Chapter 276 Breaking into the Royal Palace at Night

A few days later, Qu Dan met two masters of the State of Chen.

One is tall and one is short, one is fat and one is thin, two completely different, but their expressions are very similar. They are equally cold, as if the whole world owes them millions of silver.

Seeing the song list, the two of them did not give him any special preferential treatment, which made the song list have no regrets.

Pei Yuanjiu introduced to the two sides with a smile. Qu Dan learned that among these two people, Liu Changsheng, who was tall and thin like a bamboo pole, and the short and fat winter melon was called Liu Sanquan. Both of them were masters of the Xuanyuan School, the first major faction of the State of Chen.

"Welcome Brother Qu to join us. This time, we will work together. As long as we get that treasure, we will definitely have a copy of Brother Qu." The short wax gourd squeezed out a stiff smile and showed kindness to the song.

Qu singles looked at the contrasting two people and muttered in his heart that these two old guys came all the way from the State of Chen and stirred up trouble in the territory of Longmen Mountain. They must not be impatient to live. I don't know what mysterious treasures there are in the palace, which makes them willing to take risks...

Qu Shan also became a little curious about the so-called treasure, and was secretly wary of the inexplicable appearance of several people in front of him. Even Pei Yuanjiu, who worshipped the Fire Gate, couldn't believe it. As long as these two people from Chen, who had nothing to do with him, as long as they caught the opportunity, they would sell him as far away, and they didn't know how to die in the end.

But think about it, these people are nothing more than the idea of letting him charge into the battle. At that time, they will fight with each other, and they will wait for the opportunity to take action and do what is profitable. However, these people are afraid that they don't know enough about his life-saving escape skills. As long as he sees the treasure and falls into his hands, it is beyond their control.

Thinking of this, Qu Dan nodded his head and said, "Well, I hope the two seniors will keep their promises."

Several people discussed the details of the distribution again. In the end, all four of them laughed. The meanings were different, and they didn't know who was calculating who.

Pei Yuanjiu opened a map, which was crisscrossed and complicated. He pointed to one of the outlined circles and said, "What we are looking for is at this location, at the top of a nine-story pagoda in the deepest part of the palace. It is a magical picture scroll. The landscape is magnificent, like a divine pen. There is a legendary skill that can break through the limit. As long as we get it, we can break through the bottleneck that we haven't broken for many years. In this picture scroll, the four people in our field can take turns to watch it. There is no conflict. Therefore, I hope everyone can work together and grab this scroll first.

Qu Dan followed Pei Yuanjiu's point, carefully memorized the topographic map of the palace twice, and memorized the position of the circle in his heart, but he thought that this position was not far from the pavilion where he followed General Zheng last time to eavesdrop on. It must be under the protection of two old monsters in the palace. At that time, there would be a fierce battle.

While listening to Pei Yuanjiu, he began to analyze the distribution of the guard force in the palace and other precautions, he thought about his own plans and how to get the picture scroll.

............

The night is like ink, which is a good time to walk at night.

Several figures appeared on the wall in the palace, paused for a while, skimming up like ghosts, and disappeared between the pavilions and pavilions. A team of guards patrolled back and forth, but found no trace of them at all.

These people are Qu Dan, Pei Yuanjiu, and Liu Changsheng and Liu Sanquan of Chen Guoxuan's original school.

Qu Dan was a little depressed at this time, because one of the advantages he relied on for survival was gone. It turned out that the nine-story tower was used by a generation of royal masters who followed the country with special skills. Within 300 feet, there was a miraculous forbidden field, that is to say, it could not fly, and the sword art of Qudan would not work there.

When Qu Dan came to Qingyuan City, he was immediately discovered by the six masters. At that time, he was flying with his sword. Therefore, it was not a secret in front of these people that Qu Dan's ability to fly. Among the awakening skills, the flight ability is extremely rare. Qu Dan has come all the way from the wild snow clan to the Oriental Holy Clan. He has never seen a master of flying. Of course, except for strange spirit beasts such as Xuanwu and Fengsheng Beast, but this does not mean that there are no strong people who can fly. In every period, there will be such a large number of awakening masters, only Most of them are collected by the big faction of the gate, and there are very few scattered. Another way to fly is to break through the limit of the six levels of awakening and rush to a higher level.

However, even among these old monsters, that situation is unimaginable, because even super factions such as Longmen Mountain and Xuanyuan School have not had such a character in hundreds of years, and even the whole holy clan, a recent awakening master who broke through the six levels of awakening and reached the seven levels of realm, is also close. It happened 200 years ago.

"For good, there is also the five-epartment escape skill. This skill was used in the palace at that time, and it should not be a problem." When Qu Dan thought like this, he finally felt a little comforted. If even the escape technique doesn't work, he promised to turn around immediately and stop dripping with this muddy water. No matter how rare the treasure is, he must have his life to get it. His ability to fight head-on now makes it difficult to deal with such an old monster.

"Hey, the Yang family's palace is really big, and I don't know how many people have been searched. If you haven't seen the map, you only need to go around three or two, you will be dizzy and talk about stealing treasures..." Pei Yuanjiu lurked in the dark, waiting for a team of guards in front of him to leave and whispered.

Several people were deeply convinced and nodded one after another.

The guards in front of him have passed, and several rabbits have fallen, and they have gone deep into several pavilions in a row. The top of the tower in the distance has been faintly visible.

"That's the tower." Pei Yuanjiu pointed out, "This tower is called Xuanji Tower. There are many mysteries and evil. As long as you enter within 300 feet, many special awakening skills will not be used, especially escape skills. I don't know what the tower is made of. The copper wall and iron wall, no matter how strong it is, can't be opened. Moreover, this tower is completely closed. Design, only at the bottom, there is a door for access..."

Pei Laoer quietly glanced at a few people and then said, "That is to say, if you want to get the treasure at the top of the tower, you can only enter through the gate at the bottom of the tower, go up one layer by layer, enter the ninth floor in turn, and then go down layer by layer, and exit from the gate. In addition, there is no other way out, so you have to steal this one. Treasure, it is extremely difficult. I have been here twice with the two Elders Liu. They were found as soon as they entered the tower gate. It was a bad battle before we were able to escape..."

"But now we have got a hidden treasure. This time, we can finally enter it silently. As long as we successfully get the things inside before the other party finds us, we will succeed. After all, there are only three of them, and they are of equal strength. They want It's impossible to stop us."

The tower is getting closer and closer. Pei Yuanjiu and the other two seem to be familiar with the path and walk well. Suddenly, an unspeakable feeling enveloped Qu Shan's whole body, which was a kind of hidden pressure, which made people extremely uncomfortable and gave birth to a sense of resistance for no reason.

"We have entered within 300 feet. The two old guys in the palace must be nearby. Everyone should restrain their breath and must not be found by them."

Pei Yuanjiu tapped his toes and drifted forward like a ghost, not even a trace of wind. Liu Changsheng and Liu Sanquan concocted it in the same way, followed closely. If their state was discovered at this time, it must be a loud scream: "Ghost!"

Qu Dan shook his head and threw away his unrealistic thoughts. The faint pressure made him really uncomfortable. He felt that he had underestimated the mysterious tower before, but he had already come here. It was really unwise to go back. He had to bury his head and go all the way to the dark. Whether it's Pei Yuanjiu's side or General Zheng's side, Qudan doesn't have much good impression. It's the most realistic thing to deal with it, make profits for himself, and then reveal the mystery of happiness and run away.

The guards near the tower are obviously dense, at least three times more than the periphery. Often, as soon as a team of guards leave, the other team comes one after another, leaving no gap in the middle.

The four people ambushed for a long time before approaching the gate at the bottom of the tower with their superb skills.

Those are two thick steel gates. As long as you look at them, you will feel extremely heavy. I'm afraid it's not less than a few thousand catties. It is really not easy to open such a door silently. Moreover, within 300 feet, the coming and going of guards adds infinite difficulty.

The song is hidden in the dark, and I only feel that a little movement will attract attention.

"All right, get ready!" Liu Sanquan, the short gourd-like master of Chen, took out a dark thing from his arms and said words in his mouth. Qu Shan only felt that the surrounding scenery shook slightly and regained his composure. Nothing has changed, but Qu Shan clearly feels that something is different from before.

The dwarf wax gourd lay there, motionless, as if it had turned into a sculpture. Qu Shan stared at him and clearly saw his outline, but he felt that he was no longer there. He closed his eyes to feel that he had nothing but air.

Amazing! What kind of ability is this!?

Qu Dan was a little stunned. These old monsters who awakened the fifth level were really not easy to fight. With this hand alone, Qu Dan was not sure to crack it. He couldn't help but be more cautious about this late-night trip. He beats geese all day long. Don't be blinded by geese.

After a while, Pei Yuanjiu beside him suddenly touched him gently and whispered, "Let's go!" Then he quietly stepped out of the shadow and jumped to the gate.

The gate of the tower is exposed to the light. If you really go out alone, you will definitely be found and will never be spared. Seeing that Pei Yuanjiu was so bold, Qu Dan almost exclaimed. However, Pei Yuanjiu's figure flashed and disappeared from his eyes, as if he suddenly walked into another invisible level and disappeared inexplicably.

At this time, Liu Changsheng, a high bamboo pole, also quietly came out, leaving only a single person in the same place.

Qu Shan pressed down the surprise in his heart and kept up closely. Walking out of the shadow, I felt a slight fluctuation in the air. After the scenery shook, it returned to its original state, but the people who had disappeared before stood in front of them openly.

Liu Sanquan, a dwarf winter melon, squinted a pair of thin eyes and stood at the door of the tower, looking warily at the guards patrolling back and forth not far away. The two steel doors have opened a crack, and the darkness inside is as if the mouth of a giant beast is about to eat all the people in front of the door. Pei Yuanjiu and Liu Changsheng entered and swaggered into the gate. The guards not far away glanced at this side from time to time, but they could not see their movements like blind people.

"Illusion!" Such an idea flashed in Qu Shan's heart, and he didn't stop at his feet, and then drilled in.

Crithe-boom-!

The big iron gate made a heavy noise and slowly closed. The short and fat body of the short winter melon flashed in at the last moment. The iron gate finally closed together. It was dark inside, and the four people were locked inside.

Of course, such darkness is nothing for Qudan. As early as many years ago, he could see things at night.

Everything returned to silence for a long time, and there was another shaking around, as if it had returned to normal from the previous magic.

Qu Dan carefully recalled Liu Sanquan's series of actions and the strange scene in front of the gate. Finally, it was determined that the short fat man must have used a special awakening skill and temporarily distorted the scenery in front of the tower. They could see it from the inside. Everything was normal, but from the outside, they could not find him. Because there is a layer of illusory things that block the sight of others.

And when the door was closed just now, the particularly harsh "cry-boom-" sound in the night did not disturb the people outside. All I can say is that this layer of illusion is even blocked.

It's really amazing!

Qu Dan knew that he didn't see through everything just now. If he was against the dwarf winter melon, he didn't know how much he had a chance of winning.

"It's okay, I haven't been found this time." Pei Yuanjiu whispered, "It's still because of Brother Sanquan's illusion that it can be so smooth."

The short fat man touched the black non-luminous beads in his hand and said, "If I didn't get this thousand magic beads this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so smooth."

Liu Changsheng, a high bamboo pole, looked at the surrounding environment and said, "This tower is dense and not a safe place. We still have a nine-story tower to go. Don't be happy too early."

He looked back and forth on the ground on the first floor. After a long time, he said, "There is a mystery on the ground. I'll go ahead. You follow my steps. Don't go wrong!" Otherwise, if you touch the mechanism, you may not die, but you will definitely attract those old guys!"

Several people nodded, waiting for his instructions.

After a long time, Gao Zhugan took a step forward. His ten fingers kept shaking, as if he were pinching the arrangement of the mechanism, and his lips kept squirming, which was dazzlingly fast.

Qu Dan could see that the other party was calculating silently, and the three of them did not dare to disturb him.

It's been a long time, and the high bamboo pole took the second step...

Step 3, Step 4, Step 5...

The song list was a little awe-inspiring. He couldn't see the mystery of the ground, but he felt the danger, because Liu Changsheng's steps were completely irregular, left and right, and occasionally suddenly took a big step forward, but the next step was half a small step... Just like he Yan, if you make a mistake, the organs here may not kill masters like them, but the movement will definitely be detected by the outside. At that time, I'm afraid it will be a failure again!

The three people followed the footprints of the person in front of them and walked forward step by step.

Time was ticking. Qu Shan quietly used the art of the imperial sword. Sure enough, he couldn't use it. The faint pressure was like a forbidden spell, which completely failed his imperial swordsmanship. Then he quietly performed the escape technique. This test suddenly broke out a burst of cold sweat, because he didn't know what magic was applied to the ground, and he couldn't escape. Go down.

It's over! There is only such an idea in the song list.

The two most powerful life-saving tricks failed, and after seeing the illusion of the dwarf winter melon and the calculation of the high bamboo pole, he has no advantage in it, and Pei Yuanjiu, an old monster, doesn't know what he is hiding. I'm afraid that when they get the treasure, it's time for them to turn against each other.

Qu Shan is more vigilant in his heart. He secretly thinks about how one person can escape from the treasure in front of three opponents who are better than himself...

Time passed silently. Qu Dan calculated in his heart that it had been three hours. They had taken 105 steps. The front high bamboo pole seemed to be stuck and did not dare to go forward. He did not move for half an hour. A layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were solemn and silent.

In the end, as if he had decided something, he stepped out fiercely, jumped three steps in a row, and finally jumped to the stairs leading to the second floor. Liu Changsheng took a long breath and felt a sense of collapse: "I don't know which abnormal design this mechanism is. There is no fixed number of paths in the last three steps, so I can only guess! Fortunately, the bet is right, otherwise you will be ready to escape.

Several people followed his steps and jumped to the stairs one after another.

"This tower is much more complicated than we thought. At this speed, I'm afraid it will take several days to reach the ninth floor. We have to prepare for a long time..." Liu Changsheng said, stepping into the second floor.

Qu Shan followed silently. I don't know when Pei Yuanjiu walked to the end and put him in the middle. It seemed that they were also worried about him, the guy who was temporarily added, and monitored him at any time.

Qu Dan looked at the second floor, and there were many ordinary furniture things on it, such as long tables, round tables and square tables, incense burner futon chairs, stools, bookshes, large wooden beds... There are all kinds of things, and they are extremely scattered, and there are many horizontally and vertically, like the scene of the crime that has been robbed by robbers for thirty or fifty times. A mysterious machine tower with these things that should not appear in it has to be said to be a strange thing.

"These furniture are very strange..." Gao Zhugan observed for a long time. "Some of them can be touched, some can't be touched, and there are no less than a hundred organs. We have to go through the middle..."

The song hummed. Isn't this nonsense? The question is how to wear it.

After a long time, Liu Changsheng began to move again. He jumped on the nearest table, squatted on it, and looked around carefully.
