Chapter Seventy-Two: Great Benevolence and Righteousness

Nanyang asked: "Master Zhou, do you mean that only by walking over the red carpet on both sides can you safely pass through this Great Ren Palace, otherwise you will be ambushed by the authorities?" ”

Zhou De said, "Yes. ”

Everyone looked at the main hall again, and the inside was as calm as ever, and every jade brick on the ground looked fine. But they knew that what they saw before them was an illusion, and if the mechanism was triggered, in the blink of an eye, sharp weapons would appear everywhere in the hall.

Nanyang said lightly: "Master Zhou, are you sure this is the method through the Great Ren Palace?" If you're wrong, what if there's a mechanism under the two red carpets? Didn't we die ourselves? ”

Zhou De said: "The owner of this ancient city has designed so many mechanisms, not to kill people, but for another purpose. If he had tried to kill all the intruders, we wouldn't have made it here alive. He continued: "The mechanism in this ancient ruins is more like a test, I'll go and try it!" ”

At this time, Ah Hu, who had been silent, said, "Master Zhou, how about you say that we climbed over the walls on both sides of the main hall?" If you don't go to this hall, wouldn't it be safer and more trouble-free? He continued: "The pillar and I have brought climbing tools and ropes, and the wall is high, but it's nothing, and we can transport a few experts there." ”

Although Zhou De was very disgusted at first, Xiao Gang found several so-called "young experts" such as Gao Qin to form an expert group, but he always had a good impression of soldiers, especially the honest and simple Ah Hu and Zhuzi. Zhou De said to Ah Hu seriously: "In my opinion, the builders of the ancient ruins have long expected this, and we must not go where we should not go." ”

Gao Qin said: "Master Zhou, are you saying that there are already hidden mechanisms on these walls to prevent people from climbing?" ”

Zhou De's face sank, and he said, "It's not just the wall, I estimate that the ground next to the wall has been organized." He went on to say, "If the emperor wants us to see his benevolent demeanor, he will not leave us any other way, and if we want to move on, we can only follow the path he has arranged." ”

Zhou De walked towards the main hall, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said: "If there is a mechanism under the red carpet in front of the wall carving, after I trigger the mechanism, you must immediately break my head, don't hesitate!" After I die, don't move on, retreat outside the city and wait for Xiao Gang's support, and then try to crack the mechanism here when you are fully prepared. ”

Nanyang said, "Master Zhou, don't go." He glanced at Ah Hu and said to Zhou De: "I said that I want to ensure the personal safety of the experts, and if I want to take risks, let my people go!" ”

Ah Hu and Zhu Zi stepped forward at the same time, their eyes were resolute, and they said in unison: "I'll go!" ”

Gao Qin and others were a little moved when they saw this scene, these soldiers can always sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths at critical moments, and have the courage to sacrifice without the slightest hesitation, and they really deserve to be the most reliable and respectable people.

Zhou De shook his head and said, "No! How can young people go on adventures. Besides, if something unexpected happens, they won't deal with it. I'm still going to do it. After speaking, he strode into the Great Ren Palace.

When Nanyang and the others saw Master Zhou enter the main hall, they all held their breath nervously and watched the development of the situation. At this time, they could not help, so they could only watch intently.

As soon as Zhou De entered the main hall, he stood on the red carpet, he stopped, and saw that there was no change in the surroundings, and it seemed that there was no trigger mechanism. Zhou De looked around the hall, then turned right, walked towards the wall sculpture at the right end of the hall, he walked carefully on the red carpet step by step, Nanyang and the others looked scared and very nervous (Xu Ming was also very nervous about Master Zhou's safety at the moment, although this strange old man looked like a fortune teller, not like an archaeologist, but Master Zhou's spirit of sacrifice moved him very much).

Zhou De was also very nervous at the moment, every step he took, he would be frightened when he landed, and he didn't know if there would be a fatal mechanism under his feet. After all, his judgment is only an inference, and no one knows whether there is a mechanism under the red carpet.

Everyone looked nervously outside the hall, and Zhou De slowly walked along the red carpet in the main hall, quiet all around, as if he could hear the heartbeat of everyone, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating.

Zhou De walked to the wall carving, there was really nothing to do all the way, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, there is still a long way to go, and everyone does not dare to relax their vigilance, Zhou De looks up at this tall wall carving at close range, and can find its delicacy and majesty, the patterns on the wall carving are exquisite, the characters are lifelike, it is of great artistic value, and the carving is also extraordinary. Zhou De walked carefully on the red carpet in front of the wall carving, looking up at the wall carving with every step, his forehead was already full of sweat.

Zhou De didn't dare to walk too fast in front of the wall carving, he walked slowly, and finally walked along the red carpet to the opposite side of the main hall, and did not trigger any mechanism along the way. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Master Zhou's method is right! Then Nanyang also followed Zhou De's example and walked along the red carpet through the main hall, he turned around and said, "You can come here, walk slowly and carefully." ”

Gao Qin looked at the wall carving at the left end of the hall and asked, "Master Zhou, can you walk this road on the left?" ”

Zhou De nodded and said, "It should be possible to walk, as long as you walk on the red carpet in front of these two wall carvings, the mechanism will not be triggered." However, you must walk slowly before going to the wall carving, and don't rush. ”

Xu Ming said: "Senior sister, since the right side is fine, let's not take risks, let's go to the right side too." ”

Xu Ming and Gao Qin also passed through the main hall along the right route, and they also took several photos as they passed by the wall carvings. After that, Qiu Tian, Ah Hu and Zhu Zi also walked to the opposite side of the main hall. Ah Hu and Zhu Zi didn't care to look at the content of the wall carving, but Zhou De was still very nervous, and told them to walk slowly, pretending to look at the wall carving, for fear that something would happen and trigger something.

Everyone passed through the Great Benevolence Hall safely, although they only walked a short distance and nothing happened, but everyone felt very tired. After a short rest, they looked ahead, and behind a square, a majestic hall stood.

Everyone walked through the square and came to the front of this hall, which is tall and mighty, and the style is very similar to that of the Daren Palace, and it is also connected from front to back. In front of the main hall, a gold plaque is hung, and the three words "Great Righteous Palace" are written in elegant calligraphy.

Xu Ming looked at the golden plaque and sneered, "Hmph! After the great benevolence is over, the great righteousness comes, Kong said that he became benevolent, Meng said that he took righteousness, and the great benevolence and righteousness were all occupied by this emperor! ”

Everyone looked into the main hall, this hall of righteousness did not place wall carvings or other patterns and words to express the emperor's righteous deeds, but more than ten stone statues were placed on both sides of the passage in the middle of the hall, and there was nothing else in the spacious hall.

Everyone stood at the entrance of the main hall and looked carefully at these stone statues: seven in a row on the left, six in a row on the right, a total of thirteen statues. These figures were all men, and they looked somewhat similar, like brothers. These thirteen statues are richly dressed and have different expressions, but there seems to be some resentment between the eyebrows.

Everyone looked at the hall and saw that there was no other special place in the main hall, the floor was full of neat stone slabs, and only the red carpet was laid on the path between the two rows of stone statues. Nanyang said: "Master Zhou, what do you think of this Great Hall of Righteousness?" ”

Everyone now knew that there might be a mechanism hidden under the ground in the temple, and that if anyone walked up to it, they would be killed at any time. However, if you can walk through the Great Hall of Righteousness by walking through the red carpet in the middle, isn't it too easy?

Gao Qin said: "Will this hall also have certain rules? ”

Everyone looked at the main hall again, and there were only thirteen cold stone statues inside, and there seemed to be nothing related to "righteousness". The crowd had no clue and could not enter rashly, so they had to wait at the entrance of the main hall.

Zhou De took the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and finally said: "The real level of this Great Hall of Righteousness is at the exit, you see, pay attention to the walls above and below the exit. ”
