Chapter 260: Poverty
To tell the truth, with such a scene in front of me, if I had walked inside, I would have died and I would have been left with bones. But Jiang Zhao told me that this was still the other party's salute before the soldiers, and it was just a warning.
What a dog!
The more I realized that something was wrong with this, and that I would really lose my life at any time. But seeing that Jiang Zhao is so calm, I don't want to show weakness, after all, Lao Tzu is the head of the Maoshan faction.
He's just a disciple who has been cast out!
I stared at Zheng Shuai deadly, and I always felt that this Jiang Zhao would not be able to throw Zheng Shuai's life here so casually, after all, this is only the first palace of the Nine Palaces, and he has no reason to do this.
Well, there is probably only one reason, and that is that when this happens, there must be some other secrets exposed, such as through the way here.
When I looked at it, I really saw the clue.
Zheng Shuai kept scurrying around, seemingly dodging those giant swords, but in fact it was more than that. There is a certain pattern in his way of acting, it is ......
The way to move the Nine Palaces!
I took a look at it with my flashlight and found that there were actually a lot of squares on the floor, which looked the same as the 80-centimeter-long and wide floor tiles we usually see. And the route that Zheng Shuai avoided was the calculation method of the Nine Palaces, from one to nine, and then from nine to one, which was exactly one week.
In other words, Jiang Zhao, the old thing, actually told them a lot of things, and I was probably the only one who was not familiar with this place. I secretly scolded this old thing for playing deep enough, and he still keeps fooling me until now, what the fuck.
After about five or six minutes, all the greatswords finally stopped.
And I also saw Zheng Shuai bend down quickly at the moment when all the giant swords were withdrawn, and I suddenly saw that there seemed to be an automatically opened lattice under his feet, and then he reached out and grabbed it inside, and rolled on the ground to completely block my vision, I quickly staggered my body to see clearly, and I heard Lu Cui pulling me, and then asked me, "Isn't it exciting?" ”
After her interruption, Zheng Shuai had already arrived in front of Jiang Zhao, and his hands were empty, and there was nothing.
Damn it!
I took a deep breath and sneered and said, "yes, it's very exciting, I thought he was going to die." But I didn't expect that this giant sword was also according to the pattern of the Nine Palaces, and it was a very normal Nine Palaces calculation. It's really not as simple as his own ability to die if he didn't die, I guess I've practiced this thing in ordinary times? ”
Lu Cui chuckled, "That's not for sure, but I'm not dead." ”
I glanced at her, and then looked at Jiang Zhao again, this old thing was very calm, and he didn't take anything, just said, "Go." ”
This old thing doesn't care about the tone of my voice at all.
We followed the route Jiang Zhao said before, and walked directly to that side, the walls seemed to be one, but I knew that there must be a secret door on this side, and through this secret door, we could go to the next palace.
Jiang Zhao looked at me and smiled and said, "Don't you bow down? ”
"Bye?"
I was stunned and didn't understand what he was saying, "Worship what?" ”
Jiang Zhao took a flashlight above the wall, and I saw that there was a stone carving on it, a portrait of a person, with long hair fluttering, wearing a Taoist robe, quite fairy.
This is?
Taishang Laojun?
I wondered in my heart that worshipping the Three Qings was something that had been done since the founding of Taoism. But I really didn't expect to see it here.
That's probably why, there's a 'secret for people like us' here.
I didn't want to be played by Jiang Zhao as a monkey, so I smiled and said, "Aren't you also considered a monkey?" Don't you worship? ”
Jiang Zhao smiled, "I have old arms and legs, do you think it's appropriate for me to worship?" ”
He choked me up, and if it were just the two of us, I'd have said, 'What's wrong with that?' Are you old man afraid that one of you will break your knees by kneeling?
But the current situation is obviously my weakest, Zheng Shuai, Wang Yihu and Lu Cui can beat me more than a dozen.
I swallowed a breath of anger, but I actually understood in my heart that there must be a reason for this kneeling. At that moment, according to the most orthodox worship method, he silently recited the prayer sutra in his heart, and at the same time performed three kneeling and nine prostrations. At the last knock on my head, the wall slowly opened, and the moment I looked up, I could clearly see a charm flashing on the ground in front of me, as if it were an illusion.
After all, I also asked God, and the time I fought with Jiang Liming also made me know a lot of things, and now I will not be surprised and surprised when I see anything. On the contrary, I have now come to terms with these things completely, and there is no more fuss about these things for me.
I'm just secretly remembering these things, and I'm going to need to pay more attention to them in the future.
Jiang Zhao was very direct this time, and walked in directly past me, not worried about any danger at all. I think he is still using me, using my luck in the dark, so if this matter is done by me, it will be opened, if it is someone else, not an orthodox Taoist disciple, then this door will be difficult to open.
This is etiquette, and in Taoist thought, etiquette is a very important part.
As soon as we entered, the wall closed automatically, and at the same time there was a muffled sound. I hurriedly looked around with my flashlight, trying to find some clues. Jiang Zhao opened his mouth and said, "Don't think about it, this is the palace." ”
Redemption Palace?
We entered from the Qiangong, and the top of the Qiangong is the palace, so to speak......
Nakanomiya happens to be the last step!
To put it simply, our basic approach now is six, seven, eight, nine, one, two, three, four, and five.
It just so happens that we still have to walk through the nine palaces, although they are all walking in a big square, but we have to go in circles according to the basic way of walking the nine palaces. If you want to go the other way, it is absolutely impossible, and you may not be able to find the location of the middle palace in this life.
After all, although it is said that it is the layout of the Nine Palaces, it is not necessarily the Middle Palace next to us.
If that's the case, then don't forget it, it's better to break the wall than anything.
I asked Jiang Zhao, "Is there anything else dangerous about this palace?" ”
"There's no hurry."
Jiang Zhao looked ahead, there was a stone platform there, and then he led us over.
I went over and saw a few fragments of tortoiseshell.
Jiang Zhao took it in his hand, then closed his eyes, and it took a while to sprinkle all the tortoise shell fragments on the stone platform.
Jiang Zhao's face was a little unsightly, "Settle up, go down, Zeshui is sleepy." ”
He was talking about the I Ching, and I was shocked, this is not a good hexagram.
"The elephant said: Ze has no water, sleepy. The gentleman is fatal. ”
Jiang Zhao whispered, "It seems that our luck is not very good. ”
Poor!
I still know this hexagram, and if we are poor here, then it means that we will eventually run out of water, and when the water and food are exhausted, it will be time to die.
I subconsciously looked back at the place where we came, and at this moment, the walls around me were spinning rapidly, and the mountains shook in an instant, and people who stood on it felt dizzy, and I barely allowed myself to fall. Jiang Zhao was supported by others, otherwise, he would be the first to fall on his heels.
I was anxious that the mechanism had been activated again, and the walls around me were definitely not the same as before, and the light here was very dim, and if we wanted to find any traces, it would be a bit unsatisfactory to rely on a flashlight alone. After a while, the surrounding walls also stopped, and I was still a little distracted, and walked to the place where we came in with my general impression, only to find that it was all one, and there was not even a single gap.
Zheng Shuai shouted, "Old man, what's going on?" ”
Jiang Zhao's face was no longer as calm as before, and I saw that his eyes began to become anxious.
It's only the second house, and we've already encountered such a serious problem.
It's really not how complicated the mechanism is, and just one of them can kill people. If you need to trap us, you don't need any poisoned arrows or greatswords, we all have to lie here.
The food we brought, I'm still very clear.
Even if you count the food on the way back, that's just four days of food and water, if you save a little, you can eat for about six or seven days, but what about after six or seven days?
Surely death!
We're at the bottom of the island now, surrounded by hard rock walls, and even if we were given them, we wouldn't be able to blow them up. But in this situation, what to do next?
I don't know, I haven't been through this kind of thing, so I'm really a little confused.
"Don't panic, if you panic, people are more likely to lose control."
Jiang Zhao whispered, walked to the side and sat down. I think that except for me and Zheng Shuai who are a little anxious, Jiang Zhao, Lu Cui and Wang Yihu are all quite calm.
I walked up to Jiang Zhao and asked him in a cold voice, "Hey, I said, if you know anything, hurry up, if time continues to be wasted, maybe even if we get to the Middle Palace, we won't want to leave here alive." ”
Jiang Zhao smiled, "Young people are young people, what's the hurry?" It's only been a few minutes, don't you even have that patience? ”
