He Wenqin was now putting away his machete, apparently planning to explore the doorway.

I yelled at him: "Old He, wait first!" ”

But He Wenqin was in such a hurry, he couldn't wait to find the Jin family's old mansion immediately, but he didn't hear me.

Seeing that the machete was already in the sheath, if you didn't stop him, it really wouldn't be able to stop him. I didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately urged out the second stage of vibration, and used the sixth form in the Tengyun step, the cloud pulling style.

He Wenqin had just spread his legs and rushed out half a step, and I had already reached behind him and picked him up.

With his feet off the ground, no matter how subtle He Wenqin's light body kung fu was, he hung in the air, twisting his neck and looking back at me, his expression was a little stunned.

I put He Wenqin down and told him, "Old He, this road is not working. ”

"Why not?"

"This road should be a dead end right now." I said to He Wenqin: "Old He, please go and inform Uncle Bai and Granny Gu that there is a secret passage on the mountain, let them look for it." ”

He Wenqin: "Is there still a road on the mountain?" ”

"Definitely, that road should be on the middle line of the mountain. But Elder He, don't rush in after you find your way. ”

"Okay, got it." He Wenqin responded quickly, and in a few blinks, he ran away.

Lao Ruan watched He Wenqin disappear into the woods, and then slowly walked up to me and said, "Your body is better than Lao He." ”

I smiled, "I'm far worse than him." ”

"But your speed just now is not like a human being, how can you not have that speed."

"That trick can't be used often, and it takes time to launch, so it's almost impossible to use in actual combat."

As I spoke, I turned on my flashlight and went into the doorway first.

Behind the door hole is a tunnel dug out of the soil layer, the soil is soft and wet, the two sides of the tunnel are reinforced with stone piles, I took a flashlight to sweep the piles, and I saw that each stone brick used to build the pile has been treated very finely, the stone surface is coated with condensate powder, this thing can prevent moss from growing, in order to prolong the life of the stone bricks, and the gap between the bricks is also very fine, which shows that the contact surface of the bricks is treated very smooth.

When Bai Laogou found out the relevant information of the old Jin family, the information once said that Jin Yunfeng, the thief king in Xiangxi, was a good hand at cracking the mechanism, and now it seems that the entire Lao Jin family's attainments in the clever arrangement are very powerful, and a stone pillar like this cannot be made without some craftsmanship.

I reminded Lao Ruan to be careful, Lao Jin's family may have arranged a powerful mechanism in front.

Lao Ruan nodded, reached his hand to his waist, and pulled out the machete.

After going fifty or sixty meters down the tunnel, the wet dirt road under your feet is no longer there, and the space in front of you is gradually spacious.

I roughly estimated that a large section of the tunnel behind it may be a trapezoidal with a narrow head and a wide tail, and this tunnel is very deep and the flashlight cannot find the head.

With such a large space and such a special shape, Lao Jin's family deliberately made such an arrangement, not for any performance art, there must be a mechanism hidden in front of it.

I told Lao Ruan to wait where he was, and walked alone in the light.

I didn't go far, and once again, I felt the stone slab under my feet suddenly sink, because it sank so little, it was easy to think that the soil under the brick surface had loosened, but I knew in my heart that the brick under my feet should be a pressure plate used to open the mechanism.

I didn't take my feet off the way, but picked up my flashlight and lit it up at the zenith and the walls on both sides.

On the left and right walls, you can faintly see the luster reflected by the metal, and most of the zenith is made of stones, but there are also places where the reflection is very dim, and it is believed that charcoal is inlayed.

I am afraid that the walls are equipped with dark crossbows, and the crossbow arrows are equipped with flint and steel, as long as the soles of my feet leave the ground, the dark arrows will be fired in an instant, and the charcoal on the zenith will also fall, and these charcoals will be coated with flammable fire, as long as they touch the sparks, they will burn immediately.

But whoever touches the mechanism, even if they are not killed by the crossbow, will be buried in the fire.

The reason why I know the structure of the organs here is because of the blessing of the "Book of Luban".

The world is clever out of Luban, even if the mechanism techniques of later generations have developed and changed, they have become a wide variety of categories, but they are also unchanged.

If I'm not mistaken, the old Jin family should have arranged a three-dimensional pressure array in this tunnel. The so-called Three Xuan Suppression Ground Formation is not a fixed formation, but a general term for a type of organ structure. The Book of Luban says: "Three Xuan pressed the ground, forty-five steps and one place, fifteen steps and one Xuan, one place and three Xuan, and nine Xuan pressed the ground; One mystery is more dangerous than another, and one place is more difficult than the other. Of course, there is no punctuation in the original text, which I added myself.

In fact, it has been said in the book more straightforwardly, this is a hierarchical mechanism structure, the first layer of the mechanism is the simplest arrangement, and the lethality is the least, but as the layers go deeper, the power of the mechanism will become greater and greater.

The position I am in now is equivalent to the first place and the first mystery among the three places and nine mysteries, and the mechanism here alone is quite powerful, and the latter mechanism is even more vigorous than here.

To be honest, even if I read all the "Book of Luban", I am not sure that I will crack the nine mysteries of these three places one by one, let alone those who have not read "Book of Luban".

I pressed the soles of my feet, twisted my body and shouted at Lao Ruan: "Uncle Ruan, leave a code." ”

Lao Ruan didn't say a word, and immediately swung the machete, cutting a knife mark on the wall beside him.

I took a closer look at the scar and swept it forward, spotted a stone-beaten wall brick, and then spread the yang line and threw the gossip money with all my might.

There was a crisp sound, and the wall tiles were cut out by the gossip money, and the shape was similar to the knife marks made by Lao Ruan.

With the code ready, I cast a second stage of vibration under my feet, and made a cloud-pulling vertical jump.

When my body retreated rapidly, there was a large sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and by the time I landed beside Lao Ruan, there was already a sea of fire in front of me.

I pulled everything out of my jacket pocket, then took off my jacket and threw it into the fire.

These charcoal should not burn for too long, and the jacket itself also has the function of fire and heat protection, so it will not be burned out for a while.

Lao Ruan didn't quite understand why I threw my jacket over, so he asked me, "Why did you throw away your clothes?" ”

I leaned against the wall and smiled a little prostrationly, "I need to leave some traces to tell the people who are following us that we've followed this path." ”

After exerting two second stage strength in a row, I was a little overwhelmed, and my tongue was a little knotted when I spoke, and it was estimated that it would take me about ten minutes to recover.

Lao Ruan looked at the fire in front of him, and pouted twice: "Who did you learn all these conspiracies from?" ”

I just smiled at this question and didn't answer it.

As expected, it didn't take long for the fire to subside, and even water seeped out from the ground, extinguishing the flames on the jacket.

The old Jin family is still quite benevolent, and the water seeping out of the ground is actually a way for the survivors to survive, as long as they are not killed by the crossbow, they can still extinguish the fire on their bodies and leave here alive.

Now most of the jacket has been burned away, leaving only a black sleeve and a piece of fabric on the shoulder to the ground.

Lao Ruan swept the light forward, first shining on the "knife marks" I had drawn with gossip money, and then moved the beam of light to the wreckage of the jacket.

The stone brick I had stepped on before was not far from the jacket, and the second-stage shock almost destroyed it into powder, and under the rotten stone powder, it reflected a crystal luster.

At first, I thought that the underside of the slate might have been reinforced with metal plates, but it wasn't until Lao Ruan hit the beam that I found that the luster was faintly revealing a sporadic dark red, and I could also see many other broken lights of different colors, but the dark red occupied most of the area, and the other light colors were not very clear.

Isn't this the seven-gold stone with cinnabar added?

It seems that the old Jin family and Shen Wansan did have an intersection, and Shen Wansan was able to refine so many seven-gold stones at the beginning, and it is possible that he also got the recipe for refining stones from the old Jin family.

After about ten minutes, I felt that my strength was almost recovered, and then I left the tunnel with Lao Ruan.

Lin'er was waiting for us outside the door cave early in the morning, this place was far away from the mountain of Niukou Mountain, and she actually came down from the mountain before He Wenqin left here.

I saw her anxious look, and thought to myself that it couldn't be something wrong on the mountain, so I quickly asked her what happened.

Lin'er held the bamboo tube containing the Xun Gu in her hand, and said anxiously: "The people who are following us have appeared, and now they are about to enter the depression!" ”

I know why she is in a hurry, the other party is about to enter the depression, and now it is impossible to go back to ambush.

But now there is no need to ambush, and the dead end left by the old Jin family is much more dangerous than the depression.

I smiled at Lin'er: "We don't have to go back, let's go, go up the mountain." ”

Lin'er looked a little confused, but she didn't ask much.

As we walked around the rift valley towards the mountain, I asked Lao Nguyen to try to deal with the footprints on the ground so that the stalkers wouldn't notice that we had turned back the way we came.

Along the way, Lin'er often manipulated the Gu Hunt and continuously monitored the movements of the stalker.

Lin'er said that there were only two people who were following us, one in his forties, and the other was at least eighty years old, but Xun Gu could only tell the age of the two by the hormone level, but he couldn't tell what humans looked like.

When I was about to walk to the foot of Beishan, a few more Gu Xun came back, Lin'er put them into the bamboo tube, and put her side face on the bamboo tube to listen for a while, and then told me: "Now these two people have entered the depression and are walking around in the depression, probably looking for the code left by Uncle Ruan." ”

Lao Ruan left a lot of codes in the depression, which were easy to find, and it was estimated that these two people would soon climb the low hill near the depression, and when they stood on the top of the mountain, they were likely to see our whereabouts.

Thinking of this, I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I hurriedly carried Lao Ruan and Lin'er on my shoulders, spread out the clouds, and rushed towards the mountain.
