Chapter 63: The Nine-Story Platform (Part II)
At this time, Yu Dong had already begun to prepare to walk towards the top of the nine-story platform, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Qin Zhen.
"It's dangerous for Lao Gu to go, isn't it dangerous for you to go? You can't go on your own, I'll accompany you. Qin Zhen said resolutely, seemingly with an irrefutable attitude.
And Mo Sheng also looked at Yu Dong with a smile and persuaded: "I think it's better to forget it, it's not a way for you to protect everyone like this after all." You must know that we are all trapped in the Jieshi Secret Palace now, and if you die now, they will not be able to get out either. You still listen to Qin Zhen, let's go up together. ”
Yu Dong frowned slightly, helplessly turned his head away, and didn't say anything more. For Qin Zhen's ability, he seems to be able to refute it forever. Because no matter what time it is, in this regard, everyone will always agree more with Qin Zhen's point of view, rather than Yu Dong's.
This nine-story platform is imposing, with three steps/steps as one floor, and is divided into three floors in total. Each step is more than ten meters wide and four or five steps long. This made Qin Zhen suddenly think of the long staircase in the Shangguan Flower Forest of the Demon Lord.
Led by Yu Dong, he slowly stepped on the huge stone steps, and walked towards the top of the nine-story platform with a solemn face with a cold momentum that reigned over the world.
There, is where their goal lies; There, the King of Qin's mountain whip is stored. This means that there is ...... It is the process and the only hope to find Yuwang Jiuding.
Yudong's attitude determined that the attitude of all of them became stricter. The only difference may be the ink clothes. At this time, Yudong's entire spirit was at the top of the nine-story platform. It seems that there is no time for anything else. But Mo Sheng was now looking around with more and more frowns.
Moshang's movements attracted Qin Zhen's attention, and Qin Zhen couldn't help but subconsciously observe Moshang. I saw Mosheng first look around seemingly unconsciously, and then lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet. It was weird, and I couldn't tell what he was going to do. It's just that the white clothes look very dazzling in this gloomy dungeon.
Ground floor ...... Another layer ......
It's almost the ninth step! Mo Sheng suddenly opened his mouth in a low voice at this time.
"Yuto ......"
At the same time as Mo Sheng spoke, Yudong actually stopped so tacitly! The synchronization between them is almost surprising than this mysterious dungeon! Not a single second of deviation exists, it is at the same time.
originally thought that some kind of cooperation between them was too tacit, so it was synchronized like this. But unexpectedly, Yu Dong suddenly raised his hand, stopped Qin Zhen's footsteps behind him and said, "Don't move!" Don't go any further! ”
This sudden word. made Qin Zhen, Gu Jie and Jiang Qi almost as if they had been pointed. I didn't even dare to roll my eyes half a step further.
"Xia, Xia Yudong...... When did you add this problem...... I warn you, if you are shocked like this again...... I'm good enough to walk out with you...... What the hell is going on?! Qin Zhen said anxiously, but a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that Yudong was not an old Gu. There must be a reason for everything he says and does!
Qin Zhen's words just fell. It was as if he heard a rumbling sound from beneath his feet.
"Listen to me. After a while, when I shouted to run, you rushed to the top of the ninth floor as fast as you could! Don't hesitate, don't pause. No matter what happens, don't stop! Yudong didn't look back, he couldn't see his expression. But from his voice, it was not difficult to hear that he was very nervous at the moment.
Needless to say, they must have triggered some mechanism. It is even highly likely that the terrifying scenario that was just envisioned was about to happen.
At this time, no one talked any more nonsense, staring at their eyebrows and getting ready, just waiting to listen to Yudong's order.
"Ready to ......" Yu Dong opened his mouth in a deep voice, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats. Because they have no idea what's going to happen.
"Run!!"
Yu Dong shouted, Lao Gu and Jiang Qi were like soldiers who had received an order, and they ran forward with their lives! And Qin Zhen just ran over and noticed that something was wrong, because they all ran away, but Yudong didn't move.
At this time, the nine-story stone platform that they had just walked behind them seemed to be a three-dimensional magic, rapidly changing and sinking at an impossible speed! Take a little slower, and they'll fall down the stone steps! At that time, it is difficult to say whether there will be anything wrong with the stone steps, and their lives will be gone.
Qin Zhen realized that something was not right, looking at Jiang Qi and Lao Gu who were running wildly in front of him, he was just about to turn back, when he heard Mo Sheng pull up Yudong and shout, "You don't want to die?!" Do you want to die here, or do you want to wait for them to come back and chase you?! With that, he pulled Yudong and started running.
By the time they all stood at the top of the nine-story platform, there was already a huge pit dozens of meters deep behind them!
Everyone's faces were very pale, and Lao Gu patted his chest out of breath, and he tried to calm himself.
Without glancing at the deep pit, Qin Zhen asked Yu Dong with a little reproach, "What's the matter with you?" ”
At this time, it is not difficult to associate. The ninth step just now must be the trigger point of the mechanism. Yudong has always been the first, and he was the first to step on the ninth step. At that time, all his attention was on the mountain whip, and it was Mo Sheng who sensed that something was wrong. By the time Moshang called out to him, he also felt that the mechanism of the ninth step had been activated. This is the real reason why the two of them are tacitly synchronized.
It was probably Yu Dong who thought of the principle of the mechanism, so the only thing he had to do immediately at that time was to let Qin Zhen and them run to the top and get out of danger.
Yudong knew that as soon as his feet were lifted, all the stone steps would fall quickly. So in order to avoid Qin Zhen and their accidents, he actually chose not to move...... After Qin Zhen and the others were safe, he ran again. It was precisely because of this that Mo Sheng angrily reprimanded him for not wanting to live anymore......
But Moshang didn't know...... He, Xia Yudong, has always been like this......
In the face of Qin Zhen's questioning, Yudong didn't say anything. And it seems that he has nothing to explain at all, and the facts are obvious in front of him. But who can change the principle that he always puts everyone's lives in the most important place?
Qin Zhen sighed helplessly and looked at Moshang gratefully. Fortunately, Moshang was able to detect Yudong's intentions and the opening of the mechanism.
Fortunately, everyone was in danger, so they began to observe the pit.
This was not the kind of natural abyss they had seen before, like a sinkhole. It's a very ingenious trap pit.
The pit wall is square, and the depth and size are basically the same as what Yudong said before. However, all four walls are made of bluestone, and there are eight dragon heads protruding from the four walls towards the center of the pit.
It seems that this is a chain mechanism, and once the mechanism of the ninth stone step is opened, the nine-story stone platform will fall. After falling, it turns into a blue brick on the ground at the bottom of the pit. Once the bottom fits perfectly, the eight faucets will peek out of the four walls, forming the scene they see today.
Those eight bronze dragon heads are extremely powerful and lifelike! A pair of twin dragon eyes seem to be glaring angrily! People can't help but feel a burst of horror when they look at it.
"This ...... What does that mean? Qin Zhen asked with a frown.
Lao Gu also said very incomprehensibly on the side: "It's not normal everywhere here!" What's going on here? Are these faucets mechanisms? As he spoke, he craned his neck and glanced down. At a glance, he immediately retracted his neck and said in a trembling voice, "I'm ...... It's not shallow at all! We can't take any chances, who knows what's going to happen down there? ”
Yu Dong stood on the edge of the stone platform, looking at the deep pit and the dragon head below, and couldn't help frowning slightly and thinking.
And Qin Zhen pointed to the stone wall in the pit and said, "Look, there are all relief statues below, will those reliefs have any special purpose?" ”
Yu Dong hit the relief from a distance with a flashlight, and then said in an unclear tone: "That's a strange beast in ancient legends, I think...... They shouldn't have any special purpose. Even if there were, we don't understand it now. ”
Alien beasts? I don't know why, as soon as Yu Dong said this word, Qin Zhen's mind immediately thought of such a thing! In fact, except for the "one-sided edge" of the stone carving at the Yongdao before, they had never heard of this kind of monster before. Who knows if the statue looks like a relief or not?
Now this pit is placed here with no clear meaning, and it is impossible to understand what it means.
Lao Gu looked anxious, and simply said angrily: "Oops, I'm in a hurry!" If you want me to say, we heroes don't look back. Let's go up and continue to look for what we need, and as soon as the things are in hand, we will leave immediately! What is this pit for, I don't think there is a need to waste brain cells anymore. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, and the mountain whip is not below! ”
Qin Zhen almost laughed when he heard Lao Gu's words. He looked at the old advisor with a smile and said, "It has nothing to do with us? Then let me ask, even if the mountain whip is on it, what are you going to do after you get it? Sleep peacefully here?? Can you use your brain? It took so much effort to come here, just to see the mountain whip, and then stay here as a human sacrifice? ”
Lao Gu seemed to be stunned after hearing this, he looked at Qin Zhen blankly, then turned his head to look at the pit, and said in a daze: "Eh...... That's right...... As soon as this pit appears, it seems that we can't get out of it......" (To be continued......
