Chapter 1650

After several days of traveling, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Huo Jilin came to a busy town.

They decided to rest here and find out more about the mysterious ancient road.

The three of them found an inn to stay in. As soon as Wang Kaixuan entered the room, he fell on the bed with his legs spread out, muttering, "Oh, I can finally have a good sleep."

Hu Bayi sat at the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "Fatty, don't sleep too much, we still have to find out the news."

Wang Kaixuan hummed, "I know, I know, let me take a nap first."

Huo Jilin was packing his luggage and said, "Old Hu, do you think we can get useful information here?"

Hu Bayi drank a sip of water and said, "Let's try it, maybe there will be unexpected gains."

After a while, the three of them came to the lobby downstairs. At this time, the lobby was very lively with people coming and going.

Hu Bayi found an empty seat and sat down, and called the waiter to order some wine and food. Wang Kaixuan looked at the table full of delicious food with shining eyes, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat.

While eating, Hu Bayi chatted with the guest next to him: "Brother, I want to ask you something. Have you heard of any mysterious places or legends around here?"

The guest looked at him and said, "Mysterious places? There are so many. I don't know which one you mean?"

Hu Bayi said, "For example, something related to the seabed or treasure."

The guest thought for a while and said, "The seabed? Oh, I remember, I heard that there is a fishing village not far from here. It is said that the fishermen there once saw a glowing palace on the sea."

Wang Kaixuan was excited when he heard it: "The glowing palace? Will it be related to the place we went before?"

The guest shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. It's just a legend."

Hu Bayi thanked the guest and continued to ask others.

At this time, an old man in a corner caught his attention. The old man was dressed simply, but there was a mysterious light in his eyes.

Hu Bayi walked over and said respectfully: "Old man, can I ask you something?"

The old man looked up at him and said slowly: "Young man, what do you want to ask?"

Hu Bayi briefly told their experience, and then asked: "Do you know more about the disappeared ancient road?"

The old man was silent for a while and said: "It is a cursed place. It is said that there are huge secrets and dangers hidden in it."

Wang Kaixuan came over and asked: "Old man, don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly."

The old man sighed and said: "Legend has it that the ancient road is a passage to another world, but to open this passage, a mysterious key is needed."

Huo Jilin asked: "Where is the key?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I just heard it from my ancestors."

Hu Bayi said: "Thank you for your advice."

The three returned to their seats and fell into deep thought.

Wang Kaixuan said, "Old Hu, do you think we can find the key?"

Hu Bayi said, "Anyway, let's go to the fishing village first."

The next day, they set out for the fishing village.

When they arrived at the fishing village, they asked the villagers about the glowing palace.

A fisherman said, "That happened a long time ago, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Hu Bayi said, "Brother, please tell us more about it."

The fisherman thought for a while and said, "It is said that the palace will only appear on the night of the full moon."

Wang Kaixuan said excitedly, "Then let's wait here until the night of the full moon."

The night of the full moon came soon, and the three of them came to the beach to wait.

Sure enough, a looming palace appeared on the sea.

Wang Kaixuan said excitedly, "Old Hu, look, there is really a palace!"

Hu Bayi said, "Don't worry, be careful of danger."

They approached the palace cautiously.

Just then, a voice came from the palace: "You are finally here."

The three were startled.

Hu Bayi shouted, "Who is it?"

A figure walked out of the palace...

Huh!

In the dim moonlight, Hu Bayi and others finally saw the appearance of the person coming.

This was an old man with a vicissitudes of life. His eyes were deep and mysterious. He was wearing an ancient robe that fluttered slightly in the sea breeze.

Hu Bayi looked at him vigilantly and asked, "Who are you? Why do you say we are finally here?"

The old man smiled slightly, his voice low and hoarse: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, children. I am the guardian of this palace."

Wang Kaixuan widened his eyes.eyes, and said in surprise: "Guardian? Then you must know a lot of secrets about this place, right?"

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, I know you are looking for the secret of the disappeared ancient road."

Huo Jilin walked forward eagerly: "Then can you tell us how to find the key to open the ancient road?"

The old man was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "It is not easy to get the key. You must pass three tests."

Hu Bayi frowned: "Three tests? What kind of tests are they?"

The old man raised his hand and pointed to the depths of the palace: "The first test is courage. In the depths of the palace, there is a ferocious monster, you have to defeat it."

Wang Kaixuan swallowed: "Monster? This is a bit tricky."

Hu Bayi patted his shoulder: "Don't be afraid, Fatty, let's face it together."

The three followed the old man into the depths of the palace, and they really heard a low roar. A huge monster appeared in front of them, baring its fangs and claws.

Hu Bayi clenched his weapon and shouted, "Everyone be careful!"

Although Wang Kaixuan was afraid, he also plucked up the courage to rush forward. After a fierce fight, they finally succeeded in defeating the monster.

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, you passed the first test. Next, it's the test of wisdom."

He took them to a room full of various mechanisms and puzzles.

Hu Bayi carefully observed the surrounding environment and began to think about how to solve these puzzles.

Wang Kaixuan stamped his feet anxiously: "What is this, Lao Hu, you should find a way quickly."

Huo Jilin was also trying to find clues.

After racking his brains, Hu Bayi finally found a way to crack the mechanism and successfully passed the second test.

The old man showed an approving expression on his face: "Very good, now there is only one last test left, that is the test of the heart."

He took them to a mirror, which reflected the fear and desire deep in their hearts.

The old man said: "Only by overcoming the fear and desire in your heart can you pass this test."

Hu Bayi looked at himself in the mirror and fell into deep thought. Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but shout: "How can we overcome this?"

Huo Jilin took a deep breath and said: "We must believe in ourselves and stick to our hearts."

After a struggle, the three finally defeated themselves and passed the last test.
