Although Old Man Zhang has the word "virtue" in his name, this operation is really unethical!
Don’t you know that everyone is almost scared to death by him?
If the stone gate was locked, everyone would still be having fun!
Fortunately, the result was good, and the Vajra Gate, which weighed more than 10,000 kilograms, finally opened.
As the stone door slowly lifted up, a long corridor was revealed behind it. As far as the eye could see, there was darkness with no end in sight.
Jin Huan ordered the soldiers to light torches, and then he left a group of soldiers to guard the stone gate in order to respond.
Then, he ordered a team of ten men to hold torches to clear the way in front of him, and he followed with the rest of the Wolf Guards.
Visitors from the Three Religions and those from the Jianghu who came in also followed closely, fearing that someone else would pick up the treasure if they were a step too late.
And with the lighting of the torch, the corridor was naturally not as dark as before, and the group moved forward slowly.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to hurry up, it's just that there's no telling what mechanism is inside this underground palace, and no one wants to die easily, so they are on guard every step they take.
Everyone walked straight for a distance and found that there was a wall in front of them, so they could only turn left. Then they walked straight for a while and found that they had to turn right next...
After half an hour of this cycle, Jin Huan raised his hand and ordered the soldiers to stop, and the others followed suit.
General Jin Huan's face was gloomy. He had finally cracked the Vajra Gate, but he couldn't get out after wandering in the corridor for a long time.
Now he also saw that this was obviously a maze!
Next, he asked the soldiers to make a mark every time they walked. However, after walking for nearly half an hour, they returned to the place where they had marked before.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that he encountered the legendary "ghost hitting the wall"?
This is very possible, after all, the place where they are now is a large tomb.
At this time, the man in white from the Xuantian Sect stood up, and after a brief pause, he said uncertainly: "General Jin, is it possible that this corridor is moving?"
Jin Huan thought this was impossible for the first time. Was the corridor moving? What a joke! It's not alive.
But he had to pay attention to what the man in white said. After all, with his status, he would not be unreasonable.
This person's name is Meng Feiyu, and he is an outstanding figure among the outer disciples of Xuantian Sect. His uncle is also an elder of Xuantian Sect. He is somewhat powerful and quite popular.
But this man is not a second-generation ancestor who is just waiting to die. He has some status in the Xuantian Sect where geniuses gather. Although he is only an outer sect, his strength cannot be underestimated.
Jin Huan thought for a moment and came up with a way: he would let a soldier stay where he was every time he walked, and then let the soldier hold one end of the rope.
Then, everyone continued to move forward, leaving one soldier behind after walking for a while, and so on, connecting all the soldiers with ropes.
Although this method is a bit stupid, it is a good method to verify whether the tunnel is moving as Meng Feiyu said.
Just when the soldiers had left more than thirty people behind, the rope in the hand of the soldier closest to everyone suddenly tightened, and then a strong force came, dragging the soldier towards the rear.
Due to the sudden force, the soldier lost his balance and was dragged sliding on the ground.
Then, the soldier hit the wall hard.
Everyone hurried forward to check and found that the soldier was fine. He just hit his head on the wall and passed out. His body was covered with blood marks from being dragged along.
As for other places, those soldiers who stayed almost encountered similar situations. They were caught off guard and many were injured.
There was also an unlucky guy who was pulled between the stone walls by the huge force from the rope. Before he could escape, he was crushed into a meat pie by the moving stone walls. It was terrible!
The situation in front of him also verified Meng Feiyu's conjecture. The stone walls in the corridor were indeed moving, but the price of this verification was a bit high.
Jin Huan's face was gloomy. He had just entered the underground palace and walked for a while, but he temporarily lost contact with more than 30 soldiers. If this continues, how can he suppress such people with fewer and fewer manpower? people.
Let’s not talk about the people from the three sects, let’s just say that these Jianghu people are not that simple. Once the situation is not good, these people will definitely be the first to add insult to injury.
Jin Huan turned to the people behind him and raised his hands, saying, "Do you have any ideas to crack it?"
This time, the Jianghu people looked at him with a little dodge. Jin Huan looked at this scene and cursed in his heart: "A bunch of trash!"
Then, he turned his attention to Meng Feiyu. After all, the former was the first to discover that there was a problem with this corridor. Maybe there is a solution?
Meng Feiyu thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "In my opinion, this corridor is arranged according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Whenever we move forward for a certain distance, the stone wall behind will automatically move."
"As a result, the road we walked through before was blocked, and the place where the wall used to be became a road again. Moreover, the entire outer circle of the corridor was slowly rotating, and we kept walking in place."
"If you want to crack the mechanism of this tunnel, it will probably take a lot of time, and what we lack most now is time. Therefore, I suggest breaking through by force!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but wonder: How could you force a breakthrough?
Meng Feiyu continued: "This corridor is a maze with complex formations, but the walls are not very thick. It is incomparable to the Diamond Gate outside which weighs more than ten thousand kilograms, so just choose a direction and go straight. If you encounter a stone wall, go straight If you break the rules and move forward, you will definitely be able to get out!"
When everyone heard this, you looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't have any good ideas for the time being, so they could only follow Meng Feiyu's method.
I saw Meng Feiyu taking out a small round object, with a transparent crystal stone sheet covering the front. Looking through the sheet, I saw a pointer swinging left and right inside.
He placed the small thing horizontally in the palm of his hand, then walked in place, turning his body left and right, and the pointer of the small thing in his hand kept swinging as his body turned.
After he fiddled with it a few times, the pointer pointed in a direction, and then he pointed his hand and said, "Go this way!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a wall not far away.
Everyone was dubious, and although Jin Huan was thinking the same as everyone else, he still gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to go up and demolish the wall.
A few soldiers brought hammers and other tools and started smashing into the wall, and the demolition was completed in a short time.
It has to be said that Jin Huan and others are quite well prepared for this operation, otherwise how could a Canglang Guard whose mission is combat bring these things.
As the stone wall was demolished, a road appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that this method was effective, everyone hurriedly followed, and after demolishing several walls one after another, they finally came out of the corridor and came to a huge stone chamber.
At this point, everyone finally couldn't help but let out a long breath. After all, they had been suffocating in the corridor for so long.
At this time, the broken knife in Lin Yan's hand actually shook slightly. Lin Yan quickly asked in his heart: "Mr. Qiu?"
The shaking of the broken knife slowly stopped, and Qiu Lao's voice came in his mind: "It's okay! I remembered some past events!"
The round gadget that Meng Feiyu took out before was actually made by Momen. The process itself is not complicated, it just places a magnet needle in the center of the disk, which can be used to identify the north and south directions.
But now that Momen has been destroyed for thirty years, when I see this little thing in the hands of a disciple of Xuantian Sect, I can't help but miss people, and my emotions are a little out of control.
Back then, Mo Sect's mechanism skills were unparalleled in the world and after being labeled as the "Demon Sect", the sect was besieged, and Xuantian Sect's shadow was definitely among them.
At that time, there were formations composed of various mechanical techniques arranged around the Momen headquarters, but they played a negligible role in the battle to exterminate the sect.
Now it seems that the disciples of Xuantian Sect thirty years later have some ability to crack the previous mechanism. Thinking about it, it is too coincidental that the mechanism formation of protecting the sect suddenly failed.
These things will eventually be investigated clearly, and blood debts will eventually have to be paid for with blood!
Since Lin Yan inherited that man's mantle, he must eventually shoulder this responsibility.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the huge stone chamber in front of them, and no one noticed the shaking of the broken knife in his hand, except Zhang Deshou, who was next to him, and his eyebrows twitched inadvertently.
The stone chamber is in the shape of a semicircle, and there are eight doors on the opposite stone wall. There are words on the doors, from left to right: Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Jing, and Death.
Obviously these eight doors lead to eight different passages, but I don't know which door is the correct one.
There is a stone tablet erected in the open space not far in front of the eight gates.
Because so much time has passed, the stone tablet looks dilapidated, and the writing on it has also been worn a lot, but it is still vaguely legible.
I saw it read: "Those who trespass into the underground palace will die!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they saw this. The agencies they had experienced before were relatively conservative, and there were not many casualties among the group.
But looking at the hostility in the words left on the stone tablet, I'm afraid the road ahead won't be so easy. It may be a real life-or-death situation!
Everyone's hesitation only lasted for a moment before they planned to move on. After all, most of the people who come here are here for the treasures in the underground palace. Now that they haven't even seen the treasures, how can they be scared away by just a word?
Looking at the eight doors in front of them, everyone was making calculations in their hearts.
Among the eight gates, the Open Gate, Closed Gate, and Life Gate represent auspiciousness; Du Gate and Jing Gate sometimes correspond to good luck, and sometimes misfortune; while the Death Gate, Shock Gate, and Injury Gate represent misfortune.
Among them, the door of death represents a sign of great misfortune!
Jin Huan led the remaining 60 to 70 Canglang Guards and chose to open the door, while Meng Feiyu of the Xuantian Sect led the remaining disciples and chose to close the door.
The fat monk and his group chanted Buddha's name and chose Dumen because "Du" has a hidden meaning, and this monk is very good.
The young Confucian scholar chose Jingmen, with a calm smile on his face, looking quite confident.
Among the ten Jianghu people who came in, the hook-nosed old man from the Flying Eagle Sect chose the Jingmen Gate, believing that after the thrill, there would be a reward; the strong man from the Ancient Sword Sect chose the Injury Gate; He followed the fat monk's team and didn't care whether others disliked him or not.
The remaining Jianghu people all chose the Shengmen. Of course, Jin Huan and the people from the Three Religions scorned them. They dared to choose the Shengmen who were clearly a trap. What a bunch of idiots!
Of course, this does not include two people, one is the old man with a goatee, Zhang Deshou, and the other is Lin Yan.
Old Man Zhang grinned and said to Lin Yan: "Do you dare to break through this door of death with me?"
Lin Yan didn't even think about it and said, "Why don't you dare!"
After everyone made their choices, they each stepped into the door. The stone door slowly closed, and the stone room returned to calm...
