Chapter 22: The Seven Masters' Plan
When we first entered the cave before, there was nothing in the mountain wall. After that, we walked along the underground river in the center of the cave, and we could not see the surrounding mountain walls. At this time, I walked to the mountain wall on the left, and found that there were carvings and sculptures of different sizes and even a little messy on the mountain wall from somewhere.
"Dragon?!" I took a flashlight and looked closely, only to find that the sculptures on the mountain wall were giant dragons with long and short arms, of different sizes and shapes, which were very spectacular.
"A scaly dragon." The seventh master said softly: "Jiaolong goes to sea, but it is quite meaningful. ”
I looked in the direction of the year, trying to see where these carvings began, and slowly I found that these dragons, no matter their size or shape, have one thing in common, that is, the dragons are facing my side, that is, facing the outside, I don't know what the purpose is.
After walking about thirty steps, I came to the top of the carving, and when I walked back, there was nothing left. In addition to these dragons on the mountain wall, the rest of the carvings are all depicting the life scenes of the Song Dynasty, but also the carving is fine, lifelike, people can't help but give a thumbs up.
"Seventh Master, looking at the direction of these dragon heads, are you prompting us something?" While I was talking to the seventh master not far away, I reached out and gently touched the dragon head in front of me.
It's cold to the touch, but it feels good.
"Hint?" The seventh master smiled: "This is a tomb, will it give us a hint?" The direction of the dragon's head is generally eastward, but now it only means that we have found the right place! Let's go, walk along these sculptures, and you should soon find Yashan Sea Palace. ”
I nodded, and followed the Seventh Master and the others to continue walking forward.
In the whole cave, there was only the sound of our "clicking" footsteps, and the "rustling" sound of water that was no longer audible in the distance. The pace of the crowd is not fast, because in this kind of place, safety is the first priority, and this kind of hundreds of years of tombs in the depths of the sea and seamounts at the bottom of the sea does not know what kind of danger will be hidden.
After walking for about ten minutes, a huge city wall about a foot high suddenly appeared in front of us!
"Wow!" I opened my mouth wide, looked at the huge city wall that spanned the entire cave, and instantly became excited: "This is Yashan Sea Palace!" It's really a palace! ”
"It's really ...... that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to build a huge palace here," Liang Ruoyi sighed on the side: "I really don't understand." ”
"For a Chixiao Sword, it's worth it!" The seventh master smiled: "Let's go, let's go to the city gate in the middle."
Walking along the city wall to the east, in less than ten minutes, we saw a gray-white twin tower gate, each with a dragon and phoenix pillar in front of the twin towers, and two huge black stone gates in the middle, which looked magnificent and amazing.
The four of us stood in front of the city gate, and our hearts were surging - if this Yashan Sea Palace could be developed, it would definitely be even more amazing than the Qin Terracotta Army!
"Xiao Gu?" The seventh master looked at me for a while, and looked at me with a red face.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that the Seventh Master was asking me if there were any evil things nearby, touched the back of my head, and shook my head: "Safe." ”
The Seventh Master answered, and walked towards the stone gate - now that the pig's head is not there, he can only do these tasks. But I've been wondering, the seventh master faced the disappearance of the pig's head, except for some anxious emotions yesterday, he couldn't see anything at all now, it seemed that the pig's head had nothing to do with him. This made me even more suspicious of him, whether the disappearance of the pig's head was true or false, and whether it was agreed in advance?!
I was thinking about it here, but the seventh master over there had already walked in front of the master gate about eight feet high, and he stretched out his hand and pushed it hard, but the stone gate did not move at all.
The three of us also hurriedly walked over, approached and took a flashlight, only to find that the stone door was completely a whole stone except for the two rusty iron knockers, and it was impossible to tell that it was two stone doors that were open at all!
"W-How does this look like a whole stone!" I said, "There's not even a crack in the door, it's just a boulder stuck here, and there are two knockers!" ”
The seventh master smiled bitterly: "No, there should be some mechanism." ”
As he spoke, the seventh master tied the flashlight in his hand to his wrist, took out a piece of blood stone and stuffed it into his mouth, stretched out his arms, held the huge knockers on both sides, and gently pulled it out!
"Hum—"
The strange thing is that these two door knockers were slowly pulled out by the seventh master, and they didn't seem to have any effort. I hurriedly took a flashlight and shone it over, and found that the seventh master pulled out two square stones, and when they were about the size of his head, he couldn't pull them anymore.
Before we could speak, we heard a sound of "brushing" in the darkness in the distance, as if something was flying by, and then there were several muffled sounds of "poof" again, as if the thing had hit the ground!
"What's going on?!" Liang Ruoyi asked with a frown.
Before the seventh master could speak, the stone door in front of him suddenly made a loud "bang", and the dust flew in an instant, and we hurriedly retreated, countless pieces of broken stone flew towards us, I subconsciously hugged my head, and was hit by a few stones, grinning in pain.
After more than ten seconds, the surroundings returned to calm, and the huge stone door in front of us had cracked a fist-sized crack in the door, and there was a black hole inside, and it was impossible to see what was there.
"Seventh Master, shall we go in?" I looked at the seventh master and asked.
The seventh master frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and turned his head to look at the underground river that was divided into two sides in front of the city gate: "No, go back and take a look first, I pulled out these two knockers, it should have touched some mechanism, or be careful." ”
Everyone nodded, turned around to leave, and the seventh master said again: "In order to save time, let's split up into two teams, I and Xiao Gu will walk along the underground river, and Miss Liang and the master team will walk back along the mountain wall, how about it?" ”
"Okay." Liang Ruoyi glanced at me, and then turned around and walked towards the mountain wall where we came, and I followed the Seventh Master along the underground river.
"Seventh Master, do you have something to say?" I saw that Liang Ruoyi had already walked away, so I asked softly.
The seventh master smiled: "Xiao Gu, in the past nearly a year, your growth rate is very fast, when I first met you, I was trembling in everything I did, and I didn't know how to speak, let alone observe words and looks, but now I am much more mature." ”
I smiled wryly: "Don't be sarcastic about me, I will follow you to find trouble with the dead during this time, and it will be difficult to grow up!" ”
"Huh!" The seventh master grinned: "Don't you want to know, where did the pig's head go?" ”
I was stunned, and what I had always suspected in my heart seemed to be true: "Me? Of course I want to know. Presumably, everyone thinks that you and the pig's head have been discussed, and the disappearance of the pig's head is just a predetermined plan between you. ”
"Huh!" The seventh master nodded: "It's a guess!" It's not something we planned in advance, it's an ad hoc plan. ”
"Tentative plans?" I was a little confused: "When was it planned?" Where the hell did the pig's head go? ”
"He's on board." The seventh master said.
"Back on board? Why? "I'm even more puzzled.
"He's waiting for a signal." The Seventh Master slowed down: "After there is a signal, send a message outside." ”
"To whom?" I asked.
"Old clams." As soon as the seventh master's words came out, I was directly stunned!
"Old, old clam?! Didn't the old clam be kidnapped?! ”
"Haha......" The seventh master snorted: "That's right, the old clam was indeed kidnapped, guess who kidnapped the old clam?" ”
We have analyzed before that the person who kidnapped the old clam should be one of Liang Dong and Xu Zeming, in order to let the seventh master give them the Hanjia after getting the complete set of Han armor, and it is possible to continue to work hard for them. Except for the two of them, it is believed that they do not have the courage to kidnap the old clam.
If you choose from these two people, Liang Dong is too mysterious, and even Liang Ruoyi has never seen someone, the seventh master will not trust him so much, so in this way, it may be Xu Zeming?!
But then again, could it be that the kidnapping of the old clam was planned a long time ago?!
