"You're the smartest, you're the bravest, you're the best. None of us can compare to you, so that's okay. Let's go quickly, we're about to freeze to death." Xue Yuran complained.
"You don't mean what you say! You are such a difficult girl to get along with."
The two hugged each other and left the bronze door mechanism, continuing to walk along the secret passage.
After walking another hundred steps, the shape of the passage ahead suddenly changed, and they both stopped at the same time. Xue Yuran looked forward and said: "The underground cave has changed. There are large holes at the mouth of the bowl on both sides of the front passage, like a leaky sieve. It must be some kind of dangerous mechanism."
"Unless Lu Huotang is idle and builds some kind of aesthetic building underground, then this must be a mechanism. But it's boring enough. Why do you think there are so many mechanisms in the secret escape tunnel of King Tiandu?" This is not a waste of effort. Let me test the power of this mechanism first."
Luofan picked up a big stone from the ground and threw it forward.
The stone fell to the ground, "Hoo! Hoo!" Then a whistling sound was heard, and a gust of cold wind and rain blew out from the holes in the wall. The stone froze into ice in the blink of an eye on the ground, and soon the cold wind and rain stopped.
"Wow, it turns out that these holes are for blowing cold water. As soon as a person steps into them and triggers the mechanism, cold water will blow out from the holes on both sides and freeze the person. Now the underground river is flowing with ice water, so the ice blown out of the wall is Water. I guess when the hot water river comes, the water blown out of this hole will be boiling water. Lu Huotang is really a master of making mechanisms according to local conditions. I think this passage is at least a hundred feet long. If I force my way through, I should just force it. If you can get through, you will probably freeze to death inside."
"Since there is a trap, there must be a mechanism to control it. Let's look for it." Xue Yuran said.
The two of them looked around, but couldn't see any mechanism.
"There is no mechanism control switch, so why is this happening? How did King Du and the others pass through this ice cave that day?" Xue Yuran asked doubtfully.
"There is no switch, which only means that the ice cave itself has a way to break it. Did you just find out? The holes in the wall are caused by the heavy pressure on the ground, which triggers the underground spring buckle and opens the holes to blow cold water in. And when the stone stopped moving, the mechanism soon stopped. So, I guess there should be a route leading to the outside in the passage in front that can lead to the outside without punishing the mechanism." Luo Fan analyzed.
"It makes sense. It's just that except for King Tiandu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for others to guess which step will not trigger the mechanism. If we want to get through, don't we have to test it out step by step." Xue Yuran.
"Of course. But it's not difficult. Since there is a pattern, it shouldn't be difficult. Let me try it."
Luofan let go of Xue Yuran, put his coat on her body, and then took off his underwear.
"Why did you take off all your clothes when you were trying the mechanism? Do you want to freeze yourself to death?" Xue Yuran turned her head and said displeased.
"You don't know this. These thin clothes turn into ice as soon as they are wet with cold water. They can't keep you warm at all. Now I finally dried it and it can't get wet again. I'm going to test the mechanism for a while and I'll be back soon. Wear dry clothes, it's safer." Luo Fan.
"You are quite experienced." Xue Yuran said again.
Luofan took off his clothes and jumped into the ice cave in one step. Sure enough, he didn't step on the mechanism in the first step, and no cold rain blew out of the ice cave, so he carved a cross on the ground with his dagger. In this way, we continue to experiment inwards. As he thought, some places will trigger the mechanism, and some places will not trigger the mechanism.
In this way, after a dozen steps, he had already discovered the pattern of triggering the mechanism. Fei Shen ran back on a safe route, quickly picked up dry clothes and put them on, smiling: "I found a pattern, you see."
"The opposite corners of every three floor tiles are safe places, and the distance of three steps, neither far nor close, fits perfectly with the Wind and Thunder Kick Technique. It seems that the solution to this mechanism is indeed prepared for King Tiandu. It is also for you. It's quite simple." Xue Yuran said, having already discovered the mechanism.
"Hey, no matter how smart the mechanism is, you will always die. It is of course simple for me. Then let's go, I will carry you on my back. This way, if an accident happens, you will have time to escape."
After saying that, Luofan skillfully carried Xue Yuran on his back and walked quickly through the ice cave with a strong body.
After walking through the Baizhang Ice Cave, the temperature in front gradually became scorching.
Luofan put down Xue Yuran and said with a smile: "Look, just after passing the ice water cave, the temperature has become higher. Isn't there a hot water river blocking the way ahead?"
The two of them walked forward for more than ten steps, when suddenly the hot breath hit their faces, and the front was red, as if Danxia had splashed on the ground, and the red oil soup pot had overturned and flowed.
"Lava lake! Wow! This is so amazing!"
The two walked forward and were surprised to see that what was blocking their way was not a hot water river, but a 100-foot-wide magma lake! The lava in the magma lake was rolling and the steam was painful, like a big furnace.
Xue Yuran sighed: "No wonder there is a hot water river underground, it should be the reason of the magma lake. In that case, there should be an ice spring underground. It is indeed a treasure land of dynasty Feng Shui. There are two heavens of water and fire underground. It is really a good thing. The dragon and the phoenix live in a blessed land."
"Well, this underground place is quite interesting, but it's a pity that it has become a part of the human mind's mechanism. No matter how good the feng shui is, it has long been ruined. Look for the mechanism, this lake is not easy to break into." Luo Fan.
The two of them took a look around the magma lake and saw a huge stone lion that was two feet tall.
"Wow! What a big lion. This should be the mechanism for crossing the lava lake. How to use this lion?" Luo Fan jumped onto the lion's head and stood on top of it, smiling triumphantly.
"Look, there is a copper ring on the lion's neck. You can try to pull the copper ring hard." Xue Yuran observed the lion and said.
Luofan nodded, flew down, and pulled off the copper ring with all his strength.
The copper ring was pulled off, and a huge golden gun came out of the lion's mouth with a sudden "howl", and a steel cable followed the golden gun. The golden gun flew across the magma lake and was nailed into the stone wall on the opposite shore.
"It seems that this is the mechanism for crossing the magma lake. There is only a broken steel cable. This is too stingy." Luo Fan complained.
"Actually, it's understandable. As a descendant of King Tiandu, if you don't have extraordinary courage and ability, you are naturally not worthy. Moreover, if this underground escape passage is used, it means that the world is in chaos. The one who survives the magma for the sake of the king If you don't even have the courage, then how can you save the world from collapse?" Xue Yuran.
"You've seen it quite clearly. This dynasty and that generation are not the same virtues. I conquer the country, and my descendants will sit on it. Those who conquer the country are mostly conscientious and ambitious. Those who guard the country later are not as good as the previous generation. Tell me about it. , for a person like Li Benxin, he has stayed in the deep palace all his life, with fine clothes and fine food. He probably doesn’t know what the people eat or wear. Just relying on the principles written in the book and the flattery of the ministers below can save the world from collapse. Chaos, he himself is the source of chaos."
"I know you are disloyal, why bother telling me. Let's go, this mechanism will be taken back soon. Don't go to the middle of the magma lake for a while, we will fall in." Xue Yuran said displeased.
"I've really become your escort! Okay, hurry up then! I guess there shouldn't be any traps behind you."
Luofan picked up Xue Yuran on his back, stepped on the steel rope, and then started to fly towards the other side of the magma lake. As I flew to the center of the magma lake, I suddenly heard a click, and the steel cable under my feet began to crack!
"What's going on!" Xue Yuran was so frightened by this sound that his back was instantly soaked with sweat!
"The rope has been tampered with! You can't die. Hold on tightly. Put your legs too high. Don't let the fire burn you! Close your eyes!" Luo Fan also sounded nervous and said coldly!
There was a loud click! The cable is completely broken! Luo Fan and Xue Yuran instantly fell from mid-air into the magma lake!
Xue Yuran felt the heat wave of falling and was so scared that she hugged Luofan tightly. However, the moment she fell into the magma lake, Luofan's luck and divine power instantly stepped on the surface of the magma lake, like a black lightning, and flew ashore in a few seconds.
When they came to the shore, Xue Yuran's clothes were already soaked. He was either too hot or too scared! Who knew that the steel cable would break in mid-air! Who would have known that Luofan could run effortlessly in the magma lake!
"Haha! You're scared! With my Qinggong, I can fly freely on the water surface, let alone a magma lake. Although the magma is hot, it is a molten solid after all, and its density is much higher than that of water. I am in Running on it is effortless, but the temperature is too high and I can't hold on for too long. If you are a real wind and thunder kick master, flying across this lake will not be difficult at all. This is the real test of this level!"
"You scared me to death if you didn't tell me earlier. You said the steel cable was artificially cut off. What's going on?" Xue Yuran asked again.
"I took a look just now. The entire steel cable is very smooth and has no wear and tear. And I used Qinggong to walk on it. The force was actually very gentle. Not to mention that a steel cable should not break even if it is a cotton rope. . Someone must have cut the steel cable intentionally." Luo Fan said with a smile.
"How is it possible! Only King Tiandu knows about the mechanism of this passage. Could it be that King Tiandu would cut off his secret escape route?" Xue Yuran was shocked and confused.
"Don't forget, Li Benxin opened the Riyuejing mechanism and spun the golden rope. Who did it has not yet been found out. Maybe someone has designed a plan to harm Li Benxin. . No matter, the person who can do this is definitely a big shot behind the scenes. I probably won’t be able to find him for a while. I think the terrain here is open and very warm, so let’s sleep here for a while!”
