Haha, Brother Guan is so brave. Seeing Guan Heng agreeing to Abdullah's difficult conditions in an understatement, even Jin Bing, the boss of the underground gang beside him, was impressed with admiration: He is indeed the person I recommended, why don't I

With you

Before the words "Go together" were uttered, Guan Heng had already interrupted Jin Bing: "No, Mr. Jin Bing, just wait here for my news. Traveling to and from a mere desert underground palace is not enough for everyone."

Work together

I believe I will be back soon. Guan Heng then whispered to Jin Bing: Please take care of my two brothers and don't let them have any conflicts with Abdulla.

Okay, don't worry about this. Although Jin Bing is a member of an underground gang who kills without blinking an eye, he also admires Guan Heng's ability and courage, so he agreed to help Guan Heng take care of Ben Grim and Santai.

Require

Everyone, please sit down for a while. I'll go and be back soon. Guan Heng smiled slightly and took the box containing the location map of the underground palace from Abdullah's personal bodyguard Qiao San. The latter's eyes condensed and he gave Guan Heng a meaningful look, and then

He retreated to Abdullah's side

He turned around and walked out of Abdullah's mansion with his head held high. Guan Heng walked around and walked into a deserted alley that he had observed when he came here. He reached out and took out the map in the box. Then he flipped it with his fingertips, and a ball of paper suddenly appeared.

Appear in Guan Hengzhang

The note read: The underground palace is full of dangers, Abdullah has hidden evil intentions, and everyone wants to be careful but his reputation is not good enough.

Haha, at last this man still had some conscience, and he knew how to remind me with a note. A ball of flame suddenly appeared on his fingertips, and instantly burned the note to ashes: Well, I already knew that this bastard Abdullah had no good intentions.

, but since he asked me to visit the underground palace, then I will go and see what kind of dragon pool and tiger den you have set up.

Thinking of this, Guan Heng did not stop, and quickly went to a deserted place, summoned the exorcist armor in his body, and flew straight into the sky. Following the direction pointed by the map, it took less than five minutes to fly to

Arrive at the edge of the desert.

Well, where is the entrance to the underground palace? Guan Heng looked around. There was an extremely vast desert everywhere. Not even a bird or a plant could be seen, let alone the shadow of the underground palace.

After searching for a few minutes without finding his target, Guan Heng took out the simple map of the underground palace and looked at it: Alas, this wicked Abdullah drew the map in such a sloppy way, clearly just to embarrass me.

Hupata Guanheng suddenly landed on the ground, and then quickly put away the exorcist armor: It seems that the general location of the underground palace should be here. It may be that wind and sand are often raging nearby, and the entrance and exit may be buried.

That's all, let's search carefully from all around. Guan Heng knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, so he began to search seriously.

Well, there is actually a residential house in this remote desert. Guan Heng looked intently and saw a two-story domed stone building a few miles away. It was very characteristic of local residential buildings. It had obviously been built for a long time.

Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can find out the direction of the underground palace. Guan Heng thought of this, and without stopping, he came directly to the door of this domed stone house. But when he arrived, Guan Heng was disappointed when he saw it. This place was dilapidated.

It was unbearable and had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

Alas, it's strange that people can live in a house that can't even block the wind and sand. Although Guan Heng thought so, he couldn't help but walked into the house and took a closer look. He could vaguely see the layout of the second-story house.

: The first floor is a huge study room. Various broken books are piled in the corners. Some books are made of leather and have not rotted after centuries. Guan Heng picked them up and looked through them at will.

It was written in the local language and I didn’t recognize it.

It seems that the owner here is a well-educated man. Guan Heng gently put down the book and murmured: It will probably take several lifetimes of accumulation by the ancestors to own so many books. It is really not easy.

Walking up the stone steps, Guan Heng found that the second floor contained two living rooms, with shabby furnishings and nothing unusual.

Well, this place actually has a small attic on the top floor. He walked to the end of the second floor and found the steps going up: Okay, let’s just go up and have a look.

Hey, when I walked up to Guan Heng on the top floor, I was surprised to find an old man standing on the rooftop of the top floor. This man was wearing a cloth robe and a long scarf wrapped around his head. His face was slender yet elegant, his eyebrows were kind, and there was a wisp of hair under his chin.

goatee

The old man put his hands behind his back and stood on the rooftop looking at the yellow sand in the distance, his expression was very leisurely and contented.

The doubts in Guan Heng's eyes just flashed past. When he noticed that the old man's body was almost transparent, he suddenly understood: It turned out that he was a ghost.

Slowly walking to the old man's side, Guan Heng smiled slightly and said: "The old man is very interested in admiring the scenery here. It is really disturbing that tourists from far away come unexpectedly."

The old ghost turned his head and looked at Guan Heng, and said with a smile: This young man can actually see me. It seems that I am also a person with strange abilities.

Seeing that you were walking in a hurry, with a slightly anxious look on your brows, it seemed that you were not at the end of your trip. The old man stroked his long beard and introduced himself: My name is Cushing, and I was the owner of this dome building during my lifetime.

Young man, is there anything you need my help with? Cushing said with a smile: Just ask. Strange guests rarely come to my home, and even fewer can see me. Just for this reason, I will help you.

Okay, please listen to me slowly. Guan Heng told the old man Cushing about his search for the desert underground palace.

After listening to Guan Heng's narration, the old man Cushing frowned: You mean, the person who asked you to find the lost items in the underground palace is called Abdullah Schiller.

How could it be possible for you to know him? Guan Heng couldn't help but wonder: Old Mr. Cushing, I see that your attire is from ancient times, at least hundreds of years ago. How could you possibly know Abdullah?

Haha, Abdullah, I must have never met the old man Cushing said with a smile: But more than seven hundred years ago, I may have been an old acquaintance with his ancestor, the emir of Damascus at that time, the highest local official, because

He is also a person named Schiller

Do you mind telling me the reason? Guan Heng said with a smile: Because I am very curious about the underground palace and everything between you.

Okay, let's go to the study on the first floor and talk slowly. The two walked down the stone steps. As they walked, Cushing said: This is a long story, haha, I haven't told it to anyone for a long time.

The story began more than 700 years ago. At that time, there were frequent wars in the nearby area. In order to avoid the war and concentrate on his studies, the famous scholar Cushing moved his family to this oasis on the edge of the desert.
