Seeing that the water was getting bigger and bigger, the three of them were trapped on a high altar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The three of them gasped for breath, and they were too frightened to speak. As far as their eyes could see, there was nothing in the hall to grab or climb, and the only thing they could do was pray that the flow would stop. Fortunately, after a short while, the bubbles no longer bubbled out of the hole, and the water seemed to slow down. After waiting for more than ten seconds, K1 looked at the surging water waves under the high platform and said with relief: "Thank goodness, the water level doesn't seem to be rising anymore." ”

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

K1 sat slumped on the ground, he took out the mobile phone that Wan Guohou had given him just now, only to find that the mobile phone had automatically turned off. He pressed the power button and tossed for a while before the screen could light up again. He lowered his hand and said dejectedly: "Master Hou, most of your mobile phone is useless and has entered the water." ”

K1's mobile phone is in the hand of the moon, although the flash is still on, but it has issued a warning of "low battery". Yue Shuluo opened her handbag, took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, "There is still seventy-five percent electricity." ”

"We were counting on the seventy-five percent to get us out. K1 smiled bitterly, he got up and took his phone from Yueshuluo's hand, and then checked his body, "Thank you T3, this set of clothes was given to me by him, and I didn't even think of preparing a set of waterproof outdoor clothes." ”

"You're not hurt, are you?" asked Wan Guohou.

"I'm fine, the water doesn't seem to be very toxic. K1 replied lightly. At this time, he noticed that Yue Shuluo only had a handbag and a mobile phone in his hand, "Manager Yue, where are your shoes?"

Yue Shuluo smiled, "I forgot about the guqin." ”

"Then you'll have to walk barefoot for a while. K1 said sympathetically.

Yue Shuluo replied disapprerovingly: "As long as you don't encounter poisonous water again." ”

K1 nodded: "The water at the plum blossom pile smells stinky, but it seems that the poison in it has been diluted? Or if it is left too long, the poison will not work?"

Wan Guohou smiled slightly: "Fortunately, the poison is ineffective, otherwise you will be in trouble." It stands to reason that the water in the waterway should have evaporated long ago like the pond under the small bridge, and the current water must have been brought by Hanako from the waterfall. I guessed he took the poison from the dungeon and threw it in, but he didn't expect that after so many years, the poison had lost its toxicity. He glanced at K1 playfully, "If the poison doesn't work, you'll have to take off your pants and shoes and go bare-butt in front of the Moon Manager." ”

K1 grimaced, "You have clothes on you, I can wear yours." As for you, it won't be a loss to let the monthly manager take a look. ”

Wan Guohou didn't pay attention to K1, he looked at the altar and thoughtfully, "This water altar should correspond to a dead end." He turned his head to look at K1 again and smiled, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, although you didn't play well today, I can't blame you, it's not your fault." ”

Hearing the sentence "I can't blame you", K1 was a little excited: "Master Hou!"

Wan Guohou waved his hand and motioned for K1 not to speak, "I'm very interested in this place now. This old man named Hanako really has the ability, not only to find the secret palace of the Qianqiu Sect, but also to use the mechanisms inside. ”

His words were full of admiration for the old Hanako, and K1 couldn't help but interrupt him when he heard it, "Master Hou, he almost killed us." He looked at Yue Shuluo's fingers that were still oozing blood, and said angrily: "I must catch this old thing, if I don't beat him to vomit blood, I won't call ......"

"Ahem. Wan Guohou coughed lightly and said with the same expression as usual: "The stronger the enemy, the more it will inspire you to fight." In a sense, we all have to thank him. ”

Yue Shu looked at Wan Guohou intently, and this sentence seemed to speak to her heart.

"Forget it, don't talk about it. K1 didn't feel any better after listening to Wan Guohou's words. He leaned against an altar in a daze, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, so he simply sat on the ground, "I want to drink water now, but I don't have water, I want to make a phone call, but I can't find a signal, I want to lose my temper, and I can't find a partner." ”

Wan Guohou laughed, "A little setback can make you angry like this?" he looked at K1's puffed face, "Okay, make an exception and allow you to smoke in front of me." ”

"Really?" K1's frustration was immediately swept away, and he bounced off the ground like a child. He happily took out a small tin box from his arms, then slowly opened it, and took out the only cigarette inside, "I originally wanted to quit, this one has been put away for a long time, and I will forget it if you don't say it." ”

Wan Guohou was funny in his heart, and he didn't poke K1. He walked to the edge of the altar and looked at the water that was still churning slowly: "This water is probably linked to the place where the old Hanako lives, I was thinking when I saw the waterfall just now, this must be an artificial waterfall, but I don't know how the old Hanako realized it." ”

Yue Shuluo has a different opinion: "The water may have been introduced by the old name Hanako, but most of the corresponding organs were made by people from the Chiaki Sect." No matter what the origin of this old name Hanako is, there is no reason to design these painstaking things here, and if no one finds out, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

"Makes sense. Wan Guohou nodded, "But why does he live here?" he stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

"Master Hou, I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not. Yue Shuluo pondered the words.

"You say. ”

"This old name Hanako has appeared on occasions related to you several times, which can only mean one thing, he is either coming for you or for someone who has a relationship with you. The words of the moon made Wan Guohou stunned.

"What do you mean?" K1 spat out a few smoke rings, as if he had forgotten his indignation.

"K1, didn't you say that, the place where he appeared was a shopping mall, a police station, and the scene of Ma Daosheng's death, these places are connected, except for Hou Ye, what else do they have in common?" asked Yue Shuluo.

K1 took a puff of his cigarette, "The common denominator is that they are all in the magic capital?"

Yue Shuluo smiled lightly, "Of course not." The relevant characters in the shopping mall include Nan Zeyu's family, Xie Madxin, and you; I can't be sure who there is outside the police station, but the relevant people in the police station at the time are Nan Zeyu, you, and Hou Ye; as for Ma Daosheng's death scene, the relevant characters include the dead Ma Daosheng and the absent Hou Ye. ”

K1's eyes widened like brass bells, "So, he's trying to trouble me?"

Wan Guohou smiled and shook his head, "What Chief Moon means is that the old name Hanako may have come for Nan Zeyu. ”

K1 took a few puffs of cigarette in a row, he exhaled the smoke and shook his head again, still puzzled, "Since he didn't come for the Hou Ye, then wouldn't we run away in vain?" ”

Wan Guohou frowned, "This is just speculation. What's more, if he has a grudge against Nan Zeyu, then I will be even more curious. ”

K1 and Yue Shuluo were both waiting for Wan Guohou to continue, but Wan Guohou reached out and took the phone from Yue Shuluo's hand. He shone under the platform for a moment, "Just like I thought, there are drainage holes here. Wait a little longer and the water should recede. ”

K1 was overjoyed, "Then let's see where the water goes, maybe that's the exit!"

Yue Shuluo bit her lip lightly, and stopped talking.

Wan Guohou glanced at her, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Master Hou, if this is an ancient tomb, theoretically it will not be inhabited, so why do you have to design a drainage system? Could it be that this drainage place is also a trap?" Yue Shuluo frowned slightly.

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "Who told you that there is no drainage system in the ancient tomb?" The ancient Chinese were very smart, they had long considered the situation of rain or rising groundwater, so the ancient tombs basically designed a drainage system. ”

He looked down at the platform for a moment, and then continued, "If this place is an ancient tomb, then the easiest way is to build a drainage ditch at the bottom of the tomb. At the same time, the drainage ditch inside the tomb is connected to the drainage ditch outside the tomb, echoing the inside and outside. As a result, when water accumulates in the tomb, it flows into the drainage ditch, and then flows through the small hole in the tomb barrier stone to the drainage ditch outside the tomb. ”

After speaking, he looked at the moon that was thinking about it, and added, "Although the drainage system here is probably modeled after an ancient tomb, I still don't think this is an ancient tomb. ”

He took a step back, reclined against an altar, and said nonchalantly, "The tomb has a drainage system, but it is not designed to be ventilated. You've been in for so long, do you feel tightness in your chest and shortness of breath?"

Both shook their heads.

"Because this is not a tomb, although it looks gloomy and mysterious, but in fact, it is just a mystery of the Qianqiu Sect. I think this is a forgotten Qianqiu Sect dungeon, and Hanako didn't know how to find it, and used its original mechanism to deal with those who wanted to find him. ”

Yue Shuluo looked at her hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't talk about K1, even I really want to beat this old Hanako." ”

"How can you beat a weak woman, let me help you. K1 grinned, "Now, I'm going to beat him twice, Master Hou, don't stop me." ”

Wan Guohou blinked, "Let's wait until you find him." Then, as if he was afraid that K1 was in a good mood, he added, "You don't have to think about finding a way through the gutter, the gutter here must be very narrow, otherwise the water would have been drained long ago." ”

Energized, K1 pressed the cigarette butt to the ground, then held up his dying cell phone and looked at the altar one by one.

And Wan Guohou turned off the flash of his mobile phone. Yue Shuluo asked in surprise, "Won't you try to check here again?"

Wan Guohou replied: "Save electricity first." ”

After K1 checked around, he returned to the two with an unhappy face, "I still haven't found any clues." He rubbed his face in annoyance, "Water is definitely not going to work." I look pretty much the same for the rest of the gold, wood, fire, and earth, except for the different colors. ”

K1 rubbed his face, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Does Qin Shi Huang have any stories related to gold, wood, fire, and earth?"

Yue Shuluo thought for a while, "Qin Shi Huang sent people to build the Great Wall, is it related to soil?"

"Forget it. K1 replied, "Anything else?"

"Ah Fang Palace, count earth and wood, and burn books and pit Confucianism, this is considered fire?" Yue Shuluo continued to guess. "I don't think there's any gold. ”

"Why not?" it was Wan Guohou who spoke, "Twelve Golden People, Chief Moon, have you forgotten?"

"Twelve Golden People?" K1 suddenly became interested, "This sounds like something the emperor does, it's very good, right?"

Wan Guohou said: "This gold is not the gold you think, to be exact, it is copper, so the twelve gold men are also called the twelve bronze men." He sneered: "After Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, his heart was not at peace, and he was always worried that someone would rebel." Later, a commoner claimed to have met twelve giants, and said that he had heard a ballad being sung, 'Qu goes to one, appears in gold, and one hundred evils are revealed, and one hundred evils are born'. Qin Shi Huang was very pleased to hear this, and thought that this was the will of heaven, so he ordered the collection of civilian weapons, concentrated in Xianyang, and cast twelve huge bronze figures.

"No one knows how big these twelve bronze men are, because after Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, these twelve bronze men were also wiped out. According to the records of some historical books, it is probably 'five zhang high and weighs a thousand stones.' Converted into today's units of measurement, it is about a dozen meters high and dozens of tons in weight. ”

K1 was fascinated by what he heard, "It's really good, but it's a pity that it was burned." He thought for a moment, "Does these twelve golden men have any special significance to Qin Shi Huang?"

Wan Guohou touched his beard, "The Chinese in ancient times divided the earth into twelve branches, also called the twelve earth branches. There is a view that the earth is the country and represents the world. Perhaps the Qianqiu Sect believes that Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, which shows that twelve is a very auspicious number for him, and the twelve golden people have thus become Qin Shi Huang's achievements and masterpieces in history. ”

"So, is the Golden Altar the way we're looking for?" K1 asked impatiently.

"I don't know. "This is just a guess." ”

"Then let's try, it's better than waiting here. K1 said anxiously, "How do we activate the Golden Altar? We don't have gold, we don't have bronze men or anything. ”

Wan Guohou turned on the flash of his mobile phone and walked silently to the white altar, he observed the stone basin for a while, "There is a gap in it, it doesn't look like it cracked later." ”

"Surely you have to put something in there, like gold bars?" K1 guessed.

Wan Guohou shook his head, "The width of this gap is only a few millimeters, and the depth is about ten centimeters, so it is impossible to stuff gold bars." He thought for a moment, "It doesn't have to be gold, the gold in the 'Five Elements' can theoretically refer to all metals." ”

"And what metal do we have on us?" K1 immediately remembered, "Cell phone, gun?" He looked at Tsuki, "Do you have metal in your bag?"

Yue Shuluo replied: "Bangs clip, signature pen." ”

K1 said disappointedly, "No." I can't put my phone, gun, and pen in it, how long are my bangs?"

"About five centimeters. ”

"It's too short. K1 sighed in disappointment.

Wan Guohou suddenly asked, "After you threw the dart just now, isn't there one left?"

K1 showed a speechless expression: "Patronizing and running for your life, how can you think of collecting darts?" he muttered, his hand still subconsciously touching his pocket. At this touch, he froze.

K1 shuddered and took out the dart, overjoyed: "Master Hou, did you put it in my pocket?"

Wan Guohou shrugged: "I'm not so idle. ”
