Chapter 535: The Cave
Walking to the wall of the apse, Jiang Yunsong touched a lampstand, and then twisted it slightly, and he heard a creaking sound, and after a while, the wall in front of the three of them was actually dented from it and slowly gave way to the side.
Not long after, a door appeared in front of the three of them, and the howling cold wind kept blowing in from this doorway, but the three of them couldn't help but shrink their necks.
"The secret room is along this door, jumping off the cliff! Near the bottom of this cliff, there is a small platform, enough to accommodate a person to stand!"
"It's so dangerous, this crazy knife is deep and terrifying!" Zilong listened to Jiang Yunsong's introduction, and then leaned out of his upper body to look, and sure enough, he saw that directly below this doorway, less than a hundred steps away, there was a small protruding platform.
Judging from Zilong's eyesight, this platform is not only small, but also extremely fragile, if it is an ordinary person who does not know how to light up the body, and rashly jumps down from this hole, he will definitely smash through the platform directly.
"Yes, the mark is also with the help of the sixth son, with a rope, but don't dare to jump down so rashly!" Jiang Yunsong's martial arts can only be the peak of the second rate, not in the first-class, although he can often defeat many first-class masters in the mountains and forests, but after all, his strength is limited.
"Okay! You find a rope, I'll go down to you, and then you wait for me in the cave!" Zilong finished speaking to Jiang Yunsong, and then said to Wan'er, "It's too dangerous down here, but I'm not at ease! Why don't you just stay here and keep watch for us?"
"Hmm!" Wan'er didn't show up, just nodded meekly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunsong immediately found a rope from near the palace wall, handed it to Zilong at one end, and then wrapped the other end around his waist, and then jumped down directly.
Zilong was able to lift the rope with only one hand, and immediately leaned out, and saw Jiang Yunsong falling on the platform, so he found a place near the palace wall to tie the rope, and then asked Wan'er to guard it, and jumped out himself.
A distance of 100 steps, if it is only in the flat ground, Zilong can reach it with only two ups and downs!
But between the thousands of high cliffs, the strong wind was fierce, and after Zilong jumped out, he found that the wind was really great.
At that moment, I had to use a jack pendant to stabilize my body, and then I kept grabbing the cliff with one hand and going down.
Fortunately, he has profound internal skills, and under this grasp, the cliffs that are as hard as iron can only be like tofu, which can be grabbed by him at will.
With these two preparations, he also fell on this small platform without any danger.
Standing on the small raised platform in the middle of the cliff, Zilong looked into the distance, but he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
Although it is extremely steep, the scenery is also very good.
In addition, from here, you can see the mountain road up the Black Rock Cliff in the distance, and even overlook the terrain around the Black Rock Cliff, which is really an excellent lookout position.
Zilong looked at it for a while, couldn't help but retract his senses, and looked at the entrance of the cave behind him, but saw that Jiang Yunsong had already lit the torch on the wall of the cave passage, illuminating the entire passage.
At the end of the passage, Jiang Yunsong was beckoning to Zilong, obviously signaling Zilong to enter. Zilong didn't hesitate and walked over quickly.
It's just that although the torch is lit in this passage, it is a little dark after all, and Zilong is just walking normally, but he didn't come with light skills like before.
After a while, when he came to the end of the passage, Zilong found that the terrain here suddenly opened up, and a cave about a hundred zhang square was presented in front of Zilong's eyes.
Around the cave, there are also cave walls, the whole cave is empty, only in the center, there is a huge bronze statue of one person high.
Obviously, this bronze giant tripod is the Xuzhou Ding, one of Xia Yu's nine tripods that fell into the hands of the mad knife.
Jiang Yunsong saw that Zilong finished looking, and couldn't help but step forward with some surprise, pointed around Xuzhou Ding, and said, "Actually, there were originally many jewels in this secret room, but now they have all been moved out by me!"
"Well, I know, what I'm most interested in now is this Xuzhou Ding, you can go with me to see it! As for the other jewelry, I already know it, Brother Jiang doesn't have to pay attention to it anymore!" Zilong was stunned when he heard this, and he was still wondering how there could be only one Xuzhou Ding in this huge secret room.
It turns out that this great king is all jewelry here except for Xuzhou Ding, it seems that since this person became the great king, he has also rapidly degenerated, and has become a selfish villain like Wu Sanxing.
At that moment, he didn't pursue anything else, so he came to the front of this Xuzhou Ding with Jiang Yunsong and looked at it carefully.
This Xuzhou Dinggao is about one person, and at least three people must hug it together to be able to hold it.
The carvings on it are complicated, but there is incomparably clear, Zilong looks at it carefully, but it is really almost exactly the same as the bronze giant tripod that he saw in the Shaolin Temple before.
In this way, the true identity of this tripod has also been confirmed.
Zilong couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "This tripod is indeed one of the nine tripods, and it is something that Xuanyuan Po must obtain! You must guard this tripod well, don't teach Xuanyuan Po to take it away." As long as there is one ding, according to the sword god, this Xuanyuan Po's conspiracy will not succeed!"
"Don't worry, my lord, no one knows this location except for me and my sixth son! My lord, you can rest assured!" Jiang Yunsong immediately clenched his fists and said.
"Well, you said that the jewels have been moved out, such a huge number of jewels, are you the one who went up from the edge of the cliff with the six sons?" Zilong nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and immediately asked.
"Don't hide it, I can only go down to this secret room, and I can only go down from the edge of the cliff! But if you want to go up, there is a secret passage! It's just that the secret passage has a thousand heavy gates, and I can only go up, not down, so I took away the jewels from the secret passage!" Jiang Yunsong pointed to the deep cave, the dark and swarthy openings of the caves.
Obviously, inside the entrance of the cave is the secret passage that Jiang Yunsong said.
Zilong couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, so he directly reached out and took a torch nearby, walked towards the secret passage, and asked, "Since you are going up through the secret passage, are you the only two of you to carry it?"
"In addition, I also found ten reliable brothers, blindfolded them, and pulled them with ropes, so that they could help move out the jewelry!" Jiang Yunsong also picked up a torch and followed Zilong towards the entrance of the cave.
"In this way, wouldn't there be ten more people who know where this cave secret room is?" Zilong couldn't help frowning and said, it's not that he doesn't believe in his brother, it's just that this Jiuding obviously has a lot to do, but he doesn't want to make any mistakes.
"They shouldn't have known, after all, except for carrying jewels in the cave, the rest of the time, they were blindfolded by me and Liuzi, pulled by ropes, and sent in and out!" Jiang Yunsong pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying.
"Then where are they now?" At this time, the two of them had already walked into the hole, and they could see that behind the hole, there was a winding and rugged, upward spiraling passage, and Zilong did not either, and continued to walk with his feet up.
"Five of them are my confidant brothers, and they are on this black stone cliff! The other five are the brothers of the sixth son, but they are following the sixth son in the town of Tumochuan!" Jiang Yunsong followed Zilong closely, and then replied.
The two of them chatted about the details of the ten people transporting the jewelry, and walked up at the same time.
After a while, they came to a heavy boulder.
Zilong gently pushed on the boulder, and the boulder opened in response, revealing the Heavenly King's Palace behind the boulder.
Zilong looked at it confidently, but found that this exit was behind the collapse of the Heavenly King's Palace.
Just as he was about to go out, he heard a brisk footsteps, Zilong pushed away the boulder and walked out, and said, "Wan'er, it's me!"
Sure enough, as soon as Zilong's words fell, Wan'er appeared not far from Zilong with a shocked face.
Zilong walked out of the cave, and Jiang Yunsong behind him also walked out.
At that moment, Zilong didn't bother to explain to Wan'er, and after the boulder was closed, he pressed his palm against the boulder, urging the true qi, and wanted to see if he could open the boulder.
But the fact is just as Jiang Yunsong just said, although Zilong has used great strength, but this boulder does not move at all, and it is obviously really blocked by the clever mechanism, making it impossible for people to open it from the outside.
Zilong changed several directions one after another, and used different skills, but found that he couldn't push away unless he used ten successful skills.
So he gave up the experiment with satisfaction, and said to Wan'er: "Wan'er, you go and close the door above the palace wall first, so as not to be discovered!"
Although Wan'er was curious, she nodded obediently, jumped over, and disappeared.
After Zilong finished explaining Wan'er, he said to Jiang Yunsong: "You have to examine those ten brothers closely, it's not that I don't believe them, it's really that this Xuzhou Ding is very important! If the news leaks out, I'm afraid that Xuanyuan Po is very likely to appear in this offensive sequence!"
"The mark understands, please rest assured, the mark must be strictly examined to prevent them from leaking out!" Although Jiang Yunsong has not seen Xuanyuan Po's power with his own eyes, he has heard a lot, and he has even seen the tragic death of Shaolin Elder Master Kexin.
"Okay!" Zilong didn't say more, and after Wan'er arrived, he explained to Wan'er, and then asked Jiang Yunsong for the location of the tribe that had been plundered by the sand robbers, so he went out of the Heavenly King's Palace, went to some brothers, and went to deal with that tribe.
