Chapter 327 Who would have thought that there were mechanisms in this dungeon?
Shang Buqun and Jun Mo both retreated outside the palace at the same time. Fortunately, this ghost place was remote and they made such a big noise without attracting the guards.
"Your Highness, don't you have rich combat experience? You go first!" Shang Buqun retorted with the same words that Jun Mo had used to retort him.
Jun Mo didn't mind using his power to pressure others: "How dare you, a subject, let me go first?"
"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit shameless to use your status to pressure others at this moment?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If we can't get through this today, someone will find out tomorrow. If we alert the enemy, it will be difficult to come back! We must see the Sixth Prince today!" Jun Mo didn't waste any more words with him, and gritted his teeth and prepared to go.
As his body flew forward, a burst of force sprayed towards the insect.
Shang Buqun was not willing to be outdone, and did the same thing behind him, also releasing a stream of internal force.
In an instant, the room was filled with flying poisonous insects.
Jun Mo and Shang Buqun continued to use their internal energy to kill the poisonous insects while preventing them from getting on themselves.
How could this dilapidated palace withstand such destruction?
After a few hits, Qinghe Palace could no longer withstand the powerful internal strength of the two men, and after a series of "creaking!", it collapsed with a loud bang.
The two flew out in time before the palace collapsed.
They were both dumbfounded as they watched the palace collapse in front of them.
"How can a palace be so fragile?" Shang Buqun complained, his eyes full of anger. "Now, His Highness the Sixth Prince will not be crushed to death in there, right?"
"No!" Jun Mo relied on his experience and flew to the pile of ruins. "There should be a secret passage here. Before the guards come, come up and help find the secret passage."
But after searching around, they didn't find a single ghost.
Just as they were frowning, an old hand stretched out from the ruins, and a hoarse and rough voice sounded: "You are finally here?"
"Ah! Ghost!" Shang Buqun suddenly rushed to Jun Mo, hugged Jun Mo's arm tightly and trembled.
Jun Mo glanced at Shang Buqun with disgust: "You are useless! You are the Prime Minister! You are afraid of ghosts?"
"I, I'm not afraid of anything, except those illusory things, which are too mysterious!" Shang Buqun's teeth were trembling. He was completely different from the proud and arrogant child of destiny in the past.
If Yu Jiuer saw him in this horrible state, she would laugh for ten years.
"I'm not a ghost! Don't be afraid!"
A hoarse voice came to his ears again. Shang Buqun closed his eyes tightly. He was so scared that he almost pissed himself. He unconsciously held Jun Mo's arm tighter.
Jun Mo exerted a little force and pushed Shang Buqun away like he was chasing away a fly. How could it be proper for two grown men to hug each other like this?
Shang Buqun plucked up his courage, pointed at the dark figure that was struggling to slowly climb out of the rubble not far away and shouted: "You, you, you... who are you? Who are you trying to scare by pretending to be a ghost?"
"I am the old eunuch guarding this palace. You come when I say so. It's just a few poisonous insects. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" The old eunuch chattered while sitting on the ruins.
"It's obvious that if you light a torch and get closer, the Gu insects will give way. Is it necessary to use such a big move? Do you have too much strength to use? Aren't you afraid of attracting the guards?"
He touched his butt and continued to wail, "I'm afraid my old bones are going to fall apart!"
Jun Mo remembered what the boy who gave him the note said before, and said in a positive tone: "You were the one who gave him the note!"
"Ahem!" The old eunuch admitted generously after a cough, "That's right! But I didn't expect you to take so long to come. I thought my old bones couldn't wait any longer!"
"Can you cough?" Shang Buqun then confirmed that the person in front of him was a human, because ghosts cannot cough.
Shang Buqun twisted his neck, regained his former momentum, and asked, "The note didn't say there was a trap in the Qinghe Hall! Next time, please ask the Sixth Prince to write more clearly. Where is he?"
As a writer, he hated this kind of concise notes the most. Couldn't he write a few more words to express it in more detail?
The old eunuch pointed to the pavilion in front that had not collapsed yet and said, "There is a switch under the steps of the pavilion. Turn it to the left to open the secret door under the steps. Go down along the long steps inside, keep going down..."
As the old eunuch spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and finally he seemed to have fallen asleep... and there was no sound?
Jun Mo flew over to sniff his breath and said, "This time, he really turned into a ghost!"
Shang Buqun shuddered: "Bad luck! Let's go!"
As he said this, he walked towards the pavilion that the old eunuch pointed to.
Sure enough, I felt a switch under the stairs and turned it to the left. The secret door under the stairs opened, and a long staircase with no bottom appeared in front of me.
There was no light inside, it was pitch black and extremely creepy.
Shang Buqun stood there and stretched his head downwards, not daring to take a step forward. He muttered, "This looks like the road to hell, you..."
He was about to ask Jun Mo to go down first, but Jun Mo came up without saying a word and pushed him away: "Don't tell anyone else when you go out. You and Princess Jing are friends, and she can't afford to lose this person!"
After saying this, he took out the lighter from his arms and walked down the stairs.
Shang Buqun shouted behind him: "Who are you looking down on?"
He followed Jun Mo downstairs with a nervous look on his face. The further he walked, the more he felt the negative energy surrounding him. He unconsciously pulled out the jade pendant hanging around his neck to give himself courage.
This jade pendant is magical. It can actually emit a faint light. It is particularly bright in this dark basement.
Jun Mo turned his head to look at him, snorted coldly, kicked the fire starter in his hand towards the wall lamp, emitting a faint flame, and then walked down the stairs with the help of Shang Buqun's jade pendant light.
But just as the two of them reached the end, they were faced with sharp swords!
Jun Mo and Shang Buqun flew up at the same time.
"That old man died at a really bad time. Instead of talking so much nonsense before, why didn't he save some energy to talk about how to shut down the mechanism here? Who could have thought that there were mechanisms in this dungeon?" Shang Buqun complained while dodging.
Jun Mo couldn't help but scold him: "Stop talking so much, why not save some energy to deal with the sword formation!"
"This Prime Minister doesn't even take a sword formation seriously!" Shang Buqun grasped the switch that triggered the sword formation and threw a piece of silver at it, and the sword formation stopped immediately.
Shang Buqun landed on the ground with both feet and said proudly: "Yu Jiuer is right. When you go out, you must carry money with you!"
All this made Shang Buqun feel that there was some "human touch" here, and it was no longer as creepy as hell, so he felt a lot more relieved.
Jun Mo glanced at Shang Buqun calmly, and when he saw him opening his mouth to speak to save his position, he reminded him in time: "Don't talk nonsense, there are traps inside, don't take it lightly!"
Life is at stake! Shang Buqun then shut his mouth and listened attentively.
Sure enough, as soon as the two men walked into a corridor, the ground under their feet began to sink, and then, without warning, the walls on both sides of the corridor quickly squeezed towards them.
"If you don't want to be crushed into a meat patty, run!"
Before Shang Buqun finished speaking, he had already rushed forward and then flew forward like a flying sword.
Jun Mo, who had originally opened his arms to resist the pressure from the wall, had no choice but to fly forward.
It happened in a flash. Just as Jun Mo flew out of the corridor, the two walls suddenly stuck together with a "bang".
"That was a close call! My Lord, are you born to seek abuse? This wall obviously has 'bad intentions', why are you still wasting your energy to fight it? If I don't shout, are you still going to use your power to destroy it?"
This time, Shang Buqun finally found words to mock Jun Mo.
Jun Mo snorted coldly and said seriously: "The commander cannot abandon the city easily. This is a belief engraved in his bones. People like you are better off not joining the army, so as to avoid being accused of desertion!"
"I don't care!"
The two continued walking forward, and finally saw from afar a man chained in a dungeon. When he saw them, he hurriedly dragged the chain and ran towards them.
"careful!"
As his voice rang out, Jun Mo and Shang Buqun shot a barrage of arrows at him from all directions.
The two were so busy dealing with the arrows that they had no time to pay attention to the thing that suddenly fell on their heads.
This thing was not big, and neither of them took it seriously. They just used their internal strength to push it upwards.
But this thing kept spinning with great force, and the two were caught off guard, and were covered by this strange net, just like the prey they were in the autumn hunt, but this time they were inside the net.
Shang Buqun also joked: "This is the first time I've been caught in a net. It's nice to experience it! But why is this net so strange? What's that sticky thing in the hollow part?"
Jun Mo held up the net above his head with one hand and swung his sword to chop it with the other, but he found that the net was very tough and the sword could not cut it at all, and the hollow parts of the net were covered with a sticky, transparent thick film.
Jun Mo and Shang Buqun both thought of using their internal energy to push away this strange cover.
But who would have thought that this thing would absorb internal energy and grow bigger and bigger.
In an instant, it almost filled the entire room.
Shang Buqun jumped up and kicked it, and felt that the hollow part that was flexible just now suddenly turned into transparent glass, which was extremely hard.
Jun Mo swung his sword to chop it but failed to move it at all, it was very solid.
Shang Buqun shouted at the person who rushed over: "Are you the Sixth Prince?"
"Exactly! Are you the people invited by the Eighth Princess? Thank you for your help!"
Jun Mo and Shang Buqun looked at each other strangely, with surprise in their eyes. They were obviously very close to each other, but why did the sound that reached their ears seem to be very far away and could not be heard clearly?
