Chapter 486: Three Hundred Pounds
Xiong Tiannan's face was full of gloom, but he had no choice but to stop. The Xiong family was driven out of Okura City, which is no longer what it used to be, and now it has just taken refuge in the "Black Dragon Palace", this Liang Wude is the top boss, and even his father Xiong Bailing can only obey his words, and Xiong Tiannan certainly dare not disobey.
Liang Wude said: "Miss Sima, it's not too early, so take us to the secret cave to get the treasure! If you can't walk, I can call Gongzi Xiong to help you." ”
Sima Rulan said angrily: "If you let him touch me, don't let me open the secret cave!"
Liang Wude smiled "hehe" and said: "Since Miss Sima said no, then don't use it, Liang has always been a reasonable person, and he has never been difficult to force others." ”
Sima Rulan's acupoint was sealed, her internal strength could not be gathered, and her martial arts could not be used, but she could barely walk.
Hua Bushi followed three feet behind Sima Rulan, and the two of them walked in the front, while Liang Wude, the Qian Twin Demons, Xiong Bailing's father and son, and more than twenty pirates from the "Black Dragon Palace" all followed.
Sima Rulan, who had lost her light skills, couldn't walk fast, but the three moats had passed, and she was already not far from the entrance of the secret cave, and the road was much straighter and easier to walk than before.
After the tea work, everyone came to an open space, and Sima Rulan stopped.
If you think of Whale Swallowing Island as a giant whale, then this is the center of the whale's head, where the whale shoots water into the air.
Liang Wude looked around, but saw that this open space was about more than ten zhang square, and under his feet was a whole black boulder, which was very rough, but it did not seem to have the appearance of a secret entrance.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Sima, is the entrance to the Treasure Cave here?"
Sima Rulan didn't answer, but looked around, walked a few steps, came to a stone that protruded half a foot high, and said, "Press this stone down." ”
Liang Wude made a look, and a pirate minion beside him stepped forward, stretched out two hands to hold down the stone, and pressed it hard, but he couldn't press it at all.
Liang Wude's face sank, and he said, "Miss Sima is playing with us?"
Sima Rulan said: "To press down this stone, you must have three hundred catties of strength, what is the use of you asking a person with weak martial arts to press!"
Although that pirate minion was born very strong, he had never practiced superior martial arts, so it was impossible for him to have three hundred catties of strength. Liang Wude frowned, and said to Xiong Bailing: "Hall Master Xiong, you go and give it a try!"
Xiong Bailing should claim that it is, stepped forward, and stretched out his giant palm to press the stone. But I only heard a "click", and the stone was really pressed down half a foot.
He stretched out his hand to press the stone, it looked easy, if he hadn't seen the previous pirate minions completely unable to press the stone, and heard what Sima Rulan said, it would have been hard to believe that Xiong Bailing's seemingly casual pressure could have three hundred catties of Liliang.
The former deputy hall master of the "Wanjin Hall" is indeed extraordinary, and Liang Wude on the side saw it in his eyes, but a trace of fierceness flashed faintly between his eyebrows.
Although the stone had been pressed down, there was still no movement in all directions, and Liang Wude couldn't help asking, "Miss Sima, where is the entrance to the secret cave?"
Sima Rulan said: "If you want to see the entrance, you have to press down five stones, why are you in a hurry?"
She looked at the direction, walked a dozen more steps, pointed to another stone beside her, and said, "Push it down too." ”
Xiong Bailing came closer, reached out and pressed the stone half a foot.
Sima Rulan pointed out five stones one by one in the clearing, and asked Xiong Bailing to press them down one by one. These five stones are arranged in a pentagonal orientation, but their shapes are different, and they are not conspicuous at all on the originally uneven rock surface.
And Sima Rulan pointed out that these five stones were pressed down by Xiong Bailing, and they were not in the order of the five corners, obviously the order of pressing the stones was also particular, if they were wrongly pressed, it was unknown what the consequences would be.
The fifth stone was pressed down, and there was a sound of "rolling" under everyone's feet, and I saw that the five stones that had been pressed down rose at the same time, and the boulder in the center of the clearing suddenly appeared a crack and slowly slid to both sides.
A round hole about three feet long has appeared in front of everyone.
Before the two boulders separated, they were very closely connected to each other, and others could not see the gap at all, they would only think that it was a whole large stone, which shows that the entrance to this secret cave is quite exquisitely arranged, and Tuoba Qingtian is a pirate king a hundred years ago, and it is extremely rare for such a mechanism to be able to operate normally after a hundred years.
Liang Wude frowned and said: "This big cave, is it really the Pirate King Tuoba Qingtian Treasure Secret Cave back then, after hundreds of years, these stones have not been corrupted at all under the erosion of the sea breeze?"
Sima Rulan said: "If the stone is so perishable, how can Tuoba Qingtian choose to hide the treasure on this island?
Liang Wude approached, first reached out and touched the stone, and suddenly pulled out the short dagger pinned to his belt and stabbed it on the stone. I only heard a crisp sound of "clang", sparks splashed everywhere, and a two-third mark was pierced on the stone, but Liang Wude's face showed surprise.
His weapon was a blade of iron like clay, and an ordinary rock would have reached the handle if he stabbed it with a short dagger, but the piercing left only two or three points of shallow marks on the stone, indicating that the stone was at least ten times harder than ordinary rock.
And this blue-black stone island is everywhere, and it can be said that the entire whale swallowing island is made of this kind of stone. Previously, Liang Wude only thought it was ordinary granite, and did not pay much attention to it, but only then did he know that this stone was hard and peculiar, no wonder after a hundred years, there was no sign of decay at all.
When they came to the cave, they saw that it was not deep, and that it was only three feet below a stone slab, which was also blue and black, and was obviously made of the solid stone of the island, and on the surface of the stone was carved a large snake.
I saw that the big snake was bent over, its head was as big as a bucket, its eyes were closed, but its mouth was open and its fangs were exposed, and it looked very vicious. This stone snake is carved lifelike, extremely detailed, even the scales on its body are carved, and unlike ordinary pythons, it also has two wings on its back, which spread left and right like eagle wings.
If Liang Wude was still skeptical about whether this was the treasure cave of the ancient pirate king, he was already convinced at this time.
Legend has it that the pirate king Tuoba Qingtian Ziyi descended to the earth for the heavenly snake, and the flag on his pirate ship is a black flying snake that soars through the clouds, and the winged serpent carved on the stone is in line with the legendary logo, and under this stone slab, it is obviously the gateway to the treasure cave.
Liang Wude said immediately: "Miss Sima, quickly open the portal of the secret cave, let's go in!"
When Sima Rulan came to the stone slab, she took out two pieces of Panlong Jue from her arms, joined them together, and immediately turned into a complete jade ball. She carefully put the jade ball into the mouth of the stone snake, but only heard a "quack", the jade ball had been swallowed by the stone snake, and the stone slab trembled, and the big snake also moved, the snake's eyes suddenly opened, and it flashed like a living thing, as if it was about to jump up from the stone slab!
All the pirate minions were shocked and retreated one after another, and a few people with fast hands had already drawn their blades and protected them in front of them, but they heard Liang Wude shouting loudly: "A dead stone carving, what's so terrible! It's just two gems embedded in its eyes!"
Hearing Liang Wude's words, everyone stopped their movements, carefully examined the stone snake, and saw that it really didn't really fly.
Just now, Sima Rulan put the coiled dragon jue into the mouth of the stone snake, and touched the mechanism in it, causing the stone chips above the snake's eyes to turn up, revealing two sapphires the size of dragon's eyes embedded in it, thus emitting a faint blue light.
The winged stone snake was carved so lifelike that it was the sudden opening of its eyes that made it seem as if the snake had come to life.
When the pirates were frightened for a while, Sima Rulan pressed the two exposed snake eyes with both hands, and pressed them slightly, and the stone slab and the stone snake carved on it slowly slid away, revealing the dark cave below. And the jade ball synthesized by the two coiled dragons also spit out from the snake's mouth and fell.
Sima Rulan was about to catch the jade ball, and suddenly a palm stretched out next to her, and she took the jade ball in her hand first, it was Liang Wude.
The old five traitors in the "Nine Dragons" said with a smile: "These two pieces of jade are the keys to open the stone door, and they will be kept by the old man for the time being, and when they get the things in the cave, Liang will return them to Miss Sima!"
Now Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi have no power to protect themselves at this time, life and death are in the hands of others, Liang Wude took Pan Longjue, and Sima Rulan has no choice.
The cave under the stone slab was dark and could not see the bottom, and a stone step went straight to Xiangxia, but I didn't know how deep it was.
Liang Wude poked his neck and looked into the cave a few times before he ordered: "Liu Da, Chi Haigou, Storm Tooth Chen, Hu Song, the four of you go and get torches and prepare to enter the cave!"
Several pirate minions answered the order, and their group had already brought a lot of pine torches on this trip, and soon took more than a dozen of them, and set fire to four of them.
Liang Wude said again: "Hall Master Xiong, you and Young Master Ling Zhuhua also enter the cave together, Qian Eight Qian Jiu, you lead the other brothers to set up an ambush around this clearing to prevent outsiders from attacking!"
The location of Whale Swallowing Island is very secret, not only is it difficult for outsiders to find, even if it is the Fu Ao on the "Golden Swallow" on the sea outside the island and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, it is impossible to pass through the three moats to come here. However, Liang Wude acted very cautiously, and even in such a situation, he was still prepared just in case.
