"No, nothing." Noticing the eyes of others, Chen Qian waved his hand and signaled Zhao Ting to continue.

Although he was confused, Zhao Ting and Chen Qian had no deep friendship after all, so he nodded and continued: "The practice of practicing is a set of swordsmanship, which is ranked middle-grade and has no fame. If the practice is not qualified, he has not been able to practice it because of his poor qualifications and has not been able to advance to the qi and blood."

Zhao Ting said something vaguely, but others are not harsh. Martial arts is the foundation of a person. Just give a rough idea and let others know the characteristics of the martial arts. In fact, except for Ma Qian'er, Chen Qian and Fang Xiaoran's statements are not necessarily thorough.

"Since we have figured it out, let's not waste time anymore," Ma Qian'er stood up and waved her hand like a general who led the army, "Let's go!"

After the words came, the remaining three people, together with Chen Qian, nodded and followed closely behind.

The four of them took steps, but they ran quickly and carefully.

As he walked, Chen Qian's eyes fell on the three women from time to time, and his doubts remained unresolved.

"Strange, since Zhao Ting has the lowest cultivation level, why is the aura on her body the strongest, and it is more solid than anyone I have ever smelled before?"

Chen Qian has now stepped on the second level of the second level of the Tower of Knowledge. He felt that he had strengthened his smell and could smell a strange aura from others. He thought that the higher his cultivation level, the stronger and stronger this aura was.

But just now, Chen Qian took the opportunity to stop talking and focused his attention on his nose again and sniffed and investigated.

The strange aura revealed by the three women was extremely strong, much stronger than Bai Nan and Hu.

Comparing the cultivation of the three women with others seems to confirm Chen Qian’s original guess - the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the strange aura.

Fang Xiaoran and Ma Qianer's aura intensity is the closest. They are both at the peak of Tongjin, and it is normal for them to get close. Among them, Fang Xiaoran is slightly weaker.

But the real strange thing is Zhao Ting.

According to Zhao Ting, her cultivation level is lower than that of the other two girls, and she is not even as good as the Hu girl who was captured, but her strange aura is particularly abundant. Not to mention comparing with Hu girl, even compared with Ma Qianer and Fang Xiaoran, she doesn't give in. Even the rich and pure are even worse!

"Is it because Zhao Ting concealed her true cultivation? It's not right. Judging from her walking movements, her steps are stable and thick, but she obviously cannot effectively restrain her strength. This is a manifestation of not practicing internal strength to the legs..."

Chen Qian gradually paid attention to Zhao Ting. After all, the abnormality in Zhao Ting might be a breakthrough to see through the mystery of olfactory sense.

Thinking in my heart, a few people walked forward and came to the destination of this trip.

Garden corner.

Rocks, lakes, and slightly damp mud land.

This place is located at the edge of the garden, not within the area of ​​the back house of the royal palace, and is also far from the main hall. It is a blind spot for patrol.

Ma Qian'er looked around, then lowered her head and bent down, and tapped a few times on a rock beside her with the hilt of the sword.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The sound is cold and dull.

Bang!

Suddenly, as the knocking position moved, a hollow sound came out.

"This stone is hollow." Chen Qian judged the mystery from his voice.

"It's here!" Ma Qian'er cheered in a low voice, then reached out and fumbled on the stone surface. Soon, she raised the corner of her mouth, smiled, and pressed her hands hard.

Click!

The sound of the spring moving was particularly clear in the quiet night. Ma Qianer subconsciously shrank her neck. Fortunately, half of the time had passed, and there were no patrol soldiers around.

Crack Crack Crack Crack Crack!

A series of light noises came from below the rock. The rock, which had hundreds of kilograms, slid quickly to the side, revealing the hole below.

There is no light inside the cave, a piece of black paint, and the entrance of the cave is not big, which can barely allow an adult to pass through.

"Okay, don't be stunned, come with me." After Ma Qian'er said that, she took two steps forward and jumped into the hole.

Others were not vague, knowing that it was not a question, they followed closely and jumped in one after another.

The ground below is about two meters away from the entrance of the cave above. For anyone who practices martial arts, as long as they maintain balance and center of gravity, they can easily jump down.

Dead!

Keeping his feet on the ground, Chen Qian fell down the last time, and he moved his nose.

The decay smell filled the surroundings.

It was pitch black in front of me. After a while, Chen Qian's vision adapted. He vaguely saw the outlines of others. The three women were all wearing dark clothes, which was the most indistinguishable in such a dark environment.

Snap!

A wave of friction sound came out, followed by the flames.

Ma Qian'er took out a fire stick from somewhere and lit it. She held a torch in one hand and gently pressed the stone wall beside her with the other.

Click.

The sound of the machine spring sounded again, and the hole above closed. It seemed that there was also an internal mechanism that controlled the rock to reset.

Chen Qian looked around in the firelight and roughly understood the surrounding environment.

The four of them seemed to be at the end of a corridor, with walls at one end and winding roads at the other end. The road was faintly downward and the ground was tilted, as if leading to the depths of the ground.

The passage is quite spacious, and the four of them stand not far away, and they disperse each other and don’t feel crowded.

After seeing the environment clearly, Chen Qian's eyes returned to the torch in Ma Qian'er's hand. Although he was a technician in his previous life, he also knew that combustion would react with the oxygen in the air. In the enclosed space, the torch would quickly consume oxygen.

Noting Chen Qian's gaze, Ma Qian'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, there must be a vent here." This world is similar to ancient times, and the ancients were not stupid. They also have cultural heritage and are very clear about practical common sense.

"Where is the vent?" Fang Xiaoran was obviously thinking about the same question and asked out loud.

Ma Qian'er raised her hand and pointed to the side of the passage: "Hey, the layout is the same as other relics. The other entrances and vents my father found are all distributed in this area."

"It turns out that the ruins of Molan have been discovered by the King of Northwest long ago. This is just a scattered entrance that has not been found yet."

Ma Qian'er's words relieved Chen Qian's doubts.

"This makes sense. Otherwise, as a king who is a division of territory, it would be ridiculous if he doesn't know much about the mansion under his nose. It may be that the King of Northwest had known about the ruins of Molan for a long time and deliberately built this vast royal palace here to explore slowly."

The Northwest Royal Palace was not established for a long time, and the scale of the Royal Palace exceeded the legal customs. It was even impeached by censors from the Daxi Dynasty to "over-the-order", but was suppressed by Emperor Daxi.

"So, it's only a matter of time before this entrance was discovered. Maybe the master sent by the Northwest King Ma Su to protect Sister Qian is standing outside the entrance of the cave."

Chen Qian thought while listening to Ma Qian'er's next "exploration arrangement".

...

Outside the ruins, beside the rocks of the organ.

A figure was standing, still as if it were pineapples.

This man only appeared from the side after Chen Qian and others entered the ruins, and he seemed to have been watching for a long time.

In the distance, an elegant middle-aged man wearing Confucian uniform, a ribbon tied with a waist, a beam crown, and a long beard of five willows, was walking slowly.

Seeing the man, the figure standing next to the rock of the organ immediately bent down and clasped his fists, saying, "I didn't expect that even the imperial envoy was alarmed..."
