Chapter 994 Success
Half an hour later, in the basement of Xinfeng Palace.
The dark tunnel was covered with dirt on all sides, and the wooden supporting frame was crooked.
Walking in the tunnel with a torch in hand, Wei Changtian slowed down his pace and asked Xu Suisui behind him:
"Did you hire someone to dig it?"
"Well, we started digging two months ago."
Xu Suisui nodded: "It can lead directly to the core of the Qi Gathering Array."
"Hasn't it been discovered by the Buddhists?"
Wei Changtian frowned: "You dug such a long tunnel right under their noses, and they didn't notice it at all?"
"Humph, you think I am the emperor for nothing."
Seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Changtian's doubts, Xu Suisui muttered softly: "Of course I have a way to hide it from them."
"It's not like they are guarding the underground formation all day long. Besides, who would have thought that someone would come to steal the golden relic?"
"Too."
Looking back, Wei Changtian didn't dwell too much on this matter.
Anyway, he must take this golden relic away.
Even though it might not help him break through to the first level, the first-level internal force contained in it could allow him to possess the strength of the first level in a short period of time, which was especially crucial whether he was facing Qin Zhengqiu or Chu Xianping.
Of course, normally I shouldn't be so anxious. At least I should come and check out the place a few times and come up with a plan.
However, time was too tight. In order to reach Fangcun Mountain before the second day of February, Wei Changtian could not stay in Fengyuan for too long, so he had to take action directly.
"No matter what happens later, don't run around."
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian warned again: "Stay with me, we will retreat after we get the golden relic."
"If you get into any trouble, don't blame me for not saving you."
"Yes, I know."
Xu Suisui also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he did not argue with Wei Changtian. He just gently pulled the latter's sleeve and responded very seriously:
"If an accident really happens, just run away first and don't worry about me."
“.”
After glancing at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian said nothing more.
The two of them quickened their pace and walked along the tunnel in silence for about an incense stick of time.
Then, when Wei Changtian carefully pushed open a stone door at the end of the tunnel, an underground "tomb" that was many times larger than the Qi gathering array in Yun'an Temple appeared in front of the two.
"boom"
The stars and the moon are in the sky, and the night is dark.
At midnight, accompanied by a muffled sound coming from nowhere, the entire Fengyuan City suddenly shook.
It was like an extremely short earthquake. After just a moment, the vibration disappeared, and only the swaying candlelight proved that it was not an illusion.
"Boss! Wake up! Why did you shake just now?"
"Huh? Why are you shaking? You must have been confused from sleep."
"Oh my! The bed was really shaking just now!"
"Okay, I have to go to work tomorrow morning, stop arguing."
“.”
For a time, countless similar discussions were heard in every house in Fengyuan.
Some people who are not sleeping deeply can feel the shaking, but they don’t know why it happens. After a moment of confusion, they often fall asleep again.
Indeed, for ordinary people, this is not a big deal.
However, the expressions of several Buddhist monks in the palace suddenly changed. They quickly rushed out of the room and turned into black shadows running in the same direction.
In less than a quarter of an hour, four Buddhist monks with solemn expressions stood in front of a huge lotus platform, their eyes full of vigilance and doubt.
"There must have been something wrong with the Qi Gathering Array just now."
After a careful inspection, someone frowned and said, "But the golden relic is still there, and the formation is still running smoothly."
"But the concentration of internal energy nearby is clearly wrong."
Another person leaned over and looked at the lotus pond for a few times: "This shows that the internal energy stored in the relic has indeed leaked out a little bit."
"Could it be that someone intended to steal the relics?"
"It's possible, but this person didn't succeed for some reason."
"It is also possible that there is something wrong with the formation."
"Well, let's take turns guarding here for now."
After a brief discussion, the four found that there was nothing unusual about the Qi Gathering Array except for the leakage of some internal energy. They decided not to act rashly for the time being, but to report the matter back to the White Horse Temple first.
While they were discussing countermeasures, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui had already returned to the latter's bedroom.
Contrary to the judgment of the four Buddhist monks, the two men had actually succeeded.
The reason why it did not cause a huge explosion like the one in Yun'an Temple, and the Buddhists did not notice anything wrong, was because Wei Changtian used a trick of "substituting one thing for another".
While taking away the golden relic, he put the golden relic obtained from the Yun'an Temple Qi Gathering Array back to its original place, completing the "switch".
Because the functions of the golden relics are the same, except for a small amount of internal force leaking out during the substitution process, causing a brief vibration, the entire Qi gathering array was not damaged and can continue to operate.
This not only temporarily deceived the Buddhists, but also prevented the entire Fengyuan city from being bombed into ruins.
So through the "substituting a cat for a prince" trick, Wei Changtian easily "exchanged" for a golden relic containing a large amount of first-grade internal energy.
"Well, the internal force is indeed about twice as much as the previous one."
In the bedroom, Wei Changtian nodded to Xu Suisui and carefully put the golden relic into his arms.
Now that he has got the things, he naturally won't waste time in Fengyuan.
"I'm leaving. The Buddhists shouldn't suspect anything for now."
"But you still have to fill up the tunnel as soon as possible."
"If they really come looking for you, just deal with them first, and wait until I finish dealing with the matter of Fangcun Mountain."
After giving Xu Suisui a few simple instructions, Wei Changtian grabbed the teapot on the table, took a sip of water, and prepared to leave.
But before he could take a step, he heard Xu Suisui suddenly say, "I want to go to Fangcun Mountain, too."
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands impatiently: "What are you going to do? Are you going to cause trouble for me?"
"I won't cause you any trouble."
Xu Suisui walked a little closer and answered very seriously: "Wei Changtian, if you die this time, I will never be able to go back."
"There will be no point in me living then. I might as well go with you and die together."
"And I also have a system that can help you better than anyone else."
“.”
Staring straight at Wei Changtian, Xu Suisui's tone was extremely serious, even a little stubborn.
The impatience on Wei Changtian's face gradually faded away, and he looked back at Xu Suisui, as if thinking about something.
In fact, what Xu Suisui said was not wrong.
Although she is not a warrior, the help she can provide exceeds that of any other person just because she has a system.
But if Xu Suisui had to go with him, it was just to help him. "Do you think it's possible for me to ascend to heaven directly this time?"
After a while, Wei Changtian slowly asked: "So you don't want to miss this opportunity?"
"yes."
Xu Suisui admitted it without hesitation.
"Wei Changtian, if the secret of ascending to the immortal world is true, this is actually an opportunity for us."
"If you eventually defeat Qin Zhengqiu and Chu Xianping, then maybe you can take me back."
"And if you lose, then as you said, we may never be able to go back in this life."
"So I must go with you. I will help you as much as I can. I won't regret it even if I die."
“.”
The dim candlelight swayed slightly, illuminating Xu Suisui's peaceful face.
To be honest, this was the first time Wei Changtian saw her so determined to do something.
To put it bluntly, in Xu Suisui's opinion, if Qin Zhengqiu or Chu Xianping ascended to heaven this time, she would never have the chance to go home again.
That's why she is willing to take the risk.
In fact, compared to Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian has more options for retreat, because his obsession with "going home" is not as strong as the former's.
The same will apply to this trip to Fangcun Mountain. If he really cannot defeat Qin Zhengqiu and Chu Xianping by then, Wei Changtian will not fight to the death. He will most likely save his life first and then slowly find a solution later.
Even though he may never be able to go back. From this point of view, Wei Changtian is undoubtedly more rational, and Xu Suisui is more "stupid".
But this time, Wei Changtian didn’t think there was anything wrong with Xu Suisui’s “stupidity”.
After all, everyone's pursuits are always different.
"Okay, go if you want."
Sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian reminded him one last time: "But you have to understand that you are very likely to die this time."
"Well, of course I do."
Xu Suisui still did not hesitate at all: "I won't regret it."
".Then pack up quickly and go."
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian said nothing more.
In fact, he really wanted to ask Xu Suisui why he had such a strong obsession with "going back", even one that transcended life and death.
However, he did not ask until Xu Suisui ran behind the screen, changed into casual clothes, and stood in front of him again.
Perhaps, this question can only be answered when he and Xu Suisui really meet again in that world.
