Dungeon Journey
After leaving the forest, they traveled for another day before arriving at Changge Town. After entering the town, Fu Ziche saw the environment and said,""Strange, I remember hearing that the buildings in Changge are quite magnificent. Why are there only simple houses in front of me?”
"Hahahaha!" The town of Changge was underground and could not be seen from here!”
"Exactly!" said Ji Peng. This was something that everyone knew, hahahaha!”
"Strange, why are you so happy?" Fu Ziche asked.”
They heard from the town that almost all the able-bodied men in the town had been pulled up to build the underground city, so the town was very deserted. In front of a bridge, they found a wandering old man lying on the ground. Wen Jin recognized that it was his old servant, Uncle Chang, and hurriedly woke him up. That old man also recognized Wen Jin. "Uncle Bochang, what happened to you? Why are you here?"
"Sigh…I'm ashamed to say this, but I escaped." Last time, Master used a conspiracy to imprison a very powerful minister, the lord of this area, called Ance…"
"An Ce?" That fat and cunning noble? Shu Mulberry actually dared to touch him…"
"An Ce said in private that he could make me rich and become a big landlord, as long as I could help him escape." I couldn't stand his temptation and secretly let him go. Then I escaped to Ance's palace to ask for his reward. I didn't expect Ance to be ungrateful. It's all my fault for being too greedy and ending up like this. Now, I'm living in a foreign land and I'm sick…"
"Let me take a look…" Fu Ziche took Bochang's pulse and said,"I'll take a look.""Yes, perhaps his body is too weak and he's not used to the environment. Let's go to the street and find some medicine to see if it can be cured.”
"Eh?" I didn't know you were a witch doctor.”
Fu Ziche laughed,"Ha, what witch doctor? You're too outdated." It's just that the divine doctor Bianque gave me some guidance.”
"Big Brother Fu, I'll stay behind to look after Uncle Bochang."”
"Alright, come and call me if you have any questions."”Fu Ziche, Cast Stone, and the golem headed towards the underground city.
They were walking on the street when suddenly the gong sounded. They quickly hid in the crowd to see what was going on. They saw an army carrying a coffin and Shu Mulberry appeared in front of everyone. "Citizens of Changge! Come and listen to me! Dear citizens, I am very sad. My good friend Anze, your lord, has just passed away.”When all the commoners heard this, they were very surprised.
"Since my good friend An Ce still has a wish to fulfill, I am willing to do my best to help him."”
The commoners whispered to each other and discussed animatedly. After the announcement, Shu Mulberry left with the crowd. After Shu Mulberry walked out of the underground city, he activated the mechanism and sealed the entrance. At this moment, he coincidentally bumped into Wen Jin. Wen Jin called out to him, but he was unmoved and walked straight ahead. Wen Jin's heart couldn't help but ache.
When Fu Zi Che and the others were about to leave, they realized that the entrance to the underground city was sealed. Everyone was shocked, and the Swift Roc also croaked. Fu Zi Che said,"Swift Peng, have you gone crazy from fear?”Swift Peng was still croaking, Fu Ziche said,""Calm down. If you want to die, you should die in a good way.”
"Not good!" said the cast stone. It turns out that even the city has become a burial object! There was indeed a conspiracy behind Anze's construction of the underground city! What was worse was that Shu Mulberry was still in a state of panic.”
Fu Zi Che walked closer to the entrance and observed the surroundings. He found a vent and cast a stone."I don't know if it's sealed up.”"No, there's wind moving." Swift Roc!"
"What are you doing?"
"You should be able to enter this vent, right? He wanted to see if he could get out and ask for help.”
"No problem! Leave it to me! Do you have any last words?"
"I've asked this question for a hundred years. Go! Inform Wen Jin at the same time that we are here.”
"Of course!" The Swift Roc flew out of the vent.
At this moment, Wen Jin also realized that the door was closed. He hurriedly searched the surroundings to see if there was a mechanism that had been activated. Suddenly, he saw Swift Roc fly out from inside. Wen Jin hurriedly shouted, and Swift Roc said,""Young miss! Not good! Fu Zi Che and the others were trapped inside!”
"What happened?" Wen Jin asked.
"This underground city was meant to be Ance's tomb, but everyone was buried alive inside.”
"Then what should we do?"
"Go to the vent over there. You should be able to talk to Fu Ziche.”
Wen Jin and Ji Peng rushed to the vent and called out,""Big Brother Fu!"
Fu Zi Che's voice came from inside,"Wen Jin!" Can you hear me from outside?"
"I heard you, big brother."
"Alright, don't worry. It won't be easy to open this door. I'm afraid I'll have to find my teacher. You'd better help me go to Daliang to find him. Inform the residents on the ground that we're here. We should be able to hold on for a long time through this vent.”
"But…"
"Take Swift Peng with you, don't worry about us.”
"Got it. Take care…"
"You too. Be careful on the road."
Wen Jin then took Ji Peng and set off to Daliang to find Mo Zi to save him. She first went to the town to inform everyone about this matter. She happened to see the people from the Shuren Gang helping Bochang in town. Wen Jin immediately informed everyone about the underground city. When the people from the Shuren Gang heard that the gang leader was among them, they immediately gathered everyone to think of a way. The plebeian gang had planned to use explosives to open the door, but who knew that the door would not be damaged even if they used gunpowder to detonate it. "Is there any other way?" Wen Jin asked.”
"Even gunpowder can't explode it, I'm afraid there's no other way."”
Suddenly, an army arrived. The general in the lead said,""What was that sound?"
"We're trying to open this stone door. The people of the underground city are trapped inside."”
"That's fine. I thought someone was trying to harm me."”
Wen Jin looked carefully and said,"Eh? Isn't that Pang Juan?" "So it's Miss Wen Jin. Why are you here?"”
Wen Jin said," Big Brother Fu is trapped inside. Big Brother wants me to find his teacher, Mo Zi, to rescue him."”
"Mozi?" Pang Juan asked. He remembered that they were in Daliang. It just so happens that I have to accompany this general who was sent to Han Country back to Wei Country's Daliang.”"You want to go to Daliang? Can you take me there?"
"This…should be possible," Pang Juan said.”
Wen Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Pang Juan. Then, he turned around and said to Bochang,""Uncle Bochang, we'll part ways now. Take care.”
"Eldest Miss is the one, don't worry about me."”
"Let's go!" Pang Juan said. Wen Jin followed them to Daliang.
However, not long after the army left, Mo Zi, Gongshu Ban, Guigu 'zi, and the others suddenly appeared. Mo Zi went up and asked,""What's going on here?"
"The Shu Mulberry would never come here for no reason," Guigu 'zi said."I have a rough idea of the situation.”
"Guess what?" Gongshu Ban asked. Don't keep me in suspense!"
"It's like this, the people in the underground city were all buried alive." We even used explosives, but we still couldn't open the door.”
Gongshu Ban said," I see. I understand now. Shu Mulberry killed An Ce and even put him in the tomb that An Ce built…These two people are really vicious. They actually dared to bury a living person with him."”
Mozi said,"We have to think of a way to save them."”They came to the vent and Mo Zi shouted,""Hey! Is there anyone down there?"
When Fu Ziche heard his teacher's voice, he immediately replied,""Teacher! It was me! Fu Ziche!"
"Ah, Fu Ziche! That would be easy. Fu Ziche, listen up. It's possible to open this door, but I need your help."”
"Teacher, please instruct me."
"I need some materials. It's a rare red transparent gemstone. I heard that Ance has this kind of treasure. It should be near his coffin.”
"Got it, Teacher."
Therefore, Fu Ziche and the others searched for An Ce's coffin in the underground city. They arrived at the entrance of a basement. After entering, they found that there were many mechanisms. Under Fu Zi Che's careful deliberation, they finally cracked these mechanisms one by one. After entering the basement, they found a coffin. Fu Zi Che and the others went forward to investigate the coffin, but they suddenly heard a voice coming from inside,"Someone come! Someone open the door for me!" Only then did the two of them know that An Ce was not dead.
"So Ance is still alive?" asked the cast stone. Interesting. He was also buried alive. He had brought this upon himself.”
"Why are these people so cruel?" Fu Ziche asked. I wonder if the thing we want is inside?”
"It's possible. Moreover, it might be faster to ask this guy directly.”
"Then open it." The two of them worked together to push open the lid of the coffin. Who knew that the coffin was installed with a mechanism. The moment the two of them touched it, the mechanism attacked the two of them. The golem stood up and blocked the stone coffin's attack. The two of them pulled out their swords at the same time and immediately broke the stone coffin. After breaking the mechanism, they rescued Ance from inside. Ance stretched his back and said,""Phew, it feels much better." He looked at the two of them and asked,"What do you do?"”
"Sir, we are your burial objects."”
"Accompany…accompany what burial object? What are you saying?"
"Sir, we only took you out of the coffin. You are now in your grave."”
"What is it? Could it be Shu Mulberry…this guy…he…"
"You mean buried alive?" That's right."
"Stop playing, Fu Ziche. It's time to get down to business."”
"Yes, yes, yes…Sir, did you see a…"
"How dare Shu Mulberry lie to me again and again!" An Ce said. Damn it! Ungrateful, heartless fellow! He hadn't even gotten the Devil Refining Gourd, but he had ended up like this! I…I must take revenge!" After saying that, he ran away.
"Devil Refining Gourd?" It seemed like Shu Mulberry still had it. What about now? Should I go and catch that pig?”
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of him running away." Let's find something first. This coffin…"
"This coffin is very good, but it's empty…Wait! There seems to be a problem with this base. Try pushing it!”The two of them worked together to push the platform, and as expected, a secret door opened, revealing a stone room. As expected, he found the ruby in the stone room, so he immediately left the basement and rushed to the vent.
They rushed outside and found that Ance had been captured by the citizens. They forced him to tell them the way to leave the underground city. Ance said,""Hey! Let me go! These lowlifes…"
"You still don't know how to repent. You're really incurable."”
" I know the secret way out," Ance said." Let me go. I'll let you out."”
"Hmph!" If you want to beg for your life, why don't you be more honest!"
" What he said might be true," Fu Zi Che said." Since he was researching the Elixir of Immortality, he might have considered making a secret exit in the tomb."”
"Hmph!" Ance said. What a good guess. Do you want to go out or not? Hurry up and let me go.”The two of them asked the people to untie An Ce's rope. An Ce walked to a stone lion and activated the mechanism. He quickly crawled out of the secret passage and closed the entrance. Fu Ziche said in surprise,"It's too late!" The mechanism had been locked inside, and they could no longer open the stone lion's mechanism. Helpless, they could only go to the vent, hoping that Mo Zi and the others could find a way to open the stone door.
Fu Zi Che shouted from the vent and Mo Zi asked,""Did you get the thing?"
"I got it!" Fu Ziche replied. Teacher."
Mozi said," Very well. Now, you can break up your mechanical puppets." Use the golem's heart and drag the parts to my side. Give me the ruby as well. Do you understand?”
"Understood, I'll do it immediately."”He dismantled the golem and let the big rat Wang Fu drag the parts out of the vent. Mo Zi was waiting outside, reassembling the golem and placing the ruby inside.
Gongshu Ban understood what Mo Zi was thinking and smiled."Hahaha, old man Mo, do you want to use that?”Mo Zi finally finished assembling the golem. The golem started moving again. It walked to the front of the door and actually released a red light from its body. It scanned the stone door and immediately opened a circular gap in the stone door, causing everyone to be stunned. "How is it?" Gongshu Ban asked. Was it scary enough? We originally agreed to give up on using this weapon, but we didn't expect that there would be a day when we would still need to use it.”
Guigu 'zi said," Don't make a big deal out of it. This isn't something ordinary people should know. Just pretend you didn't see it."”
"Hmph, it's always like this. What's so fun about it?" Gongshu said.”
"Let's go in and take a look," Mo Zi said.”Everyone entered the underground city together and opened the mechanism. Fu Zi Che and Zhu Shi Zi could finally leave. They climbed back outside together. "Greetings, teachers." Fu Ziche stepped forward and greeted them.”
"Alright, don't be so polite," Guigu 'zi said. Where's the patterned brocade? Why don't I see her?"
"I told her to go to Daliang to ask for help from the teacher," Fu Ziche said.”
"What a coincidence," Mo Zi said."I didn't meet her.”
"I'm going to find her and continue the mission," Fu Ziche said.”
"It's what I should do. Don't let anything happen to her," Guigu 'zi said.”
Mozi said," We still have to go to other countries to persuade them to deal with Shu Mulberry. You are still the same. After you find the patterned brocade, you can continue to take back the Lianyao Flask.”
"Yes, disciple." Fu Ziche replied.
At this moment, Bochang walked in front of Fu Ziche and said,""Young Master Fu, Eldest Miss left with the Wei Country's military officers.”
"Wei Country's military officer?"
"Yes, a young master called Pang Juan took her away. I should have come to tell you."
"Thank you, Uncle Bochang. I'm eternally grateful.”
"You're welcome. It's what I should do."
"I really don't understand. Why would the Wei Country's military officer and Junior Brother Pang Juan…" Fu Ziche said.
Guigu 'zi said," I once ordered Pang Juan to go to the Wei Kingdom to persuade him, but I don't understand why he came to the Han Kingdom. I won't know unless I ask him personally."”
"Fu Ziche," Mozi asked,"did you also take part in your task of casting stones?"”
"Yes, I am. Senior Brother is here to help."
Mo Zi walked up to Zhu Shizi and Zhu Shizi quickly bowed and said,""Teacher, this disciple is too ashamed to see you."
"You left the Mohist Sect without permission. I know your difficulties," said Mozi. You're just afraid that the nobles you've offended will come looking for trouble with us. However, you have too many scruples about righteousness. If you have so many scruples, how can you completely implement it?”
"Yes, I understand."
"However, you did a good job with the plebeian gang. I admire you very much.”
"Thank you, teacher."
"Alright, it's more important to finish the current work first. We still have to go. You can help junior brother finish the task first.”
"Yes, teacher." Everyone parted ways and set off on their own. Fu Ziche, Cast Stone, and the golem left Changge Town and headed north. Cast Stone said,""There is a checkpoint ahead. Remember that the Han army is preparing to use force.”
Fu Ziche nodded." Let's go ask Han Country's General Han Qian. He might be able to help us."”So they first returned to Han Country's Xinzheng and came to Han Qian's military camp again. When Fu Ziche asked him how to pass through Wei Country's checkpoint, Han Qian said,""The password is 'There's a ghost behind you'. Say this and the soldiers at the checkpoint will let you pass.”
Fu Ziche thanked Han Qian and continued on his way. Soon, they arrived at the checkpoint set up by the Wei army. They used this password to successfully pass through the checkpoint. When they arrived at a forest, they suddenly saw a large group of mechanical soldiers stationed there."Not good! We're surrounded!" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.""Hey! Senior Brother Fu!"
Fu Ziche felt that it was very familiar. Then, he heard the person call out,""I'm here!" Fu Ziche looked closer and saw a person standing on the mountain in the distance. It was Sun Bin. He said happily,""Sun Bin! So it was you! Are these your mechanical puppets?"
"Come up first!" Sun Bin said. There was a cave on the southern mountain wall. After entering, it would lead to this place.”Therefore, Fu Zi Che and the others followed the instructions and passed through the cave to meet Sun Bin on the mountain.
"Senior Brother Fu, why are you here?" Sun Bin asked after everyone greeted him. Why haven't you seen this one before?"
"Oh, he's the gang leader of the Shuren Gang," Fu Ziche said. Come with me on a mission now."
"Hello, little brother."”
"I've heard a lot about you!" Sun Bin said. I'm Guigu 'zi's student, Sun Bin. Senior Brother Cast Stone was also from the Mo Sect, right? Then I should call you senior brother. That's right! I was still wondering, not long ago I saw Wenjin jiejie and Pang Juan following Wei country's diplomat past! At that time, I didn't come forward to acknowledge him, afraid that I would hinder Pang Juan's mission. I wonder how the situation is now?"
Fu Zi Che said," Ai, Wen Jin was going to ask Teacher Mo Zi for help, but we've already escaped."”
"Oh?" Sun Bin said. So that's how it is. Then hurry up and chase her back.”
Thus, they did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Sun Bin, they continued to set off for Daliang.
