While everyone was still carefully observing the two statues of the divine beasts, a bell suddenly rang from outside the palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bells? What's going on! Who's ringing the bell! Wang Qing looked at everyone and said.
"Go out and have a look!" The big bald head led the people to the gate of the palace and looked out.
I saw that there was no figure in the square outside the palace, and there was still only a bronze bell, a huge stone gate and an ancient well.
"Where did the bell come from? If no one rings the bell, it is impossible for the bell to ring! It's weird, isn't it? The big bald head touched his head, very puzzled.
At this moment, a bell sounded in the square, and now the big bald head and others finally heard it clearly, and the bell came from the bronze ancient bell in the square, because the big bald head and others saw that the bronze ancient bell seemed to have been hit by something, and then began to swing, and then the bell sounded.
"! There are ghosts! The bell would ring on its own! The bald head and the others hurriedly ran to Alice's side and said.
"Oh! How is this possible! Alice wanted to go to the door, to go out and see what was going on.
When the fat man and Feng Ling heard the conversation between the big bald head and Alice, they temporarily stopped to study the divine beast, and walked to the palace with Alice and the others to the square.
Everyone stared closely at the bronze ancient bell in the square, wanting to confirm what was going on with this ancient bell.
Sure enough, the third bell rang again, and the bell came from this bronze ancient bell, and the bronze ancient bell in front of me didn't know what was hit, and the ancient bell was still swaying back and forth, making a dull bell of vicissitudes.
When everyone was still curious about what was going on with this bronze ancient bell, a violent wind suddenly blew around the palace, and the wind wantonly rolled up the sand and stones on the ground, and after a while, a huge sandstorm swept all corners of the ancient city, the speed was extremely fast, and many buildings outside the palace had been annihilated by the sandstorm, and now the sandstorm was coming in the direction of the palace.
"Not good! It's the bell! The fat man suddenly shouted.
"What bell?" Gao Jin asked suspiciously.
"At that time, the seven bells that rang before the appearance of the ancient city were exactly the same as the sound of this bronze ancient bell, and when the bell rang to the seventh road, the ancient well appeared!" Feng Ling said to Gao Jin.
"That's right, now that the bell is ringing again, I guess that this ancient city will be annihilated by a sandstorm when the bell thinks of the seventh path!" The fat man speculated.
"What?" The big bald head said scaredly.
"Everyone, hurry back to the main hall!" The fat man shouted at the crowd.
When everyone heard the fat man's words, they didn't dare to stay in the square for a long time, so they quickly withdrew to the main hall and closed the door tightly.
"Let's go separately and look carefully in the main hall to see if there is a secret passage or something, Xiao Ling and I hurry up and study the Divine Beast Statue, maybe unlocking the secret of the Divine Beast Statue can find a secret way to escape!" The fat man said to everyone with a stern expression.
Everyone didn't say much when they heard the fat man's words, and hurriedly divided up and searched carefully in the main hall.
However, everyone turned over the hall again, but still found nothing, and now the only hope can only be pinned on the fat man and Feng Ling.
"Mr. Fatty, hurry up, the sandstorm is almost to the palace!" Tom shouted to the fat man as he looked out the door.
The fat man didn't have time to pay attention to Tom at this time, but he and Feng Ling seized the time to seriously study the two statues of divine beasts.
Time passed second by second, the sandstorm outside the palace was getting closer and closer, the wind was blowing, the wind was rolling the sand and constantly beating the gate of the palace, outside the gate was already a ghost crying wolf, there was a possibility of breaking the door at any time, the sand and dust in the palace were all rolled up by the wind, and the palace was already foggy in an instant, and the visibility was very low.
At this time, the bell outside the square rang again, and this was already the fourth bell.
"I'm running out of time! The sandstorm is almost to the palace! The big bald head looked through the crack in the door and looked out of the palace.
The atmosphere at the scene was very tense, but everyone didn't dare to disturb the fat man and others at this time, whether they could avoid being buried in this sandstorm depended on whether the fat man and the others could unlock the secret of the two divine beast statues and find the secret passage.
"That's right!" The fat man suddenly slapped his head in realization.
All eyes were attracted by the fat man's actions, which gave them some hope.
"I see, Xiao Ling, you stand next to another statue of a divine beast and push in the same direction with me at the same time!" The fat man said to Feng Ling.
"Good!" Feng Ling moved quickly and stood on the left side of the Divine Beast Statue like the fat man, with his hands on the neck of the Divine Beast Statue.
The bell outside the door rang again, and now it was the fifth bell, and the wind in the palace was getting stronger and stronger, and the sand outside the door was frantically beating against the door, and the dust and sand in the palace were constantly forming a whirlpool, rolling into the air and constantly slapping on everyone.
"It's almost time, are you ready?" The fat man wiped the dust on his face and looked at Feng Ling with a serious expression.
"That's it!" Feng Ling replied.
"Let's go! Push! After receiving the fat man's instructions, Feng Ling and the fat man pushed up the statue of the divine beast at the same time.
The two statues of the divine beast began to move to the right under the impetus of the fat man and Feng Ling at the same time, and the weight of this statue of the divine beast was not light, and it really took a lot of effort on the part of the two of them.
When the two statues of the beast moved at an angle of about 45 degrees, they could not be pushed, and then the throne behind everyone began to shake, and then slowly sank downward, and when the throne disappeared, a square mouth appeared in the original place of the throne, and under this large mouth was a secret passage.
"It's done!" The fat man exclaimed excitedly and Feng Ling excitedly.
At this time, the bell outside the door rang again, it was already the sixth bell, the sandstorm directly broke through the palace gate, the gate did not know where it was swept to, for a time the sandstorm poured into the palace like a huge wave, and everyone would have to die here forever if they did not escape.
"Quick! Fast forward to the secret passage! The fat man shouted.
There was not much time left for everyone, and at this time, everyone did not dare to slack off, and no matter what was under this secret passage, they jumped into the secret passage one after another, and when everyone jumped into the secret passage, the throne and the two statues of divine beasts at the entrance of the secret passage moved to their original positions and returned to their original state.
The seventh bell just rang when the secret passage was closed, and at this time, the sandstorm had filled the entire palace, directly annihilating the entire ancient city and palace, and the consequences would be unimaginable if everyone took another step late.
