Chapter 44: The Underground Palace Turbine

"Where's the white horse, that guy is keeping vigil so much that no one is gone!" Mo Qi said angrily, crossing his waist angrily and facing Tranquility.

Ning Jing and Nie Jianfeng were also inexplicable, they both thought that this white horse was timid and useless, what would such a person do without authorization?

Tranquility shouted a few times, but only an empty echo answered her, Tan Ju picked up the backpack on the ground and said, "Are you going to continue looking for that oil bottle, or do you want to keep going?"

Ning Jing took a deep breath and was about to debate with him, but Nie Jianfeng grabbed her, "Now that the white horse is gone, either he was caught, or he was smart and went on the road first, no matter which outcome it is, we can't delay it any longer." ”

Mo Qi also meant the same, "That guy even lost his backpack full of cans of water here, it seems that he doesn't want to trouble us anymore, and he chose to leave alone, we can't help but appreciate it." ”

Tranquility looked at this Mo Qi, who had been protected by Bai Ma Xiao with all his might, and was so indifferent and ruthless, and a wave of anger rose in her heart, "What are you talking about! If it weren't for him, you might have been abandoned in the desert and left to fend for yourself!"

Mo Qi shrugged his shoulders and looked unmoved, "Come on, that black-bellied sword won't leave me behind, he has long been planning to use me to win over Brother Shuo and Senior Tan Ju, hasn't this been confirmed before?" Speaking of this, she looked at Nie Jianfeng meaningfully, her eyes full of tacit understanding.

Nie Jianfeng didn't refute, and Ning Jing was convinced that it was Nie Jianfeng who did it intentionally from the beginning, and it was right, how could such a calm and arbitrary person compromise after listening to the words of the oil bottle?

For the first time in Tranquility's heart, she had an emotion other than love for this man, and that was fear.

Since joining the seventh group, Tranquility's initial motivation for pursuing Nie Jianfeng is the same as almost all girls, just because he is handsome and has a personality, and now in retrospect, she has been led by the nose by such an appearance for more than a year, and it is only now that she realizes that she doesn't know this man at all, and in the environment of survival, he shows a lot of unknown sides.

Her calmness, his strategy, his city, and even his spirit sword skills, she had never seen it.

There was so much to be exposed about such a GSG, and she seemed to understand why the GSG had been modified – even if it was a flash in the pan to bring out the best in her students – because no one was sure who would survive to the end.

Anyway, it won't be her.

She even began to fantasize about what if the helicopter summoned by the last signal flare could only take one person away? Would Nie Jianfeng leave her alone and leave by herself?

The only time this man she didn't know crossed paths with her was the first night he possessed her, and she began to wonder if he was facing her or ...... that night Just treating her like another woman?

Their relationship is not very deep, it is like a play on the spot.

When his thoughts came here, he was completely interrupted by Nie Jianfeng's sudden movements. He gently shook her hand and whispered to her, "I know you can't let go of the white horse, but for now we can't delay, we must reach the end before the remaining enemies." ”

Tranquility looked at the man in front of her, and she didn't know what emotion to use to respond to him.

Looking at the speechless tranquility, Nie Jianfeng thought that she was still hesitating, and said: "Don't worry, the white horse will not be captured, no one will catch a drag oil bottle, and he will not take away his water, so he can only stumble into some secret passage by mistake, and we will see him again." Right now, you're following me. ”

The beginning of a girl's crankiness only requires a look from the person she cares about, but the end also needs only one look.

The current tranquility was obviously persuaded by Nie Jianfeng's eyes and words.

Quiet and docile compromise, there is one less white horse by his side, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

The four of them walked around the dragon chair and walked to the wall on the same side of the dragon wall, and sure enough, there was a door at the other end of the hall, which was very similar to the one that came in.

Tranquility looked at the dragon wall next to her, and asked tentatively, "Aren't we going to take a look at the dragon chair and the table?"

Mo Qi said: "I've been to see it, it's nothing special, the table is not a table, it's a coffin, but it's empty, there's nothing, maybe the school wants to put something in such a big place if it doesn't fit in with the situation." ”

Tranquility nodded thoughtfully, not thinking about it further.

Nie Jianfeng learned from the appearance of Bai Maxiao at the entrance, patted the same position on the stone door, and after a while, the stone gate fell, just like when he came in. He turned on his flashlight and shone it in, but it was still a stone corridor, and there was no end to it.

According to Mo Qi, behind this is a nave, and at the end of the nave is the apse, which is the place where the signal flares are placed.

The four of them walked in, but this time it was a big stride, each thinking, without Bai Ma Xiao, the four of them are extraordinary, and they can help each other in case of danger, not as timid as when there is Bai Ma Xiao, and they can't help but feel a little happy in their hearts, but Ning Jing thought for a while, and couldn't help but turn worried, I don't know where this guy went, I don't worry when I'm there, I didn't expect it to be gone.

Nie Jianfeng walked in front, shining a flashlight on the road ahead, and the three people behind him shone on the walls on both sides from time to time, which was almost exactly the same as the collapsed stone corridor before, without any carving, but it was unusually smooth, but it was not smooth, just like the stone that often had water flowing through, and it had been washed over many years to form such a state.

Tan Ju looked at the stone walls on both sides, and found that there was no wind everywhere here, not to mention that water could flow in, how did such a stone wall come to be? He reached out and touched it, but found that the walls were damp.

"The wall here, something is wrong. ”

All four stopped.

Before they could express their opinions, Mo Qi had already taken the first step to reveal the secret: "I already noticed it when I came, so I looked through this wall and found that the entire nave was in a very strange place. The front hall is under the desert, surrounded by an underground dark river, but the nave and the apse are in a huge underground cave, the stone corridor connecting the nave and the front hall, in the lake at the bottom of the cave, and the walls on the left and right sides of the stone corridor are actually moving, rotating every two hours, the walls on both sides are like fan blades, with the nave as the axis, a total of twelve fan blades, this end is connected to the front hall, that end is connected to the apse, and the distribution of the front, middle and rear halls as a whole is like a 'king' word. ”

Ning Jing was a little stunned when she heard this, Nie Jianfeng saw her like this and knew that she didn't understand, so he explained with his own understanding: "Let's put it this way, the underground palace is like a clock face, twelve o'clock is the front hall, the axis is the nave, six o'clock is the apse, each of the twelve scales has a pointer connection, a total of twelve hands, and every two hours the pointer will rotate to the next scale." ”

Mo Qi clapped his hands, "The summary is very good, I can't think of such a good analogy." ”

Tranquility also understood this distribution, but it didn't work, "What's the design like this? It's just a wall that changes every two hours or so, what's the use of that?"

Mo Qi showed an expression of "you will never think of it", "This wall is not an ordinary wall, I said before that it is like a fan blade, because it is underwater here, and when the twelve fan blades move, it is like a turbine, which will push the water every two hours." I spent the day exploring this dungeon, and I spent the longest here because I wanted to see what it was. Eventually, I found out that there was a clever mechanism in the apse, which would not seep into the water when it was normally soaked, but would open it with a little pressure and let the water flow in. ”

Nie Jianfeng seemed to understand something, "In other words, this design is to send water into the apse every two hours, so what exactly is in this apse?"

Facing the three people with anticipation on their faces, Mo Qi said with some embarrassment: "I also want to see what is in the apse, but unfortunately the periphery of the entire apse is carved with cat heads, I am worried about whether these cat heads will have real cats, so ......"

Tan Ju nodded, "I understand that the Spirit Protector is extremely sensitive to all objects that resemble cats, and will generally subconsciously force the solution. ”

The four of them were silent for a while, all wondering what secrets were hidden in this apse, and the design of such a painstaking design was just to send water into the apse, so what exactly did the apse need water, and it was so regular to send it every two hours.

"Feed. ”

The three of them raised their heads and looked at Tan Ju, not knowing what he meant.

"You say, like feeding water every two hours?"

Everyone gasped, such an arrangement was indeed very similar, and if it was so, then what was the apse closed, and needed such a huge amount of water to feed.

"There's no point in guessing, we'll see soon. Nie Jianfeng dispelled everyone's doubts, and for now he could only move on, and no amount of speculation was just a waste of time.

At the end of the stone corridor is the door again, after retreating the door, the scene of the nave changes to the front hall, not dark and dim, but brightly lit, like the sun at noon, even a little dazzling.

The bright nave was empty, with nothing but a dozen huge pillars bearing the load.

Tranquility opened her mouth wide, she had never seen such a huge building, and it was not only big, but also very empty, she asked Mo Qi incredulously: "When you came, was it the same?"

Mo Qi said: "Yes, this nave is so big, there is nothing, it is a good place for ambushes." ”

Tranquility was puzzled: "There is nothing, is it still easy to ambush?"

Nie Jianfeng's expression suddenly became serious, and his hand gradually leaned towards the hilt of the sword, "If there is nothing, it is easy for people to relax their vigilance, and they tend to ignore these pillars that are used to bear weight, but behind the pillars can hide people, but they can't hide the murderous aura." ”

Tranquility still couldn't understand, and just wanted to ask, she heard a sudden echo of "popping" clapping in the hall, which resounded throughout the palace, and was extremely harsh in the empty and silent hall.

From behind a pillar not far away, a man walked out, this person had yellow hair, was wearing a clean school uniform, his whole body was almost spotless, his face was distinct, two bright green eyes stared at them, but the corner of his mouth was a big smile, clapping a pair of snow-white hands. Following him, seven or eight men came out from behind the pillars around him, and surrounded the four of them in the middle.

Tranquility was unprepared for the sudden encirclement, reaching out for the half-remaining ribbon and watching them warily.

Mo Qi hugged his arms and looked at the group of people who suddenly appeared with a smile, without the slightest panic in his eyes.

Nie Jianfeng and Tan Ju had been waiting for a long time, and they knew that this battle would come sooner or later.
