Zhang Yu looked around, and his heart light expanded outwards, covering the entire courtyard in an instant. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said: "Captain Zhan, go to the northwest corner where there is a white lion."
Search the statue’s workshop.”
Lieutenant Zhan immediately summoned his personal guards and said, "Did you hear that? Go to the workshop over there and let me search it inside and out again. Don't let go of any details or doubts."
The bodyguard clasped his fists and left.
Zhang Yu sensed it again and saw that there was nothing suspicious elsewhere, so he regained his composure and said to Captain Zhan: "We will go there too."
Captain Zhan said: "Zhang Xuanzheng, I wonder what to do with these corpses?"
Zhang Yudao: "Keep it, it should still be useful."
Lieutenant Zhan immediately ordered his personal guards to put away all the bodies of these craftsmen properly, and then the two of them left the inner hall and walked along the corridor to the workshop.
After arriving at the boundary, I saw that the place was surrounded by a group of armored soldiers.
Zhang Yu walked in, surrounded by various creation tools, and there were messy drawings on the table. He glanced at them and saw that they all depicted some strange-looking creation creatures, and some were...
It's somewhat similar to those monster statues outside.
At this time, the former guard came over, cupped his fists and said: "Captain, we found a tunnel in the corner of the back square."
Captain Zhan's expression darkened and he said, "Why didn't you find it just now?"
The guard said: "Report to the captain, there is a supernatural power covering it, it is very hidden, and this time, the captain ordered us to use spiritual power to hit everywhere to test it out."
Zhang Yudao: "This is a small section. Let's first take a look at where this tunnel leads."
Captain Zhan nodded and let the personal guard lead the way.
This workshop is not big, only a hundred steps from front to back. When Zhang Yu and Zhan Xiaowei arrived, they saw a deep underground shaft in the corner of the back workshop.
Colonel Zhan said: "Have you sent someone down to take a look?"
The guard said: "We dare not enter without the commander's order."
Zhang Yuneng sensed that the shaft was very deep, and that there seemed to be a wider space behind it. He thought for a moment and said, "Please wait here, Colonel Zhan, while I go down and take a closer look."
Lieutenant Zhan said solemnly: "Xuanzheng must be careful. A Shuangzhou guard who surrendered to us said that someone had taken care of him and planted a lot of Xuan soldiers around him. These masters and craftsmen are experts in handling these things, and they may also know how to do it."
Leave some means behind."
Zhang Yu nodded and floated down. He went down the shaft for about ten miles and reached the bottom.
In front of him was a closed metal door, which seemed to be sealed. He reached out and pressed it, and the door immediately twisted and deformed, and then opened inwards.
He stepped inside, and what appeared in front of him was a huge underground space. There was a boat parking rooftop in the middle. Several boat racks were now empty, and on the walls on both sides were honeycomb-like glazed cabins. Inside
There must have been something there before, but now it's all empty.
At the very back of the rooftop, there is a wide and long underground tunnel, with three rows of blue guidance lights arranged in a triangular shape still flickering there, extending to the very distance.
His eyes flickered, and after looking for a moment, he saw dozens of people walking past him in a hurry, then boarded a blurry flying boat, and then left along the tunnel from the rooftop.
After retracting his gaze, he immediately transformed into a rainbow light and suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then there was a roaring sound from the tunnel as an object quickly passed through.
This tunnel was extremely long, and Zhang Yu had to fly for a long time before he saw a downward exit. He entered along it, and immediately found that he had entered a body of water, and then floated upwards, finally turning into a tunnel.
The light rushed out and came to the surface of the earth.
He glanced around, but he recognized this place. It was a large lake between the two states. He had passed by it before on the way from Mizhou to Duzhou.
At the lakeside, there was also a squadron of Qingyang Military Mansion stationed there. At this time, these soldiers noticed the movement, and a group of soldiers came over to take a look.
The leader was a camp manager, but he recognized Zhang Yu. He hurriedly came up and clasped his fists, saying: "It turns out to be Zhang Xuanzang. Liu Tong, the camp manager of the Ge camp, has met Xuanzheng."
Zhang Yu nodded in salute and said: "Liu Yingguan, when did you start stationed here?"
Liu Tongdao said: "After I captured Mizhou with the army, I was ordered to garrison here. I have never left since then. Unfortunately, I was unable to participate in the battle to conquer Duzhou." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his tone.
.
Zhang Yudao: "It's been more than a month, then. Liu Yingguan, you have been stationed here. Have you noticed any unusual movements around you recently?
Liu Tong affirmed: "Absolutely not."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment that the flying boat definitely left from the tunnel, and it left not long ago. If the garrison hadn't noticed it, either the flying boat used by this generation was very skilled and there was no movement when it came in and out, or there was another secret.
Place of entry and exit.
But there is another possibility.
He glanced at the wide lake.
Maybe this generation didn't leave at all, but just stayed here.
He immediately let go of his inner light, covering the entire water area in an instant, searching downwards. As the induction continued to extend downwards, he soon made a discovery.
He raised his head and said to Comrade Liu: "Guan Liu, please go and mobilize a team of people."
Liu Tong looked stern. He didn't ask any more questions. He cupped his fists and saluted, saying, "Xuan Zheng, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
At this moment, about five miles below the bottom of the lake, there is a building that looks like a flying boat hidden.
In the metal cabin, several Shuangzhou people who looked like master craftsmen were having a conversation.
"How long do we need to stay here?"
"Duzhou should have fallen now. Those people from Qingyang Military Mansion cannot stay here for too long, but they may send people to stay and monitor. We estimate that we will have to stay here for one or two years to be safe."
"Everyone, if you feel that it is boring here, then go and take a nap. When you wake up, it is almost time for the soldiers of Qingyang Army to leave."
After these Shuangzhou people discussed for a while, they dispersed, went back to their cabins to rest, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The Shuangzhou people live underground all year round and have already adapted to the environment here. With their body structure, they can sleep for three to three days to reduce physical consumption and enter a state of suspended animation.
Five years is no problem.
The only disadvantage is that if you are not exposed to sunlight for a long time, you may develop a kind of photophobia, and it will take a long time to adapt before you can walk on the ground again.
But while they were sleeping deeply, there were waves of rumbling and shaking sounds coming from above.
Everyone was awakened, ran out of their hiding places, and gathered in the hall. They soon realized that the sound was coming from above, and it was clear that the outer layer of the building was suffering an external impact.
Someone asked in a panic: "What's going on? Did the people from Qingyang Military Mansion discover us? Didn't Mr. Chen say that no one here could detect us?"
Someone said in a trembling voice: "It's Dinghu Lake outside. How can you do this? If it is broken open, we will all be drowned..."
While everyone was panicking, a loud noise was heard from above, and a large gap was opened there. Countless metal fragments dispersed and then floated there, but the imagined water flow did not arrive.
Everyone looked up and saw a young Taoist floating above surrounded by jade mist and clouds. Behind him, the vast expanse of lake water was blocked out, as if separated by a layer of glass, preventing any intrusion.
After a while, there was a surge in the water, and then tall metal giants rushed out from there, then jumped down and stood in the hall with a bang, surrounding everyone.
Zhang Yu glanced at everyone and said, "Who is in charge here?"
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, an old man stood up, barely maintaining a calm expression, and raised his hands, saying: "I am the great craftsman Wei Tu, and I can speak for the people here. You should think of me as a young man."
Are you from Yanglai?
We are willing to go with you, but please do not harm the craftsmen and craftsmen here. Each of them has superb skills and has never done anything harmful to nature."
Zhang Yu said calmly: "It has its own rules and regulations to determine whether it has been done or not." He sensed the surroundings and asked again: "Is Master Chen here?"
Wei Tu shook his head and sighed, and said sadly: "Master Chen refuses to go with us. He has already committed suicide by taking poison."
Zhang Yu did not comment, looked at Liu Tong, and ordered: "Liu Yingguan, please take everyone away. These people are very important."
Liu Yingguan clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Henry Zhang, I won't miss one."
At this moment, outside Duzhou Prefecture, Chu Gong came to a place where no one was, and stood still. Then, with a flash of light on his body, Yuanshen Zhaoying flew out.
He came to the wasteland, and something in his hand flickered. After a long time, the same figure appeared in front of him, slapped him, and said: "Fellow Daoist Chu, you called me here urgently, but something has happened."
What’s the variable?”
Chu Gong returned the gift and sighed: "Fellow Taoist, I guessed that my junior brother had a battle with that guy yesterday, but... he was defeated, and it seems that the things cannot be retrieved."
Gongsun Min said: "I have already said that it is better to take action as soon as possible, but the things must be taken back. It seems that we have to find another way."
Chu Gong said: "How are you treating fellow Taoist?"
Gongsun Min said: "I think the war in Duzhou is almost over. It won't take long for this person to return to his base or the continent. This is our only chance."
But Chu Gong shook his head and said: "No, let alone the fact that there are many Xuanxiu guards on his side, even if he is alone, it will be difficult for us to achieve our wish."
Gongsun Min smiled and said: "I know that fellow Taoist is unwilling, but in the current situation, even if fellow Taoist is unwilling to be afraid, it is not possible."
Chu Gongyi frowned, glanced at him a few times, and said displeasedly: "Why, my fellow Taoist, could it be that you want to kidnap me?"
"That's not the case." Gongsun Min smiled and said: "You and I are friends anyway, how could I do such a thing? I just don't want to, I won't force it, it's just..."
He suddenly pointed to a certain place and said: "Fellow Taoist, when you and I meet today, you have already been noticed by those who are interested. Friend Taoist, how should you choose?"
