Chapter 168: Invasion

Yan Zheng was originally behind the ink marks, but at this moment, he suddenly exerted his strength, suddenly jumped up, and took the lead in poking out of the hole. He looked around quickly, let out a low "heh", and then propped up the stone slab that was about to turn back on its own, and said, "Come on, no one." ”

Yu Mochen said in her heart, with her current ability, she didn't need Yan Zheng to go up first to eliminate the danger like this. But since Yan Zheng has already done this, she is always bad at ridiculing the other party with revenge. So she didn't speak, but lifted herself up like a swallow, and jumped silently up to the mouth of the cave. The lighter the movement, the more physical strength and precise control are required. She didn't say anything, but she had already shown that she had the ability to protect herself.

Yan Zheng glanced at her, and didn't know if he understood what she meant, so he only praised, "It's really good." Then he let go of his hand and let the tablet go back to its place.

Yu Moji raised his eyes to look, and then he understood why Yan Zheng paused when he investigated. Not far ahead, there is a statue of a Xuannu nearly 100 people high.

"Is it the one we saw earlier?" When Yu Moji was on the pan-sun kite, his eyes had not fully recovered after all, so he could only ask Yan Zheng to confirm the matter; But it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a stone statue, and with the ability of the Xuannu Sect, I am afraid that in such a short period of time, I am afraid that a second one will not be built.

Yan Zheng said, "The image, height, and orientation are all the same, of course they are the same." ”

They had doubts about this stone statue before, but they did not dare to approach this stone statue from the sky because the target of the pan-sun kite was too obvious and could not stay in the air; Now that I've stumbled into it by mistake, why don't you go to find out?

But she always felt that the stone statue should not be defenseless at all, so she became more and more vigilant in her heart.

At the moment when she hesitated, the sound of artillery fire suddenly came faintly in the distance. Yu Moji suddenly turned his head. Separated by mountains and deep valleys and forests, even if her eyes recovered, she couldn't see the situation clearly, but the sound of the cannon must have come from the Yanjia weapon carried by the Zhennan Army-Yu Moji's own design, which was naturally very familiar.

"That's it." Yan Zheng said coldly, "The Xuannu Sect has done a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs, do you think that attacking at night can be a surprise victory?" Looking for death? ”

Yu Moji said, "No wonder there isn't even a guard here. "In war, a large number of sergeants and advanced weapons mean overwhelming superiority. However, the weapons and equipment of the Xuannu Sect must be inferior to the Zhennan Army; How many troops can be hoarded in such a barren place? A head-to-head confrontation is better than a sneak attack, and the Xuannu Sect may have to be fully dispatched. But even so, Yu Mojian didn't think that the Xuannu Sect had any chance of winning.

Yu Moji glanced at the source of the cannon sound in confusion, and Yu Guang suddenly saw that not far away, in the other direction, a lone signal smoke rose.

"Just the Xuannu Sect," Yan Zheng said disdainfully, "how many troops can there be, and how many troops can be divided?" ”

Yu Mochen was stunned for a moment, understood what Yan Zheng meant, and hurriedly said, "That's not the signal sent by the Xuannu Sect, but the signal smoke of the Martial Arts Hall...... Haven't you seen it before? ”

“…… The Imperial Capital's Lecture Hall is not such a shoddy thing. Yan Zheng explained casually, and said, "Is it based on it?" ”

Yu Mozhen smiled, "Except for him, I'm afraid that no one else here will use the signal smoke of the Mourning Martial Arts Hall." She watched from afar as the signal dissipated into the air, "It's the meaning of calling me back to assemble." ”

Yan Zheng said, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

"Not the most urgent one." Yu Mochen thought for a moment and said, "But it may also be that General Yuan didn't bring other signal smoke...... I really don't know where he got this one. Now that she sees the things in the Mourning Martial Arts Hall, she feels as if she is in a different world.

Yan Zheng said, "He has always been thoughtful in doing things, if he wants to convey other meanings, he will definitely not take out this signal cigarette to make you guess." If you guess wrong, wouldn't it be troublesome? I think he's just giving you a spot. Yan Zheng said, then lifted the spear and said, "The medicine powder on our body can still last for the right time, right?" Anyway, it will take a lot of time to rush back, so it is better to check this stone statue while the medicine is still working. ”

There is some truth to what he said. Yu Mojin sighed silently as she walked over with him, and said in her heart that this was probably the first time she hadn't taken Yuan Zhizhi's order as her first priority.

From a distance, the stone statue looks like a natural one; However, when they got closer, they noticed that there were many gaps in the base of the stone statue, and the arrangement of the gaps between them was apparently somewhat regular.

The two men stepped forward and struck the stone wall with their crossbow arrows and spear tips. This is something they have learned in the Cardinal's Academy, and they can easily tell if there is room inside by the sound of tapping. Since they didn't know how to enter the inside of the statue, they had to start with the structure.

Normally, when the Masters of the Cardinal Council did these things, they mostly did so with their fingers. But after all, this place is rampant with miasma and insect vectors, even if the two of them have medicinal powder by their side, they don't dare to rashly reach out to touch the things taught by Xuannu, so they have to suffer weapons.

As they walked, they searched like this for a while, and the ink marks had heard a few particularly weak points, and the two of them used crossbow arrows and spear tips to pry the stone cracks around them.

Yan Zheng exerted force on his hand and said, "What do you think such a stone statue should be used for?" ”

Yu Mochen thought for a moment and said, "In the files of the Xuannu Sect, there shouldn't be any record of them being able to use flying armor, right?" ”

Yan Zheng nodded, "These people may have a thousand-year-old gold, and they have even mastered a little bit of simple Yanjia science. However, the Flying Armor is the result of the accumulation and joint efforts of the cardinal's masters from generation to generation, and the concept was developed more than 100 years ago, and it was not until forty years ago that the Cardinal's development of the appropriate technology based on those concepts was realized. The little technology that the people secretly learned, without roots and foundations, and without all the conditions of the cardinal, let alone a pan-sun kite, it is impossible to create even the simplest structure of the 'flying fly'. ”

"Therefore, if the Xuannu Sect thinks of one place with us, and also wants to gain a high-altitude vision, there is no way to take the road of flying armor." Yu Moji turned his head, looked around, and said, "There is no higher mountain than this, but the Xuannu Sect has to increase its height, so it has to build such a large statue." Although this statue takes a lot of work, it is more realistic than the flying armor that cannot be obtained. ”

As soon as Yu Moji's words fell, there was already movement under Yan Zheng's hands. He pried open a stone slab, revealing the intertwined hinges inside. To those who do not know why, these things may seem to be completely disorganized, almost like a mess; But after all, these two people have all kinds of experience and skills accumulated by the Cardinal over the years, and it is natural to deal with this little trick.

Yan Zheng was about to make a move, but Yu Moji rarely stopped him and said, "I'll come." You help look out for the wind. After all, she has two sets of knowledge from the Cardinal Council and Jiangshan Ship, and the odds of winning are better than Yan Zheng's when dealing with this kind of delicate work.

Yan Zheng glanced at her, then turned around and went to protect the Dharma for her.

Yu Moji used the crossbow arrows in his hand to flick the hinges. The force at her hand is extremely well controlled, and when she finds something wrong, she touches it and walks away. After doing this for a while, she roughly figured out the relationship between these things. She corresponded to the various structures she knew, and knew the effect of these hinges, and found out how many of them should be used to open doors.

Through the moonlight, Yu Moji also noticed that there was a cave under the hinges, and there must be something in the foundation of this idol tower. However, this was not the time to delve deeper, she held her breath, pulled a force in her hand, and a doorway opened on the side.

She was overjoyed, and was about to call Yan Zheng, but when she turned around, she found that she couldn't even find a shadow behind her.

Yu Moji: "......"

This person has repeatedly competed for the first place on the way here, and he has the intention of sacrificing his life to protect her regardless of her wishes, why is there no trace at this time?

Yu Mojin sighed, knowing that even if Yan Zheng encountered any danger, with his ability, he would most likely be able to protect himself; She snapped a crossbow bolt into the corresponding hinge as a marker, and then restored the pried open stone wall to its original shape. Then she slumped short and slipped into the doorway.

The inside of the statue was much darker than the outside, and the ink marks fell into darkness as soon as they landed. She immediately turned around and kicked the thick stone slab in the doorway, which was about to turn on its own, and took a closer look at the structure of the statue by a little moonlight outside.

However, the light was limited, and Yu Moji could only see the shrine on the edge of the doorway, and a wooden ladder that zigzagged up not far ahead. After a while, the wooden ladder was cut off by the floor, and if I planned to borrow the wooden ladder to go up, I would have to open other mechanisms.

Yu Moji already understood that this statue was originally a building, and the interior was likely to be a structure similar to that of the Qi people's pagoda.

It is naturally quite troublesome to carve such a huge stone statue out of thin air, but if it is built as a building, it is not very difficult to paste the exterior of the plaster to make it look like a statue. The time required is naturally much shorter.

Thinking of this, Yu Moji couldn't help but sigh. The Xuannu Sect is really good at provoking people's hearts. After all, they have the advantage of geography, and they have taken advantage of disasters and miasma to intimidate the villagers here and the Zhennan army from afar, and they have already taken the lead; Coupled with the sudden appearance of such a strange statue, people who don't know what is going on must not dare to rush forward; But before it was too late, who could see the mystery in this?

The wooden ladder and the floor slab were not tightly connected, and in the gap, a faint light flowed down from the upper floor, and Yu Moji knew that there might be someone above, so he was a little more vigilant. But the light was really faint, and the space where the ink marks were located was not small, and she turned her head to look around, but still couldn't make out the outlines of the objects around her.

There were candles in front of the shrine beside her, but Ink Marks wasn't going to light them. Who knows if there is a mystery in this candle smoke?

Yu Moji has lived in the dark for a while anyway, and he thinks he can be blind and competent. She simply retracted the strength of her feet, allowing the stone slab to close slowly, without making a sound at all. She herself was thrown into darkness.
