Chapter 269: The Stone Chamber
I smiled slightly, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he is a promise of gold, and he believes in you. ”
With a wave of his hand, Mingqi Qiujin and the others also withdrew, and Xuanyuan Chen tied the soft sword around his waist and stood at my side.
Baili Tianqi looked at Xuanyuan Chen sideways again, "His Royal Highness King Chen, don't come unharmed." Shengjing has been farewell for several months, and the prince looks good. ”
Xuanyuan Chen bent his lips slightly, clasped his hands and hugged his fists, "Thanks to Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is all right." But Your Majesty, the last time we met, Your Majesty was still the crown prince, and after a few months, you are still on the throne, which is really gratifying. ”
Baili Tianqi tugged at the corners of his lips, and also bowed his head in return, "Thank the prince Hongfu, it's easy to say." ”
"Hammer ......"
There was no one in the dark tunnel to light up the weapon, but I felt that the air around me was a little cold in an instant.
Although these two people are soft-spoken, like ordinary greetings, the smell of gunpowder is quite strong.
Baili Tianqi led troops to attack Zhonglu, Xuanyuan Chen provoked the prince to raise the flag to counterattack, and the former sent someone to assassinate Xuanyuan Chen......
Baili Tianqi came back and pulled out almost all of my letters, and I have no follow-up news, but according to Xuanyuan Chen's temperament, he will not accept that sword in vain, and there are many doorways between the two of them.
Without mentioning it, I almost forgot.
The space here is cramped, and after a long fight, I obviously feel breathless.
There are more people on the other side than we are, and in a little while, my people will definitely suffer. So I thought about a delaying tactic first, stabilizing the situation first, and looking for an opportunity to sneak attack.
I was only thinking about myself just now, but I forgot that he still had Xuanyuan Chen's account on him, and the new account and the old account were added to care about me, how could I make him feel better.........
Although it talks about the covenant, it ......
Baili Tianqi also promised me a phoenix crown, and in the end, it was not a bloody mansion.
A mere verbal covenant, to say it or not to say it, is nothing.
As long as you can kill him, it's fine......
I coughed lightly and said, "Since we have cooperated, it will be a waste of time to stay for a long time, so let's think about how to find the treasure traces." ”
Baili Tianqi nodded and asked, "It's been a while since you entered here, why did you go back to the same place?" ”
This is also my strange place, so I briefly explained the situation.
"Oh, in that case, let's try again." He groaned slightly, and immediately called four guards, and brought one of the organs to everyone to come forward to investigate, and after a while, everyone came back to report, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has carefully looked at it, there is no organ at the intersection, and the specific situation has to be the way to know." ”
Baili Tianqi pondered for a moment, nodded, and the guards were divided into two parts, half of them followed the way we came out, and a few masters were behind him.
With his hands behind his back, he strode after him, took a few steps, and then turned back and asked, "Aren't you leaving?" ”
Of course, if you go, I'll have to find a chance to kill you.
Not much to say, Xuanyuan Chen and I also strode to follow.
We used to explore the road carefully while walking, and the trip was slow and slow, probably thinking that we were close to crossing the road, but this time the people of Baili Tianqi took the lead, but the trip was much faster.
An hour later, there was an intersection ahead, and everyone came out of the intersection only to find that this was still the place where they first came down.
"This ...... It doesn't make sense! "Everyone is very puzzled about that organ," the old man has been studying the institution KitKat for decades, and the general organ really can't escape the old man's eyes, although the compass can't be used, but the old man is sure that all the way is a straight road, how can he go back to the same place. ”
Another organ expert also nodded, habitually wiping an inch of a small beard rolled up, "Yes, along the way, the old man has also deliberately seen it, in this way, up and down, but there is no organ!" ”
There are no organs, two parallel roads, we walk in a straight line, never the slightest turn, but from one to the inside, the other out, this ......
It's incredible!
Everyone didn't know why, and they were all silent.
The already suffocating secret path turned out to be even more depressing.
The light of the torch in Mingqi's hand was weak, and it was extinguished with a "po......of".
"Oh no, there's less air here, extinguish the extra torches!" Liu Dehai shouted urgently.
My people immediately extinguished three torches, leaving only one light in Qiu Jin's hand, and Baili Tianqi also ordered people to extinguish most of the torches, and the remaining two clusters were illuminated.
This dark passage is paved with blue and black terrazzo, and the blue and black are already absorbing light, and when so many torches are extinguished at once, the sight instantly darkens a lot.
After being cautious all the way, Baili Tianqi had already relaxed his vigilance at this time, and the guards behind him were also nearly a meter away from him......
Baili Tianqi suddenly turned his head, "County Lord, do you have any way to get out of here?" The air is getting less and less, and I'm afraid it's not good to be delayed. ”
What he said was, forget it, let him live a little longer.
I had a map in my hand, and I found the entrance, he must have thought that I still had a secret trick in my hand, but I really didn't have much research on the mechanism, so I had to pretend to think about it for a while, and then I shook my head.
Everyone was silent for a while, and I don't know who whispered timidly, "I heard the old man say that barren mountains and mountains are easy to encounter ghosts hitting the wall, let's not meet them, right?" ”
As soon as his voice fell, the torch in the hand of the guard next to him flashed a few times and extinguished ............
The light dimmed suddenly, and with what he had said, the atmosphere instantly became weird. No one was talking, and even the sound of breathing was much softer......
Baili Tianqi frowned and shouted, "What nonsense, there is no such thing in this world, with false rumors, don't take it out and say it!" ”
"Yes, it's the nonsense of the subordinates, and the subordinates know their mistakes, and they don't dare." The guards hurriedly bowed their heads.
After he made such a fuss, I suddenly remembered something.
When I first entered the Blue Pavilion Nine-Story Tower, Ji Yunchang and I also encountered this situation. Later, it was Ji Yunchang who found the eye of the formation, so he could be considered safe and secure.
Could it be that the same situation here?
When I told me about this, the old man surnamed Li, who had a curly sheep's beard, said, "The old man has long heard of the mystery of the pavilion tower and has studied it, but although there are many institutions in the tower, they are all set up for the purpose of assessing students.
The meaning contained in it is nothing more than 'benevolence, righteousness, morality and etiquette', and if you think about it carefully, you can pass it. But it's different here, if it's a little bit wrong, it will kill you!. ”
That being said, you can't do nothing.
Seeing that there was almost no air in this dark passage, Xuanyuan Chen said, "There is almost no air here, since you can't think of a good way, it's better to go back to the top first, and then come back to find the way after researching." ”
"That's very good." Baili Tianqi nodded immediately, Liu Dehaihai immediately took a cluster of torches and walked to the stairs, skillfully tinkered a few times, he "...... it", and slapped it a few times, and immediately said, "Master, someone touched the mechanism, broke the eye, and the road was blocked?" ”
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the mechanism brought by Baili Tianqi, walked quickly to the stairs, knocked for a while, and said not very calmly, "It's a problem, the exit is really blocked!" ”
"There's a way to open it!" Baili Tianqi's expression changed.
The white-faced old man studied for a while, shook his head and said, "This is not the stone wall on the snake cave, this is a century-old cold iron stone, the axe is chiseled without traces, the knife cannot be broken, and it is nearly a meter thick, with force, I am afraid it will not be opened." ”
Xuanyuan Chen thought about it together, and asked me for Moque, and he was about to stab his internal strength......
"Qiang ......"
A spark splashed on the stone wall, but the blade was undamaged and there were no scratches on the stone wall.
His eyes darkened, and he slammed into the stone wall with his internal force......
The stone walls have not changed in the slightest......
The situation seems to be a bit complicated, the retreat has been blocked, and it seems that the only way to go is to keep going......
After hesitating for a moment, I took out the pill that Xuanyuan Chen gave me from my sleeve, and swallowed two pills at a time with a ruthless heart, and when the medicine power was completely dissolved, I took a few steps forward.
When you come to an intersection, you can take a closer look......
Looking at it this way, I finally knew why I walked back.
The two roads start from parallel, but the further you go, the wider the road becomes, the texture of the stones on the ground slowly changes, and the road slowly takes on a strange arc.
The air here is thin, and the surface is very careful, and the heart is also nervous, patronizing the search mechanism, but unconsciously ignoring some details, so he turned around and turned back to the same place.
As for the way forward......
My head suddenly felt dizzy, and my legs went limp, as if I were flying through a cloud. Thanks to Xuanyuan Chen for helping me, otherwise I will fall.
He quickly stuffed another pill into my mouth, and when I recovered a little, he untied the water bag on my body, and I drank a few sips, and then I felt better.
The power is used too often, the time to stare at the piercing object is getting shorter and shorter, my body has begun to appear in a bad condition, and there are not many pills in my hand, and I am afraid that it will be worse if I am not in moderation.
However, just now, I could almost see the situation clearly, and in the center of that wide road, there was a black hole under the ground, and there must be no doubt that the next road would be.
"But better?" Xuanyuan Chen asked.
I nodded, and pointed forward, "Go ahead, there is a road ahead." ”
Xuanyuan Chen understands me, and he will help me to leave.
Mingqi Qiujin followed, followed by my men. I didn't look back much, but there were footsteps behind me, and Baili Tianqi and the others followed.
borrowed my light, it's really cheap for him, he should be suffocated here!
The air was getting less and less, and I didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so I walked forward briskly for half an hour, and finally reached the black hole, and my heart was about to explode with suffocation.
"Brother Liu, look at the mechanism around here." I pointed to the side, and Liu Dehai immediately looked for the general seriously.
The situation was urgent, and the two old guys also hurried over to help find it. In this way, he found a close cup of tea, and Liu Dehai was overjoyed, "Master, there is a mechanism!" ”
As he spoke, he quickly took out a worn-out wooden box from the small cloth bag he carried, opened it, took out a very thin probe from it, lay on the ground, and slowly probed into the gap in the bluestone, poked and twisted......
"Boom ......"
There was a sound of stones grinding, a large hole in the ground was revealed, and a slightly musty smell of fresh air came in, and I sniffed hard a few times to feel more comfortable.
"Hah! There is a way! ”
"yes, that's great!"
Several of Baili Tianqi's guards were very excited, as if they had escaped death, and their faces were happy.
Ming Qi and Qiu Jin glanced at the general lightly, there was no extra expression on their faces, but in their eyes, there was deep contempt.
Baili Tianqi's eyes were cold, and when he glanced at it, the guards immediately stopped talking, lowered their eyebrows, and didn't dare to say a word.
He deeply forgot about me, muttered for a moment, and did not speak after all.
Since there is a road, it is natural to move forward.
Mingqi rekindled the torch, walked to the entrance of the cave to look down, hesitated for a moment, and when he returned his hand, Qiu Jin had already handed over a paragraph.
He tied the torch to the rope and slowly descended, the flame scurrying a few times and tilting to the left.
When the rope was completely smooth, Mingqi handed the end of the rope to Qiu Jin and jumped down.
"You guys, let's go down and have a look." Baili Tianqi pointed to a few people.
"Yes." A few guards responded, drew their weapons and jumped down.
"Master, it's a little strange down there, but it's safe."
Halfway through, Mingqi's voice came from below.
Seeing that the bluestone on the ground showed signs of closing, Xuanyuan Chen grabbed my waist, jumped lightly, and jumped into the hole.
This hole is very deep, and I silently recited nearly ten numbers in my heart before it fell to the end.
This is also a stone room paved with terrazzo bluestone, the space in the room is extremely large, all the torches can not illuminate the distance, this place has plenty of air, there is a musty smell of grass after the rain, perhaps, it is from the ventilation hole.
"Master, where are we going?"
As if it was a habit, Qiu Jin approached me and asked.
My strength is almost overdrawn, how dare I use it again, after thinking about it, I pointed in a direction at random, Qiu Jinying, and took the lead. Who knew that after just a few steps, she suddenly let out a "...... ah".
I was shocked, and when I looked at it, my heart suddenly rose to my throat.
