Chapter 66: Demon Pavilion

The monk does not believe in evil, and says that there is no mechanism in this place?

The master said, "I don't know if you two have noticed." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe path we are taking now is not at all the same as before. ”

"No way, no matter how you look at it, there's only one way here."

I looked back and forth, but I didn't have the slightest impression of the place except the stone forest. The terrain is so similar that there is hardly any difference. Besides, I didn't see any forks in the road along the way, so how could I go wrong?

"I have heard the Seventh Master mention that the karst cave under Guanziling is a special anti-theft line that surrounds the underground palace of King Yelang. Once someone breaks into it, the mechanism placed in the cavern will gradually lead the intruder in the opposite direction. If the unwitting intruder walks down the cave, although he psychologically thinks that he is approaching the underground palace, the real situation is that he is moving away from the underground palace step by step. ”

"Qimen Dunjia? Master, isn't that the truth? "I understood what the master meant.

The master nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed a bit of a strange door Dunjia, this is the genius of King Yelang." ”

"Is it so powerful? Qimen Dunjia is left by our ancestors, and their group of wild people in the mountains can also understand it? The monk didn't believe this at all, in his opinion, the Yelang country was still in the southern barbarian land, and the Yelang people had not yet been civilized, how could they know about Qimen Dunjia?

The master sighed, don't underestimate here, we are in this place, do we suffer less?

The monk said, "Master, then according to what you say, what should I do now?" Knowing that there is a mechanism in front of us, we still have to go in and send it to death? ”

The master coughed a few times, and said helplessly: "I can't think of a way to do it, and now, I can only take one step at a time." ”

There's no way around it, there's only one way here, and we can only keep going. After a short rest, the three of them continued on their way. Along the way, I was still lucky, thinking that maybe the stone staircase to get out was just ahead. But after walking for nearly half an hour, the stone staircase did not appear, but there was a fork in the road ahead.

The forks lead in three different directions. I looked at the black holes, and suddenly my head was big, it was really a roof leak that happened to rain overnight.

"Which one?"

The monk stepped forward, as if asking the master, and as if talking to himself.

Master's physical condition has recovered a lot, and his face is much more normal. He walked to the fork in the road and looked at each hole carefully. When he saw the hole in the middle, he suddenly said excitedly: "There you have it, this is it!" ”

We hurriedly leaned over, and the three openings looked almost indistinguishable, so I asked him, "Master, why do you go this way?" ”

The master pointed to an inconspicuous position at the entrance of the cave and said, "Two of you, the mark here is exactly what was mentioned in that record book." At that time, Jin Zhishi, who was in charge of hiding those treasures, deliberately left this kind of code near the various treasure places in the underground palace in case he could pick it up later. ”

That mark is very inconspicuously engraved, and if it were me and the monk, I wouldn't have noticed it anyway.

The three of them immediately regained their spirits, and the monk took the lead in burrowing into the marked hole. At this time, the master reminded us that if the treasure is indeed buried nearby, then this road must be full of mechanisms, and it is better for us to be careful. Therefore, this time all three of them walked very slowly, and almost every step I took, I first stepped lightly to test the feeling under my feet, and there was no problem, and then I continued to walk.

This process lasted for about three incense sticks, and there was no danger along the way. At this moment, the monk who was walking in front waved his hand to signal us to stop.

The torches shone past, and a wooden door could be seen less than ten paces ahead.

We walked over, and to our surprise, the door had not been opened, and the lock on the door was still there. This means that there is a good chance that the treasure is still there. Without saying a word, the monk immediately prepared to pick the lock, and I had even begun to imagine in my mind the image of a mountain of gold and silver treasures piled up behind the wooden door.

But the master was unusual, and hurriedly stopped the monk who was picking the lock.

"You two, don't act rashly. I misjudged before I went down, and I am afraid that this place is not the secret room where the Commander hid the treasure. ”

Master's expression at this time made me feel that something was wrong, so I hurriedly stopped the monk and asked what was going on?

The master pointed to the inscriptions on the door and said, "The words on the door, the two of you may not have noticed it. Don't hide it from the two of you, I'm afraid this is not a secret room for hiding treasures, but a demon suppression pavilion! ”

"Demon Suppression Pavilion?"

I was immediately frightened by the master's tone, and thought to myself, could it be that there are some monsters suppressed in the dungeon? The monk muttered, and then laughed: "I said master, do you really take this kind of bluffing trick seriously?" The demon town, to put it bluntly, is a ghost story made up by those monks. Anyway, I've been in the temple for a few years, and I know this kind of gimmick very well, and I don't have to take it seriously at all. ”

The monk didn't care at all about what the demon said. But combined with the experiences along the way, I think the master's words are not unreasonable.

"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. Monk, the most important thing for us now is to find a place to rest, I think the master is right. It is better not to leave this door untouched, lest it cause any extraneous branches. ”

The monk said impatiently: "Lao Tzu has been running for more than a month, and he is here for the treasure, not for you to visit." One of you can't do it in the east, and the other in the west can't do it, all according to what you said, Lao Tzu just drank the northwest wind. Tell you, no one will try to stop me this time. ”

As soon as his temper came up, it was even more stubborn than a cow. But if you think about it carefully, all the things you encountered along the way are heartwarming things, and it can be said that none of them went well, and he must be holding back the fire in his heart. Coupled with the fact that I repeatedly stopped him, it must have annoyed him even more.

I thought to myself, forget it, let him hold it again, I have to hold it out. This time, it's up to him, anyway, I and my master are watching, and if we find that the situation is wrong, we just need to withdraw immediately. In fact, I can't help it. As soon as the monk's stubborn temper came up, it was estimated that no one could cure him except the guards.

The master is a smart man, and as soon as he looks at the monk's face, he knows that this town demon pavilion must be entered. He no longer persuaded the monks, and simply stood silently behind.

Picking locks is a basic skill, and monks are naturally handy. Soon, with a dull pushing sound, the closed door of the Demon Pavilion, which had been silent for many years, was slowly pushed open by us.

The dust that had been deposited on the door for many years suddenly poured down, and we covered our mouths and noses, took torches, and peeked inside the door. Once inside, the first thing I noticed was a familiar smell in the stone room. It was the frescoes around the stone chamber, and after years of deposition, they emitted a smell of aged paint.
