Chapter 118: Toad
I slept very soundly this night, and Wu Xingfeng woke up in the morning. He was busy outside, but he was idle.
Not long after Wu Xingfeng got up, the goddess came back from outside and brought food for Wu Xingfeng. "Ah Mei's subordinates have found an ancient tomb in the north of the city, do you want to go and see it? ”
"Oh?"
Ancient tombs are rare, you must know that it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing at this time, who will build a mausoleum, ordinary people are simply impossible, the ancient tombs found by the Xuannu must be a place built by capable people with strong strength for themselves.
"Eat some before leaving!" the goddess shouted from behind, Wu Xingfeng had already walked out of the courtyard, and the goddess had no choice but to follow.
"Tell me what the ancient tomb looks like?" Wu Xingfeng is really curious, as he grew up in modern times, although the knowledge he receives is biased towards scientific innovation, but the mystery of the ancient tomb can not be explained by science.
"Not all things are the same through the ages, and they can't grow wings. The goddess teased and squeezed her eyes, and glared at Wu Xingfeng angrily.
Wu Xingfeng doesn't care so much, since it is an ancient tomb, it must have his value, and it is likely to be left by the Fuxi period. "You walk so slowly, what if a baby is caught by a bad guy. ”
The goddess scoffed. "Even if there are really bad people, who dares to be presumptuous in Lianshan City, and there is a sister over there. The goddess pointed to the entrance to the city, ten miles ahead. "The entrance to the tomb is just north of the city. ”
The north of the city is up, the five elements belong to water, the color is black, and the hexagram is a kan. The number of the innate is six, and the number of the acquired is one. 16. A total of six sects of water. Water is the soul of life, is the only way for the two souls of heaven and earth to travel outside the world, and the entrance of the ancient tomb is built in the north of the city, which shows that the person who built it knows the five elements of gossip.
Far away, Wu Xingfeng saw many people surrounding the entrance to the north of the city, the entrance had been blocked at this time, and two hundred soldiers were holding weapons and waiting solemnly. The three purple qi wizards stood on a high place to patrol and observe, in case people with bad intentions took the opportunity to cause trouble.
As soon as Wu Xingfeng landed, Xuannu ran over and pointed to the entrance of the cave excitedly. "There's xenomorphs down there, it's alive. ”
Wu Xingfeng frowned and observed, the collapse of the cave entrance was sixty steps away from the entrance of the north gate. The gap in the collapse is very smooth, not so much a collapse, but someone accidentally moved the mechanism hidden in the city, causing the mechanism to activate and open the portal to the entrance.
Under the visual inspection, the entrance is about one zhang long and three, about half a zhang wide, and there are bluestone steps below, and the steps wind straight down, forming a curved brick.
After entering, there is a warm current spreading outward, and there is a faint light below.
"Have you gone down to see it?" The reason why Wu Xingfeng asked this was because of the sentence just now, there are different species below, and they are alive.
Xuannu nodded. "It's a toad, three-legged. The mouth contains a glowing bead, which is supposed to be a pearl in the sea. When it saw me, it winked at me. ”
"How can there be toads here?" Wu Xingfeng thought about it, thinking that the north wind suddenly blew last night, maybe it was a strong wind that swept away the layers of soil covering the underground palace organs.
"Legend has it that the saliva of the toad is highly poisonous, and I don't know what the owner of the tomb thinks. When the Xuannu was puzzled, she pulled Wu Xingfeng to the underground palace.
There was no mechanism in the dungeon, and after walking vertically along the spiral staircase for a few feet, I saw a huge object lying motionless on the open ground below.
When Wu Xingfeng looked at the toad, the toad was looking up at Wu Xingfeng.
The reason why there is light in the underground palace is because of the bright jade in the sea in the mouth of the toad, which is what later generations call the pearl of the night. The toad is huge, and the night pearl in its mouth is also huge, and it is much bigger than a normal person's head after visual inspection.
Wu Xingfeng remembered the East China Sea Dragon Ball suspended above the East China Sea Dragon Palace, which was as bright as a small sun, and the one in the toad's mouth was only half a circle smaller than the one in the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
"Look, it's winking at you, too. "Xuannu seems to have a good impression of the toad, mainly because this toad's demeanor is different from other toads.
"There are no bumps on the surface of its body, and its integrated body is as ruddy as a precious jade, presumably the bead in its mouth has a miraculous effect. After observing the toad, the goddess analyzed the body shape and habits of the toad.
Wu Xingfeng walked around the toad, and the toad saw Wu Xingfeng walking around it, and also turned his head with Wu Xingfeng, but when it was larger, it could only move its head a little when it turned.
"Do you want to go out?" Wu Xingfeng stopped and said to the hazy toad.
The toad has become refined over time, and it seems to be able to understand Wu Xingfeng's speech. After thinking about it, he nodded slightly.
"Can you speak?" Xuannu looked curiously, the toad in front of her was ten times larger than her mount, the green wood wolf.
The toad tilted its head to look at the Xuannu, then shook its head.
"How many years have you been here?" Wu Xingfeng said as soon as he said that he shouldn't ask that, so he changed his words. "Is there an inscription here that records the deeds?"
The toad turned its head slightly to look at the stone wall behind it.
The goddess stepped forward and stretched out her hand to sense.
"Inside is an enclosed space, which should be the resting place of the owner of the underground palace. ”
After the goddess finished speaking, she looked at Wu Xingfeng, Wu Xingfeng did not give an answer, the goddess asked if she wanted to break through the stone wall and enter the interior of the underground palace, and Wu Xingfeng was thinking about the consequences of forcibly opening the underground palace.
"Is your master inside?" Wu Xingfeng raised his hand and pointed at the stone wall, there was no superfluous pattern on the stone wall, and it was completely different from the surroundings, and it was impossible to distinguish which of the four walls was the gateway to enter the underground palace.
Toad shook his head, then nodded again.
Since this thing can't speak, Wu Xingfeng can only guess. "Only one of the four walls is the entrance to the dungeon, and the other three walls have mechanisms inside?"
Toad nodded, looking at Wu Xingfeng with puzzled eyes.
Wu Xingfeng continued: "If you want to enter this wall behind you, you can only use brute force?"
This time the toad opened his eyes wide, then shook his head.
"Is there an entry mechanism?" Wu Xingfeng asked again.
This time, instead of shaking his head or nodding, the toad closed his eyes and wagged his tail slightly.
"What it means is that as soon as it moves its position, the wall behind it will open, and at the same time. After pondering, Xuannu said what she thought in her heart.
Wu Xingfeng turned his head to the west wall, urging the aura to perceive, when the body did not touch the wall, the aura could not penetrate into the wall, after approaching, touching the wall, there was an aura rebound in the internal space.
The goddess opened her mouth and said, "If Ah Mei's analysis is correct, then the toad can't move. You can only rely on brute force to make a hole in the wall, but the wall is based on a natural stone wall, once it is hit, it will inevitably vibrate, the force is too small to break the gap, and the force is too strong to affect the internal structure. ”
"Yao Ji is right, I don't know what age the ancient tomb is so far, and judging from the clues we have at this time, it should be more than a thousand years. Brute force entry is the next policy, let's think about it again. ”
Just taking care of the tomb spirit beast, he knew that the inner underground palace was likely to contain supernatural treasures, and after thinking about it, Wu Xingfeng decided to study the way to enter the inner underground palace.
When Wu Xingfeng and the others were talking, the toad kept lying on his stomach, and even if he moved, his head was turning, and his three legs were sticking to the ground without separation.
The floor is paved with stone slabs, and under the stone slabs are complex mechanical devices. Reiki snooping can only see vague shapes, but no way of knowing how they work.
The Xuannu stood on the east side, and after sensing the aura, she walked to the north.
The goddess stood on the west side, and after sensing the aura, she walked to the south.
After perceiving the four walls, the second woman came to a conclusion. The east side has the air of Keshan, the north side is cold and biting, the west side has a sinister atmosphere, and the south side is mild like spring, and the temperature is the same as where the toad is.
The entrance to the inner dungeon that the toad said was to the south.
"This mechanism is supposed to use a medium-gravity device. The toad did not move for a thousand years, but it never starved to death. It should rely on the night pearl in its mouth to replenish energy. ”
Wu Xingfeng listened to the conversation between the two daughters of Shenxuan and said: "The weight of the toad has not changed in a thousand years, which is enough to show that the owner of the tomb has anticipated everything in advance and taken everything that may happen into account. ”
"Xingfeng, in your opinion, if you enter the inner underground palace. The goddess pointed to the position where the three of them were standing, which was not only a reminder to Wu Xingfeng, but also a rhetorical question about whether her idea could be established.
