Chapter 155
Several people hurriedly ran over, and sure enough, the stone tablet was humped by a huge stone turtle.
The stone turtle is adapted to local conditions, local materials, carved on the cliff, and the stone tablet is a wordless tablet.
A few people were afraid that there would be a mechanism, so they only approached carefully, but they did not dare to rush forward to touch it.
When approaching, the light of the night pearl shines on the back of the sage, is a zigzag upward path, more than a foot wide, both sides of the cliff is towering, look down like a bottomless abyss. As long as you step over that stone monument, you can go up.
"It stands to reason that they should all have an ambush here, but why is it so quiet?" Cong Yue asked.
Before the words fell, Meishuang seemed to be stepping on something, and she was just about to lift her feet, when suddenly a string in her brain made her feet stiffen, as if she had been immobilized.
"Oh no, I'm stepping on the trap."
Several people hurriedly came over, An Riyan squatted down, the night pearl shone over, and removed the floating soil under Meishuang's feet, and sure enough, Meishuang stepped on a stone slab under her feet, and stepped into it about half a palm deep.
A few people understood at a glance, the light guarded the top, but forgot the damn feet.
Meishuang had a bitter face, "What should I do?" ”
Or An Riyan thought of a way, planning to replace Meishuang's foot with something else. Cong Fei went to find the stone, and Mei Shuang couldn't even call it.
"The slightest deviation in this force may trigger the mechanism." She screamed in a hurry.
"Then you can't settle here, can you?" An Riyan took the stone handed over by Cong Fei and was about to put it down.
"I'll go, is this reliable? How can I step on this foot with more force than a stone can shake? Meishuang was extremely puzzled.
Cong Fei and An Riyan stopped talking, and only made a while of drumming on the mechanism they stepped on, and finally let Meishuang slowly raise her feet.
Meishuang still didn't believe it, for fear that a foot would touch an inexplicable mechanism and break her bones, and finally An Riyan forcibly pulled her foot out.
Meishuang was shocked into a cold sweat and hurried onto the trail.
As long as you climb up, you can basically reach the final destination.
The zigzag path doesn't look long, but after climbing for a long time, it seems to be far from the top light.
Sitting in a slightly wide place, a few people wondered why.
It was Meishuang who found the clue, and she said, "There must be something wrong with this zigzag road." It was impossible to climb for so long, getting farther and farther away from the light. ”
When she climbed again along the zigzag road, Meishuang deliberately asked Cong Fei in front of her to hold the Night Pearl high above her head, and this time, she really found a problem.
It turned out that the zigzag road they walked turned out to be a chain of "zigzag" return roads, and they dared to detour for half a day.
And there was an upward path just above their heads, so Rao only circled in the same place, if it weren't for Meishuang's strategy, he would still be in the same place for hundreds of turns.
Several people scolded their mothers in their hearts, and after they went up, sure enough, it didn't take long for them to come to the light.
Along the trail, the terrain is flat, and the eyes are cheerful.
Two human-tall tiger-like beasts stood on both sides, staring coldly ahead, as if they were examining a visitor.
This time, a few people learned to be obedient, paying attention to the front and keeping an eye on their feet, for fear of being ambushed again. I didn't expect a qiē to be very calm.
"The calmer the place, the more dangerous it is. The beast usually stands on the side of the gates of hell, so if we go any further, we are almost going to hell. ”
Hearing Mei Shuang say this, several people tensed their strings and looked around.
The illumination range of the Night Pearl is limited, and after walking a little further, I found that this cave is very large, in the middle is a huge stone door, in the middle of the door is a protruding black skull, and below is a shield-shaped gold block, about two feet high and a foot wide, and there are nine grids on it, and there is a red gem in the middle of each grid, which shines dazzlingly under the light of the Night Pearl.
"Sure enough, it's the gates of hell." "I just don't know what's going to be inside when this door opens." ”
Mei Shuang looked carefully at the shield-shaped gold nugget inlaid in the recess, and only recently did she realize that there were still some dense small characters on the edge.
She barely looked at it, only to see that the word was as small as an ant, like a ghost drawing, and she couldn't recognize what it was.
Several people came over to take a look, and no one knew them, but Cong Fei took off a small piece of something similar to human skin from his body, squatted in front and looked at it.
This palm-sized human skin thing is also densely covered with small characters, and the font is the same as the small characters on it, but the difference is that each small character corresponds to a Chinese character around it.
Mei Shuang was surprised and delighted, and her expression gradually became solemn after carefully interpreting the small words on it.
Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind, "Okay, it's good luck, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ”
A few people turned around, and the torches lit up the space in front of them.
In front of several black-clothed people was a man in a brocade robe and a jade robe, calm and relaxed, with a silver mask covering his face.
Although the voice is slightly hoarse, the timbre cannot be changed.
Mei Shuang slowly put away the human skin sample in her hand and put it into her arms, got up from the golden shield, turned around slowly, and the corners of her lips curled, "Before I came, the emperor said that I would see you soon, but I didn't expect to see you here." ”
The person who came was obviously stunned, probably didn't expect Mei Shuang to recognize him, and couldn't help but have a sneer on the corner of his lips, "Since you can reach this place safely, I think you are still a little useful." It's just that there is no return to this place, as long as you obediently cooperate with me and work together to break this place, I will definitely allow you a lifetime of glory. ”
"Usefulness?" Meishuang repeated softly, only to feel as if something had been violently torn deep in her heart, and the pain made her a little short of breath.
Staring at the man in front of him, he went back to the past in a trance, although those days were full of ambiguity, but in those sad days, there were still heart-warming times, but for a moment, she only had "usefulness" in the eyes of the other party.
Meishuang lowered her eyes and looked at her feet, pressed the throbbing in her heart, and said lightly, "No need to cooperate, we can't get in here at all." ”
The man under the silver mask was slightly stunned, and then sneered, "How is it possible? ”
Meishuang sighed and sneered, "If you could get in, would you have waited until now?" His Royal Highness King Zhao, don't bother. ”
Hearing that it was King Zhao in front of him, the coachman brothers were all surprised, and even An Riyan had deep eyes.
was called out by Mei Shuangqing's name, Nangong Nuo sneered again, "I haven't seen you for many days, you still think about this king, it can be seen that this king didn't hurt you in vain." ”
This made Mei Shuang get goosebumps, and even a little disgusting, she replied unceremoniously, "His Royal Highness King Zhao has always been confusing in his actions, since he came here, why don't you follow the order of righteousness and light, and prefer to hurt people in the dark?" Could it be that His Royal Highness King Zhao has some unsightly actions? ”
When she said this, Mei Shuang's chest ached, who would have thought that the two people who were still together in the previous paragraph would be in such a situation when they met again, without the slightest warmth, and only hurt each other mercilessly.
Mei Shuang's words did not make Nangong Nuo angry, he glanced at Mei Shuang deeply, and the corners of his lips curled, "Needless to say, this king asks you, how can you get into this door?" ”
Meishuang shook her head, "Can't get in." ”
Nangong Nuo didn't say anything, only raised his right hand lightly.
Cong Yue, who was beside Meishuang, suddenly snorted, covered his belly with his hands and fell down.
Several people were shocked, and hurriedly helped Cong Yue up, Cong Yue was already blue and died of anger.
"You!" Cong Fei's eyes were red, he pulled out his waist knife from his body, and was about to rush towards Nangong Nuo, but he was dragged by Mei Shuang.
"Let go of me, I want to avenge my brother!" Cong Fei said hoarsely.
"Don't!" Mei Shuang hurriedly said, "We can't fight them at all, it's better to be calm, your brother definitely wants you to live, and it's not too late to settle accounts when you go out in the future." ”
Cong Fei trembled and knelt down in front of his younger brother, his shoulders shrugged and choked.
"From now on, if you say 'no' again, there will be one less person with you." The tone was cold, revealing a murderous aura.
Mei Shuang took a deep breath, stepped forward and gently closed Cong Yue's angry eyes, got up and gritted her teeth and said slowly, "This batch of treasures is not passed down before, and suddenly disappeared during the escort, but the treasure was deliberately hidden here by Gaozu, just for the needs of the country in the future." So, there's a lot of mechanism here. This is the last mechanism, and it is clearly written 'there is no return'. ”
Regarding Mei Shuang's words, Nangong Nuo didn't believe it at all, "If there is no return, then what is the point of these treasures being stored here?" ”
Mei Shuang sneered, "The instructions of the ancestors are like this, if you don't believe it, you can open it yourself and try it." ”
Nangong Nuo nodded, took a few steps closer, and said proudly, "Those words are for those outsiders, this king is a child of the royal family, so naturally the ancestor will take care of it." ”
Cong Fei had already gotten up from the ground and said angrily to Nangong Nuo, "What a royal child! Although you are the only king with a different surname in the Great Qin Kingdom, you should know how you became the king of this different surname! ”
Nangong Nuo's face under the silver mask suddenly changed color, he raised his hand and slapped it firmly on Cong Fei's face, his voice was as cold as iron, "If you commit the following crimes, you should be beheaded!" ”
Seeing that Nangong Nuo had a murderous move, she hurriedly stepped forward, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, now that the difficulties are in front of you, one less person is equivalent to one less hope, why are you so narrow-minded?" ”
Nangong Nuo turned his head and stared at Mei Shuang, "This king is narrow-minded? Well, now this king will write down his dog's life first! As long as this door is opened, the king will let him go! ”
Meishuang turned around to look at the huge stone door and turned her head, "That's what is written on this door, if you insist on opening it, if anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you." Also, His Royal Highness King Zhao, you didn't come here without any intention of going back alive, did you? ”
Nangong Nuo was silent, only looked at the shield-shaped golden lock on the stone door in front of him, and then said to Mei Shuang, "This king knows a hundred times better than you, there are many mechanisms here, and it is a hundred times more dangerous, but this king also wants to tell you that this king has a perfect plan." ”
Meishuang was speechless.
This person was too confident, and vaguely felt that it was a little different from the previous Nangong Nuo, but the voice couldn't be pretended at all.
