Liang Wude said: "Blocked?"

Sima Rulan said: "Yes, my father wants to use this place as a place to store things, of course, he will not leave a tunnel that can be entered and exited casually." If Fifth Master Liang doesn't believe it, he can look for it again and see if he can find a second hole. ”

Liang Wude gave him a look, and the four pirate minions immediately began to search the four walls of the cave. Although the cave is not small, it is very flat on all sides. It didn't take long for the four pirate minions to search the entire cavern, and there was indeed no second opening.

Liang Wude still didn't give up, and asked them to enter the stone gate and go to the various warehouses inside to check, but they still didn't find any passages. Back then, Sima Zhufeng and his party were trapped in this secret cave, and it took a few months for the disciples of the "Feiyan Gate" outside the cave to dig a passage, and now even if Qian Baqian Jiu and a group of pirates outside the cave do the same thing, it will probably take the same amount of time, in that case, the few people locked in the cave will have to starve to death.

Seeing that the hope of going out of the tunnel had been shattered, Liang Wude was furious, walked in front of Sima Rulan, showed a fierce light in his eyes, and said viciously: "Since this tunnel can't be walked, it seems that you really don't know other ways to get out, so it's useless to keep your little girl's life!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the dagger at his waist, and was about to draw his sword and kill him.

Xiong Tiannan, who was standing on the side, was shocked when he saw this, and wanted to say something to stop him, but his mouth moved but he didn't make a sound.

Xiong Tiannan has always been very fond of Sima Rulan, of course he doesn't want to see her killed, but this Xiong Dagongzi is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, just now Liang Wude used a dagger to his neck, almost losing his life, and now he is cowardly, and he no longer dares to confront Liang Wude.

At this time, I only heard someone say: "Liang Ye is slow, I have something to say!"

Liang Wude turned his head to look, but saw that the person who spoke was Hua Bushi.

In fact, Liang Wude didn't really want to kill people, he was scheming, seeing that Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi were very calm, he secretly thought that most of these two people knew other ways to get out of here, so they deliberately pretended, the purpose was just to force them to speak.

At this time, Hua Bushi stopped him, and Liang Wude stopped moving, but his face showed a fierce expression, and said: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly! If you can't get out of here, Ben Lao will kill both of you immediately, and he will definitely not show mercy!"

Hua Bushi said: "Young Master Ben suddenly remembered something just now, although he may not be able to get out of here, but at least there are some opportunities, I wonder if Master Liang wants to hear it?"

Liang Wude said: "You don't have to be verbose, hurry up and listen to it!"

Hua Bushi said: "I suddenly remembered just now that the stone statue of the snake god on the altar is very similar to the stone snake statue at the entrance of the mountaintop, and it must be the same snake god." ”

The stone statue on the altar and the stone slab at the entrance are carved with a strange snake with wings on its back, presumably the pirate king Tuoba Qingtian worshiped the sea god totem, this is an obvious thing, at a glance, there is no need to talk about it.

Liang Wude couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and shouted: "Even a blind man can see this! You say such nonsense, aren't you entertaining Ben Lao!"

Hua Bushi said: "Master Liang should not be in a hurry, and listen to me after speaking." Earlier, outside the cave on the top of the mountain, Miss Lan'er put the Panlongjue into the mouth of the stone snake statue, which could touch the mechanism and open the door of the secret cave, and if we put the Panlongjue into the mouth of the stone snake statue on the altar, maybe it would have the same effect. ”

Liang Wude realized something, and said: "Okay, this old man will listen to you and go up and give it a try!"

After a few moments, the group returned to the high stone platform in the center of the cave. It's just that as soon as he saw the statue of the stone snake, Liang Wude's face became gloomy again. It turns out that although the stone statue of the snake god is quite similar to the stone snake carved on the stone slab at the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain, it is not like the stone snake on the top of the mountain with its mouth open and its teeth exposed.

Liang Wude pulled out the short dagger in his hand, glared at Hua Bushi, and said: "You kid is really full of nonsense, and he intends to entertain us! It seems that if you don't suffer some hardships, you won't know how powerful your old man is!"

Hua Bushi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Liang, don't be angry first, I still have something to say!"

Liang Wude said: "What else do you have to say, tell me quickly!"

Hua Bushi said: "Have you forgotten that when you were outside the cave before, Deputy Hall Master Xiong pressed down five stones to open the hole to expose the stone slab, and now on this altar, there must be a corresponding mechanism!"

Liang Wude frowned and said, "Even if there is really a mechanism, where can we find it for a while?"

He suddenly turned to Sima Rulan and said sharply: "Little girl, you already knew the method of opening the mechanism on this altar, but you deliberately concealed it, didn't you?"

Sima Rulan said: "I don't know, do you believe it or not!"

Liang Wude's eyes froze, and he was about to attack again, but he heard Hua Bushi say: "Liang Ye is a little calm, since we know that there is a mechanism on this platform, we will definitely be able to find it." ”

Liang Wude said: "How do you want to find it?"

Hua Bushi paced a few steps on the altar, walked to the stone statue of the snake god, bent down and squatted, looked at the ground in front of him, and said: "Previously, the eldest prince Xiong stepped on the ground here, and then he touched the mechanism to lock the entrance, you see, the pattern on this stone slab is not like a flame?"

On the blue and black stone blocks paved on the altar, strange patterns were carved everywhere, and everyone's eyes followed Hua Bushi's hope, but they saw that the lines carved on the stone were indeed a bit like a burning flame.

Hua Bushi stood up and said: "Look at the seal characters on the sacrificial table, it is written 'The five elements converge, and the gods are all present', this fire is one of the five elements, if we can find the remaining figures of gold, wood, water, and earth on this platform, and step on the stone slabs painted with the five elements logo, maybe we can open the mechanism." ”

Liang Wude's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he immediately ordered: "You guys hurry up and look for it, see if there are any patterns engraved with the five elements on these stone slabs! Be careful under your feet, don't touch the mechanism indiscriminately!"

This stone platform is not small, there are more than 1,000 stone slabs paved on it, but under the joint search of everyone, it only took less than a pillar of incense to find the stone slab engraved with the four patterns of gold, wood, water and earth. Of course, unless you look at it deliberately, these stone slabs will not attract attention at all on the ground with many different patterns.

Just now, Liang Wude was skeptical of Hua Bushi's speculation, but now he has believed at least seventy or eighty percent. This is not only because the stone tablets engraved with the five elements can be found on this altar, but also because the location of these five stone tablets is exactly in the shape of a symmetrical pentagonal shape, which is obviously a deliberate act of the pirate king Tuoba Qingtian when he built this platform.

The five stone slabs had been found, and Liang Wude ordered the three pirate minions to stand in front of three of the stone slabs, and said to Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan: "Young Master Hua, you go and step on the stone slab engraved with wood grain patterns, Miss Sima, you go to this fire pattern slate!"

Stepping on five stone slabs can trigger the mechanism on the altar, this is Hua Bushi's speculation, whether it is true or false is still uncertain, even if it really touches the mechanism, what will happen, whether the person who steps on it is dangerous, it is still unknown.

Liang Wude was scheming and didn't take risks himself, but asked Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan, as well as his three pirate minions, to try.

The three pirate minions did not dare to disobey, so they had to tremble and walk to the stone slab.

Hua Bushi didn't seem to care, and Shi Shiran walked to the side of the wood-grain slate, while Sima Rulan was also silent, walked to the beetle snake statue in the center of the stone platform, and stood in front of the stone slab that had been stepped on by Xiong Tiannan once before.

Seeing that the five people were already standing in their respective positions, Liang Wude took a few steps back and shouted: "The five of you listen to my orders, and when you count to three, you will step on the stone slab together!"

At this time, the father and son of the Xiong family and the rest of the pirate minions had all retreated, especially Xiong Tiannan, who had retreated the farthest and had reached the side of the stone steps, so he couldn't escape directly.

Liang Wude took a deep breath and shouted, "One, two, three!"

The five people in the center of the stage stepped on their respective stone slabs together, but they heard several soft sounds, and the five stone slabs were all trampled to the point of sinking three inches, and everyone's hearts were all raised to their throats, holding their breath, and their eyes widened, just to see what kind of mechanism would be activated.

In fact, after only waiting for a few breaths, it felt as long as a few hours, and except for the first few sounds, there was no movement on the stone platform at all, neither a hidden weapon was shot, nor a poisonous snake or beast appeared.

"Young Master Hua, what's going on, what's the organ?" Liang Wude finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked out loud.

Hua Bushi thought for a while and said, "I remember that when the eldest prince Xiong jumped away from the stone slab just now, he triggered the mechanism to lock the exit, we might as well try it too." ”

Liang Wude said: "Okay, then try again, I'll count to three, and you will jump off the slate together!"

"One, two, three!"

There were a few more soft sounds, but after the five people jumped away, the five stone slabs bounced back up and returned to their original positions. Everyone stood with bated breath again, but this time the stone platform was still quiet, without the slightest movement.

When everyone was disappointed, they suddenly heard the pirate named Liu Da shouting, "Look, the mouth of the stone snake is open!"

By the dim light of the fire, everyone looked towards the center of the stone platform, and sure enough, they saw that the mouth of the beetle snake statue had been closed at some point, and it had opened silently, and became exactly the same as the relief at the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain.

And since the stone snake's mouth has been opened, Pan Long Jue can be stuffed into it!
