Chapter 231: The Chamber of Secrets
The city was huge, and the flying boat flew over the city for a long time before it stopped at one place.
Ji Liao stared at it and saw that under them was a huge courtyard with dozens of acres.
In front of the courtyard is a three-story attic made of white jade, which looks extremely magnificent, and at the top of the attic stands a huge stone plaque, on which are written four vigorous characters, "Huiyuan Shop." ”
Behind the attic was a large clearing, and in the open space stood many low-rise houses, which looked like large families in the mortal world.
There were more than a dozen people walking and stopping in the courtyard, while others were also enjoying the shade under the low eaves.
At this time, the people in the courtyard suddenly saw the flying boat in the void, and immediately exclaimed, "Eh, look, the shopkeeper is back." ”
"Really, the shopkeeper is back, great. ”
"Why is it that only one of the shopkeeper's flying boats has returned?
"yes, what's going on?"
"Eh, why do you care so much? Get out of the way for the shopkeeper. ”
Everyone chattered and began to say something, and then the crowd retreated to both sides.
Ye Tong turned around and looked at Ji Liao and Lu Zhu, holding his hands, his expression was majestic, and he looked arrogant, but the words that could come out of his mouth were completely different.
"Two seniors, after that, the two of you can only be wronged. ”
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything more, and bowed to Ye Tongshen.
Ye Tong pretended to nod, and then slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a black token appeared, and with a mouth, a spiritual aura suddenly came out and hit the token directly.
The token immediately glowed with a faint aura.
Ye Tong took the token and pointed downward.
A light curtain that enveloped the entire courtyard of Huiyuan's shops immediately appeared, and then slowly opened from the center to both sides of the light curtain, cracking a gap.
Ye Tong turned around and looked at the black stone platform at the front of the overtime.
The flying boat immediately trembled and slowly fell towards the courtyard.
"Boom!"
The flying boat fell to the ground, causing the ground to shake, kicking up a large cloud of dust, and falling steadily in the courtyard.
When the smoke and dust cleared, more than a dozen people immediately gathered around.
"You're back, shopkeeper. ”
"Shopkeeper, why are you a few days later than scheduled this time?
"That's right, it wasn't four flying boats when I went, why did you come back with one of them this time?"
Ji Liao slowly walked off the flying boat with Ye Tong, and the people who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded him and asked long questions.
"Okay, don't ask what you shouldn't. Ye Tong was annoyed by the question, and immediately waved his robe sleeves impatiently.
The venue immediately fell silent, and the people who gathered around suddenly looked at me, and I looked at you.
These people are all people who have worked in Huiyuan shops for many years, although Ye Tong is the shopkeeper, but he usually doesn't have any shopkeeper's shelves, and he doesn't get angry with them easily, but for some reason, the shopkeeper is so abnormal this time, so angry, everyone was stunned for a while.
Ye Tong turned around and glanced at everyone in the venue.
"You, you, you, and you! Go and move the contents of the flying boat into the storeroom, and be careful not to break it. After speaking, he turned around and glanced at Lu Yan again, "Lu Yan, you take Zhang Fan and Tiezhu to find a place to live." ”
"Yes!" Lu Yan immediately arched his hand at Ye Tong, turned around and looked at Ji Liao and Lu Zhu, "Zhang Fan, Tiezhu, come with me." ”
"Hmm!" Ji Liao nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Lu Yan. Lu Zhu arched his hand at Lu Yan and said with a smile.
Lu Yan, who was walking in front, heard Lu Zhu call him Brother Lu Yan, and suddenly his body stumbled and almost fell, but he immediately stood up straight again and kicked at random, "Where did the stone come from?" ”
After a while, the two walked to a hut, Lu Yan pushed open the door with his hand, and a ray of sunlight immediately shone into the hut.
Lu Yandang walked in first.
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu followed.
Entering the hut, Ji Liao took a look around and found that the decoration in the house was extremely simple, only two simple stone beds, and some trivial things in life.
Ji Liao frowned, and just wanted to say something, but he heard a bang, but it was Lu Yan who gently closed the door.
Lu Yan walked along the crack in the window, glanced at the people who were busy around the flying boat in the outside world, turned around and whispered to Ji Liao and Lu Zhu.
"Two seniors, there is a passage under your bed that leads to the underground secret room, remember not to be discovered. ”
Ji Liao and Lu Zhu glanced at each other and nodded.
"Uh... This one... This is where you live from now on, you don't have to do any work today, just rest after a long journey, and I'll come back to you tomorrow. Lu Yan said loudly.
"Got it. Ji Liao replied lightly.
"Understood, Lu Yan... Brother!" Lu Zhu raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Lu Yan slightly teasingly, and said.
Lu Yan's face suddenly became bitter, and he silently made a few gestures to Lu Zhu, and then opened the door of the house as if nothing had happened, and walked out.
As soon as Lu Yan went out, he was surrounded by a few curious people, pulled the corner of Lu Yan's clothes and asked, "Brother Lu Yan, Brother Lu Yan, why is the shopkeeper so angry when he comes back this time?"
"Eh, didn't the shopkeeper say it, don't ask if you don't change your question!" Lu Yan replied impatiently to the questioner.
"Eh, Brother Lu Yan, who are these two people?"
"They are the shopkeepers, and they have hired men in Canglan City. Lu Yan looked back and said.
"What about Brother Wang...?"
"Brother Wang, they... In the future, you should ask the shopkeeper. ”
"And what are these two men called? How do I think one of them still has a wound on his body? ”
"The thinner one is called Zhang Fan, and the injured one is called Tiezhu!"
"Iron Pillar....!"
"Hahaha, how could anyone take such a funny name. ”
"Okay, okay, don't ask, I have to go back to sleep, I'm tired!"
"Bang!"
Lu Zhu stepped forward to close the door of the house, looked back at Ji Liao and smiled faintly, "How is Brother Zhang Fan?"
"Brother Tiezhu, don't you snore!" The two arrived safely, and a big stone in Ji Liao's heart was put down, and he made a rare joke.
Lu Zhu rolled his eyes, "That's exactly what I wanted to ask you." ”
After saying that, the two of them really fell asleep on the stone bed.
When night fell, Ji Liao's eyes suddenly opened a slit in his sleep, and a bright light lit up in it.
At the same time, Lu Zhu also opened his eyes and turned over and sat up.
Ji Liao got up and glanced out the window, and found that the courtyard was empty and there was no one behind, so Ji Liao closed the window and turned around and nodded to Lu Zhu.
"Senior Brother Ji, I'll give you the wind!" Lu Zhu said to Ji Liao.
Ji Liao nodded and gently pointed at the stone bed.
The foot-thick board of the bed immediately moved half a minute to one side, and a hole with a ghostly light immediately appeared.
Ji Liao touched his toes lightly, and immediately flew down and fell, and then the bed board was closed again.
This corridor is only a few feet wide, and the walls are polished on both sides of the polish very brightly, and a spar emitting white light is inlaid at a distance on it.
The road meandered downward in a spiral, Ji Liao's eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to explore his divine sense, for fear that he would be felt by people with ulterior motives.
"Da Da Da!"
Ji Liao stepped on the stone steps evenly and walked down slowly.
This road is not long, only about ten zhang look.
It didn't take long for the slope of the road to ease, and a stone gate more than one person high appeared in front of it.
Ji Liao's detective hand gently pushed, the stone door creaked and slowly opened, and a secret room the size of an acre full of bright light appeared in front of Ji Liao's eyes.
Ji Liao stepped in, and saw a black square stone pillar more than two zhang high standing in the center of this secret room, and there were many complicated spiritual patterns carved on the ground around this stone pillar, which seemed to be a formation or something.
Ji Liao glanced around, and there was also a stone pillar standing in each of the four corners of the secret room, but in terms of volume, the four stone pillars were much smaller than the middle one.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the entire chamber.
Ji Liao pointed at the stone gate.
The stone door immediately closed slowly.
Just when the stone gate is closed
The moment it closed, only a trembling sound was heard, and the stone pillar in the center of the secret room trembled suddenly, and a faint light diffused.
Immediately afterwards, the spirit patterns carved on the ground also lit up, and then four golden streamers flew out of it, shooting towards the stone pillars at the four corners of the secret room.
The golden light hit the stone pillar directly, and then the four stone pillars also trembled, and one after another light flew out of it, quickly swimming on the wall of the secret room, and wrapped the entire stone room in a few moments.
Ji Liao's eyes flashed, and he stood in front of the stone pillar with his hands in his hands.
It didn't take long for a flash of light to shine on the stone pillar in front of him, and a line of golden text appeared on the stone pillar from top to bottom.
"You're here?"
Ji Liao's eyes flashed, and he understood with a slight groan that this was a formation to contact Shendong, but it was not clear who the person who was in contact with him was.
"Hmm!"
After a few moments, the words on the stone pillar slowly collapsed, and a new text emerged.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are, your task is to write down the appearance and characteristics of all the foundation building monks of the Fire Bird Sect near Badian City, and tell me here. ”
"Hmm!"
Ji Liao looked at the words that appeared on the stone pillar and hummed again.
"The mission lasts for two years, and once the mission fails, no one will answer you, and the reward after the mission is completed must be clear to you, so I won't go into details. ”
"Understood!" Ji Liao responded.
After a few moments, the light in the chamber vanished, and it reverted to its previous form.
"It's so simple. Ji Liao smiled helplessly.
After speaking, Ji Liao glanced at the secret room again, then opened the stone door and stepped out.
