Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 191 Tang Zheng’s Psychological Counseling
After leaving the door of the Underworld Palace, they entered a spacious passage. As if to verify Tang Zheng's statement, after leaving the Underworld Palace, the style suddenly changed. There were scattered gravel and soil everywhere, underground water seeping from the corners of the wall, and some purple-red plants that looked like moss but not like moss.
Seeing this style of painting, Tang Xiaotang covered her nose, a little uncomfortable, but Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right! A cemetery should look like a cemetery!
"It seems that we have found the right way..." Tang Zheng shrugged and said.
"According to what you said, we were all lost before?" Tang Xiaotang thought of Xu Qingyan again when she mentioned this, "But we followed the route Xu Qingyan told us."
"It can't be considered as getting lost. At most, it can be considered as... taking a shortcut." Tang Zheng spread out his hands.
"Didn't we take a long detour?" Ning Mo asked, "In fact, from the moment I walked down the stairs, I felt that my right foot was bearing less force than my left foot. The angle of the stairs we can see is straight, but in fact... there may be a slight curvature."
"He must have taken a shortcut." Tang Zheng raised his head, "But I can't say whether the shortcut was to Leng Xiangyuan's main tomb or somewhere else..."
Xu Qingyan also said that there are usually only bones in the main tomb!
Of course there is nothing good to steal from a corpse. Be it Li Zhi, Lu Tianji, or even the unknown demon who provided them with the route, they probably don't want Leng Xiangyuan's corpse.
The exits of the main tomb chamber are divided into the life door and the death door. The things that Li Zhi and his men want to steal are probably placed in the life door!
Along the way, Leng Zhan's face was gloomy.
Tang Xiaotang poked Tang Zheng with her finger: "Master, you know how to speak, go and tell us..."
Tang Zheng felt like crying when he heard this wording. What did he mean by he could say that?
Moreover, he didn't think that Leng Zhan really wanted to fight to the death over this matter. If it wasn't a matter of life and death, why bother with him? She wasn't a cute girl.
However, Tang Xiaotang had already spoken, and Tang Zheng couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he could only take two steps forward: "Well, that... what, the cold war..."
"Yeah." Leng Zhan's reaction was indifferent, but he was indifferent to most things other than fighting, so it didn't seem out of place.
"People make mistakes, horses stumble, you don't need to think too much, especially since you didn't make a mistake. You didn't even think about how to deal with it, so you didn't put in any effort, and you didn't suffer any loss, so you don't need to worry about it..."
"Cough cough!" Tang Xiaotang urgently activated the coughing skill.
Leng Zhan's face had turned even darker.
That's right, at the beginning, he was not very enthusiastic about the fact that Lu Tianji and Lu Wantang would rob Leng Xiangyuan's tomb. As for the fact that they had dealings with the demon clan, it was even more impossible for him to imagine it.
Tang Zheng uttered "Ah" softly, and immediately changed his words: "Oh, no, I don't mean that you didn't think of a solution. How did you say that... It's definitely not your fault, it's the world's fault..."
"Cough cough cough cough!" Tang Xiaotang coughed violently a few times.
Leng Zhan's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he seemed ready to go berserk at any moment.
Tang Xiaotang was puzzled. How could the teacher, who was so eloquent, be so ineffective now?
"No, no, I definitely don't mean to say that you are a middle school student. You see, I am also very sad about what happened. I also want to raise my arms and shout out how could there be such a treacherous, cunning, dirty and shameless villain who took advantage of Xiao Baihua's trust and did such a shocking..."
"Who is Little White Flower?" Leng Zhan couldn't help himself and coldly interrupted Tang Zheng's words.
"I. I'm Little White Flower ..." Tang Zheng laughed, "Can you speak? Okay, it's good that you can still speak. I shouldn't suffer from depression..."
Leng Zhan rolled his eyes at him, having no idea what he was talking about.
Tang Xiaotang followed, hugged Tang Zheng's arm, and pinched him lightly.
Tang Zheng is a gaming geek and not a psychology major, so he thinks that what he has achieved is pretty good.
"The Changyuan Leng family has countless heroes and tens of thousands of loyal people under their command. Leng Zhan, you shouldn't be disappointed by these two weirdos." Jiang Wuyan added from behind.
Leng Zhan did not answer and continued walking forward.
Several people looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
After all, they were not direct descendants of the Leng family, and had no responsibility for the future of the Changyuan Leng family. Therefore, they probably couldn't even imagine the impact this incident had on Leng Zhan.
However, Leng Zhan is not the kind of person who would be sad, seek death, or even take revenge on society after being treated as a fool.
While others were still "concerned" about his emotions, he had already stopped: "There are restrictions."
Tang Xiaotang's expression suddenly changed.
They have hardly encountered any danger since they entered the mausoleum. How come they were walking just fine and suddenly there were restrictions?
Jiang Wuyan looked around and was obviously unaware of anything.
Ning Mo, on the other hand, had the highest strength among everyone, so he slowly nodded his head when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng yawned and said with a smile: "It has been banned since we left the Hades Palace. You are just reacting now. Your reaction arc is a little long, Leng Zhan..."
"Did it start from the moment we left the Hades Palace?" Leng Zhan really didn't feel it just now.
"Just a little bit, very subtle..." Tang Zheng pointed at the stars behind everyone, "Every ten steps or so, everyone's star power will slow down a little bit, because the brightness of your stars is probably more than 10% weaker than when you left the Hades Palace."
"More than 10%?" Several people looked up. They had not noticed at all that in this long passage, the star power had been suppressed so much.
"Then when we reach the end of this passage, it won't be..." Tang Xiaotang had a terrible guess.
"Well, it's very likely that when our star power is suppressed to the point where it cannot be fully exerted, that will be the time to enter the main tomb!" Tang Zheng also figured out a problem, a problem he had been thinking about when he talked about this with Leng Zhan that night.
That is, why didn’t Lu Tianji come in himself?
If Lu Tianji had known that there was no difference between nine stars and one star in Leng Xiangyuan's cemetery, then why did he come in? Of course, he only needed to let Lu Wantang and the other juniors come in and take back what he needed!
"Haha, I've never understood why a few youngsters like these dared to break into Leng Xiangyuan's tomb. It turns out... they already had a strategy." Tang Zheng shook his head, and he seemed to have completely figured out the matter.
"If what the Master said is true, then we have actually only walked a short distance towards the main tomb?" Tang Xiaotang's face turned pale.
Tang Zheng spread his hands and replied with a smile: "I originally thought that the cemetery was a test of IQ, but unfortunately, in this cemetery, it seems that it is a test of physical strength."
There are no mechanisms, no puzzles to solve, so it’s useless to have intelligence.
No matter how smart they are, they are no different from Lan Shaoze who has lost his mind.
If they couldn't walk anymore, they would have to stop, eat, sleep, and wait until their strength recovered before continuing to walk...
Of course, this is definitely not what they want to do.
They must race against time, reach Leng Xiangyuan's main tomb before Li Zhi and the others, find the exit first, and see the burial objects first, so that they can know what Lu Tian wants and what the demon clan that helps wants!
"Now I understand why you said the road to the Underworld Palace was a shortcut." Ning Mo said.
"Let's go on!" The group continued to move forward despite the suppression of the star power.
…
As they went deeper and deeper, the star power restrictions they faced became more and more severe. Not only was their star power getting weaker and weaker, but in this chaotic passage, where the main star could not reach, the free star power was also very thin.
The luster of the stars behind each person is getting dimmer and dimmer, like a match that is about to burn out and may go out at any time.
At this moment, Tang Zheng took out a fire starter from his pocket, blew it up, and said directly: "Let's just put it out. It consumes too much energy."
It is already very difficult for them to maintain the rising of the stars under such a great restriction.
Cold sweat had already seeped out of everyone's forehead.
After walking for such a long time, I was already very tired, and I had to keep the stars rising, which put an even greater strain on my body.
Tang Zheng skillfully took out torches, kerosene, lanterns and other things from his storage bag, lit them one by one, and distributed one to almost everyone.
"Master... this lantern is a decoration you picked up from your home, right?" Tang Xiaotang looked at the lantern that was handed to her. The intricate hollow patterns on it did not look like it was meant to be used.
"It looks a bit fancy, but it works." Tang Zheng waved his hand. "The conditions are special, so just make do with it and don't be picky."
Jiang Wuyan and the others all took a look at the lantern and their faces changed!
That is the "Red Lotus Palace Lantern", which is specially provided by the Yaoshan tribe to the direct descendants of the seven top families to use... in times of great joy.
Tang Zheng this...
Jiang Wuyan coughed twice, turned his head and said nothing.
Leng Zhan looked at Tang Xiaotang holding the palace lantern with a confused look on her face. Of course, he didn't have the leisure to go back and talk about such an unimportant matter.
Ning Mo looked at Tang Zheng, then at Tang Xiaotang, and seeing that neither of them made any comments, he decided to keep silent.
Tang Zheng, whose knowledge of the Xingyao Continent was limited to a few history books, and Tang Xiaotang, who had been stuck in Wulong Town for sixteen years and had never seen a palace lantern, did not notice anything unusual. Anyway, the lantern was indeed useful, and after the space became bright again, what the lantern looked like was naturally ignored.
"Ning Mo, you are the strongest one here, how much of your star power can still be mobilized?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Less than one percent." Ning Mo replied.
"That should be about right..." Tang Zheng said to the others, "If Senior Leng's remains are really buried in this tomb, then we will be able to see him soon..."
When they heard Tang Zheng's words, several people's eyes lit up.
Tang Zheng looked at their reactions and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "This is the first time I've seen someone so eager to see a corpse..."
