029 Golden Palace (2)
The wall swirled slightly, and when it was halfway through, it stopped rotating, revealing an entrance that could only pass through one person.
"Wow, it's really open, you're so smart." Jimmy looked at Tuoba in amazement, "Turns out, 'one, two, three' refers to this. ”
Tuoba Yan didn't seem particularly excited, he complained, "Why didn't my father explain it clearly, and let me figure it out for myself." ”
"Maybe it's testing you, or maybe it's telling you when you're thinking about passing the throne." Jimmy said.
When Tuoba heard this, his face suddenly pulled down. Poor his father Khan, before he died, he could not hand over the throne of Khan to his desired heir, nor did he have time to tell the secrets of the Tuoba Golden Palace.
So abrupt, so sudden, that he didn't even have time to leave a word for his son.
Tuoba Yan's heart is heavy, and it seems that everything in the future will be up to him to figure it out.
"What's inside?" Jimmy ran to the wall and looked inside, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"Let's go." Tuoba greeted Jimmy, "Let's go in and see, don't you know." ”
"Huh? Can I too? Jimmy pointed to himself, "I'm just a little slave girl, and this is your Tuoba's treasure house." ”
"You know all the formulas and the mechanism, and now you're telling me this?" Tuoba Yan rolled his eyes, he and Jimmy had grown up together, everyone knew everything, and he didn't think about guarding against her.
Jimmy said he wouldn't go in, but he wanted to see it. Hearing Tuoba Yan say this, he turned around and walked into the secret passage without any scruples.
Tuoba Yan found a candle, lit it, and followed in.
There was a long and dark passage inside, and Tuoba Yan walked in front with a candle, and Jimmy tugged on to Tuoba Yan tightly, trembling a little in his heart. It was so dark, so quiet, that I could hear my own rapid breathing.
Suddenly, Tuoba stopped, and Jimmy hit him without paying attention, screaming in fright, "Ah! ”
"What's the name of the ghost?" Tuoba Yan looked at his feet, "There are steps here, be careful." ”
"Steps?" Jimmy remembered the ballad, "One, two, three, the door opens, and there are steps." It seems that this is the step in the ballad. ”
"yes." Tuoba Yan took Jimmy by the hand and carefully descended the steps, saying as he walked, "I just don't know what 'eight-eight-eight' means." ”
Soon, however, they found out. When they finished the steps, they were on a large empty platform deep underground, and here, there were actually eight black holes.
And there is a strange pattern drawn in the middle of the ground, and there are words written next to it. Jimmy studied for a long time and felt that it was like the Chinese characters of the Central Plains, and she couldn't understand them.
"There are so many holes, and they all look exactly the same, which one is the right one to take?" Jimmy said he was faint.
"Eighty-eighty-eight, eight crossings, facing north, choose the center." Tuoba Yan recited the mantra and discerned the direction, "This is the north, you should go through that gate." ”
"You...... Are you sure? Do you want to try it first? Jimmy said, picking up a rock and throwing it inside, only to hear the stone roll a few times without triggering any mechanism.
"Only you can't tell the difference between east and west." Tuoba smiled sarcastically, "Follow me, no problem." ”
Sure enough, after choosing the right path, it didn't take long for them to see several large boxes stacked in the secret passage. Seeing that it was full of gold, silver and jade, Jimmy's eyes lit up. And Tuoba Yan finally knew where the money his father used to equip Qingyun Iron Guard came from.
"Let's go." Tuoba Yan pulled Jimmy, whose eyes were shining, looked at the two forks on the left and right, and decisively chose the right one.
"When you encounter a fork in the road, keep to the right, and when you encounter a slope, don't go." Jimmy recited the mantra in his mouth and said to Tuoba Yan, "The mantra behind it is so simple, let's get to the exit." ”
"Yes, let's hurry up." Tuoba was walking on a straight path, and when they finally reached the end, they found that it was a wall.
"Take the straight, go to the end, look up, there is a way out." Tuoba looked up and saw rattan hanging from above. He said in his heart, is it up to him?
"Jimmy, are you okay with light work?"
"It's fine." Jimmy looked up, "I can go up to this height." ”
With the help of rattan, the two flew up in a few steps. Then I lifted the plank and found that it was an abandoned ranch. And the exit, in the stables.
Good thing it's remote and there are no people. Tuoba Yan and Jimmy came up to cover up the exit, and they looked around curiously, and found that they had actually left Danyang City.
"I'm finally out." Tuoba Yan looked at the long-lost sky, and rolled on the spot excitedly, he was about to suffocate in the Golden Palace.
"It seems that this secret passage is used for escape." Jimmy said thoughtfully, "Then in the future, we can often come out of the secret passages to play?" ”
"It's a good idea, but I prefer to walk out of the gate with dignity." Tuoba Yan looked at the sky, it was almost noon, "We don't have much time, we have to hurry up and get down to business." ”
"Oh yes, and business." Jimmy was so shocked by the secret passage that he almost forgot what they were coming out for.
"There are guards at the city gate, how can we enter Danyang City?" Jimmy asked.
Tuoba thought for a moment, pulled Jimmy and smeared some dirt on her face, and then made a little mud monkey himself, "We disguised ourselves, they saw us as children and wouldn't ask." ”
Sure enough, although the guards at the city gate were the troops of the Black Rock Division, they did not guard them strictly, and the ordinary herdsmen and children were let in without asking. Tuoba Yan and Jimmy lowered their heads, mixed with the crowd, and smoothly entered Danyang City. Mozang Kedun only cared about guarding the Golden Palace, and it was estimated that she would never have imagined that her son would come in from outside Danyang City.
Tuoba Yan wanted to ask his companions for help, but when he and Jimmy arrived near the tents of Alam and Abtai, they found that there were many soldiers of Black Rock outside, wandering aimlessly around the tents, and it seemed that even the companions were controlled by Mozang Kotun.
"Probably spying on them." Tuoba Yan clenched his fists, "Damn, we can't get by, otherwise we will be exposed." ”
"What then?" Jimmy asked worriedly.
"It seems that I can't count on the companions." Tuoba said.
"So who are we looking for? Go to General Kutulu, or General Guo Erhe? Jimmy suggested.
"No, no. I don't know them well. Tuoba Yan thought about it for a long time, and found that there was no one available around him. Mozang Kodun had blocked all his way out, and he was like a trapped beast, helpless.
"Wait, there's another person, he might have a way." Tuoba suddenly remembered a person, a man he thought he hated to death.
"Which warrior is it?" Jimmy was very curious and hurriedly asked, "Can you beat those guards?" Better than Abutai's martial arts? ”
Tuoba scratched his head in embarrassment, "Uh, he'...... No martial arts. ”
Jimmy: "......"
