Chapter 222 is cool for a while and cool for a long time, deep in the secret palace
In the night, outside Xianyang City, two people were hiding behind a huge rock, overlooking the continuous Qin army camp.
"What do the Qin people want to do by dispatching so many Qin troops into Xianyang?"
The city center asked about the river behind the river.
Both of them wore black shirts, with cuffs and trousers tightly wrapped around them to facilitate movement.
They flew with swords from a high altitude all the way. After approaching Xianyang, they became cautious and did not rush into the city with swords.
In today's Xianyang City, in the eyes of those who are good at observing Qi, in addition to the purple Qi of Xianyang Palace in the center of the city, there is also an aura, which is emitted by the five-needle pine.
The vitality of heaven and earth that permeated the place where it was located spread to almost the entire Xianyang.
Even though the city leader was proud of his cultivation, seeing the weather in Xianyang from a distance, he still chose to drop the flying sword outside the city and be cautious.
Coinciding with the mobilization of the Qin army, soldiers and horses from all walks of life came to Xianyang one after another.
From their position, they could clearly see the Qin army's continuous camps and the Ministry of Construction surrounding the core of the camps.
The huge furnace in the courtyard of the Ministry of Materials and Materials is still smelting many creations late at night, and the flames are blazing and red.
The city center observed for a moment and said to the river behind the river: "This should be a place where the Qin people built things. It was quite prosperous. In a short time, there were no less than a hundred people coming in and out.
The gathering of the Qin army may be related to something that happened in this courtyard."
Jiang Houxi nodded in agreement: "Chengyang, Master, the time limit for me to go out to do business is one month, and I must return to the sect by then.
It's half time now.
Xianyang, you have also seen that the people of Qin have been blessed with the luck of heaven and earth, and the purple energy is so powerful that it is not easy. If you cause trouble, you should know how severe the punishment of the sect is!"
Chengyang chuckled: "Sister, don't worry. I just want to come and see how the people of Qin are doing."
After he spoke, he became serious for a moment, and a faint light flashed between his eyebrows, as if a third eye appeared. A sword pill fell off from his eyebrows, stretched out, and turned into an earthy yellow flying sword.
The sword struck the ground, and the waves of earth parted sideways. The center of the city immediately jumped into the ground and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Houxi hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the waves.
In the blink of an eye, somewhere in Xianyang City, two people quietly jumped out of the ground and appeared in an alley behind a secluded alley.
Its location is not far from Xianyang Palace.
The center of the city checked to make sure there was no one around, and then took action.
The flying sword in front of him suddenly turned into nothingness, and finally disappeared completely without a trace or any breath left.
Jiang Houxi's face had a slightly strange look on his face, and he said in surprise: "So you have learned the ancient sword-killing technique. No wonder you are so confident that you dare to say that you can kill the King of Qin."
Chengyang said proudly: "Senior sister, do you think I only know how to mess around and don't understand the importance of things?
How do you feel now?"
Jiang Houxi cautiously released his spiritual consciousness, always paying attention to the movements around him, and responded: "Junior brother is indeed a genius, and I am not as talented as junior brother in cultivation."
However, it is said that the Hidden Sword Immortal Killing Technique is one of the five sword techniques that has been passed down for the longest time and is the most difficult to practice.
The so-called Hidden Sword is specially used for assassination. It can hide all auras and blend with the void. Its cultivation process is difficult, but once it is completed, it can use the characteristics of hiding the void to assassinate strong people across levels.
According to legend, the hidden sword technique has even killed immortals and demons.
This swordsmanship can fly a sword to take a person's head, and it can come and go without a trace.
It was precisely because he had mastered the hidden sword immortal killing technique that the city leader boasted that he could enter Xianyang and kill the Lord of Qin.
When Jiang Houxi saw him practicing this swordsmanship, even though he was just getting started, he couldn't help but change his previous judgment and agreed that Cheng Yang was indeed qualified to assassinate Zhao Huaizhong.
"I know that my plan to intercept the teachings will be useful to the people of Qin. I will not kill the King of Qin, but I will teach him a lesson."
Chengyang made a seal and derived a water magic spell out of thin air, and then relied on the connection between his spiritual thoughts and the flying sword to reflect the void with water magic, revealing the location of the Hidden Killing Sword.
Jiang Houxi looked at the magical image manifested in the center of the city, and saw that the hidden killing sword broke through the air and entered the Qin Palace silently.
The sword light followed the direction of the richest purple aura, and passed through the halls of the Qin Palace to transfer ownership, and soon found the Lord of Qin who was still handling official duties in the Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Huaizhong was looking at a secret map, seemingly unaware of the sneaking approach of the Hidden Killing Sword.
What he was looking at was the secret map of the internal and external structures of the Yin and Shang secret palaces obtained after the death of Zhao.
The image of the center of the city reflected in water became a little blurry.
Especially after Hidden Killing Sword tried to get closer to Zhao Huaizhong, the mirror image of the magic power became more and more hazy, and it seemed that it might dissipate at any time.
Chengyang laughed and said: "You do have some skills. The scattered energy can actually affect the void and prevent all dangers from getting close. It's a pity that I encountered the hidden sword technique that I teach."
In the image reflected by the water technique, the Hidden Killing Sword quietly approached Zhao Huaizhong a few feet away.
Behind Zhao Huaizhong, who was paying attention to the secret map, there were two people standing, one was Yu Gui and the other was Xin Wu.
"If I control the sword at this moment and suddenly come out, I can chop off King Qin's head with one blow and kill him in a matter of seconds." Cheng Yang said in a low voice.
Inside Xianyang Palace, study room.
Did Zhao Huaizhong notice the approaching flying sword?
He had already discovered something.
After all, normal practitioners may not be able to feel the hidden sword blending into the void, but one of the characteristics of Zhao Huaizhong's gua is the blessing of the five senses.
No matter how carefully the sword was hidden, its aura was not revealed at all. Zhao Huaizhong could not help but see the sword's incoming force clearly just by relying on his eyesight.
Even before the sword entered Xianyang Palace and the owner of the sword broke into Xianyang, he was aware of it.
The sword becomes invisible, but its owner does not.
The two sneaked into Xianyang secretly and concealed their whereabouts. Later, they controlled the sword and sneaked into Xianyang Palace. It was only Zhao Huaizhong who suppressed the fluctuation of the national weapon that allowed the sword to enter the palace smoothly.
Through perception, Zhao Huaizhong has determined that the other party is the force hiding in the dark, that is, the person who intercepted the teaching.
What he is thinking about is what to do next.
There are two options, one is to kill the person now, push the opponent flat, and show off for a short time, which is fun for a while.
Or arrest these two people for interrogation, but it is likely to alert the enemy and make the person behind the scenes alert.
Another way is to pretend not to know, go with the flow, dig deep into the story behind Jie Jiao, and then uproot them, which can be fun for a long time.
Zhao Huaizhong's thoughts were overturned in an instant, and several plans alternated in his mind.
The two choices just made were not to his liking.
At the same time, in the dark alleys in the city, Cheng Yang raised his lips and decided to control the hidden killing sword to leave some traces for Zhao Huaizhong.
However, the moment he decided to take action, Zhao Huaizhong suddenly looked up in the picture that appeared.
There was a strange light in his eyes.
Chengyang was startled, and the water magic scene in front of him was instantly shattered.
Chengyang was greatly surprised and felt a pain between his brows.
Jiang Houxi asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"
"Then King Qin actually discovered the Hidden Killing Sword..."
The center of the city was shocked when they saw a flash of sword light in the void, and the hidden killing sword returned, but the light was dim and a crack appeared on the sword's spine.
The Hidden Killing Sword was immediately taken back by Cheng Yang, who breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go."
The next moment, he and Jiang Houxi escaped into the ground through the air and disappeared suddenly.
Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Huaizhong thought: How can he hide when he sees Jiejiao this time?
In his perception, the two small fish that intercepted the teachings had already run all the way out of Xianyang and disappeared quickly.
Zhao Huaizhong withdrew his senses and took out the bone mirror.
A scene of fire on earth and a cave in the sky appeared in the mirror.
The perspective of Baiyao, Ji Xian and others appears in the bone mirror.
They did not directly enter the Yin Shang Secret Palace.
From the Department of Building Materials of the Great Qin Dynasty, Zou Yan's disciples Ye Qi, Yue Qing, hundreds of Mohist disciples, and people from ancient clans such as Ji Xian.
Everyone gathered and were exploring outside the Yin Shang Secret Palace.
Someone used magic power to rub out the many symbols on the surface of the secret palace, the secret texts engraved on the altar, and other things one by one.
Ji Mo and others took out a series of immortal binding ropes refined with the secret techniques of Mohism, and tied up some of the relief bronze beasts on the outer wall of the secret palace.
Hundreds of craftsmen circled the secret palace of Yin and Shang, working carefully and busily.
The way they are busy is to follow the Yin Shang secret map that Zhao Huaizhong just checked, so they have not yet triggered the secret palace ban and been attacked.
After all the arrangements were made, Baiyao, Ji Xian, and the generals from Ye Yufu, together with Ji Mo and others, officially entered the Yin Shang Secret Palace.
Starting from the arrival of the Secret Palace, outside the palace, the huge door made of bronze will open on its own.
Behind the door is a dark corridor that leads directly to the depths of the secret palace.
After all, they were in the territory of Da Qin, and with thousands of troops at their back, Baiyao and others entered quite calmly and quickly disappeared into the secret palace.
"Your Majesty, the secret palace is rare, and I would like to see it." Yu Gui asked.
Zhao Huaizhong agreed, and when Yu Gui left, he also returned to Wuying Hall.
Although the secret palace is born, the internal and external restrictions change every time.
But its internal layers shrink, and the structure closer to the middle and closer to the core area will not change.
The labyrinth has existed for nearly a thousand years and has been explored by countless practitioners. The changes in the outer layers have actually been summarized into certain rules.
Coupled with the secret map obtained from Zhao Ren, the difficulty of the first few levels is not great for Baiyao and others.
They advanced very quickly, breaking through the restrictions along the way and constantly approaching the core area of the secret palace.
A few hours later, they entered the fourth level.
The next day, early morning.
Zhao Huaizhong went to attend the court meeting, and then went to the study to deal with various memorials. In the afternoon, he opened the bone mirror again.
The picture in the mirror shows that Baiyao, Yu Gui, who arrived later, and many saints have advanced to the seventh floor.
The last time the Secret Palace was born, the teams of Qi and Chu combined, and finally stopped at the seventh level.
Baiyao and others were standing at the entrance between the seventh and eighth floors of the Death Palace.
Ahead is a corridor paved entirely with bronze. It is so dark that it seems to be able to swallow light.
Standing at the entrance, with all my eyesight, I could only see the two sides of the corridor, which seemed to be guarded by many forged bronze beasts, with a gloomy aura that appeared and disappeared.
For thousands of years, almost no one has entered the eighth floor of the secret palace.
In the secret palace, the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.
Ji Xian wanted to give in and retreat, secretly thinking that since we are the patriarch of the Ji family, there is no reason to lead others to the front.
He looked into the bone mirror and said: "King Qin, I felt a chilling breath of death from the eighth floor of the Death Palace in this secret palace.
In my opinion, we cannot continue moving forward. We have taken away everything on the first seven floors, and the harvest is already considerable."
"This is a rare opportunity. The eighth floor is the real core of the secret palace. Let's go in and take a look." Zhao Huaizhong rushed to the shelf and said.
Ji Xian sighed secretly and said bravely, "Okay then."
He waved his hand, and the Ji family behind him immediately took out a treasure and handed it to him.
While he was talking to Zhao Huaizhong, Baiyao and Yu Gui, surrounded by Mu Qingkong, an 'archaeological' expert from Ye Yufu, and Ji Mo, a giant of the Mohist family, had officially entered the bronze corridor of the Secret Palace of Death.
