The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1226 - 642: Seven Star Dragon Lock, Breaking into the Palace (Part 2)

Inside, there was indeed a passage, but it wasn't purposefully excavated; ancient bricks and stones mixed with mud walls were around it.

By the look of it, it seemed more like a buried cellar due to collapse.

Yin Jiuge casually picked up a piece, and although the writing was blurry, he could vaguely see:

"Hanjia...thirteen cellars...twelve thousand bushels of Suzhou coarse rice...First Year of Zai Chu Era...Storekeeper Wang...Supervisor Zhang Liang"

"It is indeed a relic cellar of the Tang Hanjia Granary."

He frowned slightly, then scooped some soil from the ground, formed a mantra, and tasted it.

"Peh!"

As soon as it touched his mouth, he immediately spat it out, his face grim, "There are Gu worm eggs ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan immediately raised a torch to explore the way ahead. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The cellar wasn't very big, and they soon found the target.

In the corner of the cellar, Yin Sha Qi rose as black smoke.

A mound on the ground resembled a termite nest, full of holes, with some black insects crawling in and out.

"It's the Five Grains Corpse Worm!"

Although Long Yan'er wasn't there, Yin Jiuge was knowledgeable and urgently said, "This Gu is born from grains, its eggs can't be killed by boiling water, and once inside a human's stomach, it consumes the internal organs. It's a technique of the Qin Han Alchemist, often sealed in jars to guard tombs. It must have awakened due to Earth Qi vibrations, and the item is just below!"

Hearing this, Lv San immediately patted the demon gourd.

Buzz!

Poison bees flew out like a black cloud and devoured the Gu worms in an instant.

Only then did the group approach and began digging down along the mound.

First, they unearthed several broken clay jars.

Pre-Qin style, clearly used to seal the Gu worms.

Below the jars was a massive sculpture of a Yin Chen Wood turtle.

At this moment, the statue was covered in frost, surrounded by black fog.

On it, the full text of the "Qin Law·Land Law" was carved.

"This corresponds to Kaiyang, the Earth Vein hub,"

Yin Jiuge said in a deep voice, "The spirit wood has been tainted by the Fake Yin Bureau Evil Qi, it can only be temporarily suppressed, but my method is inscribed on the spirit wood, does anyone have a solution?"

"Leave it to me."

Lv San didn't say much, took out a Nuo mask from his arms, put it on, and started dancing the Nuodance while chanting spells, throwing fine seeds onto the Yin Chen Wood sculpture.

The seeds immediately took root and sprouted, growing into fine grass.

The originally black Yin Chen Wood quickly turned green, and the Sha Qi gradually receded.

"Is this... the Chu Witch 'Zhilan Scripture'?"

Yin Jiuge looked at Lv San with some surprise.

Being a Qin Palace Secret Blessing inheritor, he naturally recognized this rival Chu Witch's method.

Of course, these grudges had long been buried in history.

What surprised him was that he thought the Twelve Primordial Spirits entirely relied on Li Yan, but it turned out each had an extraordinary background.

The big fool Wu Ba was a Human Goblin, and the previous Gu Girl came from the Gu Sect...

It seemed after this incident, he would need to mention it more to the Sect.

Li Yan, unaware of his thoughts, asked, "Will this work?"

Yin Jiuge looked at the Yin Chen Wood and shook his head, "It's only temporarily suppressed, this Daoist must stay until the Seven Stars node is simultaneously suppressed before leaving."

Li Yan didn't waste words either and turned his head to look at Lv San.

Lv San nodded and continued the Nuodance.

Just as he trusted Long Yan'er, Li Yan believed Lv San could protect him...

...

After leaving the Hanjia Granary cellar, the group hurried to the next target.

With the map positioning, they quickly locked down the location.

This was along the Luo River, where on both sides within the brothels, rioters were rampaging under the leadership of Maitreya Sect followers, slaughtering and looting everywhere. Inside the brothel, candle flames flickered, and women screamed and cried incessantly, turning into total chaos.

The people on the street were behaving like madmen. Some even unwisely tried to rob them.

"Kill!"

At this moment, a team of garrison cavalry came riding in.

They were garrison soldiers from outside the city, finally breaking in to quell the chaos.

Li Yan, having a Daoist certificate and documents gifted by the Ministry of War, along with the lead Thousand Households knowing Madam Pei, no conflict occurred.

Swords flashed, gunshots rang out, and the garrison cavalry quickly cleared the street for them.

The Array node also showed anomalies.

Seeing a stone bridge spanning over the Luo River.

On the stone bridge, mist billowed, with a dozen corpses standing, their figures looming in the fog.

"This is Tianjin Bridge!"

"Golden Eyes Feng" swallowed and explained, "It's also not recent, during the construction of Luoyang by Emperor Yang of the Sui, he ordered Yu Wenkai to build this bridge, aligning with the 'Ecliptic', hence called the 'Ecliptic Bridge', with the Imperial City corresponding to the 'Ziwei Constellation', Luo River symbolizing the 'Heavenly River', and the Ecliptic Bridge connecting the 'Heavenly River' to the Human World."

"In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed 'Tianjin Bridge', Bai Juyi wrote, 'To the northeast of Jin Bridge and west of Beidou Pavilion, one becomes lost in poetry.' It was later burned by An Lushan and rebuilt several times..."

He knew what he had to do and quickly conveyed the crucial information.

"The Great Tang indeed had many outstanding figures..."

Yin Jiuge gazed ahead, shaken and sighed, "It seems someone had long noticed something was wrong, as the entire layout of Luoyang City corresponds to the Astrology, capable of suppressing the Fake Yin Bureau of Mang Mountain, but unfortunately it suffered military disaster, and all arrangements were disrupted."

Li Yan squinted his eyes slightly, saying solemnly, "It was probably premeditated, Zhao Changsheng's group, each an old demon, who knows what they all did back then."

Having battled these people repeatedly, he was familiar with their ways.

These individuals reincarnated multiple times, seizing bodies to be reborn, their Dao fluctuating.

Perhaps their martial power couldn't dominate absolutely, but they had to hide like rats to evade the Dharma Realm's hunt. What was terrifying was their ability to transform, lurking in various places, plotting and guiding from the shadows.

Many historical events bear their shadow.

"It's possible."

Yin Jiuge nodded, looking at the stone bridge with a heavy voice, "This node has been remodeled multiple times, there must be a Magic Artifact hanging to suppress below, let's see what it is first."

Saying so, he led the group to row a boat underneath the bridge.
