The black clothed man paused for a moment, then said, "Third Prince Mo Chuo's whereabouts are still unknown, but a person has come."

The man in black sounded hesitant.

Hearing that, Yuwen Jue paused, a murderous intent burst out from his eyes: "Yuwen He!"

He was his enemy, and him. If Mo Chuo did not come, then he was the only one left.

He never thought that Yuwen He's actions would be so quick.

How dare he!

He, a Lord of the Western Xia, had actually risked his life to go deep into the danger zone and chase all the way to Tartar!

Was he really tired of living, or did he believe that he wouldn't die?

Yuwen Jue's expression became even darker, and coldly ordered: "Verify the origin of the information, and confirm Yuwen He's whereabouts. If he really comes here, no matter what, even if he has to hide underground and dig three feet deep, I will dig him out! "

Since Yuwen He had come to the Tatar King Courtyard to seek death himself, then it was no wonder that he had taken advantage of the situation and wanted to make the first move.

Yuwen He, since you have the guts to come, you must be prepared to come and go.

Don't blame me, my dear uncle, for treating you so badly.

The sudden extinguishment of the lights in the tunnel made the light return to darkness.

Xiao Ruyue gasped and subconsciously hugged onto Yuwen He's arm.

A chill came from the back of his neck, Xiao Ruyue did not even have time to react before he rolled on the ground twice, something was whizzing past his ears with a whizzing sound.

When the voice stopped, the fire piston lit up again. Yuwen He helped her up, and examined her from head to toe, asking "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I'm fine." Xiao Ruyue shook her head and looked behind her, she could not see anything in the darkness, her heart was still not at ease, "Are those the mechanisms behind this place? Was it me? "

Yuwen He shook his head at her, "Those mechanisms will be activated as long as someone enters. It's not you."

After a pause, he added, "And the lights that suddenly lit up and went out earlier, those were all traps. Those who fell in here, if they didn't die in the pit, would climb up. When they reached the top of the tunnel, they found a trap. If they accidentally triggered it, it would cause them to lose their lives. This way, the chances of survival of the intruders would be reduced by a few hundred percent. If the intruders were lucky enough to discover the mechanism of the tunnel, they would have to find a way to trigger it like we did. This way, the other mechanism would have the opportunity to do so. This was linked together by a saying: mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows. It's not your fault. "

What a great mantis stalking a cicada with a oriole behind it. Such an approach was an absolute massacre, leaving no chance for anyone to enter.

How vicious!

Xiao Ruyue secretly clenched her fists, could it be that they will die here today?

Yuwen He held her hand speechlessly, and in the dim light, he smiled at her, "With me here, we can leave as we come in. "Don't worry."

His voice seemed to have a calming effect. With a light brush against her ear, she felt much more at ease.

This was especially the case for his deep and handsome silhouette. In the dim light, he appeared even more mysterious. His black eyes flashed as they circulated. Even under such circumstances, he remained calm and composed.

Xiao Ruyue, what other reason do you have to not be strong?

How can you hold me back?

Xiao Ruyue took a deep breath and gripped back the big palm that Yuwen He was wearing a thin cocoon tightly. "Don't worry about me, use the method you thought of and bring me out. I can handle everything else, but I will definitely protect myself. "

"Alright."

The smile in Yuwen He's eyes grew deeper, and in the end, he did not refuse.

Xiao Ruyue's left hand took out the cold jade box from his lapel, pressing the button, the cold jade box automatically moved.

The cocoon had disappeared, and the Jade Silkworm Gu's color had become much darker than before. It was originally a jade white worm, but now it looked dark red and almost black under the dim light, and it was unknown what color it would turn into under the sun.

And there were two hind legs on her body, furry, like the sprouts of spring. She was very cute.

"Fat insect, you grew legs?!" Xiao Ruyue was pleasantly surprised.

Who knew that when the insect heard Xiao Ruyue, it seemed to understand him and waved its tail exaggeratedly to express its goodwill.

Along with the new sprout of the small hind legs to swing back and forth, not to mention how lovely.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but touch it, and the Jade Silkworm Gu simply attached itself to her index finger, crawling into her palm along her finger.

"Yuwen He, is this considered a surprise?" Xiao Ruyue moved the bug in front of Yuwen He like it was a treasure.

When she saw this bug, she even felt as if she had gained another life.

Yuwen He naturally saw through her joy and anticipation, and said sincerely, "Ji De will definitely pay for it, even your worms have come to help, if we can't leave in one piece, wouldn't that be a shame?"

The empress agreed with his words and nodded vigorously in agreement.

However, they only had a fire piston in their hands. The things on both sides of the tunnel were waiting for them to not be able to touch it no matter what.

Yuwen He took out the copper coins from his bag. He had ordered for them to be prepared before he left, Xiao Ruyue was still thinking about what use it would be, but he never thought that it would actually be used.

He was prepared, and told Xiao Ruyue to blow out and put away the fire piston. Xiao Ruyue was startled, and asked: "Why?"

Yuwen He laughed, "Do something interesting."

Interesting thing? Xiao Ruyue was suddenly amused by his casual look.

She knew that there must be a reason for him to do so, so she didn't continue asking and put away the fire piston.

With the Jade Silkworm Gu in her palm, she felt more at ease.

Even though her surroundings were shrouded in darkness, she did not panic at all. She only hugged onto one of Yuwen He's arms steadily, as if nothing had happened.

The ancients had the courage of Mount Tai to collapse without any change in expression. She, Xiao Ruyue, was still the queen after all, so she could not lose her dignity as a queen.

After Yuwen He injected his inner strength into the copper coin, he threw it towards the tunnel in the darkness. He successively threw ten copper coins, which landed on top of ten different stone tablets and relied on the different sounds the copper coin made when it landed to determine whether or not the stone tablet was safe.

Xiao Ruyue followed closely behind, and did not dare to relax even a single step. Just like that, they continued to throw in the copper coins, barely passing through the tunnel that could not be considered long.

When he looked back again, Xiao Ruyue realized that almost every single stone slab had copper coins that Yuwen He threw at him.

There were only a few that he did not even need to throw at the copper coins to get rid of.

As for the method he used, she would have to consult him later on.

At the end of the path was a fork in the road. There were no signs and no one to lead the way. No one knew whether the left side was life or death.

Yuwen He was not in a rush to make his choice, seeing that she was looking at the stone floor behind him, he threw out another copper coin. With a "sou" sound, the copper coin flew into the air, and wherever it went, the lamps on the two sides of the walls lit up.

Yuwen He then used the light to point at the path they took, "Did you see that? This is the malevolent intention of those who set up the traps. If you are greedy and want to light the lamps, you will trigger the traps. If you want to cross the corridors, you must listen to the voices and find the paths in the dark. "

Xiao Ruyue finally understood that the stone tablets on the ground had different mechanisms when the lights were turned on and off.

The people who designed the mechanism didn't want others to walk past them alive. They also wanted to show them off, which was why they did it.

"I don't know if Elder Sister Xiao has noticed, but the number of bricks in this passage is one, not two." Yuwen He stepped on a green brick with a Vermillion Bird carved on it closest to them, "When you light the lamp, every nine squares will be used as one Nine Palaces. When you extinguish the lamp, all the squares will be used to make up a nine palaces.

Xiao Ruyue had heard of the nine palaces before, but she did not know anything about such a large nine palaces. It was only then that Yuwen He realised that the green bricks were rectangular and not as long as the square.

Someone had purposely designed this nine palaces on purpose, and from its appearance, it looked like it was a decoy. She suddenly felt that the designer was looking for someone to spar with and not just for her life?

However, she did not say those words, but her gaze landed on the two walls on both sides of the walkway, and she turned to ask Yuwen He, "If you walk through these mechanisms by yourself, walking around the walls shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

Yuwen He laughed and shook his head, "If someone were to try to use a light movement technique to walk through the two walls, I'm afraid the outcome would be even worse."

Xiao Ruyue looked carefully, there seemed to be something on the wall, but she could not see it clearly. She took a bronze coin from Yuwen He and threw it at the wall. An arrow shot out from the wall and she quickly took two steps back in fear.

"If someone goes up there, they'll become a hornet's nest soon."

Yuwen He caught hold of her body that had almost lost its balance, and laughed out softly: "Don't worry, that person definitely isn't you."

Xiao Ruyue was speechless.

She did not know any martial arts, and could not even fly up.

A jest explained the mechanisms behind him, but there were still two choices ahead.

There are two paths, one for life and one for death.

How to choose?

Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He, and he was looking at the two paths. She followed his gaze and looked at them carefully, and felt that the arrangement of the two paths was extremely strange.

The strange patterns on the green brick looked very familiar.

A familiar scene suddenly surfaced in her mind. It was a scene she had seen before in Yuwen He's book.

"This kid is worth teaching." Yuwen He rushed out of her gaze with praise.

The patterns on the green brick represented the eight parts of the Eight Diagrams: The Heaven and Earth was shaking and the Sun was leaving Cangeng.

However, these two paths used blue bricks to replace the direction of the trigram, to show the difference between the path of death and the path of death.

However, the gossip had an infinite number of changes, and it was deep and hard to fathom. The only things Xiao Ruyue could understand were the differences between each of the eight locations, yet Yuwen He actually had an easy and easy way to do it.

At this point, she really wanted to see how many things were stored in Yuwen He's mind.

What did he learn in the past?
