Xiao Linyan looked in the direction Qiu Ye pointed, and there was indeed a piece of wood that was different from the surrounding ones. Then he observed carefully for a while and found that there was no place to start.
"Master Qiu, how can I open this secret passage?" Xiao Linyan raised his head and asked.
"Hmm~ I remember there should be a mechanism here." Master Qiu used the black broken knife to knock left and right here, and then said to Xiao Linyan.
Following Master Qiu's tinkering, a thin partition slowly receded in the middle of the wooden board, revealing a wooden nine-square grid, which looked like a combination lock. This Mo Sect is really inseparable from mechanism skills everywhere!
Seeing that Master Qiu had tinkered with the combination lock and it stopped moving, Xiao Linyan urged from the side: "Master Qiu, open it quickly!"
Mr. Qiu laughed "hehe" twice and said sheepishly: "Um, I seem to have forgotten my password?"
Xiao Linyan shouted in surprise: "Huh?" At the same time, he looked up and down at the old man Daoling, thinking: Is this old man reliable?
Master Qiu is also very embarrassed. He has been sealed here for thirty years. Who still remembers what the password is? What's even more troublesome is that this code lock was made by a mechanism master in the sect at that time. The nine-square grid must be arranged in the correct way, and there are only three chances. If the code is not entered correctly more than three times, the code lock will automatically lock. , it can be turned on again after one month.
"Don't panic, let me try!" Mr. Qiu comforted Xiao Linyan, and then he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"I remember it seemed like this!" Mr. Qiu fiddled with the blade for a while.
"wrong password!"
"I'll go! This thing can also make voice announcements?" Xiao Linyan said in surprise.
"Or is this it?" Mr. Qiu ignored him at the moment and continued to line up. His head seemed to be sweating. Of course, he didn't have skin that could sweat.
"wrong password!"
There was another input error prompt, and the flashing red light made Qiu Ye and Xiao Linyan even more nervous.
"I said Master Qiu, can you do it when you are old?" Xiao Linyan asked doubtfully.
Mr. Qiu made a gesture of "wiping sweat" with his hands, with a serious expression on his face, and silently thought to himself: This time we must succeed!
With another arrangement, there was no wrong voice prompt after completion. Just when the two thought they had succeeded, the hateful voice rang again: "Wrong password! The channel is closed, please try again in a month!"
After hearing this, Xiao Linyan collapsed on the spot: One month later? Staying in this hellish place with no food or water for a month? I guess I'll just keep company with the skeletons outside, so why try? Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Master Qiu with a resentful look. This old man is too unreliable!
Master Qiu also felt uncomfortable when he saw him. After all, he, a "local snake", had forgotten his own password, which was indeed not very honorable. But who knows that he only has half of the blade now, and has a lot of memory loss, and it has been so long, so it is not so difficult to understand if he doesn't remember it! He defended himself in his mind.
But looking at Xiao Linyan's increasingly "resentful" eyes, Mr. Qiu finally couldn't stand it any longer and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, this time it's my fault. Get out of the way and I'll take care of it!"
Xiao Linyan dodged as he was told, and saw Qiu Ye's head of smoke floating above the blade retracted into the black broken blade. Then the surrounding energy of heaven and earth began to converge crazily towards the blade, and the strange black light on the blade became more and more intense. It became more and more prosperous, and Qiu Ye shouted: "Open!"
The black broken knife in the air condensed into an illusory knife shadow. It stayed for a moment and then slashed towards the location of the combination lock. With a loud noise, dust flew up and smoke filled the air. Xiao Linyan waved his hand. When the smoke dissipated, he took a closer look and saw that all the original wooden boards and combination locks were gone. There were wooden remains scattered on the ground. .
This old man actually chopped it off, chopped it off! Isn't he angry because he couldn't solve the password?
As Qiu Lao's knife chopped the wooden board, the dark passage below was revealed. Looking down the steps, he didn't know where it led.
"Mr. Qiu, since you can just chop it off, why bother to crack the code?" Xiao Linyan asked with playful eyes as he looked at Mr. Qiu who had re-condensed into a head of smoke.
"What are you talking about? The passage is open, let's go quickly!" Mr. Qiu didn't bother him. After all, the combination lock was the work of the master of the sect's mechanism. He naturally didn't want to destroy it unless he had to. A decryption game like the code lock of the mechanism is played by people with high IQs. How can it be destroyed as roughly as a cow chewing a peony? Apparently he thought that he was a smart "person" because he had been influenced by his master, but he accidentally lost it. Forget it, just cut it off. The sect has been destroyed. Who is left with this thing to guard against?
Xiao Linyan took out the Japanese rice paper from his body, unscrewed the lid, blew it gently with his mouth, and it burned when it came into contact with the air. He held the fire folding bag in front, and Qiu Ye followed closely behind, each walking down the exposed stairs with a knife. To say that the stairs are quite long, it seems that the secret tunnel was dug quite deep at that time.
Xiao Linyan walked down slowly step by step. On the one hand, the light of Huozhezi was not enough to completely illuminate the darkness. On the other hand, this place was full of mechanical virtues. Who knew if there would be something inside this secret passage? If something suddenly triggers while walking, and if the boat accidentally capsizes in the gutter, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Master Qiu was a little amused when he saw his cautious look, and said, "Boy, feel free to go, there are no traps here!"
When Xiao Linyan heard this, he thought for a moment and understood: Yes, who set up any kind of trap in the secret passage used for retreat? It seemed that I was also nervous because of the agencies in front of me. I thought that there were agencies everywhere, but I was too cautious.
After walking some distance further, Xiao Linyan found a torch on the wall. The little guy danced around for a long time without touching it. He was so angry that Master Qiu finally pulled the torch off with the blade of his knife. Who told us, Xiao Lin Yan, to be too short?
I lit the torch with the fire stick in my hand. After so many years, I am lucky that the torch can still be used. Xiao Linyan held up the torch and continued to move forward. With the torch, the surrounding area became brighter, and the speed of each person and one sword naturally increased.
I walked around and around underground for a long time, probably for an hour or two. Just when Xiao Linyan couldn't hold on any longer, he finally saw the light!
Xiao Linyan struggled to pull away the weeds, twisted his body and climbed up, finally reaching the ground. He stood up straight, opened his arms, breathed the fresh air greedily, and thought to himself: Freedom is so good!
After doing the stretching exercise, Xiao Linyan turned his head and saw a bulge. He suddenly felt something was wrong. Then he turned to the front and looked at it, and his expression instantly became weird: This is - a cemetery?
