Chapter 66: On the Many Ways to Open the Door
The entrance opens, and so does the adventure.
Full of anticipation, a group of eight people crossed the water curtain of the waterfall and entered the entrance, and walked along the passage that was neither wide nor narrow, with Yang Yi opening the way and Carl cushioning behind.
The passage was empty, there was nothing, and it didn't seem to be entering the cave so quickly, but a path leading to the cave.
According to the development of the script, this kind of passage is normally full of dangers, so it is necessary for everyone to be cautious!
Yang Yi pulled out his long sword and walked forward cautiously, behind him was Xu Linglong, then Wu Sanren, Mu Zhenren, Feiyun, and then Xie Zhe, Ben Sanren, and Carl. In addition to the Honsanren, the other seven were all exploring the ruins of the ancients for the first time, so it was inevitable that the mood was a little excited, and the originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere began to be a little nervous.
To their disappointment, the passage was filled with granite on all sides, with no torches from the TV series and no crossbow arrows that could shoot people into hedgehogs. In fact, this is a cave of the ancestors, not a cemetery, and there is basically nothing dangerous. After all, no matter how cautious you are, you won't get a bunch of life-threatening things in your own home, right?
However, the absence of a mechanism does not mean that there is no trouble, and the group walked along the passage for more than ten meters and then turned diagonally to the ground along the corner, and the change of angle began to make the light in the passage less and less, and after two more turns, it was completely plunged into darkness.
Cultivators can see things at night, but it doesn't matter if it's dark, but as soon as Xie Zhe leaves the light, he becomes blind, his eyes are black, and he can't see anything, and when he walks, he has to be careful not to step on the heel of Feiyun in front of him.
Fortunately, Feiyun was empathetic, and after being stepped on twice, he quickly understood the difficulties of his apprentice, and casually found a reason to put an enhanced version of the fire technique to illuminate the surrounding path.
After walking along the passage for about seventy or eighty meters, they went deep into the belly of the mountain in a twist and turn, and the danger never appeared, disappointing Xu Linglong and Wu Sanren, who were full of expectations.
Finally, the scene in front of them changed, and the end of the deep passage appeared in front of them!
It was a stone door, two meters long and wide, like the passage, with an intricate pattern tattooed on it, which vaguely looked like a dragon with teeth and claws. Of course, in fact, this is just wishful thinking, in Xie Zhe's view, it is a piece of ghost painting, which is called an abstract painting at best, and it is a work that a layman with no art skills casually messes around in order to carve the faΓ§ade.
The reason why it is said that this is a stone door is also wishful thinking. Seeing that something was blocking the way in front of him, Yang Yi made a gesture to put everyone on guard, and then held his sword and walked forward cautiously.
Xie Zhe and the three of them, who walked at the back, were sightseers and would not help, so they still had to come by themselves when they took the risk!
With the light of the fire in Feiyun's hand, Xie Zhe saw Yang Yi slowly approaching the stone gate, and waved his hand as if to test it with Zhenyuan, and only after making sure that there was no danger did he touch the abstract pattern.
He tried to sense things behind the door with his mana, but it didn't seem to be fruitful, and then he tried to push the stone door, but there was no movement.
Push to the left, the door doesn't move, push to the right, the door doesn't move, push forward, still can't push. If you go up, you can't lift it even more.
A handsome guy touched the stone door for a long time, which made Xie Zhe laugh secretly in his heart. As a writer, he wasn't sure what the mystery of such a place would be, but even if he thought on his toes, he knew that the door was not open that way.
However, as a magistrate and senior, he can't talk casually and affect the interest of the younger generation. So he smiled silently, and on the side of Carl, leaning against the granite wall, watched Yang Yi's wonderful performance with great interest.
Five minutes later, Yang Yi, who had groped N times, finally lost helplessly. He shrugged his shoulders at Xu Linglong, who was pouting and complaining about him, with an embarrassed face, and then coughed dryly: "This door can't be pushed, let's think about it and see if there is any way." β
"Trap!"
"Formation!"
"Keys!"
Wu Sanren, Mu Zhenren, and Feiyun, the three of them spoke their thoughts almost at the same time. Xu Linglong, the only one who didn't think of the routine, pouted even higher.
Holding the idea of everyone going out together, Yang Yi pulled Xu Linglong out of the way, pointed to the stone gate, and smiled at the third Wusanren: "You come." β
"Okay!"
The hot-blooded man stepped forward with great interest, moved his muscles and bones, and then took out a mini flashlight the size of a little thumb from his pocket and began to search for the location of the "mechanism" around the stone gate.
Xie Zhe sighed secretly, with this artifact, where did he hide it earlier!
With the help of a flashlight, the Wusan people turned on the carpet search mode, leaving their fingerprints on the granite passage and the stone door of unknown material. However, the "mechanism" he asked for did not appear.
Five minutes later, Takesanren was defeated like a defeated rooster and returned to his place in a huff, giving way to the agent behind him, Mu Zhen.
The high-tech equipment of Mu Zhenren is obviously much more professional than the previous two men. She stepped forward on her long legs, tapped her left arm a few times, and then said, "Activate the detection system, search for traces of energy." β
is worthy of being a professional, and even the tone is more stylish than the person in front of him as soon as he speaks!
Xie Zhe nodded secretly, expecting that the agent girl who was not very good at the Dao number would be able to find some clues.
However, the Mujin people let him down. No, to be precise, it should be high-tech that has disappointed everyone!
"After the search, no traces of energy were found within five meters of the front. β
A small mechanical synthesized sound sound sounded in the tunnel, and Mu Zhenren didn't say anything, and returned to his original position with a blank face.
Then it was Feiyun's turn.
Being watched by everyone, Feiyun suddenly became a little nervous. The first few people failed, and she felt that her unreliable guess was probably useless. She stole a glance at Xie Zhe and winked at him, as if hoping that he could help come up with ideas.
Xie Zhe smiled and said nothing. Feiyun was already the last to try, and if he really knew something, it wouldn't be a big deal to say it, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything. Although he had an idea in his heart, the idea was too rough, and he thought it would be better not to say it.
Without the help of Baiyunsanren's predecessors, Feiyun moved towards the stone gate with a lack of self-confidence, and after a symbolic casual search, he ran back in disgrace, and glanced at Xie Zhe with a resentful glance.
The Taoist friends really all missed, and Yang Yi suddenly felt that he was not so ashamed. He smiled, stabbed his sword on the ground, and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"
The losers shook their heads. Only Mu Zhenren was the most calm, and his tone continued without ups and downs: "Since there is no energy to control the stone gate, and there is no trace of mechanical equipment, then this should be just an ordinary stone door, just push it open with all your might." β
Xie Zhe couldn't help but nod secretly when he heard this. This idea was one of the things that came to his mind just now. The stone gate is at least two meters long and wide, the thickness is conservatively estimated to be more than fifteen centimeters, and the weight is several thousand catties. Although Yang Yi's cultivation is not low, if there are no rollers installed on the edge of the stone gate, under the action of pressure and friction, it may not be able to push such a heavy thing.
"What if you push it away with brute force, but you touch the mechanism?" Yang Yi frowned.
The corners of Mu Zhenren's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said two words: "Block." β
As long as it's not a top-level hidden weapon that can crush them, one is responsible for breaking the gate, and the other few are helping to block it.
Xie Zhe felt more and more that Mu Zhenren was a professional, much more mature than several other fledgling newcomers.
Everyone had no opinion on this idea, so several people came to the front as helpers, and Yang Yi, who was the strongest, stood a few steps away and used the sword in his hand to forcibly demolish the gate!
"Push away" is just to say, if you have the strength to push, it is not as simple and handsome as a sword to break!
Feiyun went to the front, and the firelight naturally followed. Xie Zhe only saw Yang Yi holding a sword in his right hand, pinching a sword trick in his left hand, and seemed to whisper something in his mouth, and then a burst of blue light suddenly erupted from his body, staining the cold sword!
Under the light of the fire, the figure reflected in the passage was as evil as the ancient great wizard. The ice-blue cold light condensed, and with Yang Yi's clear drink, it turned into a section of ice and snow transparent blue sword light, which sliced through the air with a hiss, and slammed into the stone door!
Bang!
The sword struck the abstract pattern in the center of the stone gate, and the huge destructive power it carried suddenly exploded, like an angry dragon, the top horn smashed into the blocking stone, and with a click, a half-meter-wide circular gap was broken in the stone door half a foot behind.
The passage was suddenly much colder, and the power of the cold ice sword of the Quadruple Xuanfei Realm was already quite good. Xie Zhe, who saw the real "sword qi" for the first time, was stunned for a while, and was attracted by Yang Yi's handsome appearance that he had no friends.
Of course, he was absolutely not interested in Yang Yi, but after seeing that sword ray, he really realized that he was already a person who stepped on the cultivation realm, and he could also send out such a fierce attack in the future!
On the side of the stone gate, the four Dharma protectors who were on guard did not hear the movement of the mechanism. When they looked at the destructive power of Yang Yiyi's sword, they all had some envy in their eyes.
Finding that there was no mechanism, Yang Yi stepped forward a few times to blast the stone gate into stone slag. Maybe it was the cold ice sword qi that froze the air later, the stone door was broken and no dust was raised, and the things behind the door directly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Xie Zhe looked through the firelight in Feiyun's hand, and saw that behind the door was a large stone room, which was empty, with only a few futons lined up. And behind the futon, there is a stone lotus throne with a dried corpse in ancient costumes on it!
