Chapter 54: Nine Palace Locks

Seeing the door number of No. 88 Xianxia Road, An Ran couldn't help but be stunned, and even Wu Yang's cold personality couldn't help frowning.

No. 88 Xianxia Road is the sender's address written by the mysterious person when he mailed the brocade box. What's more, this place, which the Adventure Alliance launched a large-scale investigation and failed to find, was eventually determined to be a non-existent address.

But now, it appeared in front of An Ran and Wu Yang.

"No. 88 Xianxia Road, why are you here?" An Ran was confused and muttered to himself: "Could it be that the power of the explosion is so strong that it has washed us out of the chemical plant?" ”

"This is not scientific, and it is not a nuclear explosion, where is it so powerful?"

At this time, Wu Yang spoke: "If there was a nuclear explosion, we would have turned to ashes a long time ago, and this is the underground of the chemical plant." ”

"Underground in a chemical plant?"

"Yes."

Wu Yang nodded and said, "When the explosion occurred, the ground suddenly collapsed, and we fell here. If we hadn't fallen here, we would have been burned to death by the flames of the explosion. ”

An Ran was unconscious at the time of the explosion, and naturally he didn't know what happened next. After listening to Wu Yang, he understood why there was a stone slab on top of his head, and why there were so many broken things around, all of which were debris that fell from the warehouse.

"In this way, No. 88 Xianxia Road is under the chemical plant."

Enron still doesn't understand, the house numbers are designed for easy identification, for the ground building, this is a basement, how can he de, and he can be specially assigned a house number?

Besides, hiding under the chemical plant, even if there is a door number, who can find it? What else does the house number mean?

With doubts, An Ran reached out and knocked around the door number. He didn't think it could be just a house number here, at least there should be a building.

"Wow"

"Wow"

"Knock Knock"

An Ran immediately stopped when he heard the change in the voice, and the sound in front of him was very solid, obviously a stone wall. The last two echoes, and they are definitely empty walls.

Cleaned up the debris on the side of the wall, and kicked down safely according to the position of the empty wall, and the wall collapsed with a "bang", revealing a hole.

It's just that it's pitch black inside, and you can't see anything.

Following the hole kicked out, all the empty walls on the side were smashed to make a hole that could accommodate people to enter, and An Ran and Wu Yang walked into it immediately.

When I took a picture of my phone, there was a long corridor in front of me. The corridor was very deep, and there were solid walls on both sides, and Wu Yang stabbed a few times with a sharp cone, only leaving shallow marks on the wall.

"The strength of this wall is very high, and this should be a special place, and it needs such a high-strength wall barrier."

An Ran couldn't help asking, "What is it doing here?" Need such a sturdy wall? ”

Wu Yang didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.

I don't know how long I walked along the corridor, but an iron door appeared in front of me, rusty and locked with nine rusty locks, each the size of two palms.

With such a big lock, it's hard to pick open one, and there are nine of them! It feels like the person who locks it is not for theft, but more like he wants to lock something in the door and prevent it from coming out.

"With such a big formation, what are you trying to lock?" An Ran looked at the door in front of him, and his curiosity was suddenly aroused.

He glanced at Wu Yang and discussed: "Now that Gong Wenhai is dead, you and I have nothing to fight about, cooperate once, how about going in and seeing?" ”

Wu Yang glanced at the iron gate and did not speak.

An Ran pouted and smiled: "If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise." ”

After speaking, An Ran reached out and pulled one of the locks, the weight was quite heavy, and I didn't know what material it was made of. The rust on it is blackish-gray, not like steel.

It's really such a heavy lock, if you want to pry it open, you can't do it with the tools in their hands.

An Ran glanced at the sharp cone in Wu Yang's hand, wanting to see if he could use it to open the lock. But after looking for a long time, I didn't find the keyhole.

"Strange thing, what kind of lock is this? There is not even a keyhole, how can I open it? ”

Enron turned the lock over and over, not to mention the keyhole, and couldn't even find a hole.

This lock is also too weird.

Is it a combination lock?

An Ran thought to himself, wiped the rust off the big lock with his hands, and saw if there were any movable and transformed numbers, but the result was still no. But after wiping off the rust, Enron felt that the surface of the lock was rough to the touch, and there seemed to be some pattern on it.

He took a photo with his mobile phone and found that there was a word on the lock - Xun.

"There's a word on it." An Ran shouted to Wu Yang.

When Wu Yang heard this, he also stepped forward to check, and sure enough, there were words on each lock, which were Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Dui, Xun, Li, Kun, and Zhong.

"Gossip?"

An Ran read all the words on the nine locks, and the first thing that came to mind was the eight hexagrams in the five elements of the eight trigrams.

The problem is that there are only eight hexagrams in the eight trigrams, which are Qian, Kun, Xun, Li, Kan, Gen, Dui, and Zhen.

Here are nine locks, what does it mean to have an extra "medium"?

Although An Ran is not proficient in the Five Elements Bagua, as an adventure lover, it is possible to encounter these things. There was once an adventurer who entered an abandoned village decorated with five elements of gossip and almost didn't get out.

The adventurer was so impressed by this encounter that he wrote an article for publication in the magazine, and it happened that he had read this issue of the magazine and learned a little about it.

"It's the Nine Palaces."

At this time, Wu Yang spoke: "The nine palaces originate from the eight trigrams, but the eight trigrams are divided into nine equal parts with two horizontal and two vertical, and the outer eight parts correspond to the eight trigrams, and the middle part is called the middle palace because it is immovable, and the eight trigrams run around it." ”

"The words on this lock correspond to the Nine Palaces, which should be the legendary Nine Palaces Lock."

Nine palace locks?

This name seems to have been heard by An Ran, but he has no impression, and it is very vague. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered a few words that Gong Wenhai said before he died.

Empty mountain valley, eighty-nine, palace.

After pondering these words carefully, An Ran muttered: "We may have been mistaken just now, what Gong Wenhai wanted to say should be the Empty Mountain Valley, Eighty, and Nine Palaces. ”

Explaining it this way, I feel that it is much more reasonable to meet the Nine Palace Lock here.

Looking at the Nine Palace Lock, An Ran couldn't help but ask, "But how to open this Nine Palace Lock?" ”

Wu Yang glanced at An Ran, and said lightly: "Now the nine locks are disrupted, and only by following the layout of the Nine Palaces Diagram and putting all the locks in their original positions can be opened." ”

An Ran asked again: "What was the original location like?" ”

Wu Yang frowned and said, "After the Nine Palaces Gate was destroyed, the original map of the Nine Palaces was lost, and there are very few people who know it. Now those nine-palace diagrams outside are all depicted by later generations according to their own guesses, and there is no way to know whether they are right or wrong. ”

An Ran rolled his eyes: "You just said that if this door can't be opened, won't it be over?" ”

"I'll try."

Wu Yang said expressionlessly, and began to study the Nine Palace Lock.

Enron didn't know anything about this, so he couldn't help much. However, it should be important that this door is so tightly arranged. The more important the thing, the more afraid the person who arranges it is to be found by others, and often arranges some organs.

"What if I can't get started?" An Ran asked cautiously.

Wu Yang stared at the Nine Palace Locks with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Legend has it that where there are Nine Palace Locks, there are organs. And the nine-palace lock does not allow mistakes, once it makes a mistake, it will self-destruct, and even the person who breaks the nine-palace lock will die together. ”

When An Ran heard this, he couldn't help but change his face and said, "So serious? Then you have to be careful! ”

How could Wu Yang not know this? That's why he didn't crack it immediately, but stared at the Nine Palace Lock and fell into deep thought.
