The book continued, and said that Dao Yuxin interrupted everyone's speech, signaling that everyone had walked for nearly an hour, it should be almost there, the black lights here are blind, and you can't see the sun, moon and stars in the sky, you can only distinguish the south, south, west, and northwest by feeling, Chu Xunyu relies on forcibly remembering the direction when he comes in to follow the approximate walk, but here is as always crawling with branches and leaves, The rusty bronze city wall, Chu Xunyu smashed it with the hilt of his sword, and then touched it with his hand, and saw the formations and runes engraved on the city wall deep in the branches and leaves, I believe that all of them have become invalid, but there is one thing that Miao Buyan said at the beginning, that is, these branches and leaves have been deeply embedded in the city wall, and they are almost integrated with the Golden City, and in this way, it is estimated that they will completely disappear from the world in a few hundred years.

"Look around. Miao Buyan shouted, everyone groped around on the city wall, Mu Yuan walked a little farther, the purple firelight just dimmed, the surrounding branches and leaves seemed to be alive, and unconsciously climbed to Mu Yuan's upper, Mu Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly jumped back, even patting and slapping off the branches and leaves, it was really alive, how could this thing not move at all, if it wasn't a little dark around and wanted to look down at the road, I wouldn't be able to notice it, of course, the means of the Golden City are far from being comparable, and it will be too late for you to notice it.

After looking for almost half an hour without results, I can't help but be a little discouraged, you must know that everyone is looking up while walking, Dao Yuxin and Miao Buyan can't use their hands to pluck the branches and leaves, otherwise they will be cut out of the wound, this is because they are the body of the cup master after all, even if Miao Buyan cultivates to be taken away, but the foundation is like this, he can't be spared, so he has to widen his eyes and hold the torch to look; Chu Xunyu and the three of them don't have to worry about this problem, forget the dust can be taken out and pulled, but it is too laborious; Chu Xunyu has a lot of brute strength, and he directly uses a sword to cut it; Mu Yuan is the easiest, he doesn't know how, he can pick off a large piece with a finger, Dao Yuxin thinks that it should be his Buddhist cultivation physique that has a unique advantage。

Everyone turned and smeared, and the corners turned for almost two hours without results, Chu Xunyu was already provoked by the sound of Wanhua Mountain, but the clues of the black light were not allowed to enter in front of him, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more uneasy, and he simply pressed down the long sword, and faced the city wall is an old fist to relieve hatred, Miao Buyan couldn't shout if he wanted to, he heard a muffled sound of a fist, Chu Xunyu screamed, but he fell to the ground, holding his shoulders and snorting in pain, everyone hurriedly surrounded him, Dao Yuxin grabbed Chu Xunyu's arm and flipped it, " click", it was picked up again, it turned out that he was dislocated by Zhen, Chu Xunyu said angrily while moving his arm: "It's ridiculous, can this thing dislocate me?"

"It wasn't it. Miao Buyan shook her head helplessly, "There is a reminder in the literature that if you attack with brute force, it will bounce back to you intact, so you dislocated yourself, you asked me at the beginning, did you forget?"

"Oh! yes!" Chu Xunyu remembered that he had indeed read Miao Buyan's translation of Chinese, and he had asked her incredibly, but now he finally realized it.

Mu Yuan said happily: "My Buddha, fortunately you didn't use the little secret trace, otherwise your strength would have to blur your body with your flesh and blood." ”

"Huh?" Dao Yuxin was a little surprised when he heard this, and tilted his eyes to look at Chu Xunyu, "Do you know Wang Luran?"

"Well, I know. Chu Xunyu didn't want to talk about this topic more, so he was pulled up by Mu Yuan and continued to look for the entrance.

Everyone walked for another hour, Mu Yuan's legs were sore, and then they made a discovery, the reason was that Wangchen looked up and saw a black thing at the height of the city wall, I don't know what it was, so I pointed it out, it was too high, pitch black, I couldn't see clearly, and I couldn't fly, but it was difficult for Chu Xunyu to carry the long sword, took a torch and bit it in his mouth, used his hands and feet together, and climbed directly along the fat branches and leaves. Chu Xunyu crawled over and saw that there was indeed a large bag of branches and leaves, and smashed it with his fist, it was soft, so he grabbed the branches and leaves with one hand and pulled out the long sword with the other hand, inserted the blade into it, shook it on both sides, and used brute force to pry it open and take a look inside, but he was overjoyed, put away the long sword and jumped down, shouting: "Nine times out of ten, you have found the right one." ”

"How?"

"Above is a window. Chu Xunyu said happily, "Think about it, that Miao family cup master passed on the news through Xueyan, there must be a window, otherwise he came out through the wall?"

This is reasonable, Chu Xunyu saw that the bulge bag was a dense mass of branches and leaves wrapped in a few broken railings, obviously a window, the Miao family cup master mentioned that he called the passing Xue Yan, it must be by the window, otherwise he can't run out directly to find the swallow, then it is better to run all the way home from the prison, and he also said that he often looks at the scenery outside and is homesick, it is very likely to find the right one, and if there is a dungeon behind this city wall, the entrance must be near here, and the use of the private key is here.

"Look for it. Everyone hurriedly divided up to search on the wall, and there was still no result for a long time, so Wangchen asked: "Let's not be busy looking around, think about what different traces there are at this entrance, there must be a purpose, otherwise there are so many branches and leaves covered here, and the manpower is limited, so it is not good to turn around like a headless fly." ”

"Makes sense. Chu Xunyu weighed the private key in his hand and said, "We have to think about what the door was like at that time. ”

"What's the door like?" Mu Yuan tilted his head and thought for a long time, there were always wonderful thoughts in his head at critical times, he said, "I think, it doesn't matter what the door looks like, what matters is what this door is for." ”

"Nonsense, of course, is in. Chu Xunyu glanced at him.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant. Mu Yuan said angrily, "Ye Langzhong, think about it, when I was a child, every time I went to your family's courtyard in Jiangnan to steal something to eat, how did I get in?"

Chu Xunyu pouted: "You got in from the dog hole in the backyard, and you're embarrassed to say it." ”

"That's right. Mu Yuan slapped his thigh and gestured on the wall, "Let's think about it, the royal descendants of this Luo country are those people with the surname 'Mi', they made private keys in order to sneak in, so this door must be hidden first, I have never heard of making a secret door on the wall to come out, and then plugging in the private key 'click' and it will open, you are a fool when you are the guard inside?" Swaggering in from the outside, you have to beat Zhuang Ji to death, so this door is used for bad things, it must be very hidden, and you have to start from unexpected places. ”

"Unthinkable places?" Chu Xunyu pointed to both sides with his fingers, "There is no 'unexpected place', it is nothing more than walls, leaves, leaves, walls, you can think of it if you can see it." ”

"No, no, no. Mu Yuan took the torch and looked at the opposite distance, "I am the best at stealing chickens and dogs, maybe there will be differences in the knowledge of what architecture, but the knowledge of stealing things has not changed much since ancient times, it is nothing more than 'the moon is dark and kills the night, the wind is high and the day is set on fire', and it also pays attention to a time, place, People, there are guards patrolling the city walls, if the Golden City is really as dark as day as the old god Zhuang Ji boasted, then the door is definitely not near here, even if it is lit up at night, the guards can find it at a glance, and it is useless when the weather is good. ”

Mu Yuan walked farther and farther away from the city wall, towards the woods, everyone hurriedly followed, Mu Yuan looked left and right, and found that there was a piece of mountain col slightly raised, stretching out a large area in the distance, Mu Yuan looked at the direction of the city wall: "By the way, here lie down on the ground and stick to the ground, the lights are limited at night, and the shade can not be seen, after all, it is not possible during the day, the sun is still different from the overhead and by the lights, and it is best here at night." ”

Then Mu Yuan walked back, squatting down to look at the root of the wall, Chu Xunyu asked, "What are you playing again?"

"It's a good location. Mu Yuan said, "I was looking for your dog hole, but how can there be any dog hole on the city wall? So I thought, there are drainage ditches near the old house, not to mention anything else, the wind and rain always have to drain it, I don't think about the mountain flood, you can't expect an emperor to swim around in the water every day, the civil and military officials are about to soak the taste of pickles." ”

"It seems to be here. Chu Xunyu used his long sword to pry open the corner of the wall, and found that the city wall here extended down compared to other places, it should have been dug deep at the beginning, forming a drainage gully, and extending to the slightly higher slope place that Mu Yuan found in Shunlin just now, because those slopes are high and low to the distance, so that the water can flow down the terrain, otherwise the straight and upward terrain water will not flow, so what's the use.

"Pick it up!" Dao Yuxin issued an order, feelings! She couldn't touch the body of the eldest lady, and the coolie had to be done by Chu Xunyu, and the three of them even pulled and dragged along the direction of the ditch, and found that there was a drainage outlet at the slope, about one person high, sealed by a railing, leaving only a gap in the water, but now it was also entangled with branches and leaves.

"It's not like a place to use private keys. Chu Xunyu took the private key and compared it for a long time, but he couldn't find the keyhole.

"That's where people come in. Mu Yuan didn't care about the front of the torch at all, but knocked on the bronze ditch near the drain to check, "In other words, I wouldn't be stupid enough to open my mouth there, there must be guards every day to see if the drain is blocked, and you leave a keyhole for others to grab their braids? It should be somewhere around here, such as ......" Speaking of this, Mu Yuan stopped, and he knocked to a place high and low at the knee, and the sound was a little wrong.

Chu Xunyu squeezed over and pried open the branches and leaves to see that it was also made of ordinary bronze city bricks, but the sound of the place Mu Yuan found just now was wrong, there was no sound of other bronze metal, but it was slightly dull, Mu Yuan touched it for a long time, and said to Chu Xunyu: "Smash it open, be more relaxed, don't hurt yourself." ”

"Not really. Chu Xunyu tried the size of the range back and forth, "I don't need much strength in such a small place." After speaking, he slammed the hilt of the sword, and it was smashed directly, revealing a hole that happened to fit the shape of the private key.

"That's people. Mu Yuan said proudly to the stunned crowd, "Stealing things can be regarded as walking together." ”

"Hollow bricks?" everyone was overjoyed. Chu Xunyu got close and said, "No! there's something in it." After speaking, he pulled it with his hand, and it was an ancient wooden box.

"Is there a formation on this?" Dao Yuxin recognized the ancient Miao inscription engraved on the box.

"This is made by the flower maple totem. Miao Buyan touched it with her hand.

"Oops, it doesn't seem to be locked yet. Mu Yuan said happily, "It turns out that the 'Mi' family of Naluo Country also left us a gift to reward us for finding the entrance." ”

"Stop dreaming. Forget Chen said angrily, "In case it's the same mechanism as the public loser, open the 'rub' and a poisonous arrow flies out, and we're all finished." ”

"Just try it, the box mechanism can't scare people to death now. "Chu Xunyu has experienced the war between the two dynasties and has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing, this kind of trap box has a common problem, that is, waiting for others to open it, so just put the lid mouth in the opposite direction outside, and then stand far away and pick it open, Chu Xunyu put it in the distance and gently picked it open with the tip of his sword, and the result was ...... Nothing happened.

"That's the end?" Mu Yuanle said, "There's no mechanism, it's a gift." After saying that, the first one ran over to see.

Everyone gathered and found that the box contained a bunch of miscellaneous things, there were dried herbs, which were foamed when pinched by hand, and some of the bones of some animals that I don't know what kind of animals were burnt, and there was a long worm-like cup in it, which was about to turn into stone, and the box was also engraved with very precise ancient Miao Wen, Dao Yuxin suddenly realized and said: "I understand, it is really a kind of formation matching cup, it is because it has not penetrated this hollow brick because the vines of Shiniu Wanhua Mountain have not penetrated this hollow brick for so many years, otherwise the keyhole will be wasted." ”

"Not bad. Miao Buyan agreed, "The box is carved by Huafeng Totem, and it is the same as the Ghost Fire Cihang in our hands, this thing is afraid of Wanhua Mountain." ”

"That's the gift. Mu Yuan's disappointment was swept away, and Mei Zizi said to Miao Buyan, "Sect Master, I found the entrance, right?" ”

"yes. Miao Buyan nodded.

"Then I'm the first credit?"

"Yes. ”

Mu Yuan smiled evilly and pointed to the box: "Then you have to give some reward, it's inconvenient to go back to the main altar, but fortunately, I'm not particular about this person, just a heart." ”

"Here you go. Miao Buyan smiled helplessly and shook her head, and said, "But when you go back to the sect, you have to take it out first, so that we can study and understand the methods of this ancient Dian Kingdom, and after figuring out how to do it, you will take it home." ”

"That's for sure, that's for sure. Mu Yuan hurriedly put it away.

Chu Xunyu looked at him with disdain: "I said Bajie, you can't change your problem of taking sheep and plucking geese, no matter where you go, you always have to bring something out, and if you don't pick up things when you go out, it's a loss." ”

"What words. Mu Yuan was anxious, "Do you think that everyone in the world is your family, what you want when you are born, I was carried into the mountain gate when I was a child, and I didn't even have a kite made of paper, let alone the dazzling toys in your room." ”

"Didn't I lend it to you? ”

"That's not mine, either. ”

"Didn't I end up with nothing? Chu Xunyu patted his clothes, "I was expelled from the poor bare ass, and there was only one piece of clothing left, which was sewn for me by my sister and has been worn for so many years." ”

"Then you take it, if you don't take it, you won't let me take it? I'm so poor and afraid, I don't even have a noodle person pinched by Uncle Wang at the mouth of the alley, you can buy it every month at that time, and you can buy both of them, and your sister doesn't want to give them to you." ”

"Okay!" Wangchen pointed to the keyhole and said, "What kind of mess is it, what kind of noodle pinching people are you arguing with in the most mysterious place for thousands of years? After speaking, let everyone see Dao Yu Xin Tieqing's face.

"Don't look at me. Dao Yuxin glared at Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan, "I was going to kill the two of you just now and take the key to open the door myself." ”

"It's all you. Chu Xunyu glanced at Mu Yuan, hurriedly squatted down, pressed the private key in, and when he turned around, there was a click, and the surrounding branches and leaves trembled, Chu Xunyu stood up and tried it with his hand, and shouted: "Force!"

The three of them pushed together, "click, click, click", the heart-scratching sound of bronze friction came, and a narrow secret door was pushed open
