Tian Ji and I slapped Gong Jue on the head almost at the same time, the psychological quality is too poor, and this is just the point, I was actually scared stupid, Han Jin urged us in front, the end of the passage is an upward step, and it is also rotated, and it should be able to lead to the top of the golden gate.

Along the way, under the light of the flashlight, as I had guessed, the whole palace was made of ice, and it seemed that they had been carefully calculated, and even the width of each step was exactly the same.

Judging from the ice gate and the mechanism of the passage before, the builders did not want anyone to disturb the silence of the palace, because they were afraid that there would be other mechanisms along the way, the palace lord and we walked in the front, and the palace lord was engrossed in every suspicious place along the way, and we walked all night on the low steps.

When the palace slowly becomes crystal clear, it should be the sunlight shining in the crevices that are not covered by snow, and the refracted light makes the entire ice palace brighter.

I vaguely heard the sound of water flowing in front of us, the more we walked forward, the clearer it became, when we walked the last step, there was a wide ice room in sight, but there was nothing, we walked along the ice room, and finally stopped at a huge pool, which should be more than ten meters wide, the water in it was not static, from our current position, it should be flowing from west to east.

On each side of the pool was a bronze beast head, the head had two horns and angry eyes, and the face was hideous, and two streams of water gushed out from the beast's mouth and poured into the pool.

Looking at the shape of the bronze beast, it should be the legendary ancient divine beast of Kunlun Mountain, Bai Ze.

The description of this divine beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas is very clear, the whole body is snow-white, can speak human words, through the feelings of all things, rarely haunts, unless there is a saint in the world to govern the world, only to come to the book, often with the unicorn or phoenix, etc., regarded as a symbol of the ruler of high virtue to rule the world, is a kind of auspicious beast.

To get to the opposite side, you have to cross this pool, which is supposed to be connected to the river below the glacier.

Han Jin nodded, and the person next to him immediately put down his bags, took out the rope and tied it around his waist, the water flow here is not very fast, and the pool is only more than ten meters, it seems that Han Jin let this person swim over first, and fix the rope for the rest of the people to pass.

The man was ready to jump into the pool, just swam out less than three meters, suddenly heard a short scream, the sound was not even fully released, the clear river in the pool suddenly turned a blood red, the man stared at the expressionless rolling in the pool, the whole person seemed to be swallowed by something, and sank quickly.

Tian Ji and the others immediately raised their guns, and there seemed to be something in the pool, and it was not long before we saw the man floating again in the blood-red pool, but it was no longer complete, and his body was broken into pieces.

Han Jin asked people to pull the mutilated body up from the pool, there was an obvious cutting surface on the wreckage, but the incision was unusually smooth and flat, as if it was cut off by an extremely sharp thing, I began to think that there was some monster in this pool, that person was bitten like this, and it was definitely not a trace left by the bite from the incision.

"There are mechanisms under the water, it should be some kind of extremely sharp blade, and the number is not small, it will keep rotating under the drive of the current, like a knife that keeps cutting, these mechanisms that rely on the flow of water are like a huge strangulation, and anyone who falls into it will be torn apart." Gong Jue said as he looked at the wreckage on the ground.

"This pool is used to prevent people who enter the palace from reaching the other side." The field chicken involuntarily squirmed the Adam's apple. "Since the mechanism below is propelled by the flow of water, cutting off the water here will stop the mechanism."

"Don't you think this Kunlun Golden Gate is very strange, what is the reason for building such a large palace, and why do you want to set up so many organs if you live in it?" I frowned, thought for a moment, and muttered to myself. "It's clear that the owner doesn't want anyone to enter, so what's in this palace?"

"There's something here." Someone shouted in the corner.

We used to see a winch, and the palace lord said that this winch should be to control the flow of water, and once there is no impact of the water, the mechanism in the river will stop.

Han Jin immediately asked people to push the winch together, the mechanism was very cleverly designed, the winch column slowly rotated under their push, and a low sound came out from the mouth of the bronze Bai Ze on the left and right, and the water flow in the mouth of the beast head slowly became smaller until it stopped completely.

The tumbling water in the pool gradually calmed down, and through the clear water, we finally saw the design of the entire pool, which was equipped with countless blades as sharp as gears, and these blades rotated rapidly under the impact of the current.

Even after thousands of years, these blades have not shown any signs of rust, and still glow with a touching cold light in the river, and the distribution of these blades is obviously carefully designed, and there is no blind spot in the entire pool, and it is impossible for anyone to survive if they fall into it.

Even if the flow of water in the mouth of the beast head was stopped, but the sharp blades in the pool did not stop rotating, Gong Jue lay on the edge of the pool and looked at it for a long time and said, the pool is about more than ten meters deep, and there are channels on both sides to connect to the underground river, unless the passage to the west is blocked and the river water is not allowed to enter, otherwise these rotating blades will not stop.

The water from the beast's mouth splashed in the pool, causing the originally clear water surface to ripple continuously, making it impossible to see the mechanism below, which was just a ploy to mislead the trespassers here, and had nothing to do with closing the mechanism in the pool.

"What is here?" My eyes fell on the palace lord's hand.

A groove was revealed in the gap between his fingers, and the palace lord removed his hand, and we saw a boxy hole in the bronze casting pool, and the palace lord slowly poked his hand in, and there was a vertical piece in the middle of each of the holes, which felt as if it could move, and there should be something in this hole, which coincided with these vertical pieces.

"This may be the place to shut down the pool mechanism." Gong Jue stood up and said calmly. "I don't know what to put in there, though."

When Han Jin heard that it could be turned, he asked someone to use a tool to try to forcibly twist it, but the groove did not move at all, and the palace lord hurriedly stopped it, it was the only mechanism that could pass through the pool, and once it was damaged, with the equipment we are carrying now, we would never think about it.

"Didn't you discover the rules of the construction of this ice palace, the ice door must be opened from the outside, and the ice wall that closes the passage must also be shattered with the help of bronze bells." Gong Jue said.

"That is to say, once we enter the Ice Palace, it is a road that only advances and does not retreat, and it is impossible to return to the places we have passed." I nodded in realization. "If we can't get through the pool, we'll be stuck here until we starve to death......"

"These grooves should be ......," Tian Ji squatted next to the boxy hole, tilting his head and muttering to himself. I feel like there's something that fits in with this place. ”

"What's that?" I walked over and asked.

"I can't think of it, but it should be a boxy ......"

Tian Ji said halfway down, slowly raised his head and rolled his eyes a few times, put his hand into his clothes, and when he took it out again, there was already a bronze dragon horse.

Gong Jue and I were stunned, this is the bronze dragon horse we found in the underground altar of the Aoki River, when I found it, I felt that this bronze dragon horse should still be placed on something, and the groove on the base of the bronze dragon horse just corresponds to the vertical piece in the hole.

I slowly put down the bronze dragon horse, and it was just the same size, and I held the dragon horse on it and twisted it hard, and it really twisted it.

There was a thud in the pool, and we hurriedly retreated, and the water in the pool descended rapidly, and the sharp and rotating blades also sank, and a huge ice turtle floated up from the bottom of the pool, just connecting the two sides of the pool.

This bronze dragon horse turned out to be the key to closing the mechanism here, but I quickly realized another thing, the palace lord said that once you enter the ice palace, you can only advance and not retreat, and we didn't find the corpses along the way, which means that those who came here forty years ago have already passed through the pool.

If that's the case, then they must have brought this bronze dragon horse with them at the time, but the bronze dragon horse was found by us at the underground altar, and the bronze dragon horse is the key to the mechanism, so there can't be two such things.

Suffice it to say two things.

First, someone left Kunlun Jinque alive.

Second, the departing man also put the bronze dragon horse back to the underground altar.

But I really can't understand why the key in the Kunlun Golden Gate, which was built even older, appeared in the altar of the Qin Dynasty, and why the person who got the bronze dragon horse put it back.

"Someone knows that we will come to Kunlun Jinque!" Tian Ji's expression was surprised.

I looked at each other, this is the only reasonable explanation, I have not been able to figure out before, what is the purpose of the person who led us to the Aoki River to find the underground altar, now it seems that this person should know that we will be here, and he wants us to get the bronze Ryoma in advance.

"Could it be the mysterious gold lord?" Gong Jue lowered his voice.

I shook my head, it will definitely not be the gold master, if he doesn't have to work hard at all, I can see that the gold lord is eager to get something in the ice palace, and Liu Tian was killed just by hearing about Sui Hou Zhu, it can be seen that the gold lord does not want the secret to be leaked, let alone use Ye Zhiqiu to make the underground altar of Aoki River public.

There is another person who guided us to the Aoki River, and the only one who can know now is that this person knows Kunlun Jinque very well, and must have been here!
