Chen Taidong, Qi Guan and others turned to Qian Xiuye together, not knowing what his inconsistent words meant.

What does it mean that so-called ghosts are also real? Since the so-called two words have been added, it means that it is not a real ghost, so how can it be real?

Qian Xiuye continued: "That is what the Tang family designed according to the drawings left by their ancestors, and you also know that there is a blood relationship between the Cast Iron Immortal and the Tang family. ”

At this time, the torture and others had in their minds those black figures that flickered and appeared in the town, those things that could disappear in an instant, and could appear immediately in the distance, weren't those hallucinations? Is it real? How could such a thing be made?

"In short, those things are called mechanism dolls, and they are puppets that are controlled by fixed rails and iron wire pulls." Qian Xiuye looked around carefully, "In the Tang Dynasty, there was a person named Ma Beifeng, have you heard of it?" ”

Qi Guan said: "That craftsman? ”

"He's not just a craftsman, he's made something that's amazing now. In the information left by the Tang family of the Southwest Railway, it is very clear that the person who designed and manufactured these puppets is Ma Beifeng! Qian Xiuye stood there and slowly moved a step forward, "I also suspected it at the time, because in the era where Ma Beifeng was located, the Cast Iron Immortal had died, I can only speculate that maybe it was Ma Beifeng's master or the previous generation, who knew the Cast Iron Immortal, or it could be that the Cast Iron Immortal and Ma Beifeng studied together, these are not important now, the important thing is that these puppets can be aggressive!" ”

The word aggressive came out, and everyone was shocked, because everyone had already walked to the deeper part of the palace at this time, and there were all kinds of tracks around, in other words, they had already penetrated into the encirclement and attack range of the puppet.

"Where will the agency be?" Torture asked, "Qian Xiuye, what should you know, right?" ”

Qian Xiuye shook his head and said: "At that time, when Tang Sirong and they copied that kind of puppet, it was not considered a success, because many places could not be read, and the drawings were also missing, and only part of the success was done, and they could only move according to a certain trajectory, and they could not make too complex movements." ”

As soon as Qian Xiuye finished speaking, he heard a slight sound of footsteps, and everyone immediately turned around, and when they saw He Chenxue walking step by step, Fan Meng immediately stretched out his hand to stop her from stepping forward: "Stand still, don't move!" ”

He Chenxue was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

Fan Meng pointed at He Chenxue and said in a stern tone: "You stand there, don't move, be careful if you touch the mechanism!" ”

After Fan Meng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Qian Xiuye: "Master, it's not a way for us to stand here like this, I think, either everyone withdraws and sends someone to explore the way, or just stay still and choose a few people to move on!" ”

Fan Meng became so positive at this time, which surprised everyone, of course, everyone did not see any sadness from him Fan Jun died for only an hour, and this kid acted as if nothing had happened.

Qian Xiuye didn't express his opinion, but just asked: "Fan Meng, since you said so, how about you step forward to explore the way?" ”

"Good! I'll go! Fan Meng unexpectedly agreed very happily, and then raised his head towards He Chenxue, "Chenxue, go!" ”

He Chenxue slowly stepped forward, took Fan Meng's hand, and the two walked slowly towards the front together, and when Fan Meng walked past the torture technique, he glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and there was an indescribable weird smile on his face.

The moment this smile appeared on his face, Ma Fei grabbed the wrist of the torture technique and whispered, "You must not do anything superfluous!" ”

Ma Fei's early stop did make the torture technique that originally wanted to step forward retract the steps he was about to take forward.

When Fan Meng led He Chenxue forward, Qian Xiuye also moved his steps, and suddenly Fan Meng and Qian Xiuye quickened their pace and rushed forward.

Qi Guan and the others realized that something was wrong, and were about to pull their legs to chase after them, when they heard the sound of mechanical gears turning, and then, several small domes in the palace suddenly opened, and several puppets fell out of them.

"Qian Xiuye!" Qi Guan shouted angrily, "You already know how to activate the mechanism!" ”

"Of course!" Qian Xiuye grinned, "I just said it, and I actually told you that only I can pass through here safely!" Twilight, you help me stop them! We meet at the front! ”

Mo Duqiao stood there with a gun, looking around, staring at the puppets around him who had fallen, stood in the middle of the tracks, and were still held by the iron wires around them, and did not answer Qian Xiuye's words.

Qian Xiuye stood there, looking at Qi Guan and Chen Taidong with a strange smile: "You always think that in a predicament, the enemy and I will be forced to cooperate, yes, this situation does exist, but you also have to make one thing clear, sometimes the so-called predicament may be deliberately created by the enemy, and you have no use value now." ”

Qi Guan pointed to the Modu Bridge and said, "This is the person you trust the most, and you also abandoned him?" ”

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, don't you know this truth?" Qian Xiuye smiled, "Besides, you ask Mo Duqiao, is he willing to give his life for me?" ”

Qi Guan and Chen Taidong looked at Mo Du Bridge, Mo Du Bridge turned to Qian Xiuye, and said word for word: "Master, you go first, here I am!" ”

Qian Xiuye smiled and slowly retreated to the back, pointing to the front and said, "Fan Meng, let's go!" ”

Qian Xiuye took Fan Meng away, but he didn't bring Mo Dusk Bridge, which made everyone even more surprised, how could Qian Xiuye trust a hypocrite like Fan Meng? What exactly is he going to do?

At the moment when Qian Xiuye left, the puppets around him also waved their arms and rushed over.

Torture led Ma Fei to hide behind one of the iron pillars, avoiding the first round of attacks, and the others dodged as well.

Those figures were all wearing armor, and under the helmet on the top of their heads were obviously human skeletons, and their upper bodies were covered with silver-white chain mail, and their arms were equipped with swords, but they were empty from the waist down, if it weren't for Qian Xiuye's previous explanation, otherwise, these things would suddenly fall from the sky, and it would definitely make people mistakenly think that those were the undead guards guarding this underground palace.

"Torture! Go chase the money and study! Don't let him get a head start! Qi Guan shouted there.

Holding Muffy's hand, the torturer rushed forward, and just as he was about to rush to the next stigma, a mechanical puppet slipped from above the stigma and slashed head-on with the long knife of his left arm.

The torture technique pushed Ma Fei away, dodging the blow, and at the same time said, "Go around!" ”

The two of them walked around the sides of the column head one on the left and one on the right, and at the same time the torture technique took out the incendiary stick, pulled it open and threw it forward, illuminating the road ahead, and ran a few more steps, took Ma Fei's hand, and rushed straight over.

In the rear, Mo Dusk Bridge and the two mercenaries shot while dodging the attacking puppets, but those puppets were not living creatures, had no thoughts, were not afraid of firepower at all, and just blindly rushed forward.

In this case, Mo Duqiao and the others had no choice but to fight and retreat, constantly changing positions under the surrounding stigmas.

The worst ones are Qi Guan, Chen Taidong, Yan Gang and others, they only have cold weapons, and under the premise that there is no way, they can only use the mountain knife and mountaineering pickaxe in their hands to block the attacks of those dolls.

"Bang Dang" After Yan Gang blocked the attack of one of the puppets, the mountaineering pickaxe in his hand was shaken off, and he covered his wrist and said, "The power of these things is too great, don't hit it hard!" ”

Qi Guan and Chen Taidong carefully looked at the surrounding tracks, and then, Chen Taidong found something and shouted: "These things can only move along the fixed track, let's try not to stand on the top of the track!" ”

Although it sounds simple, in the whole palace, the tracks everywhere are intersecting, whether it is the ground, or the top, or above the capital, there are all those tracks that allow the puppets to "walk", and those puppets do not attack when they are close, but constantly wave the weapons in their hands at any time after activation, even if there is a chance to slash one or two, but they can't do much damage to these things.

At the same time, in the process of dodging, Qian Xiuye and He Chenxue also saw Qian Xiuye leading Fan Meng and He Chenxue to stand still, and sometimes suddenly take a step forward, the pace was particularly strange, but although it was weird, Qian Xiuye accurately avoided the attacking puppets one by one, and even passed by the puppets several times without being attacked.

The torture technique remembered something, picked up the walkie-talkie and called Qi Guan: "Uncle Qi, pay attention to find the law, these puppets are moving according to the track, after all, they are machines, and they will definitely move forward according to a specific law!" ”

Qi Guan and the others, who were still a little flustered, gradually calmed down when they heard the words of the torture technique, and watched these puppets while dodging.

Qi Guan took out two glow sticks and handed one to Chen Taidong: "Taidong, let's each choose a puppet, and when they pounce, plug in the glow sticks, and then pay attention to their movements!" ”

Chen Taidong nodded, clenched the glow stick, then threw himself sideways, inserted the glow stick into the neck of one of the puppets, and then turned around, Qi Guan had already succeeded and inserted the glow stick.

The two rendezvous, and begin to keep an eye out for the glowstick's movement in the dark.

Chen Fang, Yan Gang, Bai Zhongzheng and Yuan Zhen were struggling to dodge not far away, they all knew very well that if they continued like this, sooner or later they would run out of physical strength and be hacked to death, they were people, those things were machinery, and machinery could continue to operate as long as the power existed and its own parts were not damaged.

On the side of the Twilight Bridge, together with two mercenaries, they finally smashed the two puppets with extremely strong firepower.

Murwilight changed his magazine: "Fire at their shoulder joints, as long as the arm is broken, they are no longer a threat if they are out of arms!" ”

One of the mercenaries touched the multi-functional armed belt on his body, shook his head, and said, "Boss, I only have two magazines left!" ”

Murwilight turned to the other, "How many do you have left?" ”

Another gritted his teeth and said, "I only have one magazine!" ”

Murwilight stepped back, "I still have two and a half!" Grenade! No way! Blow up the track with a grenade! ”

After Murwilight finished speaking, both mercenaries took out the remaining grenades, stuffed them into the rails on the ground, stuffed one, and then ran behind the column head, probed out and shot the grenade with bullets.

The mercenaries who thought that this would stop the puppets from moving forward, were surprised to find that even though the track was blown up, the puppets continued to follow that trajectory.

In the distance, Qi Guan, who was hiding behind the column head and had just avoided the explosive grenade, shouted: "Are you blind? Those things have pull strings on them! It's a wire! Even if the track is blown up, they will still follow the original trajectory! ”

Yan Gang squatted on the ground, looking left and right, and then shouted at the Mo Dusk Bridge, "Grenade!" Give me one! Hurry up! ”

Mo Duqiao hesitated, but still took a grenade and threw it to Yan Gang, after Yan Gang took the grenade, he rushed straight towards a certain puppet, and when he rushed to it, he suddenly leaned over and hung the grenade directly on the edge of the chain mail.

After Yan Gang hung up, he rolled to the side, then got up and rushed to the iron pillar on the side: "Shoot that grenade!" ”

Inkwilight Bridge aimed his gun at the puppet that was walking into the darkness, aiming the grenade on its chain mail, and pulled the trigger the moment it intersected with another puppet.

The moment the bullet hit the grenade, the grenade exploded, and the two puppets were instantly shattered.

Yan Gang leaned behind the column head and shouted, "See no, this is effective!" ”

When Chen Fangzheng was about to speak, he found that a puppet rushed down above his head, and immediately pushed Yan Gang away, but he was stabbed in the arm, covering his arm and running to the other side: "This is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause!" ”

At this moment, everyone noticed that the dome was opened again, and another batch of puppets fell from the sky.

"! How many of these things are there! Ink Twilight Bridge stepped forward and pointed his gun at the puppets that were gradually lowering above, "Concentrate your firepower, and count a few if you can kill a few!" ”

Murwilight and two mercenaries opened fire on the nearest dome with their guns, and after breaking four, the bullets finally ran out, so they had to throw away their assault rifles and pull out their pistols.

Lian Jiuqi, who was the calmest, stared at the two puppets with glow sticks in the dark, and suddenly said: "I know the rules, everyone is around, follow me, hurry up!" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately walked towards Lian Jiuqi, and at the same time heard Lian Jiuqi say: "The starting point of each puppet is the dome, and after landing, it will leave one along the track every 5 seconds, and we can act in this 5-second gap, and then they will be dragged along the track by the pull line to the nearest iron pillar, and then slide down, and then rush along the track to the position of the next iron pillar, and then return." ”

Lian Jiuqi said, and looked at the four iron pillars around him: "Under each dome, there are four supporting iron pillars, and each group of puppets will walk around the four iron pillars like this, and finally return to their original positions and start again!" This is the law, we don't want to mess around, just grab the gap and rush out one by one! ”

Lian Jiuqi's words were like a stimulant, so that everyone saw the hope of survival, and at the same time, the torture technique and Ma Fei, who were chasing Qian Xiuye in front, also caught the same law and began to move slowly from dome to dome to dome.

But Qian Xiuye, who was at the forefront, had already known the law of this mechanism from Tang Sirong, so he walked the most easily, and soon came to the end of the palace.

At the end of the palace sat a huge iron chair, on which sat a beautiful woman who looked almost indistinguishable from a living person, but the clothes she wore had been reduced to ashes by time, and only the iron armor worn inside remained.

"Prophet" Qian Xiuye slowly stepped forward, walked to the steps under the throne, and then knelt down and began to kowtow heavily.

Seeing this, Fan Meng immediately dragged He Chenxue to follow suit.

After Qian Xiuye kowtowed, he got up, and at the same time, he found that the patterns on the cast iron door before also appeared on the stairs, and the same as the cast iron door, those patterns also had Persian numeral numbers on them, which were also raised.

Qian Xiuye pondered for a while, raised his eyes to look at the woman sitting on the throne, and found that there were three objects on the woman's body, especially the necklace on the neck that looked almost exactly the same as the heart, and the key on his right hand that was about the size of his palm, and the black cast iron scepter that he held tightly in his left hand.

Qian Xiuye motioned to Fan Meng and He Chenxue not to move, bypassed the patterns protruding from the stairs, walked to the throne, looked at it carefully, and said to himself: "This must be the holy relic representing the three miracles, this heart-shaped necklace represents the mind reading technique, the cast iron scepter has gold on the top, it should be used to turn iron into gold, this key ......"

Qian Xiuye's main concern was to come back from the dead, so he leaned over and looked carefully at the huge key on the woman's right hand: "Could it be that this key is the key to resurrection from the dead?" How can there be a key? Is there a door? ”

Fan Meng touched the palm thunder pistol in his clothes at this time, and subconsciously looked behind him to make sure that no one had caught up, so he turned his head and continued to look at Qian Xiuye.

Qian Xiuye reached out and tried to take away the key, but found that he couldn't hold it at all, and after a closer look, he found that the woman had an iron bar stretched out of her wrist and fixed the key tightly, and then looked at the scepter in her left hand, and even the necklace around her neck was fixed with an iron bar.

Fan Meng asked below, "Master, why does this woman look like a living person?" Not rotten at all? ”

Qian Xiuye looked closer: "This is not a corpse, but made of jade and some other materials, this kind of craft was called 'rebirth' in the past, both in the East and the West, it was popular for a while, but because the materials used are not easy to find, and there are fewer and fewer craftsmen who can do this kind of craft, it has been lost." ”

He Chenxue grabbed Fan Meng's hand tightly, but Fan Meng broke her fingers, motioned for her to stand still, and then looked at the raised patterns on the stairs and said, "Master, it seems that if you want to remove those things, you should and must press these patterns, I wonder, will the order be the same as the one on the cast iron door?" Because there are no other tips. ”

Qian Xiuye slowly walked down the stairs, looked at Fan Mengdao, and said, "You try to press them one by one according to the order interpreted by the previous torture technique." ”

"Good!" Fan Meng agreed without hesitation, but after responding, he immediately turned his head to look at He Chenxue beside him.
