Five days later.

Standing at the foot of the capital, the cold wind whistled.

Although there is no snow in the distance, all the trees do not have a single leaf, and the cold wind cuts on their faces like a knife, without the feeling of early spring at all.

Xu Gongzhu pulled her collar to block the cold wind, but she still felt a lot of emotion.

A few months ago, I saw Zhou Ze away at the South City Gate.

Then, he took his men and went south to search for Princess Anle who had secretly left the palace. Although he had not come back for more than two months, he felt like things had changed.

"Hey, have you seen enough? We still need to go into the city."

Lao Xu glanced at Xiaobai on the carriage. He was dressed in men's clothing and looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. Not to mention that he was pretending to be quite similar.

Xiaobai was lying on the shoulders of a little mouse that had been pure black. His claws were tightly stomping on Xiaobai's collar, looking panicked. After all, Xiaobai would not consider whether it would fall.

"Well, it's time to go into the city. Do you remember the remarks Sanyuan taught you?"

Xiaobai snorted and raised his chin.

"Looking, Zhou Ze said, just let me play the role of my true nature, be arrogant enough. Anyway, the document is ready, just remember your name, right? Zhou Sanbao?"

"You are optimistic about Xiao Hei. Most people will be frightened when they see someone carrying a mouse out, just don't attract attention."

After Old Xu finished speaking, he touched the document on his chest. At this time, he had already lined up to them to check before entering the city. Old Xu quickly jumped out of the car, walked to the soldiers guarding the city, and respectfully presented the document.

The defending soldiers glanced at the man next to him, and the man jumped open the curtain of the car door and asked Xiaobai:

"What are you, master and servant, coming to the capital?"

Xiaobai just nodded slightly and replied casually:

"Study!"

Old Xu took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed it to the city guard. The man smiled slightly and returned the document with both hands.

"Please, Mr. Zhou!"

Old Xu didn't say nonsense, put away his papers, got in the car and walked into the capital, found an inn and settled it. After dinner, the weather gradually became darker.

The mandrill was thrown on the table, and Lao Xu unfolded a picture.

The picture shows a courtyard, which is drawn very finely. The buildings on the ground are depicted by black lines, and the red dotted lines are underground passages.

"After the fourth update, we entered here, Xiao Hei, I will take you with me. If you meet someone on patrol, you need to summon some beasts to attract their attention. If there are experts, you need to help me cover it.

Of course, if we get separated, you don’t have to look for me, just go back to the inn. At dawn, if I don’t come back, you can leave the city by yourself and wait for me at Gong Siping’s house in Gongjiazhuang, three miles away from the west of the city. There is my house.”

Xiaobai nodded, no longer had the pride he had before.

"You promised Zhou Ze to go back safely, and he could not get anything. He treated you as a friend and didn't want you to have trouble."

"It is no small matter to break into the Monster Hunting. I just talk about what may happen. Before the third update, the master generally would not return to the Monster Hunting. If the umbrella is placed in the Monster Hunting, the most likely place to be stored is in the underground palace.

The first floor of the underground palace is to imprison various demons or those who cannot imprison the prison. There are the most guards here. We go in through a rainwater passage on the side and hide our good breath so that we can not alarm these people.

There is a statue on the northmost side. There is a mechanism here that can open a passage to enter the second floor of the underground palace, where there is no one to guard it, and there are many things in the umbrellas and umbrellas.

Xiaobai glanced at Lao Xu. Lao Xu's words were very confident, without any hesitation or uncertainty.

"Why are there still no one guarding?"

Old Xu exhaled, pursed his lips and looked out the window.

"Because there is a Pi Beast here, it is said to be a monster related to the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty. It requires the guidance of the essence and blood to open the mechanism before entering. Ordinary masters will be injured by the spirit of the Pi Beast even when they touch this mechanism.

There is no safer place in the capital than here, so the umbrella must be placed here. After all, the spirits overflowing from the pi beast can nourish these magical tools."

Xiaobai looked nervous. She had been following Lao Xu for a year and didn't know about the underground palace. She had never followed him to the Demon Catching Office. After all, there were disciples of Lao Xu's master Zhang Huai's disciples.

"Without using essence and blood, will you reveal your identity?"

Old Xu stretched out his hand to Xiaobai, and there was a glass bottle in the palm of his hand. Xiaobai was stunned. She was so familiar with the bottle. This was the bottle used to collect Zhou Ze's blood before. It was bright red inside. Could it be...

“This won’t be…”

Lao Xu nodded.

"This is Zhou Ze's blood. After using this blood as a guide, after entering the second underground palace, I will use my own essence and blood to induce the Pi Beast. It should be fine."

At the fourth update, two figures rushed into the night.

Soon after, he came to the periphery of the Monster Hunt and entered from a disrepaired house. Lao Xu was very familiar with this place, while Xiaobai had excellent eyesight and could see the furnishings in the room through the moonlight.

After walking around the main hall to the east room, Lao Xu moved a bed away and a door appeared on the ground.

Squatting on the ground, Lao Xu put his hand on the door and sensed it, then opened the door, and an authentic tunnel appeared in front of him. It seemed that wind was blowing out inside, with a damp and musty smell.

Xiao Hei, a mandrill who turned into a little mouse, was thrown to Lao Xu by Xiaobai, who poked Xiao Hei's belly.

"If you want to scream, cover your mouth. If you attract others' attention, I will throw you out. These people are not us. Your water-retardation droplets are in Xiaobai. You can't escape now. If you catch them, you may be able to peel you into a kid and hang them in the hall."

Xiao Hei shivered and quickly covered his mouth with one claw.

Nodded to Lao Xu, indicating that he was ready.

With his wrist flipped, Lao Xu drew two patterns in the void, as if two rays of light fell on him and Xiaobai. Xiaobai could feel that he seemed to have a layer of film on his body, probably to block the breath.

At this time, Lao Xu opened the fire slash and entered the tunnel with Xiaobai, and the door outside was also closed.

The tunnel is very long and there are many forks in the road, but Lao Xu seems to be very familiar with it and you can find the direction without any discernment.

Soon, an opening appeared at the tunnel below, and the sound of water was very loud.

Lao Xu jumped down without hesitation, and Xiaobai followed behind.

As soon as the water entered the water, the biting chill made Xiaobai tremble. Lao Xu took the fire note in his mouth and swam forward. Xiaobai hurriedly followed.

The biting chill made the limbs a little difficult to control. Fortunately, the waterway is not long, and there will be a step after turning two turns.

The two of them quickly climbed up. Xiaobai turned into a cat demon body and shook it off. It felt a little dry. Old Xu seemed to have nothing to do. When Xiaobai finished processing, he had already pried open a lock.

This is a passage with an iron fence gate, only half a person tall. Lao Xu bent his waist and crawled in, and Xiaobai followed closely behind. The height had no effect on Xiaobai.

Suddenly, Lao Xu stopped, and the fire broke out in his hand quickly and crawled in front of him. Xiaobai didn't dare to move, and a sound of footsteps came from the top of his head.

It sounded like there were quite a few people, and as the footsteps went away, Lao Xu poked his head out.

Xiaobai also showed his head and looked at it. Several fires in the yard were very conspicuous. This was a main hall, which should be a courtyard inside the Monster Hunt.

Lao Xu pointed to a ditch on the edge, nodded at Xiaobai, then waved over and rushed over. Xiaobai quickly followed. At this time, Lao Xu had already stopped on the side of the main hall.

Just above their heads, there was an iron gate. The door was not big and seemed to be inserted from the inside. There was an iron railing below. It seemed that this was the drainage place. Although I didn't understand, this hall must have a lot of water, otherwise there would be no need to pay so much attention to drainage in the capital.

Lao Xu fiddled with a dagger a few times, and the latch was opened.

Holding the edge of the iron door, slowly opened the door, the two of them went in directly, and the hall was brightly lit.

However, this corner was still very dark, because the front was blocked by a huge screen, Xiaobai's heart was already in his throat, and he followed Lao Xu almost against the wall and walked to the northeast corner.

There is a circle of wooden fences, with a hole below, and there are many ropes hanging here. From time to time, the ropes move up and down with the sound of bells.

Xiaobai had never seen such a thing before. Lao Xu took out a piece of cloth, wrapped his hands, patted his shoulder, and Xiaobai jumped to Lao Xu's shoulder.

As soon as I stood firm, the copper ringtone sounded in my ears.

Before Xiaobai could react much, he brushed it, Lao Xu grabbed the ropes and slipped down and landed below. Lao Xu flashed and hid in the dark.

There were many people here, with the sound of interrogation, the sound of whipping, and the sound of whipping. A few months ago, Xu Gongzhu thought that these were nothing, but now it sounded very harsh.

Xiaobai was so scared that he held his breath and covered his mouth. Such a ringtone was more like an alarm.

Has it been discovered?
