Chapter Ninety-Nine: Into the Enemy's Belly
"This hall is a square hall, and the large columns on the four corners of each floor are the main load-bearing columns. From top to bottom, each down layer, in the southeast, northwest or northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest four directions will have an extra column, these columns are indispensable to maintain the whole Po Si Temple, but the middle of this column, in the Po Si Temple's integrity, this one more move, the snake is added, less is not hindered, more harmless. Jiang Yichen explained.
"What you mean is that this big cylinder has nothing on the outside and emptiness inside, and it is likely that it is used as a secret passage into the cave of withered vines. After Jiang Yichen said this, the red leaves were like an initiation, and the mouth suddenly opened, and at the same time close to the cylinder that required four or five people to open their hands to wrap around, gently knocked on the cylinder surface, and listened carefully.
"If it's really empty, the most dangerous place is the safest, and what is placed under the nose is often subconsciously thought that it is not important, so it is missed, and it is wonderful. However, with this thick material, if you want to break it with brute force, it will take a lot of effort, and if it is earth-shattering, it will be a startling snake. Momiji's hands were already caressing the cylindrical surface, searching for the obvious button.
This cylindrical surface is not carved with dragons and phoenixes, but it is carved with a lot of simple textures, some like clouds, some like wind, some like water and some like fire, all of which are natural things.
"Hey, you've gained something, I've seen those murals carefully, and they don't have any tiger-related patterns. The egg dangled his head and swayed, looking a little depressed, after all, relying on the same painting, Lan Sheng and the three of them had successfully entered the dry vine cave, if they stopped here, it would be too much of a nest.
After the egg was close to the position of the two, he raised his head, and saw that the red leaves were almost lying on the cylindrical surface, and Jiang Yichen was walking around the pillar as if looking at something, and asked suspiciously: "Sister red leaves, what are you doing here?"
"Little egg, come and find out if there is a mechanism button hidden on this cylinder. Momiji didn't turn his head or explain more, just beckoned the egg to join the lineup of groping the pillar.
"Oh. Thinking that the two had deciphered the meaning of the tiger portrait, the egg said no more, and then focused on the column.
After the three of them came to the Hall of Delusion, they had already delayed nearly a stick of incense, compared to the previous unimpeded access, this time they obviously encountered a lot of obstacles, but this obstacle did not come from the opponent's force, but the opponent's wisdom.
"It seems that it is not as simple as we imagined. Momiji looked up at the top of the column, "Although the column is high, if the mechanism is set above, it will lose the original intention of this hall of nonsense." ”
Momiji shook his head, and directly rejected the idea of climbing up the column and finding out what was going on.
"Those three people are really annoying, I don't know how fast the soldiers are, it's better to tell us directly how to get in and out of the withered vine cave to give this broken portrait, let us waste time here, it's really not enough to succeed, and it's more than enough to make mistakes!"
"Don't hurry, it's still a long night, and there are corresponding benefits to giving us a portrait, and maybe we can get more information from the portrait. Seeing that the egg revealed a rare youthful heart, Momiji comforted.
"More information?What can this portrait reveal besides 'bluffing'?" Egg spread out the portrait again, his eyes wide to see why.
"Doing business with Bao Inquire, as long as you pay the same reward, although the answer you get is difficult to guess, but it should not be an incomplete answer, I want to come to Bao Inquire's portrait is not only to borrow the meaning of the tiger to tell us that the hall of vain is the entrance to the Dry Vine Cave, this 'key' should also be included in the portrait, not to mention that Lan Sheng also said that they entered the Dry Vine Cave with this painting. Jiang Yichen also came closer, holding his cheeks and pondering, "Since ancient times, the clouds have been from the dragon and the wind from the tiger, it is ......"
Jiang Yichen seemed to have an understanding, and with an idea, he looked for the carving that looked like a wind on this cylindrical surface, and compared its shape and touch one by one, and finally let him discover the strangeness.
"The carving of the wind, the wind from the tiger!" The egg found the key from Jiang Yichen's target.
Seeing Jiang Yichen suddenly stop and not move, the two of them hurriedly said, "Found out?"
"It should be so, these wind-like reliefs are all raised yang carvings, but the wind here is a few yin carvings, if I expected it to be true, this is where the organ is. While speaking, Jiang Yichen stretched out three fingers to follow the scratches of the Yin carved relief, from beginning to end, from right to left, and gently swiped through.
When Jiang Yichen's action was completed, the secret door hidden on the cylindrical surface appeared its true face, slowly retreated to the back a little, and then gradually moved to the left, revealing the stone staircase passage that spiraled down.
Seeing this, Hongye and Egg were speechless at each other, and could only give a thumbs up, not only admiring Jiang Yichen, but also admiring the wisdom and ability of this Tushi Gang.
"The next step is to be more careful. Momiji was the first to enter the secret door, and reminded at the same time.
"Mmmm, watch your step, don't stick to the wall. The egg then stepped into the stone staircase passage and echoed.
I heard that this heart-warming reminder was given by the people of Buji Island after paying a large amount of remuneration, and they inquired about their conscience.
The withered vine cave where the Tushi Gang is located is the same as the well-known withered vine cave, and it is the same, if you want to distinguish a similarity and difference, it is that the former is the inside of the withered vine cave, and the latter is the outside.
The reason why there is a distinction between here and outside, is just that the Tushi Gang has done some small hands and feet in the Withered Vine Cave, these hands and feet are nothing more than the secret door of the mechanism, however, if you enter directly from the hole near the ancient tree, the first thing to come to is the outside of the Withered Vine Cave, in the already dark hole, just to deal with those dark arrow organs or poisonous insects and snakes and scorpions, it is already left and right, so at that time, if you want to find the inside of the Wirture Cave in the dark, that is, the entrance to the hinterland of the Tushi Gang, if you are not very lucky, you will inevitably be injured by snakes and scorpions, if you touch the hidden weapon set up by the Tushi Gang, it is inevitable to avoid it in a narrow place, and it is easy to die with a whimper。
Therefore, Bao inquired about the nest of the Tushi Gang and another comment, it is difficult to enter the withered vines, and it is easy to get out of the withered vines, and the withered vine hole referred to here is its own inside.
However, Jiang Yichen and the three of them relied on the "key" given by Bao to inquire about the danger of the outside of the Withered Vine Cave and descended to the inside of the Withered Vine Cave.
The difference between this and the outside must be the lights that can be seen everywhere on the stone wall, although it is not bright enough, but it also allows a few people to expand their field of vision.
With the warning of Bao inquiring in advance, the three of them did not dare to be careless, no matter what situation they were in, they tried to stay in the middle of the passage.
Red leaves take the lead, every time they find a figure more than a dozen feet away in front of them, they rush forward, and at the same time hide their figures, and the moment they reappear, the acacia dagger has been pulled out of the throats of those figures, except for the light sound of those minions falling to the ground, there is no superfluous sound.
"Hey! This is the real killer, silence is silent, and movement is a one-hit kill. Two more figures fell in front of him, and the egg couldn't help but sigh, since the three of them entered the inside of the withered vine cave, he and Jiang Yichen have only been following behind the red leaves, and they have no chance to make a move, but even if they let the two of them make a move, although they can quietly kill those little minions, they definitely can't be so quick and neat.
Jiang Yichen was also very emotional about this, Hongye's tricks were the same as the methods of his killer master Han Wuyue, and he was full of internal strength, integrating the surrounding breath with his own body, and he could hide his body shape, which was difficult to see with the naked eye, and only a larger internal force cultivation could perceive it.
Thinking of this, remembering that his internal cultivation had not entered the realm since he entered the sixth layer, Jiang Yichen thought in his heart, just in the meantime, it was time to find an opportunity to meditate and cultivate to break through.
Half an hour later, the three of them came to a huge rift, beneath which was a dark abyss that was hard to see, and above which was a wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge is only six feet wide, but it is twenty or thirty zhang long, and after crossing this wooden bridge, you can reach the place where Lan Sheng and the three of them said.
The three of them quickened their pace and rushed away, still with the red leaves in front, Jiang Yichen and the egg following closely behind.
The accident suddenly arrived when the three of them reached the middle of the wooden bridge, and the ropes at both ends of the wooden bridge broke at the same time, the bridge collapsed, and the three of them were about to be swallowed up by the abyss.
