The palace lord asked Tian Ji not to go ahead, she was worried that there was danger on the way to the Holy Palace, and a person carefully probed the mechanism in front, and we walked slowly and finally came to the end of the passage.

It was a pitch-black cave, just wide enough for a person to pass through, and it was about thirty meters long when it shone through with a flashlight.

Gong Jue stopped at the edge of the cave, looked back and forth for a long time, his face was solemn and hesitant, Tian Ji patted Gong Jue's shoulder: "I'm good, why don't you let me go in and explore the way." ”

"This cave is so strange that it can only allow one person to enter and exit, if you go in, you won't even have a place to turn around, no matter how good your skills are, in case of a sudden situation, there is no room for maneuver." The palace lord said worriedly.

"Qing Taizu has arranged too many mechanisms in the Holy Palace, this terrain is so dangerous, it is the best place to set up mechanisms, if I were Qing Taizu, I would definitely not let people pass through here easily." Ye Jiuqing said.

I illuminated both sides of the passage with a flashlight, and found five statues on each side of the stone wall, carved out of the stone wall in relief, dressed in civil attire, with majestic expressions, but with peaceful faces and different postures, but all looking down at the dark passage.

"Who are the carvings on both sides?" Tian Ji thought about it, took off his clothes, wrapped the flashlight in it, and threw it into the passage hard, except for the sound of impact, nothing happened. "Look, it's nothing, just a few broken stone statues, don't worry."

Gong Jue still held Tian Ji's hand tightly, and the flashlight wrapped in clothes in the passage emitted a weak light, saying that the passage was slightly illuminated, and the stone statues on both sides looked particularly strange under the dim light.

"Don't worry, let's see the situation clearly." I told the field chicken to calm down for a while.

Ye Jiuqing stepped forward and looked at the statues on both sides with the help of a flashlight: "Look at the appearance of these stone statues, how familiar they are." ”

"Judging by the posture and appearance, these statues don't look like they are full of people." Turzhan said.

I looked at them one by one, and the first statue on the left was a man sitting in front of the desk in the temple, the man with his eyebrows raised and his mouth open, his head wearing a battle helmet, wearing lead armor, a girdle belt, leather boots, his hands arched in front of his chest, seven or eight bare-eyed, long-haired, hideous-looking, shirtless, and above-naked monsters kneeling on the ground.

On the opposite side of the statue is another person sitting upright, frowning and staring, with long manes on his ears, wearing a square crown and a robe, holding a rosary in front of his knee in his left hand, and a wat in his right hand between his knees.

Looking down, every statue is fierce and terrifying.

"Qing Taizu will not erect a statue here for no reason, there must be his intention." I said calmly. "Whatever these statues represent, they won't be casual decorations."

"Look at what is here, it seems to have words engraved!" Xue Xinrou lowered her head and illuminated the stone slab at the entrance of the cave.

I crouched down and wiped away the dust that had been deposited for hundreds of years with my hands, and sure enough, there were four words on the stone slab at the entrance.

The first division of people and ghosts.

Tian Ji repeated these two lines of words in his mouth, and said disdainfully: "Is this Qing Taizu's brain caught in the door, and there are so many good things to build a holy palace, I think he is the one who scares, I don't believe that these broken stone statues can jump down and eat me." ”

After Tian Ji finished speaking, he stubbornly walked forward, and Turzhan dragged him back, pointing to the passage and said.

"Do you know what this road is called?"

"......" Tian Ji was stunned for a moment and said disapprovingly. Dare Qing Taizu also gave this road a name, but tell me, what kind of road is this? ”

"The first division of humans and ghosts means that standing here is still a human, and walking from here becomes a ghost." Turzhan looked at Tian Ji with a solemn face and said. "This is Huangquan Road!"

Tur Zhan's words were shocking, everyone else looked at each other, and Ye Zhiqiu looked dazed: "How can this be Huangquan Road?" ”

I suddenly looked up and looked at the stone statues on both sides of the passage again, and was immediately surprised: "These statues are no more, no less, just ten, and they are carved with ten halls of enma!" ”

"No wonder I said that it looks familiar, but I didn't expect that Qing Taizu would carve the statue of Hades here" Bai Jin suddenly realized, saying that he believed in Buddhism. "There are ten statues here, from left to right, one hall of King Qin Guang, two halls of King Chujiang, three halls of Emperor Song, to the last ten halls of the wheel king."

Bai Jin pointed to the statue and told us that the Ten Halls of Yama are the ten Yama kings in charge of hell in Buddhism, Yama is a transliteration of Sanskrit, can also be called Yama King, Yama means binding, binding the guilty also, as the master of the underworld, in charge of hell reincarnation, and by him to command the guards of the five mountains.

At the same time, there are also ten halls of hell, and the ten halls are all called the ten kings of the underworld, and the ten kings have their own names, collectively known as the ten halls of Hades.

"This Qing Taizu's posture is really big enough, get the Ten Halls Hades to guard the door for him." Tian Ji frowned and said disdainfully. "Could it be that these broken stone statues can still kill people?"

I pointed to the words on the ground and said calmly: "Huangquan Road is the road of the dead, that is to say, walking from this road will be separated by yin and yang, which is to warn people here that they will die if they walk this road!"

"Could it be that the Qing Taizu is playing tricks, afraid that someone will enter the holy palace and deliberately carve the Ten Halls of Yama at the door to scare people." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"What kind of place should you be, in order to build the Holy Palace, Qing Taizu did not hesitate to conceal the ancestor of the Bai family who helped him win the world, it can be seen that for Qing Taizu, this place is even more important than the world, do you think he will only put a few stones here to pretend?" The palace lord said seriously.

"You might tell if there's a mechanism in there?" I asked the palace lord.

"The stone statue is in the cave, I can't go in, so I can't investigate, but I look at the layout here, there is a chance that it will be set up." Gong Jue said.

Tian Ji walked back and forth at the entrance of the cave a few times, and said anxiously: "It's hard to find this place, it's impossible to just stand at the door and not go in." ”

"Since Qing Taizu left the secret of the Dragon Vein Treasure to Dolgon, and Dolgon opened it here before us, and also retreated with Dorgon, it means that there must be a way to pass, and they can think of it is not a complicated matter." I used a flashlight to look at the passage for a long time. "There is no ropeway on this cave, it is impossible to hang through the air, and you can't walk over it, how should you cross it?"

"It's such a big place, you can't fly, you can't walk, you have to climb over." Bai Jin said distraughtly.

"Crawl over......" Ye Jiuqing was stunned, looked at Bai Jin, and muttered to himself. Crawl over...... Crawl? ”

Bai Jin hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Ye, if you miss you, I will say it casually, you must not be misled by me, this is Huangquan Road, if you go wrong, you will die, I don't know anything about it, you can't listen to what I say." ”

Ye Jiuqing ignored Bai Jin, and hurriedly squatted on the ground to look at the four words again.

"The first division of man and ghost...... It refers to the judgment of life and death in Hades, and the fate of Hades in front of Hades...... Those who come to the underworld are all guilty people, and no one dares to stand in front of the king of Hades to listen to the judgment! ”

"It's kneeling!" Tian Ji said disapplausively next to him.

"Yes!" Ye Jiuqing's eyes lit up and said happily. "On these two sides are the Ten Hall Hades King, you have to kneel over!"

After Ye Jiuqing finished speaking excitedly, he looked at the deep and dark passage, paused silently for a moment, and then took off his coat and handed it to me: "I'll go in first, if it's okay, you can come with me, in case you ......"

"Let me go this time." I didn't pick up the coat handed over by Ye Jiuqing.

"When is it still grinding, who knows if it's right to kneel in the past, if I think wrong, there will be a few more people on this Huangquan Road."

"Tianqi, what are you doing!"

Xue Xinrou's anxious voice interrupted the argument between me and Ye Jiuqing, and when I turned around, I saw that Tian Ji was already kneeling in the cave, kneeling for more than ten meters.

"Silly boy, what are you doing in there, I'm just guessing, if it's wrong, you're going to die!" Ye Jiuqing was taken aback and shouted loudly. "If you have three long and two short, how can I explain to your father."

Tian Jitou didn't reply and continued to kneel and crawl forward: "Someone has to go first, Uncle Ye, it's not me who I said you, I don't know how old you are, just your old arms and legs, if something happens, don't talk about self-protection, I'm worried about whether you can react." ”

"Lao Tzu is not so useless!" Ye Jiuqing was reckless.

"That's enough, he's right, think you're young." I smiled next to me and said to the chicken. "Be careful yourself, don't worry, just follow your current posture and speed."

Tian Ji knelt halfway through, and nothing happened to An's safety.

"I knew that Qing Taizu was just scaring people, he was almost at the end, and he didn't see anything happen." Although Ye Zhiqiu said it easily, she looked like she was sweating for Tian Ji.

Just halfway to the place, Tian Ji has been kneeling for so far, the cat's waist is estimated to be really aggrieved, I want to raise my head to ease my breath, my head has just been raised, and the ten halls of Yama stone statues on both sides are hidden in various places with very exquisite arrow holes, like a rainstorm pear flower needle left and right.

The arrows shot from the stone statue one after another, without stopping, like a rain of arrows shuttling on the head of the field chicken, I can even see several arrows flying against the scalp of the field chicken.

Although these mechanisms have passed for hundreds of years, once the power of the device is undiminished, many arrows have not been caught in the stone, and if they were shot at a person, they would have become hedgehogs.

That's when I realized that the corpses of the soldiers we found before, the steel needles that pierced through the iron armor and submerged into the body, were shot from here.

"Don't look up, keep your current height, hurry up, this is a repeater, it won't stop!" The palace lord said loudly in the back, anxious.

Tian Ji sweated like rain, frightened according to what the palace lord said, knelt to the other side of the passage, as soon as the person passed, he sat on the ground paralyzed, panting and said: "Qing Taizu is also too vicious, such a mechanism can also think of it, just now if I raised my head a little higher......

Tian Ji should have thought of this and felt scared, I watched him in the back Although it was thrilling but unharmed, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and told others again that it must be like Tian Ji's posture to pass, otherwise it will touch the mechanism if it is too high, and when the time comes, ten thousand arrows will surely die.

I went the second time, and the others followed, and when everyone was safely on the other side of the road, I turned around and saw that the passage was already full of holes.
