Chapter 128: Exploration
"Wait, I'll go over there. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tang Xiaojun threw the gatekeeper into the grass, turned around and said a word to the others, and ran to the other side without stopping, wanting to see the hole where he could talk, in case he could get in from that side.
Tang Xiaojun hurriedly ran over, but saw the companion of the gatekeeper just now.
When this person saw someone coming, he stopped very cautiously, but when he saw that this person was Tang Xiaojun, he relaxed, and just wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't expect that Tang Xiaojun didn't stop, and rushed directly to his eyes.
Under his frightened expression, Tang Xiaojun's expression was very calm, his movements were very fast, and he gently slapped the back of his neck, which immediately made him faint.
After walking a little further, Tang Xiaojun found the call hole, but this call hole was just a small hole the thickness of an arm, and it was impossible to enter the interior of the mountain through this hole.
In desperation, Tang Xiaojun had no choice but to return along the same route.
"How?"
Tang Xiaojun shook his head, turned to look at the mountain wall, his face was slightly ruthless, obviously he wanted to hit its attention, since there was no other way, he had to use violence to solve it.
"Wait!" He Peizi spoke out in time to stop it.
"What? Do you have a way? Tang Xiaojun asked with an unkind face.
"Don't worry, the people inside should already know that you are here by now, in this case, whether they are willing to let us in or not, they will definitely send someone out to deal with it, if there are no other entrances and exits, then this door will definitely open."
Tang Xiaojun was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, feeling that what He Peizi said made some sense.
"Okay, then let's wait and see."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a large piece of mountain wall to suddenly protrude and slowly move to the side, revealing an iron gate inside, and then the iron gate slowly opened.
As soon as Tang Xiaojun raised his hand, he motioned for them to hide on the side first, ready to wait for the people inside to come out, and immediately restrained him.
"Tang Xiaojun, I know you're nearby, come out."
Surprisingly, the iron door was opened, but the man did not come out, but directly began to shout to him.
"Lao Guo?"
Tang Xiaojun roughly heard that it was Guo Daming's voice, but he was a little unsure, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the people inside really didn't come out, so he spoke.
"Xiaojun, come here."
"It's really you, Lao Guo."
Tang Xiaojun no longer hidden, and walked out generously, seeing that the person who spoke was indeed Guo Daming, but his face didn't look very good, a little pale, but there was no injury on his body, it seemed that he didn't lie with black teeth.
"Xiaojun, I know the purpose of your visit, I can take you in, but they can't do it yet." Guo Daming looked at Tang Xiaojun calmly and said.
"Why not?" Tang Xiaojun immediately asked, his expression grim.
"Because their identity is not enough." Guo Daming was unusually calm, and then explained: "As you all know, this is the core secret of our Iron and Stone City, and it is also the foundation of our foothold, and it must not be leaked out. ”
"They are all my brothers, and I believe in them."
Guo Daming shook his head and said, "I also believe in them, but the rules are the rules, but ・・・・・・"
"But what?"
"However, once you've seen it, you can choose whether you want to tell them or not."
Guo Daming originally didn't want to say this, but he still said it when he saw Tang Xiaojun's appearance.
Tang Xiaojun thought about it when he heard this, and this is indeed the truth, as long as he goes in to confirm the truth of the matter, and tells them when he comes out.
"What do you think?" Tang Xiaojun turned around and asked Hou Dawei and the others.
"Brother Jun, if you go in alone, will it be dangerous?" Hou Dawei said with some concern.
"It's okay, I'll be careful."
looked at the others, and they didn't speak, so Tang Xiaojun took them as a default.
"Then you guys wait here, I'll come out as soon as possible."
After speaking, Tang Xiaojun walked in, and then, the iron gate slowly closed back again, and the mountain wall was moved back to its original position.
Guo Daming nodded at Tang Xiaojun and walked in first.
At this time, it was pitch black all around, and Tang Xiaojun hadn't adapted to it for a while, except for a little light at the end of the passage, he could hardly see anything else, so he had to quickly follow.
To Tang Xiaojun's surprise, the passage was not long, and within two minutes, the two of them reached the end, but this exit was a little small, and it could only accommodate one person in and out.
As soon as he walked out of this passage, Tang Xiaojun found that there was a small space inside, with a large stove in the middle, and a large bellows on the side of the stove, which was similar to the kind of ordinary blacksmith shop.
However, Tang Xiaojun's attention was not on these things, and he was not interested in the iron-striking process, so he only glanced at it a few times, and found no abnormalities, so he ignored it.
"Lao Guo, where is Shen Jiacheng?" Tang Xiaojun asked.
Guo Daming didn't answer, and he saw that Tang Xiaojun didn't dare to be interested in this, so he didn't stay here, he walked directly to the opposite side, bent down, and didn't know what he did, but a small door was opened on the wall.
Seeing Guo Daming walk in, Tang Xiaojun hurriedly followed. This time, the situation of the passage is much more complicated than before, twisting and turning, and there are many forks, if you let people who do not know the route come in, they will definitely be dizzy, and they will not be able to find the north.
I don't know how many turns he turned, Tang Xiaojun finally saw an exit appear in front of him, and he could see bright light shining in from the exit.
Finally about to go out, these short and narrow passages really made him feel depressed, Tang Xiaojun hurriedly walked a few steps, but at this moment, his face suddenly became serious, and at the same time he stopped and shrugged his nose a few times, he smelled some blood.
"What's wrong?"
Guo Daming had already reached the exit, and when he turned around, he saw Tang Xiaojun stop and look at him with a frown.
"Hehe, nothing."
Tang Xiaojun's eyes rolled, and suddenly turned into a smiling face, and without saying the doubts in his heart, he walked over quickly.
As soon as I stepped out of the passageway, there was a rather large space, at least five or six times larger than the previous blacksmith shop, and a huge stove was also placed in the middle.
Tang Xiaojun secretly thought, I am afraid this is the real place to forge weapons, and after looking carefully, he did not find anything abnormal, but when he looked up again, he was startled.
I saw that there was an iron pot hanging above the stove, large enough to hold a whole person, and the edge of the iron pot was connected to these iron chains, which were fixed to the wall by a pulley on the top.
In addition, Tang Xiaojun also saw several large iron hooks, which were also connected to iron chains.
You can imagine a scene where something hung from the iron hook, and several people pulled the chain, slowly lifted it, and put it into the cauldron.
The key thing is that Tang Xiaojun can now be sure that the smell of blood that he smelled before is emanating from these few things.
