Chapter Seventy-Eight: Upstairs
After the loud noise, the smoke dissipated, Bai Jintang and Hua Chong were lying on the ground, Bai Yutang said anxiously: "Big brother, are you okay?"
Although Bai Jintang was not injured, the shock was not light, his ears were buzzing, Hua Chong was not as good as Bai Jintang, and he simply fainted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Bai Yutang didn't care about any mechanism ambush, and ran towards Bai Jintang, but he didn't encounter any mechanism along the way, Xu Chang looked at Bai Yutang and said in surprise: "Is there no mechanism?"
Bai Yutang grabbed Bai Jintang: "Brother, how is it?"
Bai Jintang shook his head in a daze, and said to Bai Yutang, "Are you okay when you come over?"
"Are you okay?" Bai Yutang also reacted, looking left and right, yes, it should be dead, ......right?
Bai Jintang pounded the ground with one hand and said hatefully, "This mechanism is simply designed for me!"
Hua Chong also woke up at this time, looked at Bai Jintang and said, "Brother Bai, are we still alive?"
"Well, I'm still alive, is Brother Xian injured? ā
Hua Chong got up and moved, and it didn't seem to be injured, and Bai Jintang also moved, and both of them were fine. Bai Jintang said to Hua Chong with a guilty face: "It's all because my brother is preconceived, and this time I have affected my brother." ā
Hua Chong dusted off the soil on his body: "It's okay, my brother, as long as it's okay, this mechanism is so powerful, even Brother Bai, you are on the road." ā
Bai Jintang smiled bitterly: "There is no mechanism here at all, it is the two of us who opened the mechanism!"
Although Hua Chong didn't know how to use the technique, he still knew a little bit about the methods of psychological warfare: "Could it be that this mechanism is on the Taiji diagram? Unless we open it according to the hexagram, it won't explode at all?"
"Otherwise, I would have blown up ......"
Also, Bai Jintang was fine if he stepped on it for a long time, and as soon as Hua Chong went up, it exploded, and it was obvious that they thought they had found the main chord that closed the mechanism, but they didn't expect to open the mechanism......
Hua Chong said to Bai Jintang, who looked remorseful: "Okay, big brother, let's hurry upstairs, this thing has exploded anyway, there should be no problem, right?"
"Well, let's go upstairs, this floor should be this one. ā
Everyone walked to the stairs together, and it was still the Platinum Hall leading the way, and the White Jade Hall was broken. The layout of the second floor is different from that of the first floor, and the whole floor is a row of cabinets, without tables and chairs.
Hua Chong asked Xu Chang beside him: "Have you been to this Chongxiao Tower?"
"I've been here," Xu Chang replied: "The first floor here is the place where the prince and his subordinates discuss important matters, the second floor is said to contain some rare treasures of the palace, as well as his privately made dragon robe and dragon crown, and on the third floor is the alliance list that he exchanged with us, that is, the alliance list that Zhao Lin said just now records the list of all the traitors in the Great Song Dynasty. ā
"Dragon robe and dragon crown?" Bai Yutang was interested in this, and said to everyone: "We took his dragon robe and dragon crown, which can be regarded as evidence of rebellion!"
"No!" Bai Jintang stopped: "The mechanism here must be in these cabinets, the arrangement of this cabinet is staggered, it is obviously the Five Elements Bagua Diagram, if we rummage through them one by one, our four lives are not enough to compensate." ā
Hua Chong didn't dare to take the risk, so he echoed: "It's better for us to go upstairs, it's much more important to take the alliance order than this dragon robe and dragon crown." ā
Bai Yutang twisted a flying locust stone in his hand and said with a smile: "What you want is to open the box with your hands, of course it is very dangerous, but with me, I don't think there is anything difficult about this matter." ā
Bai Jintang looked at the stone in Bai Yutang's hand, and also understood his thoughts, nodded and said: "Use the stone to smash open the cabinet, if there is a dragon robe and dragon crown, we will accept it, if not, go upstairs!"
Bai Yutang shouted, "Okay!" The word "good" came out, and the flying locust stone in his hand flew towards a cabinet. Bai Yutang secretly lucked his true power, this stone hit the upper left corner of the cabinet with the sound of the wind, and with a click, the cabinet was immediately cracked in half, and several gold ingots rolled to the ground.
Bai Yutang sighed: "It's a pity, if this cabinet of gold is taken out, it won't be able to spend the rest of your life lying on the flowers." ā
Bai Jintang said on the side: "Such ill-gotten gains, you must not be greedy, hurry up and open other cabinets." ā
Bai Yutang agreed, and another stone flew out, hitting a cabinet, this time the cabinet made a loud noise, shattered, sawdust flew everywhere, and the fire was everywhere.
Bai Jintang was shocked: "Sure enough, there is an ambush! It's the gunpowder of the Perak Hall!"
Hua Chong said: "Hurry up upstairs, I don't know what else is powerful in the back." ā
Bai Yutang stopped him and said, "It's just some firearms, they have exploded anyway, so just open them all and take a look." ā
While talking, he still flew to hit the cabinet. This little fifth master's kung fu is also really profound, and the stones fly out one by one, and the shots are not empty. There are a total of fifteen cabinets on the second floor. According to the five elements of yin and yang, the stones were hit one by one, and the cabinets were broken. Five of the cabinets had ambushes, and even the surrounding cabinets were also damaged, which saved Bai Yutang a lot of things.
All the fifteen cabinets were opened, and no dragon robes were found, but after the innermost cabinet shattered, there seemed to be a strange light flashing. Hua Chong said with a smile on his face: "There are good weapons!"
His sword was taken out of the dark compartment, and the things in the cabinet gave him a feeling very similar to the feeling he had when he got the Chunjun Sword! Bai Yutang was also very excited when he saw the treasure, and flew out two more stones, hitting the cabinet, and the cabinet was also broken even more by the stones.
Finally, the contents became clearer and clearer, it was a knife! The golden knife head, the tail was actually a dragon head pattern! Inlaid with several shining gems, the scabbard of the ink shark skin set off the murderous aura of the knife, this was by no means an ordinary knife!
When Hua Chong saw the dragon head on the knife head, a name blurted out: "Dragon Shell!"
"What?" none of the three of them understood.
Hua Chong hurriedly explained: "The name of this knife is Dragon Shell, it is a treasure knife made by Helian Bo of the Jin Dynasty, there are three in total, one dragon shell, one dragon scale, and one spirit treasure. The dragon scales are in the South Shaolin Temple, and it is the saber of the monk who presided over the South Shaolin called the 'mad monk drunk Bodhi'. The spirit treasure is in the hands of Ouyang Chun, the northern knight, that is, the famous Seven Treasure Knife, I didn't expect it to fall into the Xiangyang Palace!"
Bai Yutang was drooling when he heard it, there were four people in this room, and he was the only one with a knife, how could he miss such a treasure?
Bai Jintang looked at his younger brother's excited appearance, stepped forward and patted him and said, "Although there are treasures in this place, it is too dangerous, think twice." ā
Bai Yutang was also a little hesitant, the dignified brocade rat is also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, although he was very excited to see this treasure knife, but he would not lose his life because of it.
Hua Chong also took a closer look at the surrounding environment, and said with a worried face: "I'm afraid this knife is not easy to take, this cabinet is in the middle, but I'm afraid it's the same as the one floor, it's a mechanism!
Bai Yutang smiled bitterly: "Come on, my Bai Yutang doesn't have this blessing, so don't want this knife." ā
Bai Jintang said with a smile: "Yutang, this year has followed Brother Hua Xian, and you have finally grown a little, and you are no longer proud and willful." ā
Bai Yutang pursed his lips: "What I said is similar to how proud and willful I used to be." ā
Hua Chong said: "It's just a good time, I can see it, besides, as long as this knife is in the palace, sooner or later it will be our thing! ā
"Let's go, go upstairs!" Bai Jintang put his hands behind his back, turned his head and walked in the direction of the stairs without looking at the treasure knife. Bai Yutang took one last look, shook his head, and followed towards the upstairs.
The third floor is simpler than the first two floors, except that there is a huge Buddha shrine with vermilion lacquer in the middle of the floor, and behind the shrine is a large cabinet with vermilion lacquer, and in front of it is an offering table and incense burner. Directly above the Buddhist shrine is a hanging niche, two thick iron chains with thick bowls are placed on the beams, and the hanging niche is made of wood, tied in the middle of the two iron chains, and it is impossible to see what is placed inside. Two chains lead through the window, one to the mouth of the stone elephant and the other to the mouth of the stone roar.
Hua Chong said secretly: "According to Xiao Wuyi, Bai Yutang died here, and those two iron chains are where the mechanism is, and pulling the iron chains will touch the copper net array downstairs!"
Bai Yutang said to Bai Jintang on the side: "Brother, Mengdan Lanpu should be in that hanging niche!"
Bai Jintang nodded: "Yes, it should be there, but the mechanism should be there!"
Xu Chang said: "In that hanging niche is Mengdan Lanpu, I haven't been here before, and I've only heard about it." ā
Hua Chong reminded on the side: "The iron chain of this hanging niche leads to the outside, maybe there is a big mechanism, right? I heard that there is a copper net array under this Chongxiao Tower, could it be that this iron chain is a mechanism of the copper net array?"
"Copper Mesh Array?" Neither Bai Jintang nor Bai Yutang had ever heard of this thing.
Xu Chang had been in the palace, and he had some understanding of the copper net array, and explained to the two: "I have also heard of this copper net array, it seems to be built under the Chongxiao Tower, how to build the law, but I don't understand." ā
Bai Jintang carefully observed the environment on the third floor, looked at the two iron chains on the hanging niche, and said to Hua Chong: "Brother Xian is right, these two iron chains should be where the mechanism is located!"
Bai Yutang muttered: "If you reach that hanging niche with your hand, you will inevitably pull the iron chain, and the iron chain is connected to the mechanism, and it will be triggered when you pull it!"
Bai Jintang nodded: "It should be like this." ā
Hua Chong looked at it and said: "It's not difficult, I have a sword, Brother Xu has a double halberd, both are weapons that cut gold and jade, directly cut off the iron chain, and the hanging niche will fall down by itself, you don't have to use your hands to reach it!"
Bai Jintang said: "This is a way, try it." ā
Hua Chong said, "I'll come first!" After speaking, he jumped on the offering table, jumped onto the Buddha statue, and slashed at the chain with his sword. The iron chain was broken by hand, and the broken iron chain fell quickly to the stone elephant outside the window. The hanging niche also fell, Hua Chong reached out to catch it, and used his sword to directly cut open the wooden shell outside, there was a book inside, and the pale golden skin read "Mengdan Lanpu", and the first page was opened and it was written "Dragon and Tiger Wind and Cloud Meeting", and then the second page was opened, and it was written "You were fooled"!!
Hua Chong secretly said that it was not good, at this time, the iron chain downstairs had been rolled upside down into the mouth of the stone elephant and the stone roar, and the entire Chong Xiaolou trembled slightly, Hua Chong hurriedly jumped off the Buddha statue and said to everyone: "The alliance is fake!"
At this moment, the trembling more and more violently made a loud "boom" from the Chongxiao Tower, and the floor of the three floors was all cracked from the middle! The floor was divided into two halves and opened, and the huge Buddha statue, the cabinets on the second floor, and the tables and chairs on the first floor fell into the black ground together with Hua Chong's four people, which was the foundation of the Chongxiao Tower! It was also the legendary copper net array!
