Chapter 113 - Underground Stone Vault
When the light dissipated, everyone found that it was dark all around, and they observed the surroundings with their divine senses, only to find that everyone had appeared in a strange cave. Take a closer look at it, this cave is not too big, but it is more than enough to accommodate everyone, but there is nothing else in the cave, but there are roads on both sides of the cave, and I don't know where it leads.
"It doesn't seem like a trap here, I think we're in the treasure cave. Liu Bei said.
Could it be that the light just now brought us into the treasure cave?, Long Xiangtian thought to himself.
"There are roads on both sides, how should we go?" Guan Yu asked the crowd.
"How do we get out?" asked Long Xiangtian.
Cao Cao said: "Don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, as for going that way......"
Liu Bei knew that the reason why Cao Cao didn't say anything was because the people on his side had to make a choice, because they had rejected Cao Cao's proposal to cooperate before, and now in the treasure cave, Cao Cao needed his side to express whether he wanted to cooperate or not.
Because he didn't know Cao Cao before and didn't know what he was like, Liu Bei politely refused to cooperate with Cao Cao, but along the way, Liu Bei found that Cao Cao's personality was okay, and he didn't look like that kind of sinister person, and about the things on Penglai Immortal Island, Cao Cao knew a little more than the people on his side, so Liu Bei felt that it was okay to cooperate with him, so he said: "Brother Cao, the current situation is unknown, so I think it's better to go together, and if you encounter danger, you can also take care of each other." ”
Hearing that Liu Bei meant to agree to cooperate, Cao Cao asked Long Xiangtian again: "What do Brother Xiangtian think?"
Long Xiangtian didn't think about it, so he said directly: "What Brother Bei means is what I mean, you decide!"
"Okay, let's act together, I think the road on both sides is the same, why don't you choose one at random!" Cao Cao asked everyone: "How about taking the front one?"
The crowd agreed, and they searched along the passage in front of them.
The passage twisted and turned, and everyone walked for a while, and the passage that was originally narrow after all became suddenly clear, and suddenly found that there was a faint light in front of them, which was suspected to be the way out, so everyone hurriedly followed the light and walked forward, only to see a huge underground gem vault into everyone's eyes.
The stone library is full of fluorite, the stone library is very transparent, only to see that the stone library is very huge, the ground is unfathomable, and there are countless large stone pillars with strange shapes distributed in all directions of the stone library. The pillars are connected to each other by chain bridges, and on each pillar there is a passage in and out, which seems to require the passage of these pillars and the chain bridge to reach the center. In the center, there is a clearing with stone monuments, towers, and stone statues, among which there seem to be a few circles of light that rotate and glow, but they are too far away to be seen.
At the same time, they also found that the entrance to the passage that they had entered here was only one of them, and there were several passages on the stone walls of the treasury on all sides, all of which were well above the ground, and each had a chain bridge connected to the stone pillars.
Suspecting that the center of the vault might be the entrance to the treasure, they decided to step on the chain bridge to find out. So everyone carefully stepped on the chain bridge, the chain bridge shook by force, and then looked down, only to see that the ground was pitch black, bottomless, in case of falling, it was broken bones, which made people frightened.
In order to obtain the treasure of the divine weapon, everyone will be frightened by this danger, and all of them are also extraordinary, and soon pass one stone pillar after another, but the further they go inside, the more forks in the road, and everyone gradually does not know which is the real road to the center.
Just as everyone was deciding which route to choose for the next section of the road, Cao Cao suddenly stopped everyone: "Wait, do you think that the distribution of these stone pillars seems to have some kind of law?"
Liu Bei said: "It's a bit like the arrangement of the stars. ”
Cao Cao nodded and said, "It is true that these stone pillars seem to be disorganized, but if you look closely, you can still see that the placement of these stone pillars is secretly in line with the distribution of the stars. ”
"If it's really arranged according to the position of the stars, then what's the point?" Long Xiangtian asked suspiciously.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Brother Xiangtian, don't you know that among the stars in the sky, the Big Dipper can guide the direction? In some star formations, the North Star refers to the eye of the formation, and the Big Dipper can point to the North Pole, I guess that if we can follow the distribution of the Big Dipper, we may be able to reach the center." ”
"Oh, then let's give it a try!" Long Xiangtian said.
Liu Bei said: "First of all, we must determine the location of the Big Dipper in the stone pillar. ”
So everyone began to look around, and began to look for the stone pillars arranged according to the Big Dipper, but there were so many stone pillars, it was not possible to find them in a moment and a half.
With so many stone pillars, Long Xiangtian was dazzled, and when he was distressed, Long Xiangtian suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he asked Cangming in his heart: "Cangming, do you have a way for us to find out the stone pillars distributed according to the Big Dipper?"
Cangming replied: "Absolutely, master, Cangming can use your master's eyes to analyze the location of these stone pillars, and find out the stone pillars arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper." ”
Long Xiangtian was suddenly elated, and hurriedly asked Cangming to operate, and soon, Long Xiangtian had an answer.
Suddenly, I saw Long Xiangtian pointing in several directions and saying to everyone: "I see, from here, here, here, and then there, there, and finally there, there, the position of these seven stone pillars is not arranged according to the Big Dipper!"
Everyone looked at the position pointed by Long Xiangtian one by one, and after careful judgment, they found that sure enough, this route could indeed reach the center, and it was indeed arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper.
"Great, Xiangtian, you've helped a lot again!" Liu Bei said excitedly.
"Where, where, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke!" Long Xiangtian said embarrassedly touching his head. But I was very proud in my heart.
"Xiangtian, why are your eyes so sharp? I really can't see if you don't say it!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but say.
Long Xiangtian knew that this was not easy to explain, and he couldn't tell them the truth and expose his secrets, so he hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this, let's go along this route!"
So everyone followed Long Xiangtian's guidance, and after seven rounds and eight rounds, they finally came to the open space in the center of the stone library.
I saw that around the open space, there were four large stone statues of the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the Xuanwu, which were lifelike, and in the center of the clearing, there were four large oval apertures of more than two meters high and one meter wide, and there was a large stone tablet next to each aperture, and these tablets were engraved with the words "Divine Soldier", "Flying Sword", "Armor" and "Magic Weapon" in turn.
"Could it be that these apertures are the entrance to the treasure?" Guan Yu said in surprise.
"It seems that an aperture leads to a dimensional space, and according to the words engraved on these stone tablets, I think the treasures hidden in these apertures are divine weapons, flying swords, armor, and magic weapons in order. Cao Cao said.
"That's right. Liu Bei sighed: "I didn't expect us to enter here so easily, it's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here!"
Then Cao Cao asked Liu Bei and Long Xiangtian: "Since this is the entrance to the hidden treasure, there must be no danger, in this case, how about we separate and take what we need?"
Liu Bei understood that now that the entrance to the treasure has been found, there is no need to continue to cooperate, and now is the time for everyone to rely on their own abilities, so Liu Bei hugged his fists and readily agreed: "What Brother Cao said is very true, let's separate, please!"
Cao Cao and the others also clasped their fists and said, "Please!"
After speaking, Cao Cao took his subordinates, the Xiahou clan and the four Cao brothers, into the circle of light representing the "flying sword".
"Oh, their first choice wasn't even a divine soldier? Liu Bei pointed to the aperture representing the divine soldier and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Second brother, third brother, the divine soldier of your dreams is here, are you ready to choose the divine soldier?"
"Big brother, we've been itching for a long time!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.
"Xiangtian is also coming!" Liu Bei said to Long Xiangtian.
Seeing that Lu Bu hadn't come here yet, Long Xiangtian said with some hesitation: "I'm still waiting!"
Liu Bei knew that Long Xiangtian was worried about Lu Bu, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to say, "Then we can go in!"
"Well, Brother Bei, go in quickly!" Long Xiangtian said.
So Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei into the circle of light representing the divine soldiers.
In fact, Long Xiangtian didn't care too much about the treasures on Penglai Immortal Island, because he already had divine weapons and flying swords, and he didn't have those treasures in his heart.
So Long Xiangtian waited outside the aperture, wait, wait, wait, wait for the second wave of people to come, and this second wave of people came to Sun Ce and his group.
Sun Ce was very surprised when he saw Long Xiangtian, he didn't expect someone to arrive earlier than them, seeing that it was Long Xiangtian, Sun Ce hurriedly came over to greet him: "Senior Brother Xiangtian! No wonder Senior Brother is reluctant to go with us, it turns out that Senior Brother has already had a way, no, he arrived here earlier than us!"
"Ah, Senior Brother Sun!" Long Xiangtian asked with a smile, "By the way, has Senior Brother Sun seen my eldest brother Lu Bu?"
Sun Ce thought for a moment and asked, "Is the eldest brother that Brother Long said a person dressed in beast clothes?"
Long Xiangtian hurriedly nodded and asked excitedly, "Yes, Senior Brother Sun has seen my eldest brother, so where is he now?"
But seeing Sun Shangxiang, he said angrily: "Hmph! I did see him when I was on the mountain, he was also looking for the entrance like us at that time, we invited him to look for it with us, but we never wanted to be rejected by him disdainfully, and now he is probably still looking for the entrance!"
"Senior brother is here just to wait for your eldest brother?" Sun Ce asked Long Xiang Tiandao.
Long Xiangtian nodded and said, "I haven't been in yet, but my brother Bei and Cao Cao have already gone in." ”
Sun Ce determined that the reason why Long Xiangtian didn't go in was not any danger, and learned that someone had already entered before them, so he didn't say anything more to Long Xiangtian, and hurriedly led everyone into the circle of light representing the divine soldiers.
After entering the aperture, Sun Shangxiang said to Sun Ce: "Brother, do you say that Long Xiangtian is stupid, in order to wait for his eldest brother, he is willing to give up this good opportunity to hunt for treasures first." ”
Sun Ce said: "If I also have such a brother, I will be very happy!"
Seeing Sun Ce and his gang enter the aperture, Long Xiangtian continued to wait firmly for Lu Bu to appear.
