Assault on the Nightmare Tower

Nightmare Attack Chapter 12

After allowing Mu Xuechen to fetch Tang Qingci's head for him that day, Gu Jingyan rode away the next day.Mu Xuechen stayed alone in the empty wing room with nothing to do, but he didn't want to disturb Qin'er, so he had to wander around in the courtyard, admiring the spring scenery in the garden.

During this period, he kept saying to himself that what happened that night was just over.What Gu Jingyan left for him was not an unbearable pain.Now, it is useless for him to give up on himself, he might as well use that guilt to achieve his great cause.

He thought about this for a while, and saw Qin'er coming to look for him from a distance.Looking from a distance, the graceful girl is graceful and graceful, wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress, delicate and moving.

With Mu Xuechen's inconstant temperament and extremely defensive temperament, in the big rivers and lakes, I'm afraid that only Qin'er can gain his trust and get close to him.

Walking in front of Mu Xuechen, Qin'er smiled faintly, leaned over to give her a blessing, and said, "Brother Mochen, I have some good news for you."

Mu Xuechen said: "But the deciphering of the clue book has improved again?"

Qin'er said: "Yes. I thought the clue book was as difficult as a heavenly book, but once you know what language and rules it uses, it's easy to decipher."

Mu Xuechen nodded: "The one who wrote the clue book was a previous martial arts leader. The so-called specialization in martial arts, that person must not be someone who is familiar with strange characters or hidden secrets. Follow his train of thought. If you try to solve it, you should be able to solve it. However, you are so happy, did you find any important clues?"

Qin'er nodded, walked to his side, and said: "Yes. Although I haven't deciphered all the translations, I found that there was a sentence mentioned repeatedly in it. That sentence was written in the Miao language. I have a rough grasp of Miaojiang characters, so I translated that sentence."

"What's that sentence?"

"'The method of deciphering, the treasure book of thousands of machines'." Qin'er said. "I think that the biggest clue in the clue book is this sentence. Maybe the solution to the twelve copper rings is hidden in the treasure book of thousands of machines. But sir, although I have translated this sentence, But I have never heard of the Book of Thousand Machines, so..."

Mu Xuechen smiled lightly, against the color of the flowers, it was as bright as spring: "Haha, the treasure book of thousands of machines, the treasure book of thousands of machines, yes, it seems that God co-authored Gu Jingyan and planted it in my hands."

Qin'er was taken aback, and said, "Brother Mochen knows the whereabouts of the Thousand Machines Book?"

Mu Xuechen nodded, and said: "Qin'er, I told you that I designed the big mechanism city of the Nightmare Palace. And people like me who don't understand the secrets of mechanisms and traps, why can I design one? A city surrounded by layers of nets, haven't you ever suspected this matter?"

"Could it be..."

"Yes, the treasure book of thousands of machines is in the Nightmare Palace." Mu Xuechen said. "It is said that the treasure book of thousands of machines was made by Lu Ban during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Lu Ban, formerly known as Gongshupan, was the founder of the Guigu clan of organs in the future. It is said that the organs he made at that time were extremely exquisite and mysterious. Bamboo and wood think of a magpie, and when it is formed, it will fly, and it will not fall for three days', which is to praise his ingenious mechanism technique. In the later years of Lu Ban, when the Warring States was in turmoil, in order to prevent the mechanism technique from being lost, he once wrote a book "The Treasure of Thousand Machines" "Book". In the treasure book, there are various tricks and traps. At that time, I also relied on the secret tricks recorded in the "Treasure Book of Thousands of Machines" to design the outer guard of the Nightmare Palace - the Trick City It is said that the treasure book was also obtained by the Palace Master by accident in the early years, but it is actually of great use today."

Qin'er smiled calmly, and said: "So, there must be a solution to the twelve copper rings in the treasure book of thousands of machines?"

"But I don't remember that. I was studying that book at the time, but it was just a whim. I only read some large-scale traps, and I don't remember if there are any twelve copper rings recorded in it." Mu Xuechen said. "Fortunately, this treasure book is in the Nightmare Palace. As long as you find the treasure book, read the solution, and open the copper ring, you can get the mercury lamp."

"So, brother Mochen is going back to attack Nightmare Palace?"

Mu Xuechen was silent for a moment before replying: "It is imperative to go back to the Nightmare Palace. Going back and forth, the fastest action will take three days. Gu Jingyan once promised me to give me Tang Qingci within seven days." Human head, but Tian Gu Sect is far away from here, and Tang Qingci's head is not so easy to get. By the time I get the book and return, he has not yet returned to the Wulin League."

Qin'er nodded and said, "Then, when is brother Mochen going to leave?"

"I'll make preparations and leave after nightfall," Mu Xuechen said. "If you stay here alone, be careful."

"Brother Mochen, don't worry about me." Qin'er smiled. "A person as old as Qin'er, doesn't he know how to take care of himself?"

After nightfall, Mu Xuechen took advantage of the dark night to climb over the wall from a remote city corner and leave Yedu.

Attacking Nightmare Palace is about [-] miles away from Yedu, within three days, you must choose a horse that is thousands of miles away.

Mu Xuechen flew over the eaves and walls and ran northward for about ten li before he found an inn that sells horses.He hastily bought a very handsome Bloodhoof Heiyun, and rode Mochen for hundreds of miles.

Running around Moshang, Mu Xuechen didn't even have the time to stop for a bowl of tea, so he rushed on and off without sleep, and in the end, it only took one day to arrive at the Nightmare Palace.In front of the gate of the Nightmare Palace, just as Mu Xuechen got off his horse, the blood-hoofed black cloud fell to the ground and died of exhaustion, Mu Xuechen sighed softly, feeling sorry.

After passing through the huge organ city, Mu Xuechen went straight to the library pavilion in the Nightmare Palace.At this time, it was the early morning hours, and there were only two Xiyan disciples guarding here. When they saw him, they quickly knelt down and saluted: "Disciples see the landlord."

Mu Xuechen waved his hands hastily, and said, "Both of you, follow me in to find a book."

"May I ask the landlord, which book are you looking for?"

"I want "Treasure Book of Thousand Machines"." Mu Xuechen said coldly. "I will give you two hours to find that treasure book for me."

There are no less than ten thousand volumes in the Zangshu Pavilion, and it is not enough to search through them one by one for a day and a night, but Mu Xuechen doesn't have that much time.The longer he stayed in Nightmare Palace, the risk of his identity being exposed would increase by one point.Now, he was only a few steps away from his goal, so how could he capsize in the gutter.

Seeing Mu Xuechen's uneasy expression, the two gatekeeper disciples hurriedly went to look for books.Mu Xuechen also wandered between the bookshelves to search, but there are too many books here, and most of the books are almost the same if you don't look carefully.Moreover, it was late at night at this time, and there was only one candlelight in the Library Pavilion, so it was extremely dim, and it was much more difficult to find books.

Just as Mu Xuechen buried his head in searching for a book, he suddenly felt someone beside him.He looked up, only to see a beautiful woman with snow hair and snow clothes standing there.The woman's three thousand snow silks are as pure as winter snow, and her body is as white as light feathers. Against that beautiful and ethereal face, in this darkness, there is a strange glamorous beauty.

Mu Xuechen saw who was coming, and quickly knelt down to salute, "Disciple Mu Xuechen sees the Dharma protector."

The woman didn't look down at him, but said coldly: "You don't need to be polite, get up."

Mu Xuechen got up, but bowed down respectfully, not looking at her.This woman is not an ordinary person, but one of the double protectors in the Nightmare Palace - Weiyang Pavilion Shenji Xuechen protector, in terms of status, she is still above Mu Xuechen.Looking at the entire Nightmare Palace, this woman is only under the palace lord Leng Qiang.

Mu Xuechen has always been somewhat in awe of this Dharma protector.I think when he was young when he worshiped his teacher Leng Qiang, Shen Zhuxue was already a graceful and elegant girl, but until now, more than ten years have passed, Shen Zhuxue is still the same as before, not even half as old. Going, it seems to be the youth of the [-]th.

Perhaps, this Dharma protector is over a hundred years old.

Moreover, her life seemed to be endless, with no signs of aging at all, as if it lasted forever.

At this moment, Shen Zhuxue was standing in the Sutra Pavilion, her eyes were empty, she didn't know if she was looking at him or something else invisible in the air.After a while, Mu Xuechen said, "May I ask what advice and instructions do you have from the protector?"

Shen Zhuxue slightly raised her head, and said: "Mu Xuechen, the host doesn't know what you're doing in private, but I know. The nebula in the night sky has revealed everything in the world, and you can't hide those things from me."

Mu Xuechen lowered his head slightly, and said, "The sages who protect the Dharma are not comparable to ordinary people like me."

"If you insist on doing this, I won't stop you. The astrology has already formed, and if I stop you, I can't stop your heart or your life." Shen Yuxue said indifferently. "Mu Xuechen, don't let the heavenly secrets go lightly. Now, I only warn you that in the near future, you will gain some things, and you will also lose some things. Those are destiny and the laws of heaven."

"Disciple...doesn't really understand the meaning of Dharma protector."

"It's fine if you don't understand, I just want to give you some pointers." Shen Zhuxue said coldly. "There are three thousand inks in the world of mortals, and all the prosperity is cold. One love and one sad mantra, one word is one word."

There are three thousand inks in the world of mortals, and all the prosperity is cold. One love and one sad curse, one word is one word.

After returning to the Wulin League, Mu Xuechen still didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Shen Zhuxue told him that he would gain some and lose some.

And what is gained and what is lost.

Entering Qin'er's room, she found that girl was holding a book of clues, lying on the desk and fast asleep.Mu Xuechen only felt sorry for her and didn't want to wake her up, but Qin'er woke up by herself, looked at him, and said with a light smile, "Brother Mochen, you're back. During the few days when you're not here, I'm afraid that President Gu will I’ve come back, but I’ve been in fear all day long.”

"Silly girl, what are you afraid of? How could I still let you stay alone at the cusp of the storm, regardless of you?" Mu Xuechen stroked her ink-like black hair and said with a smile. "Don't worry, now that I have brought back the Book of Thousands of Machines, it won't take long for me to get what I need and take you out of here."

He didn't know that the woman in front of him who had entrusted him with the best youth of her life had never left here.

It was not until a long time later that he realized the meaning of what Shen Zhuxue said to him.

However, it has...

That day, he stayed in Qin'er's room and stayed with her for a long time.

He waited until nightfall before he went back to his room, and the moment he opened the door, he was greeted by a thick smell of blood.He subconsciously put his hand on the long sword at his waist, and then took a closer look, only to see that Gu Jingyan was lying on his side on the bed covered in blood, and on the mahogany tea table in the middle of the room, there was an extra square box at some time.

Mu Xuechen walked to the table a few steps and looked into the box. The surprise was no small matter.

Inside the bronze box, a thick and beautiful face glared angrily, and the pupils were cloudy.

Gu Jingyan really took Tang Qingci's head back for him.

The author has something to say:
