287, Nine Swords Underground Palace (3)
After a helpless sound, I saw Shen Aotian step forward, his right hand condensed into a sword and slowly raised, an invisible sword qi slowly condensed in his fingertips, and the sword was swallowed, making people's hearts tremble.
Seeing this, Dugu Ming's pupils shrank slightly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he thought in his heart: "I didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for ten years, and Shen Aotian's sword path has improved again." ”
At this time, Shen Aotian's sword pointed at him, and a sword qi broke through the air, hitting the giant stone sword at the top of the underground palace. At the moment when the sword qi hit the stone sword, the spar inlaid on the stone sword began to emit a dazzling light, and then, the muffled sound of gold and iron grinding sounded around the entire palace.
When everyone present saw this, their eyes showed surprise.
After a while, a loud bang was heard from the front of the palace, and eight black iron cables burst out from the wall in front of the palace, with huge spikes at the front of the iron cables, and because of the great force of the shots, the iron cables actually shot over the quicksand around them and shot deep into the sand dunes where everyone was standing.
Then, everyone looked up and saw eight arm-thick black iron cables across the dungeon and the sand dunes, forming an iron cable bridge.
Dugu Ming looked up at the iron rope in front of him, nodded and said, "I see!" I didn't expect that there was such a mechanism in the dungeon, which could shoot out iron cables and build bridges, which was really incredible. ”
Shangguan Nan and Shen Aotian had been to the underground palace before, but there was a trace of helplessness on their faces, once the iron cable bridge was opened, it meant that the underground palace was really going to be opened, and the two couldn't help but worry in their hearts.
Chu Tiannan, Chu Yu and the others all saw this scene for the first time, and their excitement was overflowing.
Chu Yu looked at the entire chain bridge excitedly, and said, "So that's the case, I didn't expect that such an iron cable could be shot out of the underground palace, it's really amazing." ”
Chu Tiannan's mind was calm, and seeing that the iron bridge had been completed, he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart, and said in his heart: "Shen Aotian and Shangguan Nan should have known about the iron cable mechanism for a long time, but the two of them didn't stop those people just now, and the hearts of these two people are really ruthless." In order not to let people see the abnormality, the two have a tacit understanding! ”
Chu Yu suddenly thought of something at this time, and said with a gloomy face: "By the way, big brother, since that Shen Aotian knows the mechanism opened by the iron cable, why don't you stop everyone?" Hmph, I didn't expect him to be one of the six saints, but his mind was so gloomy! ”
"Not really!" Chu Tiannan said lightly: "Shen Aotian should not do this for himself. At first, he didn't have a way to break the iron rope to open it, it should be to cut off everyone's idea of entering the underground palace, so that although some people would die, a catastrophe could be avoided. It's just that later Dugu Ming arrived and broke the key point, and Shen Ao had no choice but to make a move. ”
"That Dugu Ming, is it really as powerful as rumored?" Chu Yu couldn't help but wonder.
Chu Tiannan frowned, and said with a solemn expression: "Yu'er, you also saw the battle of the Great Qin Emperor back then, Dugu Ming single-handedly suppressed the five saints of the Heavenly List, how majestic!" In the following ten years, he used Yin Yuanhua as a puppet to control the authority of Great Qin, and went on expeditions in all directions, so that the situation in Kyushu changed and the war raged. And the power of the Divine Sect has also grown in the past ten years, almost dominating Kyushu! Therefore, Dugu Ming is not a simple person, and we must not take it lightly. ”
"Well, I know Dugu Ming's methods! In the past ten years, he has made frequent moves, and our Nanchu has been suppressed by the joint efforts of Shenzong and Great Qin, and it is also a big loss. Chu Yu said slowly.
Suddenly, Dugu Ming raised his voice and smiled, and said, "Okay, since the iron cable has been opened, let's explore the mystery of this underground palace." After saying that, I saw Dugu Ming stand up, tap the iron rope under his feet, and the person had rushed to the underground palace in the distance like a wind.
Subsequently, the people of the Divine Sect also followed Dugu Ming on the iron rope and went to the underground palace.
Dongfang Yutian didn't say a word, and seeing that the people of the Divine Sect had gone away, he took Dongfang Tomorrow and flew on the iron rope together.
Shangguan Nan, who was not far away, frowned slightly when he saw this, and said, "Brother Shen, I'll take a step first, so as not to be taken advantage of by that Dugu Ming and the stinky snake." After that, Shangguan Nan and the people of the Shenlong Gang also went to the iron rope one after another.
Shen Aotian watched the figure in front of him get farther and farther away, and then sighed and said, "Okay, second brother, third brother, let's go too!" ”
Seeing this, Hua Wuxian and Gu Qingfeng nodded in unison.
Just after the people of the Sword Sect left, the remaining Kyushu sects were suddenly in chaos, and everyone desperately rushed to the iron rope. Eight iron cables are not much, but at this time they are crowded with so many people, and they suddenly keep shaking, and some people who are slightly worse in cultivation are in danger of falling down at any time, and under the iron rope is the land of quicksand.
An hour later, all the people on the dunes arrived at the main entrance of the palace.
At this time, Chu Yu and Chu Tiannan stood quietly in front of the stone tablet not far from the front of the palace, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
"Is this the legendary Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet?" Chu Yu exclaimed.
"yes, that's it!" Then, Chu Tiannan's eyes stared at the stone stele, but his mouth kept reading: "The way of heaven is slim, the way of immortals is difficult to find, the mercy of heaven gives it, those who are destined to get it, ten thousand laws are mysterious, and immortal is immortal!" These inscriptions are exactly the same as the rubbings recorded in the Southern Chu classics! You can't go wrong! ”
"The way of heaven is slim, the way of immortals is difficult to find, the mercy of heaven gives it, those who are destined to get it, ten thousand mysteries, immortality...... Big brother, do you say that there are really immortals in this world? Do the mysteries of all laws and immortality really exist? Chu Yu said confusedly.
"Yu'er, we mortals are just a fine dust under the vast heavenly road, only by going with the flow can we experience the realm of the unity of heaven and man. What immortality and mysteries of ten thousand laws also vary from person to person, if I cultivate to the gods, and finally cultivate to the realm of the unity of heaven and man, then it may not be impossible to achieve! ”
"Big brother, do you also want to be invincible and immortal in the world?" Chu Yu asked.
Chu Tiannan's face changed slightly, and then he sighed and said, "Yu'er, the eldest brother is also a layman." Originally, I thought I didn't care about these things, but when I actually got here, I still had a little hope in my heart. It seems that my state of mind is still not enough, no wonder my cultivation has stagnated in recent years, and this may have something to do with my state of mind. Just because the more I hope, the more disappointed I am, and there are obsessions and obstacles in my heart, and my cultivation stops. It seems that what the master just said is not wrong at all, and I, like those laymen, am also a pathetic person. ”
Chu Yu smiled faintly at this time: "Big brother is wrong, you are different from them." If you think it in your heart, you think about it, and you are very honest, even if you have some attachment, it is better than those hypocrites with different hearts. ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard several quarrels at the main entrance of the palace.
"What the hell is going on in this place? Why doesn't there even have a door to the front of this huge palace? How do we get in? ”
"Nonsense, if this place is so easy to enter, wouldn't all the people above Kyushu be masters!"
"So what do we do now?"
"What to do? You ask me, I ask who goes? It's not my first time here! ”
"It's like, we're all here for the first time, but aren't there people here who have been here before? We don't know how to open the door, don't they know either? ”
"That's it, didn't anyone know how to open the iron cable just now?"
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Aotian's body, and everyone's eyes showed anxious, blazing, and greedy colors. In the eyes of these people, since Shen Aotian knew the way to open the iron cable, he must also know the way to enter the palace, and the reason why these people hadn't moved yet was because of the prestige of Shen Aotian's Sword God and the Six Saints.
Of course, Shen Aotian knew what these people were thinking, but how he explained it, now, no matter how he explained it, it didn't make sense. Because these people present have experienced what has just happened, they will not believe him at all anymore.
Just when Shen Aotian was embarrassed, Shangguan Nan of the Shenlong Gang said loudly in the crowd: "You don't have to think about it anymore, except for Shen Aotian, Lao Tzu also came to this ghost place back then, and the two of us were together, although we also opened the iron rope and came to the place where we are now, but ...... But as all of you are confused, there is no entrance inside. ”
"Where did the Blood Sword come from?"
"That is, it is rumored in Kyushu that the blood sword is a treasure that flies out of the underground palace, if there is no entrance to the underground palace, where does the blood sword fly from?"
"Back then, for a bloody sword, Kyushu was in turmoil, how many people died and had no place to be buried, are those all fake?"
After hearing this, Shen Aotian suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "What Shangguan Longtou said is not bad at all, the blood sword flew out from a wall in front of the palace back then!" As for the mystery, we don't know! ”
After everyone heard this, they were skeptical, and it was only because of the prestige of the Sword Sect and the Divine Dragon Gang that they didn't dare to step forward to make a mistake.
At this time, I suddenly saw Dugu Ming slowly walking to the front of the palace, and then pasted it, stretched out his hand and gently touched the wall, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had noticed something.
After a while, Dugu Ming suddenly turned around and walked in front of everyone and said amazing words.
"The wall in front of the palace is empty, it should be the stone gate that enters the palace, but I don't know what the mystery is, so that the stone door is deeply embedded in the wall, and it is connected with the surrounding walls, which is not easy to be noticed."
Hearing Dugu Ming's words, the crowd exploded again, and everyone chattered and talked non-stop.
"Hmph, I see, isn't it just a broken stone door? Just smash it! ”
"That is, everyone worked together to destroy the stone gate and enter the palace to explore the treasures."
"Good, good ......"
At this time, Xuanlong on Dugu Ming's side smiled coldly, and his voice was extremely sharp. "Hmph, a group of fools, looking at the material and scale of this palace, you also know that this stone gate is by no means an ordinary stone gate, but a broken dragon stone gate made of a whole mountain opening stone, and the weight is hundreds of thousands of catties, not to mention hundreds of thousands of catties. You have to use your own hands to destroy the stone gate, hmph, you can give it a try! ”
Hearing this, the top of everyone's heads seemed to be poured with cold water, and they were suddenly speechless, and their momentum disappeared.
Seeing this, Dugu Ming on the side didn't care, and then said lightly: "What my apprentice said is right, this stone door can not be opened by manpower, but by the organs in the underground palace, it will be opened automatically." We have to find the mechanism to open the stone door! ”
