Chapter 39: Behind the Bronze Door

Dong Xiaowei was silent, but I opened my mouth and sneered: "Dong Xiaowei, with the same resources, you are not my opponent. What if you can get the upper hand? I can still win you with a third of your time and a third of my brain. ”

I'm not completely unfamiliar with Dong Xiaowei, people's identities can be changed, but there are always things that can't be changed.

Dong Xiaowei really said angrily: "Wang Huan, don't be complacent too early, the initiative is still in my hands now." Open the bronze door at once and come out of it, otherwise, I'll ......"

As soon as Dong Xiaowei was halfway through his words, Ye Xun beside me spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow". When I hurriedly turned around and looked at him, Ye Xun had already taken out the wine jug and poured two sips into his mouth: "I'm fine, you can continue!"

I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Dong Xiaowei, if you want to win me, just come in and find me yourself! Aren't there a lot of your men? Throwing a few into the snake's nest is not a big deal." I have to warn you, if you want to chase me, you'd better be faster, slow down, I can get out somewhere else. ”

I stretched out my hand and pulled Ye Xun, and ran quickly into the space behind the bronze door.

Ye Xun lowered his voice and said, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, run out first. After a while, Dong Xiaowei will sacrifice people, and we won't go out. "I gasped after running a distance.

I originally thought that after the 60,000-square-meter Lonely Mountain was hollowed out by the ancestors, the internal space would be extremely vast, but what I didn't expect was that I only ran a short distance before I saw the central altar of the Lonely Mountain Cave. That is to say, the main body of the lonely mountain cave is at most about 400 square meters.

That's not right!

According to my previous inference, if the lonely mountain is the top of the building wood, at least there should not be such a small space.

What I'm thinking about now is another question: Dong Xiaowei has more than a dozen people, those people are not a rabble under Chen Mingyu, once Dong Xiaowei disperses the people, where else can Ye Xun and I hide?

I took a few steps up to the altar, and when I looked around through the faint light of the fox bells, I noticed that in each of the eight directions centered on the altar, there was a groove that was erected and carved out like a stone door, and in each of the four grooves stood a samurai in armor and holding a long ge, while the other four were empty.

"Stand inside. "The only place I can think of hiding right now is behind the four samurai.

Not long after Ye Xun and I hid behind a samurai, we heard the sound of the door opening in the distance, and soon heard Dong Xiaowei say, "Light the fire...... Beware of Ye Xun's sneak attack......"

After Dong Xiaowei's series of orders were issued, a fire soon ignited in the cave, and the entire cave was illuminated as bright as day, and my heart was suddenly lifted.

The Lonely Mountain Cave is the place of worship of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and it will definitely be equipped with a lighting fire trough. If the cave had been in the dark, I might have had a chance to deal with them, but now, with a little attention from them, I have nothing to hide.

I was holding the hilt of the knife tightly, but suddenly I heard someone shouting: "There is a secret passage here, Wang Huan and they may have escaped from there." ”

Someone hurriedly said, "Miss, should we chase down?"

"Not yet. Dong Xiaowei denied, "Let Wang Huan and them go down first to explore the road." Wang Huan hasn't been in for a long time, so he shouldn't have carefully observed the sacrificial hall, maybe there is something valuable left here, let's look for it carefully. ”

Dong Xiaowei's subordinates gradually unfolded, and I was secretly anxious again. It would be fine if they went down the secret passage, but now they are all in the hall, and I will be exposed sooner or later.

I could only hold my breath and hide behind the samurai, not even daring to show my head to see the scene outside, for fear of exposing myself.

After just over ten seconds, I was suddenly shocked in my heart - why didn't Dong Xiaowei's people go to the samurai's side?

According to common sense, these warriors are the most obvious thing in the sacrificial hall besides the altar, Dong Xiaowei's people should look at the warriors at first sight, even if they don't want to touch these warriors, they should at least determine whether there is any danger on the warriors. Why didn't they come here alone?

When I tilted my head sideways and looked out, I couldn't help but be shocked again - I didn't know when I was sinking into the ground, and the floor level of the sacrificial hall had reached the same height as the tip of the samurai choge.

However, the space I was in wasn't completely closed to the ground, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see the fire outside.

I didn't have time to think about how I hadn't felt the slightest movement of the stone trough, so I quickly grabbed the edge of the stone trough and looked out.

Dong Xiaowei's subordinates were searching everywhere around the cave, but Dong Xiaowei himself stood on the altar and said to one of his subordinates: "Wang Huan is worthy of being a preparatory disciple of the Divine Sect, and when he is one trick off, he can even guess the secret of the Lonely Mountain Altar." ”

The subordinate said, "The subordinate didn't understand what Miss meant. ”

Dong Xiaowei said: "Look here, this altar records a total of four kinds of creatures, frogs, fish, monkeys and snakes. The most common occurrence of the ancient Dian sacrifice is the snake, and the pattern on the altar is also respected by the snake. ”

"Frogs and fish are at the bottom because they are both food for snakes. Monkeys are slightly higher, and in ancient times, there has always been a saying that monkeys are afraid of snakes, that is, monkeys who should have become the guardians of Jianmu can only be reduced to a next-class existence after the appearance of snakes. ”

Dong Xiaowei pointed to the top of the altar and said: "In the sacrifices of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the snake is the messenger who can connect with the gods, so they put the snake at the top. ”

"Wang Huan's inference should be correct, the last secrets of the ancient Dian Kingdom are all in this altar. Dong Xiaowei said, "I think we should open the altar." ”

Dong Xiaowei's subordinates hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, I think it's better for us not to move the altar easily." In the eyes of wizards, the altar is the most sacred place, and there is nothing special in the altar. I think it's still ......."

Dong Xiaowei waved his hand and said: "The tomb of the monarch of the ancient Dian Kingdom has never appeared, since we have found the altar of the ancient Dian Kingdom, why don't we go and verify whether the monarch of the Dian Kingdom was buried under the altar back then? ”

If I hadn't hid myself to avoid Dong Xiaowei, I would definitely go out and scold myself now-Dong Xiaowei still doesn't have a long brain? Can the altar be a place to bury people? Which monarch will bury himself under the altar if his head is pumped, is he ready to let the gods step on his corpse and descend?

As soon as this thought crossed my head, I felt chills all over my body. Dong Xiaowei can calculate me again and again, she is by no means a stupid person, she will suddenly make such a foolish decision, there must be another purpose.

I turned my head to look at Ye Xun's position, but he didn't even make a sound. Is Ye Xun hiding in another stone trough, or has he already gone out?

When I was anxious, I heard someone say, "Miss, should we use an instrument to verify whether there is a tomb under the altar?" ”

"Don't bother. Without warning, Dong Xiaowei pulled out a pistol from one of his subordinates, raised his hand at the top of the altar and fired three shots in succession. After the gunshot, there was a sudden sound of ceramic exploding over the altar, and a stream of blue liquid mixed with broken porcelain pieces fell from the air.

I changed directions several times in a row but couldn't see what Dong Xiaowei had broken, and the only thing I could see clearly was that all the blue liquid had seeped into the altar, and not a single trace of it had flowed outside.

Is there an empty underneath the altar?

Dong Xiaowei also said at this time: "Do you believe me now?"

"Miss wise. Someone complimented him before he said, "Bring the tools, and we'll open the altar." ”

Before the men could take out their tools, I heard a loud "thud" from under the altar, as if something was hitting the bottom of the altar desperately.

After several deafening bangs, several bronze levers slowly stretched out around the altar, and the altar, which was originally cylindrical, suddenly turned into a millstone.

Dong Xiaowei tried to push the lever: "The altar can turn?

Before Dong Xiaowei finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from under the altar, and the bluestone slab that was originally covered above the altar was rushed into the air by a huge force, and smashed away into the distance with a dignified wind. The torn stone slabs flew around against the ground, and the python that stood under the bronze pillar suddenly poked its head out from under the altar. The huge snake's head was raised in the air, and everyone quickly retreated in amazement.

Dong Xiaowei shouted sharply: "Come back, push the altar to rotate, quickly!"

Dong Xiaowei's subordinates deserved to be elite, she only gave an order, and immediately someone rushed to the altar regardless of right or wrong, holding the bronze lever and pushing it in the same direction.

As soon as the altar had been rotated for a few meters, there was a loud clicking sound at the bottom as if some mechanism had been suddenly locked, and the head of the snake, which had been raised high, fell sharply after the strange sound, and rushed straight to the top of a person's head.

The man instinctively wanted to dodge back, but Dong Xiaowei shouted: "Don't hide, stand up for me!"

The man immediately stood back in his place, straightening up and closing his eyes.

The head of the serpent, which had already fallen, stopped two or three feet away from the other party, and could not go any further, and although the snake letter that spat out of its mouth shook loudly in front of the man's eyes, it always kept a few inches away from him.

The man subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his head and turned his head to look at Dong Xiaowei.
