Chapter 489: Locking the Dragon Gate
Liang Wude's face sank, and he said, "You and Liu Da go over and check it out!"
The two pirate minions left in response, and Liang Wude turned back to Sima Rulan and asked, "What happened to the noise just now, do you know?"
Sima Rulan was secretly happy in her heart, but her face did not show it, but she pretended to have a sad face, and said: "I do know, probably Xiong Gongzi touched the mechanism and put down the lock dragon gate from the exit of the secret passage, and now we are all locked in this secret cave and can't get out!"
The previous glance that Sima Rulan glanced at Hua Bushi when she left was hoping that he would touch the mechanism in front of the stone statue so that the secret cave could be locked. She was originally worried about whether Hua Bushi would be able to understand the meaning of her hasty eyes, but she didn't expect that he did better than expected, not only touching the mechanism, but also dragging this Xiong eldest prince into the water with Xiong Tiannan's feet.
Xiong Tiannan was already a little flustered, and said: "It's none of my business!
Liang Wude's eyes showed a fierce light, and he pulled out the short dagger on his waist with a "choking" sound, the cold light flashed, and the tip of the dagger had already pressed against Xiong Tiannan's neck, and he said sharply: "What is none of your business! You stupid person actually did such a stupid thing and wanted to kill everyone!"
Xiong Tiannan's whole body trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof" sound, and begged loudly: "Fifth Master Liang, spare your life! It's all because the kid surnamed Hua said that he had to be more courageous, so I walked in front of the stone statue, no wonder I!"
He originally thought that as long as he waited for Liang Wude to come back from taking the treasure, he would kill Hua Bushi immediately, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and now it was not the young master of the vicious dog who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but he became the eldest son of the bear himself.
Xiong Bailing took a step forward and said, "Nan'er is not sensible, he was deceived and accidentally touched the organ, and I also asked Liang Wuye's subordinates to show mercy and spare him this time!"
Liang Wude snorted coldly, but still withdrew the dagger. He hated Xiong Tiannan very much for being stupid, but he knew that Xiong Bailing's martial arts were not weak, this Xiong Tiannan was Xiong Bailing's only son, but he couldn't be hurt at this time, otherwise Xiong Bailing would have to turn his face.
Although Liang Wude was not afraid of Xiong Bailing, he also knew that it was not appropriate to do anything with him at this time.
At this time, Chi Haigou and Liu Da, who went to investigate, had already run back, and sure enough, they reported that the secret passage leading to the outside of the cave had been closed by the falling boulder.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the secret cave passage that everyone walked down from before was not big, but now it was dropped by a stone gate, and it was tightly blocked, and there was not even a single gap.
Liang Wude stood in front of the stone gate, his eyes gloomy, and he still held a dagger in his hand.
He had already tried, and the stone gate was extremely hard, the same material as the stone slab outside the cave before, and although his short dagger was sharpened like clay, it could only leave a shallow mark less than an inch deep on it when stabbed with all his might.
In fact, the four walls of this entire cave are all such unknown but extremely hard stones, which are even stronger than the copper walls.
At this time, everyone came to the entrance of the cave, Xiong Bailing's face was blue, Xiong Tiannan was trembling, and the four pirate minions were also full of panic.
Liang Wude's cold gaze looked at Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan, but he saw that the demeanor of the two of them was quite calm, especially Sima Rulan, who did not seem to be anxious on his face.
He said sharply: "Miss Sima, Young Master Hua, do you dare to play tricks in front of you and use such tricks to seal the cave, aren't you afraid that this old man will kill you immediately!"
Hua Bushi said: "This is a great wrong! Just now since you left, I sat on the stone platform and did not move, those pirate brothers can prove that Miss Lan'er must have also handed over the shipbuilding drawings and martial arts secrets to Liang Ye, and now we are also involved and trapped in this cave, why don't you release people according to the agreement, why do you blame them?"
Liang Wude said: "What are the cheats! Those stone rooms are all Buddhist scriptures and account books, and I haven't seen a single martial arts cheatbook, this girl deliberately led us to rummage and delay time, so that you kid can deceive people, isn't it!"
Sima Rulan said: "I have handed over the shipbuilding diagram to you, I don't know where my father put the martial arts cheats, most of them are put together with the Buddhist scriptures, how can you blame me if you don't find it?"
Previously, Liang Wude and Xiong Bailing escorted Sima Rulan into the stone gate, and there were as many as twenty-five stone rooms inside, all of which were treasure warehouses in the past. The detailed drawings of the dragon slaying ship were quickly obtained, but the martial arts secrets of the "Shaolin School" were nowhere to be found, and the many stone rooms were filled with copies of various Buddhist scriptures, as well as the account books of the "Wanjintang" business for many years.
Liang Wude and Xiong Bailing rummaged in it for a long time, but they didn't find a book of martial arts cheats, but they suddenly heard a loud noise from outside, so they hurried out.
Liang Wude glared at Sima Rulan and said, "How do you get out of the hole now, tell me quickly!"
Sima Rulan said: "As soon as the lock dragon gate falls, the entire secret cave has been closed, and it cannot be opened from the inside, only outside the cave can be opened with Panlong Jue." However, Lan'er seems to remember that Panlong Jue has been brought into the cave by Liang Wuye, so there is no other way!"
After getting Panlong Jue at the entrance of the cave, Liang Wude did bring it into the cave and put it in his pocket at the moment. Liang Wude waved his arm, and the dagger was already against Sima Rulan's throat, and he said angrily: "Little girl dares to deceive people! Ben Lao will kill you now, and then dig this stone gate, I don't believe that I can't get out!"
Sima Rulan was not afraid, and said: "If you want to kill, kill it! From the cave on the top of the mountain to here, there are a total of ten stone gates, and now they have all fallen, if you have the ability to dig up, you can also get out!"
Liang Wude had not only tested the hardness of the stone gate with a dagger before, but also slapped it with the palm of his hand, and could feel that the stone gate was at least as thick as a foot, although his dagger was sharp, it might not be able to dig it open, and if it was really as Sima Rulan said, there were ten stone gates along the way, then it was obviously hopeless to break through the gate.
The fifth master in this "Nine Dragons" is good at calculation, and immediately thought that although Sima Rulan said that there was no way out of the hole, most of them were not true. If he could have killed Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi without scruples before, it was because the detailed drawings of the dragon slaying ship and the secret books of the "Shaolin School" martial arts were not crucial to him, and in this situation, being locked in the cave and unable to get out would be related to his life, and he could no longer kill people casually.
Thinking of this, Liang Wude took the dagger away from Sima Rulan's throat and inserted it back into the sheath, the anger on his face disappeared instantly, and he said with a pleasant face: "Miss Sima has misunderstood! This old man was just ordered by the Dragon King to get the shipbuilding plan, but he didn't have the intention to kill. Now that everyone is trapped in this hole, if you have a way to get out, you might as well say it, as soon as you get out of this hole, I will immediately release you and Young Master Hua, what do you think?"
Sima Rulan pouted as if she was sulking, but she didn't answer.
Liang Wude said again: "If Miss Sima doesn't believe it, Liang is willing to swear an oath, and he will definitely not break his word." ”
Sima Rulan said: "Although I can trust Liang Wuye's promise, but the lock dragon gate cannot be opened from the cave as soon as it falls, this is a true thing, Lan'er did not lie to you." ”
Liang Wude said: "Even if this stone gate can't be opened, there must be other ways to get out of this cave, right?"
Sima Rulan said: "Maybe there is, maybe not, I don't know this." ”
Liang Wude's brows furrowed, and when he was about to say more, Xiong Bailing, who was standing on the side, said: "Lan'er niece, I heard Brother Sima mention that when he first entered this secret cave, he also touched the mechanism and was locked up in the cave, and the sister-in-law was unfortunately martyred because of this, and later it was the disciples of the 'Feiyan Gate' who stayed outside the cave to dig a passage and was able to get out. Now that we're trapped here, we can use that passage to get out. ”
Sima Rulanyu's face sank, and she said, "Xiong Bailing, do you still have the face to call my parents my eldest brother and sister-in-law?
She had always called Xiong Bailing Uncle Xiong before, but now she called him by her first name, apparently because Xiong Bailing mentioned her mother, which made her feel sad and angry. In the face of Sima Rulan's reprimand, Xiong Bailing lowered his head and did not answer, just because his face was already dark and full of beards, but he couldn't tell if he was blushing.
Liang Wude's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly felt hopeful, and said: "It turns out that there is still a passage to the outside of the cave, but I don't know where it is?"
He glanced at the four pirate minions and commanded, "You four, go to the four walls of the cave and search carefully, and find out the passage for me!"
Before the pirate minions could respond, Sima Rulan had already said loudly: "No need to look for it, I'll take you there!"
Liang Wude said happily: "Okay, then there is Miss Lao Sima!"
The passage was quickly found.
The passage was in the corner of the rock wall on one side, and it wasn't hard to find. The entrance to the cave was very narrow, only about three feet high, barely enough to fit a person. It was only because the stone door leading to the treasure house was too large and conspicuous that everyone did not notice that there was such a small hole in the corner.
The entrance of the cave could barely get into a person, but after entering the hole, not even a single mouse could get through, because the passage had been blocked by stones.
"What's going on! Could it be that this small hole is not the passage dug by the disciples of the 'Feiyan Sect' back then?" Liang Wude glared at Sima Rulan and asked loudly.
Sima Rulan's face was leisurely and replied: "Of course this is that passage, but after my father got out of this passage, he asked someone to block it." ”
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. ”
