A group of guards wearing armor walked slowly past the high vermilion wall with neat steps.
Only after the guard walked away did a sneaky shadow poke its head out from the corner.
"Fortunately, I have the Life Eye Qimen."
Xu Tong blinked, secretly glad that although his prop card was sealed and even his physical power was suppressed, the Life Eye Qimen was not affected.
With the help of the Mingyan Qimen, Xu Tong could even detect the guards coming towards him in advance.
The luck of these guards is very unique. They are enveloped in a gray-white aura, as if they are closely connected to the secluded mountain at their feet.
But it is not difficult to understand. As the imperial guards in the Imperial Palace, their fate is naturally to coexist with this secluded mountain.
As for whether these guards were suppressed in strength like himself, Xu Tong didn't know, but he was keenly aware that the aura of these guards seemed to only have a range of about fifteen meters.
Theoretically, that is to say, as long as you don't get close to this range, you may not have no chance of being careful.
This is just a theory. Xu Tong has no idea whether it is really the case.
All I can say is that if there is a chance, I would like to try it.
What if it succeeds??
It has to be said that Xu Tong is really bold, but he is by no means reckless. At present, all the ghosts and gods in the Underworld are staring at Lilith in the front hall, including the supreme Lord of the Underworld.
Who would care about this little mouse like me?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he misses this opportunity, Xu Tong really can't think of any other way to climb to the top of Youshan Mountain under the eyes of the Lord.
"I hope Lilith's tribute is enough to attract the eyes."
Xu Tong prayed secretly and then walked carefully along the wall.
It is strange to say that this Emperor's Forbidden Palace is known as a forbidden place where gods and gods dare not set foot, but there are no restrictions at all inside.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.
What kind of prohibition trap is really meaningless to an eternal otaku like the Emperor.
Just like a homebody who never worries that his home will be noticed by thieves.
Especially if this otaku is still the national Sanda champion, maybe he will look forward to this kind of thief.
Regardless of whether the emperor expected Xu Tong to be a thief, the lack of restrictions saved him a lot of trouble.
As he carefully avoided the guards along the way, Xu Tong soon discovered an embarrassing problem for him.
I seem to be lost.
Although he was walking towards the top of the mountain, the twists and turns of the forbidden palace made him go further and further away. Just when Xu Tong wanted to retreat and change his route to another route.
When I turned around, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. I didn't know when a guard was walking towards me behind me.
Seeing this, Xu Tong could only give up the idea of changing the route, turned around and continued walking along the corridor, but before walking far, he saw a gray aura in front of him heading towards him.
"Why do you still have one?"
Xu Tong's heart sank slightly, and he found that there was no hiding place on either side. There were towering palace walls beside him, but Xu Tong did not dare to climb up.
Although it was his first time here, it was not the first time he had entered the palace in the script world.
There might be a hidden whistle on the roof of this building, so I only dared to show my head, fearing that I would be exposed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the march was getting closer and closer, the expression on Xu Tong's face gradually became serious...
"Da da da da..."
The sound of neat footsteps was getting closer and closer. Two guards came one after the other, holding spears and spears as they passed each other. Step by step, they got further and further away. Only after leaving this corridor did Xu Tong heave a sigh of relief.
"so close!"
He looked down at the dog holes at his feet. There was more than one, and there was another dog hole on the left. These dog holes were not big, but they were just big enough for an adult to get out.
However, compared to the dog he saw when he went up the mountain before, Xu Tong suspected that this might be the hole dug by the dog when it was relatively young.
Didn’t the fat monk also say that the dog was raised by the emperor alone?
It's just that in this way, I seem to be a little lost.
Going back is probably not a good choice. After all, the guards have not gone very far, and you may still be caught if you go back.
I simply keep walking along the dog hole and go wherever I can, but if it doesn't work, I can only resign myself to fate.
At the moment, Xu Tong could only search for dog holes all over the place, and drill into holes when he saw them. Although he was embarrassed, he found that drilling into dog holes did have advantages. The distance was almost shortened by half, and he was getting closer and closer to the top of Youshan Mountain.
When Xu Tong climbed out of a hole, he looked up and saw an octagonal tower in front of him.
The tower looks a bit like a miniature version of heaven, with a total of three floors and a bell hanging from each of the eight corners.
"Yushu Zhai."
Looking at the inscription on the plaque, Xu Tong didn't know where it was, but behind the building, he could see a stone staircase leading to the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, Xu Tong's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to continue walking up the mountain, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
When Mingyan Qimen opened his eyes, he found that the surroundings were full of guards. Seeing this, Xu Tong frowned and didn't care much. He quickly walked to the door of the building, stretched out his hand and pushed it. He saw that the door of the building was unlocked.
He just crept in quietly.
After a while, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door, as if all the guards' routes would eventually converge here.
Six or seven groups of imperial guards met in front of the building gate, rearranged their routes, and then gradually dispersed.
Fortunately, these guards never approached the pavilion and did not find Xu Tong hiding in it. Otherwise, they would have been unable to fly.
After the guards left, Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and then turned around to look at the building.
Xu Tong was also secretly surprised at this look. The building looked like it had three floors. But when he came in, he realized that what he saw outside was all an illusion. This building didn't have three floors at all. You could see the dome at a glance.
There is a staircase on the left.
It's just that this staircase doesn't go up, but down.
"Is it the basement??"
Xu Tong walked to the stairs and looked down, only to see a dark place inside. Even with Xu Tong's dark vision and the Qimen's Life Eye, he couldn't see clearly what was underneath.
But the more this happened, the more curious Xu Tong became.
Although I don’t know what is underneath, a building has to be built outside to cover this entrance. There is no way it contains any shocking secrets.
Didn't I happen to have a mission, which was to explore one of the thirteen palaces? Although I didn't know if it counted here, I still said the same thing.
You're already here, it would be rude if you didn't go down and take a look.
When he thought of this, Xu Tong walked down on tiptoes.
But at this moment, outside the Emperor's Forbidden Palace.
Gao Zhuo and the other three were also walking down.
They were just walking down the mountain. They followed the fat monk all the way down the mountain until they were halfway up the mountain.
This place is already far away from the Forbidden Palace of the Great Emperor.
Walking further down, you will find the inn [Bailu Pavilion].
"Come this way!"
The fat monk looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he pulled Gao Zhuo and the others into the bushes nearby.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I felt a stench filling the surrounding air, and the surrounding woods and flowers were extremely lush.
As soon as they passed through the forest, their eyes suddenly opened up. Gao Zhuo took a look and realized that they were halfway up the mountain.
The fat monk continued to walk forward until he came to the edge of the cliff in front of him, then he stopped. Looking at the bottomless cliff in front of him, Gao Zhuo couldn't help but look down for a while, and then looked back at the fat monk.
"Master, what did you bring us here for?"
Gao Zhuo looked around and felt a little nervous. This place was very hidden. If anyone wanted to kill anyone here, it would be a good place.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has accepted the Venerable's money, so he must repay the Venerable's cause and effect. Therefore, I brought you here just to have a great opportunity with you."
As soon as they heard about the opportunity, the three of them immediately became energetic.
“What is the opportunity??”
Gu Xibai knew very well that for things like opportunities, the more the better, especially for a pure martial arts path like his. Without the blessing of opportunities, it would be useless to practice hard until the end of the year of the monkey.
The fat monk just smiled indifferently when he heard this, with an enigmatic expression that made it impossible to figure out what he was thinking. He only said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."
After that, he pointed at the abyss in front of him: "Although this opportunity is good, I don't know if you have the courage to take it!"
When the three of them saw the fat monk pointing his finger into the abyss, they were startled and couldn't help but hesitate.
This cliff is so deep that the fat monk wants them to jump off.
If they were to jump down, even though they were quite powerful, they didn't have the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground. Life or death would be hard to say.
While the three of them were hesitating, Chang Wuju sneered: "I thought it was something, but that's it!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai to come to their senses, they quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and said to the fat monk: "I have nothing but the courage of a leopard, so I'll go!"
As soon as the voice fell, Chang Wuju jumped up, flipped twice in the air, then spread his arms and jumped off the cliff with an extremely graceful posture.
It would be a pity not to participate in diving.
"hiss"
The two of them were immediately shocked when they saw this. Unexpectedly, Chang Wuzhen jumped as fast as he asked without hesitation at all.
Gao Zhuo walked quickly to the edge of the cliff, looked at Chang Wuzhen's figure disappearing into the darkness, and couldn't help but whisper to himself:
"No wonder the boss often says that this guy is not a good person. He is indeed a ruthless person."
After finishing speaking, Gao Zhuo turned back to look at the fat monk. As a result, he saw that the fat monk had a strange face. He pointed to the thick tree vines at his feet and said, "I mean, you can climb down from here."
