Chapter 27: Underground Blood Python Zhao Wumian left Zuixianlou and went home as usual. He briefly met with Zhao Qi and Bai Liuli. While the three of them were having dinner in the main room, he left [Bu Ran Chen] behind, changed into new clothes, disguised himself, went down the tunnel in the room, and headed straight for Dinghuai Gate. This was the secret passage that Zhao Qi left for his wife and children when he was the inspector, just in case. It leads all the way to a dry well three blocks away. Zhao Wumian returned home in order to make his spies in the dark think that he was the same as usual and then act secretly. Outside Dinghuai Gate, in the dense forest. Shen Weiyang was fully prepared, looking at the Qinhuai River rushing into the river in front of him, thoughtful. "I have arrived." A strange voice came from behind. Shen Weiyang looked back and saw that the person coming was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a slim black suit and with delicate features.
The Actor's Treasure Book is truly magical... Shen Weiyang couldn't help but look at it twice more. Zhao Wumian thought she didn't understand, so he said "miser" in Persian as a code. Shen Weiyang's face immediately changed, and she said unhappily, "I know!" Then what the hell are you looking at! Zhao Wumian looked around: "Where's the horse? Didn't I ask you to prepare a mount?" Shen Weiyang rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't you say you wanted to do it as fast as possible? I guess you don't want others to know, so, go home and call Ali over. Ali, say hello." A breeze suddenly blew in front of him, and he vaguely took the shape of a raccoon. With four paws on the ground, he raised his head and rubbed the back of Zhao Wumian's hand. Zhao Wumian felt the warm touch and was slightly surprised: "Wind-born beast?" ——"Records of Strange Things in China" records: This wind-born beast looks like a marten, is green in color, and as big as a raccoon. It lives in the forests of the South China Sea. It can survive fire and water without drowning. It can hide in the wind and travel on the wind. Zhao Wumian nodded: "This speed is indeed fast enough. The Shen family is indeed worthy of being the Shen family!" “Isn’t that great~” Shen Weiyang said proudly: "Let's go." "and many more." Zhao Wumian looked at her seriously: "Are you sure you came here by yourself?" Shen Weiyang looked grim: "You don't trust me?" “I trust my instincts more!” Zhao Wumian suddenly made hand seals, his true energy burst out, and he performed the Yin-Yang technique "Five Elements Positioning". In an instant, a huge Yin-Yang formation diagram opened up from under his feet, and the Yin-Yang formation took shape, covering all directions. Shen Weiyang's expression changed slightly. It had only been a few days, and he had actually practiced Yin-Yang magic to such a level! "Five Elements, start the formation!" Zhao Wumian changed the seals on his hands with great skill: "Chain of Thick Earth!"
All things in the world carry Yin and embrace Yang, and they are in harmony with each other. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements have their own changes of generation and restraint. Yin and Yang sorcerers can transform the Five Elements in the array through Yin and Yang magic, borrow the laws of heaven and earth, and unleash powerful magic and powerful moves. "Five Elements Positioning" - Thick Earth Chain is an earth-based attacking move. Within the formation, the majestic earth energy was drawn in, turning from invisible to visible, and condensed into an iron chain that broke out of the ground! There was a person tied up in the iron chain. The man was in his thirties, short and mean-looking. He had been hiding underground using the Earth Escape Technique, but Zhao Wumian had discovered him and knocked him out with one move. He was now covered in dirt and sweat, and hurriedly said, "Ms. Shen, it's me!" Zhao Wumian looked grim, staring at Shen Weiyang: "What do you mean?" "He's not mine!" Shen Weiyang was also angry. She looked at the dwarf coldly, and her anger began to boil: "Gu Changge, did he turn a deaf ear to my words?" The man hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, my master is also kind-hearted and worried that something might happen to you..." Shen Weiyang looked at him coldly, and suddenly smiled: "Does he think that I can't do anything to him because I care about his identity? Even if he knows you are following him, he won't dare to attack you, right?" Although the man was anxious, he did not look too worried, because he had done this kind of thing many times, and Shen Weiyang had never taken it seriously, so he flattered her: "Miss Shen is kind-hearted, so she naturally won't take it seriously with us servants. The young master's admiration for you is evident to all, so why do you keep rejecting me, Miss Shen?" "That's all." Shen Weiyang sighed: "Since he can't understand me, I'll let you take the message back." The dwarf was overjoyed, thinking that she was going to release him again, and immediately said, "I will definitely bring him back!" Shen Weiyang sneered: "You can go back, but you can only go back dead! Ah Li——" At a command, the wind beast raised its claws, and the strong wind gathered at its sharp claws, condensing into wind blades. Murder is coming! The dwarf was horrified and exclaimed: "Miss Shen! You can't kill me! My son is——" Thousands of wind blades whizzed past, and people were cut into pieces! "what!!!" The shrill screams echoed throughout the dense forest! The dwarf was cut into pieces in an instant! The flesh and blood on his body dissipated with the wind, and the strong wind swept up countless blood and flesh, dyeing half of the dead tree behind him red! Zhao Wumian was secretly shocked. This woman is also a tough character. Shen Weiyang took a deep breath and turned to Zhao Wumian: "This person has nothing to do with me. Do you believe it now?" "I'll believe you for the last time." Zhao Wumian said coldly: "If this happens again, you'll be sent to prison!" Shen Weiyang clenched her fists, her face grim. She wanted to vent her anger at being wronged but couldn't. ——Damn Gu Changge! Zhao Wumian said: "Let's go!" "Humph!"
Shen Weiyang snorted and ordered the wind-generating beast to go out, letting the wind and fog carry the two of them towards Langya Mountain in Chuzhou. The speed was so fast that even human figures could not be seen, only strong winds and gloomy fog. Not long after. Two figures appeared in the dense forest, one of whom was Gu Changge. When he saw the bones on the ground and the blood and flesh on the trees, his body shook, his face turned pale, and he held onto a big tree beside him, muttering, "How could you really do that... Do you hate me, Gu Changge, so much?!" "Son." Ma San, the personal attendant beside him, also had an unhappy expression when he saw this scene. He said angrily, "This was done by Feng Sheng Beast! This Shen guy really has no regard for our old friendship! Should we ask the host to come forward and have the Censorate investigate their property and accuse them of colluding with the Japanese, so that they will know the consequences of offending us!" Gu Changge glanced at him. Ma San immediately shut up and lowered his head without saying a word. "madness!" Gu Changge said coldly, "Teacher, you can't do such a thing. Even if I do, it's useless! Not to mention that Shen Wansan is rich enough to rival a country, and there are countless people in the world who have received his favors. Even this capital city was built by him at great expense. If you want to touch him, unless the emperor has the intention, who will have to think twice? Even if this thing succeeds, and the family is confiscated and exterminated, can I get a penny?" "It's my ignorance." Ma San slapped himself hard and whispered, "But she... the young master has repeatedly asked about her well-being over the past year, but she is indifferent. She is so ungrateful!" "It doesn't matter if she hates me." Gu Changge said calmly: "I've been acting for a year, and I'm almost ready." Ma San was surprised: "Young Master, what you mean is..." Gu Changge said calmly: "It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, what can Shen Weiyang do? It's time to ask my uncle to take action." Ma San's eyes lit up: "My Lord, that's a good idea!" …… Langya Mountain is 170 miles away from Nanjing. It only takes half an hour to gallop there on a horse, and the wind-born beast is even faster. When Zhao Wumian and his companion arrived near Mount Langya, it was just getting dark. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can see traces of charring everywhere on Langya Mountain. The once famous Feng Shui treasure land was affected by the war in the late Yuan Dynasty, which resulted in the medicinal gardens of three temples and one village on the mountain being looted by the Yuan army. The temple was destroyed and the village was ruined, and it has not recovered to this day. This was a disaster for Langya Mountain and the sects on the mountain, but it was a good thing for the two people at that time. This means there are fewer eyes to look at, and it’s easier to get the treasure out… The two went straight down the mountain and soon came to a hillside with dense bamboo shade and quiet scenery. Below the hillside is a sparkling lake, crystal clear. There is a lake center bridge on the lake, and a lake center pavilion on the bridge. The roof of the pavilion is covered with golden glazed tiles, and there are glazed bird fences at the hexagonal corners, which is very exquisite and beautiful. Zhao Wumian said: "Let's go through the main entrance." Shen Weiyang had no objection. The main entrance to the underground palace was just under a huge rock on the hillside. She found the mechanism with ease, opened the secret passage, and took Zhao Wumian down to the underground palace. Less than five meters down the steps, she saw a huge dragon-breaking stone standing at the entrance with a square seal in the middle.
Shen Weiyang took out the Coiled Dragon Seal and placed it on the dent. He pressed it down. With a click, the mechanism started, and the Dragon-Breaking Stone rose, revealing the second bronze gate at the rear. On that gate was the painstaking work of the mechanism master, the [Nine Palaces Pulling Lock]. Its shape is like a round plate, on which are engraved the Eight Gates and Nine Stars, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Three Wonders and Six Instruments. It is arranged according to the Qimen Dunjia method, and a single move can affect the entire body. As long as there is external force, the entire lock will rotate by itself at different speeds. The bronze door can only be opened by turning the array disk to the right position at the right time. Shen Weiyang gave up his seat. Zhao Wumian stepped forward, recalling the contents of "Hundred Locks and Thousands of Articles" that he had read in his mind, and began to quickly rotate the array plate. The outer plate had nine stars, the inner plate had eight gates, the upper plate had six instruments, and the lower plate had three wonders... click! With a slight sound, the mechanism returned to its normal position. The entire traction lock split in the middle, and the huge bronze door slowly opened. Behind the door is a long corridor with an oil lamp every few steps, burning "mermaid cream" that is said to last for a thousand years. On both sides of the corridor are secret rooms made of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin. Shen Weiyang's eyes lit up, and he said, "The secret record says that the gold room contains gold, silver, and various jewels, the silver room contains rare and precious poisons, the copper room contains magic weapons, the iron room is covered with black ice, which contains natural treasures, and the tin room contains martial arts secrets. Why not..." Zhao Wumian sneered: "Do you think Hu Weiyong will leave it to you?" "..." The smile on Shen Weiyang's face froze for a moment. Zhao Wumian said: "What did Hu Weiyong rely on to make so many Yipintang masters loyal to him? His own salary? You should know how much the Ming officials' salaries are. Relying only on the officials' filial piety can't support those warriors, let alone make them work hard! There should be treasures in this underground palace to make a comeback, but it can't be here at the entrance. It's probably placed together with the secret manuals and treasures. There's no need to waste time here!" Shen Weiyang knew that what he said was right and sighed secretly. She has no shortage of treasure, but she loves to look for it. For her, this is more interesting than making money from money. Zhao Wumian looked at the corridor and said seriously, "From now on, you have to follow me closely. This underground palace is full of traps. A hundred steps ahead is the famous "Indeterminate Flying Wheel Array" of the Sakya Sect. Turning left, there are firearms from the Thunderbolt Hall and poisons from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed! If you trigger the array, don't expect me to save you!" "..." Shen Weiyang gritted her teeth, feeling angry and helpless: "I've already told you that he's not mine, and I killed him myself, why do you still have this attitude?" "That's the attitude. Follow it if you want or not!" After Zhao Wumian finished speaking, he performed the "Jinghong Treading Snow Step" and rushed out. Miser! Small-minded! Shen Weiyang stamped his feet in anger and quickly used his skills to catch up. The map of the entire underground palace is in Zhao Wumian’s mind. Jiang Huan was right. Mao Xiang had indeed done his best. All the organs that had been interrogated were flawless, including the second to last important organ, the "Twenty-Eight Constellations Stone Array". This formation is set up in the cave at the rear of the underground palace, drawing the geomantic energy of the entire Langya Mountain and merging it with twenty-eight small stone mountains. It is driven by the earth's vital energy. These twenty-eight stone mountains represent the twenty-eight constellations. Like the Nine Palaces Lock, the whole is arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, with countless changes, and it is difficult to break through. Anyone who enters the formation will be trapped in it, surrounded by the stone mountains, and at best lose their way, or at worst lose their life. If you don’t know the correct route, it will be impossible to move forward.
But there was no way to stop Zhao Wumian now, so he displayed his skills and entered the formation! In an instant, the formation was activated, a strong wind blew, sand and rocks flew, covering the sky and the earth. Twenty-eight small stone mountains began to move rapidly. There were rugged rocks in the formation with formation patterns engraved on them. They sparkled as the formation was running and the earth's energy was infused into them. The stone pillars seemed to come alive, moving faster and slower, left and right. The formation between the stone pillars kept changing, sometimes forming a two-yin and a three-talent formation, sometimes a four-image formation, and sometimes a five-element formation. Before one formation was broken, a new formation was formed. In addition, sand and dust were everywhere, and clouds rose, blocking the view. When you were in the formation, you would feel dizzy and unable to see your fingers when you stretched out your hand. How can we break the formation if we can’t even determine the direction? Shen Weiyang saw the danger, her heart pounding, and she looked at Zhao Wumian's figure more seriously. "It is indeed a good formation..." Zhao Wumian secretly praised in his heart, glanced at Shen Weiyang behind him, and said: "Close your eyes, don't look at the stones, and don't look at me. These stone mountains are real and fake. I will teach you the formula. Qian three, Gen four, Li six, Kan five..." Shen Weiyang felt slightly comforted, and finally said something sensible, slowly closed his eyes, and stepped forward as he was told. The two ignored the menacing rocks and began to follow the footwork, moving forward and backward, left and right. He walked more than two hundred steps in one breath and opened his eyes again. He had already walked out of the rock formation. There was dazzling golden light in front of him. The door of the last secret room was open, and a brilliant light was already shining out before people entered. Through the door, one can see four large boxes of gold, silver and treasures inside. On top of the treasure chests there are two secret books and a mirror. Everything is propped up on a shelf with the front facing the door so that people can see it at a glance. ——"Tian Gang Yi Qi". ——"Heaven and Earth Are Our Soldiers". ——【Tianshi Mirror】. With the secret manuals of magical skills and magical weapons right before their eyes, the two men inevitably felt shaken. At that moment. The light from the mirror was dazzling, and both of them had many illusions in their minds at the same time, and they froze in place! at the same time. Behind these treasure secrets, a giant snake statue quietly revived and turned back into its original form, a blood python. A blood-red giant snake as thick as a bucket flew out of the statue silently, three feet off the ground, suspended in the air. Taking advantage of the moment when the two were immersed in the illusion, it turned into blood-red lightning, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on them... (End of this chapter)
