Chapter 593 The Golden Palace
The eighteenth and a half-stairs are the 23rd story in the story book sent by Shi Gong. It tells of a god who hides a passage. Only by finding the eighteenth and a half-stairs can you find the exit.
When Hu You read this story in the past, he was completely inexplicable, because most of the stories in the Taishi Gong’s books were related to reality or history. This suddenly appeared a strange and fictitious god, which made Hu You unable to guess what he meant.
Hu You also had a flash of inspiration, combining the stairs with the story. According to the method in the story, you can really find a way out. As for why you don’t tell Hou San, it is naturally due to Hu You’s little selfishness.
In Hu You's opinion, story books, rings and time travel are his secrets and must not be told to others.
The palace in front of you is really huge. All the buildings are cleverly combined with the stone pillars of the mountain wall. You have me and I have you. You can't see the suddenness of the stone wall, leaving only the greatness of the palace.
Hu You had never seen what the Bauhinia dynasty's palace looked like, but he vaguely felt that the prototype of the palace destroyed by Rijkald should be similar to that here. He even boldly guessed that this might be the real Bauhinia dynasty's palace.
"Hou San, be careful, maybe there may be someone here." Hu You said in a low voice in Hou San's ear.
"Will anyone be here?" Hou San looked at Hu You in surprise.
"Everything is unpredictable, be careful," Hu You said seriously.
If this is really the underground palace of the Bauhinia Dynasty, maybe not only people, but also troops. Although the Bauhinia Dynasty has been destroyed for more than 40 years, no one should have discovered it. Peach Blossom Land can live for several generations, so it is not surprising that there are people here. There is even no problem with the water source, and as for food, there is no solution.
The entire dungeon world was very quiet. Hu You and Hou San had already taken as light as possible, and the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground from time to time came.
Seeing Hu You nodded, Hou San was alert to push open the palace gate. The gate was as high as ten people, one-fifth of the size of Langtian's current city gate, but it was not difficult to push. Hou San pushed it gently, and the palace gate opened silently. A yellow avenue appeared in front of Hou San's eyes.
"Boss, is this the legendary golden road?" Hou San was dizzy by the golden colors. In the palace, not only the roads were golden, but the roofs and eaves were also golden. Under the reflection of the night pearls, there was a brilliance everywhere.
Hu You squatted down, stroked the ground with his hand, and took it to his eyes and took it carefully. He was not checking whether the ground was real gold or whether it would fade, but whether there was dust falling on the ground.
The air here is very fresh and clean, but it is impossible to have no dust at all. In Hu You's opinion, if it had been empty here for more than 40 years, the ground should be very dirty.
However, this check surprised Hu You. It was not that his hands were very clean, but that there was relatively little dust falling.
Only from this point, Hu You's calculations about people here. If someone hadn't cleaned frequently, this would definitely not be the case.
Either there is no gray or thick gray is a proof of no one.
Hu You winked Hou San and carefully observed the movements around him. Hou San had screamed in surprise before. With the quietness here, it must have been heard far away. Here, maybe they had discovered their intrusion, and they were hiding somewhere now, peeping at them.
Hou San looked a little funny, with a nervous face, but he was not wearing pants. His ragged body was incompatible with the magnificent here. Even with the property certificate here, he did not believe that he was the owner of this place.
Hu You's appearance was not much better than Hou San. After such a series of tosses, his clothes were wrinkled and almost the same as those found in the garbage dump. Fortunately, he was wearing pants, otherwise he would have to swim naked again.
"Is there anyone? My brothers mistakenly entered the treasure land. If you have any trouble, please don't be surprised."
Hu You thought about it and just came out. As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid the open gun, but it is difficult to prevent the hidden arrows. If there are really people here, everyone will sit here and talk, it will be better.
While entering, he shouted a few words from time to time. The voice echoed in the dungeon, but he did not get the other party's response.
Hou San said: "Boss, I'm afraid there is no one here."
"Let's walk in and look." Hu You pointed to the main hall and said to Hou San.
The main hall is the place where the emperor is in charge. If there are really people living here, there should be a trace of clues to the main hall.
There were eighteen pillars, carved beams and painted buildings, which were extremely elegant. The main hall was also quiet, and there was no one. However, Hu You checked several places and found that it was spotless. If there was no special reason to keep it so clean, it was that someone was cleaning the hygiene here. Hu You is not sure about it now, there are people here. But the probability of someone increased by 10%.
He also shouted a few words of disturbances, but still didn't return. Hu You thought for a while and pointed to a small door behind the main hall. Now Hu You is already very familiar with the layout of the palace. According to the regular layout of the palace, the small door behind the main hall is the place where the harem goes directly to. In other words, you can go directly to the harem from here. The harem is naturally a place where people live. If there are really people living here, you can definitely see it in the harem.
As he approached the small door step by step, Hu You had already adjusted his alertness to the highest level. Every step he took had to calculate whether there would be danger. After encountering danger, he had to consider how to hide.
When he was only one meter away from the small gate, a strange thing broke out in Hu You's heart. It was a dangerous signal.
The crisis reactions learned in the bloody battlefield are absolutely unfavorable. Hu You made a quick decision without thinking, and slid backwards with a slanted step. At almost the same time, Hou San also slid out in the opposite direction.
‘Puchi pudchi pudchi…’
A row of hundreds of arrows shot out from the sky under the control of the mechanism. The flat floor suddenly turned into a hedgehog.
This situation made Hu You take a breath of cold air. Unfortunately, the reaction was fast, or it would be half a second to be slower, and this life would have to be explained here.
"Hou San, are you okay?" Hu You shouted. When he discovered the danger, he had already warned Hou San at the same time. With Hou San's reaction, there should be no problem.
"Don't worry, boss, I can't die." Hou San grinned and replied. Because he was a little slower, he was much embarrassed than Hu You, and he was half rolling out. Because he had no pants protection, he wiped heavily on the ground, and the pain made him cry.
Hu You waited for the three things and felt relieved. He waited for a few minutes and saw that there would be no more arrows shot out, so he turned it out again.
"What a great mechanical tool." Hu You looked at the arrows that shot all over the ground again. Compared with these, Weiwei's mechanical tool genius was too far behind. She couldn't make a shutdown that could fire hundreds of arrows at the same time. Not to mention that Weiwei was even worse in the design of the machine's nitride.
Hu You knew very well. He just gently touched a floor tiles. According to the conventional mechanism, when Hu You stepped on the floor tiles, it should have been concave and triggered the shutdown. But just now, the floor tiles did not sink at all, but just trembled slightly. If Hu You hadn't felt sensitive, he wouldn't have noticed them.
"Boss, do we still want to continue?" Hou San's face was very serious. He was worried about some false things before, but now he is really seeing the truth.
As the head of the army's intelligence, Hou San is not a vegetarian. After such a series of changes, he can basically be sure that there should be people living here, and they are hostile to themselves.
"If they don't come out, of course we have to take the initiative." Hu You laughed proudly. Retreat and bring reinforcements. On the surface, it seems that the best way is. But this method will definitely not work. Are they not stupid, and will you easily go back to bring reinforcements?
The small door leading to the harem was pushed open. Just like Hu Youxuan thought, a small path came out behind the door. The path was winding and secluded, and there was no head at a glance. Both sides of the corridor were full of calligraphy and calligraphy, with flowers and grass, but no birds or fish in the pond, which seemed to be inactive.
There was no mechanism for the corridor, which was discovered by Hu You carefully touched it. After walking through the corridor, Hu You stopped.
A little girl dressed in a palace maid appeared in Hu You's sight. The little palace maid's dress was somewhat similar to those in the Ningnan Empire Palace, but not quite the same. She looked very pure at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and her eyes were very big, and she looked at Hu You and Hou San strangely. These two people are probably the only outsiders she has ever seen since she was born.
Hou San was not wearing pants, and the little palace maid looked a little embarrassed. His face was thinner than Hu You. If he chose Hu You like this, he would definitely be very natural.
Hu You didn't say anything and looked at the little palace maid quietly. Since he had already made a move, he had to see how he was preparing for it first and then think about how to deal with it.
Hu You never fears when he gets involved in acquaintance. As long as the other party is willing to talk, he will be able to convince others. No matter what method he uses, he is confident that he has the ability and does have the ability.
"Please come with me, young master." The little palace maid bowed first before speaking. Her voice was very sweet, her pronunciation was round and sounded very comfortable.
Hu You noticed that the little palace maid only said "Young Master" instead of "Two Young Masters". Judging from her meaning, she was to rank Hou San outside.
Hu You was a little curious about how this little palace maid knew that he was the person who was talking about it, not Hou San. Is it just because Hou San was not wearing pants?
Hu You thought for a while and said, "I don't know who the princess in the girl's mouth is referring to?"
The little palace maid didn't say anything this time, just looked at Hu You. In fact, since she appeared, she only glanced at Hou San, and never looked at Hou San again. Her eyes were always on Hu You.
Hu You shook his head and said, "Miss, you are wrong. He is my young master. I am just a servant. You know, it's just like you."
Hou San didn't know what Hu You were playing again this time, but Hu You said he was the young master, so he naturally stood up and looked like a young master. This is to follow Hu You. If it were the first person, he would be a young master without pretending to be a young master. In the Immortal Legion, his status has already ranked in the top ten, saying that he was the young master, which is a waste of this.
Unfortunately, Hou San was glaring at the blind man this time, and the little palace maid didn't look at him at all.
Seeing the little palace maid's shiny big eyes, Hu You really scratched his head. For the first time, he felt regret that he should not deceive others. Of course, this is just a matter of momentum. If you want to live long, you have to compare methods. It is understandable to deceive others. Hu You's mentality will not be affected by this.
Since they have already decided that they are young masters, Hu You didn't plan to get involved in this issue. He changed his method and said, "Does your master only invite me? Can he go in with me?"
The little palace maid then glanced at Hou San, and shook her head there just a glance.
Hu Youxin said that this girl was very good at making a big name. I said a few words here, but she didn't reply. It wasn't that she didn't respond, but she was shaking her head. The young master still didn't believe it, and he had to make you speak.
Hu You was a little childish now. However, his biggest purpose was to try the reaction of this little palace maid to judge her master's attitude.
"I came with him, why can I go in? He can't go in? If you don't give me a reason, I won't go."
In order to put pressure on the little palace maid, Hu You said this and waited for a second or two. Seeing that she didn't respond, she waved to Hou San and said, "It's not fun at all. Let's go back to have a meal."
Hou San was amused in his heart, thinking that he was here to play. But if Hu You wanted to do this, he naturally cooperated and looked like he was about to leave.
"You, you can't leave." After all, the little palace maid is still a little girl and has not experienced much. She can't play with the two bad guys Hu You and Hou San. She thought they were really leaving, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Why can't we leave? Can you still arrest us? Let me tell you, Mr. Guan is very familiar with me. If you dare to touch me, Mr. Guan will definitely arrest you." Hu You saw that there were tears in the little palace maid's eyes, and he knew that it would be enough to scare her again.
The little palace maid was indeed anxious and whimpered: "You are the successor and cannot leave. We have been waiting for you for many years before we wait for you. If you really can't leave, the princess will scold me. Grandma Zhang died, Grandpa Wu died, and Miss Xiaolin is about to die..."
The little palace maid cried so hard that her pear blossoms were raining, and her little mouth kept spitting out her names. Although Hu You didn't know who those people were, he at least got some information he thought about.
It seems that there are many people living here.
What does the successor she said mean?
Seeing the little palace maid’s sad look, Hu You really couldn’t bear it. But now he is in a dangerous place, it’s not a time to regret flowers.
"Well, seeing you crying so sadly, we won't leave for the time being. But he and I came together, you can't let us separate."
Seeing that Hu You stopped leaving, the little palace maid stopped crying. However, she did not agree to bring Hou San in. Obviously, she received some instructions when she came. She dared not take action.
"If you can't decide, you can ask you the princess." Hu You reminded the little palace maid.
The little palace maid looked at Hu You, thought about it again, then nodded and said, "When I saw you, ask the palace master, please don't run away secretly."
Hu was worried about what this is called, do I need to run away? I ran openly, what can you do to me?
He signaled to the little palace maid that he would not leave. Seeing the little palace maid turn around and walk back, Hu You waved his hand and took Hou San to follow him.
No matter when, it is better to take the initiative than passiveness. Although this place is someone else's territory, it is not necessarily impossible to take any advantage. Besides, how could he be a rule-abiding person?
The fool is waiting here.
The little palace maid didn't seem to know that Hu You and Hou San were following her, walking through the mansion and going inside. Although she was petite and could walk very quickly, Hu You had to trot all the way to follow her closely.
The little palace maid finally came to a pavilion. Hu You looked over from a distance and there was a woman in white in the pavilion. She should be a few years older than the little palace maid, because her back was facing here, Hu You couldn't see her face. It seemed that she was the princess in the little palace maid's mouth.
The mysterious place, the mysterious woman, made Hu You feel like a cat scratching, eager to know what was going on.
The little palace maid should be reporting something to her princess, nodding from time to time and shook her head, a little anxious and a little aggrieved.
After a while, she stopped talking and ran towards her.
Hu You originally wanted to hide, but there was no place here, so he let it go. It would be troublesome to hide. The little palace maid could not find him later, and I don’t know what happened again.
The little palace maid soon arrived near, but she was not surprised to see Hu You. It seemed that she had known that Hu You were here for a long time.
"How about it, what do you say about your princess?" Hu You asked carelessly without any embarrassment.
The little palace maid said, "The princess said: You are not capable of bullying the little girl. She will not meet anyone except you. If you have the courage, go over to see her. If you don't have the courage, then you will leave."
"Ah?" Hu You looked at the woman in white and thought to himself that this woman was really powerful, much better than this little palace maid. He calculated that he would not leave, so he deliberately angered him so much.
Just talk, just talk. Since you have already come in, it is not so easy to leave at will.
Hu You glanced at Hou San and thought to himself that it would be too rude to see the princess in this way. It would be enough to bring him here, so don't cause any more trouble.
Hu You nodded and said, "Okay, then please ask the palace maid to guide you."
The little palace maid's face suddenly turned red and she said shyly: "I am not the palace maid's sister, I am Li'er."...
