Dark Arrow Chapter 85: Exploring the Treasure Trove (2)

Zhao Yanhao hid behind the gloomy bluestone door, and cautiously poked out half of his head to take a look.

Two large red lanterns hang above the gate, illuminating the scene in front of the gate clearly.

The heavy gray lacquer double iron door is closed, and there are three stone steps in front of the door, and two white marble lions squatting next to the stone steps. Above the head is the head of the wall, and sure enough, it is paved with glazed tiles.

Dou Xingkong raised his head, squinted at the gloomy gatehouse standing in front of him, and suddenly felt that the big characters of "Nangong Villa" on the door plaque were clearly the four words "Yama Villa", and he suddenly felt very uneasy in his heart, and at the same time there was a trace of fear.

With years of professional experience, he has a hound-like sense of danger. But if you want to ask him what is wrong, he can't tell, but he feels that it is too quiet, and behind this peaceful atmosphere, he vaguely smells a trace of cruel murder.

After Zhao Yanhao saw the situation around the gate clearly, he began to carefully observe the gatehouse, and found that there was a small boss at the junction of the gate and the gatehouse, which was very narrow and looked like it could not be settled at all.

"It seems that you can only climb up from the battlement!" Zhao Yanhao thought for a moment, made up his mind, and whispered: "Senior Dou, I want to climb under the wall from here, and then run to the doorhouse." ”

“...... Can it be done?" Dou Xingkong's tone seemed unbelieving.

"Hmm...... Give it a try. ”

"Brother Zhao,...... I...... I'm still a little worried......"

Dou Xingkong wanted to express his doubts, but if he returned in vain, he would never have good fruit to eat, so he hesitated when he spoke.

Of course, Zhao Yanhao didn't understand what he meant, and said confidently: "Don't worry, you will never fall!"

"Oh well. ...... Be careful!"

"Yes. Zhao Yanhao nodded, tightened the strip of cloth tied around his waist, and tied a knot so as not to loosen it again, to ensure that Dou Xingkong could be firmly tied to his back.

The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero; the horse and the single gun, dare to break into the tiger's den in Longtan.

Zhao Yanhao has this kind of arrogance. Because, he has this ability.

He took a deep breath and began to perform the "Gecko Wall Swimming Skill" again, climbing the exterior wall that had been framed and brushed with sand, ash and fine stones, and in a short time, he had climbed under the wall tiles.

He looked up at the corner of the cornice above his head, and found that he was still five or six feet high, and he thought that he could not climb up, so he took another deep breath, and with a squeeze of his palms, his body flew up almost diagonally against the wall, and had already climbed the boss above the gate. He lowered the weight of his whole body on his right finger, reached out and touched the boss with his left hand, and found that it was only two inches wide, and he really couldn't settle on his feet.

He paused for a moment to catch his breath, and with a sharp flap of his arms, his figure suddenly sprang up, his feet on the boss a little, and his body bounced up like a projectile, and had reached the cornice of the cornice, and almost at the same time, ten fingers grabbed out like lightning, just grasping the transverse plate at the lower end of the cornice.

Dou Xingkong on his back felt that his feet were hanging in the air, his body was swinging back and forth, so nervous that his heart seemed to want to jump out of the cavity, fortunately, although his martial arts were lost, the concentration accumulated over decades was still there, and he didn't exclaim.

Zhao Yanhao's ten fingers strengthened, three points into the wood, a stiff waist and abdomen, with the momentum of swinging has already turned over to the tile, and then with the belly as the axis, the windmill-like rotation of half a circle, has become the head and the front and the feet.

He let out a light breath and slowly crawled forward, hiding in the shadows behind the ridge of the building, poking out half his head to look into the courtyard.

By looking at it, he could already understand why he couldn't enter through the top of the wall.

It is a huge farmhouse with lanterns placed all over it, bathing the entire courtyard in dark red light. Because the courtyard wall is quite high, you can't feel that the courtyard is so bright from the outside, and if you jump over the wall rashly, you will immediately be able to see it clearly.

Not only that, but there is also an arrow tower on the left and right sides, and there must be a guardian martial artist on the guard at any time, so let alone a person, even if a sparrow flies in, it will immediately fall into view.

The courtyard repairs the bamboo sandwich road, strange flowers are everywhere, different trees are in rows, and scattered are dotted with rockery and strange stones. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a large circular pool made of bricks and stones, in the middle of the pool, there is a small coral-shaped rockery, there is a dragon head carved with marble on both sides of the rockery, lifelike, is raising its head to the pool with a jet of water, the sound of "bang-la-la-la" water hammer is endless.

Thirty or forty people who looked like warriors in the courtyard with swords were scattered in groups of three or five in all corners, walking around in an orderly manner in their respective areas of responsibility, and occasionally glancing towards the wall.

Zhao Yanhao saw the situation in the courtyard clearly, and was figuring out where to enter the hospital, when he suddenly heard the sound of talking from the wall below him, and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly shrank his head, lying motionless in the shadows.

"Sixth brother, I seem to have heard a noise on the tile surface just now. A deep, hoarse voice.

"Upstairs?" asked another shrill voice.

"Yes. ”

"How is that possible, second brother, you love to be suspicious...... Who can jump to such a high place?"

"But I really heard it!" the second brother emphasized, "my ears are smarter than yours, and I will never hear it wrong!"

"But we didn't even blink our eyes just now, how could anyone be?" said with a shrill voice, "You must have heard it wrong, it must be the sound of the sand blowing on the tile." ”

The two were silent for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm still not at ease." ...... Why don't we go up and have a look!"

"It's so high, how do you go up?"

"Climb up with a ladder. ”

"It's dark and slippery on it, don't you fall half to death if you fall?" said in a sharp voice, "I want to get on you, but I won't go on anyway." ”

“...... Forget it! Maybe I misheard. "The hoarse voice is also empty.

Zhao Yanhao took a breath, put down a heart that was mentioned in his throat, and looked for a foothold.

There is a tall and dense old locust tree outside Sanzhang, which shrouds the surroundings in a large area of darkness, which is an excellent place to stay.

Zhao Yanhao suddenly slanted down like an arrow, just submerged into the darkness, fell to the ground like a light smoke, and then took two light steps, leaning over and hiding in the flowers and trees that he had been optimistic about for a long time.

"Where is the treasure house?" Zhao Yanhao asked in a dumb voice.

"It's under that pool. Dou Xingkong whispered in his ear.

"What??!" Zhao Yanhao almost couldn't believe his ears, and his heart became anxious, "How can I go down?

"Don't be afraid, you don't have to dive. Dou Xingkong comforted: "You go to the vicinity of the pool first, find the opportunity to run into the pool, and then I will tell you what to do." ”

Zhao Yanhao quietly observed for a moment, and finally chose a path that was almost entirely in the shadows, a few ups and downs, and leaned over to hide behind a laurel tree, only more than three zhang away from the pool.

Three guards armed with blades patrolled like machines, and one of them yawned lazily and said vaguely, "I'm so sleepy! Why isn't it dawn?"

"I'm also sleepy! I tossed all night, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost!" the other person's voice was a little angry, "The young master is really, so nervous! The original guard was so tight, but the number of people has to be doubled!"

"Yes!" she was too nervous...... the last man chimed in.

As he spoke, the three of them walked over from the laurel tree where Zhao Yanhao was hiding.

"Don't talk so much nonsense!" a man who looked like a leader came over and reprimanded the three men, "You guys, cheer me up!

"Yes. The three men were startled, and hurriedly struggled to look left and right into the darkness around them.

Another group of patrolmen slowly approached from the other side.

"It looks like I can't hide it, what should I do?" Zhao Yanhao asked Dou Xingkong on his back in a whisper.

"They're too heavily guarded tonight! There's no other way, hurry up and find an opportunity to run into the pool!"

Zhao Yanhao couldn't help frowning as soon as he saw the situation in the pool clearly.

Not a single tree or flower has been planted around the pond, and lanterns are hung in front and back of the rockery, illuminating the surroundings of the pond clearly.

This means that once you approach the pool, you are completely exposed to the light.

"No, it'll be found out right away. Zhao Yanhao shook his head.

"Do you see the dark place at the foot of the rockery?" Dou Xingkong raised his hand and pointed to the rockery.

Zhao Yanhao looked along his fingertips and saw at a glance where he was pointing.

He held his breath and looked left and right, and finally found an opportunity that no one paid attention to, and his body was like a lightning bolt slashing towards the rockery, and a soft sound of "poof" was already hidden in the darkness at the foot of the rockery.

Fortunately, the sound of water spraying covered up the sound of entering the water, and Zhao Yanhao controlled the sound to the greatest extent, so it was not noticed by anyone.

The pool is not deep, only more than two feet, Zhao Yanhao is lying in the pool, only the heads and faces of himself and his companions are exposed. The water was quite cold, and the chill hit, although Zhao Yanhao was only wearing a thin underwear, he didn't feel cold at all; Dou Xingkong lost his martial arts, and he couldn't fight the cold with his internal strength, and he shivered from the cold.

"Is it cold?" Zhao Yanhao asked in a concerned whisper.

"No...... Matter. Dou Xingkong's teeth trembled, "Listen to me, the entrance to the treasure house...... Just above the rock wall of the rockery, you need to press the mechanism...... to turn it on. Button ...... of the mechanism ...... on a stone turtle in the pool"

"Where's the stone turtle?"

"It's the one on the left...... Under the stone dragon. ...... Let's get over it. ”

Zhao Yanhao slowly walked along the foot of the rockery, hiding his head in the shadows, trying not to ripple the water lines. After climbing to the dragon's body, he touched the pool, and sure enough, he touched a rather large stone turtle under the dragon's body.

"Where's the button?"

"On the tail. ...... Did you find it?"

"Did you touch it?"

"Nope. You turn it three times to the left and three times to the right. ”

Zhao Yanhao did as he was told, but he felt very heavy, and if he wasn't a person with strong arms, he would never be able to turn.

There was a soft sound of "rolling", and a two-foot-wide strip-shaped gap suddenly cracked on the rockery wall.

"Come on in!" Dou Xingkong drank softly.

Zhao Yanhao hurriedly rushed to the gap and dodged in. The opening quickly closed, and the eyes suddenly became black, and a damp and unpleasant smell filled the snort.

Zhao Yanhao protected his chest with one palm, took out the black box in his arms with the other, and took out the "Hanging Li", which was like a bright moon in the palm of his hand for a month and a half, and the scenery in front of him was already clear and discernible.

He saw that he was at the top of the corridor, and a stone-level corridor about three feet wide sloped down and stretched into the darkness.

"Go down the road. Dou Xingkong said softly.

"Is there a mechanism?" Zhao Yanhao asked worriedly, looking at the darkness under his feet.

"There wasn't before, but I don't know if there is now. ...... Just be careful. ”

Zhao Yanhao cautiously descended the fifty or so stone steps, but fortunately no hidden arrows were shot, and when he was vigilant, a rusty iron gate suddenly appeared in front of him.

"This gate is the gate of the treasury. It is more than a foot thick, weighs 10,000 catties, and the wall is more than two feet thick granite. You can only enter it if you open it with a trap. Dou Xingkong chattered.

"Where's the button?" Zhao Yanhao looked around in front of the door.

"Do you see the stone carving hunting map on the right wall of the road?"

Zhao Yanhao looked sideways, and saw a hunting picture carved on the stone wall, in which more than ten hunters in the forest were chasing a wild boar, two antelopes and a sika deer, and the prey fled in a hurry.

"Do you see the man on horseback who is shooting at the sika deer with his bow and arrows?"

"See. ”

"Good. The point of his arrow was the belly of the sika deer. You touch it on its belly, and you can feel three small bumps, which are distributed in a regular triangle. ...... Did you touch it?"

Zhao Yanhao slowly searched for it as he said, and sure enough, he touched it, but the three bumps were only the size of peas, and the protruding stone wall was very small, and it was impossible to see it with the naked eye.

"I touched it. Press, or turn?"

"You press them flush with the stone wall, and then rotate them half a circle in reverse. ”

Zhao Yanhao pressed his three fingers lightly, and it really sank, and he was about to spin, when he suddenly hesitated and let go of his fingers, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Dou, you have stolen the treasures here before, you say, will they change the mechanism?"

Dou Xingkong pondered for a while and said, "There is such a possibility." ...... You can watch the movement while you spin...... If something is wrong, jump back!"

Zhao Yanhao gritted his teeth lightly, pressed the bump again, and while watching the movement of the iron door intently, he slowly rotated, feeling that there seemed to be a disc-like thing under the bump turning. When I turned to the half-circle, I immediately released my fingers, and the three bumps bounced up.

In the sound of "rolling", the dust above the door fell, and the iron door slowly moved sideways, and finally the hole opened. Zhao Yanhao flew back early, using both eyes and ears, paying attention to the movement inside the iron gate.

After a long time, there was no movement.

"As before, there is no mechanism. Dou Xingkong breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go in!"

Zhao Yanhao cautiously entered the door, and looked at it with the light emitted by the "Hanging Li", only to see that this treasure house was square, about ten zhang square. In the middle of the treasure trove were piles of wooden crates, which looked very old, some of them had cracks, and they were supposed to be decades old.

"Wow! it's really still there!" Dou Xingkong exclaimed happily.

When Zhao Yanhao heard this, he immediately understood, and his heart was also very happy, so he stepped forward and prepared to open some boxes to inspect.

As soon as he took two steps closer, he suddenly heard a soft sound of "click" on the wall on the left, and Zhao Yanhao jumped out like a swallow without thinking.

With a crackling sound like a popping bean, a cluster of nails struck the ground where he had just stood, and if it had been slow, the nails would have been nailed not to the ground, but to their bodies.

Zhao Yanhao was frightened, the sand and dust on his head were slightly sprinkled, and something was violently covered by the sharp sound of the wind; at the same time, in the sound of "rolling", the iron door suddenly began to close.

Zhao Yanhao slammed out of the door, and in two dull "booms" in succession, two iron fence-like things smashed heavily on the ground of the line he flew out.

Fortunately, when the iron door was just halfway closed, Zhao Yanhao had already jumped out of the door. Before he landed, the sharp sound of breaking the air on the left and right sides came, Zhao Yanhao was afraid of hurting Dou Xingkong on his back, so he didn't dare to make a hard connection, and he suddenly took a breath of true qi, his body suddenly rose five feet high, and two javelin-like things rubbed against the soles of his shoes and staggered.

Zhao Yanhao had two ups and downs, and had already jumped to the Yongdao crossing, listening attentively, but fortunately, there was no hidden weapon shooting.

"Hurry up, we're exposed!" Dou Xingkong was anxious, "Quick, press the left eye of the giant python relief on the right wall!"

Zhao Yanhao looked at it, and saw a giant python coiled with mountains and rocks carved on the stone wall, with a bloody mouth, spitting out a long letter, and convex red eyes, which was gloomy and numb.

Zhao Yanhao was busy pressing on his left eye, and with a "rolling", the secret door opened, and Zhao Yanhao jumped out.

As soon as he jumped out of the secret door, in the sound of breaking the air, a violent shout accompanied by a fiery red spear spark, stabbing Zhao Yanhao in mid-air.

The red flame gun, the body of the gun is one foot and two feet long, and the power is terrifying!

Zhao Yanhao let out a low roar and reached out to grab the head of the gun.

Two figures rose into the sky, the cold light was dazzling, one left and one right two sword lights, one slashing the chest and the other slashing the waist.

Zhao Yanhao shook his wrist violently, the person with the gun couldn't hold it, the spear took off his hand, and he fell on his back.

Zhao Yanhao shouted violently, and the vertical spear blocked left and right, almost sealing the lightning-fast double swords at the same time.

In the sound of "click", the spear was immediately cut into three sections, and after the two spear bodies flew out a few feet, they fell with Zhao Yanhao's figure.

Zhao Yanhao had not yet landed, and suddenly felt a fierce palm power behind him, and the palm skills and skills of the person who made the palm were outstanding. Zhao Yanhao knew that once Dou Xingkong on his back was hit, he would have to go to Huangquan immediately for 100,000 yuan.

Zhao Yanhao didn't have time to think for a moment, suddenly turned to one side, and immediately rotated ninety degrees.

With a "bang", a palm hit his right arm heavily, and the palm power of this palm was so strong that it shook him out of the rest of the room, and his entire right arm was suddenly numb.

Zhao Yanhao's eyes in mid-air were full of Venus, and with a "wow" sound, he blurted out a mouthful of blood arrows.

A sword light shot after him like a meteor in the sky, and before Zhao Yanhao could stand firmly, he only had time to flash sideways, and blood suddenly splattered on his waist, and he fell to the ground on one knee leaning.
