Chapter 1835 What Happens If You're Wrong

Old Liu took out his phone and threw it towards the fire, "Can you use this? Look at the photos inside."

Old Liu's phone drew an arc in the air and landed near the light, where it was held suspended.

Old Liu could still see the light on the phone screen flickering, but he couldn't see who was holding his phone and looking through it.

Old Liu had been studying the Huangquan Secret Archives, and even when he was out, he would take a few glances at the photos on his phone.

After Nan Gongzhen flipped through it a few times, he said in a slightly urgent tone, "How many volumes of the Huangquan Secret Archives do you have?"

"Six volumes!" Old Liu deliberately said two more.

Nan Gongzhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "How much of the ciphertext in the last three volumes do you recognize?"

"Not too much!" Old Liu knew that there were indeed some special texts in the last volume of the Huangquan Secret Archives.

Old Liu had searched through all the classics, but he couldn't figure out what was written on them.

For this reason, Old Liu even specifically asked Shang Xingyan to come and study it together, but Shang Xingyan couldn't decipher the meaning of the ciphertext either.

Old Liu could only try to decipher the ciphertext himself. Over the years, he had managed to figure out some of it, but he hadn't analyzed the true meaning of the ciphertext.

Nan Gongzhen hesitated again and again before saying, "I want you to help me decipher a piece of ciphertext. What do you want?"

Old Liu said, "We only need the entire Liangjie Hall to safely evacuate from the Yin-Yang Inn. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Nan Gongzhen said in surprise, "Is it that simple? You don't want the remains of the emperor?"

Old Liu shook his head and smiled, "We are not interested in the remains of the emperor. If you are the owner of the Yin-Yang Inn, you must know the inn inside and out."

"Haven't you noticed that my master was forced to enter the Yin-Yang Inn?"

"He has never cared about the emperor's remains. Even if you grind the emperor's bones to ashes, my master will not stop you."

"We don't really have any conflicts of interest. Do we?"

Nan Gongzhen hummed and said, "Come with me! If you decipher the ciphertext, I will send you out of the inn."

Old Liu unfolded his fan, "Our people from Liangjie Hall are being hunted down by Jiang Chen. Shouldn't you solve Jiang Chen's problem first?"

Nan Gongzhen chuckled, "I see that your master's cultivation is not weak, and he seems to be able to hold on for a while. We'll talk after you decipher the ciphertext."

"There's no such thing as only taking advantage and not giving anything in return, is there?"

Old Liu shook his fan and said, "As a friend said, a transaction must be voluntary and fair."

"Doesn't friend think that having a buy and a sell is more appropriate?"

Nan Gongzhen laughed and said, "The strategist is right! This way, please!"

Old Liu and Hei Ye Xiao looked at each other and walked in the direction of the light.

Now they were sure that Nan Gongzhen had been monitoring the movements of every one of them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to call out Old Liu's identity in one breath.

The reason he hadn't appeared was because he was watching Jiang Chen and Di Xiansheng fight each other.

Old Liu and Hei Ye Xiao walked forward more than ten steps and finally saw Nan Gongzhen's back. The other party wasn't worried that Old Liu and the others would attack from behind, so he led the way in front of them at a leisurely pace.

After Hei Ye Xiao took a few steps, he quietly transmitted his voice, "We are no longer in the Central Region space. I remember that there should be a building in the direction we walked out."

Old Liu also transmitted his voice, "Look at the top of that person's head!"

When Hei Ye Xiao looked up, he vaguely saw a door-shaped shadow appearing above Nan Gongzhen's head.

The three of them were walking from an invisible door to another space.

Hei Ye Xiao couldn't help but be shocked, "What kind of secret technique is this?"

"A sorcerer can't travel in different spaces, can he?"

Old Liu responded, "This should not be a secret technique, but an ancient divine miracle."

"The reason why the Spirit Probe Hands can become transcendent existences beyond sorcerers and sects is that they have found countless ancient divine miracles in the secret realms. This is also why the top figures in the art of sorcery are unwilling to provoke the Spirit Probe Hands."

"Nan Gongzhen's own cultivation may not be as good as the master's, but the divine miracle he controls may be something that even Jiang Chen can't deal with."

"Act according to the circumstances later."

While the two were constantly transmitting their voices, Nan Gongzhen, who was walking in front, had stopped and pointed to a door frame standing not far away, "This is the ciphertext I want you to decipher."

When Old Liu looked in the direction Nan Gongzhen was pointing, he only saw a redwood door frame about three meters high and one and a half meters wide, standing empty in the vast white fog.

Old Liu looked around the door frame and saw pieces of broken stone. The symbols carved on those stones were exactly the same as those in the Huangquan Secret Archives.

Old Liu walked up and picked up a stone, "Are you asking me to put the stones here together inside the door frame?"

"More than that!" Nan Gongzhen said, "It's not difficult to put the stones together, the difficulty lies in how you translate the words on them."

Old Liu weighed the stone in his hand and said, "I want to know, what will happen if I put it together wrong, or translate it wrong?"

Nan Gongzhen said in a deep voice, "If you put it together wrong, someone will die. If you translate it wrong, many people will die."
