The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 196 Alive
Qinglong opened his eyes, making the tattoo on Chen Anbang's back more lifelike, making him look awe-inspiring at this time, and I couldn't help but think of the endless legends he left for Taoism as a strange hero.

Thanks to him arriving in time today, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to deal with the challenge of the moon-watching eel.

He smiled at me from a distance, waved his hand, and I raised my hand in response.

And as the eel king Hualong's dragon soul was sealed into Chen Anbang's tattoo, the corpse fell into the mud, and those eels who divided up the human corpses were leaderless, and immediately became helpless.

They abandoned those human corpses, discarded their helmets and armor, and fled in a hurry.

At this moment, Chen Anbang swam to my side and said, "Dengtang, you have the blueprint of the underground river. Let's open those organs together and divert the water here into the underground river."

I nodded, and we split up.

Although this is my first time going down the well, the organs hidden at the bottom of the well are all related to the distribution of the five elements and eight trigrams of the heavenly stems and earthly branches. In addition, I have the specific blueprint.

I went to different locations underwater, pushed through the mud, found those organs, and opened them one by one according to the description on the blueprint.

And Chen Anbang, as the repairer of this underground river, is much more skilled than me, and soon opened most of the mechanisms with ease.

When the two of us joined hands to turn on all the organs, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the bottom of the water, as well as the creaking sound of mechanical rotation.

Accompanied by these sounds, the bottom of the river began to crack, and the riverbed began to collapse and sink.

At this time, there seems to be a huge machine running under the feet, constantly laying complicated underground rivers.

And with the laying of the river, the water level is also constantly falling.

Chen Anbang and I floated to the surface of the water, and slowly sank together with everyone.

When we stepped into the bottom of the river again, the place has completely changed.

A series of dry rivers appeared in front of my eyes, criss-crossing and patchwork. The original river water had been led deeper underground along these rivers, and my feet seemed to be a maze.

Although these rivers look a little rough and covered with silt and moss, I was still deeply shocked.

It is worthy of the Luban religion who is the pinnacle of architecture. Even in the underdeveloped ancient times, they were able to use mechanism techniques to build such an exquisite river channel under the water.

Qin Hongli and the other contestants were also overwhelmed by the scene in front of them, their eyes widened in disbelief, unable to believe that the water was still surging just now, but now it has become a river for pedestrians.

"This, did you discover this?" Qin Hongli asked me in surprise.

I replied: "It was a coincidence, and it was a coincidence. I don't know which way is correct. If I believe it, I will follow it. If I don't believe it, I will follow the other way. Let's go our own way."

After speaking, I took the initiative to set foot on one of the rivers.

And those contestants, without exception, followed closely behind. Although I didn't say anything, I have become their beacon in my heart.

We moved forward all the way, and I found an opportunity to quietly come to Chen Anbang's side.

I asked him softly: "Anbang, making such a big noise underwater this time, and discovering this secret passage leading to the ancient underground city so quickly, will it arouse Lu San's suspicion? We were originally in the dark, and if he suspected it, we were standing in the light."

Chen Anbang said directly: "Do you think an old fox like Lu San can really trust you? Really regard you as his disciple?"

I looked at him puzzled, but he continued: "Lu San knows about Sun Jiuli's existence. He has also seen the human skin I asked him to keep. He is acting for you. He actually knows that you are from the Zhao family."

My heart palpitated for a while, but Chen Anbang said again: "Don't be nervous, he tried his best to lure you into the game, which shows that you are very important to him. You two are a game with each other, you both want to use the other as a chess piece, and you both think that the other is the prey and you are the hunter."

"Lu San thinks he is the real chess player, but he doesn't know that your grandfather Zhao Wuji is the real chess player. Lu San has a lot of calculations, and it can't be said that Zhao Wuji secretly inserted me by your side."

I breathed a sigh of relief, what Chen Anbang said made sense.

I am Mingqi, while Chen Anbang is dark chess.

Anyway, Gongshuqi is also Lu San's senior, with him around, he will be much safer.

We went all the way without encountering any danger.

After walking like this for about an hour, three corpses suddenly appeared not far away.

When the contestants saw this scene, they waited for it one by one.

On the contrary, I was relieved, this is the corpse of the master of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Originally, there should be a big tripod here, but it has been presented to Maoshan by Gongshuqi.

And seeing these three corpses shows that we are on the right path, and we are not far from the underground dragon raising city.

But at this moment, Chen Anbang suddenly said to me: "Dengtang, something is wrong, these three people are still alive."
