Fortunately, the three of them had been prepared, they had already put on gas masks, and although they fell to the ground, they did not inhale any harmful gases. In such a place, even if there is no poison gas mechanism, the inhalation of the turbid gas inside for hundreds of years will harm the human body.

After the gas completely dissipated, the three of them slowly approached the crack in the door.

"Glow sticks." He Changqing motioned to Wei Chiran.

Wei Chi Chi threw a glow stick into the crack of the door, and after the glow stick landed, the three of them saw clearly that behind the door was a suspension bridge, and the location of the suspension bridge was a stone house, and the glow stick happened to be stuck in the gap in the bridge plank.

He Changqing looked carefully: "How can there be a suspension bridge?" ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "I'll take a look, I don't know what material this suspension bridge is made of, if it is wood, it will have decayed in the past few hundred years." ”

He Changqing craned his neck and looked: "I hope it's not wood." ”

Hou Zhenbang took half a step towards the door, felt out a stone and threw it towards the suspension bridge, and the stone smashed on the bridge plate of the suspension bridge with a crisp collision sound.

Hearing this, Hou Zhenbang affirmed: "It's metal, so there should be no problem." ”

He Changqing was not in a hurry to enter: "According to the design of the conventional mechanism, once we enter this door, the door will be resealed, so we can only find other exits after entering." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Shouldn't there be only one entrance and exit in a place like the torture cave?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chiran remembered again: "Since Xia Shi and Tieyimen hid the Ding Jia pot in the torture hole, they must have thought of other methods. ”

At this time, Wei Chiran and He Changqing both looked at Hou Zhenbang.

Hou Zhenbang immediately said: "I really don't know, the secret hall has never told me, as for the order they issued, I can't say, I'm sorry, but, uncle, I will definitely help you, after all, this is what I owe you." ”

He Changqing didn't say anything, just patted Hou Zhenbang on the shoulder.

When the two passed by, He Changqing turned his head to look at Hou Zhenbang, who was on the ground before, Hou Zhenbang suddenly appeared, and with guilt on his face, he Changqing had already noticed something.

Obviously, Hou Zhenbang heard He Changqing's account of the memories before that, and that incomplete account could make Hou Zhenbang feel guilty, which shows that Hou Zhenbang knew the truth about the incident back then, and he was unwilling to say the order of Tieyimen, which also shows that Tieyimen was also involved in that incident.

The three of them walked into the stone gate in turn, and after entering, Wei Chiran stepped on the movable floor tile on the ground, and the moment the floor tile sank, the ground began to shake, but the door did not close, nor did it touch other switches, but the three of them clearly heard something falling from the well outside.

Hou Zhenbang immediately went out to check, only to find that the spikes they had fixed to the ground had fallen along with the ropes.

Wei Chi asked, "Is there anyone up there?" ”

He Changqing shook his head: "No, it's the nail that is loose." ”

Hou Zhenbang took the nail and said: "When I nailed it, I tried to stuff the rags in the gaps, or I couldn't fix it, the soil on it was too brittle, and the ground vibrated slightly, and the nails would fall off, so we really couldn't go back along the same road." ”

The three of them put away the ropes and re-entered the stone house, and with the previous lesson, they did not dare to light the incendiary rod easily, so they had to shine it with their headlamps.

The height of this stone house is about 20 meters, which is about the height of a four-story building. The suspension bridge is built in the center, and there is a hole opposite the suspension bridge, and it seems that you can leave the stone house by crossing the suspension bridge.

But it's certainly not that easy.

Standing at the head of the bridge, the lieutenant looked downwards and shone with his headlamp: "What's down there?" It's too high, and the headlights don't shine clearly. ”

As soon as Wei Chiran finished asking, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps and the sound of metal clashing.

He Changqing looked at the bridge opposite, stretched out his hand to signal Hou Zhenbang and Wei Chi to retreat, and then the three of them saw a person wearing armor appear there.

Wei Chi was dumbfounded, how could there be a person here?

He Changqing said in a low voice: "That shouldn't be a person." ”

Wei Chiran asked: "It's not a person, what is it?" ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "Strange, why is he wearing the armor of the Song Dynasty?" ”

The man standing on the other side of the bridge was indeed wearing the armor of the Song Dynasty, called the Black Hammer Armor. This armor is one of the thirteen armors of the Tang Dynasty. The black hammer armor helmet phoenix wings are pocketed, with shoulder pads, the overall shape connects the leg skirt with the front chest and back as a whole, because its armor is shaped like a small hammer and gets its name, it is used by the Song Dynasty, this armor is characterized by a robe belly, which is called holding the belly in the Tang Dynasty.

Look at the man holding a pair of gold-flowered plate axes, standing on the opposite side, motionless.

The three of them looked directly at the man, and the headlamp naturally shone through, and when the light shone on the man's face, they found that the armor was empty, and the reason why the hands could hold weapons was because the pair of plate axes were connected to the wrists.

"Oops." He Changqing sighed and said, "It's a ghost general." ”

Wei Chiran frowned and asked, "What is the ghost general?" ”

Hou Zhenbang on the side said: "Do you know the Four Heavens King? These four gods originally existed in Hinduism, because Buddhism was born in Hinduism, so Buddhism also has four heavenly kings, in the Ming Dynasty's "Romance of the Gods", there are four generals of the demon family, originally helped to do evil, and later after death, they were named the four heavenly kings. There used to be a rule in the Iron Clothes Gate, that is, to subdue demons as soldiers, which means that they will subdue demons and monsters for their own use and become so-called ghost generals. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "So, this thing is a ghost?" ”

He Changqing shook his head slowly: "Who knows what it is, anyway, it's the first time I've seen it." ”

Hou Zhenbang also took out his weapon abacus: "It's the first time I've seen it, and it seems that I can't get by without defeating this thing." ”

The three of them retreated to the position behind the bridge near the door, discussing how to deal with the ghost general. Wei Chiran was very puzzled, didn't he say that the mechanism was designed separately by each sect? Since the Iron Cloak Gate designed the previous Fangjing Mechanism, and the Bone Hunter designed the Four Holy Gates of the North Pole, how could the drawbridge be designed by the Iron Cloak Gate?

In this regard, He Changqing's speculation is that the Four Holy Gates of the Arctic and this stone house were both designed by bone hunters, but the design process may have referred to a law of the Iron Cloak Gate, after all, the two sects have the same ancestor.

To deal with the ghost general, you can't use ordinary methods, even the iron-clad gate can't use charms and the like to deal with it, after all, the role of the ghost general is to help the iron-clad gate subdue demons and eliminate demons.

However, Hou Zhenbang, who was the Venerable of the Yuan Fu Hall of the Iron Cloak Gate, had never heard of the real existence of the ghost general, because this thing only existed in the legend of the Iron Cloak Gate.

The lieutenant looked at the motionless ghost general, thought for a moment, took out the gun, and fired two shots at his chest, although the ghost general was wearing armor, but this armor was useless in front of the bullet, and the bullet penetrated the armor and shot directly into the wall behind him.

Wei Chiran asked, "Is that thing just an ornament?" There's a mechanism to get it out, and there's a scary thing to do there. ”

He Changqing smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can go up and try it." ”

"Try it, just try it." Wei Chiran really had the courage to walk up the drawbridge and gradually approached the ghost general. He had already seen the fox demon in the evil suppression tower, which almost subverted his three views, and now, he wanted to verify for himself whether the so-called ghost general really existed.

Hou Zhenbang stood in wait, standing there with an abacus in his hand, ready to go up to rescue Wei Chiran at any time.

But He Changqing shook his head at Hou Zhenbang, which meant to make him believe in Wei Chiran.

He Changqing also wanted to take this opportunity to test Wei Chiran and see what the results of his training were for Wei Chiran. Dealing with those lonely soldiers before was a pediatric for Wei Chiran, because under the premise of having a gun in hand, as long as he kept a certain distance, Wei Chiran, who had not been trained by him, could easily solve it.

Wei Chi Ran walked across the drawbridge, and gradually approached the ghost general, the ghost general suddenly raised the plate axe and slashed at Wei Chi Ran, Wei Chi Ran was prepared, and retreated again and again, and the ghost general hesitated at the moment when he stepped on the bridge deck, and then stopped, and the double axe slowly hung down.

Can't this thing go up the bridge? Wei Chiran looked at the feet of the ghost general, since he couldn't go on the bridge, so he said that he was safe on the bridge? The lieutenant decided to try again, and after a few trials, he found that the ghost general really didn't seem to dare to set foot on the drawbridge.

Therefore, Wei Chi Ran had a bold idea, that is, to avoid the ghost general, after all, the ghost general looks relatively bulky, and he can bypass him and go directly into the cave behind.

After making up his mind, Wei Chi suddenly rushed towards the ghost general, and at the moment when the ghost general wielded the double axe, he dodged sideways, after all, he had already practiced the ability to dodge and escape in the training of the falcon and He Changqing, and it was easy to avoid an attack at this speed.

At the moment when Wei Chiran avoided the attack, he just wanted to rush over, who knew that the upper body of the ghost general turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and slashed directly at him again, and the two axes were slashed on the wall behind him, only a few centimeters away from the head of Wei Chiran who was squatting down to dodge, if there was no wall, Wei Chiran's head would have blossomed.

Wei Chi was frightened into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to delay, a roll, came to a standard tactical dodge, drilled directly into the cave, and the moment he got up, he subconsciously pulled out his gun and aimed it at the outside of the cave.

However, the ghost general did not chase in, but only restored his upper body to its original state, and then headed towards He Changqing and Hou Zhenbang at the other end of the suspension bridge.

Wei Chi Chi pressed the radio headset: "Master, I'm here, this thing should just be staying here." ”

As soon as Wei Chiran finished speaking, a black thing appeared behind him, grabbed his backpack and dragged him directly into the darkness.

"Ahh

Who knew that the ghost general was wielding a plate axe, and it was constantly waving, obviously just to prevent the two from coming, and what was even more surprising was that this time the ghost general stepped on the suspension bridge and walked slowly towards the two while wielding the board axe.

Hit the plan. He Changqing and Hou Zhenbang retreated step by step, the ghost general did not set foot in the suspension bridge before, and pretended not to dare to go on the suspension bridge, the purpose was to induce Wei Chiran to be fooled, and everything the ghost general did before was just to make Wei Chiran think that as long as he bypassed him and entered the cave in the rear, it would be fine.

It seems that the cave in the back is not an entrance, it is the body of the mechanism.
