Chapter 391: The Belly of the Mountain

"Sure enough, there are weird ......"

Xin Lin's eyebrows furrowed.

This kind of Cheng dΓΉ's mechanism design is not enough to surprise the young master of the Seven Wonderful Palace. The main altar of Qimiao Palace, that is the real mechanism, not only the mechanism arranged by the predecessors left over from many years ago, but also the modern mechanism design.

Yanagi must have had some reason to lure them here. Just because this place has the power to suppress Xiao Fan's sixth sense, it is far from enough. With such suppression, it is completely impossible to erase the gap in strength between each other, not to mention that Xiao Fan is not the only opponent that Yanagi Yuyi will face.

Seeing Yuichi Yanagi sinking into the ground with his "throne", and the opening on the stone steps was wide open, Xiao Fan and Xin Lin did not rush to approach, but retreated to the gate of the palace.

After a few moments, the sound of "boom" finally died down, and there was nothing else unusual.

Xiao Fan and Xin Lin glanced at each other, and then slowly moved forward, and the two kept a certain distance to ensure that they could support each other and cover each other when necessary.

"Meowβ€”"

The shadow on the stone beam at the top of the main hall flashed, and Heilin floated down, squatting next to the cracked opening, his eyes narrowing slightly, looking into the opening.

Under the opening, a Yongdao is revealed, paved with blue bricks and bluestone slabs, obliquely downward, about three or four meters deep, the stone "throne", waiting quietly at the bottom of the Yongdao, Yuichi Yanagi on it, but there is no trace.

Xin Lin swung his soft sword, pulled out a ball of sword flowers, and slowly floated towards the bottom of the corridor.

Xiao Fan immediately followed.

At the bottom of the corridor, a new corridor appeared in front of the two. It is still made of blue bricks and paved with bluestone slabs. Exceptionally neat and very dry. Without the slightest damp mist.

The cold light flashed, and Xiao Fan had a small willow leaf flying knife in his hand. Gently insert it into the crack in the wall, remove a little adhesive, crush it in the palm of your hand, put it under your nose and smell it, and put it in your mouth and taste it.

Taste the soil and distinguish the age.

This is a skill that many senior tomb robbers have, but I didn't expect Xiao Fan to seem to be able to.

Xin Lin's eyes showed a hint of inquiry.

"It should be five or six hundred years......

Xiao Fan said in a low voice.

The underground buildings of five or six hundred years ago can be kept so well without maintenance, especially dry and tidy. It is indeed very rare, and it can be seen that when this underground palace was built, it was indeed from the hands of a master craftsman.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Fan stepped forward.

The corridor is very spacious, almost two meters high, and can accommodate two people in parallel. Since it is the location of the main altar of the "Nine Ghost Streams", it is understandable that the underground palace is built more widely. Judging from the scale of the surface buildings, it can accommodate up to a hundred people, plus this underground palace. Naturally, it's very different.

Why the ancestors of the "Nine Ghost Streams" spent so much effort to build such an underground palace is no longer examinable. However, judging from the age of construction, it should be in the Warring States period of the East Island Country, more than 100 years. The major names are divided and the conquest is endless. The northern islands, though very remote, are also caught up in the middle of it. It's just that the Daimyo of the Northern Island at that time was relatively weak. But the battle was just as fierce.

The general altar of "Nine Ghost Streams", strictly speaking. It's a battle fortress. Although it can't reserve too many warriors, it occupies a position that is difficult to open. Without using tens of thousands of troops, it will never be able to attack. And during the Warring States period of the East Island, there was no "luxurious" daimyo with 10,000 troops in the entire northern island.

Perhaps, this is the reason why the ancestors of the "Nine Ghost Stream" built this underground palace.

Neither Xiao Fan nor Xin Lin are archaeologists and have no interest in pursuing this reason.

Xin Lin shook her body and grabbed in front of Xiao Fan. Just after taking a few steps, he felt a tightness on his shoulders, and suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Jia'er, I'm in front." ”

"I'm up ahead."

Xin Lin said without hesitation.

Xiao Fan shook his head with a smile, gently touched her delicate cheeks, and strode past her, blocking in front of her. Looking at Xiao Fan's upright back, Xin Lin bit her lip lightly, clenched the soft sword in her hand, and followed closely.

The passage is diagonally downward. She hadn't gone far before she couldn't see her surroundings at all, and Xin Lin lit up her flashlight.

After about half a moment, I came to a fork in the road.

The "Xuanwu Armor" appeared in Xiao Fan's hand, and after a simple calculation, Xiao Fan walked to the right. Although this dungeon also has the power to suppress Xuanwu Jia, Xuanjia still gave vague information, which is enough for Xiao Fan to make a judgment.

Gradually, it didn't take long to see a large hall, almost half the size of the palace on the top of the mountain. It is very rare to build such a huge hall in the basement. Around the hall, there are also several small houses. I guess it's a place for some kind of discussion.

Both the hall and the surrounding small houses are empty, with only a few stone benches and stone tables, and the carving is quite exquisite. Xiao Fan could see at a glance that these small houses were arranged according to the direction of the five elements.

The ancestors of the "Nine Ghost Streams" who built this underground palace really knew how to set up the array. Although I haven't been able to find the magic circle yet, I guess there must be.

Xiao Fan and Xin Lin walked around and encountered another problem.

Behind the hall, there were three forks.

This time, Xiao Fan didn't make a decision for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Xin Lin asked in a low voice on the side.

Xiao Fan shook his head and said softly: "The power of suppression is getting stronger and stronger, and even the Xuanwu Armor can't be effectively positioned. To the right or to the center, it is possible to ......"

Xin Lin's brows furrowed.

"Why don't you split up?"

After a while, Xin Lin said, her tone not very sure.

Xiao Fan shook his head resolutely.

Although he trusted Xin Lin's ability very much, in this strange underground palace, even Xiao Fan himself felt a little frightened, and naturally he would never agree to pursue separately at this moment.

Although Yuichi Yanagi has been injured, he has a good position here. Moreover, the sixth sense here is greatly suppressed, and the possibility of being attacked by someone has suddenly increased a lot.

At this moment, Heilin chased straight down the middle passage.

Xiao Fan did not hesitate, and immediately followed.

At the critical moment, of course, he unconditionally trusts his natal spirit pet. Cats and dogs are animals that possess some innate abilities that are difficult for humans to achieve. Dogs are especially good at tracking, but cats are not bad.

Xiao Fan believed that Heilin's choice was definitely correct.

Not long after entering the passage in the middle, there was a sudden "click" sound, and Heilin "meowed", jumped up, opened his four claws, and grabbed the gap in the wall. At its feet, a large piece of the floor that looked like bluestone slabs slammed down, and then there was a rumbling sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. It sounds especially thrilling in cramped passages.

After a while, when the sound finally subsided, Xiao Fan and Xin Lin turned on the flashlight and shone it downward, and found that it was a trap, about two meters deep, with four walls, and it was extremely smooth. At the bottom of the trap, there are several sharp bamboo thorns.

It's a fairly simple trap, but it's definitely effective in the middle of this dark and cramped underground passage. Fortunately, Hei Linda's reaction was extremely agile, otherwise once he fell into this pit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xiao Fan and Xin Lin glanced at each other.

Traps are beginning to appear, and no doubt they are approaching the center of the dungeon. This humble trap is just an "appetizer", and the next road will definitely be more difficult and more dangerous.

"Heilin."

Xiao Fan shouted softly.

Heilin made another "meow" and leaned forward.

This corridor is not too long, and I walked out after a few minutes, but within this short section of the corridor, I actually crossed three traps in one go. However, with the first experience, the remaining two traps did not cause them any trouble, and they were not even startled.

After this corridor, there is a new hall, and like the previous hall, there are several small houses around this hall, but they are arranged in an orderly manner according to the orientation of the four elephant arrays.

"It's kind of interesting......

Xiao Fan nodded lightly, thoughtful.

Xin Lin glanced at him. Although there was darkness all around, only the flashlight in Xin Lin's hand shimmered, Xiao Fan could still feel Xin Lin's inquiry.

"Walking here from the hall just now, I briefly calculated the direction, and the direction we are walking in now seems to be a foot of the Great Sixth Formation. It may be very possible that the entire underground building is arranged according to the Great Hexagram. If that's the case, this circle is big enough. ”

Xiao Fan explained a few words.

"What will happen?"

"Aside from suppressing my sixth sense and the power of the Xuanwu Armor's senses, I haven't noticed any other anomalies yet. But I guess the closer you get to the center, the more complicated it becomes. And in the entire basement, there should be more than a few traps, maybe there are much more powerful traps...... It's no wonder that Yanagi chose to come here. ”

The more traps there are, the more helpers Yagyu has. As long as Xiao Fan and Xin Lin are careless and fall into one of the organs, they will be in big trouble.

Xin Lin said coldly: "The more this is the case, the more you have to find out this guy." Otherwise, he will always be entangled in the future, which will be a big trouble. ”

"That's what happened."

Xiao Fan nodded yes.

Unlike the previous hall, this time, there are only two roads behind the hall. The guidance given by Xuanwu armor became more and more ambiguous. Heilin hesitated for a moment between the two passages, and then jumped into the passage on the right.

Xiao Fan and Xin Lin followed.

It was at this time that the mutation began to take place.

I only heard a sound of "Zaza", Hei Lin "meowed", and suddenly shot towards the way he came, and when Xiao Fan and Xin Lin turned their heads, they only saw a heavy stone gate sinking suddenly, Hei Lin was small and fast, and before the stone door closed, it was able to shoot out.

"Boom!"

The stone gate slammed down, sealing the corridor in an instant. (To be continued......)
