Chapter 271: Xuanmu Plank Road
Along the passage has been down a short stone staircase, at the end of the stone steps there is a quaint stone archway, the roof is paved with colorful glazed tiles, and there is a huge plaque hanging on the door, on which are three golden characters written in stone inscriptions 'Dengxian Bridge'.
"This Jiulong dares to think, Dengxian Bridge, is it possible that he not only wants to be resurrected, but also becomes an immortal?" Donglin's tone was contemptuous, full of disgust for Dengxian Bridge.
"It is rumored that Jiulong is the son of the dragon, and it is normal to have the idea of becoming an immortal." Xia Yanru felt that this was the right way to open the Jiulong Underground Palace, and in her opinion, resurrection or something was definitely not the real goal pursued by Jiulong, and this word 'immortal' was probably the key.
"You also said that it was rumored, not true. Jiulong's life history is mysterious, but the son of the divine dragon is completely apocryphal, and it can't be that he made it up in order to stabilize his position. Donglin retorted disappreactively.
"What's the difference between true and false, anyway, it's true that he wants to become an immortal." Xia Yanru gave up a little helplessly and continued to argue, she relied on wild history to piece together the character of Jiulong, who can guarantee that the information in her hand must be true?
"It's true that there are too many people who want to become immortals since ancient times, and he is not the only one, but this Dengxian Bridge makes me a little curious." Donglin shrugged his shoulders, and no longer bothered about Jiulong's life history, he didn't come here for archaeology.
"It's a jack gate here, but it's not troublesome." Xia Yanru has already judged the structure of the giant gate of the archway, a typical jack gate, which can be opened by finding the right mechanism, which is not a difficult task.
Obviously, this kind of simple mechanism setting, Ling Kun, who came here first, did not leave any mark, and thought that it was such a simple mechanism, if Xia Yanru and they could walk here, then this jack gate would definitely not be difficult for them.
This time, Donglin took the initiative to undertake the task of opening the jack gate, and he may not be able to do it with a more complicated mechanism, but this kind of jack brake, he has encountered it in almost every tomb palace, and he is already familiar with it.
Soon, Donglin found the location of the mechanism, activated the mechanism according to experience, and the next moment, the jack gate slowly rose, and at this time, everyone saw the whole picture of the Dengxian Bridge.
It can only be said that if there are people with fear of heights, it is not suitable for the picture in front of them, only to see that the so-called Dengxian Bridge is actually a super-long plank road suspended on both sides, and the material of this plank road is wooden at a glance, and the knot is not strong.
"Where is this Dengxian Bridge, this is the Hades Bridge, right?" Donglin gasped, the endless abyss under the bridge that could not see the bottom was very dizzying, and the length of the entire plank road was hundreds of meters long, not to mention, there was no trace of protection, it was completely suspended.
"It's not easy to walk, it's difficult to control the bridge deck not to shake at this length, and there are no guardrails on the two, so it's very easy to fall." Yang Gang also frowned, this kind of wooden bridge deck is very light, and it is difficult for people to walk on it to ensure that the entire bridge body will not shake.
Xia Yanru looked around, there is only one way to go here, down is the abyss, you can go back, but this road is obviously Ling Kun walked, if you change the road, it is difficult to guarantee whether you will not touch Ling Kun, you must know that important information is in Ling Kun's hands.
"No matter how difficult it is, you must go, so the three of you can stay in the main hall." Xia Yanru pursed her lips, there is no need for Yang Gang and the three of them to follow her all the time to wade into troubled waters, if they continue to follow, they may encounter any danger, it is better to let them stay in the main hall safely, maybe they can wait for the follow-up troops.
"No, our job is to keep you safe, so we must follow you wherever you go!" Yang Gang refused Xia Yanru's kindness without thinking about it, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and he can't give up the task because of the danger in front of him.
Luo Qi and Fang Hu's attitudes were also surprisingly consistent, unless Xia Yanru stayed, they had to follow along, no matter how dangerous this plank road was, it would not make them retreat.
"Hey, I don't know what's wrong, the girl is also for your good, do you know what kind of place this is?" Dong Lin sneered, he couldn't understand this mentality of getting involved even though he knew there was danger, if it weren't for someone like him with a purpose, there was no need to joke with his life.
"What does it have to do with you?" Yang Gang retorted coldly.
Donglin snorted contemptuously and didn't speak again, people like Yang Gang, in fact, he is not uncommon, after all, he is in the 'elixir', he has dealt with these regular troops for so many years, and there are not a few who have been caught by the 'elixir', and their mouths are harder than anything else, and there are few people who spare their lives.
"You have thought about it, I can't protect each of you, and at the critical moment, I will only ensure that I will get out of the way." Xia Yanru said bluntly, she didn't say this before, also because those dangers were under control, but now that she has reached the underground palace, it means that many things will be beyond her cognition.
"We know very well that it is our duty to protect you, and if we really encounter danger, it will naturally put you first." Yang Gang showed a faint smile, they were never afraid of death, they were only afraid of not being able to complete the task.
"Okay." Xia Yanru nodded, I don't know if this good word is Yang Gang who answered, or if it has other intentions, I saw that after she finished speaking, she turned around and came to the plank road.
Knowing that Xia Yanru was going to be the first to go, Donglin also knew that this was actually the safest, so he immediately gave a word of advice, and he waited for Yang Gang to also get on the plank road, and then followed and walked in the fifth position on the ground.
When Xia Yanru stepped on the plank road for the first time, she couldn't help but mention it, she obviously felt that at the moment of getting on the foot, the plank road seemed to tremble, but the float was not obvious, if it weren't for her keen five senses, it would be easy to ignore it.
"Your feet must be light." Xia Yanru hurriedly admonished the people behind her.
Yang Gang only thought it was a normal advice at first, but after he also got on the plank road, he immediately understood the true meaning of tapping his feet, and immediately told Luo Qi behind him.
Just like passing flowers to the drumming, this sentence must be passed lightly and smoothly to the last person's ear, and everyone was nervous for a while.
When Xia Yanru and the others laboriously walked to the center of the plank road, the amplitude of the plank road suddenly became larger, as if a gust of wind was blowing, and it seemed that someone was naughty on the plank road.
Xia Yanru walked in the front, feeling the deepest nature, but she was able to hold it steady, and the moment she began to step on the plank road, she knew that the difficulty of this Dengxian Bridge was not only what she saw in front of her, but here in Donglin, the cold light in her eyes rose, and the whole person was in a state of vigilance.
