Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

"Is rice paper also used in the Demon Suppression Tower?" Li Xuan asked Le Qianqian directly: "I think the material of this paper is not bad."

As the saying goes, if you ask Baidu when everything is uncertain, you will usually get a response.

Le Qianqian's pretty face was slightly red: "Xu~ It is used in many places, such as accounting, interrogation records, etc. But the management is very strict, and almost every item has a record."

Originally, he had made up his mind to keep a distance from Li Xuan from today on, but it was time to wake up from his dizzy head. So the office was cold and cold all morning and didn't look good on Li Xuan.

As a result, when entering the pagoda, the scroll of the magic weapon that she asked someone to make for commemoration was accidentally seen by Li Xuan.

This made her embarrassed and at a loss what to do. He wanted to continue to maintain a cold attitude, but he lacked the confidence and felt guilty.

“It’s more than just rice paper.”

Luo Yan squatted on the ground and grabbed some dust: "There are also saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal needed to make gunpowder! Thinking about it from another angle, the reason why they use gunpowder is not because they have no money, but because these things are very valuable You can’t bring it in. But since talismans can be made in the tower, why can’t gunpowder be made?”

Luo Yan looked at Li Xuan: "The gunpowder did not burn fully, which shows that the quality is very poor."

"interesting."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this: "So, where can I find the account books for these things?"

Le Qianqian replied: "There is a large document room on the first floor of the tower, which is dedicated to storing documents, account books, interrogation records, etc. In addition, there is also a set of backups in the library."

Li Xuan really wanted to go and take a look now, but before that, he had to take a look at another explosion site and the underground waterway where Shenhui, Xue Wuya and others escaped.

Considering the distance, the first place they went to was Blackwater Prison.

The black water prison of the Demon Suppression Tower is on the first and second floors underground. It is generally a ring-shaped structure, located on the outer layer of the foundation of the Demon Suppression Tower. Outside is a large underground reservoir, surrounding it like a moat.

This reservoir is not only the water source of the Black Water Prison, but also plays a role in preventing prison escapes.

The purpose of Liudaosi's construction of this underground reservoir is to prevent anyone from escaping from the underground through the earth escape method, or from attacking from the outside.

So it is huge, covering the entire lower base of the Demon Suppression Tower.

When the 'Zhenwu Demon Sealing Array' is activated, this place will become a place full of murderous intent. Anyone who tries to swim will be killed alive by the dense mechanisms here and various deadly water spells.

The outer layer of the underground reservoir is surrounded by various pipes. One part is used to supply water and drainage to the reservoir, and the other part is a sewer pipe used to drain daily water and indescribable substances produced by humans and monsters in the tower.

The former is separated by a huge iron gate that is three feet thick and indestructible, and will only be opened when necessary; the latter has no direct connection with the reservoir.

The problem was the sewer pipe. The southern stone wall of the underground reservoir was forcibly opened by Xue Wuya, Shenhui and others, leading directly to the sewer pipe five feet away.

Then, after passing two turns, they punched through the stone wall and entered another underground culvert. One end of the latter is connected to the reservoir gate, and the other end leads directly to the river five miles away.

When Li Xuan and the others arrived, the water here had not been completely drained.

And because the things in the living pipes poured back through the gap, not only did it exude a disgusting smell of decay, but it was also mixed with a stench. There are even some indescribable things floating on the surface of the water.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Xuan had already reached the fourth level of cultivation and could hold his breath for a long time, otherwise he would have been fainted. In addition, he can also use the power of the talisman to float half a foot in the air without touching the water.

"Is this here?" Li Xuan covered his nose and looked at the hole. While admiring Xue Wuya and the others for being able to drill in, his eyes showed a cold look: "The direction of drilling the hole is very precise."

"It is indeed accurate! And it penetrated two layers of stone walls in a very short period of time. As long as there is a slight delay, they will have to be left behind by the demon-suppressing manager, Deputy Qiu and others."

Luo Yan turned around and asked Le Qianqian: "Is there anyone in the Liudao Division who is familiar with the structure of these underwater pipelines?"

Le Qianqian thought for a moment and shook her head slightly: "The Demon Suppression Tower was built one thousand one hundred years ago. To this day, no one should be able to fully understand its structure. These pipes are often blocked due to initial design flaws. , it needs to be cleaned and dredged almost every six months. But those who comb the pipes only follow the pipes, and it is impossible for them to know where the pipes are closest to the reservoir, nor how to enter the culvert."

She fell into meditation again: "But I remember that on the seventh floor of the Suzaku Tower and on the top floor of the library, there is a complete set of drawings of the Demon Suppression Tower. They are made in duplicate and kept separately."

At this time, Peng Fulai found Li Xuan looking at the top of the sewer cave wall with some fascination.

"What are you still looking at? Get out quickly, we'll kill you."

Although he has been taking pills non-stop recently, his cultivation is still a little short of being able to enter the fourth level of the building, so he is the most uncomfortable among the others, and it is unbearable even for a moment.

"Lend me your confession talisman." Li Xuan picked up the black talisman handed over by Peng Fulai and scraped off a layer of white crystal powder on the cave wall.

Luo Yan took one look and understood: "This is saltpeter. If no one has touched it in the past thousand years, then the amount of saltpeter here is still quite large."

Peng Fulai looked confused and depressed, looking at the talisman handed back by Li Xuan: "Why don't you use your own?"

"This of yours isn't worth much. It's easy to change."

Li Xuan pointed to his waist, which showed his identity as the 'Captain of the Demon-Suppressing Captain', with its outer layer inlaid with gold and exquisite carvings: "But look at my card, it's a pity that it's dirty! "

He then turned around and left: "Let's go to the top floor."

But the explosion scene on the top floor of the Demon Suppression Tower was also lackluster.

The structure here is exactly the same as the underground. According to the structure of the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram, this place is also divided into two non-connected areas by a thick wall. The only difference is that the area at the top of the tower is smaller, and the 'Bagua' building inside is also relatively small. smaller.

For this reason, this place is not only the hub of the 'Soul Suppressing Pillar', but also the base of the 'Zhenwu Demon Sealing Array'. But relatively speaking, the foundation here is not as important as the underground layer.

The explosion location is still in the hole with the character 'Kun'. There are also many gunpowder residues here that were not fully burned, but no talisman fragments were found. I don’t know if it didn’t exist, or if it was taken away by someone in the inner hall.

After coming down from the top floor, Li Xuan decided to split his troops into two groups. Luo Yan went to the library and Suzaku Tower to check the borrowing record of the demon-suppressing tower structure diagram. He and Le Qianqian went to the clerk's room on the first floor together.

As for Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue - in Li Xuan's eyes, these two are thugs, the second general and the mascot. At this time, there is no hope.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, when they were going downstairs, they happened to see Shi Xin, the 'Internal Supervisor', leading a group of inner hall personnel under his command to go up.

Shi Xin was a little surprised after seeing them, and then his eyes became very interested: "Are you Li Xuan? The person in charge of investigating the explosion of the demon tower? I felt very excited when I saw the general manager's order before. It's strange. With the person in charge, how could he appoint a little Demon-Subduing Captain to take charge of this case? Why is he so assured of you?

Only later did I remember that this was the famous hero of Beigu Mountain, the rising star of Suzaku Hall, the Tiger of Mingyou! "

"Your Excellency, this is a compliment!" Li Xuan returned the salute calmly, with an expression of indifference.

He thinks if you don't call me 'Magic Sword Li Xuan', or 'King of Swords Li Xuan', we won't accept the flattery.

The Tiger of Mingyou? What kind of rubbish title is this? We don’t eat soft food.

"It's interesting. With your magnanimity, you are already more famous than just meeting me."

Shi Xin had turned around and continued to walk upwards: "Let's check carefully! Although I don't know what Longxuhu ordered you, I can probably guess what he was thinking. It was nothing more than a way of protecting his subordinates and raising carbuncle. The reason why Zhuque Hall harbors filth and evil is largely to blame. Shi came from Beijing this time to clean up the unhealthy tendencies here and clear up the original source of Zhuque Hall.

All Shi has one piece of advice: think twice about everything! No matter who dares to block Shi's way or spoil official affairs with selfish motives, Shi will not tolerate him! "

Li Xuan couldn't help but frown, Dragon Beard Tiger - that was the name of their demon-suppressing manager.

And when Shi Xin led all the people in the inner hall, they all went up the stairs at the back. Zhang Yue frowned: "I'm a little unhappy. In his opinion, our Zhuque Hall is a garbage nest?"

Li Xuan also felt unhappy: "Ignore him, we have to do business."

The clerk's room that Le Qianqian mentioned was indeed very large. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net covered an area of ​​thirty feet and was divided into seven rooms. The overall layout is based on the layout of the Jingui Stone Room, and is fireproof and anti-theft.

There are seven clerks on duty here, and the chief officer is a civilian female Demon-Fuming Captain named Gongsun Xue. She is about thirty years old, but she has a peach-like face, enchanting figure, and a mature and intellectual charm all over her body.

When Li Xuan saw this girl, his eyes couldn't help but shine. Instinctively, I thought of a sentence - as pretty as a peach in three springs, as pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns!

Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue behind him were even worse than him, almost dumbfounded.

Li Xuan was looking up and down with appreciative eyes, when Le Qianqian stepped on his foot hard. The girl looked at him coldly: "What are you looking at? This is Wang Shouyi, the general of the master of the Demon Subjugation, Mr. Wang's wife!"

Li Xuan thought of the bearded man he had seen not long ago, and immediately became nervous and closed his eyes without squinting.

Zhang Yue and Peng Fulai also looked solemn and no longer dared to look around. They had heard of Wang Shouyi's name and were worried that they would be beaten to death by the general.
