Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Desert Palace
The light of the fireflies only shines on the ground, and there is no view of the hall. Hu Yanhao took a look around with a fire fold, and found a lamp on a temple pillar, and the anointing oil still existed in the lamp, and the lamp was lit up, and it shone on Zhangxu. The lamp is based on copper, inlaid on the pillar, staggered, the style is not real, only vaguely see that there are nine branches. Hu Yanhao lit the nine lamps, and the hall suddenly saw three zhang of light, three zhang open, there was a pillar on the left and right, and there were also nine copper lamps inlaid on it, Hu Yanhao walked over a little.
The people who fell into the hall with him all died in the quicksand pit, at this time he was alone, but there were four enemy generals opposite, and he was still in the mood to light the lights one by one, this kind of behavior made Meng San very unaccustomed to it, and said: "He is not afraid that we will kill him!" ”
"Don't guess the perverted mind." Twilight said lightly, and swept the hall with the light of the lights lit by Hu Yanhao.
Meng San also had a fire fold on his body, out of curiosity, he also lit the nine lamps on the pillar of the hall here, but he didn't have the patience to finish lighting them, so he only lit a few casually, and he accepted the fire fold when he saw it.
I saw that the main hall was magnificent, with a total of nine pillars, four pillars on one side, and one pillar standing in front of the quicksand pit. The quicksand pit divided the hall in half, the pit was several feet wide, and it was full of the corpses of soldiers and horses. Above the quicksand pit, the yellow sand is still falling, but no one is seen falling again. The horses on the top were like songs, the swords were shouting and killing like crazy, the Northwest Army was fighting with the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Hu Yanhao, and Lu Da's roar could be faintly heard.
Hu Yanhao only led 5,000 soldiers and horses into the desert, facing the angry 50,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest, those Di soldiers had to be crushed, but Hu Yanhao didn't care, he put away the fire fold, walked around the hall on that side, and sighed: "Siamese Empire." ”
The Siamese Empire?
Twilight had never heard of this country, and her face was suspicious.
Meng San smiled when he saw it, "General Yingrui also has something he doesn't know!" I almost thought the general was a man of God, he knew everything! ”
Yuan Xiu kicked him and said to Du Qing: "The ancient kingdom of a thousand years ago, according to legend, was once glorious in the depths of the Tamar Desert, and finally fell due to the drying up of the Krama River and the black storm. It is rumored that the ancient city of Siam is buried under the yellow sand somewhere in the Tamar Desert, and for thousands of years, many literati tourists have cited it as a legend, but they never thought it was true! It's just that the ancient palace we see doesn't look like an ancient city, but like an underground palace. ”
Twilight nodded, approving. She also felt that although the ancient palace here looked like a ruin, it was obviously not a town, but more like a palace where the emperor lived. However, I have never heard of the quicksand pit dug in the main hall where the emperor lives, and the nine pillars of this hall are quite strange, and there is a pillar standing in front of the quicksand pit, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like it is for people to live, but like it is for the dead.
The ancient hall is better said to be an ancient tomb.
"It's good to have an ancient tomb." Hu Yanhao glanced at the main hall and smiled, his left eye was scarred and hideous, "I heard that the Siamese Empire is only one time, and the ancient country is rich and full of gold. The Emperor of Siam hid a batch of gold and armor in the depths of the underground palace, and the armor was invulnerable, and the abundance of gold was enough to establish a country. ”
Hu Yanhao is ambitious, the king of the grassland is not in his heart, he may want to unify the grassland, build a country and become the emperor, and also be the founding emperor.
Meng San rolled his eyes and pouted, "Dream your dreams!" Also the Golden Armor, how do you know that this ghost place is the tomb of the Emperor of Siam? It's your father's grave! ”
He had the intention to scold Hu Yanhao, but after saying this, he snorted first, Hu Yanhao and his father, just that King Di's old son? He doesn't deserve such a good place!
"He's worthy?" Hu Yanhao snorted, his eyes bloodthirsty, a little cruel, a little calm.
Meng San was stunned, remembering how cruel he was to his brothers and sisters last night, and he didn't expect him to have any filial piety towards his father.
"This hall should be related to Siam, look at these nine bronze lamps, shaped like a tree, decorated with white cranes, parrots, and playing monkeys. The ancient country of Siam was built in the desert, the people love the things of the oasis, the carvings on the pillars in this hall, the decorations on the lamps, which are not the things of the desert, don't you think this is the ancient country of Siam? Hu Yanhao was cruel and bloodthirsty a moment ago, but at this moment, it was cloudy and sunny again, and he asked Duqing in a good mood, "The intelligence of General Yingrui is only seen in this king's life, what does the general think?" ”
The four of them were separated from Hu Yanhao by a quicksand pit, although the pit was wide, but Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill would work lightly, and it was not impossible to get by, Hu Yanhao didn't seem to be afraid of the four of them, and he studied the ancient hall in front of the four of them, not so much that he had leisure and leisure, but that he ignored the four of them thoroughly.
Du Qing didn't say a word, and ignored Hu Yanhao, turned his head to Yuan Xiu and said: "There are doors in front of and behind the palace here, there should be a way to open it, but it's best not to, just look at this quicksand pit, it must be dangerous to find a way out in this underground palace, it is better to wait for the yellow sand to flow out." ”
The top of this hall was shot down by the strength of Yuan Xiu's three-arrow divine arm bow, and it was not quicksand, but the sand on the sand dunes was falling down. Since it is yellow sand, there will always be a time when it will fall.
Lu Da was still leading the Northwest Army to fight, and from time to time he was heard shouting into the sand, but none of the four responded to him. With Lu Da's temperament, if you know that the four people are good underneath, you have to jump down, the commander of the Northwest Army has been lost, and the deputy general must not disappear again, otherwise the 50,000 army will be in danger in the desert.
"Okay, wait!" Yuan Xiu bowed his head and looked at Hu Yanhao, "However, it's boring to just wait like this!" I wonder if Prince Huyan is interested in fighting? I'm interested in keeping Prince Huyan here! ”
It was dark in the hall, and when the lights were lit, he wanted to see what this hall looked like out of curiosity, so he didn't stop Hu Yanhao from lighting the lamp. Now that the palace has made it clear, whether it is the mausoleum of the Siam Emperor or not, Hu Yanhao and his ambitions will stay here!
The only smile in Hu Yanhao's eyes turned cold, and he picked up a scimitar from the edge of the quicksand pit, "This king is also interested in knowing, what does General Yuan think of the taste of the roasted lamb chops?" ”
When the words fell, Meng San scolded, Yuan Xiu's toes were a little flat, like lightning, the sand and dust above his head were like a curtain, the man had no blade in his hand, and smashed open the dust curtain with one punch, the fist wind was like thunder, the wind was like a mad wave, and it was a buzz, shocking the eardrums!
Twilight Qing frowned, and at the same time, her face was slightly gloomy, no matter how strong the fist wind was, how could there be a humming sound like a golden drum?
When her complexion changed slightly, Yuan Xiuren had already passed the sand pit in mid-air, and his fist smashed into Huyanhao's face! Hu Yanhao had fought with Yuan Xiu many times, and knew the fierceness of his fist, so he even sent the knife to his fist, the scimitar was like the moon, and it was cut in two with a sonorous sound, and the blade flowed into the sand like a star, Hu Yanhao held a half-cut knife, smiling.
At this time, Yuan Xiu smashed the scimitar with a punch, and the person also fell to the opposite stone platform, his fist wind was gone, the light skill was about to be collected, the fist momentum and footwork were all at the moment of the collection, and the half-truncated knife in Hu Yanhao's hand pierced his back!
Yuan Xiu didn't seem to be aware of it, his ears moved slightly, his eyes swept along the main hall, and he suddenly shouted: "Get down!" ”
This drink was like thunder, and it was the three people on the other side. Almost at the same time, Moon Kill suddenly raised his hand and pressed Twilight Qing to the ground, Meng San's movements slowed down, and when he lay down, an arrow grazed the top of his head, fortunately he was dressed as a Ledin soldier, and he didn't tie his hair in a bun, otherwise his hair would have been shaved off! The three of them lay on the ground and struggled to raise their heads, only to feel the rain of arrows pressing people, rubbing the top of their heads like crazy, and the sand and dust brought up when passing through the quicksand pit hit their faces, choking people with breathlessness.
There is a trap!
There is already a quicksand pit in the hall, and everyone thinks that the most powerful one has been encountered, but they never thought that there would be more!
Twilight lay on the ground and shouted amidst the rain of arrows, "Nine bronze lamps!" ”
Yuan Xiu was lying on the ground opposite, knowing in his heart that it was the nine copper lamps that were to blame, and they didn't do anything after they emerged from the quicksand pit, except for lighting the nine copper lamps! It's probably this action that triggered the mechanism, but it's unclear what the trigger mechanism is and how to stop it.
Arrows are shot overhead, and when they are arrows, they will be finished, so just wait.
As soon as the thought came to me, Twilight shouted from the other side, "Lamp! Find a way! All lit! ”
Yuan Xiu was slightly stunned, not knowing what he meant, but Twilight Qing didn't have time to explain more. When she looked at this hall, she felt that the pillars of the hall were strange, the two sides were upside down, and one of them was in front of the quicksand pit, and when Hu Yanhao lit the nine lights, she also had a strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't connect them for a while, and now she finally knows where the weirdness is.
Lamp!
There are too many lights!
If this hall is the emperor's mausoleum, with nine pillars and nine lights, the specifications are very reasonable, but for tomb robbers or people like them who accidentally break in, there are too many lights. They came out of the quicksand pit and only did one thing, lighting the lamp - they didn't finish it, they only lit it partially.
Hu Yanhao's side collapsed a side pillar, he didn't light the lamp on it, and they also had a temple pillar on their side that fell to the side, Meng San didn't light the lamp on his head, and the pillar in the hall didn't light it because it stood in front of the quicksand pit.
That's probably what triggers the trap.
Twilight Qing remembered that when Hu Yanhao went to light the copper lamp opposite, she was a little impatient in her heart, just to see the situation in the hall, there was no need to light it at all, Hu Yanhao lit the lamps one by one, she just felt that this pervert was wasting time! Thinking about it at this moment, her mentality should also be the mentality of most people who enter the mausoleum. Hu Yanhao has the ambition of unifying the grassland to establish a country and be called the emperor, he has the feeling of appreciation for the Siam Emperor who created the desert empire, and accidentally entered this hall, he went to appreciate the tomb of the Siam Emperor with a sigh, just like appreciating the tomb after his death, so he has the patience to light a lamp and candle, but the vast majority of people with a normal state of mind will not have this patience.
There are nine pillars in this hall, each pillar is inlaid with nine lamps, a total of eighty-one, not to mention that they are all lit, even if they are only lit on one side, many people do not have this patience. Just like Meng San, when he lit the lamps and candles on this side, he lit a few of each lamp casually.
The person who designed the mechanism in this temple must be a master of guessing people's hearts, so the message of triggering the mechanism was set behind the lamp.
This person is a master of guessing people's hearts, and he must also be able to think that there will be a patient person like Hu Yanhao, just in case, he set up a ninth pillar in the middle of the main hall, and the pillar of the hall is in front of the quicksand pit, once someone goes over to light the lamp, it will presumably trigger the mechanism and fall into the quicksand pit.
This man was a master of the agency's information, and he had calculated everything, but several of them did not die - they were lying on the ground, hiding from the rain of arrows.
Twilight didn't think that the person who designed the mechanism would miss this dead end, there must be something more powerful in this hall!
They must break the mechanism, otherwise they may not have such good luck in the future!
