doctor because of his superb medical skills, or perhaps he will cut off the heads of these people and take their lives for some other reason.

This was completely unpredictable.

Because it was completely unpredictable, they didn't know what to do.

In the end, the one who was the youngest made the decision. If the high priest was suspected of poisoning Brahma, then the divine physician brother of this person would naturally still be used by Brahma for a short period of time. So at least at this critical juncture, they couldn't afford to make things too difficult for these people.

So the guards muttered a few words to each other, then changed their attitude and said with smiles, "You're right, you're right. Then you can come with us!"

The group carefully passed through the two doors and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, with nothing else in it except for a house that looked like it had no doors or windows, standing out starkly in the middle.

"What...what is this thing?!" A guard couldn't help but ask in a murmur after examining the "house" in front of him.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of his companions, none of them knew the answer to this question either.

Whether it's a wealthy family or a poor household, a tall building or a low pavilion or a thatched hut or mud-brick house, every house must at least have doors and windows.

This thing in front of me has no doors or windows; it looks more like a large tomb than a house…

But who would build someone else's grave in their own backyard, and even in the shape of a house?

Zhu Yu stood aside, looking at the strange thing in front of her. She had a vague guess in her mind, but after all, there were man-eating fish and deadly doors outside. Even though the courtyard was empty, she still dared not make any rash moves.

After the guards came to their senses, they carefully walked around the house and found that there really wasn't a trace of doors or windows.

Seeing that the others had walked around the courtyard several times without incident, Zhu Yu guessed that there were no traps in the courtyard, so she moved forward as well. Fu Lu quickly followed her and walked to the wall, watching his mistress carefully pry at the wall in front of her.
