Chapter 143: The Mystery of the Secret Room

At this time, only a muffled sound was heard, the door of the sacrificial temple was knocked open, and the Wu soldiers swarmed in, holding torches, illuminating every corner of the temple, but searching around found that this huge temple was empty.

Qi Luo was puzzled, so he asked, "Zhang Xun, is there any other exit from this temple?" ”

"Hehe, how do I know?"

"Don't say yes, do you? Well, I don't believe I can't find it! ”

He took Wu Bing up to the steps of the temple, he raised his head and saw that the carving of the divine phoenix on the top of his head was lifelike, and he touched his fat chin and said to himself: "Is it made of gold?" ”

Zhang Xun also raised his head to look at the exquisite carving of the Divine Phoenix, recalling what had happened these days, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I'm afraid the carving of the Yue Nu clan is about to be lost." ”

"What? Come! Tear off all the gold from above! ”

"Whoa!" Wu Bing stepped forward as ordered.

Xiao Shi turned around and said: "Xiao Xi, you said before that the Yue Nu clan is full of gold, and even the ordinary utensils at home are gold, hehe, it seems to be true." ”

The voice fell, and there was no response for a long time.

"Xiao Shi? Xiao photo? He stopped and looked for Xiao Shi with a torch, but he didn't find him.

"Where did you go? Was it still there? Scratching his head slightly, puzzled, suddenly he seemed to understand, and shouted angrily: "Oops! Xiao Shi must have gone looking for gold! Damn it! ”

The ruler led the person to the top of the steps, and the pure gold altar above the platform was shining with dazzling golden light in the firelight.

"Gold! Gold! With a small step, he hurried to the altar, and he pressed his face to the altar and kept stroking it.

Several Wu soldiers also surrounded them, and as soon as they put their hands on the altar, they scolded angrily: "Bastard thing! Who let you touch it! Get your hands off the way! It's mine! ”

The Wu soldiers reluctantly moved their hands away, but they still stared at the altar intently.

"There is gold everywhere in Yue Nu Mountain, so if you want it, you can find it yourself! Whoever grabs it counts! ”

Hearing this, the Wu soldiers were eager to try, and several Wu soldiers even sneaked out of the temple and went around looking for gold.

Xiao Luo knocked on the altar, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he turned to the Wu soldiers and said, "Brothers! Hurry up and get down to business, and then you can go and search the stockade! As long as it's valuable, you can take it all! ”

"Whoa!" The Wu soldiers cheered and were extremely excited.

He sent people to search around, but sure enough, they didn't find anything, and this temple didn't have a back door at all. The ruler was a little impatient, he paced in front of Zhang Xun, raised his foot and kicked Zhang Xun in the stomach.

"Zhang Xun! There must be a secret passage in this temple! Say it! Where's the secret passage?! ”

Zhang Xun sneered bitterly: "Ruler Boy, didn't you say you could find it?" Why do you have to ask me? ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Provincial beating! ”

"Oh, my son! How could I possibly know?! This temple is the place where the Yue women are worshipped, where is the secret passage, can you tell me? ”

After thinking about it for a while, what Zhang Xun said was not unreasonable, he walked around the altar a few times, and suddenly ordered: "You guys, come here and tear down this altar for me!" ”

"Whoa!"

Several Wu soldiers rushed to the platform and tried to use brute force to demolish the altar, Wu soldiers, you hammered, I axe, smashed and chiseled at the bottom of the altar, and it didn't take long to overturn the altar.

As soon as the altar fell, he was slightly surprised to find that there was a bunch of intricate mechanisms at the bottom of the altar, one of which was still attached to the altar.

Zhang Xun hurriedly stretched his neck to look at the mechanism under the altar, he found that many parts of those mechanisms were distorted and deformed due to brute force destruction, and he was afraid that they could no longer be used, he hoped that he could have the opportunity to learn those exquisite crafts, and now that the entire altar was destroyed by a barbaric external force, he felt strong distress and regret. However, in addition, Zhang Xun also felt a little relieved, he knew that Shuang Di and the others must be hiding in the secret room, and now that the altar was destroyed, it would be impossible for Qi Lu to open the secret room.

The ruler tilted his head slightly, staring at the intricate mechanism, as if showing some interest in the mechanism under the altar. After a while, with the mentality of giving it a try, he held the pry handle, and he pulled it down hard, but he didn't expect the pry handle to move. Ruler Luo became excited, and continued to pull the lever handle, when there was a clattering sound of metal grinding in the mechanism.

"Childe! Son! There's a secret passage here! A Wu soldier pointed to a large stone slab in the center of the platform and shouted excitedly.

"Where?!"

Ruler hurriedly ran to check, only to see a stone slab on the platform slightly warped, revealing a gap two people wide, Ruler laughed: "Haha! Sure enough, there is a secret passage! Yu Suming is down there! Fast! Go get that pry handle! ”

A Wu soldier hurriedly ran to the side of the mechanism and pulled the pry handle vigorously, but this time the pry handle did not move at all.

"You're wrenching! Hard! ”

Wu Bing blushed, tried his best to pull the pry handle, and even pressed his whole body up, but the pry handle did not move at all.

The ruler was slightly anxious, walked forward quickly, and kicked the Wu soldier away, "Idiot! I don't care about you! ”

Then, the ruler spat slightly into the palm of his hand, and then grabbed the pry handle and pulled it down hard, but the pry handle still did not move, and the whole mechanism did not make a sound at all. Qi slightly angry, kicked hard at the pry handle, and then pointed at a few Wu soldiers and shouted:

"Damn! Damn it! A few of you! Come over here and get on it with me! ”

Several Wu soldiers stood still on both sides of the pry handle, they rubbed their fists, held the pry handle together, and pulled down with all their might, but the mechanism had been damaged, and the pry handle just didn't move at all.

Seeing that the pry handle didn't move at all, the ruler thought about it for a while, and shouted to Wu Bing: "Come here!" Pry this slate directly! ”

The Wu soldiers came to the slate, lined up in a row, and inserted the weapons into the gap under the slate, and many Wu soldiers worked together, but the weapons were broken several times, and the slate did not move at all.

"Haha! Ha ha! Zhang Xun laughed.

"What are you laughing at!"

"I laugh at you stupid! This mechanism is the crystallization of the wisdom of the more woman, how ingenious, how can you destroy it with brute force? ”

"You!" Qi Luo just wanted to explode, but he smiled contemptuously and said: "Hmph, Zhang Xun, don't be complacent, I just want you to see what brute force is today!" ”

"Okay, do you need me to help you pull it together? I'm still quite energetic. ”

"Zhang Xun, just wait and see, anyway, the king said, it is best to catch those who can be caught alive, and those who can't be caught alive can be killed on the spot!"

The room was dimly lit, and the glimmer of light reflected off the hedron overhead, glowing a hint of blue.

The bodies of Su Ming and Fan Luo lay together peacefully, like a sleeping couple. Shuang Di took He Yu and the other Yue women and kowtowed three times to the body.

"Patriarch, what shall we do now?" The old man asked.

Frost thought for a moment and said, "When I first entered here, I found that the air here was very fresh, and it is said that a secret room that has been sealed for more than 200 years cannot have such fresh air. ”

The clansmen sniffed and nodded.

"So, I think there must be another exit here, we can't sit still, we have to find another exit."

"The patriarch is right!"

"Let's find out, then."

So, everyone hurriedly searched for it, but the light in the secret room was too dim, and everyone searched for a while and found nothing.

"Patriarch, I can't find it."

"Yes, patriarch, I can't see it clearly."

He Yu also said anxiously: "Sister, this can't be done, it's too dark here, and even people can't see clearly, let alone find a secret door." ”

Shuang Tu comforted everyone: "Don't worry, look for it slowly, you will definitely find it." ”

At this time, Frost saw the torches on the wall shake a little, and she had an idea, and said, "Everyone put out the torches, and then don't move." ”

"Isn't that more invisible?" The people were puzzled.

He Yu also couldn't understand Frost's intentions, but he believed that Frost had a way, so he took the lead in extinguishing the torch and said to everyone: "Trust the patriarch, she will definitely have a way!" ”

"That's right! Believe the patriarch! So the people put out the torches.

Soon, the chamber was plunged into complete darkness, and all that was left was the sound of people breathing nervously.

Suddenly, a faint flame appeared in the darkness, and the flame flickered like a hope that could be dashed at any moment. Frost took the fire fold and carefully protected the tiny flame on the fire fold, and then she slowly walked to the center of the secret room and held the fire fold high.

I saw that the flame shook a little, and soon stabilized again, but the center of the flame was always tilted, biased to the south. Frost took a few cautious steps to the north, trying to keep her arms in check, trying to keep the flames as balanced as she could. As Frost swayed, the flames shook more and more violently, and the angle of the flame center tilted became larger and larger.

Finally, when Frosty reached the north wall of the chamber, the flames were extinguished, and the chamber was once again plunged into darkness.

"The wind is coming in from here, so the exit must be around here!"

As she spoke, she lit the torches on the side, and the people lit the torches one after another. Through the bright light, people finally clearly saw that there was a jet-black disc overhead. The disc was in a symmetrical position with the hedron on the south side, and it was the same size, and there were finger-thick holes in the disk, through which the breeze blew into the chamber, renewing the air in the chamber.

"This should be the exit, brother, try to see if you can turn the disc."

"Good!"

With that, He Yu stepped on a Yue woman and climbed up, he put his finger into the hole in the disc, and then turned it hard, only to hear a crunch on the edge of the disc, and the whole disc loosened. So He Yu turned the disc vigorously, and soon the disc was unloaded, revealing a huge black hole, and the wind poured in from the hole, blowing the torch and shaking it constantly.

"Patriarch! Outlet! Outlet! The Yue Nu clan shouted excitedly.

Frost felt a hint of joy as she tiptoed up and saw that it was pitch black behind the entrance to the cave, and she couldn't see anything.

"Patriarch! Let's get out of here! ”

"That's right! Get out of here! ”

The people were talking.

Frost shook her head and said, "We don't know what's going on outside, and we don't know where this exit leads, so it might be dangerous if we rush up." ”

"Yes...... The patriarch has a point. ”

Shuang Tu grabbed Heyu's clothes and said, "Brother, you have the highest martial arts, can you go up and investigate the situation first?" ”

Heyu didn't hesitate at all, "Okay! Wait, I'll figure out where this exit leads, and then I'll pick you up! ”

"Thank you, brother!" Frost's eyes were filled with gratitude.

He Yu smiled indifferently, took Shuang Di into his arms, and whispered against her forehead: "Brother will always protect you." ”

Seeing the moon running desperately, the surrounding houses were blazing, reflecting the night sky dark red, and the smoke rising from the fire mixed with the smell of blood spread everywhere, pouring her brain into her nose, choking her cough. Seeing the moon was terrified, countless terrifying and bloody imaginations appeared in her mind, she didn't know if her people were safe, and she didn't dare to think about where her parents were now, how much she hoped that Heyu could appear in front of her, but when she looked back at the sea of fire behind her, she thought of the worst possibility.

Jianyue ran through the house into the bamboo forest to the north of the village, and the surroundings were quiet, and even the air became fresh, only the burning houses in the distance reminded her of the cruel truth. Mitsuki groped her way to the depths of the bamboo forest, and when she reached the end of the bamboo forest, she heard the sound of gurgling water, and the clear spring was trickling down the cliff and flying down on the rocks, raising a mist of water.

Seeing the moon feeling the darkness and searching carefully under the cliff, she groped for a mossy rock, and the slippery feel evoked her most free memories. It was a cave under the cliff, and the location of the cave was so hidden that even the people rarely knew about it. Sometimes, her father asked her to practice archery, and her mother asked her to learn the astrological signs, but the girl's heart was always free, and she would sneak out and hide in the cave through the bamboo forest. There was no boring homework, no parental demands, just the sound of water droplets dripping from the stalactites, ticking, ticking, like rhythmic notes singing beautiful music.

Seeing that the moon found the cave, she carefully grabbed the cliff, jumped two steps upward, and then slipped into the narrow entrance.

No matter what happened outside, it was the same place as ever, always peaceful, except for the sound of water droplets echoing in my ears. Mitsuki sat down on a boulder, curled up and buried her head deep between her knees. Now, instead of freedom, she was surrounded by a deep loneliness and fear, and she wished her parents could give her a little more harsh discipline, but she knew that it might already be a luxury.

Finally, the tears that had been suppressed all night burst out of the embankment, and the cry echoed in the cave, so heart-wrenching. Seeing that the moon was crying and her eyes were swollen, she was tired of crying, she sobbed a few times, and no longer made a sound, she sat quietly, not knowing what she was waiting for.

Just then, she suddenly heard footsteps in the empty cavern.
