In the middle of the pit below is a small pagoda carved out of a single stone, and the exposed part of the tower is as expected to be a statue of Hades.

Looking from above, you can only see the upper half of its body, with twelve arms like a thousand-armed Guanyin, slightly hanging its head, and looking down gloomily.

Usually such a tower tomb has a base underneath, and now the base is buried in the pond along with the lower half of Hades' body.

The pool was gray, and although Zhang Qixun could see clearly, he couldn't distinguish the colors well, and all the scenes in front of him were gray.

He looked around the walls of the cave, and found no obvious exits or flaws except for cracks, which was obviously strange in the statue of the tomb of Hades.

Zhang Qixun took out a few cold fireworks from the space and threw them into a few corners of the pool, and the whole space was illuminated as bright as day.

When there was no light, he could only see that the bottom of the pool was all evenly white, and when the light of the cold fireworks came on, he realized that all the white sand around the statue was the same as the sand that fell out of Hades' body after it was broken.

Regardless of how the Zhang family had transported so much white sand here in the first place, Zhang Jixun was keenly aware that this place might not be a sacrificial passage as he originally thought.

These large quantities of white sand should have been stored here by the Zhang family, and the effect is obvious.

"So it's the pantry?" Zhang Qixun narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, "It's still the production workshop that makes Hades." ”

Compared with the proportions of the living Hades, the buried part of the current Hades statue is estimated to be at least two meters, so deep, with the loose texture of this white sand, it is estimated that it can be directly submerged from the soles of the feet to the waist when stepped on it.

Zhang Qixun estimated the distance from the edge of the pool to the statue, took out the wrist buckle from the space and put it on his right hand, pressed and flicked it, and the small silver dart flew straight towards the palm of the king of Hades.

The moment he passed by the side of his palm, Zhang Qixun's wrist shook slightly, and the silver chain drove the little silver dart to turn flexibly in the air like a whip, and went around the back of Hades's arm, and clicked on the silver chain, and the tail end of the small silver dart was tightly stuck into the chain ring and hooked.

Zhang Qixun raised his right hand and slid it, and the silver chain slid down more than ten centimeters, just stuck at the elbow of the king of Hades.

In this situation, I have to praise the details of the Zhang family's work.

Zhang Qixun stepped back, then ran two steps, stepped heavily on the edge of the pool, and the whole person soared to a high place, the gear in the wrist buckle rotated, and the silver chain continued to shrink rapidly with the approaching distance, and with the momentum of the fall, he easily fell to the stone statue and stepped on the arm stretched out by Hades.

This ghost has so many arms for nothing, and the five big and three thick ones are so strong, it is just right to step on him to step on them.

Zhang Qixun stepped on his arm and climbed up two more sections, took off the small silver dart wrapped around it and put it back in the wrist buckle.

Standing on the head of the king of Hades, Zhang Qixun re-lit a cold firework and shone it up, and found that the top of this stone chamber had collapsed before, as if it had been blown up by a detonator, and it was charred black.

Especially in the corner near the rear, where the edge of the dome was in shambles, even with the back wall, and cracks of various sizes everywhere.

In the middle of the most severely broken crevice, you can see a black hole, the mouth of which is as thick as the wooden barrel used to hold rice in the canteen of the lama temple, and can easily fit an adult.

Judging from the traces left behind, it seems that there was originally a pipe fixed to the wall, which was blown off by someone directly along with the stone wall behind it, and some small arc-shaped broken stones can indeed be seen on the surface of the white sand, and the heavier ones should have sunk into the sand.

Zhang Qixun secretly wondered, who would do it?

If his speculation is correct, this is indeed the kiln where the Zhang family made Hades, then the pipe that was blown up is the vent.

If the Zhang family is trying to cut off their tails, then why don't they just blow up the entire stone chamber together.

Or was there something very serious that happened at that time, so that they left in a hurry before they even had time to sweep the tail, and they could only hastily dispose of the kiln before evacuating.

Combined with the information that the system told Zhang Qixun, it is speculated that the accident that occurred when the Zhang family made the Hades riding corpse and the bronze gate may also be related to their action of blowing up the kiln.

What exactly was that terrible "accident"? Is it related to the parasitic meteorite in Hades' head?

Zhang Qi thought about it for a long time, and felt that if there was a common cause between the two events, it was likely to be the strange meteorite.

Without the materialization of system rewards, it is basically impossible to control that thing without sacrificing a few people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qixun's heart couldn't help but sink.

I'm afraid that the system knew from the beginning of the Overworld line what he would encounter when he entered here in the future, so he was rewarded with the right to use the materialization ability.

Almost every step that Zhang Qixun has experienced since coming to this world has been deduced by it.

Therefore, the origin of the system must be more than what it told Zhang Qixun.

The ancient Lan tribe, the Zhang family, the bronze gate, the meteorite jade, the bronze god tree, and even the Queen Mother of the West in the snake swamp are inseparable from it.

Preventing the end from coming is essentially more like self-help.

[——！ ]

The system gasped in his mind.

Zhang Qixun curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slyly, [Remember to hide your tail next time.] ]

The system realized that he was cheating on himself, and he didn't care about his annoyance, so he quickly got himself up and didn't dare to squeak.

Zhang Qixun didn't continue to test it, he just needed to know that before taking the little brother out of the bronze gate, the system was the same as his own purpose.

In fact, the system can directly manipulate Zhang Qixun's body to achieve its own goals as it did on the previous two occasions, and treat Zhang Qixun as a puppet, but it didn't do that.

Whether it is used as a medium or to hinder cooperation, the help given to him by the system is largely gratuitous, except for the occasional bloodletting, which he doesn't really care about.

It didn't stop Zhang from trying to end the goalkeeper early, saying that it was going to contend with a force that humans couldn't match.

The lifting of the ban in secret, like the dilution of dye, is always revealed in part and in part with the passage of time.

What is the do, what is the do, and what is the must-do.

The real reason?

It's not about value, it's only about artificiality.

There are too many variables in the future, and what Zhang Qixun can do is to take every step, control this variable within the range he can expect, and do his best.

If this is not the place where Hades worships, then the Khamballa people discovered this place by some means and brought the woman to be sacrificed here in an attempt to accomplish something.

Although I don't know the details, it must be related to parasitic meteorite.

Zhang Qixun didn't have time to get to the bottom of it, and continued to observe the statue of Hades, he could feel that there must be a mechanism hidden under the white sand.

He climbed up and down, stomping on Hades' twelve arms, and finally when he stepped on the arm on his left hand closest to Hades's head, the soles of his feet trembled slightly.

"There it is." Zhang Qixun's heart was relieved, and he touched the palm of the hand with his fingers, which was relatively the most obvious movement, and then twisted it clockwise.

Click, click, the palm that was originally facing Zhang Qixun was rotated one hundred and eighty degrees and stuck, and the three words "Zi Si Huo" were engraved on the back of the hand.

"Zi" refers to Zishi, that is, from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., while "Si" refers to the south of the five elements, which belongs to fire, but the direction pointed by the compass is exactly the opposite, which is obviously a retrograde mechanism set up according to the change of the direction of the earth's branches.

Zhang Qixun glanced at the watch on his wrist, and the display time was now seven o'clock in the afternoon during the day, that is, "Chen", and "Chen" in the five elements pointed to the southeast.

He twisted the hand back again, and then quickly climbed to the arm in the northwest position, grabbed the palm of the hand and turned it counterclockwise, and saw that the back of the hand was engraved with "Sihai Water", and the water was in the north.

Zhang Qi found the palm reversal of the south position and got the "Yin Wei Tu", not the southwest, so it was right to find the northeast position.

Zhang Qixun climbed up and down the toss, and turned all the palms of his hands, but the last one to turn was the one that twisted the first time, and this time it was really able to turn counterclockwise.

All the palms were in place in turn, and there was a sound of chains dragging inside the stone statue, and then I saw Hades's head shake, and something fell from the inside of the stone carved armor.

In the next moment, the entire kiln began to shake violently, and the walls also began to shake, as if it were an earthquake, and the white sand under the stone statue suddenly tilted sharply towards the rear, and all the cold fireworks were shaken into the sand.

In the darkness, only a loud roar was heard, like the echo of the inner cavity of the water pipe when the pump was turned off, and then the surroundings slowly calmed down.

The white sand is gone, and the ground at the bottom of the pool is calm, replaced by many stone things similar to bellows and kilns, firmly fixed to the bottom of the sand pool like a sacred beast of the Zhenhe River.

Zhang Qixun sat on the head of the king of Hades, rubbed his stuffy ears, and the cold fireworks burned out and extinguished when they vibrate, and he was about to take out another one when he heard hurried footsteps from the other side of the road.

Soon, the white light of the flashlight flickered, and the figures of Wu Xie and the fat man appeared above the steps.

Seeing that Zhang Qixun was sitting there with one leg hanging down and waving at them with a smile, all beards and tails were not missing, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"What just happened? With such a big movement, I thought this little dilapidated house was going to collapse, not that I would come back after a visit. Wu Xie's tone was cold and swishing, and his eyes were not good.

Zhang Qixun smiled and quickly changed the topic, "Look at this, I found something new, related to Hades. ”

Good night (. -ω-)zzz
