Chapter Seventy-Three: Kowtow

Gao Qin and the others listened to what Master Zhou said, and they all looked at the exit opposite the main hall, which was different from the Daren Palace, more like a rectangular passage, about three meters high, four meters wide, and five meters long, and the walls were all made of huge dark stone bricks.

The exit is very smooth up and down, left and right, and there is no place to climb. Master Zhou said: "This exit is deliberate, and there must be a deadly mechanism. If you can't understand the meaning of these thirteen stone statues, after the test of this hall, no

People can live to pass. ”

Nanyang said: "What kind of organs will there be in that place?" ”

"I found that the gap between each stone brick was very deep, and I felt that the mechanism was hidden there, and if someone walked there, the mechanism would be activated," Zhou said. ”

Xu Ming said: "Let's try it and see if there is a mechanism." ”

Everyone wanted to see what kind of mechanism was at the exit, and whether they could dodge it. It's even better if there are no mechanisms. Nanyang glanced at the pillar, and the pillar immediately understood. There was also a hammer pinned to the waist of the pillar, which he removed

Hand hammer, optimistic about the distance, threw a round of arms towards the exit of the Great Hall of Righteousness.

The hammer made a long arc in the air, flipped and fell, and smashed accurately on the ground at the exit. I saw the hammer smashed on the stone brick on the ground, making a "bang" sound, and the stone brick immediately shallow intracted a little, and the hammer followed

At the same time, a cold light suddenly flashed through the gaps between all the stone bricks on the top, bottom, left, and right at the exit, and a blade like a guillotine stretched out, sealing the entire exit from all directions, without a single gap.

With a "poof", the blades disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the blades sticking out of the wall retracted and hid in the gaps between the stone bricks.

The hammer had been cut into four pieces and scattered on the ground, especially the hard metal hammer head, which had been cut into two pieces by the brush, which showed the sharpness of those blades! Then, the huge stone bricks on the ground were turned in a circle, and the pieces of the hammer were all broken

Go down.

Everyone was stunned by this mechanism, compared to the spikes in the Great Benevolence Palace, these guillotines were much more terrifying, if a person stood there, he would be cut into several pieces in a blink of an eye, and his body would be in a different place!

Nanyang's always calm face also flashed a trace of worry, the rectangular passage at the exit of this hall is five meters long, there is no place to climb, no matter what, you can't jump over.

Xu Ming's face turned pale and said, "This ghost emperor, whoever doesn't believe in his righteousness will have to be dismantled!" ”

Everyone's hearts sank, if they couldn't find a way to crack the mechanism, how could this Great Hall of Righteousness pass?

At this time, Zhou De's expression was grim and said, "I thought of it." ”

Nanyang was a little surprised and said, "Master Zhou, do you know the meaning of these thirteen stone statues now?" ”

Zhou De said: "I still can't figure out the meaning of these stone statues. ”

Gao Qin said: "So do you know the connection between these stone statues and 'Great Righteousness'? ”

Zhou De shook his head and said, "I don't know." He continued, "But these statues must be the key to cracking the mechanism." Look at the bottom of the stone statue, do you have two inconspicuous futons? ”

Everyone looked at the stone statues, and there were two gray futons on the ground in front of each stone statue, one large and one small, as if they were used for people to kneel.

Xu Ming said: "Do you still need people to worship the stone statue with incense? ”

Zhou De said: "The incense is not necessarily, there is a futon in front of the stone statue, it must be to make people kneel and worship, what do these thirteen stone statues represent, we may be able to figure it out later, now put it aside." The emperor asked us to bow down to these stone statues, or rather

There must be a reason for bowing down to these thirteen people, and perhaps it is the 'great act of righteousness' that we can only do according to the emperor's intentions in order to pass through here alive." ”

Xu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Master Zhou, are you saying that there is a mechanism under the futon?" ”

Everyone thought that Master Zhou's judgment this time was more risky and unexpected than the last time, if kneeling and worshipping the stone statue was not a way to pass this Great Hall of Righteousness, it would be more than auspicious.

Nanyang nodded and said, "In that case, let Ah Hu try it." ”

Master Zhou said, "No, I'll go." ”

Nanyang waved his hand and said, "Master Zhou, you stay here and don't take any more risks." Just tell us how to do it and let my people do it. In case this is not the right way, you need to find out the real way. ”

Ah Hu's eyes were resolute, and he said to Nanyang Lizheng: "Yes!" Nanyang said: "Everything is under the command of Master Zhou." Ah Hu put down the equipment on his body and walked into the main hall. Zhou De nervously reminded: "Attention, it can only be in the aisle between the two rows of stone statues."

Go, don't go outside! ”

Ah Hu walked to the first stone statue and stood by in place, waiting for Master Zhou's order. Master Zhou said, "You kneel on the big futon first, kowtow to the small futon, and you must kowtow hard." ”

Xu Ming said: "Hey, don't you just want to touch that futon, do you need to really kowtow, Ah Hu, you can step on it with your feet!" We can't afford to be cheap with that Dead Ghost Emperor! ”

Zhou Deqi's face turned blue, and he said: "You kowtow hard, don't be opportunistic, the ancients don't deceive me, and we can't deceive the ancients." If the ancients prevented future generations from deceiving him, and set up some mechanism, it would be extremely dangerous! ”

Ah Hu was very simple, he obeyed Master Zhou's order, kowtowed to the small futon hard, and felt that the small futon seemed to shrink a little and did not move. Ah Hu knelt down and worshiped the thirteen stone statues, only to hear a "click" sound from the ground of the main hall.

At this moment, everyone's mood was very nervous, and they didn't know if the mechanism in the Great Hall of Justice had been lifted, Ah Hu returned to the entrance of the hall and took the crowbar, walked cautiously to the exit, held his breath and condensed, and tentatively touched the stone bricks on the ground with the crowbar

There was no reaction.

Everyone held their breath and wondered: Did those guillotine traps really stop? Ah Hu looked back at everyone, Nanyang nodded, Ah Hu understood, he walked through the exit and walked out of the Great Hall of Righteousness.

Ah Hu passed through the exit of the main hall safely, without triggering any mechanism, and the stone in everyone's hearts finally fell. Everyone walked through the Great Hall of Righteousness and looked ahead, only to see a tall and majestic palace standing in front of them.

This palace is taller than the Great Benevolence Hall and the Great Righteousness Palace, and the body of the palace is inlaid with copper and silver wires, iron armor barriers, and the main hall is shrouded in might. Everyone looked up at the gold plaque hanging in front of the hall, with three mighty and powerful characters written "Great Courage Palace".

Everyone thought: After the Great Benevolence Palace, there is a Great Righteousness Palace, and after the Great Righteousness Palace, there is a Great Courage Palace, and the Earth God Palace in this ancient city is really complicated and weird.

Nanyang smiled bitterly and said: "The structure in the ancient ruins is really unexpected, it seems that we must break enough." ”

Everyone looked at the Great Courage Hall, this hall is very tall and mighty, but the space in the hall is not too high, about two and a half meters high, and the horizontal is very spacious, giving people the feeling of flattening. The hall is densely packed with all kinds of sharp weapons, some of which are suspended

On the roof of the shed, some are inserted into the ground, and the cold light flickers, like a battlefield.

Everyone immediately discovered a special feature: all the weapons inserted into the ground, the sharp part was actually upward, the handle was inserted into the ground, and the part of each weapon inserted into the ground had gaps, as if it could move. For example, knives

The blades of the swords and blades all stood up like weeds, making people's hairs stand on end.

The halls of this hall are full of deadly weapons, of all types, exuding a chill. Two huge brocade paintings are embroidered at both ends of the main hall, depicting an emperor leading his troops into battle, invincible and unstoppable in the midst of thousands of troops

, the momentum is extraordinary.

Everyone looked at the main hall, it seemed that the sound of soldiers and armor was hidden, and it seemed to hide thousands of troops and horses, and the murderous aura was extremely heavy. They looked at the weapons that shone like the grass in the hall, and they couldn't think of a clue.

Nanyang said, "Master Zhou, what do you think of this Great Brave Palace?" ”

Zhou De stared at the main hall, thought for a while, his face was always ugly, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "I can't understand it this time, do you want us to pass through between these weapons?" ”

Everyone looked at the weapons all over the hall (and there are hanging ones), although there are many of them, dense, up and down, but there are still gaps between the weapons, and people can walk over calmly.

But everyone is thinking about the same question in their hearts at the moment: will this Great Brave Hall really let people pass through so easily? Or is it a sinister trap?

Xu Ming said angrily: "This emperor wants to prove his bravery, but he lets others pass through this sword and sword, how can there be such a reason?" ”

Everyone thought about it for a while, but they still had no clue, and they couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in this hall. Nanyang said: "It seems that it is better to test it first and see what the situation is before taking action." ”

Ah Hu immediately took the crowbar and threw stones to ask for directions like the first two times, and he had just walked to the threshold of the main hall when he suddenly heard a muffled sound from the quiet Dayong Palace.

Everyone was stunned, and after the voice disappeared, everything was as usual, and there seemed to be no change in the hall.

At this time, the most nervous was Zhou De, he felt that this was a sign that some kind of mechanism had been activated, but everyone had not yet entered the main hall, how did they trigger the mechanism? Zhou De looked at Ah Hu, Ah Hu was the closest to the main hall, and he was standing at the entrance of the main hall, the ground

There is no change in the slate on it.

The more Zhou De thought about it, the more nervous he became: This is really strange, everyone doesn't know how to trigger the mechanism!

Everyone stood outside the Hall of Great Bravery, waiting to see what would happen. The Great Courage Hall was also quiet, but everyone felt a strong murderous aura gushing out from the Great Courage Palace. After about ten seconds of this, the Great Courage Hall burst out

Then there was a "gurgling" sound, as if there was a mechanical transmission.

In the blink of an eye, all the weapons in the Great Courage Hall swung up! The swords, guns, swords, and halberds flashed with cold light, as if they were being waved wildly by soldiers, and they kept chopping!

These weapons all follow a certain trajectory and a certain angle, and repeatedly do regular movements. Because their position, direction, and angle are so well designed that they form an airtight attack space that does not collide with each other.
