Chapter 77: Becoming a Mystery in Life
The passage to the treasure dungeon is high and low, but it is quite spacious, and it is not stuffy inside, I don't know how the vent is designed, although it is not clear how large the scale is, but it is built in such a depth, and the hand is not small, and only the power of a country when the Great Moon Clan is strong can do it.
With the footsteps of the two of them, they walked around and around for nearly half an hour, and it seemed that the underground palace was no longer under the shop, but should have reached the deep mountains outside the royal city.
Finally walked through the tunnel and entered the dungeon, the position of the entrance did not seem to be very wide, but there was actually moonlight penetrating, so that people could vaguely see the surrounding environment without torches.
Yuan Miao introduced: "The design of the underground palace is incredible, and the light of the sun and moon above it can shine in through the layers of folding and reflecting on the rock wall. I tried to climb up and found that the walls were treated and polished, but the higher I went, the smoother and bigger the walls became, and I couldn't reach the top with my strength. ”
"In addition, there is more than one entrance to the dungeon, and I have also been to various places, and there are many mechanisms inside, and it is very dangerous if you don't know how to open it, so I gave up later. ”
Yuan Miao took Hua Lan Ting to the entrance, where there were two half-open stone doors with cracks. Yuan Miao said: "This is just the first portal on the first floor of the dungeon, which was originally controlled by a graphic lock, but it has been broken by the first people who came to explore. ”
There were many forks in the road, and Yuan Miao led the way to a second portal after walking a short distance, this time a square tiled stone platform two zhang wide was located horizontally on the ground, and the edge was embedded with an iron ring gripper.
Yuan Miao said: "These two doors don't have any organs, it's just too heavy, I'm afraid it doesn't weigh thousands of catties, it needs to be lifted up completely by force, and there is no large machinery here, so the test is the skill of the people who come, according to my observation, most of the people who have come here have stopped here." ”
After finishing speaking, Yuan Miao sat on the horse with a heavy waist, luckily for a long time, and slowly pulled up the stone platform with a low voice, his face was already like a roasted shrimp, Hua Lanting stepped forward and took a hand, which combined the strength of the two to pull the stone platform apart, revealing a gap that could accommodate one person to enter.
The two of them went down and walked for a long time, before the last portal on the first floor.
This is a gesture lock, and the stone door is carved with intricate hollow patterns that curve like an earthworm labyrinth, like a nine-curved stream.
Yuan Miao said: "Hou Ye told me the gesture route, but I have never practiced it, and I don't know if Hou Ye cracked it himself or if he got the method in advance." ”
Yuan Miao said as he took out an iron rod and inserted it into the lines, and then slowly slid his arms up and down the lines left and right, outlining a route that seemed to have no regularity, only listening to the sound of the bracket turning inside, and finally the stone gate slowly parted to both sides, and a wet and cool breath came to his face.
The two walked in and took a look, the underground palace was not small, full of layers of iron boxes, counted about a hundred, Yuan Miao used an iron rod to pry open one, and there were full of yellow gold ingots neatly stacked inside.
Yuan Miao said: "I estimate that a fully armed army of 50,000 people is more than enough to support him. ”
Hua Lanting shook his head: "It's not enough, let's go, go to the second floor you said." ”
The two of them continued deeper along the diagonal passage behind the dungeon, entering a cold crypt with two entrances to the crypt, a stone door on the front, and a half-human high stone pillar on the right.
Yuan Miao walked to the stone pillar, pointed to the hole on it and said: "Hou Ye told me back then that he had transformed this mechanism, set up a small magic circle, and dripped a drop of his blood, only the blood of people with the same blood can touch the mechanism after fusion, so that the mercury inside flows, and the pressure machine bracket gear turns layer by layer to open the stone door. ”
"Master Hou is really powerful, it is said that this kind of technique is only available in some sects, although there are similar methods in my sect, but because of the different systems, I can't crack it. ”
Hua Lanting didn't speak, but pierced his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the hole, the two waited for a while, but there was no movement at all, and they waited patiently for a while, but there was still no response.
The two glanced at each other, and Hua Lanting frowned and said, "Could it be that after a long time, the magic circle has failed?"
Yuan Miao said: "It stands to reason that it will not, as far as I know, there is no problem with this technique persisting for a hundred years." ”
Hua Lanting squeezed out a few more drops of blood and entered, but there was still no movement.
Yuan Miao looked at Hua Lanting, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and then she said slowly: "This, there is only one explanation for this, you, you are not the heir of the Hou Ye, will it be ......" Yuan Miao means that Hua Lanting is possessed by Yue Jing's body, so the bloodline has changed.
Hua Lanting was also inexplicable, he knew that he was not Yue Jing, but his soul had changed, but his body and bloodline should not also change?
The two looked at each other, and Hua Lanting said to himself: "I am the son of the Hou Ye, there is no doubt that this situation, this situation, is it true that he is not biological?"
He just said it in passing, but he didn't expect Yuan Miao's face to change suddenly when he heard it, and he asked with a stammering mouth: "Dare to ask, dare to ask you in your twenties this year?"
"Twenty-five. Hua Lanting saw that Yuan Miao's expression was wrong, and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Yuan Miao replied glutinously: "I, I'm just guessing, this is really a bit outrageous, it can't be so coincidental, it should be that I'm too gossipy, and my brain hole is too big." ”
Hua Lanting urged: "Don't babble, say anything quickly." ”
Yuan Miao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't say it, although I've seen everything when I'm older, but it's too incredible, it's not like that, I'm scared by my own thoughts." ”
Hua Lanting: "You are also a celebrity, an otherworldly Taoist power, no matter how you say it." ”
"Okay, let's talk about it together, let's talk about it first, don't blame me for making a mistake. ”
"Twenty-six years ago, I got a treasure map of the Great Moon Kingdom, and it was rumored that there was more than one entrance and exit to the treasure dungeon, and there was more than one map, as for why, I don't know, the one I got was not complete. ”
"At that time, my cultivation had stagnated for many years, and I was bored, so I went down the mountain to hunt for treasure to relieve my depression, and I found the entrance to the underground palace according to the map and entered it smoothly. This time I took you directly to the depths, in fact, there are a lot of corridors in the dungeon, that time was the first time I came in, I could only grope around, but because the map was incomplete, I accidentally touched the mechanism and was trapped in a crypt, and I was as anxious as ants on a hot pot but there was nothing to do. ”
"Although I am trapped, my cultivation is not lost, and with my perception I can detect that there are two more people entering the dungeon after me, and according to the characteristics of my actions, I can judge that they are a man and a woman, I can vaguely feel their directions, and they are also searching everywhere in the dungeon. I called for help, but because of the distance, I couldn't hear the thick rock wall, although my spiritual sense was sensitive. ”
The two men later ran into each other, but then it seems that they were also trapped in a secret room. After five or six days, there was not much fresh air left to open the hole, and I almost resigned myself to my fate, feeling that I could only sit and die. ”
"Those two people are not as good as me, you want to be alone in the same room, and you are at the last moment of your life, you want to come or get along, or feel hopeless to escape, oh, what do you want me to say? ”
"Then, I guess it was the two of them who made the last struggle, looking for the last hope, and continued to venture out to find a way out, but I don't know what mechanism was opened, but the two were separated and isolated in two secret rooms. ”
"Then, another day, I could barely breathe, but the two men were probably in a coma. At this time, there was another person who entered the underground palace, this person was a man, he should have a more complete map and a map of the secret passage of the mechanism, and he searched all over the underground palace all the way, and traveled unimpeded. ”
He happened to open the secret room where the woman was, and I can't tell if it was because the woman's natural appearance was too charming, or if the man's character was despicable and he took advantage of the weakness to enter and did something despicable while the woman was unconscious. ”
Fortunately, the man did not kill people afterwards, but continued to enter the treasure hiding place of the second-floor underground palace, probably because he felt that no one could take the treasure away, and then he left. Before leaving, I don't know if he wants to let the woman live, or if the mechanism itself will open and close regularly, I think it's because of this person, in short, the secret rooms around the second-floor dungeon are all open, but the periphery I'm in is still closed. ”
"The secret room opened, the first man and woman woke up later, the two don't know how to discuss, stayed at the door of the second floor of the underground palace for a while and then left separately, and the man's road happened to pass by where I was, I waited for him to go to the vicinity and desperately called for help, he asked about the situation and took a lot of effort to open the crypt and let me out. ”
"I don't say that you can guess it, this person is the Marquis of Qingyuan, Yueye, at that time he was still a guerrilla general stationed in Xiyuguan of the Dust Dynasty, and when he fled after a bloody battle after chasing the enemy army, he coincidentally fell into the passage of the underground palace. ”
"In any case, the Hou Ye has a life-saving grace for me, and if he abandons me at that time, I have no choice but to die, so I later promised him to guard the treasure until he or his descendants came to collect the treasure. ”
"Hou Ye didn't mention the woman at that time, and I don't know the identity and reason of the woman, so naturally I won't be bored to say it. In the years that followed, there were people who secretly explored the entrance to the blacksmith shop, but none of them had a warrant or secret contact information, and they were all killed by me. ”
"That's the case, I can't say much about the rest, you can go if you want. ”
Hua Lanting was dumbfounded when he heard this. This plot is too bloody!
The world of the predecessors and adults really doesn't understand, the Hou Ye is really daring, the woman is really daring, the man is really daring, and this old way is really daring to think. Oh my God, my life experience is really bizarre, and my cheap parents are greater than or equal to two, I feel so embarrassed!
He was stunned for a long time, and could only say: "Yuan Miao, your thinking is unrestrained, much higher than your cultivation, I don't know how strong I am, thank you for the old past." However, although I am a concubine, I say that my biological mother died in childbirth, and I will find out what is the mystery in this. This matter ends here, God knows that you know and I know, you still continue to rot in your stomach. ”
Yuan Miao also nodded awkwardly and said yes.
Hua Lanting's head was big at this time, and he changed the topic and said: "What should I do now?" The gold in the first floor of the underground palace is not enough for the five forces to use to raise troops, and they don't have the help of the Kui Wood Wolf, so the plan to swing the sword and punish the Hun will be greatly affected." ”
Yuan Miao shook his head and couldn't answer, but Hua Lanting suddenly remembered something, and said: "Don't say that I forgot, this mention of Kui Wood Wolf, I remembered that he handed me a piece of jade before he died, and said something to me to crush and help him." As he spoke, he took out the jade gem from his bosom.
He pinched it casually, but it was not broken, and then it was strengthened to fifty percent, and the jade surface cracked, revealing a cloth bag inside, and after unfolding the cloth, there was a crystal clear purple spar inside, and the cloth was full of dense small characters.
By the light of the torch, Hua Lanting read it carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised at first, and then happy.
