"I don't know this." Mo Han shook his head, "Maybe, they have some special means to detect the whereabouts of the Chaos Artifact."
"No matter what, we can't let them get the Chaos Artifact!" Luo Chen said firmly, "Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"That's right." Qingshuang nodded in agreement, "We must stop them!"
"But, what should we do now?" Mo Han asked with a frown, "These people from the 'Holy Church' are strong and numerous, so we are no match for them at all."
"It is definitely not possible to fight hard." Luo Chen pondered for a moment and said, "We must be smart."
"Go ahead with wisdom?" Mo Han and Qingshuang looked at each other, and were a little puzzled.
"Yes, take it smart." A cunning light flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. "Since they want to use the Chaos Artifact to resurrect the 'Holy Lord', then we will start with the Chaos Artifact and destroy their plans!"
< br>
"You mean..." Qingshuang seemed to understand Luo Chen's thoughts.
"That's right." Luo Chen nodded, "Since the Chaos Artifact is so important, we may be able to start first, find the Chaos Artifact, and then hide it or destroy it. In this way, they will not be able to resurrect.' Holy Lord'. "
"This is a good method!" Mo Han's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "As long as we find the Chaos Artifact, it is equivalent to shaking their throats. At that time, they will have to let us slaughter!"
< br>
"But, where is the Chaos Artifact in the Imperial Palace?" Qingshuang raised the key question.
"This..." Luo Chen and Mo Han were both silent. Although they knew that the Chaos Artifact was in the palace, the palace was so big that finding the Chaos Artifact was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
"It seems that we have scored the lead." Qingshuang said suddenly.
"Operation separate?" Luo Chen and Mo Han were both a little surprised.
"That's right." Qingshuang nodded, "The three of us have their own strengths. We should divide the work and cooperate to improve efficiency."
"How do you plan to divide the labor?" Luo Chen asked.
"Mo Han and I are responsible for finding the whereabouts of the Chaos Artifact." Qingshuang said, "Mo Han is proficient in mechanical numerology, and I... am more familiar with the layout of the palace. If we join forces, we should be able to find some clues."
"What about you?" Mo Han looked at Luo Chen.
"Me?" Luo Chen was stunned, then smiled, "Of course I am responsible... well, I am responsible for supporting you."
"Support?" Mo Han and Qingshuang were speechless. To put it nicely, this guy is support, to put it badly, isn’t it just a soy sauce?
"Don't look at me like this." Luo Chen shrugged, "I'm not very strong, and I can't help with you when I act with you. It's better to stay outside and look at you and inquire about the news. .”
"Okay." Mo Han shook his head helplessly, "Then you stay outside and stay in touch at any time."
"No problem!" Luo Chen patted his chest and promised.
"No need to delay, let's take action now." Qingshuang said, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the underground palace.
"Wait!" Mo Han suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Qingshuang turned around and asked.
"You... are you very familiar with the palace?" Mo Han hesitated for a moment, and asked the doubts in his heart. He always felt that Qingshuang's familiarity with the palace seemed to be somewhat beyond ordinary people's understanding.
"Yes." Qingshuang responded lightly, without explaining much.
"You... have you been to the palace before?" Mo Han continued to ask.
"No." Qingshuang shook her head.
"Then why are you..." Mo Han wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Qingshuang.
"Now is not the time to talk about these." Qingshuang's tone was still calm, but a trace of undetectable complex emotions flashed in her eyes. "It is important to find the Chaos Artifact first."
After saying that, she ignored Mo Han and walked straight forward.
Mo Han looked at Qingshuang's back, frowned, and his heart was full of doubts. But he knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of the matter, so he could only temporarily suppress his doubts and follow him.
Luo Chen looked at the two of them leaving, smiled and said to himself, "These two guys are mysterious, they must have hidden some secrets from me. But forget it, who hasn't got some secret yet? ? As long as they don't cheat me."
After saying that, he also turned around and walked out of the underground palace.
The three of them acted separately and each launched an investigation.
Qingshuang and Mo Han searched carefully in the underground palace, trying to find clues about the Chaos Artifact.
Luo Chen left the underground palace and wandered around the palace, inquiring about the news.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Qingshuang and Mo Han still found nothing, and there was no other discovery in the underground palace except those men in black robe.
Luo Chen also found out some news, but it was all irrelevant rumor, which was not helpful to their actions.
Just when the three of them were at a loss, Qingshuang suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Mo Han asked.
"Here..." Qingshuang pointed to an inconspicuous corner and said, "It seems something is wrong here."
"What's wrong?" Mo Han walked forward and carefully observed where Qingshuang was pointing, but found no abnormalities.
"Is there any problem here?" Mo Han asked.
"I don't know either." Qingshuang shook her head, "but I always feel that something seems to be hidden here."
As she said that, she squatted down and looked carefully.
Seeing this, Mo Han squatted down and searched with Qingshuang.
The two of them searched carefully for a long time, and finally, Qingshuang found a subtle trace on a stone brick.
"This is..." Qingshuang's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something.
"What is this?" Mo Han also came over.
"This seems to be an ancient text," said Qingshuang. "I have seen it in an ancient book."
"Ancient words?" Mo Han frowned, "What is written on it?"
"Let me see..." Qingshuang carefully identified the words on the stone bricks. After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on her face, "I found it!"
"What have you found?" Mo Han asked hurriedly.
"The clues about the Chaos Artifact!" Qingshuang said excitedly, "This records the sealed place of the Chaos Artifact!"
"Really?" Mo Han also became excited, "Where is it?"
"Nine Dragon Tower!" Qingshuang said word by word, "The Chaos Artifact is sealed in the forbidden area of the palace - the Nine Dragon Tower!"
"Nine Dragon Tower?" Mo Han frowned, "Where is that place?"
"The Nine Dragon Tower is the forbidden area of the palace. It is said that nine evil dragons are suppressed, which are extremely dangerous. No one except the emperor is allowed to enter." Qingshuang explained. "What should we do?" Mo Han asked, "You can't force yourself, right?"
"Of course you can't force yourself." Qingshuang shook her head, "It's also recorded that if you want to open the seal of the Nine Dragon Tower, you need nine special keys."
"Nine keys?" Mo Han's face became ugly, "Where should I find this...?"
"Don't be anxious." Qingshuang comforted, "There are also some clues about the keys. We should be able to find them as long as we follow the clues."
"Okay." Mo Han nodded, "Then let's go find the key now."
"Yeah." Qingshuang responded, and then, with Mo Han, searched for the key according to the clues recorded on the stone bricks.
On the other side, Luo Chen was still wandering around the palace.
Suddenly, he saw a palace maid walking towards the Imperial Garden sneakily.
"Strange, it's so late, why did she go to the Imperial Garden for?" Luo Chen was puzzled and followed quietly.
After the palace maid came to the Imperial Garden, she looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, then she took out a note from her arms and stuffed it into the crack of a rockery.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
After doing all this, she hurriedly left.
Seeing this, Luo Chen hurriedly walked over and took out the note from the crack of the rockery.
When I opened it, I saw that it read: "Nine Dragon Tower, the first key, the Imperial Garden."
"This is..." Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy, "Is this a clue about the key?"
He looked at the sky, and there was still some time before midnight, so he decided to wait here first.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, it was midnight.
Luo Chen hid in a dark place, quietly observing the movements of the imperial garden.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the imperial garden, which was the palace maid before.
She walked to the rockery, took out a key from her arms, and inserted it into a hole in the rockery.
With a "click", the rockery slowly opened, revealing a secret passage.
"There is indeed a secret passage!" Luo Chen was delighted and was about to follow him, but suddenly stopped.
"No, how could this palace maid know that the key is here? Moreover, she seems to know our actions very well. There may be frauds in it!"
A trace of vigilance flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, and he decided to wait and see what the palace maid wanted to do.
After the palace maid entered the secret passage, she quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Luo Chen waited for a while and then quietly followed after confirming that the palace maid had left.
He walked along the secret passage and soon arrived at a spacious stone chamber.
I saw a stone platform in the middle of the stone chamber, and a key was placed on it!
"Is this the first key?" Luo Chen was delighted and was about to go forward to get it, but suddenly stopped.
"No, how could this key be obtained so easily? There must be a fraud in it!"
A cunning light flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. Instead of going forward to get the key directly, he took out a stone from his arms and threw it at the key.
With a "swoosh", the stone hit the key.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
I saw countless arrows suddenly shot out around the stone chamber, shooting towards the key on the stone platform!
"It's true that there is a fraud!" Luo Chen was shocked and hurriedly dodged.
The arrows shot on the stone platform, making a "ding-ding-dang" sound, shattering the keys on the stone platform!
"It's so dangerous!" Luo Chen secretly thanked that he did not come forward rashly, otherwise, he would be the one who was shot into a hedgehog now.
"Who is this palace maid? Why did she do this?" Luo Chen was full of doubts.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in the stone chamber: "It's worthy of being Luo Chen, it's true that he is extremely alert."
Luo Chen was shocked and quickly looked in the sound. He saw that the palace maid appeared in the stone chamber at some point, looking at him with a playful look on his face.
"Who are you?" Luo Chen asked in a deep voice.
"You will know who I am soon." The palace maid smiled and said, "But before that, I have a gift to give to you."
After saying that, she took out a note from her arms and threw it to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen took the note and opened it and saw that it read: "Nine Dragon Tower, the second key, the ugly time, the library."
"This is..." Luo Chen narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "What exactly does this palace maid want to do?"
"Okay, my mission is completed." said the palace maid, "Next, it depends on your own."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the secret passage.
"Wait!" Luo Chen stopped her, "Why do you want to help me?"
Luo Chen called out to the palace maid who turned around and wanted to leave, and a glimmer of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He really couldn't figure out why this mysterious palace maid had to help him again and again.
The palace maid stopped and looked back and smiled. The smile was filled with a hint of cunning and helplessness: "Do you need a reason to help others? Maybe, I just like you?"
"I like you?" Luo Chen's mouth twitched. What's the reason? He didn't believe that this palace maid would risk her life to help him because of such nonsensical reasons.
"Believe it or not." The palace maid shrugged, not seeming to care about Luo Chen's suspicion, "However, I advise you to find the other two keys as soon as possible, otherwise, when the people of the "Holy Church" react, you can In trouble."
"Wait!" Luo Chen said quickly, "You haven't told me yet, who are you? Also, why do you betray the 'Holy Church'?"
"My name is Ling'er." Ling'er said softly, "As for why I betray the 'Holy Church'... you will know in the future."
"Ling'er..." Luo Chen murmured to himself, remembering this name in his heart. He looked at Ling'er, his eyes were still full of doubts, but he also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it.
"Okay." Luo Chen nodded, "Then let's go find the other two keys first. But you have to tell me, are there any other undercover agents in the palace of the 'Holy Church'?"
< br>
"Yes." Ling'er said without hesitation, "Also, their strength is very strong, you must be careful."
"How powerful is it?" Luo Chen asked.
"At least... it is much stronger than what you encounter now." Ling'er's tone became solemn, "So, don't act rashly, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I understand." Luo Chen nodded, secretly alert in his heart. It seems that this palace is far more dangerous than he imagined.
"Okay, that's all for this." Ling'er said, "It's time for me to leave. Remember, when I was ugly, the library is the second key." (End of this chapter)
