Repugnant Gateway

An Zheng didn't understand the meaning of Li Zhongming's words at first. After Li Zhongming went outside and stood on the terrace and looked down, there was a wave of fear in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling, but it was creepy.

Li Zhongming's home was built in a very high place, which is the edge of the underground city, and his home is on the outermost periphery. The underground layer of the underground city can be dozens of meters from the ground to the top of the head. One can imagine how vast this project is. The soil layer above the head is inlaid with a large number of luminous objects. After seeing it with Tianmu, An Zheng determined that it was a natural gemstone that could absorb the light of the sun and the moon, and then emit it again. In other words, there is a huge magic circle in this soil layer, which absorbs sunlight and injects into these gems.

Li Zhongming's house is more like a cave dug from the edge of the earth wall, but the periphery is made of brick and stone. The terrace is large enough to accommodate six or seven people and it does not appear crowded while standing. Looking down, holding the railing, you can see far away.

"Did you find anything?"

Li Zhongming said a little ugly: "The people here overestimated ourselves, and we overestimated them too. After the family calculations came in from Houshan, no one noticed at all. It was like everyone had an invisible body. Clockwork, some people tighten the clockwork every morning, and then they live step by step. "

He pointed to the following people who walked: "They don't care what's going on outside or what's going on around them. Every morning they go to where they should go, either to farm or to the workshop, there are businessmen Some farmers and craftsmen have everything, but they are not angry. Their days are day after day, day after day, and even they are not sure whether there is a world outside. "

An Zheng's face changed: "What do you mean?"

"The high-level officials here are always brainwashing them, telling them that the world beyond the surface is basically extinct. They are lucky, because their ancestors participated in the construction of the underground palace, so the emperor Daxi gave them the gift to keep them underground. Survive, and there are no more people outside. They are a lucky group. "

"They believe?"

Yuwen Wushuang asked.

Li Zhongming nodded: "Believe, why don't you believe? No one of them has gone out, and the first people who have seen the outside world have already died. They firmly believe that they are lucky to be able to live underground is the Holy Emperor to them. The greatest gift. So these people's loyalty to the Holy Emperor is stronger than those outside. It can be said that in the underground city, the Holy Emperor is not just an emperor, but a god. "

Yuwen Wushuang sighed softly without saying anything.

"Most of them do n’t even know anyone, maybe most of them only know their neighbors. So even if there is an extra one suddenly, they do n’t even care. They do n’t even think I lied ... because they all seem like The domesticated, very obedient sheep, so there are not even more officials here to control. They live according to the rules, because they are afraid ... Have you seen the big stone monument in the distance, with 199 pieces engraved on it? Decree. Anyone who violates any of them must be expelled from the dungeon. And everyone is convinced that the outside world has been polluted, and going out will definitely die. "

An Zheng sneered: "Another world that looks beautiful."

"Yeah, it looks beautiful."

Li Zhongming's complexion turned pale: "They don't think they are sheep."

Yuwen Wushuang: "You don't have the right to judge their thoughts. They think it's good to live here. Isn't it a kind of comfort for them?"

"Maybe."

Li Zhongming looked into the distance: "But in my opinion, the people here are walking dead."

An Zheng did not want to continue this topic, he asked: "How many secrets have you found about the secrets in the underground palace."

"Nothing was found."

Li Zhongming sighed: "No one here restricts you. As long as you don't violate those 199 laws, you can live comfortably. However, no one can cross there ..."

He pointed away: "That wall."

An Zheng knew that the granary and underground arsenal were outside the wall. There should be one or more layers below the granary. That is the core secret of the underground palace, but now it seems that even if you enter the underground city and the secret is still far away. No one can cross the high wall, because the wall is closed. Every door can only be opened from the outside, and the people inside cannot go out at all.

"So it makes no sense for us to come in."

Yuwen Wushuang said lightly: "Can I go now?"

Li Zhongming said: "Although I can't enter the other side of the high wall from here, but I am sure to enter another place, but I don't know what is there. There is a large restricted area over there, there are a large number of soldiers and practitioners guarding. That is alone There is a high wall that extends out of the place. But it is obviously still being built, so it needs a lot of craftsmen to enter. "

"restricted area?"

"Yes, the restricted area. It seems that even the defending soldiers here can't get in and can only be responsible for the security around the area. The real guards are people wearing white linen robes with strange signs on their clothes ... like A pentagram? "

"Stargazing Pavilion."

An Zheng said to himself.

"Stargazing Pavilion?"

Li Zhongming froze for a moment, then said with a sneer: "It turned out to be the stargazers, that is a group of cold-blooded, mechanical-like people. They have no feelings, and anyone who is in there will just be a little out of their way. Killed. In the eyes of those people, there are only two kinds of people, one is themselves, who have always been cattle-like people, including soldiers and even officers. "

"What's the secret in there?"

"I don't know. I only tried to approach one time. I was involved when recruiting craftsmen, but I could only do things outside the restricted area. Those who stared at the Stargazing Court also seemed to be strictly prohibited from talking in front of outsiders, so most of the time it seemed like It ’s dumb. I ca n’t stand their eyes. When they look at other ordinary people, they really look like pigs, cows, horses and sheep. ”

"Stargazing Pavilion will not build a restricted area here for no reason."

An Zheng thought of another restricted area in the Stargazing Pavilion ... In Jinling City, he found a message that the four marshals of the Holy Land who were demoted to the tomb among the emperor's mausoleum were actually related to the Stargazing Pavilion. They secretly cooperated with the stargazers in the emperor's mausoleum to do a big thing. This matter was so important that four saint marshals were required to protect the emperor's mausoleum. Any Marshal of the Holy Land is Daxi's top cultivator, and he needs four guardians to imagine how important that place is.

The news from Anzheng is that it is very likely that the people of Saint Emperor Chen Wunuo who are relying on the Stargazing Pavilion in the Emperor's Tomb are creating something, and the creation of this thing is related to the collection of all monsters and the blood of major families. That's a horrible thing. Once created, it may change the world. In the hunting ground in Jinling City, the old green cow also mentioned some, but because the time was tight, the old green cow didn't say much.

Therefore, An Zheng speculates that the secret place further down the underground palace, as well as the restricted area of ​​this underground city, may have a direct relationship with the secrets in the emperor's mausoleum.

"You are waiting for me here."

An Zheng looked at Yuwen Wushuang: "All you have to do is answer me, and you will stay here."

Yuwen Wushuang frowned slightly: "Why do you arrange what I do?"

"You don't understand anything."

An Zheng went down from the terrace and walked down the street. Yuwen Wushuang stood on the terrace and looked at the disappearing back. He always felt that this person seemed to have touched his heartstring. There is an inexplicable relationship that is unreasonably connected by her. The reason for this is because women can often force unrelated people into relationships ... and various relationships.

An Zheng walked down the street to the restricted area. The reason why he didn't take Yuwen Wushuang and Li Zhongming was because he couldn't believe the people of Yuwen's family, but none of them believed. Li Zhongming seemed to say something sincerely, but he was sure he didn't say more because Li Zhongming didn't trust him. Many words he can only say to Yuwen Wushuang, so Anzheng also gave him this opportunity.

Doing things yourself is much more convenient than taking Yuwen Wushuang and Li Zhongming.

When walking down the street, An Zheng deliberately looked at those people's faces, most of them looked a little white, because the sun was not seen all the year round. Even if those gems release the sun's rays, there is still a huge difference. But the people here do not have that morbid appearance. From the observation of An Zheng, Li Zhongming has his huge subjective identification. Yuwen Wushuang is right in one sentence. The people here are very content with the ease here. Therefore, An Zheng couldn't help but think that if someone told them that the outside world was actually okay, they might not accept it, although in the eyes of outsiders, this was not a cruel thing.

The closer the number of soldiers to the restricted area, the more the number of soldiers, but no one interrogated, that is to say they firmly believed that it was safe, and never thought that a hole had been dug. There are everything here, including inns, restaurants, and even casinos. A few hundred meters away from the restricted area, An Zheng entered a restaurant and sat down by the window to order a few dishes. This restaurant is only a few tens of meters ahead and there is no space.

There are many people in the restaurant, including a few stargazers in white linen robes. This is the restaurant closest to the restricted area, so the business is good, and those soldiers and stargazers will come to sit when they are not on duty.

At this moment, An Zheng saw a familiar figure, so he turned his head immediately. He didn't use the power of cultivation, but just stood up, relying on the strength of his own muscles to easily avoid everyone leaving from the back door, and then put on a mask and entered again. This mask is somewhat similar to Anzheng's, only slightly sharper and thinner. A slight change in a person's facial features can also make a big difference.

He sat down in the previous position, and the serving younger froze for a moment, muttering to himself why he seemed to have changed himself. Anzheng is also courageous and dare to come back and sit in his original position.

Several people walked in slowly outside the door, and the one headed by them was one of the four marshals of Sanctuary that An Zheng had seen ... Mu Jianli.

The moment Mu Mu left, An Zheng knew that he was right. The secret in this underground palace must have a direct relationship with the secret in the imperial mausoleum of Jinling City. Although the two places are far apart, there must be a teleportation circle. And this teleportation circle may be in the so-called forbidden area of ​​the underground city to facilitate the communication between the stargazers.

Mu Jianli and several of them went upstairs behind An Zheng, and then went directly into a private room. Before entering the private room, Mu Jianli stopped and looked back at An Zheng. There was a slight doubt in his eyes, and he turned and entered the house.

An Zheng knew that Mu Jianli was very strong, so he used the power of Taoism to seal off all his strength and breath of cultivation. He didn't know if he could hide Mu Jianli, but he knew that he must take this risk ... because among those few people besides Mu Jianli he knew, there were two people he knew, one was a reclining Buddha It was someone who should have died in his hands.
