Chapter 403
Zhang Xiaohua went up to the roof and bent down. He put his ear to the roof and listened carefully. He heard a respectful voice in the hall say, "But Commander, I am very grateful that you think so highly of this lowly one and allowed this lowly one to see such a secret."
Another slightly older voice sounded, "Bannerman Gao, you've done a great service by being able to gather enough girls within the stipulated time limit. Not to mention that you should be rewarded, this mission alone is a test for the Bannermen. We all have important matters to attend to, so we can't stay here for long. This manor is the foundation of our Roaring Sky Order. If there's no one who's skilled enough to manage it, we won't be at ease."
Banner Leader Gao's voice trembled as he said, "Could it be … Commander … This, this, this lowly one's ability is shallow. I'm afraid that I won't be able to live up to your expectations."
The commander said, "It's fine. Banner Leader Gao, oh, I should call you Steward Gao in advance. What we mean is that we should set up a steward's group above the steward and select a few stewards to take charge of the affairs within the command. What do you think?"
Banner Leader Gao was a little disappointed but also a little excited. He said, "That's how it should be. But Commander, thank you for your promotion and care."
Then, one of them complimented the other, and the other enjoyed the compliment. They actually talked a lot of nonsense. Seeing that the sky was already dark, Zhang Xiaohua felt very helpless. She was about to go down the roof and find a person or two to capture and ask about the details when she heard Banner Leader Gao say, "Commander is indeed talented and bold. If it wasn't for Commander, this lowly one wouldn't have dreamed that there would be such a spacious underground hall under this hall that's only a few feet wide."
When the commander heard this, he laughed softly and said, "Steward Gao, you praise us too much. The underground hall wasn't our work. It already existed long before we took over this manor."
Manager Gao seemed a little awkward, forcing out a smile, "That is also because of your good fortune. Otherwise, such a good thing wouldn't have been sent to you."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "These two people have spoken so much nonsense. This young master has drunk so much cold wind on this roof. Only this sentence is the most effective.
But, is the entrance to the underground hall inside the hall? "
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Do I still need to find the entrance now?
Then, Zhang Xiaohua flipped over and landed lightly. She was like the wind and did not attract the attention of the commander in the hall. Before her body landed, Zhang Xiaohua had already formed a seal. When her body landed on the ground, she immediately burrowed into the soil. At this moment, a man holding a tray in his hand was wiping his eyes vigorously. He asked the person beside him, "Brother, did you see a figure land on top of the hall just now?
Why did it disappear as soon as it landed? "
The person beside him laughed and said, "Seventh brother, could it be that you have gone crazy from holding it in these few days?
Who can disappear after landing on the ground?
Even if one's lightness skills are superb, there should still be a figure left behind. "
"It's true. I really saw it just now. It must be right."
"Forget it, seventh brother. The sky is so dark. How could you see it? It must be an illusion."
"No, I just saw it with the help of the light in the hall.
How could it be an illusion? "
"Then, seventh brother, why don't you go to the hall now and report to the vice commander? What do you think?"
"This … forget it. Maybe I really saw wrongly?"
The few of them walked away while the seventh brother looked back from time to time. He really didn't believe that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't know that she had been seen by others. She was using the Earth Escape technique and delightedly went down. Sure enough, after a while, her eyes lit up. Under the hall, there was actually a spacious space that was several times bigger than the hall above ground. And in this space, there were actually countless jade coffins!
"This … why are there so many coffins here?
And they are even coffins made of jade! "
Zhang Xiaohua was very puzzled.
These jade coffins were arranged in a very strange way. They were scattered on the ground, and in the center, there was a dark green grass praying mat.
Looking at the position of these coffins around the praying mat in the center, Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. This seemed to be a kind of array. If each coffin was replaced with a talisman, then it would be an extremely strange array.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to use her divine sense. She could only roughly see with her eyes. After counting carefully, there were actually a total of seventy-seven jade coffins. Most of the coffins had their lids open. Only the coffins near the center were tightly closed.
Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin with her hand and pondered. "Could it be that these coffins are used to store girls?
Could it be that the commander used this array to collect girls' primordial yin? "
"That's not very possible.
In Elder Huo's jade bamboo slips, there was no mention of an array that could collect girls' primordial yin. "
However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to pursue the matter further. The most important thing was to see if Little Orange was here.
Indeed, starting from the periphery, there was a girl lying in each coffin with its lids open. They were dressed differently, but they were all below the age of twenty. There were even a few children who looked like they were only a few years old. The little girl that Zhang Xiaohua saved in Lu Town was also among them.
When Zhang Xiaohua walked to the center, indeed, she saw Little Orange lying quietly in one of the coffins. Her face was a little pale, but her expression was serene. Her breathing was long and deep, as if she was in a deep sleep.
Zhang Xiaohua stood in front of Little Orange's coffin. Her hanging heart finally settled down. As long as she could find Little Orange, and it seemed that she wasn't in any danger, then she could answer to Nie Qianyu who was waiting bitterly in Ping Yang City.
But what was Little Orange's situation now?
Zhang Xiaohua had no idea in her heart.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua carefully looked at the jade coffin that contained Little Orange. The jade coffin seemed to be of good quality. There was a dark green color in the pure white jade, and on the surface of the jade, there were many mysterious patterns. Looking at the lid at the side, there were also complicated patterns. Zhang Xiaohua understood in her heart that this coffin was really a huge talisman. What she usually used and made were just small jade slips, but this array was so powerful that it used such a huge jade coffin.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's mind lit up. She suddenly understood that this array was not an array to remove a person's vital yin. In Venerable Fire Dragon's jade slip, it mentioned a more evil array. It was an array that used a person's vital essence or life as the foundation of the talisman. The purpose of this array was not to attack or defend, but to use heaven-defying methods to achieve extraordinary benefits for the caster, such as increasing one's lifespan, or raising one's cultivation level, etc.
It seemed that the token master above her should also know some Immortal Dao arrays. That was why he found 22 girls on the 2th of July and used the lives of these 22 innocent girls to achieve his heaven-defying goal.
Instantly, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She already had a plan in her heart.
"What is chivalrous?
Seeing injustice, drawing one's sword to help is chivalrous. Since I saw such a thing today, how can I let it go?
Only saving Little Orange is a kind of righteousness. Only by killing the token master, saving these girls and cutting off the source of this array is chivalrous. "
"Moreover, I don't have many jade slips with me. The last time I made jade talismans for mother, father and the rest, I have already used them all. Now that there are good jade materials, if I don't take them, wouldn't I be a sucker?
It's better to let someone else take the lead. "
However, Zhang Xiaohua was in a bit of a difficult situation. These seventy-seven jade coffins were spread throughout the entire hall, far from being able to fit in the space in his money pouch. Furthermore, weren't there girls in the coffins? He couldn't just casually put the girls on the ground, right?
Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. We can't take the coffins, but we can take the coffin lids. There is a lot of space in my money bag and the coffin lids don't take up much space. It is a good item to take. Moreover, if I use my divine sense slightly, it should not be noticed by the bronze masked token master above.
After thinking, Zhang Xiaohua took out his money bag and took the coffin lid next to Little Orange. Then, Zhang Xiaohua did not stand on ceremony and walked all the way to the green grass praying mat in the middle. He had already put the 22 jade coffin lids into his money bag. Zhang Xiaohua used his divine sense to feel the neatly stacked jade lids in the space of his money bag. Zhang Xiaohua was very happy. This trip was not in vain.
Looking at the green grass praying mat in front of him, Zhang Xiaohua inadvertently used his divine sense to scan it. He could not help but exclaim softly, "What is this thing?
There is actually a slight fluctuation of vital energy coming from the grass praying mat. Is this a grass praying mat woven with herbs?
Hehe, no matter what it is, as long as it is something good, I will not let it go. "
Thinking, Zhang Xiaohua put the grass praying mat into his money bag.
Sigh, he would rather take the wrong thing than let it go. This was Zhang Xiaohua's usual style!
Looking at the empty space in his money bag, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but have an idea. The array in this hall was obviously an evil existence. How could he let it continue to exist in this world?
If he took away the coffin lids, he did not know if he could destroy it. If he could still make it work, then wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts?
However, if he was asked to smash these jade lids, he could not bear to do it. Why not take away the other empty coffins? When he had a use for them in the future, he could cut them into jade pieces. Wouldn't that be perfect?
Killing two birds with one stone!
With a perfect reason, Zhang Xiaohua then put the last ten jade coffins into the money bag, filling up the space.
Finally, Zhang Xiaohua clapped his hands and walked in front of Little Orange, reaching out to pull him out.
At this time, a scream sounded, "You … Who are you?"
