The moment the three of them came out, the secret room collapsed with a loud bang, but it was not a landslide, it just turned that place into a flat ground.

But the poisonous miasma did not dissipate, and a purple color spread everywhere. Looking up, I didn’t know what was going on, and even the entire valley was covered.

Ning Xiusu and Hua Jianbai discussed whether to return the same way, when Pu Boyu suddenly took out a dungeon map.

This aroused people's curiosity, so Ning Xiusu asked, "Where did you get all these things?"

Pu Boyu mumbled through his mask, "When the fog came, I grabbed the gas mask and map from the box next to me."

Hua Jianbai clicked his tongue and couldn't help but praise his nephew.

But Ning Xiusu secretly felt that something was wrong. Even if he was trying to steal something, how could he know where it was for no reason?

Pu Boyu seemed to know what he was going to ask. He touched the back of his head and asked innocently, "Uncle villain, you won't doubt me, right?"

Hua Jianbai became excited when he heard this: "Big villain, my nephew just saved us."

Even though Ning Xiusu was full of doubts, he had to give up and simply took the map to analyze it.

As shown in the picture: "This place is isolated. There are only two routes leading to the Three Flower Temple. The route to the secret room is destroyed, and there is another route full of zombies."

I'm really impressed. Have you been trying to find a way out these days?

Ning Xiusu felt a chill down his spine when he thought of what had just happened.

Hua Jianbai, on the other hand, looked very confident and said in a very confident and confident manner, "It's just a zombie, right? I just came to find you from that road. What's there to be afraid of?"

Ning Xiusu said in his usual casual tone, "Amazing."

But Pu Boyu had a droopy face and a worried look on his face: "Aunt, I'm actually quite scared too..."

"Oh, the poisonous fog here is so serious, maybe all the zombies in the dungeon have been poisoned to death."

Hanamibai continued to comfort him, saying, "Besides, Ayu, you have to be a man in the future. Don't learn from this loser."

The emphasis in his tone was on the word "useless", and Ning Xiusu was stunned when he heard it.

"Stop, why am I useless?"

Hua Jianbai folded his hands and said, "My dear nephew, your villain uncle wants to prove that he is not useless. Let him take the lead later..."

Ning Xiusu choked.

I have to take the lead. After all, I am a big landlord who maintains public order in this area. I cannot lose face for this idle king.

Ning Xiusu was extremely alert and followed the map, winding his way deeper into the dungeon.

Along the way, I always thought that the place ahead would be extremely terrifying, but unexpectedly, the underground palace was unusually quiet, and I didn't even see a shadow of a zombie.

"There are a lot of puppets in here!" He walked to the dark dungeon and shouted to the back.

Hanamibai still didn't believe it, and asked from a distance, "What puppet? Shouldn't it be a zombie?"

Ning Xiusu continued to walk in. Seeing that there was no movement, Hua Jianbai led Pu Boyu in. The two of them walked into the water dungeon cautiously and were dumbfounded for a moment.

Whether it was an open space or a corner, all the places where zombies used to move around have become puppets that cannot move.

Hanami Hakuya picked up the tinderbox, the dim light reflecting on the stiff face of the carved puppet, calm and strange. There were actually tiny particles on it, as if...

"Spore powder?"

Ning Xiusu said something.

After Hua Jianbai heard him reveal the secret, he suddenly realized: "We are wearing gas masks!"

"So there are no zombies at all. We were already hallucinating before entering the dungeon."

Hanamibai was surprised: "What about the fake one? Is he real or fake?"

Ning Xiusu shook his head: "It's hard to say, but at least the secret room really collapsed."

"No way, I killed a few of them back then..." Pu Boyu couldn't believe it. He looked at the puppet covered with knife marks with a look of horror.

Ning Xiusu flipped open the map again and pointed at the red circle with his slender knuckles: "Look, it's marked on this map that going east leads to the Three Flowers Temple."

Hua Jianbai took it and looked at it carefully, very confused:

"The Three Flowers Temple is where I traveled through time. There is indeed an exit there. It seems that the impostor was not lying. But why did he help Ayu?"

Ning Xiusu was also puzzled: "I don't understand either."

Pu Boyu suddenly shouted to the two of them, "Come and see!"

Behind a pile of puppets, there is actually a secret passage.

Hua Jianbai was about to go in, but Ning Xiusu reminded him, "This secret passage isn't marked on the map at all. Are you sure there aren't any traps in there?"

Hua Jianbai was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to give up the idea, he saw Pu Boyu rushing in.

Ning Xiusu was shocked when he saw this.

Hua Jianbai only heard shouting "nephew" and then followed him in.

Oh my god, are you two the black holes of the universe?

He had no choice but to follow closely.

This couldn't be considered an aisle, but rather a narrow gap that could barely accommodate one person. Ning Xiusu followed them for a while before finally reaching the end.

I discovered that this was a carriage-sized space, which went up dozens of feet vertically. The top was covered with jade, but light shone through it.

Hua Jianbai didn't know whether he was an expert in martial arts or had some special ability, but he pushed off the ground with his legs and jumped upwards. With a "snap", he split the jade stone in half with his palm, then took advantage of the momentum and went straight ashore.

"Wow!" Hua Jianbai looked around and exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Pu Boyu took a deep breath, and without saying a word, he held on to the rock with one hand and climbed up in a short while.

"How magnificent!" Pu Boyu was also surprised.

Ning Xiusu was also very curious, but he was helpless now, unable to move up...

Seeing that he didn't move, Hua Jianbai said in surprise, "My Lord, do you want to stay down there for a long time?"

Ning Xiusu coughed dryly: "Big chicken drumstick...what do you think?"

Hua Jianbai shook his head in frustration and jumped down.

Ning Xiusu only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he flew into the air. In the blink of an eye, a large palace suddenly appeared in front of him.

There was no poisonous fog here. He took off his gas mask and found that he was standing at the highest point.

The hall was magnificent under the candlelight, with a green jade floor and an exquisite jade pool with gold edges in the center. There was no water in it, but it emitted a light medicinal fragrance.

Ning Xiusu has been a prince for a long time, and he has seen a lot of such splendor, so it is not surprising to him.

He asked Hua Jianbai: "You traveled through time, but were you here?"

Hua Jianbai shook his head: "The place I traveled through is smaller, and the pool is not bordered with gold."

"Then why are you surprised?"

Hanamiba said doubtfully:

"Because other than these two points, this place is exactly the same as it was then, even the smell is the same. Could it be that there are two Three Flower Temples?"

Ning Xiusu suddenly thought of something and took out the map.

"This map was taken from the Three Flower Chamber. If there are two Three Flower Chambers, and the one that just collapsed is the fake one, then there must be another real one."

Hua Jianbai was confused: "What do you mean?"

"I suspect this map might be fake. The areas not marked on it are the real Three Flowers Temple."

"Fake?" Hanamibai was more and more shocked as he listened: "Could it be that all the people I met were fakes? But the map was given to me by my nephew."

He suddenly grabbed Pu Boyu and shouted angrily: "Tell me, who are you?"

Pu Boyu grimaced in pain: "Oh my, auntie, I really am your nephew..."

"What evidence do you have?"

"Auntie, you love spicy vinegar-fried snail noodles the most, and you got scammed out of 3,800 yuan by a young man you met online! And... and you fell into a shit pit while walking at night after get off work..."

Hua Jianbai hurriedly covered his mouth, fearing that he would reveal more shame: "Auntie believes you, stop talking!"

Ning Xiusu really couldn't help laughing.

Hua Jianbai turned around and saw a smile of amusement in his gentle eyes. He frowned and said angrily, "You are mocking me!"

Ning Xiusu quickly said seriously, "It seems someone set this up."

"Oh, this is so complicated!" Hanamibai said irritably, "I'm writing a fantasy novel with a heroine, not a suspense story!"

Ning Xiusu looked at Pu Boyu again: "Speaking of which, how did you get the map mask?"

Pu Boyu suddenly hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, someone told me in my mind!"

Ning Xiusu's mouth twitched: "Is there someone in your head?"

Hua Jianbai stared at him suspiciously: "Nephew, you don't want to say that you have a system, do you?"

He was just making a random complaint, but unexpectedly Pu Boyu nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, that's about it!"

……

Ning Xiu was speechless and wanted to ask something, but Hua Jianbai suddenly became alert and whispered, "There's someone outside."

When it comes to keeping an eye on all directions and listening in all directions, Hua Jianbai has to be the one to admit defeat. Ning Xiusu swallowed his words and followed the two of them to hide behind a hidden curtain. They only heard the footsteps of several people approaching.

"Everyone, be careful! This is the medicinal spring that the Palace Master found with great difficulty before he went into seclusion!"

He peeked out through the gap in the red silk curtain and saw several maids tremblingly holding up a tripod and pouring the green and fragrant spring water inside into the jade pool.

A little maid was holding a small medicine jar. Her hands and feet were unsteady and she slipped. With a "clang", the small medicine jar fell over and the red liquid spilled all over the floor.

The woman in green clothes, who looked like a manager, slapped him in the face and cursed:

"You have no vision, this red water is already prepared. If Ergong soaks in this potion and it doesn't work, we're all doomed!"

Second Palace Master?

Ning Xiusu was stunned and couldn't help but look at each other with Hua Jianbai. One wondered if it was the aftereffect of changing the plot, and the other wondered if he had never written about this character at all.

Several maids politely poured the remaining red water from the small medicine jars into the pool.

The woman in green clothes called out, "Please baptize the Second Palace Master!"

Ning Xiusu felt his eyes light up as he saw a beautiful woman sleeping with her eyes closed being carried in from a distance.
