Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1587 Mysterious Palace
  Mirage, underground crypt.

Shi Lan and Shao Yu continued to move forward in the dark, following the light.

They both wondered why there was such a strange area in the mirage, like a bottomless cave with no end.

At this time, Shi Lan discovered a strange red light.

She seemed to have thought of something. She reached out and patted Shao Yu twice to signal him not to move. Then she approached the light spot and raised her hand to touch it.

Immediately there was a tingling sensation on her fingers, and Shi Lan retracted her palm, only to see a touch of red appear on her fingertips in the dim light.

That's her blood.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of hazy red light appeared above the blood. The light condensed into a cocoon in an instant, and then the cocoon broke out.

A huge butterfly composed purely of warm red light fluttered its wings on Shilan's fingertips.

Shao Yu, who could no longer see anything, suddenly noticed that a blurry red outline appeared in his pitch-black field of vision, and then gradually became clearer.

"Shi Lan, I suddenly saw a flash of red light. It was... a butterfly!"

Hearing this, Shi Lan turned her head to look at Shao Yu in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "Shao Yu, can you see it!?"

"I can see it, but it's not very clear." Shao Yu nodded and confirmed again.

Shi Lan felt a little relieved after confirming this, and said with joy in her tone, "This is the mysterious butterfly shadow of Shushan, a kind of witchcraft, generally used for communication."

"The fact that you can see this butterfly means that you are not really blind. There is a high probability that it can be cured!"

When Shao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy on his face.

Who wants to be blind if they can?

He spoke very lightly when he comforted Shi Lan before, but only he knew how much pressure he was feeling.

However, he still pretended to be relaxed and replied nonchalantly, "Haha, I just told you that it's okay. Miss Rong will definitely take care of it when we get back."

Then he immediately brought the topic to the missing butterfly shadow:

"Since it is your witchcraft from Shushan, it should be left by your brother."

Hearing this, Shi Lan also temporarily ignored the matter of Shao Yu's eyes - no matter how much attention he paid to it, neither of them had the conditions to treat it now, and it would be useless to talk more.

As for Shao Yu's views, she obviously agreed, nodded and said:
  "He should have left it behind, probably to remind me."

At this time, the red butterfly flapped its wings and flew up, stopping on a stone wall not far ahead.

Shi Lan pulled Shao Yu over and took a closer look, only to find that there was a delicate short knife with a special shape inserted there.

Shi Lan recognized the knife at a glance - it was the weapon his brother usually used.

Reaching out to pull out the short knife, Shi Lan gently stroked the pattern on it and put it away, "Brother's knife... It seems that it is indeed the signal he left behind."

Shao Yu nodded and said, "Since he deliberately left a signal here, there must be some important secret hidden in this place, and it is right ahead."

"Let's keep walking."

The two continued to move forward, and this time there was a fiery red butterfly flying in the air to guide them.

Not far behind, Shi Lan saw a circle of dazzling white light—that should be the source of the light and the location of the exit.

Of course, going out may not necessarily be a good place.

But neither of them had a choice.

Pulling the blind Shao Yu, the two walked through the light source together and left the dark and deep cave area.

After leaving the dark crypt, the two came to a new area - a bigger cave!     It should be regarded as a cave.

At first glance, it looks vast, but you can also feel the huge empty space that exists at the edges.

Most of the place below was shrouded in thick fog, and it seemed to be an abyss and empty valley. The only thing they could really walk on was a rugged stone road directly in front of them.

Above the zenith, there seemed to be a body of water, with sparkling water and a clear reflection of the area below. A deep blue light was reflected through the water layer, as if the sea level before dawn illuminated the entire area below. Big hollow.

From this point of view, the upper level here is probably an area with water somewhere on the mirage.

But Shi Lan didn't know that there was water in those places on the mirage.

What attracted the most attention in the entire area was the end point that the road under their feet led to - a majestic, majestic, huge azure palace in the center.

I don’t know if the building is originally blue, or if it is reflected blue by the water light from the upper level.

The entire palace is supported by dozens of huge pillars and stands in the center. The whole palace is square and square. The top floor is a tower-like building, and the highest point of the roof points directly to the water surface of the sky.

Seeing this astonishing sight, Shi Lan was so horrified that she was speechless for a moment.

Although this palace looks gorgeous and spectacular, its level is actually just that. It can be considered a lower-middle level at best in Xianyang.

However, here, on the mirage, in the bottom cabin area of ​​a ship, it is incredible that a huge palace can be seen.

Shi Lan never expected that she would see such a scene, so she was naturally surprised.

Shao Yu tugged on Shi Lan's clothes at this time, "Shi Lan, what's here? I only saw a hazy blue light."

"Palace! A strange palace!" Shi Lan replied with amazement.

Shao Yu frowned and continued to ask, "Palace? Are we leaving below and going to the deck?"

"No, it's still down there. The palace is down there."

"Ah?" Shao Yu was a little confused, unable to imagine how there could be a palace here.

But he soon felt relieved.

It's just a mirage, it's just weird, otherwise it would be a waste of manpower and material resources in the past ten years.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It seems that there is really a big secret hidden here."

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Shi Lan also agreed with Shao Yu's idea and responded, "Yeah."

At this time, a third voice sounded, interrupting the two people's plan:

"There are indeed secrets there, but I don't recommend you to move forward."

"Who!?" Shaoyu immediately looked around, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything and could only question.

However, this voice felt familiar to him. It should be someone he had met before.

Shi Lan looked at the third person who suddenly appeared not far in front of him. His reaction was not as big as that of Shao Yu. He just said two words in surprise:
  "It's you?"

Gu Xun looked at Shi Lan, smiled and said, "Yes, it's me."

Hearing Gu Xun speak again, Shao Yu finally remembered whose voice it was. His eyes, which were still covered by blood, widened. He subconsciously wanted to blurt out his name, but in the end he held back in time and didn't speak. He stretched out his hand to try to block Shi Lan behind him.

Shao Yu was not completely hostile towards Gu Xun, but he was still on guard - even though he knew that his guarding was of no use.

Gu Xun glanced sideways at Shao Yu, who looked a little miserable now, and said jokingly:
  "The new image is quite unique."
