Chapter 39: Entering the Main Hall

"Whew-whew-"

In the darkness, Liang Ruoyi and I each gasped for breath, listening to the dead vine on the other side of the door still pounding against the iron door. It is estimated that this iron gate was also set up for defense at that time, and we were originally unlucky to get into the lair of the dead vine from the ground, but we didn't expect to rescue the seventh master by chance, and ran out of this iron gate......

The flashlight illuminated the road ahead for us, and at this time, we were in a long corridor, and the flashlight turned into a strong light past, and we could see the same iron gate not far away.

"Get out first!"

Liang Ruoyi said that he was about to leave, but was stopped by me: "Wait a while, let's see how the Seventh Master is doing, go out now, I don't know what the situation will be outside, if it is worse than here, wouldn't the Seventh Master be more dangerous." ”

Anyway, Liang Ruoyi generally followed the opinions I put forward, although these opinions once made her lose a finger and almost die in the hands of the water drifter, but she still trusted me. I suddenly remembered the "brain-dead fan" in my favorite anime "One Piece", and I felt that Liang Ruoyi was quite similar to him, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?!" As soon as Liang Ruoyi nodded in agreement, he saw me laugh and asked with a frown.

"No, it's fine." I hurriedly gently put the seventh master flat on the ground, reached out to probe his nose, felt that it was still very stable, hurriedly took out a bottle of water from his backpack and opened it, poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, gently pressed his chest a few times, and soon, he slowly woke up.

"Seventh Master, are you okay?" I asked.

"Xiao Gu......" The seventh master opened his eyes, saw me and Liang Ruoyi, nodded slightly, and reached out to touch his head: "Alas, I remember, remember that I was entangled by those dead vines, I didn't die?" ”

"Of course not." I smiled bitterly: "Liang Ruoyi and I accidentally entered the tunnel made by those dead vines outside, but I didn't expect to see you by chance, and hurriedly dragged you out." ”

"Huh-" The seventh master breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Thank you two, before my consciousness disappeared, I really thought I was going to die here, there were too many, these dead vines were rushing towards me like flowing water, and I couldn't hide at all." ”

"How long?" Liang Ruoyi took out bread and water from his bag and handed them to the seventh master, and asked.

"I don't know." The seventh master took the bread and smiled bitterly: "I don't even know what ...... it is now."

"Where's the Bag Master?" I suddenly remembered the old monk.

"When you went to the city gate, Miss Liang and I, as well as Master Budai, also separated." The seventh master looked really hungry, and took a big bite of the bread that he didn't like to eat: "After that, I entered the city, and when I was avoiding the pursuit of the drifter, I don't know why I fell into a tunnel, and then I was chased by those dead vines, and later, I was surrounded......"

Obediently, it turned out that the seventh master didn't know how to step on the tunnel dug by the dead vine underground, and it was estimated that in order to avoid the water drifter, he simply crawled forward in the tunnel, but he didn't expect to avoid the water drifter and encountered a more troublesome dead vine. If it weren't for me and Liang Ruoyi entering that room by various coincidences this time, the Seventh Master would really be more auspicious......

"I wonder if the Bag Master will be in trouble." I muttered.

At this time, those dead vines were still constantly attacking the iron gate, but no matter how powerful they were, they were just a plant, and it was impossible to break through the iron gate in a short time.

After the seventh master had eaten and rested for a while, and his physical strength had almost recovered, we got up and walked towards the iron gate opposite.

It seems that the way these dead vines kill people is to wrap him, restrain his movements, and make him starve to death, I wonder if the flesh of such a dead person is more tender......

"Squeak-"

Liang Ruoyi glanced at me and the Seventh Master, reached out and grabbed the handle of the iron door, and gently pulled it away.

It was dark outside, and I and the Seventh Master took a flashlight to shine it, just a glance, and I said excitedly: "We're out!" This is the main hall of the Upper Palace! ”

Less than two feet away from us, I saw the two open vermilion lacquer doors clearly, and they were very familiar. I hurriedly ran over, stood inside the door and looked out, and sure enough, under the dragon road outside, was the circular square where Liang Ruoyi and I fell.

The vermilion lacquer door, which had been tightly closed, had been opened, indicating that one of the monks with a pig's head or a cloth bag had already entered.

At that time, when Liang Ruoyi and I fell, I once felt a chill in the back of my head, and I also heard the screams of the pig's head.

I glanced at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed that I was going to rest in the main hall today.

Turning around, the Seventh Master and Liang Ruoyi were holding flashlights to observe the main hall of the upper palace. I turned my head and saw that the door we had just entered was in a corner of the main hall, and it was very inconspicuous.

From a glance, the indoor area of the entire main hall should be sixty or seventy square meters, which is very large. Stepping through the tall threshold under the vermilion lacquer gate, there is a white jade dragon road about six feet wide, which extends more than two zhang until it reaches the front of the dragon platform. There are still sculptures on both sides of the dragon road, but it is different from the outside, the sculptures here are all civil and military generals, all with serious expressions, respectful faces, neat movements, all facing the dragon platform, doing worship.

Other than that, there's nothing superfluous in sight. The Seventh Master and Liang Ruoyi looked at each other, but found nothing, and returned to the side of the Dragon Road, looking at the sculptures on both sides.

I suddenly remembered something, walked up to the sculpture and reached out and touched it: "Wet!" Seventh Master, I have found dampness and even oozing water droplets in many places, what is the reason for this? ”

Hearing this, the Seventh Master smiled bitterly: "I have also encountered it before, according to what you and Miss Liang just said, I know that the entire Yashan Sea Palace is actually a huge lair of the Dead Man's Vine. The dead vines themselves like water, and the mountain is originally in the sea, so the places where these dead vines are located will be damp or have water droplets seeping out. ”

Hearing this, Liang Ruoyi involuntarily took a step back, pointed to the sculpture in front of him and asked, "There are also these?" ”

"All I can say is that there were." The Seventh Master shrugged: "Whether there is one now, I don't know." ”

"Come on." Liang Ruoyi glanced at me: "Let's go to the dragon platform and have a look, maybe we can sit on the dragon chair." ”

"The dragon chair is not a good thing." I joked as I followed Liang Ruoyi along the dragon road to the side of the dragon platform: "Remember in the underground dragon veins of Jilin City, that dragon chair ...... Wait a minute! There's something! ”

As soon as I walked four or five steps, I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head, and hurriedly reached out to pull Liang Ruoyi, and all three of them stopped.

Liang Ruoyi and I are a one with a piece of blood stone in his mouth, that disgusting smell, and now we have long been used to it, and there is a medicine called condensation grass in the blood stone, which dissolves very slowly in the mouth, so we simply didn't take it out and swallowed it for several hours.

As soon as the seventh master heard that there was something, he hurriedly touched it on his body, and at this time his backpack was gone, but there were still a few hundred blood stones on his body, and he took out one and stuffed it into his mouth.

I took the flashlight and shone it forward, and went up along the white jade dragon road, and soon saw the dragon platform more than a zhang away from us.

On top of the dragon platform stood a statue, bowing and raising his hands above his head, as if to present something to the emperor. Looking up along the legs of the chair, my little heart suddenly "popped", and the other two instantly gasped - a pair of human feet, hanging on the side of the chair legs, motionless.
