Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Strange Mounds Chapter 36 Crossbow Arrows

Walking along the passage, he only took two steps, and Xu Yunshu, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "According to what Mr. Situ said, this gang of thieves was wiped out here, so who closed the stone door and put down the running stone?" ”

As soon as Xu Yunshu asked this, everyone's hearts were cold, and they thought of the most unwilling thing to think of......

Yes, according to Situ Feng, this group of people should not have escaped the net, so who closed the stone door and put down the tap stone? Could it be...... As soon as we thought of this, we only felt that the hairs on our bodies stood up one by one, and we couldn't help but look left and right, as if there was something else around us besides us......

The passage was quiet and scary, and no one spoke. In the originally closed and windless passage, a small wind blew from nowhere, which sent chills down our spines.

"Really...... Are there really ghosts? Finally, an intern named Han Mingming stammered out.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Jinlong scolded him, "Where are there any ghosts or monsters in this world, it is because people themselves are weak in their hearts that they are suspicious." "But it's obviously not enough confidence.

"And how do you explain that?" Han Mingming asked.

"I think the stone gate and the running stone should have been put down by the people of the village." At this time, Ma Xiwen must stabilize the morale of the army, "Although the 'Hongguang Tianyuan' regime has been eliminated, the people living here are still under the rule of Zhang Yuxiang, and there are many who are loyal to him. Therefore, after discovering that outsiders had broken into the underground palace here and died, they closed the stone gate, put down the running stone, sealed the entrance to the underground palace at the Jinluan Palace, and pressed a boulder at the mouth of the well, and at the same time spread rumors of haunting, which made people dare not approach. ”

Although Ma Xiwen's explanation makes sense, it is a bit far-fetched. No one knew about the entrance to this dragon well before we came, so why put a huge stone, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? It's easier to get the attention and guess of others. Moreover, since it is said that the stone gate was closed by the people in the village who were loyal to Zhang Yuxiang, why didn't they remove the corpses from the passage and leave them in place?

Although it can't withstand scrutiny, everyone would rather believe Ma Xiwen's statement at this time. Despite the doubts in everyone's mind, no one wants to speak them out.

We continued with a stomach full of confusion and speculation, and soon arrived at the main hall of the underground palace. To say that this underground palace is really simple, there is only one hall, and there is not even a side hall, side hall or even an ear room. But think about it, the "Hongguang Tianyuan" regime existed for a very short time, and the sphere of influence was nearby, and the manpower and resources that could be used were very scarce.

The main hall of this underground palace has a rectangular layout, and the place is very large, but there is nothing in the room, and it looks very empty. The main hall is no longer surrounded by grey brick walls - the front and rear walls are made of huge stone blocks, while the left and right sides are made of cylindrical stone pillars, which stand side by side for support and retaining soil, which may be the reason why there is not a single pillar in the main hall.

In the middle of the main hall, there are four stone lampstands about 1.78 meters high, separated by about 10 meters from each other. In the innermost part of the main hall is a stone platform on which a stone statue more than two meters high is placed. This stone statue is a sitting statue, and under it is a lotus platform, but the appearance of the stone statue does not look like Taoism, nor does it look like Buddhism, but it is somewhat similar to witchcraft.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Park Yinan took out a gas tester, tested the content of toxic and harmful gases and oxygen in the channel, and made sure that there was nothing to do, so that everyone took off their gas masks. After all, wearing such a thing, it is still a little inconvenient to do things.

After we had seen the layout of the whole hall at the doorway, we were about to step in. Especially Ma Xiwen and the interns he brought with him couldn't wait.

"Don't even move!" Before everyone could move, Situ Feng spoke out to stop everyone.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, but no one asked aloud, because they all knew that he must have a reason for saying this.

"There's a trap up ahead! Everybody back off! Situ Feng said with a serious face, "Everyone retreats into the passage!" ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly retreated into the passage and left a long distance. Situ Feng stood at the doorway, pushed the iron ball in his hand out on the ground, and then he turned around and walked back to the passage quickly. And the iron ball rolled far away, and gradually rolled towards the middle of the temple......

The jar asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you can't be too fast?" What is he doing here? ”

Xu Yunshu explained: "This shows that Situ Feng has roughly guessed that the mechanism should not be close to the door, so he must use great force. ”

"Really ......"

"Whoosh whoosh~" Before the altar could finish speaking, the four stone lampstands in the middle of the hall shot out countless crossbow arrows respectively, and the jingling sound was endless. We were at least fifty meters away from those lampstands at this time, but even so, a few crossbow bolts landed less than five meters away from us. After hundreds of years, there is still this level of power, which shows the great power of this crossbow bolt.

The bolts kept on and on, and it lasted for about ten seconds before they stopped. At this time, we looked at the hall again, and there were arrows scattered everywhere, especially in the middle of the four stone lampstands, the arrows were the most, and the iron ball also stopped at that position.

Ma Xiwen picked up a crossbow arrow and looked at it. At this time, Wang Yuesheng reminded him loudly: "Professor, be careful of the poison on the arrows!" Ma Xiwen waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm wearing gloves, don't be afraid!" He raised his arrow and said to several interns: "You see, after hundreds of years, this arrow has rusted away, but the power of this crossbow arrow is still very great, and it is easy to shoot a few people at close range, which shows that the wisdom of the ancients is indeed very great!" ”

Ma Xiwen was about to walk into the hall as he spoke, but was stopped by Situ Feng.

"What's wrong? Hasn't this crossbow bolt stopped? But before the words fell, there was another "whoosh" sound in the hall, and crossbow arrows shot out again from under the stone pedestal of the lampstand.

Ma Xiwen's face turned pale in an instant, if it hadn't been for Situ Feng to hold him, he would have walked in at this time and become a live target, and he would definitely be shot into a hedgehog by this round of crossbow arrows.

Situ Feng said lightly: "This kind of crossbow arrow mechanism is shot in batches, and there will be a certain time interval between each time and the next time, the purpose is to let the fish that slipped through the net relax their vigilance after avoiding the first round of secret calculations, and they can no longer escape the second round of offensive." ”

This time, the bolt shot lasted for a relatively short time, less than five seconds, and then stopped again. At this time, Situ Feng lined up the two dogs and Jin Daquan in front of him, and walked into the hall by himself.
