Chen Hai cleared his throat and continued: "Then listen carefully, this version of the legend is a little different."
It was also many years ago, so long that it is difficult to verify.
A large-scale plague broke out in Hongyang City. There were about 200,000 people in the city at the beginning. When the plague raged, the city's population dropped by three-quarters in just a few days, leaving only 50,000 people.< br>
Later, a god clad in golden light descended from the sky and brought life to the people in the city.
"Wait a minute." Ning Tianchen interrupted: "Are you sure you're right, both times were people falling from the sky?"
Chen Hai nodded and said: "I don't need to lie to you. The previous legend did not describe the gods in detail. This legend clearly states that this is a god covered in golden light!"
"Do men and women have three pairs of wings?" Ning Tianchen asked.
Chen Hai complained: "Brother, it is very impolite to look directly at a god. Besides, this is just a legend, whether it is true or not."
Ning Tianchen made a calculation in his mind.
There are only two gods with golden light, the God of Angels and the God of Light.
Among them, the God of Light lived so long ago that there are almost no legends about him on the mainland.
The Angel God is relatively recent, about 30,000 years ago. Coupled with the promotion of Wuhun Palace, many places on the mainland still retain the miracles left by the Angel God.
From this point of view, this god covered in golden light should not be an angel god. As for whether he is the god of light, it is hard to say. After all, this is just a legend that cannot be verified.
After a pause, he asked again: "What is the connection between this legend and the Infernal Cave?"
Chen Haidao: "Don't worry, I will tell you right now."
The god clothed in golden light, after saving the people, warned the people to stay away from the source of the disaster - the Infinite Cave.
A most evil god appeared there, bringing disaster to the people of Hongyang City and harvesting people's souls
"Later, that god must have defeated the god of evil, otherwise there would be no Hongyang City today."
Chen Haidao: "I have told both stories. In short, the Infinite Cave is an evil place, and there are great terrors sealed inside. Just listen to it for fun, and don't even think about exploring it."
As he spoke, he glanced around with vigilant eyes, then leaned into the other person's ear and said: "Let me tell you, a group of people entered it a few years ago, but only one person came out alive, and he died in the city. ”
He was talking about the original expedition team of the Qibao Glazed Sect.
Ning Tianchen asked casually: "Is there anyone else near the Infernal Cave now?"
Chen Hai thought for a while and said: "Some time ago, there seemed to be a group of people sneaking around there. I don't know the specific situation, but I guess they didn't enter it to explore."
"I don't rule out that they, like you, have heard the legend of the Infernal Cave and want to see what's going on."
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, now it's your turn."
Ning Tianchen smiled and took over the conversation, "You have been playing in this gambling house for so long, haven't you noticed the croupier's little tricks?"
"What?" Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, then asked: "You mean, the dealer is out of money?"
Ning Tianchen did not explain clearly, but shrugged and said: "When dealers steal chickens, they often feel guilty and dare not look directly at the gamblers. If you look at him intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes will dodge. So, you know ”
Chen Hai stamped his feet violently and cursed angrily: "Damn, these sons of bitches, see if I mess up his nest!"
When the other party turned around, Ning Tianchen stepped back.
After a while, Chen Hai seemed to have figured it out. He asked: "Then if I go to play a few games, can I tell you that I will win every bet?"
Not hearing Ning Tianchen's response, he quickly turned around and saw that the other party was nowhere to be seen.
Promote outside the city.
Ning Tianchen met everyone.
"How's it going? Is there any result?" Ning Rongrong asked anxiously.
The danger level of the Infernal Cave is very serious. If you don't get any information, you must not act rashly.
Ning Tianchen greeted everyone and walked to the shade of a tree. He said, "I asked a lot of things."
"That secret realm is called the Infinite Cave. It is a bottomless cave. It is said that there is an evil god's corpse in the cave, but the specific time cannot be traced. The group of evil soul masters gathered in front of the secret realm, probably to obtain the power of the evil god. ”
"A god?" Everyone murmured softly.
Jade Butterfly asked: "Is there really a god in this world? Before she died, my mother once said, 'If a butterfly flies across the sea, you will see the Butterfly God in the Butterfly Valley.'"
"Butterfly God?" Ning Tianchen murmured, as if he had never heard of this god.
Chen Huayu said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if he has a god or not, we can just work hard to improve our strength. Why should we care about these illusory things?"
……
At the same time, in Tiandou City.
"Tomorrow is the day to enter the palace, mistress, are you ready?" Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but ask.
Successfully rescuing Xue Ye is their hope for future recovery and must be given sufficient attention.
After so many days, Tang San collected a lot of medicinal materials, spending a total of nearly two million gold soul coins.
Compared with money, it is more important to obtain political resources. Only by gathering more allies can we gather more allies when we seek revenge against Wuhun Palace in the future.
Tang San solemnly said: "Teacher, I am ready. As long as Emperor Xueye still has breath, tomorrow will be absolutely safe."
Tang Xiao added: "Xiao San, it is too dangerous for you to enter the palace alone. Otherwise, can I accompany you?"
The palace is the most important place of the country, and bringing a powerful Titled Douluo into it is a very dangerous thing in itself.
You know, the strength of a titled Douluo is enough to turn the palace upside down. If Tang Xiao's strength is exposed, this trip may be counterproductive.
Tang Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't walked on the mainland for many years. If I disguise myself a little, no one will recognize my identity. Xiaosan, you are our only hope for revenge against Wuhun Palace, nothing can happen!" ”
Yu Xiaogang took over the conversation and said: "Xiaosan, let Sect Master Tang go as you please. If you encounter danger, Sect Master Tang can still take you safely away from the palace."
After a moment of silence, Tang San responded.
Indeed, with Tang Xiao's strength, if someone in the palace was harmful to him, escaping unharmed would not be a problem.
……
On the other side, Xue Qinghe is also planning a palace coup.
According to his idea, tomorrow he would just wait for Tang San to enter the jar, and then he could borrow a knife to kill someone.
"Young Master, someone outside the door just sent you a letter, saying it was from your friend. Please read it." The waiter held the letter in both hands and handed it to Xue Qinghe respectfully.
"Oh, Gu's friend?"
Xue Qinghe thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that he had no other friends except Ning Tianchen.
Picking up the letter, the waiter turned and exited the study.
After opening the envelope and seeing the signature on the letter paper, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but smile and immediately read the contents of the letter.
This letter was left by Ning Tianchen before departure and told Zhang Erhe to deliver it to Xue Qinghe today.
The content of the letter was only a short sentence, which looked more like a prophecy.
"Don't expose your true identity, don't get involved with Wuhun Palace, and you will be invincible." After reading the content of the letter, Xue Qinghe casually put the letter under the oil lamp and burned it. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Ning Tianchen said made sense.
Xue Qinghe's becoming the heir to the throne has long been confirmed. Even if the palace coup fails, as long as he is still Xue Qinghe, at most he will only suffer criticism from the world and it will not affect his status.
If he takes the initiative to reveal his true identity, wouldn't he tell the world that he is the fake Xue Qinghe?
By then, it was a complete failure.
Ning Tianchen has God's perspective, how could he not know the stupid things Qian Renxue did in the original time and space.
In his opinion, if Qian Renxue did not reveal his identity, even if he was defeated by Tang San, he would still be the legitimate one in the empire. At most, he will be labeled as an unfilial son and will not lose his base at all.
The second point is that it has nothing to do with Wuhun Palace, which is actually very easy to understand. After all, the Qibao Glazed Sect is still alive. If he is exposed to be secretly cooperating with Wuhun Palace, he will definitely lose the support of the Qibao Glazed Sect.
It is not even ruled out that the Qibao Glazed Sect will become the first force to oppose him.
Xue Qinghe sat at his desk and thought for a long time.
After more than ten years of deployment, the success or failure depends on tomorrow.
At night, Qingluan Douluo came back and said, "Young Master, after my investigation, Tang Xiao will follow Tang San into the palace tomorrow."
"Tang Xiao's strength is not weak. If you are not protected by a strong person, you may be in danger."
Thinking of Ning Tianchen's reminder, Xue Qinghe refused: "No, if Tang Xiao dares to cause trouble in the palace, someone will take care of him."
Ning Fengzhi was always paying attention to the movements in the palace. If Tang Xiao dared to take action, the Sword Bone Douluo was about to arrive in an instant.
"Young Master, is this too risky?" Qingluan Douluo asked hesitantly.
At this juncture, if Tang Xiao disrupts the situation, the accumulation of more than ten years may be in vain.
Xue Qinghe smiled faintly, "You have to believe that Ning Fengzhi hopes that Gu can ascend the throne as soon as possible."
……
Early the next morning, Tang San carried a medicine box behind him and brought Tang Xiao, who had been disguised, to the palace.
As expected, the two were stopped by the Royal Knights.
"Stop, the palace is an important place. If you dare to intrude, you will be killed!" The guards looked at him warily.
Tang San took out the token from his arms, "We were invited by Count Sotolo to enter the palace to treat His Majesty."
The token given by Count Sotolo was Xue Qinghe's personal token.
Now, the entire palace is surrounded by Xue Qinghe's people, and only his token can enter it.
The guards put away their weapons and shouted, "Let them go!"
The two entered it, and Tang San suddenly stopped.
This was his first time coming to the palace, and these guards didn't show him the way?
You know, the palace is very big inside. How can he find the palace of Emperor Xue Ye by himself?
"Aren't you going to lead the way for me?" Tang San asked.
The guards said righteously: "It is not our duty to lead you, but to guard the entrance to the palace. We cannot leave our posts without authorization!"
"Mistress, we can feel the atmosphere in the palace, let's find it ourselves." Tang Xiao said in a forced tone.
Tang San no longer hesitated and walked towards the palace with Tang Xiao.
After they left, one of the Royal Knights soldiers at the door quickly took off his armor, put on civilian clothes, and informed Xue Qinghe in the palace from a hidden path about the bait.
……
The palace is very large, with intricate roads inside.
Through perception, Tang Xiao discovered that there were a large number of people gathering in the deep palace, thinking that it was Xue Ye's bedroom. However, even if they knew the direction, they would inevitably waste a lot of time when facing such a complicated road.
"Damn it, the anti-theft measures in the palace are too tight. If I didn't fly into the air, it would be difficult for me to see the layout of this place clearly." Tang Xiao said in a deep voice.
Looking at the entire palace from the air, he could only talk about it. If you do this, you will immediately be regarded as an assassin by the guards in the palace.
Tang San patiently observed the distribution of the surrounding roads through the Purple Demon Eye.
"Uncle, you shouldn't be in a hurry about time, just go slowly."
After burning the incense, I noticed that the two of them were acting sneakily. A palace maid came over and scolded: "Who are you? This is the palace, how can you be allowed to be so presumptuous?"
Tang San explained: "Miss, it's like this. We were invited by Count Sotolo to diagnose and treat Your Majesty's illness. When we entered the palace, the soldiers of the Royal Knights did not guide us, so we accidentally entered this place. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
"If Miss is free, you can also take us to see His Majesty."
The maid asked: "Are you sure you are Count Sotolo?"
Tang San nodded, and immediately took out Count Sotolo's personal letter of recommendation.
Upon seeing this, the palace maid relaxed her brows slightly and said, "Follow me."
Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If you meet a court lady who is easy to talk to and lead the way, you can save a lot of trouble in the future.
After all, walking casually in the palace and being caught by the guards is like having yellow mud on your crotch, which is either shit or shit.
Following the palace maid, the two of them walked toward the palace.
When they reached a corner, the palace maid led them into a path that did not lead to Xue Ye's palace.
Tang Xiao secretly reminded him, but Tang San was not in a hurry, he wanted to see what tricks the other party would play.
Furthermore, the way they entered the palace was reasonable and they were not afraid of being investigated.
Not long after, the palace maid saw them brought to a courtyard.
From the outside, the courtyard looks extremely deserted. The outer roads are covered with weeds and moss on both sides, and no one has cleaned the ivy on the fence.
Obviously, no one has taken care of it for a long time.
The maid stood in front of the courtyard door and shouted into the courtyard: "Your Highness, Count Sotolo's guests are here!"
Your Highness?
Tang San instinctively thought of Xue Qinghe.
But Xue Qinghe was the current prince. Even if he didn't live in the palace, his courtyard should be cleaned by someone, so that he wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
Just as he was thinking, the palace maid who was leading the way heard footsteps coming from the courtyard and quickly left, followed by the door to the courtyard slowly opening.
The person who opened the door was none other than Prince Snow Star, who had been under house arrest for many days.
Tang San's eyes were sharp.
When Shrek Academy came to Tiandou Royal Academy, Prince Xuexing humiliated them in public. Moreover, Qin Ming also died at the hands of Prince Xuexing.
Facing his enemy, he wanted to tear him apart with his hands.
However, this is the palace, and any fighting movement will be noticed. Therefore, he decided to see what tricks the other party would play first. (End of chapter)
