The other people following behind saw the two people leading the way suddenly stopped, so they quietly asked:
"What's going on ahead? Why did you stop?"
Abdul and Li Li took turns carrying Wang Qiang, a big fat man, and it was very difficult to walk up the moss-covered stairs.
Afraid of waking him up, I had to plug his ears with paper balls.
The range of movement must be controlled properly, for fear of him falling.
Now all four of them were panting, and they didn't dare to neglect their hands.
"There is no road ahead."
Bai Lu turned around and replied to them.
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened and she pointed at the stone stairs behind everyone.
"No more, no more!"
"Nothing." Everyone looked back and saw that the stairs behind them disappeared one by one and were approaching them.
Suddenly they were so frightened that they hurried up the steps. The four people simply put the coffin board on their shoulders and heads, and lifted Wang Qiang to the platform at the top of the stairs in one breath.
With the help of Bai Lu and Lin Yi, several experts pulled each other and rushed to the platform at the top of the stairs.
Mr. Lu had some inconvenience in his legs and feet. When he was about to step up, the crutch in his hand suddenly slipped and he stumbled, half of his body sliding under the steps.
"Teacher Lu!"
"Lao Lu!"
Several people in front of him screamed, and it was too late to reach out and pull.
Mr. Lu instinctively stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the stone steps, but it was covered with moss, making it impossible for him to hold on, and he was about to fall down.
Lin Yi had quick eyes and quick hands, so he grabbed the flying tiger and threw it over.
The claws flew towards Mr. Lu, wrapped around his waist several times, and finally made a twist with the claws, making a tight knot, and tightly wrapped around Mr. Lu's chest.
At the same time, the stone steps under his feet suddenly disappeared, and the crutch in his hand slipped and fell into the darkness beneath him.
Mr. Lu was suspended in the air by the flying tiger's claws.
Lin Yi grasped the tail end of the flying tiger's claw with both hands. He had no way to rely on his feet. He had already tilted to the extreme and still couldn't stop sliding down.
Upon seeing this, Abdul and others quickly put down the coffin boards and came to help.
The two people at their feet were hugging Lin Yi's calf, and Abu was holding Lin Yi's waist.
Bai Lu, Xiao Song, and Li Li worked together to pull the rope and pull Mr. Lu up.
With the combined efforts of everyone, Mr. Lu was finally dragged up.
The old man almost lost half his life here. Now he is out of breath and his face is as white as a piece of paper.
"Thank you. Thank you. Comrade Xiao Lin, if it weren't for your sharp eyesight and quick hands, my life, Lu Shouzhong, would have been reimbursed here!"
Lin Yi was also very tired now. He sat down on the stone platform with his hands on his upper body.
"The old man has a hard life and should not die. He has been delivered to the Queen Mother of the West's house. They just won't accept you."
Speaking of this, everyone laughed in unison.
The tense atmosphere just now was finally eased.
"Why did these beautiful steps suddenly disappear?"
Lin Yi rubbed his red palms that were restrained by the steel rope, pointed to the stone walls on both sides and said:
"It's not disappearing, it's shrinking into the stone wall. Compared with before, the institutions here are already very friendly."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Compared with the previous "Xuanwu Bureau", which could kill people at every turn, this sudden disappearance of the steps would at best cut off their escape route.
If this thing suddenly retracted into the stone walls on both sides while they were still stepping on it, they might have fallen into an abyss by now.
"I guess the stone steps are designed like this just to prevent some people from coming up, or it has something to do with the length of time they stay on it. After all, in the eyes of the Jingjue people, after passing the 'Cool Breeze Mountain', their bodies have already It's as light as nothing, just the weight of your soul.
It doesn’t make much sense to think about this now, our real test is here! "
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at the fog-shrouded clouds and mountains in front of him.
Everyone fell silent.
The palace gate on the second floor was very close, but there was a natural chasm in front of them, and the way back was blocked.
"Does it really make people fly up?"
"Maybe the legend is true, and you will really become an immortal when you get here."
The two Lan Yun team members still had a dubious attitude towards everything they had experienced.
"Stop talking nonsense, haven't we come this far? Consultant Lin and Master Wang are both lying in coffins. Why can't they fly?"
Xiao Song immediately interrupted them.
Lin Yi stood up, turned on the flashlight, and looked around carefully.
"Consultant Lin, what's the gain?"
Li Li asked.
"Ordinarily, this is the second level of the 'Kunlun Secret Realm', which is the so-called 'Xuanpu'. I think several of you should have an impression of this thing, right?"
Lin Yi turned to several experts.
Mr. Lu sat on the ground and nodded.
"This theme appears in many murals of Han tombs. The 'hanging garden' painted by the painters of the Han Dynasty is like a blossoming lotus. The lower part is planted deep in the Kunlun Mountains. The upper one is similar to a lotus platform. Straight into the sky, it is only one step away from the real heaven."
Professor Yu also agreed with his remarks.
"If that's the case, I think there should be at least a mechanism here, but some means are needed to activate it."
Lin Yi came to the edge of the stone platform again, picked up the flying tiger claw, lowered it bit by bit, and then swayed back and forth a few times.
No devices similar to floating bridges or steel cables were found.
Bai Lu behind him suddenly patted his shoulder.
"Consultant Lin, look at this!"
Bai Lu pointed out a pattern on the ground to Lin Yi.
It turned out that on this lonely stone platform, a pattern of nine palaces and eight trigrams was drawn.
It was previously covered with moss and had not been discovered.
After everyone trampled randomly just now, this pattern was revealed.
Lin Yi knelt down and studied the Nine Palaces Bagua chart carefully.
It is not a pattern carved or painted on the ground.
Instead, it is made up of spliced stones, with gaps between them, like a puzzle embedded in a stone platform.
"If I guess correctly, this thing should open the password lock between here and the second-floor palace. If the password is unlocked, the road in front of us can be opened."
As Lin Yi spoke, he took out the compass from his backpack.
Seeing this, everyone gathered together to watch the excitement.
Along the way, he showed off his skills in Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Feng Shui, and finding dragon acupoints.
Whenever he encounters a situation, he can turn danger into good fortune, and everyone loves to see him show off his skills.
What's more, both the "Secret Technique of Yin Yang Feng Shui" and "Qi Men Dun Jia" were involved in solving the Nine Palaces Bagua, which just hit his target.
While everyone was paying close attention to Lin Yi's decryption, Wang Qiang, who had been lying quietly on the coffin board, actually sat up little by little.
