Chapter 138 Mysterious Cave
In the Marquis Xia's Palace, in the west cross-yard study, Xia Houyi and Xia Houyuan were still waiting anxiously. Seeing that the sunset was coming, Xia Houtian still did not return, and he was very worried.
"Brother, it's almost a day. Do you think Tianer is in any danger? No, I'm going to help him!"
Xiahou Yuan suddenly got up and said to Xia Houyi in a hurry. After saying that, he wanted to turn around and leave.
"Second brother, don't be impatient. It's agreed to wait at sunset!"
Although Xia Houyi's tone is calm, it is just a habit of wandering in the court for a long time. There is no joy or anger, but there is also a trace of muttering in her heart.
"Brother, why aren't you in a hurry at all? I'm just such a son. If something happens to him, how can I be worthy of his mother under the nine springs!"
"Second brother, you have always been calm. Xiaotian is also my nephew. Will I not worry?"
"Brother, that's not what I mean, hey!"
Looking at the calm eldest brother in front of him, Xia Houyuan was helpless. He patted the chair with his left hand and returned to the seat, but his expression was still anxious.
When the afterglow of the sunset shot into the room, a light fell from the sky and fell in front of the study. The light dissipated, and Xia Houtian appeared, straightened his clothes and walked in.
With a burst of footsteps, Xia Houyuan turned his head and found that his son was back. He hurried forward and grabbed his son's shoulders and looked up and down to see if there was any damage.
"Second brother, don't worry now. I said, Xiaotian will be fine!"
"God, are you all right? Didn't you say exploration? Why does it take so much time?
Looking at his father's anxious expression and tired face, Xia Houtian felt a dull pain in his heart. He quickly helped his father to the chair and said, "Father, the child is fine."
"Yes, as long as it's okay, as long as it's okay!"
Looking at the father and son showing their family affection again, Xia Houyi immediately coughed and asked Xia Houtian, "Xiaotian, can you gain anything from this trip?"
"Big uncle, guess who I met in the abandoned palace?"
"Who?"
"Peng Cheng!"
Xia Houyi suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Peng Cheng!? Is he still alive?
"Yes, he is not only alive, but also the child knows from him that he is not from my Middle-earth!"
"What?"
Xia Houyuan was so surprised to see the eldest brother who had always been calm, and couldn't help wondering: "Big brother, why are you so surprised?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing, it's just an accident!"
When Xia Houtian saw the uncle's face with a little panic, he said reluctantly. Obviously, he wanted to try his best to cover up something. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately thought that the Marquis Xia's Mansion was built by Peng Cheng, and suddenly felt that it was not simple between Uncle and Peng Cheng.
"Duncle, I heard from you the day before yesterday that Peng Cheng was also responsible for supervising the construction of the Marquis Xia's Mansion. I remember correctly!"
Xia Houyi looked at Xia Houtian in front of him. He knew that everything could not be hidden from his nephew, so he said his key point.
"Oh, Xiaotian, I really can't hide anything from you, but this Marquis Xia's Mansion is Peng Chengdujian!"
"So, the relationship between uncle and Peng Cheng should not be simple, at least not as it looks, it's just a simple relationship!"
"That's right. Brother Peng and I are also friends of gentlemen, hey..."
"Brother, what's the secret? There are no outsiders here. Just say it. Maybe God can help you!"
"Well, whatever, you can come with me!"
After saying that, Xia Houyi walked to the bookshelf and gently turned over a book. The book turned gently, and the bookshelf immediately separated and moved to both sides.
"Second brother, Xiaotian, come down with me!"
"Brother, how can there be a secret here? Why have I never heard you talk about it?"
"Second brother, when you get to the place, you will know..."
"Father, after the children's hall, you can go first."
As Xia Houyi and the three entered, the bookshelf slowly closed, and the three disappeared into the study, as if they had never appeared. The place where the bookshelf closed was not strange at all, just like an ordinary bookshelf. It seems that the designer really took a lot of effort, which can be said to be ingenious.
The long passage seems to go all the way down. Xia Houtian helped his father and slowly followed behind his uncle. The walls were illuminated with luminous stone, which was also true.
Unconsciously, the three of them came to the end of the passage. Xia Houyi gently buttoned his hand, and a flip board jumped up, revealing a mechanism. With a gentle turn, the door of the passage slowly rose, filled with a faint dust.
Xia Houtian's hand moved, and the law was used. The dust was blocked out in an instant and slowly dispersed. Behind the gate of the passage, there was actually a cave.
"Duncle, what the hell is this place?"
"Yes, big brother, why is there such a construction under the study?"
"This is what Peng Cheng made!"
"What, Peng Cheng? So, uncle has long known that Peng Cheng is not a simple person?
"After Peng Cheng built this place, I promised to keep a secret for him. Unless it is seen through, I will not say a word for the rest of my life. If it is violated, it will make our Xiahou family die!"
"What? Brother, how can you swear by the life of the whole family?
"Second brother, you don't understand. At that time, the main department was strong, and my side was in danger. Although I was awarded the title of "Prince of Pingnan" because of my military achievements, I was less powerful in the court, but pitiful. Just when I was anxious, Peng Cheng found me and said that he could solve my current predicament for me. At that time, I had no way. Thinking about it, he agreed to him. Unexpectedly, Peng Cheng was really so powerful that he made the Lord take the initiative to give up the embezzling of my collateral heart, so..."
"Duncle, so, this is the condition of Peng Cheng?"
"Not bad!"
"Didn't the uncle think about what Peng Cheng built this cave for?"
"Ha ha, everyone will be confused. There is only such a simple requirement for others to help themselves. Naturally, I also wanted to enter and see what was going on. Unfortunately, I was always blocked. In the middle of the cave, there seemed to be an invisible barrier to block it. Maybe Xiaotian, you can Looking at what it is, in fact, I also want to know what's inside!"
"Om, uncle, you and your father wait here first. I'll go in and have a look!"
Xiahou Tian secretly transported Zhenyuan, urging the guardian of Qipin Liantai. The faint colorful light fell and immediately protected it. Looking at the dark cave in front of him, Xia Houtian did not hesitate and walked in.
As soon as he entered, a strong yin qi came to his face. If it hadn't been for Xia Houtian's preparation, he would have been a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Qipin Liantai was wonderful, and the yin qi did not hinder him at all.
Continuing to move forward, I only feel that the cold air is heavier and heavier. According to reason, if it is just like this, it should not be able to stop the uncle who is already practicing the ninth level of practice, and the barrier mentioned by the uncle is not seen. Thinking of this, Xia Houtian released his consciousness and moved forward quickly.
Suddenly, the consciousness seemed to have hit something, and suddenly couldn't get in. It seemed that this was what the uncle called the barrier. As soon as he moved, Xia Houtian came to the barrier.
Through the barrier, Xiahoutian can faintly see a pool in the middle of the barrier, with a white light. Obviously, the barrier is used to protect the pool.
"Peng Cheng spent so much effort. Is it just for this? It's too much fun!"
Thinking of this, Xia Houtian felt that he had to be close to explore to find out. He was not hesitant. Zhenyuan was in his hand and hit the barrier fiercely. The barrier suddenly burst into waves. With Xia Houtian's strength, the whole cave shook and became more and more violent, as if it would collapse.
Xia Houtian paused in an instant, because he knew that once the cave collapsed, his uncle and his father would also be buried alive. Thinking of this, Xia Houtian came to the cave in an instant and said to the waiting uncle and father, " Uncle, father, go up first. You may be in danger here!"
"God, what's wrong with the violent vibration around just now?"
"Yes, Xiaotian, is there something wrong? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have promised Peng Cheng, hey!"
Xia Houyi punched on the wall and immediately printed a fist seal. Obviously, the strength was quite deep, which showed the regret in his heart.
"Father, it's okay."
"Duncle, don't do this. I don't blame you. After all, my safety is in danger. Even I will accept Peng Cheng's request at that time. You don't have to do that."
"Xiaotian, aren't you in danger?"
"These are all what I think in my heart. Uncle, don't do this. Go up with my father first. I don't care about Peng Cheng's conspiracy. I want to find out!"
"Um, Xiaotian, be careful yourself, second brother, let's go up first. Staying here will only distract Xiao Tian."
"God, you have to be careful. If it really doesn't work, don't force it."
"I know, father!"
He saw his father and uncle leave along the way. It was not until he felt that they had returned to the study that Xia Houtian turned around and walked to the cave.
