Chapter 63: The Victory Realm is a series of organs, and the Promised Land is full of doubts
Beichen, who grabbed the thin chain, said coldly: "Just a puppet, dare to do this!" "As soon as the thin chain was forced, the fake Beichen next to us had a separate head and neck, and it could be seen from the broken mouth that it was a wooden man.
Beichen slowly walked up to me and pressed the southeast "Xun" position, which is the number "four", and the flowers and leaves of the small peach tree began to tremble, and the whole peach tree separated and combined into a puppet shape, and there was a small closed door behind it.
The puppet figure holds a wooden gun, has two wheels under its feet, flowers and leaves as clothes, and has facial features on its head. The three of us hurriedly ran to the edge of Beichen, and I pointed to this wooden man and asked, "What is this, Nezha made of wood?" ”
Beichen glanced at me and replied, "Array Spirit, Mechanic." ”
"Is it really a wooden machine? Then burn it with fire, for wood is afraid of fire. Glasses said, as he said that he was about to prepare something for fire attack.
Beichen waved his hand, "It's useless, this is the essence of thousand-year-old peach wood, water and fire are invulnerable, and knives and guns are difficult to hurt." ”
Just as we were finding it difficult to do, the machine man smacked the wooden gun on the ground and said, "Who are you waiting for, dare to trespass on the Moyang Paradise!" ”
Except for Beichen, the three of us were amazed at how sophisticated the Mo family's mechanism skills were, and how much the machine people could still speak. However, it is still the sharp eyes of the glasses, reminding us that there is a snake-shaped mark on the chest of the organist, which glows brightly from time to time, flickering and flickering.
"This mark is the embodiment of peach essence, and it is its only weakness." Beichen explained.
At this time, the man saw that we did not reply, and asked again. I had an idea and replied: "We are disciples of the Mo family, and when we return from a mission, please make it convenient." ”
As soon as I said this, the glasses couldn't help but laugh, Tu Shaoqun looked at me with a question mark on his face, and Beichen smiled bitterly, turned to the side, and shook his head. The agency man asked, "On what basis?" ”
"This ......" I was speechless for a while, and my glasses smiled evilly, as if to say, look at how round you kid is now. didn't wait to think about how to reply, and pointed at the wooden gun of the machineman, "You are not a disciple of the Mo family, and you dare to destroy my puppet puppet, look at the gun!" With that, the spear stabbed straight at me.
I scolded secretly,, just hit it. This time the incident happened suddenly, I hurriedly used the Moyu Tianjun knife to block it in front of my chest, and with a "bell", I took three steps back, and Beichen hurriedly blocked me behind me when he saw this.
Strangely, the machine man only stabbed once before retracting his spear, and stared straight at my knife. Beichen looked at it with a complaining look, I smiled a little embarrassedly, and then stared at the machine man with everyone on guard.
The machine man asked, "Is it the Moyu Heavenly Monarch Sword in your hand?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied, "So what?" ”
"In that case, you can wait." The machine man got out of the way, pointed behind him and shouted, "Kai! The door opened, and a corridor appeared.
The four of us looked at each other, and the change came so quickly. I carefully looked at the Moyu Tianjun Knife in my hand, it seems that this knife should have some kind of connection with this place, but I can't ask more questions at the moment, for fear that it will be complicated again.
The three of us quickly entered the Yongdao, and Beichen was broken. After we all entered, Beichen glanced at me again, and the glasses finally couldn't help it, and laughed, even with Tu Shaoqun.
I was so laughed by them, and I also regretted the oolong incident just now, and secretly said in my heart, I won't play such a clever trick when I am killed in the future. This road is like a tunnel built in the mountains, about 100 meters long, and after we walked out, we saw a majestic ancient city.
We have been to Afang City, and we have seen the grandeur of the dungeon, but compared to the city in front of us, Afang City is like a village. Although I have heard Lao Jiang's description of this place, I am still impressed by its majesty when I see it with my own eyes, and I am even more impressed by the fact that the sages of the ink can build such a city underground.
The city wall is as high as more than ten zhang, the whole is brown and black, and there seems to be a feeling of warmth when you reach out and touch it, and I don't know what kind of stone it is built for. There is a moat and a suspension bridge in front of the city gate, and the city gate of six or seven zhang is indeed a gate that opens up and down, with a thickness of about three inches, and the material should be made of bronze.
Strong bows and crossbows can be vaguely seen on the castle towers and arrow towers, and corpses are scattered in front of the castle towers, and near the city gates, there are several corpses with several arrows in their bodies and wearing modern expedition clothes. All these scenes are basically the same as what Lao Jiang said, and it seems that no one has been here since their time.
"Depending on the size of the city, even if the army can find an entrance to get here, it may not be able to storm the city. According to the location that Lao Jiang said, first look for the mechanism that opened the city gate. I looked up and said.
Glasses said as he searched for the mechanism, "That's right. See, such a thick city gate, according to the ancient siege equipment, if you want to break through the gate, it is simply difficult to reach the sky. Even if they attack the city, there is still so much news waiting for them, but I am afraid that there will be no return. ”
Soon the glasses found the mechanism on a stone in the northwest corner of the city wall, and with a slight turn, with the sound of the gear of the mechanism, the gate slowly rose, like a giant beast opening its mouth, welcoming us uninvited guests. We quickly entered the city according to what Lao Jiang said, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the heavy city gate to fall again with a "boom".
It seems that Lao Jiang is right. However, since this city gate can be opened from the outside, it stands to reason that there will be a mechanism to open in the corresponding position inside, do you want to find it? Glasses looked at us and asked.
I leaned towards finding the mechanism to open the door, so I looked at Beichen, who nodded slightly. The glasses began to look around for mechanisms, and I beckoned Tu Shaoqun to help, telling him to be careful not to touch things, and to call us immediately if he found anything.
After a while, Tu Shaoqun shouted: "Brother Long, come and take a look, there is a wall here." ”
When the three of us heard this, we saw a strange stone wall standing on the edge of the city tower where he was, about one person more than one person high, more than three meters long, and the top was engraved with three seal characters of "Treasure Hunting Order". The entire wall is covered with all kinds of treasure patterns, and the paintings seem to have left no mark on them for thousands of years, and these paintings are still fresh for a long time.
When I looked at these paintings, I was a little strange and even more surprised. Some of the treasures in these paintings are actually the things we have obtained during this time, including the Ying Long Demon Avoidance Mirror, the Moyu Tianjun Knife, and the Yin and Yang Jade Jue.
In addition, a helmet, three long swords are painted on the wall. The helmet is silver-colored, shaped like a dragon's head, with a dragon's eye shining with golden light, and the sides are like dragon wings with wings spread. The three long swords, one blue and black, one golden and one red, are speculated to be Dingqin, Xuanyuan and Chixiao, because the names of these four treasures have been crossed out and cannot be distinguished.
"Why are there so many treasures painted here, could it be that the Ink Artist used to be looking for them too?" I said confusedly. Recalling the reaction of the machine man when he saw the Moyu Tianjun Knife just now, he felt more and more that there was a lot of fog in it.
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads and silent, they had no clue for a while. I asked, "Glasses, did you find the mechanism to open the door?" ”
The glasses replied: "Found it, I'm sure it won't be wrong." ”
"What should I do next, according to what Lao Jiang said, there are all kinds of mechanisms here, and anything you touch may trigger." I looked at the streets in all directions, the empty city, and felt a little infiltrated.
Glasses squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt and sniffed it, then stood up again and looked around, and said, "I'm sure the ground is empty, and you can't walk around." I think the whole city is a huge mechanism, and there must be a general hub, and it must be shut down or destroyed to ensure safety. ”
"Makes sense. So where do you think the main hub will be? I asked approvingly.
The glasses turned their heads and looked at the tall city tower, "Xiaolong, if you want to see the whole city, where will you go?" ”
I followed his gaze, understood a little, and replied, "You mean above the castle tower?" ”
"There's only one possibility. The Mohists have always talked about counter-defense and counterattack, using static braking, and maximizing efficiency with the least amount of manpower. From above, you can see the whole picture, and one or a few people are enough to control everything. Glasses analyzed.
I nodded at first, then realized that something was wrong, and said, "But in such an important place, wouldn't there be some powerful mechanism to protect it?" I pointed to the city tower more than ten feet high, "There is a passage on each side to go up, I don't think it will be so simple." ”
Glasses frowned, "Then what do you say, it's safer to go up and try it than to break in there." ”
We couldn't make up our minds for a while, so Tu Shaoqun said with a smile: "I have a way to do this." After speaking, he took out a black and red snake about one meter long from his bag, grabbed the snake's head and looked at us.
"Oh, I'll go, Captain, what are you doing with a snake in this bag, and I'm not afraid that it will come out and bite in the middle of the night." I said with a look of disgust.
Tu Shaoqun replied: "We can use it to explore the way and try to see if there is a mechanism on it." What do you think? ”
I took a look at my glasses and thought it was okay and worth trying. "Captain, don't you know beast language, can you recruit a few more pathfinders?" I proposed.
Tu Shaoqun replied: "I tried it just now, it's strange, there are no living creatures around here. ”
As soon as we heard this, we felt more and more that this place was strange, and there was no other way at the moment, so we could only try it according to Tu Shaoqun's method. Tu Shaoqun drove the snake to climb up the stairs along the steps, and it didn't trigger any mechanism, which was really strange.
"There are two possibilities, either there is no mechanism on this step, or this mechanism is activated by weight, and the snake is too light, so the mechanism is not triggered. ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I propose to go up from both sides in pairs, use a steel umbrella to look at the front and back, watch the steps under your feet, and warn immediately if there is danger." ”
All three of them agreed with me, with me and glasses on the left side, and Beichen and Tu Shaoqun on the right. The four of us walked cautiously towards the castle tower, and by the time we met on the high castle tower, I was already sweating, and I felt like I had been closed by the ghost gate.
There is a command booth on the castle tower, which is full of switches, which should be the main hub of the glasses. Just as we were about to pass with joy, there was a "gurgling" sound of the pull of the spring, and the glasses exclaimed, "What sound?" ”
"I think I've been tricked." I said helplessly, pointing to my feet.
