Chapter 55: Discovering the Secret Passage

"My lord, there's nothing in there. Chu Zhenye wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at King Huan, who had a slightly gloomy face.

King Huan pressed his temple: "There is a secret passage leading to the dark palace in the Ming Palace, keep looking, you will definitely be able to find it." ”

Chu Zhenye said: "But the little prince is not here, and those organs are not light, how can they be found?"

King Huan also saw the powerful news of the puppet palace organs, and became silent when he heard this: "Go, order everyone to gather in an open space and find a shady place to rest." ”

Chu Zhenye received the order and was about to pass the order, when he suddenly heard Chen Huayi's surprised voice: "My lord! ”

King Huan suddenly got up and pulled Chu Zhenye: "Let's go, go and see." Chu Zhenye sighed because he was resting in the soup, but without delay, he followed King Huan to the place where Chen Huayi shouted.

The four pillars of the hall were relocated, and the ground in the middle exposed a stone staircase large enough for one person to enter and go down.

King Huan looked around, but didn't see any mechanism, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?"

Chen Huayi pointed to a pillar beside him: "My lord, please look, if you look closely, you can see the difference in color of this relief, and there are extremely hidden cracks around it." Not only this one, but all of the pillars in it can be seen. The subordinates dared to try it, and the four of us pressed the button at the same time, and found that the pillar could be pushed, so we pushed it. ”

King Huan did not blame him for his self-determination, and thought for a moment: "Fetch the torch, I'll go down and have a look." ”

Chu Zhenye was stunned and said, "My lord will go down in person, it's too dangerous, right?"

Chen Huayi said eagerly: "My lord, if this is really a secret path to the dark palace, it must be full of dangers, and it will take a long time. We won't hold the adults back, and it's easy to solve problems when we encounter them. ”

King Huan groaned slightly: "Chen Huayi, you go to the Seven Killing Army and pick a few nimble people to come over." Chu Zhenye, you go and call Tao Zhe and them over. ”

Chen Huayi asked, "Do you want to pick anything?"

Chu Zhenye asked, "My lord, are you bringing those light skills?"

The two spoke almost at the same time, but King Huan heard clearly: "Pick anywhere, pick the right one, about fifteen to twenty people." Since it is to deal with the organ sect, it is necessary to be physically flexible. Let them bring the necessary weapons, travel lightly, and have a fire breaker in their hands. By the way, explain to everyone that you are here and do not do anything unnecessary. Three days as the boundary, if we don't come back, let them go to Brother Jiu's Seven Killing Army garrison to contact Brother Jiu, and don't have to look for us. ”

Chu Zhenye should be, Chen Huayi spread his hands and said: "Let's say these words in person, it's not appropriate for us to say it." ”

King Huan hesitated, nodded, and stepped out.

The seventeen people selected by Chen Huayi were all relatively thin, and even Shen Yifan, the deputy general sent by King Xin to command this part of the Seven Killing Army, was also called. King Huan looked at it and felt that there was no problem, so he said, "Everyone has given me all the mental response, understand?"

Twenty-six people should have said yes in unison.

They are all elites, so there is no need to say anything superfluous. King Huan said directly: "Then let's go in." He took the torch in Chu Zhenye's hand and walked in.

When I went down the stairs, I was blocked by a stone door in front of me. There is a pattern painted on the stone door, two horizontal and two vertical, nine depressions, and next to it are nine stone blocks, from one to nine, the size of which is exactly the same as the depression.

Chen Huayi blinked: "This is the Nine Palaces?"

King Huan bowed his head: "It looks like this." But why do you feel so naΓ―ve? The first door of the secret passage connecting the two houses is this kind of thing?"

"Adults are afraid of fraud?" Chen Huayi tilted his head to look at the door, and then looked down at the stones, "My lord told me how to put it, I'll try it." ”

King Huan nodded in agreement: "Everyone takes five steps back." He also took a few steps back: "Xun Palace fills four, Zhen Palace fills three, Gen Palace fills eight, Ligong fills nine, Middle Palace fills five, Kan Palace fills one, Kun Palace fills two, Dui Palace fills seven, and Qiangong fills six." Pointing his fingers down from the upper left corner one by one, Chen Huayi placed the corresponding stones as he said.

There was a dull sound, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a dark corridor. Chen Huayi grinned toothily and made a gesture of success.

King Huan also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted him: "Hurry up and go forward, pay attention to your step." "Pass by him and walk inside.

Everyone knew that they were careless, so they held their breath and condensed, and walked slowly behind King Huan, their fingers never leaving the weapon.

On the contrary, King Huan is the least nervous one, his eyes constantly look around all the way, and he stops whenever there is something that may be wrong. Everyone waited for him quietly and patiently, without a trace of impatience and restlessness. The traps along the way aren't very powerful, just the simplest of small, triggered traps that are plentiful enough to easily dodge with careful care. The corridor is dim, and King Huan has three torches lit, and the light of the torches also reveals some hidden mechanisms that are not easy to find.

"What is this?" everyone sighed when they saw the mechanism in front of them. It was the biggest thing they'd seen in all this time.

A huge Bagua diagram is painted on the ground, covered with bumps. Four two-person statues stand on all sides, and countless groups of crossbows hang directly above the wall. The top of the wall nearly ten zhang above the ground obviously can't be crossed with light skills, and this huge gossip map, with King Huan's light skills, I'm afraid that even half of it can't be crossed.

Everyone looked at King Huan silently, waiting for him to find a way to crack it. King Huan looked at dozens of pairs of eyes and said angrily: "Don't look at me, I won't." ”

"No?" Tao Zhe exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

King Huan glared and said, "As for being so surprised? I'm not interested in these things. I'm only going to pass the time and the superficial things that the royal brother forced me to learn. Look at what these are? On the ground are gossip diagrams, and the things with fangs and claws on all sides are the four divine beasts. How can I understand such a difficult thing?"

"My lord, what is the gossip map for?"

"My lord, what are the four divine beasts?"

"My lord, how are we going to get over?"

King Huan took a deep breath and looked "I'm stupid, you guys are stupider than me": "A gossip map is a gossip map, I don't know anything except know what it is." The four divine beasts each rule four of the five elements. The green dragon in the east belongs to wood, the basalt in the north belongs to water, the white tiger in the west belongs to gold, and the red bird in the south belongs to fire. While pointing out to them the four stone sculptures that didn't really look like them.

Tao Zhe crossed his fingers and calculated: "There is still one missing." ”

King Huan was confused: "What's missing?"

Tao Zhe looked serious: "The five elements should be five, and the adult only said four." ”

King Huan said: "Yes, it's four, there are four here, and I also said that it's 'four of the five elements'." ”

Tao Zhe asked, "And what is the other one?"

"Middle earth in the middle of the earth, and the middle is the earth. Because there are four divine beasts in each of the twenty-eight constellations, each of which is in charge of the seven nakshatras, these four divine beasts are generally fixed as representatives. But the guardian beasts of Middle-earth have different opinions, and if they insist on saying it, it should be the unicorn. A clear voice sounded from behind, and the person who spoke, Shen Yifan.

King Huan was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "You know, then come and take a look." ”

Shen Yifan hurriedly said: "The last general only understands a little, and he doesn't dare to show off." ”

King Huan said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's better than me anyway." ”

Shen Yifan cramped: "The last general will never dare to compare with the prince......

King Huan pulled him over: "You take a look first, it's okay if you don't understand, no one will blame you." I don't know anything, I'm better than me. ”

"Cough, cough, cough. Several Ouchi guards began to cough dryly, as if they were coughing up their throats.

King Huan squinted his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here? If you have something to say, what are you coughing about?"

Several guards pushed each other, but no one would speak, Chen Huayi simply stood up and said, "My lord, forgive my subordinates for risking their lives." We don't have a problem with you belittling yourself, but don't pull us together and scold us!"

King Huan recalled what he had just said, and waved his hand: "Small things, don't stick to small things." ”

The guards held their foreheads and said in unison: "My lord, hurry up and return to normal!"

King Huan was joking, and when he heard the words, he corrected his color, and asked Shen Yifan, "Do you have any ideas?"

Shen Yifan shook his head, but asked again: "What will the prince think of when he sees these four stone statues?"

King Huan had obviously thought about it, and blurted out without thinking about it: "The five elements, the stars, and the directions." ”

Shen Yifan asked, "What about the gossip map?"

King Huan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Refining medicine, formation, positioning, and ...... Directions!"

Shen Yifan agreed: "The last general also feels the same way. Kan is the north, Kun is the southwest, Zhen is the east, Xun is the southeast, Qian is the northwest, Dui is the west, Gen is the northeast, and Li is the south. ”

Chu Zhenye was stunned and said, "This is a bit similar to what the adults said when they pressed that stone just now." ”

Chen Huayi rolled his eyes and said, "It's not a little like it, it's just a thing." ”

Tao Zhe snapped his fingers and shook his head: "That's not right." ”

Chu Zhenye said curiously: "What's wrong? You also understand this?"

Tao Zhe shook his head, still full of seriousness: "I don't understand." However, the adult filled in nine boxes, but this Lord Shen only said eight. ”

Chu Zhenye said even more curiously: "I didn't see you counting when I said it just now, when did you count?"

"Stupid, are you a pig's head?" Chen Huayi couldn't help but knock him on the head, "The nine-square grid is naturally nine squares, and General Shen is talking about eight directions, so do you still need to count?"

But I heard Tao Zhe say, "Oh, I counted it in my heart." A pig has four legs, Lord Shen said two pigs, and we also said two pigs at that time, but there is a pig with a tail. ”

Chen Huayi said with a smile: "Where can anyone understand your algorithm?"

Chu Zhenye suddenly realized: "Ah! really, it can still be counted like this!"

"I ......" Chen Huayi knocked his head again, and the acquaintance stopped talking. The rest of the guards snickered as they listened, but their voices were very low, lest they disturb King Huan.

Shen Yifan pointed to the gossip map and asked, "Did you think of anything?"

King Huan looked at the gossip map, thought for a while, and his eyes lit up suddenly: "The direction is wrong! The direction pointed by the gossip map is different from the direction represented by the four stone statues!"

Shen Yifan said: "The prince's eyes are wise, that's exactly the case. ”

King Huan mingled with a group of guards who talked all year round, but he felt awkward when he said this, and hurriedly turned back to Chen Huayi and said, "Give me the burned torch." ”

Chen Huayi, who was bothered by the "pig", was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly handed the extinguished torch in his hand to King Huan, and asked, "Your Excellency has thought of it?"

King Huan took the torch and said, "I don't know, try it first." "I poured some internal force into the torch and threw it the Bagua map.
