Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 60 Where's the Locked Room Mystery?
In the secret room, a beautiful body lay on the ground and a large tripod emitted fragrance.

But there is no fragrance, only deadness.

Zhang Ze took out a few blankets from his treasure bag and covered them with them.

A large black-gold tripod was placed in the middle of the secret room, with smoke curling in the air, burning the incense laced with drugs.

The little ball woke up, rolled around the cauldron, and sucked its fill.

Without looking at those poor people, Zhang Ze turned his back to the corner and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Zhang Ze, exhausted, took out a few pills from his treasure bag and swallowed them.

Feeling the medicinal power dissolving in my dantian and the spiritual energy flowing through my limbs and bones, I finally felt better.

However, since I haven't practiced the ancient method for a long time, I am not used to sitting in meditation.

My legs are numb.

Zhang Ze felt that he shouldn't have come up with such an idea suddenly.

"This crappy technique still doesn't work. I'll have to revise it myself when I have time."

He sighed and stuffed two more pills into his mouth, chewing them with a crunching sound like candy beans.

Time goes back to five minutes ago.

The streets were crowded and chaotic, and Zhang Ze had just seen Li Yueqi perform the escape technique. He felt like he had found his niche and didn't want to take another step.

"How about giving it a try?"

"To be on the safe side, I'd better add some cultivation before using it."

"System, add points, add to the second level of foundation building."

The magical movement skills of the foundation-building period cannot compare to the free movement of the golden elixir.

Most of them have limitations and are quite costly, and are usually used as a last resort to escape.

The Sword Sect is not so good in this aspect, they are more rigid.

Even the simplest escape technique can only be performed after reaching the late stage of foundation building.

The Five Elements Escape Technique of Longhu Mountain can be performed in the middle stage of foundation building, but it requires the support of Longhu Mountain's Taoist mental method.

But there are always loopholes in this kind of thing.

The Yuxin Sect takes the Tianzong’s mental method as its foundation and the Jianzong’s skills as its supplement.

The Lingxi Sect combined massage techniques with swordsmanship to develop the Lingxi Heart Method.

The traitors of the Beast Taming Sect of the Puppet Beast Sect only reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and later turned to practicing witchcraft.

This is the case with most of the cultivation methods of various small sects and schools, which last from a thousand years to less than a hundred years or even a few decades.

Although there is no upper limit, there is still some lower limit.

There are naturally also sects that mainly use the Sword Sect's mental methods and supplement them with Longhu Mountain's Taoism.

[Divine Sword Control] is a five-element escape technique activated by the sword sect's mental method.

Use the sword as a guide and practice the golden escape technique.

In terms of martial arts, it can be practiced as soon as the foundation is established.

I tried it in the trial space and found that there was indeed no problem.

After finding a secluded place, Zhang Ze raised his sword and pointed it towards the market town.

"Godspeed and fly the sword! Go...Fuck!"

Zhang Ze once again confirmed a truth, that there is a reason why some sects cannot recruit people.

After all, when they developed these skills, they seemed to have never considered the life and death of their disciples.

However, the person who developed this technique probably didn't expect that a disciple in the foundation-building stage would use this technique as a way to travel in a busy city.

In order to reduce the difficulty of use, the judgment atmosphere of this technique is somewhat broad. Any metal object will have an impact on the escape technique.

The trial space is empty and naturally undisturbed.

It is also no problem when escaping in the wild.

But this is a busy city with many teahouses and taverns.

The Golden Escape Technique not only reacted to the sword in Zhang Ze's hand, but also to all kinds of pots, pans, kitchen knives and iron pots in the market.

After using it, Zhang Ze felt that the sword in his hand weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't control it at all.

The tip of the sword tilted, and Zhang Ze was dragged diagonally into the ground along with the sword.

If Zhang Ze hadn't raised the tip of his sword again, who knows how deep he would have been buried alive.

Just as Zhang Ze was about to leave the thick soil and return to the ground, another huge suction force intercepted Zhang Ze halfway and brought him to this secret room.

It was the huge cauldron made of black iron that sucked Zhang Ze in.

The spiritual energy filled his dantian and Zhang Ze stood up.

Just at this moment, the incense in the furnace had burned out, and the little ball bounced back to Zhang Ze.

"Hey, what should we do?" asked Xiaoqiu.

The little ball is still just a ball. Now it has no other magical powers except chatting, smelling and scaring dogs.

There used to be a teleportation array in the secret room, but it has now been destroyed.

Because of the presence of the large cauldron in the secret room, he couldn't use the divine sword. Apart from asking for help, Xiaoqiu couldn't think of any other way to escape.

Zhang Ze stared at the cauldron for a while and said, "It's not difficult to leave."

"Just put this big tripod into your treasure bag."

Apart from being large and heavy, there is nothing special about this cauldron. It is not a magical weapon but just an ordinary object.

So if the big tripod is in the way, just pack it up and take it away. Why think so much about it?

Xiaoqiu was stunned when he heard the voice, "Is this possible?"

"Learn, learning never ends." Zhang Ze kicked the small ball into his pocket, and then put the big tripod into his treasure bag.

Although he had found a way to escape, Zhang Ze was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he walked towards the corpses.

Zhang Ze always felt like he had seen one of them somewhere.

Zhang Ze squatted beside the corpse and looked at it for a while before he remembered her origins.

In the City Lord's Mansion, she is a maid in the mansion.

I pressed my wrist and it was still soft, but I couldn't tell how long he had been dead.

First, Zhang Ze was a gamer in his previous life and didn’t understand criminal investigation.

Secondly, this is a world of cultivating immortals.

Not to mention making the corpse go soft, there are plenty of ways to make it stand up and dance, or even grow flesh on the bones.

The coroner's method is of little use.

Zhang Ze saw that the female corpse was holding something in her hand.

He gently pried open the corpse's hands and took the thing out.

It's a jade pendant.

It's somewhat similar to the one on Mu Qiu.

Picking up the jade pendant, he discovered that it was indeed engraved with the emblem of the Yuxin Sect.

And this woman is a maid in the city lord's mansion.

Zhang Ze always felt that it was a coincidence.

"Is this plot a bit melodramatic?"

Just as Zhang Ze was about to leave, a slight sound of a mechanism turning suddenly came from above his head.

The next second, the stone ceiling, which had been closed tightly, opened a gap silently.

Revealing the upper trail stairs.

Li Yueqi, Chen Qin and several monks from the Sword Hall stood on it.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.

Zhang Ze calculated the time and it was almost dawn.

"Good morning, have you eaten?" he asked.

"You," Chen Qin looked at his senior brother as if he had something to say.

However, the story that followed did not go according to the script.

There was no outbreak of literary youth syndrome. The junior sister was whining and complaining like crazy after misunderstanding her senior brother.

The sword master, who did not have a peacock's tail spread, questioned why Zhang Ze was in the secret room and slandered him as the murderer.

There was no annoying female supporting role saying bad things about Zhang Ze in Chen Qin's ear and fanning the flames.

There is also no classic scene where Zhang Ze deduces the truth and suddenly turns around and slaps himself in the face with his domineering aura.

Several people came down the stairs, and the monks from the sword hall skillfully collected the bodies with special magic tools and chose a day for burial.

In this regard, the Sword Sect has always been very humanistic.

Chen Qin and Li Yueqi surrounded Zhang Ze.

"How did you get in?"

That's their only problem.

Zhang Ze thought about it.

I explained how I got here in a way that wasn't too embarrassing.

"It turns out there is no restriction under the secret room. If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered Xiaoqin to unlock the mechanism." Li Yueqi thought thoughtfully.

"Brother, please teach me that trick. I have never performed the escape technique by myself." This was Chen Qin's thought.

Zhang Ze was speechless. What happened to the locked room reasoning?
"Aren't you going to ask what this secret room is about?"

Zhang Ze waved the jade pendant in his hand in front of the two of them.

Li Yueqi glanced at the jade pendant and said, "It belongs to Mu Qiu, right?"

Chen Qin said with disgust, "That man is dead. The clue to this secret room was found in his room."

"what?"
