After passing through the other side of the dead, there is another stone room, and from the records of the Demon Kingdom left by the Witch Gu King, we are still the last level away from the Demon Kingdom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is a passage carved directly into the mountain, but except for the main road that runs through the north and south, it is surrounded by intricate caves, like a labyrinth built by man, but in fact this labyrinth has no meaning or function at all.

For we could have walked along the straight main road, and all the way unobstructed, until we stopped in a small stone chamber, blocked by a stone door in front of it.

There were a lot of strange patterns on the stone door, but they were all choppy and incoherent, and I don't know what they meant, but there was an erected stone crack in the middle, which looked like something should be inserted into it.

There are staggered caves around the stone chamber, and it is not known where these caves lead, but they are clearly man-made.

"The structure of the mountain here is loose, and it is undoubtedly dangerous to dig so many caves at the bottom." The palace lord walked to one of the caves to check.

"Then why are you digging these caves?" Huang Ping asked.

"It's not far from the Demon Kingdom here, the closer you get to the Demon Kingdom, the tighter the defense must be, since you have to dig these caves at the risk of the mountain collapsing, it can be seen that there must be a very important reason." Ye Jiuqing's face was calm.

Gong Jue asked Tian Ji to take out the rope from his backpack and tie it to his body, intending to enter the cave to find out.

"I'll go with you." Tian Ji said.

"It's dangerous when there are too many people, so I wanted to investigate the construction of these caves, and maybe find out why they were built here." Gong Jue shook his head and said with a stern expression. "And we don't have much time left, and if someone gets trapped inside, there won't be time to rescue them."

"There are so many caves, it won't help you to go in alone, since I am the chosen one by God, I believe that God will not let me die here for no reason." I loosened the rope from the palace lord and said. "There is still an organ ahead, your role is indispensable, or I will go."

The others still wanted to argue, but my face sank and I accentuated: "I'm going to explore the cave, not to die, what's there to fight about?" ”

"Be careful yourself." Gong Jue nodded calmly and tied the rope to me with his own hands. "If it doesn't feel right, pull the rope and we'll pull you back."

I nodded, took a deep breath and walked into the cave with a torch, just as the same palace lord speculated, in the firelight I could clearly see the obvious traces of excavation in the cave, at first it was a straight passage, and gradually there was a fork in the road in front of the cave, I chose a random one to continue on.

There were more and more forks in the road, as if it were a man-made labyrinth, and I could easily get lost in it, and I would not have found my way back without the rope on my body.

I was going to be able to walk a little further inside, but the rope was already taut, and there were all intricate forks in front of me, and after hesitating for a long time, I didn't dare to continue rashly, so I could only follow the rope back to the stone chamber.

"What's in there?" Seeing that I went back safe and sound, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Jiuqing asked intently.

"There is no light inside, and it is pitch black all around, and you can't see everything inside with the help of torches, but the forks in the caves are so complicated that you can get lost if you are not careful, but I really don't see the purpose and reason for the construction of these caves." I answered in great detail.

"What's special in there?" The palace lord asked solemnly.

"The rope is only that long, and I haven't gone much deeper, but from the caves I've seen, there's nothing out of the ordinary." I shook my head in the affirmative.

"What's the matter, let's find a way to get out of here first." Tian Ji was still squatting in front of the closed stone gate, staring intently at the stone crack in the middle. "There can't be any mechanism in there, right?"

Gong Jue walked up, pressed his hand on the stone door, calmed his breath for a long time, frowned and shook his head in surprise: "It's strange, there is no mechanism set up here." ”

"And what is this crack for?" Xue Xinrou asked.

Gong Jue carefully touched the edge of the stone crack with his fingertips, and his brow furrowed even tighter: "The stone crack is very smooth around it, it doesn't look like it is naturally formed, and it is obviously polished. ”

I squatted in the crack of the stone to look inside, the torch in my hand could not shine into the gap, and I couldn't see the depth of the gap, the width of the crack was very narrow, Huang Ping walked up and pulled out the Miao knife on his body: "Why don't you try the depth inside?" ”

Gong Jue actually said that there was no mechanism, we looked at each other, and nodded in unison, Ye Zhiqiu took the Miao knife, and carefully inserted it from the crack in the stone, and the gap was very deep from the blade of the knife.

Click!

With the sound coming from the crack in the stone, Ye Zhiqiu was surprised by the movement in Ting's hand, and the palace lord suddenly looked shocked: "Organ!" ”

"Didn't you say there was no mechanism inside the stone gate?" I was taken aback.

Gong Jue pulled Ye Zhiqiu and told us to step back at the same time, and then said in a shocked voice: "The stone wall is too thick, and there is indeed no mechanism at the distance that his palm can perceive, but the mechanism is hidden in the deepest part of the gap, presumably Zhiqiu used the Miao Knife to trigger the mechanism." ”

We looked around with each other, and suddenly the caves around the stone chamber quickly closed, and we were trapped in the stone chamber.

Rumble!

There was a deafening roar overhead, and I looked up and saw that the top of the stone chamber was actually moving, suspended by a huge rock, which had been very high before, and now with the roar, the boulder fell like Mount Tai crushing down, less than three meters above my head.

"This is the last level to the Demon Kingdom!" Wen Ru tilted his head and his voice trembled. "The last mechanism recorded in the ancient books should be here, but there is no record of believing it either."

I looked up at the boulder above my head that coincided with the stone chamber, and my eyes moved to the stone crevice where the Miao knife was still inserted, it was obvious that the mechanism here was already clear at a glance, Ye Zhiqiu inadvertently triggered the mechanism, if we made another mistake, the boulder hanging above our heads would fall.

In this enclosed stone chamber, we don't have any place to hide, which means that we will be smashed into pulp in an instant.

"Gotta pull out the knife." Tian Ji probably guessed the key to this organ.

"Can't pull it out!" The palace lord shouted to stop.

"Why?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"The mechanism of the stone gate here is very clever, in order to prevent someone from breaking the mechanism here, so the mechanism is in the depths of the stone gate, and I can't even see it, let alone crack it."

"What then?" Ye Jiuqing asked.

"Do you see that crack in the stone door?" Gong Jue raised his hand and pointed at the stone gate and said.

"Is there a mystery in the stone crack?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"Actually, the mechanism here is very simple, the stone gate is the same as the door we usually see, and it is not difficult to open the stone gate." Gong Jue replied with a solemn expression.

"Isn't it difficult? So do you know how to turn it on? I hurriedly asked.

"Yes, of course I know how to turn it on, and anyone can turn it on, but there's one thing I'm missing." The palace lord sighed heavily.

"What's that?"

"If there was an ordinary door in front of you, how would you open it?" The palace lord looked at us and asked.

"The key, of course, is opened with a key." Tian Ji replied disapprovingly.

"Yes, it's with a key, and that stone crack is actually a keyhole, a place where the key is inserted, and as long as you find the key, you can open the stone door." Gong Jue spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Keys?" I frowned and looked around, but there was nothing in the stone chamber.

"No need to look for it, the key to open the stone door is not here!" The palace lord shook his head affirmatively.

"Why?" Ye Jiuqing's face was solemn.

The palace lord told us worriedly that the stone gate was actually a very special door, and the so-called mechanism was to set a lock on the stone door, and only a specific key could open the lock.

But unlike other doors, if you use the wrong key or try to break the lock, the consequences are ......

Gong Jue said this, raised his hand and pointed to the top of our heads, I immediately understood, the consequences are self-evident, using the wrong method to open this door, just like before Zhiqiu used a Miao knife to insert, but as long as it is not the right key, it will trigger the mechanism.

If we pull out the knife now, the boulder hanging above our heads will fall immediately.

"The Witch Gu King didn't leave a record of the key to unlock this place in the ancient books?" I hurriedly turned around and asked Wen Ru.

"No, the closer you get to the Demon Kingdom, the more ambiguous the records in the ancient books become, this matter has bothered me for a long time, since the Witch Gu King has been in and out of the Demon Kingdom many times, he must know every organ well, I still don't understand why the records he left about the organs are so incomplete." Wen Ru shook his head and replied.

"The reason is very simple, the Witch Gu King entered and exited the Demon Kingdom, not because he opened these mechanisms, but because God allowed him to enter, so these mechanisms were opened by the gods, of course, the gods would not let him know the details and keys of these mechanisms." When I think back to the mechanisms we had experienced, it dawned on me. "The Witch Gu King has just experienced too many times, and he can vaguely remember some things that he can see, so the descriptions left in the ancient books are only a few words."

"It's over!" Tian Ji's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"The palace lord is right, there is no way we can find the key." Tian Ji said loudly.

"Why are you so sure?" Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback.

"Nonsense, what a simple thing, the key to your house will be left at the gate casually." Tian Ji replied seriously.

I was stunned, what Tian Ji said really made sense, the demon country is the tomb of the ancestral god, and the key to open this stone gate must be in the hands of the ancestral god, every time the witch Gu King enters and exits here, it will only be the ancestral god who opens the stone gate, which means that we have no way to pass through here.
