The reason why he agreed so happily was not that Lin Yan didn't care about his own life, but that he believed that this virtuous old man would definitely care about his life more than he did.
With this old man so greedy for money, would he seek his own death? Even if I beat Lin Yan to death, I wouldn’t believe it.
Since the old man chose the Death Gate, which seems to be the most dangerous among the eight gates, there must be a reason.
Anyway, given the old man's attitude of not benefiting others and focusing on self-interest, it would be right to follow him.
Old man Zhang opened the death door gently and entered, while Lin Yan followed closely, fully alert. Although he didn't believe that Old Man Zhang would do something he was unsure of, he still had to be cautious when making a Wannian Ship.
But as the two entered the door of death, they did not encounter the traps everywhere in their imaginations, and the matter of life and death did not happen.
Instead, behind the door is a stone round platform located on the "cliff".
In fact, it is not accurate to say this. After all, they are deep underground at this moment, where did the "cliff" come from.
But when Lin Yan looked at the bottomless abyss that was dozens of feet below the stone platform, he unconsciously thought that he and Old Man Zhang were indeed on a "cliff" at this moment.
There is an extremely narrow path extending from the stone platform. The width of this path is only slightly wider than the erect soles of an adult's feet. It is difficult to put two feet side by side on it.
Don't forget, there are abyss on both sides of the trail. If you accidentally fall in, you will definitely die. After all, they can't fly.
Old man Zhang looked back at Lin Yan, motioned for him to follow, and then headed towards the trail at the lead.
Lin Yan thought that there was no way out at this time anyway, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
The old man and the young man walked slowly and carefully on this extremely narrow path. After all, there was an abyss below that could not be seen to the bottom.
As their footsteps moved, gravel would slide down from time to time, making them look frightened.
The time on the trail seemed very long. After all, the two of them needed to focus all their attention on the road under their feet. They may have never walked so seriously in their lives.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yan finally noticed that Old Man Zhang in front of him had stopped.
Lin Yan was wondering why this old man suddenly stopped leaving. Could it be that he was old and had lost his strength?
Lin Yan, who was about to say something, suddenly noticed that the road under his feet had become wider. He turned around suddenly and found that the path on the abyss had gone behind him, and now he was standing on the opposite side. on the stage.
This walk was really scary.
After the two successfully walked through the abyss, they searched for a while on the stone platform, and then found a bronze fragment and a raised button.
After pressing down, a stone door slowly lifted up. The two looked at each other and walked out.
What you see is a large open space, and beyond that is a long staircase, winding and spiraling upwards, and then connected to a stone pavilion.
The winding stone steps are like a giant dragon, and where the pavilion is is the dragon's head. It's really majestic!
Lin Yan looked around and saw no one else. He and Old Man Zhang were the first to come out.
Since they were faster than others, they couldn't let go of this advantage easily, so the two of them started climbing in unison.
When the two of them were almost out of breath, they finally climbed up to the "Dragon Head" and came to the pavilion.
However, the two of them sadly discovered that there was a disk-shaped groove on the stone door of the pavilion. When they compared the bronze fragments they picked up, they found that it happened to correspond to one of them.
That means it's useless for them to come first. If they don't collect the remaining bronze fragments, they won't be able to enter the door of the pavilion.
There is no other way, we can only wait.
The two of them rested in place and waited for more than half an hour before they saw other people catching up one after another.
The first person to catch up was the young Confucian scholar. He had previously chosen Jingmen, and what he encountered there was the end of a Go game.
As soon as he entered, he was forced into the game. If he couldn't crack it, he would be trapped in the Jingmen.
At this time, his identity as a Confucian disciple comes in handy. Among the six Confucian arts, Go is also an indispensable learning subject, and this person's Go skills are also among the best in the "Sage Academy".
After all, the title of "Chess King" Li Chuqi was not for nothing. Although it took some time, he successfully passed the trap.
Following closely behind were the fat monk and his group. Although their clothes were now a little tattered and they looked a little embarrassed, they were not seriously injured.
The fat monk is a third-generation disciple of the Buddhist sect, and his dharma name is "Wu Shan".
But once you really become his enemy, you will find that if he can directly give you a fatal blow without torturing you, it is considered "good"!
After all, life in his hands would be worse than death.
What this group of people encountered was the "Falling Stone Formation". People from the Buddhist sect mainly cultivated their physical bodies and Buddhism, and their physical strength was much stronger than that of warriors of the same realm. Therefore, they were just a little embarrassed when passing through the "Falling Stone Formation".
It is worth mentioning that the earthbuck who had escaped from the Earth Gate had insisted on following the fat monk "Wu Shan" and his group, but he also successfully broke through Du Men's trap and came here.
Next, the hook-nosed old man from the Flying Eagle Sect and the sturdy man from the Ancient Sword Sect also broke through the Shock Gate and the Injury Gate one after another and came here. It just seemed that they were both seriously injured. It is estimated that the ones inside The mechanism is not simple!
After a while, Jin Huan appeared in front of everyone with the Canglang Guard, but his current condition looked a bit miserable!
The majesty of the general before was gone, and he looked disgraced. There were only less than twenty Canglang Guards left behind him, and most of them had injuries.
It seems that Jinhuan has hit a nail this time, and it's not just any ordinary nail!
Originally, he chose to open one of the eight doors, thinking there would be no problem. But who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he would encounter many powerful institutions one after another.
At first, when they were passing through a corridor lined with Buddha statues on both sides, suddenly many crossbow arrows were shot from the Buddha statues. Canglang Guards were caught off guard and killed more than a dozen people.
Next, when they encountered an uphill road, kerosene poured down from the sky, and then it was instantly ignited. More than a dozen Canglang Guards were burned to death.
At the same time, boulders rolled down the slope, crushing several more people to death. At this point, most of the Canglang Guard has been destroyed.
At this moment, Jin Huan had already retreated, but after entering the door, the stone door could not be opened. They could not even go back the way they came, so they had no choice but to move forward.
Afterwards, they encountered mechanisms such as the "Poison Gas Formation" and "Quicksand Formation" one after another. After paying a dozen more lives, they finally arrived here.
This journey they took was extremely difficult. If they had the choice, most of their team would probably not take the trip through this muddy water.
It's a pity that they have no choice, it's their fate!
And the situation of Meng Feiyu of Xuantian Sect is not much better than that of Jin Huan. Once he enters the dormitory, everything is really over!
Half of the white-robed disciples were dead, and the remaining disciples were also injured. Meng Feiyu's eyes were gloomy, and his previous demeanor was no longer the same.
After all, the losses were heavy this time. If he couldn't gain anything valuable in the future, he would inevitably be punished by the sect even with his status.
When he thought of this, his face turned even darker, like the bottom of a pot.
So far, most of the people have arrived here, but among the eight gates, only the Sheng Gate has not yet come out.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement at the Shengmen. It is estimated that the six Jianghu guests who entered were already dead inside.
Among the other seven gates, the gate chosen by Jin Huan and the gate Meng Feiyu went to were the most dangerous, but they also broke through many people.
And all those who entered the gate of life were wiped out, and no one came out alive!
What exactly did they encounter inside?
No one knows the answer to this answer!
From this point of view, the death gate chosen by Lin Yan and Old Man Zhang turned out to be the easiest.
Although the narrow path on the abyss is dangerous, it is nothing compared to the deadly traps that others have encountered and is not worth mentioning!
It can also be seen from this that the owner of this underground palace is really a wicked person.
All those who chose the door representing auspiciousness paid a heavy price, while those who chose the neutral door and the door representing misfortune encountered much less difficult mechanisms.
This difference is much more obvious in the comparison between the door of life and the door of death: everyone who entered the door of life died, but Lin Yan and Old Man Zhang, who chose the door of death, lived well and did not even suffer minor injuries. .
This is undoubtedly a kind of naked silent irony!
The survivors recalled what they had just experienced, and for the first time they truly saw the horror of this underground palace!
Everyone was speechless for a while, then a voice came and said: "Since no one comes out alive from the Shengmen, how can the door of the pavilion be opened?"
The speaker was an old man with a hooked nose from the Flying Eagle Sect, and they all knew that the bronze fragment obtained from the door was the key to the door.
Logically speaking, if there are eight doors, there should be eight bronze fragments. Now that no one has come out of the Shengmen alive, the fragments cannot be collected.
Old Man Zhang took a step forward, placed the bronze fragment in his hand into the groove on the stone door, and said, "How will you know if you don't try it?"
After hearing this, the others hesitated for a moment and put the bronze fragments in their hands into the groove one after another. After all, they had no way out, and the situation should not be worse than now.
As the last bronze fragment was embedded, everyone was surprised to find that the groove was filled up and it fit perfectly.
At this point, everyone understood that the owner of the underground palace had never thought about letting people who entered the door of life come out alive. In other words, encountering the mechanisms in the door of life would definitely lead to death.
So there are only seven bronze fragments in total!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shed a cold sweat. If you enter other gates, you still have a chance to come out alive, but if you enter this gate, you will probably die!
While everyone's thoughts were spinning, the door of the pavilion had slowly opened, and the scene inside was revealed to everyone...
