Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Secret Passage of the Underground Palace

"This is the door opening mechanism in the depths of the dungeon, and it is similar to what I expected, these ghost soldiers and ghost generals are not a trap for intruders, but a test. ”

Groping for the stone pillar that rose from the ground, Ye Ling quickly noticed that there was a stone tie rod on this stone pillar that could be cut out.

He didn't rush to pull it, what if this was a pretense to get rid of his trap in seconds?

Ye Ling looked at Garcia, he had to let her be vigilant first.

Garcia was concentrating on cleaning her wrist armor.

"Hey, Xiaoya?" Ye Ling raised his voice slightly: "How do I feel that you are careless, don't you want to see the secret treasure in the dungeon earlier?"

Garcia bit her lip, "The treasures of the evil spirits, you need to take them, just take them, and I will purify them for the rest." ”

"Well, I forgot about it. Ye Ling shrugged.

"Mr. Ye, what exactly is the thing you just gave me? It's so hard to clean up......"

Ye Ling didn't look back, waved his hand at her and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you, you don't have to ask." ”

"No, I've got to make sure there's any-"

"Horse manure!" Ye Ling was a little impatient, "Xiaoya, you are a good person, but you are too dogmatic." ”

"Okay, I'll try to correct it. Garcia was slightly perfunctory, and the conversation changed again, "Isn't there anything else but horse manure?"

Seeing Ye Ling staring at him with a strange expression, Garcia knew that she had said too much, so she rolled her eyes in embarrassment and said, "I mean, just a piece of horse manure can fix this big guy?"

"Ah, of course there are some other additions, but don't worry, they are all serious herbs, and they have nothing to do with those ghosts and monsters. ”

"Don't underestimate this thing, this is what I specially asked for from the government office, the horse manure of adult war horses in the barracks, it's not easy to do!"

Ye Ling and Garcia said a few words, saying that the Hongyuan Human Race was able to defeat the powerful Mountain Ghost Clan back then, and from a certain point of view, it was this little horse dung.

For some reason, the Mountain Ghost Clan is extremely afraid of this rather disgusting thing, especially the war horses that have been fighting all year round.

Ye Ling knew that the tomb he was going to go down belonged to the king of mountain ghosts, so he asked the government to contact the nearby defenders in advance and got such things.

At that time, it happened that Ye Ling surrendered the Shi clan in prison and thwarted Chen Mo's escape plan, and the government didn't know how to express his gratitude, after all, these things were done by Ye Ling, and the entire Hongyuan Empire knew that Ye Ling was not short of money.

At this time, Ye Ling took the initiative to speak, and he only needed to walk a basket of horse manure.

This can make the government government happy, if everyone is like this in the future, do good deeds, don't need finances, just a basket of this kind of thing, the government can really be regarded as rich.

"I made a note that when I came back, I was going to bring this method back to my homeland. ”

"Then you may have to take a few Hongyuan war horses away. ”

The two of you talked to me, and they chatted for a few idle days, and their physical strength recovered a lot, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

"Okay, I'll pull the mechanism, you pay attention to the movement around you, as long as there is an abnormal sound, let's escape. ”

After speaking, Ye Ling twisted the lantern on his waist to make the light shine more, and raised his hand to press down the stone lever.

Galala –

There was a loud noise, evident from under their feet.

However, Ye Ling waited for a long time, no traps appeared, and no new passages were opened.

Ye Ling felt that something was wrong, it seemed that there was a problem with the method of opening the mechanism.

Soon, by the light of the lantern, he began to carefully examine the surface of the stone pillar.

The stone pillar has a smooth surface and a plain appearance, with no obvious patterns or writing.

However, on the handle of the lever, two small rings are engraved on top of each other.

"Double-locked...... This is the code left by the craftsman. ”

Ye Ling groped his fingers for the gap between the handle and the stone pillar, and sure enough, he found that in an inconspicuous position, there was also a rice-grain-sized ancient Hongyuan script: "Double." ”

"This is a hint left by the builder, this is a two-person trap that requires two people to operate different levers at the same time to open the next tombway. ”

Garcia was puzzled: "Why did the grave builder leave a hint? This kind of mechanism is very complicated to build, and I don't want to be discovered." ”

Ye Ling turned around and said slowly: "You may not be very sensitive to Hong Yuan characters, but if you think about it, how can there be Hong Yuan characters in the tomb of a mountain ghost clan?"

Garcia pursed her mouth, and after thinking for a maximum of three seconds, she suddenly realized, "I understand!"

Ye Ling nodded: "Yes, the Mountain Ghost Clan obviously doesn't know such a complicated trick, so they must have captured a lot of Hongyuan craftsmen, and these craftsmen secretly left tips, hoping that one day in the future, if their own clan comes here, they can smoothly take away the treasures in the tomb." ”

"Looks like we're going to take a look at the fork on the right, what's ——?"

Halfway through Garcia's words, she suddenly found that behind Ye Ling, on a stone wall diagonally above, there was a sudden movement, and the stone wall, which was roughly a foot square, actually flipped over, revealing a hidden passage!

Then, a monster with a huge head and a very small body, carrying a bucket in its hand, was about to jump out of the secret passage.

Seeing that the school yard was in shambles, and hearing Garcia's cries, the monster was visibly frightened, threw the bucket away, and turned to flee.

The passage then closes again.

It was too late, it was fast, Ye Ling's reaction was amazingly fast, and he actually threw the dragon elephant knife on his waist before the secret passage was completely closed.

"Don't try to run!"

With a bang, the dragon elephant knife was so horizontally oblique, stuck between the secret passage and the stone wall.

I only heard a few abnormal noises from inside the stone wall, and the force of the stone door closing, not to mention thousands of catties, but the dragon elephant knife was immovable, and it didn't even bend.

Ye Ling was dressed in black leather armor, his movements were light, and he arrived at the stone wall one step earlier, the big-headed monster was obviously not good at fighting, and before Ye Ling could get started, he actually stumbled by himself, his big head fell to the ground, and he fainted.

Garcia came to feel that Ye Ling reached out and squatted down, pulled her into the secret room, and took the dragon elephant knife with his hand.

The stone door rumbled shut, but fortunately both of them had lanterns to illuminate, and it was not dark in this secret passage.

I saw that in this secret passage, there were splashed dark red stains, large patches, and this indescribable stench was still enveloped.

"You can't stay in this place for long, go find the exit on the other side!"

After Ye Ling finished speaking, he took two or three steps out, first picking up the big-headed ghost lying on the ground.

This ghost is not nothing, and even when Ye Ling has a hand to touch it, it is actually a little warm.

He flipped the big-headed monster over, and then, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Hong Yuanren ......"
