I gasped, and the bullet hit the same place where I had just shown my head.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Old Lady Huang came from outside: "Who let you shoot, angered the mandrills, everyone has to die here!" ”

After his angry shouts died down, another woman's voice said, "Enter the underground palace!" ”

After that, there was a long series of hurried footsteps under the bronze door.

When the footsteps were far away from us, the master breathed a sigh of relief and said to Huang Changsheng, "Call Yulian back, and let's go in later." ”

Huang Changsheng didn't say a word, and immediately walked to the depths of the cave.

My master glanced at Liu Shangang helplessly: "You kid, it's all messing up." ”

Liu Shangang scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I eat a little too much sweet potato at noon." ”

It was only when I wrote this that I remembered that I seemed to be eating roasted sweet potatoes at noon that day, and Liu Shangang has been very good at this bite since he was a child.

A moment later, Huang Changsheng came back with Huang Yulian, who was covered with a lot of mud and held a strangely shaped shovel in her hand.

My master asked her, "How is it, can you open the pathway?" ”

Huang Yulian shook her head with a little helplessness: "No, the zenith of the underground palace is six meters thick obsidian, and without special tools, it is impossible to make a thief hole." ”

Only then did I know that Huang Yulian was not with us before, and it turned out that she had gone to the thief hole.

The master nodded, and then said to Huang Changrong, "Let's see how far those people have gone." ”

Huang Changrong hung a small tree growing on the edge of the cave with a flick of his long whip, and then jumped out of the hole and hung his body upside down on the bronze door.

He looked into the door for a moment, then re-entered the cave with a skillful gesture, and said to my master, "It seems that there is a partition in the underground palace, and now their figures are no longer visible. ”

"Let's go, let's go in too!" As he spoke, Master picked up the rope that Huang Yulian had placed at the entrance of the cave and slid down the edge of the bronze door.

We followed closely behind to the bronze gate, and Huang Yulian took out a few diode-like things from her backpack and distributed them to everyone.

The tube was about a foot long, two fingers thick, and I turned the knob at the bottom of the tube, and the tube lit up with a faint blue light.

I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked Master, "What is this thing for?" ”

Master unscrewed the knob and said to me, "The range of the flashlight is too far away, and it is easy to be discovered by those in front of you. The people of the old Huang family are still full of experience in the rivers and lakes, and they have prepared these things early in the morning. ”

At the moment when the master spoke, Huang Changsheng had already walked into the gate of the underground palace with a lamp.

As soon as he entered, he kept turning the knob of the base of the lamp, and I saw that the light emitted from the lamp became more and more scattered and softer, until the light covered a large area, and the faint light radiating to the lamp was easily overlooked, except for a condensed light on the wick that was easily recognizable by the naked eye.

I looked very hard at Huang Changsheng, and I saw that his entire body looked like it was shrouded in a thin mist of light blue.

After Huang Changsheng entered the underground palace, Huang Yulian and Huang Changrong also went in together, and at the same time twisted the knob at the end of the lamp, making the light thin and ethereal.

The rest of the people did the same, and as everyone gathered at the dark entrance to the dungeon, seven streams of light mingled to illuminate the stone-paved ground.

Huang Changsheng turned his head and beckoned to the person behind him, and then walked towards the depths of the underground palace, and I saw him take out the feng shui compass from his backpack as he walked.

We hadn't gone far, and in the depths of the empty dungeon came the sound of the old lady "chanting a spell", and a moment later, there was another sound of a large number of gears sliding, and because the sound in the dungeon was very good, the sound became extraordinarily clear.

It was only this time that I heard clearly, it seemed to be a myriad of gears turning at the same time, the sound was light and heavy, slow and urgent, and there were some very trivial sounds, as if some kind of metal piece was vibrating slightly.

Although I don't know much about mechanical structures, I can probably guess that there is some kind of extremely short and complex mechanical structure in the gate of the dungeon.

You must know that this underground palace was built in the Guangxu period, and at that time, the machinery manufacturing industry of the Qing Dynasty seemed to be very backward.

Huang Changsheng had already identified the direction of the voice at this time, and he changed the direction of progress while waving to the person behind him.

Even if all the light from the cold light came together, it could only illuminate a small area around us, and in this huge, hollow, and very dark environment, Huang Changsheng seemed to be the only one who could make out the direction, never looking up at the road when he walked, and always staring at the feng shui compass in his hand.

A moment later, the sound of the copper door opening was heard from the place where the sound of the gears had just been remembered, and as soon as the corroded and rusty door panel was moved, the position of the door shaft would emit a very harsh noise.

And I could hear that it was very close to us.

Huang Changsheng raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop.

We waited quietly for a while, and then the footsteps of the mercenaries were heard in front of us, and Huang Changsheng waved to everyone before we continued to move forward.

Because the old lady would hold them back every time the mercenaries opened the door, we could easily catch up with them.

But no matter what, Old Lady Huang is still in their hands after all, if we rashly follow up, Old Lady may be in danger.

Because of this, Huang Changsheng deliberately slowed down, about ten minutes later, we turned into a fork in the road, the space suddenly became narrow after passing through this fork, there is an open copper door in front of us, by the space of the approximation, this door is far from the entrance of the underground palace is not as grand, only more than three meters high and more than two meters wide.

Standing outside the bronze door, we could already vaguely see the flashlight in front of us, but those lights disappeared after a moment, and it seemed that there should be a fork in the road ahead of us.

Huang Changsheng was not in a hurry to move forward, he was prostrate on the ground, as if he was carefully looking for something.

When I saw him crawling on the ground, he would put his nose close to the ground and sniff it from time to time.

When I was wondering, Huang Changsheng suddenly straightened up, took out a plastic bottle from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and spilled some unclear color liquid on the ground.

I saw some shimmering words quickly appear on the ground: "Wait for the fifth door to open." ”

It seems that these words should have been left by Mrs. Huang, and Huang Changsheng obviously knew that Mrs. Huang would leave us some signals.

Huang Changsheng erased the words on the ground and entered the second bronze door with a feng shui plate.

I heard Huang Lao Tian say before, there are five Jinding monks, corresponding to the five gates in the underground palace, we walked while listening to the movement ahead, with the help of Huang Lao Tian, those mercenaries opened four bronze doors successively, but after that, there was no movement.

We don't know what the old lady meant by letting us wait for the last door to open, but since he left such a signal, it means that the fifth gate is probably different from the first four.

After entering the fourth gate, we extinguished the cold light in our hands.

Shortly after we turned off the lights, there was a light ahead, a somewhat erratic yellow light, what seemed to be some kind of fire.

As soon as the light came on, I saw a low wall about two meters high not far in front of me, and the light was coming from the other side of the wall.

Against the wall was a bronze square table, on which lay a dusty whisk and a folded robe.

The master stepped forward and gently brushed the dust off the robe with his hand, and saw a dragon-shaped embroidery leaking into the air, the master was also surprised, and he brushed some of the dust off the robe until the claws of Longxing embroidery were revealed, and the surprise on the master's face receded, replaced by a worried expression.

Many people's eyes fell on the dragon robe, including Huang Changsheng and Huang Changrong, the two of them and my master, after seeing the dragon claw, the expressions on their faces became very strange.

But in this case, no one spoke.

Huang Changrong sneaked to the other side of the low wall to take a look, and then quietly returned, beckoning to us and motioning for us to follow him.

After leading us around the low wall, he pointed to a stone pier not far away, which were a dozen or so in a row, and they looked like the base of some kind of architectural support, each of which was about the height of mine.

Huang Changrong motioned for us to hide behind the stone pier, and then he suddenly dodged and rushed into a shadow not far from us.

I looked towards Huang Changrong and saw a very wide stone pillar standing in front of him, and the shadow was the projection left by the light shining on the stone pillar.

And between us and the shadow, there is a clearing that is directly illuminated, we don't have Huang Changrong's fast body, if you rush to the shadow, it is easy to be discovered.

Huang Changrong also shook his head at us at this time, signaling us not to go over.

Mrs. Huang, they can be said to be close to us at this time, and when we hide behind the stone pier, we can hear him arguing with a mercenary.

I heard Old Lady Huang shouting: "Use the golden-topped monk to make a drum stick to hit the yin and yang drum, and the last door will appear." ”

I heard the mercenary respond: "You give me the yin and yang drum, and I will open the door." ”

"To you? Did it work? Who can't beat the drums, but you can't do the ritual, and you can't open the door. Old lady Huang said: "It's the last door, can't you still believe me?" ”

The mercenary was silent for a while, and then said, "You give me the technique of doing the ritual, and I will do the ritual, and I will also beat the drum." ”

Old lady Huang smiled: "It seems that you just can't trust me." If you want to learn, there is actually no problem, but this kind of ritual is done, every movement, every look must be done exactly the same, I teach you easy, you have to learn, but it is difficult. Hehe, don't forget, after noon tomorrow, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array will take effect. At that time, none of us will be able to get out of this mountain. ”
