Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 543: The Mysterious House
There is a secret hidden under the dragon throne.
No one expected this.
Ding Xi said: "This might be the last of the three formations of the Nameless Island that the old man mentioned! I'll go down first. If you don't find any danger, you can follow me."
His attainments in formations were not low, and he was confident that he could escape unscathed. He was also very curious about what secrets were hidden in this final formation.
——Why is this formation the most powerful one, but never shown to anyone, with only a few words of description from the old man, and even Gong Jiu doesn’t know the secret?
Ding Xi walked down carefully.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...
A full hour passed.
Ding Xi hasn't come out yet.
Su Weiyun and the other three were waiting outside anxiously.
After waiting for the first half hour, Xiao Ma said, "No, I want to go down to see Brother Ding. He might be injured..."
Before he could finish his words, Ding Xi's head popped out from the tunnel.
Su Weiyun asked, "What powerful mechanism is there inside? Why did you take so long to come out?"
Ding Xi said: "There is no mechanism inside."
Xiao Ma jumped up and said, "There's no mechanism inside. Why did you take so long?"
Ding Xi said helplessly: "It is precisely because there are no traps that I have been cautious and on guard, fearing that I would make mistakes, that's why I slowed down."
This answer is indeed very true.
Su Weiyun asked again: "So what's inside?"
Ding Xi showed a very strange look and said, "There is only one room inside."
"What house?"
"Just follow me and you'll see."
Ding Xi turned around and went down the tunnel again.
…
The secret passage sloped downward, and the five people walked along it. After they had walked about two hundred feet, the road gradually became straight.
This means that this secret passage is at least a hundred feet deep from the ground.
Both sides of the secret passage were illuminated by night-shining pearls as big as longan trees. The light was neither too bright nor too dim, and the air inside was a little damp and cold.
The five people walked for a long time before they arrived at a door.
To be precise, it should be one room ago.
The entire door was transparent and bright, shining with light, but when looking through the door, the things inside were only vaguely visible and could not be seen clearly.
All I could see was a dark room inside, not very big.
Su Weiyun frowned and asked, "What is this place?"
Ding Xi said: "I don't know. I don't know how to open this door. I tried to stab it with a sword, but it left almost no mark."
Su Weiyun touched the door, which felt very smooth and angular. He said slowly, "This is made of extremely hard diamond."
Qiu Fengwu was surprised and asked, "Did the old man actually refine such a large piece of diamond into a gate?"
Su Weiyun said: "From this, it can be seen that the room inside the door is even more important."
Ding Xi murmured, "They have already set fire to the island. This formation can no longer be used. What on earth is it?"
The five people were thinking hard when two women's voices suddenly sounded in the secret passage.
The five people immediately listened quietly.
Su Weiyun recognized that one of the voices was the Palace Master's.
"Gong Jiu has disobeyed the old man's orders and set fire to Wuming Island while the old man was watering the flowers. That's why the old man asked us to come here."
"Alas, the old man has always been very careful in his calculations, but he finally miscalculated once."
"He didn't miscalculate. This was also part of his plan. The last battle of the famous hall is the most terrible punishment!"
Although the palace master originally didn't know what the formation here was, she knew it when the old man sent her here.
"Why? Does the old man want to punish Master Gong Jiu?"
The palace master said coldly: "Xiaoyu, you are just a maid! This is all I can tell you . You'd better not guess about other things."
"Oh..." The voice seemed a little frightened, and then said: "But Miss, what reason should I use to lure Master Gong Jiu here?"
The sound gradually got closer, and the palace master slowly walked down.
"Just say that Su Weiyun has trespassed into the famous hall and is trapped in the formation. Just let him come over. I will wait for him inside, and then you will have nothing to do."
…
The secret room was long and the sound of footsteps could be heard constantly.
"Okay, Miss, I'll remember that. I'll do everything I can to bring Master Gong Jiu here."
The palace master slowly appeared in front of the door, holding a strange jade disk in her pair of jade hands. The jade disk was flawless, crystal clear and beautiful, even smoother than her hands.
She held the jade disk in her hands as if she was holding the most sacred token, and was about to perform the greatest ceremony as a saint.
The door made entirely of diamond appeared in front of her.
She was deeply fascinated at the first sight.
It would be hard for any girl not to be fascinated when she sees such a door for the first time.
But the palace master saw a person the second time he looked.
The expression on her face immediately became interesting.
The person she saw was Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun smiled at her and said, "Go tell Gong Jiu quickly that I'm inside the formation. Tell him to come find me quickly."
The palace master was stunned and speechless, and Xiaoyu beside her was even more at a loss.
But soon, the palace master's astonishment turned into a sneer.
"Hahaha, Su Weiyun, although I didn't expect you to hide here, you have been severely injured by the old man and Gong Jiu. You are almost exhausted. Let's see how you can deal with me!"
After she finished speaking, she threw the jade disk to Xiaoyu, intertwined her hands into the shape of an orchid, and turned over and over, attacking Su Weiyun.
However, before she met Su Weiyun, she found that four other people had emerged from the dark corner.
One of them used a sword technique that was like a peacock spreading its tail to cut her hand.
There was a man on the ground hooking her feet with a pair of iron hooks.
There was another person behind the two of them, who approached her and started pressing her acupoints.
Finally, there was one person who made her most angry.
The last person stood in front of her, pointed at her, and shouted: "You are just a little woman, you offended the divine power, why don't you kneel down?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Palace Master knelt down.
She had to dodge the dazzling sword skills in front of her and jump to avoid the farewell hook on the ground, which was already very difficult.
Therefore, the "blood sea points" next to her knees had been pressed.
The person who used the sword was Qiu Fengwu, the person who used the hook was Yang Zheng, the person who pressed the acupoints was Ding Xi, and the person who spoke loudly was naturally Xiao Ma.
The Palace Master fell to his knees, his face full of reluctance.
Xiaoyu, who was standing next to her, was trying to escape with the jade disk in her hand, but Su Weiyun gently pointed a finger at her and used his strength to press acupoints in the air, instantly rendering her unable to move.
Xiaoyu said fearfully , "Miss, I think the old man finally made a mistake. You shouldn't refute me this time, right?"
Su Weiyun snatched the jade disk from her hand and said slowly: "As long as we are human, we will make mistakes sometimes. How wise was Zhuge Kongming in the past? Yet, the Kingdom of Shu still perished."
The Palace Master sneered, "Even if the old man made a mistake, so what? If I don't report to him, he will definitely notice it. When he comes, you will still die!"
Su Weiyun said calmly: "By the time he comes, my power might have been fully restored!"
Su Weiyun handed the jade disk to Ding Xi. Ding Xi looked at it for a long time, and finally walked slowly towards it, as if preparing to embed it into a groove on the stone wall.
But then he put the jade disk down again.
"Palace Master, you grew up on an unknown island. Don't you really know what is hidden behind this door?"
