Chapter 174: King Yue's Treasure House
Hearing Wang Xu's question, Song Qian was even more excited, and his voice trembled a little: "Lord, there are glowing pearls in there, just on the top of the cave above the stone staircase, there are two of them I can see, they are big and bright, and they can barely tell the surrounding environment!" It's the first time I've seen this kind of baby when I've grown so big! ”
Wang Xu on the cliff was instantly stunned by these words, oh my God! A pearl that shines, isn't it a pearl of the night? How big is it to use the night pearl to illuminate? What's hidden inside? How can just one genre have this kind of strength, could it be...... Goujian's treasure!
Getting this conclusion, even Wang Xu's eyelids jumped fiercely, and for the first time he had a trace of greed for the treasure itself. I think that after Gou Jian destroyed the Wu State, he fought all the way to the north of the Huai River and became the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the treasure he buried so much must be extraordinary.
Faced with such a big temptation, Wang Xu hesitated for a long time, although he was still faintly afraid in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" Jia Hua went down with me, and Xu Sheng and Dian Wei stayed outside to pull the rope. ”
"Lord, this ......" Hearing this, Xu Sheng immediately wanted to stop it.
But before he could finish speaking, Wang Xu shook his head and interrupted: "It's okay, I'll go." I know a little bit about those sideways things, and if I don't go down, whoever you are down there is very dangerous. You and Dian Wei both have a lot of strength, so let's take care of the rope outside! ”
Xu Sheng and Dian Wei glanced at each other, and they also knew the truth of what Wang Xu said, so they couldn't help but sigh in frustration. Yan Ming's mouth also opened, but in the end he didn't speak, but his eyes showed deep worry.
Seeing this, Wang Xu, who was tying a tin bottle, couldn't help but smile slightly: "Yan Da Beauty, don't worry!" Last time it was an accident, this time there will be no problem, as long as you enter the hole, it is calm, and the water in the hole is only five meters away, and you will arrive in the blink of an eye. ”
"Humph! Who's worried about you anymore. Yan Ming suddenly pursed his lips and turned his head dissatisfied.
"Just don't worry! Hehe! With a smile, Wang Xu didn't have time to mess with Yan Ming. After checking again with Jia Hua, he told Xu Sheng and Dian Wei: "Remember, if we go up the stone ladder later, we will pull the rope five times before untying it, no matter which rope is pulled, then it means that everyone has landed on the shore." If it is three times, it means that there is an accident, so quickly collect the rope. If we were to come back from the treasure search, we would also jerk it five times. Don't be mistaken! ”
"Put it down! Boss, I remember this kind of thing very well. Pawn Wei immediately patted his chest and reassured.
Xu Sheng also nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, the lord will never go wrong!" ”
"Hmm!" Seeing this, Wang Xu didn't say much, and walked to the side of the cliff with Jia Hua. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Let's go!" ”
As Dian Wei and Xu Sheng slowly lowered the rope, Wang Xu and Jia Hua fell into the water with agility. After quickly putting on the ring mask connected to the tin air bottle on his back, he nodded to each other with Song Qian, who was still soaking in the water, and plunged into the water at the same time.
With Song Qian leading the way, Wang Xu and Jia Hua easily entered the underwater stone cave. Looking at the entrance of the cave that is now calm, thinking about the scene of being hit by a powerful undercurrent here a few days ago, Wang Xu's heart is still a little panicked. But as he observed, his attention was soon drawn to the layout of the cave floor. Because it is still on the edge of the cave at the moment, and the cave itself is only less than half a meter underwater, and the bottom of the cave is only more than two meters above the water, the sunlight can barely shine through the surface of the lake. This also allowed Wang Xu to barely see some things at the bottom of the cave, but after a little analysis, he suddenly laughed.
However, he didn't waste much time, waved his hand at Song Qian and Jia Hua, who were puzzled, and several people dived into the cave again. There was no accident this time, and a few people swam forward with all their might, and they arrived at the mouth of the stone ladder without a few strokes of their hands and feet. Because it was pitch black at the moment, and Song Qian was in the front again, when he stopped, Wang Xu and Jia Hua suddenly bumped into him. However, the two of them reacted quickly, and immediately understood, and swam upward.
"Poof!" "Poof!" With three splashes of water in succession, the heads of Wang Xu and the three finally came out of the water.
After exhaling a few deeply, Song Qian pointed to the stone steps in front of him and said, "Lord, this is it, and I don't know where it leads!" ”
"Hmm!" Responding casually, Wang Xu floated over slightly, observed a little, and carefully stepped on the stone steps, and after making sure that there was no problem, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go up the stone ladder!" ”
Song Qian and Jia Hua were also very excited at the moment, and when they swam over and sat on the stone steps, they quickly unloaded the rope and tin air cylinder on their bodies. However, Song Qian seemed to remember what Wang Xu hesitated at the entrance of the cave just now, and couldn't help but ask, "Lord, what were you looking at just now?" Is there anything at the bottom of the cave? ”
"Huh! It's something. Smiling slightly, Wang Xu's eyes were still observing the surroundings, but his mouth replied casually: "Actually, there is a Five Elements and Nine Palaces array there, I took a look at it slightly, it's quite complicated, it's the Great Nine Palaces!" If it weren't for the water that allowed us to swim from above, it would have taken a lot of trouble. ”
"My lord! What is the Nine Palace Array? Song Qian suddenly asked strangely.
"Huh! It should be regarded as a combination of magic and five elements gossip, and it is also a derivative use of gossip, or it can also be said to be an extremely complex digital mobile game, but if you play it wrong, you will die. As he spoke, Wang Xu smiled, withdrew his gaze from looking around, and didn't say much about the formation. Then he sighed: "The structure here is really peculiar, the rock is polished very well, and the inlaid night pearl is also very bright, and it can already make people vaguely see the cave wall, which should be considered very pure and advanced!" It's a pity that I don't understand this aspect, and I can't tell the good from the bad. ”
"I think there must be some rare treasure hidden here!" Hearing this, Jia Hua also took over the words.
"Huh! I guess so! I'm not interested in this night's pearl, if any of you want it in a while, I'll pry it yourself! As he spoke, Wang Xu glanced at the stone ladder, then turned his head and said, "Song Qian, give me your harpoon for exploration, and I will use it to test the mechanism!" ”
Hearing this, Song Qian's eyes suddenly widened, and he held the harpoon tightly and said, "Then where can I do it!" In this world, if there is a lord in front of him, but the courtiers are staying behind, let me explore! ”
In fact, Wang Xu didn't know much about the organ, and seeing Song Qian's insistence, he didn't fight anymore, anyway, whoever went had the same effect.
The three of them walked slowly along the stone staircase towards the depths, and because Song Qian was at the front, they were even more nervous, carefully using harpoons to continue probing. I have to say that the owner of this treasure is really ruthless, and the stone ladder of five or six meters actually dug two mechanisms. The first one was a collapsed hole, which Song Qian hadn't found before, and there was nothing wrong with poking it down with a harpoon, even if he had to walk over it. Fortunately, Wang Xu learned a trick from Dian Wei last time to listen to the voice, so when he heard "Knock knock!" quickly grabbed Song Qian and pulled it back. Then he snatched the harpoon and stabbed it down vigorously. I only heard a loud "click", and a large hole was torn in the middle of the entire stone staircase. Underneath are rows of bronze spikes that have been embroidered to perfection. Only where the stone staircase is next to the wall on both sides, there is a road that allows one person to pass through guò.
And the second trap is even more clever, when the three of them looked at the rusty bronze spikes in the cave with palpitations, and slowly continued to go up from the far left of the stone staircase, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Song Qian's left foot didn't know what to step on, "Click! "The ground sank four or five centimeters with a bang. Immediately, I heard the sound of stones rubbing against the ground, and a stone axe suddenly flew over from the crack in the opposite wall.
Fortunately, Song Qian's martial arts were not weak, and his reaction was very fast, and he kicked him in a hurry with Wang Xu, so he narrowly avoided it. The big stone axe was still dangling from side to side in the air, and it turned out that it was hanging from the top.
But that's just the beginning, as you step out of the stone staircase and into a flat passage, traps emerge one after another. I don't know what is hidden in this hellish place, so well protected. One moment it was a bronze spear that flew out, another moment was an inexplicable crossbow array, another moment was a falling rock, anyway, there was a mess of everything. Fortunately, all of these traps have a common flaw, which is that they are a bit slow to react.
Not to mention those who have been discovered and avoided, the kind of mechanism that has not been discovered has not caused harm because of this. Perhaps because of hundreds of years of change, many of these mechanisms have been decayed, and although they still have great lethality, they can always make a loud noise when activated, such as dust falling and debris splashing, which can always give time to react. If it weren't for the observation of this flaw, plus everyone's martial arts are not bad, Wang Xu probably wouldn't have dared to go all the way down like this.
Anyway, after a long time, Wang Xu came to the end of the passage. It's not that the passage is long, and it adds up to only about 200 meters. It's just that the traps are one after another, and they are quite dim, so everyone walks slower than turtles. After all, no matter how bright the night pearls are, they are limited, and there are only more than twenty in total.
Also, the passage is not a straight line, it feels like going in circles. When Wang Xu walked to the stone gate at the end of the passage, he always felt that he should be in the middle of a hillside near the cliff. However, he was not interested in understanding this, so he carefully looked at the stone door in front of him, and tapped it with a harpoon for a long time, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, he reached out to investigate. "Song Qian, Jia Hua, where do you think the mechanism where the stone gate is opened?"
"I don't know!" The two shook their heads dryly, and the two of them had something to say at first, but as the traps of the collision became more and more, they no longer expressed any opinions in the end.
"Then look for it! See if there's anything different around the stone gate. After a pause, Wang Xu couldn't help but answer: "You can be careful, don't hit the trap again." ”
As soon as the words fell, I didn't know what Song Qian had touched, and the two sides of the stone cave suddenly let out a "click!" Click! Voice.
"Not good!" Wang Xu exclaimed in surprise, and almost instantly, he fell to the ground and rolled towards the road he had just walked. Song Qian and Jia Hua were also not slow, they lay down directly without saying a word, and then rolled over......
"Whoosh! Sou! Search! There was a sound of breaking wind, and at least thirty crossbow bolts crossed in front of the gate.
Lying on the ground and waiting for a long time, he felt that there should be no more, so Wang Xu stood up and complained: "Song Qian, you are ...... again"
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of dust falling again, and immediately threw himself on the ground in fright. Sure enough, almost at the same moment when he lay down, more than a dozen arrows were shot.
This time, Wang Xu didn't dare to get up again, so he just lay on the ground and looked at Song Qian and said, "What did you touch, why did you make such a big move?" ”
"Didn't my lord ask me to find the door opener? I felt something in the corner and thought it was a mechanism to open the door, but it ended up like this as soon as I took it away. ”
"Oh? What is it? Wang Xu suddenly wondered.
Song Qian shook his head: "I don't know, the light is too dim to see clearly!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu was slightly condensed, and immediately looked at the road and said, "Let's go, let's climb over there and use your harpoon to pry down the night pearl to illuminate it." We've stepped on all the traps there, so there shouldn't be any danger. ”
"Hmmm! Good. Song Qian nodded suddenly.
After climbing out of the dangerous area outside the stone gate, Song Qian stepped on Jia Hua's shoulder and pried up the beads. The main reason is that the roof of the cave near this stone gate is a little high, and if you don't do this, your hand can't reach the top of the cave, and it's not easy to operate.
But Song Qian's craftsmanship is really not flattering, and he can pry it very quickly, but when he gets it in Wang Xu's hands, he only has a large half of it, and a small half of it is still inlaid on the roof of the cave......
Although he was extremely speechless about Song Qian's methods, it was not the time to care about these at this moment, and sighed for this precious pearl of the night, and Wang Xu climbed back to the front of the stone gate. Shine a light light with the night pearl and carefully study the mechanism.
"Huh? Another gossip agency. It's just that it seems to be a little different, these hexagrams can not only be moved, but also seem to be able to be pressed in. Thinking that Song Qian accidentally pressed it in, so he triggered the mechanism. He muttered to himself for a long time, but Wang Xu was quite cautious, watching the organ carefully consider it for a long time before arranging it according to Fuxi's innate gossip.
However, his luck this time was good, and with the restoration of the hexagram, the sound of "boom" suddenly sounded. With a splash of dust and rubble, the heavy stone door finally slowly opened.
Seeing this, Wang Xu was also overjoyed. As expected, the entrance of the cave is King Wen's acquired gossip, but it is Fuxi's innate gossip, and the person who set it up is really heartfelt.
Although the three of them were very excited at this moment, no one dared to stand up, they all moved a few steps on their stomachs, and then looked inside the stone gate. But almost the moment several people cast their eyes in, they were dumbfounded at the same time......
