Chapter 553: One Man and One Sword Break the Water Gate (I)

The armor pattern of the Dark Night Rider appeared in the Yanyang Imperial Mausoleum, and was also used to decorate the secret passage into the Imperial Mausoleum - "Water Gate".

This kind of unbelievable coincidence flashed quickly in the minds of the four people, and Lin Manliu felt the most profound about the disbelief.

He knew that the whole army of the Dark Night Rider was the handiwork of Na Su Qi, and it can be seen from the news in her mouth that the Dark Night Rider was only secretly operated over the years, even if it was early.

But at this moment, judging from the carving of the "Water Gate" stone slab, it can only prove one point, this mysterious army that only obeys the orders of the imperial power, their identity has existed since the Yanyang Dynasty unified the north and the south...

At the beginning, it may have been a royal guard shaped like the Lu family's private soldiers, who were specially subordinate to the king of a country of the Yanyang Dynasty.

Next, as the position of the Yanyang Dynasty became more and more stable, this mysterious army sank under the mountains and rivers with history, hidden between the Yanyang territory.

Until the end, it became the profitable chess piece of Su Qi who overturned the world, even after his death was eliminated, he could still control the entire trend of the hot sun according to the established layout.

This is... Is it a night ride that lives to die?

Lin Manliu lost his mind for a short time, and was reawakened by Pei Yiqing's words.

"Most of those two people returned to the Manifestation Qilin Hall from here, let's scatter and look around to see if there is a mechanism that can open the stone door!"

Lin Manliu came back to his senses and nodded.

The boy looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual on the water, so he dived back into the water.

Looking at the relationship from top to bottom, Lin Manliu noticed more things than when he ascended before.

In the four corners of the darkroom, there seem to be four iron cable rings?

Lin Manliu gestured to the other three in the water, and he swam to one of the iron cable rings first.

When he got closer, Lin Manliu suddenly found that the iron cable ring in front of him, which had been soaked in water all the year round, was the same as the corpses outside that were not rotten or damaged, and there was no trace of rust at all...

The human body can be inhibited with medication, so how to delay the iron?

A conjecture suddenly flashed in Lin Manliu's heart, what if those corpses were not affected by any drugs in front of them, but the mysterious black mist they saw before entering the water, which could keep the corpses from rotting and rotting, and at the same time, also make the iron stainless...

The mysterious black fog that had been silent around the Coiling Dragon Pillar was probably the source that made the entire Yanyang Imperial Mausoleum weird.

Lin Manliu turned sideways to look at the other three who were already in place, he gestured to all three of them to prepare, and then pulled towards the iron cable ring.

The four people exerted force at the same time, and the iron cable ring located in the four directions of the dark room was pulled towards the center at the same time.

Click-click-

In just a few breaths, the stone door painted with blue-faced fangs on the water surface immediately opened, and Lin Manliu and the four people invariably looked at the "water gate" that was being opened.

But their euphoria did not last long, and as soon as the stone door opened, a great suction force came from under their feet, and the water began to flow along the groove where they came, and the distance between the entrance of the "water gate" and the surface of the water was widened.

The water is falling!

Pei Yiqing, who was the first to notice this, ignored the discomfort of the water invading his nasal cavity, and opened his mouth to remind the other three.

"Put... Let go... Quick..."

The indistinct whimper made Lin Manliu and the four of them react, and quickly withdrew the strength of pulling the ring.

The iron cable loops returned to the four corners of the dark room, and the stone doors above everyone's heads closed again, the only constant was the water level that had fallen.

Under Pei Yiqing's gesture command, the four of them returned to the water again to breathe.

Lin Manliu looked at the stone door that needed to be stretched out all his arms at this moment to barely reach it, and felt a little annoyed in his heart.

If you pay more attention to yourself... There may be an opportunity for trial and error.

But in this world, how many ifs?

Before everything goes, you need to be well prepared.

Just when Lin Manliu was laughing at himself in his heart, he saw Pei Yiqing's side face, and there seemed to be blood oozing out of his mouth and nose!

He immediately asked: "Senior Brother Pei, but is it caused by the underwater shouting just now?" ”

Pei Yiqing raised his hand and wiped it from the tip of his nose, looking at the scarlet with unusual blood, and forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face.

"What a big deal I should have... No problem! ”

When Lin Manliu was about to continue speaking, Pei Yiqing raised his hand to stop the young man's speech.

"This time I have to sneak into the imperial tomb, I have to arrange it! I'll leave it above the water later, and the three of you pull the ring as fast as you can, and when I'm inside, you'll return as normal..."

Before Pei Yiqing's arrangement was finished, a touch of scarlet came out from the corner of his mouth again.

He held his breath and swallowed the "boiling blood" that had surged up in his throat again, and continued in a flat tone.

"Inside the Water Gate, most of them are connected to the entrance of the inner hall of the Imperial Mausoleum, and when the time comes, I will try to open the gate from the inside to the outside, and you will answer me from the outside..."

Lin Manliu shook his head and rejected Pei Yiqing's proposal.

"Senior Brother Pei is worried about the danger behind the Water Gate, then you should also understand your own situation now, after rashly breaking into the Water Gate, if you encounter a siege by the Dark Night Riders... How long can you hold out? ”

The young man who broke through the other party's strange body raised his wrist and put it to his mouth, untied all the "iron clothes" tied as a gauntlet, and then threw it at Pei Yiqing.

Lin Manliu said loudly: "Later, I will enter the Water Gate, this 'iron suit' has excellent toughness, after the three of you return to the Manifestation Qilin Hall, you can bring a few more people down, so that they can enter the Water Gate again with this thing!" ”

Pei Yiqing looked at the black cloth roll in his hand, and after being silent for a long time, he was no longer entangled.

"Later, if you can, wait until we get back before we make the next move!"

Lin Manliu pulled out the Spring Window Butterfly behind him and tied the rope that originally fixed the sword body to his forearm.

He replied, "Well, it's not going to die!" ”

In this way, the order of entering the water gate has been clearly divided, with Lin Manliu taking the lead in entering it, and then Pei Yiqing took people back to this dark room.

Lin Manliu took a deep breath and took one last look at the three people who had dived back close to the iron chain.

He waited for the stone door above his head to open again, and after the blue-faced fangs opened his mouth again, Lin Manliu, who was closest this time, suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp.

It was exactly the same as what he felt in the Manifestation Qilin Hall before, and he watched the blue-faced fangs in front of him slowly grow their mouths, just like when the dragon first opened its mouth to spew water.

They seem to have "come to life"!

Since Lin Manliu infiltrated the Imperial Mausoleum, this feeling has become more and more subtle...

The bronze carriage of the Great Array of Burning Sun is just "live" with the help of wheels.

The fierce unicorn statue in the Manifestation Qilin Hall was the "living" of a living creature under the urging of the organ.

And the mural painting of the dragon's head pattern, as well as the slate door painted with blue-faced fangs in front of you, are all a real and strange "life".

It is as if they should "live" like this from the beginning of their creation, and they can "live" without the help of other external forces.

Under Lin Manliu's gaze, the "Water Gate" became able to accommodate him to enter it alone.

Lin Manliu immediately shouted downward: "Boy, go!" Come back as soon as you can! ”

After saying that, Lin Manliu's body moved, and the turquoise sword intent in his hand slashed towards the corner of the stone gate, so as to rush into the "water gate" with his strength.

......

Lin Manliu had just stepped on the ground, and the slate door under his feet had already closed, and at the last moment when the slate door was closed, he saw the three of them return to the groove, and his heart also settled down.

The boy clenched the night pearl in his hand, leaving only a very small side of it, which was used as a light inside the "water gate".

At this moment, it is not yet possible to assert that the Dark Night Rider has penetrated thoroughly, in case they are ambushed behind the gate of the inner hall, or in the middle of this water gate, then Lin Manliu will have to fight alone.

It didn't take long for Lin Manliu to touch a wall hanging that should be to prevent torches, and after pulling back and forth a few times to confirm the firmness, Lin Manliu fixed the "iron suit" on the wall hanging, leaving it as an opportunity for Pei Yiqing and others to enter the "Water Gate" again.

Lin Manliu began to walk towards the front of the road, and it didn't take long for his vision to widen.

He looked at the brand-new dark room in front of him, and he could faintly discern it by the night pearl in his hand, and the dark room he was standing in at this moment was almost exactly the same as the previous underwater dark room.

Under the sheepskin scroll, there has never been such a dark room...

Lin Manliu carefully recalled the "Water Gate" structure diagram drawn on the sheepskin scroll, and at the same time began to look towards the four corners of the dark room.

With the same arrangement, the same iron cable ring, and the same room size, Lin Manliu immediately looked up at the roof of the dark room.

The slate door engraved with the blue-faced fangs appeared in the eyes of the young man again!

The entire dark room was suddenly filled with weirdness and ominousness, and Lin Manliu only felt a chill in his back and a chill in his heart in such an environment.

Just as Lin Manliu stopped in place, about to think, suddenly a strong wind swept towards the back of his neck.

In such an environment where the pin drop could be heard, Lin Manliu's perception was extremely keen, and when he had just noticed movement behind him, his body instinctively fell forward.

After Lin Manliu dodged the strong wind, the Spring Window Butterfly on his forearm immediately spun towards the rear.

The sword is flying lonely!

The emerald green sword light flickered in the dimly lit room, and after colliding with something unknown behind Lin Manliu, a burst of sparks rose from the surface.

And then there was the sound of several blades colliding!

Qiang Qiang - Qiang -

At the same time that Lin Manliu turned around, with the help of this spark flicker, he took a look at the person who made the sneak attack.

Sure enough, it's a dark night ride that sneaks into the imperial tomb!

They haven't gone far yet!

Lin Manliu flicked his wrist, and the Spring Window Butterfly, which was about to be stopped by the Dark Night Rider, immediately flew back and soon returned to his hands.

The Dark Night Rider who suddenly appeared behind Lin Manliu was obviously shocked by his sword trick, and his figure first retreated sharply, opening up a distance from Lin Manliu.

Lin Manliu also looked at the other party vigilantly, and always paid attention to the changes around him.

There can be two people who ambush them through the "Water Gate"... Then there must be only a lot more people blocking the way behind the "Water Gate" in front of you.

The two looked at each other, and when the dark night rider saw that Lin Manliu did not take the lead, he changed the knife in his hand to a reverse grip.

After a while, a fierce light flashed in the eyes hidden under the armor, and the whole person suddenly rushed forward!

Lin Manliu immediately leaned over, first passing by the other party, and then with a flick of his wrist, the emerald green sword light slashed up obliquely from the bottom to the top, pointing directly at the neck of the dark night rider!

The latter is a battle-hardened soldier after all, and his keen capture of killing opportunities is stronger than ordinary people, even if Lin Manliu's shot is fast and decisive, he is still aware of it.

Seeing the turquoise sword light coming, the dark night rider not only did not dodge, but rubbed the armor on his head diagonally towards the sword.

Another burst of sparks splashed above his armor, and Lin Manliu couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, why didn't he hide?

And the spring window butterfly, as an auxiliary sword for four seasons, is naturally one of the four swords in the world cast by Sword Peak in the past, and the materials for casting the four swords are extremely extraordinary, why do they frequently hit sparks on the armor of the Dark Night Ride?

Just when Lin Manliu hesitated, the figure of the black night cavalry soldier rushed forward again, and Lin Manliu had to temporarily avoid its edge in order to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Lin Manliu had a premonition in his heart that there must be something wrong with the armor that the black night rider was wearing in front of him!

The boy held the spring window butterfly in one hand and the night pearl in the other, and in the dimly lit room, the scene of his struggle with the dark night rider was like two flames swaying in the air.

And every time the latter rushed forward, it was a posture of ending up together, and after the knife in his hand was cut out, the whole person's body was about to crash towards Lin Manliu.

In the endless battle between the two, Lin Manliu always had to fight with him in a short battle, just like the situation when he had just chopped the armor and face armor, the spring window butterfly hit the knife, which would also cause sparks to splash.

Lin Manliu was not without gain in this grappling with you, and through his temptation again and again, he could finally confirm that in this dark room with no exit, there was only this strange behavior of the Dark Night Rider.

But just when Lin Manliu made up his mind and decided to kill the person in front of him, the behavior of the black night rider became even more weird.

He suddenly threw away his sword, and his hands began to pound on his shoulder armor and breastplate, the force becoming more and more exaggerated with his movements.

It wasn't until Lin Manliu saw that the other party had beaten the two shoulder armors alive with just one of his own hands, and Lin Manliu finally reacted to the intention of the other party to wear armor.

Under the shoulder armor of the night rider, black powder slipped out of it, and the pungent smell also spread to Lin Manliu's body.

Gunpowder!?
