Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 182: It doesn't fit the setting
Less than a breath after Xu Qingyan was pushed out, the wall returned to its original state.
The bright sunlight shone on the wall, reflecting a very special fiery red glow on the material of the wall that Tang Zhengxian did not understand, which looked like jade but not jade, and like stone but not stone.
"Pa pa." Several people slapped the wall, but it didn't work.
Tang Zheng tried to find the connection point again, trying to push this "revolving door" with its own platform back, but it didn't work.
Does this revolving door have a cooling time?
Ning Mo was a little anxious: "Oh no, he was feeling unwell just now and is now outside alone..."
"Hey, can you hear me?" Tang Xiaotang anxiously leaned against the wall and called out to Xu Qingyan.
Tang Zheng shook his head. "He will be fine. He is more familiar with the structure of the mausoleum than we are. It is not impossible for him to return the same way and wait for us. Or, he may find a way to catch up."
"Are you so sure that everything is okay?" Ning Mo asked.
"He is Xu Qingyan, a man who wants to become the Pirate King...ah, he wants to assist the wise master in establishing a noble family. It is impossible for him to die so easily. Otherwise, it would not conform to the setting."
"..." Tang Xiaotang stamped her feet, "Master, it's already this time, can you stop joking?"
"Can you get Xu Qingyan back in a hurry?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
"..." Tang Xiaotang was speechless.
Such a clean and bright underworld palace, it seemed that as soon as you walked in, a maid would pour you a cup of hot tea and say something like "Please wait a moment, young masters and young ladies", but it was obvious that it rejected Xu Qingyan and did not welcome Xu Qingyan to come in as a "guest".
Ning Mo sighed: "That being said, the entrance is blocked by the waterfall. Even if he is a three-star warrior..."
The water flow of the waterfall is not small. If a three-star warrior wants to swim upstream, it will probably be impossible without some leverage.
However, Meng Fenghua is left behind up there, so Tang Xiaotang and the others can only hope that Meng Fenghua and Xu Qingyan can find a way to communicate so that Meng Fenghua can bring Xu Qingyan up.
"The question is, what should we do now?" Tang Xiaotang said, "Only Xu Qingyan knows more about the structure of the mausoleum..."
Tang Xiaotang's question was not raised out of thin air.
The entire Underworld Palace has two floors, with six doors on the upper floor and eight doors on the lower floor, a total of fourteen doors.
Everyone remembered what Xu Qingyan had said shortly after entering the mausoleum - if you enter from the front entrance, you will generally not encounter danger on your way to the Underworld Palace, but if you do not choose the right path to the Sleeping Palace after passing the Underworld Palace, it will be full of dangers...
Fourteen doors...
If you choose randomly, the chance of making the wrong choice is too high!
Click, click, click…
Following the slide rails on the ground, the stone-carved maids were very "busy" shuttling back and forth in the Hades Palace. However, because the slide rails could only be installed on a flat surface , the maids on the first floor were on the first floor, and the maids on the second floor were on the second floor, and they could not go up or down the stairs.
Tang Zheng looked at them for a long time but couldn't find any key.
So beautiful.
Leng Xiangyuan used the extermination of the Jade Bird Clan in exchange for the stunning beauty of the Jade Stone City. The faint blue light emanating from the sky and the ground became one of the wonders of the Xingyao Continent, and his tomb was so beautiful, not eerie or dark, everything seemed so warm and beautiful.
Every movement of those maids, bending, lowering their heads, nodding, shaking their heads and even wiping their sweat with their hands, were so lifelike.
Sometimes, two maids would even walk together and cover their mouths together, as if they were secretly telling a funny joke. If you only looked at the back, you couldn't tell that they were two stone sculptures, performing their movements according to the track.
"Leng Xiangyuan's tomb can be turned into a large amusement park. The NPCs for scene-setting have basically been set up. All that's missing is a few real people to play the role of NPCs for the missions." Tang Zheng couldn't help but complain.
Tang Xiaotang and the others certainly didn't understand what Tang Zheng was saying. They were all wandering around in the Underworld Palace, carefully pushing open each door...
The underworld was quiet and peaceful. Not only was there no smell of rotting animal carcasses, but there seemed to be the fresh fragrance of flowers and soil.
There is no hidden mechanism behind any door, it's just like an ordinary door.
There were a total of fourteen doors upstairs and downstairs, all of which were pushed.
Soon, they counted the situations after each door was opened...
"Outside the first door on the first floor is a large garden. There are also stone-carved 'gardeners' working in the garden. Of course, there are slides underneath for show."
"The second door on the first floor is a storage room door, which contains many boxes and cabinets."
"The third door on the first floor..."
"The fourth door..."
After the situations of the fourteen doors in total were counted, Tang Zheng's expression changed before anyone else could react.
There were no lethal weapons behind the door. Inside was a study, a bedroom, a tea room, a maid's room...
But there is no passage!
Except for the front and back gardens, there is no door leading to the outside.
"Leng Xiangyuan seemed to have a good wife when he was alive. Every room was tidy and neat." Tang Xiaotang had a special talent for astrology, so she had no scruples when she pushed open the door. She opened the most doors. What she saw were warm scenes of life one after another. She couldn't help but feel a little envious and look forward to her life after getting married...
However, just as Tang Xiaotang finished speaking, Leng Zhan's voice came out a little abruptly.
"If I remember correctly...Senior Leng Xiangyuan seems to have...never married in his life." Leng Zhan seemed to have said this after a long period of thought.
"It turns out that he is a senior single ..." Tang Zheng choked himself before he could finish his sentence.
In an instant, everyone's face turned pale, including Leng Zhan himself!
Leng Xianyuan never married in his life?
If it is said that this underworld palace was built to recreate Leng Xianyuan's life before his death, then the most it can be described as is "exquisitely crafted" and beautiful, which will make Tang Zheng and others admire it for the rest of their lives.
Such an orderly working scene, the maids with happy smiles on their faces, the clean, bright, dust-free tables and chairs, bookshelves, etc., all represent that his wife must be a woman who knows how to live.
But what did Leng Zhan just say?
Never married in your life?
Never married in his life!
Isn't it true that heroes are paired with beauties since ancient times? How could a great hero like Leng Xiangyuan remain single in his life? This is totally inconsistent with the setting!
"Husband... Master..." Tang Xiaotang tugged at Tang Zheng's sleeve.
"Um?"
"Then, there shouldn't be any mistress in Leng Shuai's tomb, right?" Tang Xiaotang, who had never been afraid of anything, actually had a trembling voice.
It's not dark or scary here at all.
However, the layout of the Hades Palace, which was filled with the atmosphere of the hostess, suddenly became very, very abnormal because of Leng Zhan's words!
Click, click, click…
The maids walked along the track, repeating their work day after day.
"She...are they really...laughing?" Tang Xiaotang felt more and more annoyed at the stiff smiles on the faces of the stone-carved maids.
The entire underworld palace was filled with bright sunlight, and there was a warm and beautiful atmosphere of life.
However, in their eyes, there was only coldness.
