Chapter Eighty-Four: Guarding the Heart

K1 walked in the front, "Master Hou, why do I feel like I want to go up to see the emperor now?"

Yue Shuluo snorted, "You've watched too many costume dramas, haven't you?" As she spoke, she glanced at Wan Guohou again, "This place should be deliberately designed as a city defense." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wan Guohou nodded and walked onto the stone arch bridge, he walked very cautiously, obviously not at ease with the bridge deck. He was visibly relieved when all three of them walked safely off the stone arch bridge.

"Master Hou, this thing is really exaggerated. K1 stared at the giant bird hanging from the ceiling, "In the old days, if you used it to fight, you could kill several people in one hand." ”

"Good boy, there's tweed carved on it. K1 grinned and touched the scalloped blade of the giant axe. A deafening clangling sound sounded, and the five giant axes slowly swung back and forth like a huge pendulum.

K1 shrank in fright, he looked at these giant Yue in a daze for a while, and then hung his head and said, "Master Hou, I'm sorry!"

Wan Guohou looked at Juyue with a wary expression, then looked at the ceiling, and after a few seconds, his expression returned to calm, "It's okay, even if you don't touch it, it will move for a while." He looked at K1's frustrated face, "There is a mechanism at the junction between these giant axes and the ceiling, and I guess it will trigger as soon as we cross the arch bridge." ”

Yue Shuluo looked at Juyue and had a headache: "Then we can't get by?" Can you make these things stop?"

She stared at the gaps that the giant struck as it swiped. Through the gap, she could faintly see the other side neatly lined up with stone horses and sergeants in full gear, and their majestic appearance was quite like a royal honor guard.

Wan Guohou did not answer, he held up his mobile phone, carefully examined it along the arched bridge, and then walked back to the opposite side of the bridge to check the ivory ball, the phoenix and the small stone man.

But he got nothing.

K1 and Yueshuluo have no lighting equipment, so they have to wait at Juyue's end. The swing of the giant is slow, but it is extremely heavy, and with each stroke it makes a "whirring" sound in the air, which makes people shudder. K1 felt horrified when he thought of the joke he had just made, "One can kill several people in one hand".

After Wan Guohou finished the inspection, he said disappointedly: "I can't find any other clues." ”

K1 was just about to speak, Yueshuluo suddenly "shh

K1 listened attentively, and only heard a small and dense "click" sound, as if someone was eating soda crackers. He subconsciously said, "Mouse?"

Then his face changed, and he shouted, "This is not a mouse!

Wan Guohou followed the sound and shone his mobile phone at the arch bridge, and sure enough, he saw obvious cracks on the arch bridge, and the soldiers also began to tremble, as if they were about to disintegrate.

"Run!" K1 didn't have time to say more, he grabbed the moon and rushed onto the stone bridge as fast as he could. Wan Guohou rushed to the head of the bridge with an arrow step, he was ready, if the stone bridge collapsed, then grab the person closest to him.

The stone bridge is less than six meters long, but K1 is tired and sweaty. When he and Tsuki-swoo finally stepped onto the ground on the other side of the stone bridge, the entire bridge had completely collapsed.

After the bridge collapsed, the rubble was crushed against the metal mesh. I saw the gravel shaking violently, and in a short time it was ground into slag. Then, the five giant axes slowly stopped swinging, like five twisted smiley faces, mercilessly mocking their incompetence.

K1 took a breath, "Master Hou, it seems that this place is deliberately not letting us pass." He glared at Ju Yue hatefully, "I don't know what the hell is behind it, hide it and don't let us see it." ”

"Are you two hurt?" Wan Guohou asked. Seeing that both of them shook their heads, he relieved himself, "Let's go." ”

K1 didn't even catch his breath, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the hall and open the altar. "The Marquis of All Nations is concise and to the point.

"Master Hou, I'm a little blindsided now, where should I go, how can I find the dead old man? K1 grumbled, "Mr. Moon's fingers are broken, and I almost twisted my foot just now." He looked around, "This place is weird, I want to get out quickly." ”

"No problem, next time I'll take T3, I won't take you. Wan Guohou nodded.

"Why don't you take T3 with me?What is T3 better than me?" K1 immediately blew his beard and glared, "I run faster than him, punch better than him, and have more strength than him, why take him without me?" The more he thought about it, the more unbalanced he became, "You've only known him for a few months? How long have we known each other!"

Wan Guohou smiled slyly, "However, he won't complain when he encounters difficulties." ”

K1 was speechless for a while.

Yue Shuluo hurriedly relieved the siege: "The ruler is short, and the inch is long." K1 is working hard today, and he is also a little speechless by this dungeon. ”

"Of course I do. Wan Guohou said lightly, "Don't make children angry, make people laugh." ”

K1 rubbed his face wildly, "Who's having a temper?" he straightened up, "I'm kidding." "If this damn old man were to appear in front of me, I would beat him so much that I wouldn't even recognize him." ”

"Let's go, then. Yue Shuluo saw that Wan Guohou had already gone out, and hurriedly said to K1.

The three of them returned to the stone chamber where the weapons of the Six Nations were placed, and walked to the entrance to the hole where the floor tiles had collapsed.

"It's about a distance of more than a meter from here to the stone threshold, it's not far, it's no problem for me and K1 to cross over, Manager Yue, can you jump over?" Wan Guohou looked at the cheongsam falling by the moon, "I can't hold you and jump over here." ”

Yue Shuluo hesitated for a moment, then lifted the hem of the cheongsam, and with a "bang", she tore the slit of the cheongsam to the root of her thigh. She calmly looked at the two stunned men, "Now, I can skip over." ”

"Girl!" K1 gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, we're definitely not going to peek." ”

Seeing this, Wan Guohou didn't say more, he took his mobile phone, jumped over first, and then turned to K1 and Yue Shuluo Lighting.

When the three of them walked to the high platform, Wan Guohou turned off the flash of his mobile phone. Suddenly, it was pitch black in the dungeon.

"The phone alarmed, and it was only 20 percent charged, so it couldn't last long. "And there are three altars, fire, wood, and earth." I don't know if we'll be able to point back to the last one to find the old Hanako. Also, just now I realized one thing, I made a low-level mistake. Wan Guohou seemed to smile bitterly, "When I saw the phoenix, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't understand what was wrong at that time." Now, I figured it out. The Golden Altar, which is always called Hanako, has not been activated at all, or, after he entered the stone chamber of the weapons of the Six Kingdoms, he retreated. The Phoenix Trap is obviously a one-off, proving that Hanako has not solved the mystery of the ivory ball. But we stupidly spent a lot of time there, wasting the battery of our mobile phones in vain. ”

In the dark, Yueshuluo sighed softly, "It's all my fault." ”

"Blame you?" K1 was a little confused.

"If I had listened to Master Hou's words and didn't run down willfully, by now, I should have already contacted Z2 and T3, and with support, it would be okay to explore this dungeon for as long as possible. Yue Shuluo's tone was full of loss, "Sure enough, women are easy to do bad things." ”

Her words made Wan Guohou and K1 laugh.

Wan Guohou smiled and said, "What do you say as if you are not a woman." ”

"It's because I'm a woman that I'm so angry and feel like I'm really bad. Yue Shuluo muttered, "Hongyan is a disaster, why didn't you say that men are troubles?"

"It's a derogatory term, don't use it on yourself. Wan Guohou Zhengse said, "What's more, it is generally used to describe women such as Yuxi, Daji, Baoxi, and Liji." ”

"Master Hou, why don't I know any of these women you are talking about?" K1 asked.

Yue Shuluo also smiled: "These women are all famous 'bad women' in ancient times, beautiful and bad. You're a BBC, so it's not surprising that you don't know. ”

K1 fumbled, found an altar, leaned against it, and sat down, "Tell me, what's the bad law?"

"Let's let Master Hou say it, my history is just a half-ass, I'm afraid I'm wrong. Yue Shuluo replied.

"Master Hou?" K1 heard Wan Guohou be silent, and hurriedly called.

"These four women are also known as the 'Four Great Enchantresses'. "They serve different kings." In short, these four women are particularly charming and beautiful, so beautiful that men abandon the government and have no intention of governing the country. Except for Jin Xiangong, who was served by Li Ji, the other three men finally gave away their good fortunes. ”

K1 listened, but said, "In this way, you can't blame these four women." It's not their fault that they're beautiful, they can only say that their husbands are too unlucky. He thought for a moment, and then said, "If I marry a particularly beautiful woman and I am dizzy, then I may not want to be in the country." ”

"So, it's good that you're not the emperor. Wan Guohou jokingly said, "As an emperor, you must be responsible for the people of the world, and you can't just rely on your own temperament." ”

"It's quite boring to be an emperor. K1 said disapprerovingly, "Ordinary people can at least live happily on their own." became an emperor, and he had to take care of this and that, and finally died, because the country was not well managed, and he would be scolded for many years. ”

Yue Shuluo pursed her lips and smiled, "You really want to open it." If there is a chance, how many people will be emperors, even if they die and are infamous. ”

"Is it? So these Qianqiu people worship Qin Shi Huang, because he was the first emperor of China?" K1 asked.

"Of course it's not that simple. "They worship Qin Shi Huang because they firmly believe that Qin Shi Huang came back from the dead and has eternal life." ”

"How is it possible to come back to life?" K1 was puzzled, "Didn't the emperors of ancient China fight very big battles when they died? To build a super large tomb, you also need to hold a lot of funerary goods. If you come back to life, you can't scare those ministers to death?"

K1's words were nondescript, and Wan Guohou couldn't help laughing: "The emperor is dead, and he is called dead." That super big tomb is the imperial tomb. As for the funeral goods, the most famous funeral goods of Qin Shi Huang are the terracotta warriors. Of course, there are also scholars who believe that terracotta warriors and horses are not burial goods, which is a long story, so I will not repeat it.

"The worship of Qin Shi Huang was fanatical in the Qianqiu Sect, because they worshipped both death and life. Death refers to life from death, and life is, of course, immortality. In this world, there are many dead emperors, but only Qin Shi Huang can be 'reborn', of course, this is just their wishful thinking. ”

"It's also to blame the poor one, worshipping a dead emperor who is useless. K1 said sympathetically. He sat bored, so he raised his arms, intending to do a few stretches. In the dark, he couldn't see his surroundings, and this stretch of hand happened to hit Wan Guohou's mobile phone. Wan Guohou instinctively grabbed down, but pounced.

The phone fell on the high platform and hit the power button on the side, and the screen suddenly lit up.

K1 hurriedly grabbed his phone, pressed the power button, and turned off the screen.

"Open, K1, there's something here!" said Tsukishuluo excitedly.

K1 turns on the flash of the phone, and the moon gargle falls to the place where the phone was dropped. Wan Guohou looked fixedly, and at the bottom of the red altar, there was an irregular slightly recessed place. There are four circular bumps in this area half the size of a palm, smaller than a fingernail, and you can't notice them if you don't pay attention.

But this is not the most surprising thing for Wan Guohou.

Of the four circular bumps, a crimson bulge stands out. Wan Guohou stared at the red bulge and thought for a while, and said, "Give me the phone." He took the phone from K1's hand and shone it at the red bump for a few seconds.

He then turned off the flash and locked the phone screen.

In the darkness, the crimson bulge emitted a faint light, faint but firm, like a star guiding the way.

Wan Guohou gasped, "Glowing and guarding?" he smiled as he lifted his forehead, "This is actually Mars." ”

K1 couldn't wait to ask: "Master Hou, don't sell it, tell us quickly, what does it mean here? Is it useful, and where are you going?"

His series of questions made Yue Shuluo laugh, "K1, don't worry, let Hou Ye speak slowly." ”

"The ancient Chinese called Mars 'glowing' because it glowed like fire. In the eyes of the ancients, it was very inauspicious and often meant disaster, war, and death. The 'heart' is the 'heart' of the 28 nakshatras, which has three stars and represents the emperor and other important members of the royal family. When Mars orbits near the 'Antares' and stays for a period of time, it is what the ancients called 'Luminous Confusion'. This celestial phenomenon is considered quite ominous in Chinese astrology, and often symbolizes the death of the emperor and the chaos in the world. ”

Wan Guohou touched his beard, "If I remember correctly, the Qin Dynasty's 'Luminous Confusion and Guarding the Heart' happened a year before Qin Shi Huang's death. ”
