Chapter 37 Chapter 4 The One-legged Bronze Man

Sima was anxious and didn't know what to do, Xiao Longnv had already pulled out a purple ribbon and called to Lian Xing: "Lian Xing, get back!" Lian Xing heard Xiao Longnv calling him, he didn't have time to think, he put away the whirlwind shovel, turned and retreated.Xiao Longnv moved forward sideways, swiping the purple silk ribbon in her hand, and immediately blocked those Ghost Yingying who were about to take the opportunity to attack. Lian Xing took a few steps back, leaned his body against the stone wall, let out a long breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Sima said in a deep voice: "Brother Lian, please lend me the whirlwind shovel." Lian Xing handed the whirlwind shovel to Sima as he said, and then moved away.Sima took the whirlwind shovel and stood quietly for a while. After a while, Sima reckoned that the time was almost up, so he raised the whirlwind gate, unscrewed the mechanism, aimed at the door-shaped stone wall in front of him, and burrowed in.I saw that the whirlwind shovel cut the stone like rot, and it pierced the door-shaped stone wall with three strokes and five cuts.Sima retreated back and drew back the whirlwind shovel.

As soon as the whirlwind shovel was removed, a big hole suddenly appeared on the stone wall, and a strange smell gushed out of the big hole. Sima couldn't help shouting: "Miss Long, get out of the way!" Xiao Longnv was waving a ribbon to block those ghosts and Yingying, when she heard Sima's panic screaming behind her, her heart shook.Just as he was about to retreat, suddenly a strong arm behind him hugged him.Xiao Longnv knew that it must be Lian Xing, she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, she was about to speak when she suddenly saw a straight flame burst out from the big hole, instantly burning those ghostly fireflies hovering in front of the stone wall to ashes.

The flames spurted several feet forward.The three of Lian Xing hid on the side of the big hole, so they were not affected.But the momentum of the flame was very fierce, even though he hid aside, he still felt the scorching heat on his cheeks. It took half an hour for the flames to subside slowly, and there was a strange aura everywhere in the mountainside. The three of them waited for more than half an hour, until there was no more movement in the cave, Lian Xing let go of Xiao Longnu.Xiao Longnu's face was blushing, her heart was still pounding. Lian Xing and Sima leaned out slowly, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked up, and saw that the cave was pitch black.

Sima said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is the entrance to the Ba Kingdom's Mausoleum." Lian Xing nodded.Sima took out a torch and shook it in the wind, and the torch immediately ignited. Sima held a torch and went first.Lian Xing and Xiao Longnv followed behind and walked in slowly.Inside the cave is a winding stone staircase.The stone steps were like snakes, and the three of them walked out for three or four miles in zigzags.The Huo Zhe in Sima's hand suddenly went dark, and he saw that they had come to an end. This stone corridor turned out to be a dead end, and at the end of the alley was a heavy iron gate.The iron door was locked tightly, and a hideous human head was engraved on the door.The man's head was pierced with rings on his nostrils, and his head was tied with a white cloth. He looked like a barbarian.

The three of them were stunned, and strode up to the head of the barbarian.Sima stretched out his hand and groped around.The head protruded slightly, like the head of a beast on the door of a rich man's house.Sima grabbed the head and turned it slowly, tried left and right a few times, but the head didn't move at all, Sima secretly frowned and said: "It seems that if you want to enter this imperial mausoleum, you have to pass this pass first." Lian Xing stretched out his hand and knocked on the iron door, and the iron door made a muffled sound, which showed that it was very heavy.Lian Xing thought for a while, then took out the dagger from his pocket, took a deep breath, condensed his right arm, held the dagger tightly in his right hand, and stabbed at the iron gate.

Hearing the dagger stabbing the iron gate, there was a clear "Zheng" sound, Lian Xing's arm was numb from the shock.Looking at the dagger again, it only pierced the iron gate half an inch deep.Lian Xing, Sima, and Xiao Longnu looked at each other. It seemed that the iron gate was not only thick, but also hard. Even the dagger in Lian Xing's hand could only penetrate half an inch. What should I do? ? Lian Xing frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This iron gate is definitely not made of ordinary materials. Otherwise, with my dagger, it wouldn't only penetrate half an inch deep." Sima nodded, stretched out his right hand, and pressed the back of his palm heavily. With a hammer, the iron door made another "buzz".

Sima listened attentively, pondered for a moment before saying: "This iron gate is really extraordinary, it seems that it can only be opened by means of a mechanism." Sima raised his head, looked around, and after looking around, he lowered his head dejectedly.Lian Xing also looked at the iron gate in front of him, thinking hard.Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he turned to Sima and Xiao Longnv and said, "Brother Sima, Long Er, I remembered something." Seeing the excited expression on Lian Xing's face, Sima and Xiao Longnv seemed to have found some clues, With a move in his heart, he stared intently at Lian Xing and listened quietly to what he said.

Lian Xing's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Brother Sima, do you still remember that when we entered the stone gate just now, Long Er used the four-legged square tripod to lure the three giant pythons to climb up the pool, which made the dragon guard and snake slave furious Under such circumstances, he actually killed the three giant pythons one by one, and finally died with the three giant pythons?" Sima said in a deep voice, "Of course, what's wrong?" Lian Xing said slowly: "According to my brother's speculation, Ba Kingdom sent dragon guard snake slaves to this mountain to prevent the giant python in Longtan from escaping. And the giant python in Longtan must be guarding the entrance of the Ba Kingdom's imperial mausoleum. If the entrance is on the human face relief, what is the use of those giant pythons guarding the dragon pool? There must be a mechanism hub in the dragon pool that controls the iron gate of the entrance. The Snake Guard immediately stopped him."

When Lian Xing spoke eloquently, Sima nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and said repeatedly: "Brother Lian is right, let's go to Longtan to have a look, no matter whether there are giant pythons in the Longtan, we have to get rid of the mechanism." Open." The three of them walked back slowly along the stone steps. They walked to the entrance of the cave, stepped out, stood on the stone platform at the entrance of the cave, lowered their heads and looked into the dragon pool, they were all stunned for a moment.I saw that the pool full of emerald green water in Longtan had already disappeared without a trace.At the bottom of the pool, there are sections of pythons torn apart by the dragon guard and snake slaves, and a strange statue stands in the middle of the pool.The whole body of the statue is yellow and clear, it seems to be made of copper, it is almost as tall as a real person, but there is only one leg under it, it is a one-legged bronze figure!Nothing else.

The three of them were startled, looked at each other, and thought, "Where is this clear water that is full of pools?"Did it disappear without a trace in this instant?It's really weird and unbelievable. After all, this situation is very unusual, Lian Xing and Sima looked around, only to see that the surrounding area of ​​Longtan was very quiet and there was no sound.But there seems to be a strange aura flowing in the mountainside in the calm. Sima frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lian, let's not worry about why the pool disappeared, let's discuss it first, and see if the mechanism to open the iron gate is on the one-legged bronze man." Lian Xing stared at the one-legged bronze man standing quietly in the pool, and said slowly: "There is nothing else in the dragon pool, and the mechanism to open the iron gate is probably on the one-legged bronze man." Sima nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, brother Lian and Miss Long, you wait here, I will go down and open the mechanism." Lian Xing pondered for a while, and said: "Brother Sima, I'd better go down with you." The implication was that he was worried that if there were any changes in the Longtan, and the distance between himself and the little dragon girl would be beyond reach. . Sima thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.With Lian Xing's skill and himself, there shouldn't be any mistakes.Greeting Lian Xing, the two jumped into the Longtan. When Xiao Longnv saw Lian Xing jumping, her clothes fluttered, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of the hopeless relationship between her and Lian Xing in this life.
