Everyone in the hall calmed down, lit the lights again, and looked for the source again.
Feng Yanlang whispered to Fang Lingyan: "From what I can see, the black general just now should not be in this hall. What appears here seems to be just an illusion created by him in some way."
"You mean... there is a secret passage in this palace." Fang Lingyan seemed to understand a little bit.
At this moment, Huicheng pulled up the big flag on the "swastika"-shaped platform. There was a sudden loud noise below, and the floor sank. After a while, a bronze box slowly rose up.
Huicheng was about to stretch out his hand, but saw Xu Hao rushing over. When he reached out to open the box, he suddenly retracted it as if he had been stung by a wasp, and then smelled a burning smell. There were wisps of green smoke rising from the box where he had just touched it, indicating that he had been burned.
Seeing this, everyone just thought that this box must be the key, otherwise there would be no such protection, and they didn't care whether the box was hot or not. They had to defeat the opponent first, and sometimes there were ways to cool it down.
Although Huizhong's side has the numerical advantage, the opponent has two top experts, Xu Hao and Ming Xiang. Moreover, Huizhong and others had been injured in Zhang Tiezhuang last time, so they were still at an obvious disadvantage. Fortunately, neither side's skills have fully recovered, and their attack power has been weakened. After the fight, the injuries are not that serious, so they can continue to fight, hoping that Ji Bu and the others can catch up and help.
It's a pity that Ji Bu and the others can't come. There is still a top expert above.
At this time, Zhang Yuqing was guarding the entrance to the Xu Shouhui statue above, preventing anyone from entering. Moreover, the people he blocked were not only Ji Bu and the others, but also Lin San, Tang Sai'er and his group, as well as Wen Dezong and Zhou Huanyang's group. Everyone who was supposed to come was here.
First, there was a one-on-one challenge. Rao, a master like Ji Bu, was defeated by Zhang Yuqing before he could finish three moves.
Then there was a group fight, and the White Lotus Sect's group was knocked down by Zhang Yuqing's ultimate move group.
Then came the wheel battle, with the three forces taking turns to get beaten up.
In the end, everyone goes together, preparing to deal with this obstacle first.
It's a pity that all the fighting seems to be just scratching Zhang Yuqing's itch. He occupies a dangerous and strategic position, and his martial arts skills are at their peak and superb.
Seeing that it was impossible to go down, everyone was sweating profusely. Fortunately, Zhang Yuqing did not kill him painfully, otherwise he would have suffered many casualties.
After such a stalemate for a long time, everyone was exhausted.
In the tomb chamber, although Xu Hao and Ming Xiang's group, whose skills had returned to normal, were able to control the situation, they still felt hot to the touch after trying the copper box several times, as if the box had not cooled down.
Xu Hao activated his internal energy and hit the copper box. He only heard the sound of strong collision between gas and metal, but the copper box did not move slightly.
Everyone was surprised and slowly stopped fighting to think about how to open the copper box.
"Maybe Zhang Tianshi has a way." Ming Xiang thought about it again and said to Xu Hao. At present, they have an absolute advantage. Even if they let the people above them come down, they are still not a threat to them. Moreover, if Zhang Yuqing comes down and opens the copper box and gets the key to Tianwan's treasure, with the combined efforts of him and Zhang Yuqing, they will definitely If he can subdue Xu Hao, then he will be the final winner.
Xu Hao thought for a moment and felt that this was the only way to go. The previous disturbances, coupled with the huge energy released by everyone just now, have seriously damaged the structure of the mausoleum. There were sounds and falling dust from time to time. It seemed that the place was about to collapse. , the copper box must be cracked as soon as possible.
After Zhang Yuqing came down, Ji Bu and others followed him into the bottom of the tomb.
Looking from below, I saw them falling from different positions on the top. It seemed that there were many doors at the top of the hall.
Zhang Yuqing understood the situation and put his hand close to the copper box, but he also felt a scorching heat that was unbearable at all. He walked around the copper box, looked at it, and used his own skills to cool down the copper box, but it still didn't work. He didn't have any good ideas at the moment.
"This man has passed away, and the past is gone. It is better to leave as soon as possible." Suddenly, in the darkness, the unique voice of the black general was remembered again. It sounded like an old farmer and an old general.
Everyone searched the surrounding walls but didn't see anything.
"No need to look for it. You can't see me. Since you all say you are related to the late emperor, I will show you the way out. Don't disturb the late emperor's holy spirit here anymore."
Everyone heard the voice echoing throughout the hall, as if they were in the middle of the hall. They looked around, but saw nothing.
Only Ming Siyu suddenly smelled a unique breath. She shrank her nose and followed the breath forward, getting closer and closer to the copper box.
"Hmph... Stop pretending here. Don't we know the way out?" Li Dakui shouted loudly, rushed up, and tried to rush out from where he just fell, but found that the stone slab on it didn't move at all. It wasn't that I could open it on my own, but it was blocked by a force and fell straight down.
Xu Hao glared at him and suddenly saw Ming Siyu slowly approaching the copper box, but he didn't know what she was doing. Could it be that she wanted to give it a try? He was about to remind her that the box was very hot, but Ming Siquan was already reminding her, "Sister, what are you doing? It's hot."
However, Ming Siyu had already put her nose close to the copper box. Judging from her expression, it seemed that the box was not hot at all.
Ming Siyu turned around and looked at everyone, wondering: "Is it hot?" His hand was already on it.
The few people who were worried about her felt a little bit in their hearts, but they didn't hear any sizzling sound or smell the burning smell, but the copper box seemed to shake.
Xu Hao glanced at Li Dakui. Li Dakui understood, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand on the copper box.
But with a squeaking sound, Ming Siyu suddenly retracted his hand and said, "It seems to be a little hot."
Li Dakui didn't dare to try again and looked at Xu Hao. Xu Hao didn't make any sign.
Ming Siyu walked back, found Xiao Yuanfu, and whispered: "Uncle Xiao, do you smell something?"
Xiao Yuanfu shrank his nose hard, hesitated, and whispered: "It seems to have such a smell, but I can't be sure."
"It's wine, Shaodaozi wine." Ming Siyu whispered.
Xiao Yuanfu sniffed again and said with a smile: "Lulu has a good nose. It is indeed the smell of old burning knives. Could it be... that the box comes from it?"
Ming Siyu nodded.
Ming Xiang came over, looked at Ming Siyu and said, "Little girl, you said that box is not hot?"
Ming Siyu turned away but ignored him.
Ming Xiang knew Ming Siyu's name at that time, so he was not angry and said: "You are Miss Ming Siyu Ming? Then do you know Mingyu?"
"I don't know." Ming Siyu answered simply. He really didn't recognize Ming Yuzhi.
But this name made Xiao Yuanfu remember it. His father once said that the Ming family in Zhongyuan, that is, Ming Siyu’s grandfather, was not named Ming, but seemed to be named Jin. His ancestors did make wine and cook wine. A chef by profession, he rescued the injured Xu Shouhui's attendant Ming Yuzhi by chance. Later, he was called into the palace by Ming Yuzhi, and was recommended to be in charge of food in Xu Shouhui's palace, but Ming Yuzhi always treated him as a benefactor.
Xiao Yuanfu's father was an old man who joined the army with Xu Shouhui in Saint Hall. After Xu Shouhui was killed, he returned to his hometown to teach. It took many years before he accidentally met Ming Siyu's grandfather in the market. He once said He came with General Ming. From this point of view, this General Ming is very likely to be Ming Yuzhi, and Ming Yuzhi seems to have a close relationship with the Tianwan Treasure, but where has he been after so many years? Why did you give your last name to your benefactor?
