Chapter 100: The Stone Chamber is Hard to Enter
There are many dangers in the Ethereal Peak, and there are people guarding every place. From the Broken Soul Cliff to the overpass, there is no place for people to worry. Passing by, no one can please him, so he simply abandoned the natural danger on the right road, and instead relied on his ability to go up and down the cliff freely, and turned away the road that could not be walked. It is also considered that he is blessed with a high star, and he has a thrilling journey all the way to the overpass.
The bridge is a chain bridge between two cliffs, and there is no other way to pass through the Vulture Palace on the opposite side. It's just that there are people on both sides of the iron bridge, and it is really a bit difficult for him to be unaware.
Passing by and thinking about it, he quietly popped out a stream of poisonous powder, and then sent it with internal force. A man and a woman guarding the chain bridge immediately became dizzy when they smelled the poison powder, and within a while, they fell to the ground with two thuds.
The two people guarding opposite were also a man and a woman, and the woman was careful and was the first to discover the situation here. An alarm had been raised on the mountain, indicating that there were thieves entering the mountain, and they did not dare to be careless, so they immediately flew across the chain bridge.
"What's wrong?" they all asked, and the woman, checking on the condition of her fallen companion, raised her hand to send a signal, while the other man stabbed his sword against an unseen enemy.
When he saw them sending a signal, he also cursed secretly, and after casting the poison, he did not wait for them to be poisoned, and immediately jumped out of his hiding place, cut them all down, and immediately stepped on the chain bridge and flew away before the enemy could chase him.
"Stop!" someone shouted after him.
Passing by, he heard that he could only run faster, but suddenly heard a metal collision, and he secretly screamed that it was not good. Sure enough, seeing that he was about to pass through the Sky Bridge, the first disciple of the Vulture Palace who felt that he had killed a thousand knives actually cut the chain bridge.
There is nowhere to relay when he passes by, but he is also very agile. As soon as his feet were empty, he reached out and grabbed the iron lock. This time, it became his strength, and he took the power of this grasp and jumped off the cliff.
Two women happened to arrive on the cliff, and when they saw someone flying up from under the cliff, they were startled and immediately raised their swords. Passing by with a flick of the fingers, one sword was changed direction and attacked another sword, and passing by followed this gap and landed steadily.
The two women attacked in unison again, and they didn't dare to fight when they passed by. Put the drug, apply internal force, and the two women immediately fell to the ground. He glanced back across the cliff, and the gang tried to throw him to his death, but they destroyed the iron rope and made it difficult to cross it. Now I watched the sisters on the other side also fall, but I wanted to chase but couldn't catch up.
Passing by smirked, he said, "Thank you for sending me!" As soon as he turned around, he walked around the mountain rocks, and a narrow road like a stone alley appeared in front of him. Passing by without hesitation, he immediately stepped on the alley, but fortunately he did not meet anyone from the Vulture Palace on this road. After the alley, there is a path. The trail leading to the mountain peak is the right road, and I don't dare to walk when I pass by, so I only copy the mountain road with thorns and forests next to it, and only go up all the way. He only felt that the higher he went, the thicker the white fog around him, and he must not have taken the wrong path, so he put his mind at ease and continued to move forward.
After about an hour, the thorny forest was lost, and there was no way up. Passing by quietly poked his head out, looking at the past, the clouds and mist shrouded the pine trees all over the mountain, and a bluestone avenue in the middle extended towards the mountain, like a mythical fairyland, it must have been the top of the ethereal peak.
Figures came and went on the mountain, and the disciples of the Vulture Palace who got the news were all waiting for them, searching everywhere.
Passing by quietly and quietly retreating between the mountains and forests, looking up, it was getting late, and you only needed to wait another hour, and when it was dark, it was good to act.
Passing by lying in the jungle bushes, the atmosphere did not dare to come out of one. Occasionally, a disciple of the Vulture Palace walked past him, and he carefully played hide and seek with him, and finally held out until dark.
When it is getting late, lanterns are hung on the ethereal peaks one by one, and looking down from the mountain, there are strings of dim lights flashing in the black forest, but there is also a unique scenery.
Passing by, under the cover of darkness and pine trees, I gradually went in the direction of the bluestone slab. At the end of the bluestone road, a giant castle towers in the darkness. Outside the gate of the fort were white silk and white lanterns were hung, and even the stone vultures on both sides were draped in black veil.
The castle is built on the top of the mountain, and except for this main entrance, the other three sides are cliffs. But the main entrance is difficult to walk, and you have to carefully follow the cliffs of the outer wall to find a breakthrough.
I finally turned to the wall on top of a cliff. The wall was not high, it looked like a courtyard, and a towering tree grew against the wall, which was a good place for him to enter the house.
It's just that he is not very lucky, and there are many people in the places where he is good to enter. He leaned on the cliff and listened carefully to the sounds inside. I heard a woman say: "Only the Lord can enter the secret room here, and the key has always been kept by the Lord, even our sisters don't know." ”
Passing by the secret room, I immediately heard the mechanism. Xiaoyaozi's junior sister also told him about the secret room before she died, saying that there were various martial arts classics hidden in it, which he could refer to and study martial arts.
"If so, that's bad. Han Mingyuan's voice, "Xiaoyaozi is originally a person from the Vulture Palace, they killed the Ancestor Lord, how could they not snatch the key?"
After a moment of silence, the handsome old man Murong said in a deep voice: "Then use an axe to chisel, I don't believe that the chisel can't be opened!"
Soon, the sound of an axe chiseling a mountain was remembered outside.
"It's useless. The voice of the woman who spoke in front of her rang out again, "This stone gate is made of granite weighing a thousand pounds, and it is so hard that ordinary axes are useless. ”
The sound of axes digging into the mountains did not stop, and the passing by was lying on the cliff and waiting, thinking slowly. The Murong family is very knowledgeable in martial arts and has a paranoid penchant for collecting martial arts secrets. Han Mingyuan is duplicitous, and he has been lurking in Xiaoyao Peak for more than ten years, but he has never forgotten the hatred of the country and the family, which is also very similar to the Murong family. There was an accident in the Vulture Palace, and the two hit it off, so they took advantage of the lack of owners in the palace to bully these young people with insufficient ability, one is to attract forces, and the other is for the martial arts classics of the Vulture Palace.
Passing by, he was still thinking about where Wuyazi went, and the handsome old man Murong spoke again.
"The one surnamed Lu dares to come to the Vulture Palace to spread wildness, be careful not to let him sneak into the castle at night, and send more people to search for it. ”
Someone answered.
The handsome old man Murong said: "There are also more people to guard here, and notify me immediately if there is any situation." ”
After Han Mingyuan answered, he slowly walked away with a steady pace. Passing by and listening to the sound of foot, I knew that the handsome old man Murong had also left.
When the sound of the feet was no longer audible, he carefully held his breath and climbed up the wall, revealing only half of his head, looking at the bright lights inside. I saw that on the other side of the wall was a garden, and in the middle of a small pavilion, there was a person sitting in the pavilion, it was Han Mingyuan. He looked at a rockery outside the pavilion, there was a stone gate next to the rockery, and there was a big man on the left and right of the stone gate, and one person had an axe in his hand, and he was chopping the stone gate one by one. The axe slashed at the rock, and sparks flew from time to time, but looking at the rock, there was no sign of breaking.
On the other side of the rockery stood two young girls in emerald green clothes, looking at the cut stone gate with sad faces. Every time I saw Shimen being looked at, my body trembled slightly, and I seemed to be extremely unbearable.
A girl on the left seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and said, "Mr. Han, can you go and persuade the Venerable Lord, or our sisters will go down the mountain and find a powerful locksmith to open it......?"
Han Mingyuan said with a smile: "If this stone door can be opened by an ordinary locksmith, it will not be difficult for anyone." ”
There was no more speech inside, only the sound of axes chiseling stones. The night fog became heavier and heavier, and finally Han Mingyuan also got up, ordered several disciples to stay in the garden, and then left as well.
Passing by and climbing on the wall, he quietly freed up one hand and picked up the fine powder, so that they quietly diffused in the garden. After a while, everyone inside began to yawn, and one by one fell asleep on the ground. The axe of the big man who chiseled the mountain fell to the ground and smashed it on his feet, but did not wake them up, and fell to sleep.
I waited for a while before I jumped against the wall. As soon as he landed, he immediately took out the golden hairpin, inserted it into the keyhole, and the stone door opened in response.
Passing by and dodging was about to enter, he thought about it, picked up the girl on the left and entered the stone gate together, and closed the stone door from the inside. Behind the stone gate was a tunnel, passing by the bright fire fold, waking up the girl.
When the girl saw him, she was taken aback and immediately attacked him. Passing by, he lightly defused her attack, and said, "Shhhhh You're your uncle's maidservant, aren't you?"
As soon as the girl heard him call "Uncle Shi", she immediately understood that he was from Xiaoyao Peak to break into the mountain, and said stubbornly: "Since it has fallen into your hands, you can kill if you want to, don't think I will reveal the slightest information about the Vulture Palace." ”
Passing by and smiling: "You little maidservant, what do I want you to reveal? What secrets are there in the Vulture Palace, your lord has already told me." As he spoke, he raised the golden hairpin in his hand.
The girl stretched out her hand and said angrily, "This is our lord's!"
Passing by, he said, "She has already given it to me." Little girl, you only said that this was her headdress, but you didn't know that this was the key to this secret room, right?"
The girl was taken aback, looked around, and wondered, "This is here?"
Passing by nodded, "Yes, it is the stone room where your current usurper is trying to get in." Before he died, Uncle Shi had already told me all the secrets of this secret room. If you don't believe me, I'll take you on a walk. After you have gone, if you still do not believe, I will let you out, and I will not embarrass you. But if you believe, you have to do something for me, what?"
