After a pillar of incense, the two teams carefully dismantled the important parts of the wild dragons, and searched their caves again by the way.

"Wait!"

Just as the group was about to go out from the bottom of the gloomy cave, Venerable Xun He shouted again to stop.

Holding the yarrow and the two-knotted bamboo, he sensed it carefully for a moment, and then silently recited something.

Divination is an extremely advanced science, not only reflected in the variety of divination tools.

The soothsayer must be proficient in all kinds of hexagrams, dictionaries, etc., and must also have a very strong foundation in arithmetic!

One of the few strange books left over from ancient times, called "Calculus", with four chapters and thirty-two chapters and millions of words, is one of the foundations of divination.

“……”

At this moment, no one bothered Xun and calculated, and even breathed very slowly.

After half a cup of tea, he turned his head to look at the cave wall on his left.

Kun Jue immediately "understood", the strange pattern plate axe was held high, and the air in the cave also surged and converged on the plate axe.

"Open!"

With a loud shout, Kun Jue's plate axe slashed on the cave wall with the momentum of opening the mountain.

Rumble!

Click!

With a loud crashing sound, a crack nearly three feet deep and nine feet long from top to bottom appeared on the gray cave wall like a centipede.

"Oh~"

The Baili brothers and some middle and low-level Qi Refining Realm martial artists were all deeply shocked by Kun Jue's blow.

But at this time, Xun You's dark face turned green, and he scolded: "What are you doing!"

Kunjue, who had chopped an axe, was now holding a torch and looking at the cave wall, still looking puzzled, and muttered, "Why didn't you break through?"

Hearing Venerable Ya Ce's question, he turned his head and asked, "Didn't you mean that there was something behind the wall of this cave? But the wall of this cave is quite thick, and I didn't even split it with an axe." ”

Venerable Yace's dry, wrinkled face twitched, and he stomped his feet in anger and said, "Did I say so!"

“……”

Kun Jue realized that he seemed to have misunderstood what Venerable Ya Ce meant, scratched his head in embarrassment, and laughed dryly:

"Hahaha...... That one...... What do you mean?"

After taking two deep breaths, Venerable Ya Ce calmed down his emotions and said with residual anger:

"There's something worth digging in that direction. I don't know exactly what the situation is. ”

Kun Jue pointed to the place that was cut open by himself, and said with an innocent expression: "This direction? Isn't that to split this stone wall?"

When Venerable Yace, who had just lost his breath, heard him say this, his anger rushed up in anger, and he was so angry that he coughed, and after a while, he shouted:

"Are you stupid?!It's a mountain over there!Solid!Are you stupid?Are you stupid?Ah!Ah~"

Venerable Yace roared, almost suffering from internal injuries in anger.

At this time, other people couldn't help but stare at Kun Jue with strange eyes, he was embarrassed for a while, and two "blushes" were clearly seen on his bronzed face, and he muttered: "You didn't make it clear......"

Seeing Kun Jue's embarrassment, Zishang couldn't help but feel funny, this stupid big man is still shy, but he is a lover!

Although Kun Jue didn't pay much attention to the sub-merchant, the sub-merchant's communication skills are not covered!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Hua Fan asked aloud: "Then dare to ask Venerable, can you guide me to find that place?"

scolded Kun Jue fiercely, Xun He's anger was almost gone, and now when Hua Fan asked, he agreed after a little thought.

Crawling out of the cave of the wild spirit, the two hunting squads merged into one, and the group of seventeen people headed east.

After walking for more than sixty miles, they stopped on a cliff twenty feet high.

Now it was also dark, and they set up camp to rest.

Fortunately, the animal skin bag made by Dongyi was relatively well sealed, and the smell of blood did not escape, otherwise they would have to worry about other demon beasts harassing them at night.

The next morning, they carefully surveyed the top and bottom of the cliff.

Kunjue was more presumptuous, standing at the bottom of the cliff and cutting down everything he could, causing cracks to be under the cliff.

Of course, his behavior is also very dangerous.

On one occasion, with a heavy axe, he shook a boulder two feet long, one foot wide and two feet wide, and six feet thick from a height of seven feet.

Boom~

The hundred-ton-heavy boulder statue stuck the giant sword on the ground, making a deafening roar, even though a lot of weeds grew on the ground, it still raised a large cloud of dust!

At that time, Xun Ji, Han Wu and other four people who were on the top of the cliff also felt the shock, and Venerable Yao Ce lay on the top of the cliff, pulling his neck and scolding again.

After surveying for more than three hours, there was still no gain. Xun and divination five or six times, and there is not much progress, you know that this place is worth exploring and has a very valuable wealth!

"Is the direction of the survey wrong?" Zishang thought to himself.

Seventeen of them have been looking for an entrance to the underground, or a cliff, or a treasure buried in the ground, and their purpose is too strong, and their vision is too limited.

So he climbed to the top of the cliff, just in time to see Xun Ji and Han Wu gathered in a dry grass to dig something.

Suddenly, Zishang suddenly thought that in the middle of the night last night, Baili Hu seemed to be squatting there for a while......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the four of them to look disgusted and disgusted, and they were still swearing and swearing in their mouths, and a middle-level Qi Refining Realm martial artist from the Kunjue team before had a murderous look on his face and roared angrily, while one of his hands ......

Zishang turned his head and silently said, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything......

Looking down from the top of the cliff, Zishang found that with the cliff as the center and a radius of fifty zhang, the wild grass on the ground was sparser than the surrounding area.

Within a radius of fifteen feet, the ground seems to be slightly concave.

Squatting down and carefully observing the edge of the cliff, it is more weathered, but you can see that there are still some traces of erosion on the cliff.

In other words, it used to be a waterfall.

Then Zishang roughly inferred the direction of the original river channel through very vague traces on the ground, and walked in this direction, and saw some obvious signs of human activity three miles away.

On the grassy ground, there are scattered remnants of low earthen embankments, some relatively regular large stones are still half-buried in the soil, and a considerable number of pebbles remain in the ancient river channel.

Why was the river cut off by man, and judging from the vague remains, these lands and stone embankments should have been artificially broken.

After pondering the tea, Zishang had several guesses, so he returned to the bottom of the cliff.

Looking at the entire cliff, Zishang finally found something suspicious.

There is a semi-elliptical area at the bottom of the cliff, and the traces of water erosion are noticeably lighter than in other places, and appear relatively flat.

It may be a coincidence, but it may not be true!

He took a closer look at the cracks that Kun Jue had cleaved.

"Huh?"

Through a large crack, Zishang saw a three-foot-deep inside, and there seemed to be an eye-like pattern!

At this time, the voice of a hundred miles cat was heard in the distance.

"Hey, come here, see what I've found?"

Everyone hurriedly gathered to the place where the Baili cat was.

It was the bottom of the cliff on the north side, and Zishang was one of the first people to arrive, only to see that there was a place on the ground where some of the surface soil had been dug up, and a smooth stone ground with a radius of one zhang had been cleared.

There is a large "grinding plate" on it, and it also has this three-foot-long stone handle, but there is nothing unusual about the Baili Cat after a few turns.

"What is this?" someone asked.

"I don't know, it's like a switch. Baili Cat replied.

"Could it be a mechanism that activates an entrance?" Han Wu guessed.

"Possibly! But it looks like it's in disrepair and out of order. Baili Cat turned the stone handle and said.

Hua Fan said: "Then dig up this place and restart it according to the structure of the mechanism!"

"Well, that's a solution!"

Just do it.

Seventeen men took out their tools and began to dig, chise, and hammer......

I don't know if I don't dismantle it, and I'm shocked when I dismantle it.

This switch is connected to the edge of the cliff, and the whole mechanism is amazingly large, the first stage of the starting mechanism connected by the handle alone is one person high, and the various pushing stone rods and crankshaft linkage devices are quite complicated.

In order not to damage the mechanism, they had to be careful not to clear out the first level activation mechanism until it was dark.

After a structural analysis by the crowd, they tried to activate the entire mechanism through a first-level activation mechanism.

However, it did not work out.

If the mechanism is intact, it can be activated with the previous "stone handle grinding disc" with very little effort.

However, it is much more cumbersome and laborious to activate it through a connected first-level initiator.

The activation of a large mechanism cannot be driven by a small stone-handled switch, but must be driven by a small mechanism, layer by layer, and at the same time, with the help of other external forces, such as hydraulics, gravity, etc., to finally make the whole mechanism move.

Now that they've dug up the Level 1 Activation Mechanism and have seen a portion of the Level 2 Activation Mechanism, the whole mechanism is quite large and requires two or more activation devices to open!

Zishang vaguely felt that maybe that gate was the suspicious semi-elliptical area at the bottom of this cliff.

The next day, they continued to clean up the second-level activation mechanism, and looking at the whole from a partial point of view, the size of the second-level mechanism was about six times larger than that of the first-level activation mechanism!

As you can imagine, it will take at least 10 days to clean it up.

However, they didn't actually "excavate" the second-level mechanism completely, and after three days of cleaning, they drove the entire mechanism through the first-level activation mechanism.

It turned out that part of the second-level mechanism was silted up by mud, so it couldn't be moved, and after clearing that part, it was okay.

Thundered!

Squeak squeak!

Pong!

Knock knock!

All kinds of dull loud noises came from the cliffs, the cliffs and the earth were trembling slightly, and some unstable boulders fell from the cliffs.

Click~click~

Eventually, the rock wall of the place that Zishang suspected of cracking suddenly.

The rock shattered, and a metal door creaked down, and when you looked inside, you would find a large metal chain, and a huge metal pillar fell from it, and it shattered the stone wall outside, causing the metal door to fall.

The entrance was formed, a hole five zhang high and ten zhang wide.

Originally, it was the base of the waterfall and a pool below, but at some point, the river dried up and the water dried up, and then the sediment silted up and raised the ground.

So the bottom of the gate was seven feet high, and after the metal gate fell, it was warped for a moment, and then slammed on the ground.

Suddenly, the sand flew away.

Zishang and the others were less than twenty zhang away from the gate, and they also felt a strong air flow blowing by.

The entrance opened, and everyone was overjoyed and eager to enter.

At the same time, Zishang was wondering, who cut off the river and built such a large institution under the waterfall? Is it the Dongyi people who have such a profound level of institutional attainment? Or is it someone else? This project should have required a lot of people to construct, why is it not recorded?

With many questions in mind, he walked into the cave and began to look for answers.
