When Yuesheng and the three of the Three Highnesses came to the Daode Tianzun Palace, Wuji and General Qin, who saw them on the top of the mountain that day, also came to the pool, and when they saw the arrival of the Three Highnesses, the two hurriedly stepped forward to meet them.

Then His Royal Highness introduced Yuesheng to the two, and briefly told the two about being rescued by Yuesheng when they were attacked that night.

Then he turned around and pointed at the two of them and said to Yuesheng: "This is my best friend Brother Sun Wuji, this is the mighty and domineering General Qin Qiong who dares to take the head of the general in the army of ten thousand." ”

That Wuji looked at Yuesheng and sighed: "Yuesheng's little brother is outstanding, wise and intelligent, and his magic skills are world-famous, and he is really a young hero." ”

That General Qin was overjoyed to see the hunt, and he had the feeling that the hero wanted to see the night, patted Yuesheng's shoulder like thunder, and said loudly: "Little brother, I, Qin Qiong, haven't fought well with anyone for many years, how about we fight three hundred rounds another day?" ”

Yuesheng liked Qin Qiong's rough and heroic character very much, and immediately agreed with a smile. Then the three of them came to the pool, and listened to the captain of the guard here report the situation of the pool, only to see that the pool had dried up at this time, and the water flowing from behind the rockery flowed down the big hole to the bottom of the hole.

"Report to Your Highness, after the ground moved, I went into the courtyard to check the loss of the main hall, the main hall was not damaged at all, only the walls on both sides of the mountain stone were a little loose, but the sound of the pool was particularly loud, so I went to the pool to check, and I saw that there was a big hole in the bottom of the pool, and the water formed a whirlpool to flow into the hole, and after a while, the pool water dried up, and finally took a look at the pool, the underground of this cave seemed to be extremely wide, and the cave wall had traces of artificial construction. The last general suspects that there is a dungeon down there. Therefore, the last general did not act rashly, and sent someone to ask His Majesty how to deal with it! ”

The man respectfully reported to the Third Highness, while the Third Highness, Yuesheng carefully observed the bottom of the lake, while listening to the report of the team leader, the Third Highness nodded to the team leader.

Then he commanded: "Send for a torch, tie your body with ropes, and go down to the cave to see." ”

The captain of the squad went to prepare, and then arranged for a relatively thin guard to tie one end of the rope to his body, and the other end was pulled by several guards, holding torches, and went down to the hole.

Not long after the guard went down, he heard an "ah" sound from under the cave, and everyone's roles changed in an instant, and they all wondered if the person was in any danger!

The squad leader hurriedly ran to the cave and shouted, "Little Liuzi, what's the situation below?" I didn't answer, but I could still see that the torches below were still lit.

"Little Liuzi! Little Liuzi! Pull the rope, fast. The squad leader shouted twice, but no one answered, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to pull the rope.

When everyone pulled the guard up, they saw that the thin guard Xiao Liuzi had passed out. I don't know what happened down there.

Everyone saw that they were just unconscious, and the hearts hanging in their hearts were relaxed, like in this ancient underground palace, they were afraid of encountering strange things below.

The captain felt that the work below was not good, and his face was not very good-looking, so he came to the Third Highness and asked him to go down to check it in person.

His Royal Highness nodded and told him to pay attention to safety, and the squad leader untied the rope and tied it to himself, holding a torch in his hand, and arranged for his subordinates to let him down. While sinking, he ordered the people to put down the ropes. Either a foot deep hole, and after a while, the squad leader was underground, and then let out an exclamation of "ah".

"Captain!"

"Captain, is there something wrong?" The guards shouted hurriedly.

"I'm fine!" After a while, the captain's voice was heard below, and after a while, the captain ordered everyone to pull him up.

When the captain of the squad came up, Yuesheng, the third highness came to the front, and the third highness asked, "What is the situation below?" ”

"Report to Your Highness, there is a lot of space at the bottom of the cave, as soon as I landed on the ground from here, I shone with a torch, and I saw a Taoist sculpture standing next to it, the sculpture was lifelike, holding a long sword in his hand, his eyes were like torches, just like a real person, his eyes just looked at me, so I was also taken aback.

It is estimated that Xiao Liuzi was frightened by him and fainted, there is a stone door behind the Taoist, which is closed, and the situation behind the door is unknown."

When the Third Highness heard this, he was instantly interested, so he ordered the guards to tie a rope to him, and he wanted to go down to investigate and investigate in person.

Next to him, General Qin Qiong and Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly came to the front and said to the Third Highness: "The situation below is unknown, how can Your Highness's daughter go to the dangerous place in person, let Zai Xia and General Qin go down and have a look!" His Royal Highness waved his hand and said with a smile: "I led the troops to fight, that time I didn't take the lead and spy on the military situation, that time I didn't check it personally!" A small underground palace is not so dangerous. After speaking, he didn't listen to the persuasion of the two, and wanted to force it down. That Qin Qiong, the eldest grandson Wuji's face turned red in a hurry, but he didn't know how to stop it.

Yuesheng saw everything in his eyes, in fact, he really wanted to be the first to go down, but this was the territory of the Third Highness, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he had been watching silently without speaking, and now seeing this opportunity, he said to the Third Highness:

"Your Highness, the generals of the three armies do not think about advancing, thinking about retreating first, and they can't put themselves in danger, the situation below is unknown, in case this underground palace is in disrepair, and it has been soaked in water for a long time, it is not strong, what if you go down and collapse?

Let me go down with General Qin to have a look first, determine the specific situation, and when everything is clear, it will not be too late for you to go down and see. ”

Seeing that Yuesheng was also so dissuaded, the Third Highness no longer insisted at the moment, and said to Yuesheng: "That can let the little brother explore himself, I have a lot of people here." ”

Yuesheng said to the Third Highness: "Since I said to go down with General Qin, there must be my reasons:

First, here, I'm afraid no one can compare with me and General Qin, even if there is danger, we can deal with it calmly!

Second, the stone gate at the bottom is estimated to be not light, and it can only be opened if General Qin and I go down. I'll tell Your Highness when I'm going to open it, how about it?" ”

"Then little brother, you must be careful, if there is danger, come up first, don't force yourself." The Third Highness looked at Yuesheng, and Qin Qiong said.

"Well, okay! Then we're going down! After saying that, Yuesheng tied the rope to his body, jumped down the hole with the torch, and Qin Qiong also jumped down after him.

When the two of them went down to the bottom, they shone it with torches, and the ground was covered with stones, which was quite neat, and the water flowed down from the mouth of the cave, and flowed down the root of the wall to the front of the hole, and the empty mouth was the size of a human head, and the cave was deep and secluded, and I did not know where the water flowed.

In front of Yuesheng, sure enough, there was a statue of a person, holding a long sword in his hand, staring at Yuesheng with sharp eyes, giving people a creepy feeling.

Yuesheng stared at the Taoist for a long time, the statue was carved from stone, the whole body was painted, lifelike, but the long sword in his hand was a copper sword, glowing patina. It's as if it could stab someone in the chest at any moment.

Behind the Taoist is a stone wall, there is a stone gate in the middle of the stone wall, the stone gate looks very heavy, the left and right are fixed with stone troughs and stone pillars. Yuesheng and Qin Qiong stepped forward and looked along the stone gate, but they didn't find any mechanism to open the stone gate.

The two of them first pushed the stone door with their hands, but the stone door did not move, so they added more force, but the stone gate still did not respond. In the end, the two of them pushed the door with all their strength. There was still no movement.

"It seems that there must be a mechanism behind this stone door, with the strength of nearly a thousand catties of you and me, this door will be opened a long time ago!" Yuesheng said to Qin Qiong.

"Little brother, how do you think you can get it now? If it doesn't work, I'll go back and find two axes and smash them little by little. Qin Qiong said.

"That's not necessary, since it's a door, it must be for people to enter and exit, but we haven't found the mechanism to open the door yet!" After speaking, he carefully took the torch and looked around, only to see that the entire stone wall was made of large stones.

Yuesheng rubbed and pushed and kneaded the entire stone wall and floor, so that it was either half an hour or nothing. At this time, the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji's inquiry came from above, and Qin Qiong told the above loudly about the situation here at the entrance of the cave.

Yuesheng also turned around to look at the entrance of the cave, and finally fixed his eyes on the statue at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother Qin, come here, let's turn it and try!" The two of them worked together to turn the statue.

Unexpectedly, with a slight force, the two of them turned the statue up, and when the statue turned from the front to the back, they only heard the door "squeak, squeak" and opened it back!

"Be careful!" As soon as the door opened, there was a dense rain of arrows shot out, Yuesheng's eyes were good, he had been paying attention to the movement behind the door, and he also paid attention to the movement behind the door with his ears, and as soon as the arrow was shot, he had heard the sound of breaking wind inside. reminded Qin Qiong loudly, and then swung his knife to cut off the rain of arrows.

But Qin Qiong's side was not so lucky, although Yuesheng reminded him, Qin Qiong still couldn't completely avoid the rain of arrows that were shot, and he was hit by several arrows.

"Hide behind the statue."

Yuesheng jumped in front of Qin Qiong to block the next group of arrows for Qin Qiong. And Qin Qiong hid behind the stone statue, blocking the rain of arrows for a while, and Yuesheng also dodged and hid behind the stone statue.
