Looking at the blood-red sunset hanging in the sky, Chris lay on his back in the loft corridor of the thatched house, with his feet on the outside of the bamboo building. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She looked up at the sky, but her mind fluctuated.

Xiong Daiying called softly: "Xiaofei, they're back." ”

Chris had already heard the sound of "flying on the grass" Ye Xuan Fei, and then heard a sound of approaching footsteps, so he sat up straight, and there were only three people coming, Ning Yifei, Teng Chuliang and the old man with green beard.

Xiong Daiying asked, "Why did you come back again?"

"Of course not. Chris replied, pointing at Teng Chuliang and said, "How could something be wrong if Brother Teng can show such a happy expression?"

Now, Chris is very interested.

Xiong Daiying really didn't see it at first, Teng Chuliang's big face had a particularly happy expression, Chris mentioned it, he found a clue, and said in his heart: It turns out that as soon as the valley master is happy, his skin will be red, and he really can't see it if he doesn't look carefully. The master is meticulous in his discernment of words and colors, and has his own set, which is far more sophisticated than me. With just one look, she knows what the other person thinks and what he is worried about, and she can tell the difference between a small gesture, whether happy or sad.

Chris glanced at the green-bearded old man, then withdrew his gaze. "Obviously, there are people who are not comfortable with me. ”

Xiong Daiying pondered Chris's words, then nodded. The old man with the green beard must have been sent by Wang Xu, this Lord Wang always likes to compete with his master, and he sees his master as a "genuine" man.

At this moment, the door of the thatched house was pushed open, and the two of them turned their heads to look, and saw Zi Ling running out, with tears in her eyes and not knowing what to say, and threw herself into Chris's arms.

Seeing this, the three people who came sped up their steps. The old man with the green beard rushed over first, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he asked sharply, "But the Dao Leader has made a mistake?"

Then the two people who arrived couldn't help but look at Chris together, with very solemn expressions on their faces.

Chris didn't know how to answer.

Gao Liang'er also came out of the house, and when she saw someone coming, she saw the little junior sister throwing herself into the man's arms in public, and she felt that it was inappropriate at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Senior sister, senior sister should be happy when her poison is cured, what are you doing like this?"

"The poison has been cured?" this is the answer that the old man with the green beard never thought of.

When Zi Ling heard the voice, he found that the man's hand was holding him, and he withdrew from his arms at the moment, avoiding two steps back, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to shed tears again, and said, "Brother Xiaoyi saved Senior Sister, I am happy for a while......"

This news made Teng Chuliang and Ning Yifei also very surprised, but when they saw Ouyang Feng smiling slightly, they knew that it was true, and they grinned with joy. I thought in my heart: Brother Ouyang (Brother Xian) is really surprising and admirable!

Seeing that Ouyang Feng did not have the slightest deception and hypocrisy on his face, the old man with a green beard was full of suspicion, and asked tightly: "Can you let the old man go to visit?"

Seeing the two female Taoist priests invite the old man with the green beard into the house, Chris rolled his eyes, revealing a strange look, and thought: He doesn't believe it, and it is reasonable.

The green-bearded old man walked quickly to Mai Xiu's side, lifted his robe, and sat on the bamboo mat. Turning her head to see that her face had obviously improved, and then looking at the wound on her forearm, the black and blue color had receded. He couldn't wait to find the answer, stretched out his finger to put his finger on her wrist, the green beard and long eyebrows trembled a few times, and a cold breath came from his fingers, and in an instant, it was like a black ice wrapping his body, which couldn't help but make people shiver.

Several female Taoist priests on the spot, seeing his expression, also knew what kind of mood he was in at the moment, and each of them also probed the pulse of the senior sister.

The old man with the green beard suddenly felt the cold air invade his bones, and knew that it was not good, so he was about to fight against it, but he found that the cold suddenly decreased greatly, and it was gone in an instant. After exploring again, he was secretly surprised in his heart, Mai Xiu's pulse was stable, and the residual poison had been cleared, so it was a wonder in the world to pick up a life like this.

Thinking about the residual icy breath again, I didn't expect that Ouyang Feng was young, but his internal skills were so pure, and now his skills are still light, but after ten years, he can't be underestimated, and it is a blessing that Taoism can become a person in this climate. Thinking of this, he said softly: "The old man will heal her wounds." ”

Before he could finish his words, the green-bearded old man stretched out his right index finger, clicked three times on Mai Xiu's back acupoint, and pressed her waist with both palms.

Several people knew that the old man was healing his senior sister and was silently guarding on the side.

After a cup of tea, he saw a trace of white gas coming out of the top of Mai Xiu's head, and the old man let go of his palm, his internal strength was deep, and he lost some internal strength to save people, and he only needed to meditate for a while, condense his breath and regulate his breath, and he could cope with it. Mi Yu and the others saw that the senior sister's face was originally terrifyingly pale, and in just a moment, their cheeks were flushed.

When the people in the house were saving people, Chris turned his head to ask Teng Chuliang and said, "Did Brother Teng make any discoveries?"

Teng Chu smiled coldly and said, "Those who know me are also virtuous brothers." We're back here to pick up something. ”

"What?"

"Brother Xian, come and see with me!"

With that, Teng Chuliang led a few of them to the empty square in front of the thatched village, bypassed those black spires, and walked to a corner in the southwest corner.

I saw a huge cone-shaped bluestone standing there, and a dragon pattern stone slab was inlaid inside.

Teng Chuliang pressed his hands on the bluestone rock, and with a force, there were a few clicks, and the bluestone rock split into six or seven loose stone slabs. The stone slab at the top of the bluestone slab was a few inches higher than the others, and Teng Chuliang took it off and held it with both hands.

Chris and Xiong Daiying were puzzled, and stepped forward to look at the stone slab that had been removed, on which was engraved a humanoid pattern: a small old man, he squinted, his face was painted with some strange lines, he had a goatee, and he wore a strange bull's head hat on his head, a pair of horns connected to two bull's heads, the curved horns were connected by several intertwined silk threads, a bell hung in the center, and a bell hung two inches below the left horn, and the two bull skulls hung on both sides of the old man's cheeks, and the bull's head was slender to the old man's waist. He was dressed in a robe, holding a bone staff in his hand and a copper plate tied to his chest, and stood barefoot. Anyone who has seen it will inevitably feel that this pattern is carved like a real person.

Teng Chuliang said: "We have explored all the large and small islands around, and there is a thatched village on one of the islands that is much larger than here, but it is a pity that the gate of the village is locked and cannot be entered." ”

Chris asked, "Is this slate the mechanism that opened the gate?"

Teng Chuliang praised: "Brother Xian is really smart. ”

"In front of the square of the stockade, there is a dragon-shaped spring with three grooves on it, and after seeing it, Brother Teng told everyone that three stone slabs are needed. Ning Yifei pointed to the piece in Teng Chuliang's hand and said, "That groove is exactly the same shape as this stone slab." ”

Teng Chuliang said: "Brother Xian, remember that before we entered that 'Song City', we first walked through that cross passage, I once said that it was familiar. ”

"Yes. ”

"I went to explore with Gang Master Hong, and found that the passage was not straight, but diagonally downward, and it was obviously the 'Ancient Ten' structure. ”

"Gu Shi?" the three of them asked in unison.

Teng Chuliang handed the stone slab to Xiong Daiying, picked up a small stone and drew it on the ground.

"The 'ten' of the small seal is already a horizontal and a vertical, but the 'ten' of the big seal still follows the writing method of the age of the knot rope, and a point of the knot is added vertically. But in ancient times, 'ten' was more like a separate fork, with three strokes, two branches and a trunk, which was the 'ancient ten'. Before they could ask, Teng Chuliang explained, "Ancient Tengzhou was named after the Longquan Tengyong in the territory, and the Yellow Emperor sealed the tenth son Yu Teng, so the tombs of the nobles of Tengguo have always used this 'ancient ten' as the tomb road." When I first entered that passage, I felt very familiar, but when I entered Songcheng, I diverted my train of thought, making me think it was just a coincidence, so I didn't think about it again. ”

What Teng Chuliang said had already overwhelmed Chris, and he only cared about digesting the content of his words.

"Since I arrived here, I still feel that the layout of the island is somewhat familiar, and after a boat patrol, I found that the large and small islands are obviously arranged according to the structure of the 'Ancient Ten'. ”

Teng Chuliang drew a vertical with a dot in the middle on the ground, and drew a pinch and a pinch on it, exactly three strokes.

Ning Yifei suddenly realized: "'Ancient Ten' corresponds to three?"

"Exactly!" Teng Chuliang stood up and pointed to the stone slab held by Xiong Daiying, "There are three stone slabs, a witch doctor, a star master and a warrior. Warriors, charging into battle, bloody battlefields, star masters, stargazing, fortune and misfortune, rising and dying. The three are the people who guarded the ancient Teng Kingdom, and all of them are indispensable, so the Longquan in Dazhai is a groove that can put down three stone slabs. ”

Chris suddenly remembered: "We are here in the medical hall, so it corresponds to the 'witch doctor'." ”

Nodding, Teng Chuliang said with a slightly melancholy expression: "I suspect that no matter who built these buildings, this person is not only related to the Teng Kingdom, but also inseparable from the Song Kingdom. In Teng Chuliang's heart, Song and Teng are incompatible, but now they are blended in architecture, which makes him really can't believe the existence of this contradiction.

Chris thought to himself: Oh, I don't know where Dugu Liangyi is from?

"Since the virtuous brother has cured the female Taoist, why don't you help the brother solve the mystery of this Dazhai, okay?"

"Such a good opportunity, learn from the eldest brother, the younger brother is naturally willing to go. ”

Soon after, the four of them joined the old man with the green beard and left, heading for the big village where they had been before.

Time waits for no man. The sun gradually sank into the western horizon, the grass flew across the river, and there was a series of large and small islands in front of it, all of which were thatched houses, and the Dazhai where Wang Shu and others were waiting was on a round island, and the position was like the knotted dot on the "Ancient Ten" painted by Teng Chuliang.

Having parked the boat, they went down the deck. After a few slopes, Chris noticed that the terrain was a little more complicated, with a few small wooden bridges and a spring running underneath. The last road leading to the large complex is revealed, lined with large hexagonal thatched huts and small round thatched huts.

Hearing the report from the soldiers, Teng Chuliang and the others came back, and Wang Shu walked out of a thatched house next to him. Listening to the old man with the green beard again, he said that Chris actually cured Mai Xiu's scorpion poison, including Hong Qili, everyone was shocked.

They came to the front of the square together, and Chris saw a round stone pillar sitting in the water, and the Dragon Spring was actually a fountain statue. The back is a huge dragon head, the mouth spews out a stream of water, the front is the dragon body, there is a rectangle on the dragon's belly, the top is even the cloud pattern, the bottom is the coiled dragon curly tail, and the left and right are decorated with dragon Yingluo.

The rectangle had three grooves, two of which had been filled with colored slates.

Chris looked at the intricately carved human figure on the stone slab with interest. On the stone slab on the right, there is also a man wearing a horned helmet, who is short in stature, and is two heads taller than the statue of the witch doctor, like a father and son. The cloak he wears is made of red animal skins and scalps, and under the cloak he wears a wolf's scalp cloak fastened with iron rings. His neck was a little short, and he wore the huge horned helmet that seemed to be worn directly over his shoulder. He had a long sword and a dagger hanging from his hips, a long axe in his hand, a harpoon in his left hand, and a bow behind his back.

Look at the stone slab in the middle, there is a person carved on it, and from the posture of the figure, it looks like a beautiful girl. She was handsome, black-haired, almond-eyed, fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a soft pure white robe, with a piece of cloth tucked under her armpits on one side and around her shoulders on the other, decorated with white feathers on her shoulders, upturned to look like angels, and with layers of tassels falling from the cloth. She holds a picture scroll in her left hand and a book in her right hand. The scroll is half-unfolded, and you can see that there are black, white, and white chess pieces drawn on it.

Chris weighed for a long time, turned to Teng Chuliang, pointed to the dwarf in his right hand, and asked, "This guy is a warrior?"

Teng Chuliang smiled and looked down at her, and asked, "Why doesn't it look like it? ”

"A dwarf god of war?" Chris laughed dryly twice and said, "Aren't the gods of war all tall and strong?"

Teng Chuliang knew that she didn't know much about the culture of the Central Plains, so he explained: "After the Yellow Emperor called the Son of Heaven, he respected his sworn enemy as the 'master of soldiers', that is, the god of war. When there was chaos in the world again, the Yellow Emperor made the statue of Chiyou into a military flag, and the princes thought that Chiyou was not dead, but belonged to the Yellow Emperor, so they surrendered without a fight. Of course, the military flag does not look short, but a headless appearance of beast armor, and later the more it spreads, he has become four eyes, six hands, ox head and ten toes, infinite strength, invulnerability. ”

"Then this woman is a star master?"

"She is the Nine Heavens Xuannu. Teng Chuliang said, "If there is no Xuanniao who holds the Book of Heaven to help, how can the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You? ”

"I see. "Chris doesn't delve into these fantastical things.

"In addition, the Shennong clan who tasted a hundred herbs are warriors, witch doctors, and star masters! King Guteng enshrined them as the three protectors of the country. ”

Teng Chuliang took the stone slab handed by Xiong Daiying, and carefully put the last piece into it, and the last stream of water in the dragon's mouth behind him gradually became smaller, and then stopped gushing.

Everyone saw that behind the Longquan statue, a black door slowly opened.

In this operation, Ning Yifei, Qin Yujiu, Zhang Changbei, Bei Sanqi, Chang Yutong and a few wounded soldiers were waiting in the stockade outside, and Wang Shu left a group of guard soldiers for them. He personally led another team into Dazhai with Teng Chuliang and others.

At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and Wang Shu asked the soldiers to take some torches from the village and distribute them to everyone.

Teng Chuliang looked left and right, and made sure that everyone was in place, so he made a gesture. Hong Qili, Chris, Xiong Daiying and him went first, and the old man with green beard and Wang Shu led people to delay.

Entering the gate, everyone was taken aback, there were no houses inside, but tall wooden walls made of countless pointed wooden piles, they were surrounded in a circle, layer by layer, one layer higher than the other, a total of three floors.

"It's like an altar. Chris guessed from what he saw.

Holding the torch, Teng Chuliang and they walked up.

When we reached the end of the pointed passage, there was a circular platform in the center, and besides, there was nothing else.

Teng Chuliang stepped on the platform with one foot, and the ground under his feet was actually paved with wooden planks, and what was even stranger was that there were circles of lines on it. The four of them raised their torches at the same time, and Chris saw the ground in countless concentric circles drawn in different radii, and she lightly stepped on the plank with her foot, making a thumping sound.

"How do you sound hollow?"

Teng Chuliang immediately understood that there must be something lurking inside this plank. Some kind of intuition—or just luck—made his heart beat slightly faster. He muttered, "This can't be the Dragon Formation, right?"

"What is the Dragon Formation?" Wang Shu asked.

Chris suddenly felt a vibration under her feet, she quickly dodged forward, a strong wind hit her abdomen, she hurriedly twisted in the air, seven or eight huge spikes, brushed by her.

After she landed, she felt a vibration under her feet again, and hurriedly dodged, and there was a "pop" sound, and sure enough, more than a dozen spikes popped out on the floor where she was standing just now.

Teng Chuliang reminded the others: "Don't move!"

I saw her dodge left and right, until she fell into the center of the circle, and then did not continue to emerge from the spiked stake. Just when Chris thought it was all right, the spiked stakes that popped out of them began to rotate in the circle they were in, and the terrifying spectacle thrilled her, but at last they slowly retracted after a quarter of a circle, and the floor returned to its original state.

Taken aback, Chris exclaimed, "What the hell is this damn thing!"

Hong Qili replied, "This is the ground thorn mechanism?"

Everyone saw that their feet had already stepped in, but not everyone had such good light skills as Xiao Yi, and the soldiers were crying one by one, and they didn't dare to move under their feet.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, and watch below!" Teng Chuliang smiled lightly, walked slowly sideways, and slowly moved to the wall, and there were no terrible thorns under his feet.

He was glad in his heart that he had really guessed correctly, and he told everyone aloud: "Don't move back and forth, but gently drag sideways, and you can exit when you reach my end." ”

Hearing this, everyone obediently did so, and one by one they moved lightly and slowly.

Chris thought it was amazing, why did this dragon formation move back and forth and get out of the ground, but move sideways left and right without incident?

Teng Chuliang took advantage of everyone's retreat, walked along the wall, and walked to a wooden pillar to stop. On top of those wooden pillars hung a large wooden pillar lying horizontally, and there were two holes in it.

Hong Qili and Xiong Daiying had already retreated and walked to Teng Chuliang's side.

Teng Chuliang put his hand into the two holes in the wooden pillar, and each took out a pair of long wooden mallets from inside.

Chris's eyes were sharp, and she naturally saw it, and she asked, "Brother Teng, what's going on with this formation?"

"This dragon formation can only be opened by the sound of vibration, and the vibration from your forward stepping just now, Brother Xian, led to the ground thorns, as long as you walk sideways, it will naturally not be touched. ”

Chris thinks about it: since it triggers the ground spur mechanism according to different vibrations, does it mean that it can judge the different vibrational sound waves emitted by the foot touching the ground when it moves backwards and backwards and sideways to the left and right?

Teng Chuliang shook the mallet in his hand and said, "'Dead' is a percussion instrument, as long as you hit it according to the correct drum click, the mechanism will open, and there must be something important hidden underneath." ”

In fact, this dragon formation is more like a lock.

What exactly is down there, it's too curious, but if you don't know the right sound, you can't turn it on. Chris thought about the probability of the combination of the drum beats, and it was really impossible to guess the correct answer.

It seems that this is really a lock with a high degree of secrecy.
