Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The Jin Family Appears

In the Duan family compound, Duan Wenwen was taking Pan Zi, and the two of them were wandering in the yard. Strange to say, since Huo Xiaoxie left, Pan Zi became more active, like a child who has never seen the world, looking around, Curious. Duan Wenwen smiled and didn't speak, just looking at it casually. The two passed by the iron horse that was still in the yard, and couldn't help asking: "Master Duan, what are you?" Duan Wenwen smiled and said, "Pan Zi, have you met him before?" "This thing? I don't remember seeing it before." "Hehe, this horse is for riding, do you want to try it?"

"Try? What a shame." "It's okay, try it, there is a spring at the pony's tail, you can go away after you tighten it." "Really? I'm sorry, I'll give it a try." Pan Zi likes this kind of strange things the most. He has a thick skin, so he ran over and sat on it, saying, "It's just a little short." Pan Zi tightened the wind-up, and the iron horse started to wobble forward. Pan Zile yelled, "Let's go! Go!" This iron horse is really exquisite. With the two reins pulled and swung, you can control the left and right directions, stop, accelerate, and control it, just like a real horse.

Pan Zi was so addicted, he rode the iron horse and ran around the yard, yelling endlessly. Duan Wenwen watched quietly, although his face was still smiling, his eyes were a little red, and he said in a low voice, "Poor child." Of course Pan Zi didn't hear it. After driving the horse around the yard, he still couldn't get enough of his thoughts. He wanted to wind up the clockwork again, but felt that playing like this was a bit too much, so he stood up shyly and said, "This is really amazing. A good thing." Duan Wenwen said: "Pan Zi, if you want to play, just keep playing."

Pan Zi smacked his lips and said, "Don't play anymore, this should be something for children to play with." Duan Wenwen smiled and took Pan Zi away again. Pan Zi asked, "Master Duan, the iron mouse that exploded and ran around the room at first is also a toy?" Duan Wenwen said: "Yes." Pan Zi asked again, "And those colorful beads?" Duan Wenwen said with a smile: "Of course, my former son liked playing with these beads the most." "The former son?" Pan Zi blurted out, but he immediately felt that something was wrong, he oh oh a few times, and kept silent.

"If my son is alive, he should be as old as you." Duan Wenwen stopped and looked at Pan Zi. Pan Zi's heart trembled, and he couldn't help feeling sad. He had no parents since he was a child, and he had been wandering around since the age he remembered. For so many years, he even forgot what his parents looked like and where his family was.Although Pan Zi told Huo Xiaoxie that he was from Shandong, in fact he had no impression of it. It was entirely because others said that his accent was from Shandong that he called himself a native of Shandong from then on. Pan Zi lowered his head, and said sadly, "I'm sorry, Lord Duan, I reminded you of something sad, so let me express my condolences."

Duan Wenwen laughed and said, "I didn't say my son was dead." Pan Zi hurriedly said: "Ah, Master Duan, look at my stinky mouth, my words are endless, I should be beaten. Hehehe." Duan Wenwen led Pan Zi around the front of the house, walked back through the side door, and said, "Pan Zi, do you think this place is familiar to you?" Pan Zi smacked and said: "Well, to be honest, when I went to the big house, I really felt a little familiar, but after seeing the iron mouse and the iron horse, it was very strange." Duan Wenwen chuckled and said, "That's normal, Pan Zi, what do you remember about your childhood?"

Pan Zi hummed and said, "I remember when I was very young, I was very hungry in the wild and ate grass every day. Later, a kind person took me to a small town, and I started begging for food. After staying for a long time, I left and walked around. I think I was lucky. I was chased by wild dogs several times and almost killed by people. I survived, haha. I guess my fate is hard. I'm too young to accept me." Duan Wenwen nodded in response and did not speak. The two had already walked to a house with bluestone and brick walls. Duan Wenwen pushed the door open with his hand. There was a burst of jewels, and Pan Zi was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes at all. When he recovered, he found that the room was densely packed with gold, silver and jewels, which were almost countless.

Pan Zi's eyes were straightened, and he said in a low voice, "Fuck..." Duan Wenwen walked in with Pan Zi, and said, "You guys are new to your land, and I don't have anything to give you. You can take as much of these gold, silver and jewels as you can. It's my heart." "Really or not? How much can you get?" Pan Zi, a money fanatic, had already filled his mind with gold and silver, almost blank. "Of course it is true!" Duan Wenwen laughed. Pan Zi jumped up without hesitation, grabbed a piece of gold, and shouted: "Fuck, gold, there are five taels!"

But Pan Zi threw it away, grabbed another golden Buddha, and said, "It's still valuable! No, no!" Pan Zi threw the golden Buddha away, grabbed another emerald, and shouted, "Mom, this is beautiful! Much more valuable!" Pan Zidong fumbled here and there, almost looking at all the valuable things in the house, and finally grabbed something, turned his head to Duan Wenwen with a shy face, and said, "Master Duan, I don't dare to take gold, silver, precious stones, etc. As soon as I touch it, I am satisfied, you are such a rare thing, what is it?" Duan Wenwen saw that Pan Zi was holding a black, angular iron ball, he laughed and said, "This is an eight-change ball, which can have eight changes, and each has a purpose. Try it. "

Pan Zi snorted, "Eight-changing ball? It really is a good thing." Pan Zi buckled and turned the ball with his hand, and the eight-change ball was divided into two halves. There were countless changes in the mechanism inside, and it could be disassembled into several pieces. After a little thought, Pan Zi played a trick, which was a hammer with a pointed end. Pan Zi waved it and shouted, "Is this a hammer? It works!" Duan Wenwen smiled and said, "Yes!" Pan Zi praised in a low voice: "Interesting and interesting! There is such a delicate tool in this world! Seeing it in the world."

Pan Zi lowered his head and played with it, enjoying himself for a while, while Duan Wenwen stood aside and watched silently without disturbing. Pan Zi made the eight-variable ball into another thing, which was a pair of sharp-nosed pliers. Pan Zi was very happy, looking up and down, and kept saying "oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Pan Zi wanted to play again, but suddenly remembered something, stopped his hand, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Duan, I won't play anymore." Duan Wenwen said: "Pan Zi, you don't take gold, silver and jewelry, why are you so interested in this?" Pan Zi said: "If you have gold and silver, you may not be able to sell this, Master Duan, hee hee." Pan Zi put on a smiley face and flattered him, "Master Duan, I really dare not ask for anything else. Can't you give it to me? Master Duan, I can take whatever you say, I really only want this, you can't go back on what you said." Duan Wenwen said generously: "Of course I can give it to you! But if you don't take gold and silver, don't regret it in the future." Pan Zi said: "No regrets, no regrets, absolutely no regrets!" But he still looked at the gold, silver and jewels in the room, salivating. Duan Wenwen smiled and said: "But I see that your eyes are full of wealth, and your saliva is about to flow down." Pan Zi muttered to himself, sucked in his saliva, wiped his mouth and said, "Laughing and laughing, a gentleman loves money in a proper way, and I didn't do anything for you, Lord Duan. It's already my god to get a change ball." Big luck." Duan Wenwen said: "Actually, if you can do one thing for me, if you agree, the money in this room will be yours. You will never break your promise." Pan Zi's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "What's the matter? Master Duan, please tell me first, and I'll see if I can promise you." Duan Wenwen said: "You can definitely do it." Pan Zi blinked his eyes and said, "Tell me first, and I'll see if I can agree. I have a good reputation in the world, and I keep my promises. I don't just agree to others casually." Duan Wenwen said: "Hehe, Pan Zi, you are quite good at handling things. Let me tell you, my son is really like you. If you can stay here and stay with me for a while, the money in this house will It's all yours. You have to know that the money in this house is more than enough to buy a hundred Anhe towns, and from now on you don't have to run around to make a living, and live your life in glory and wealth." Pan Zi's eyes were wide open, his mouth widened and he couldn't speak. Duan Wenwen patted Pan Zi on the shoulder and said, "I know that if you say it suddenly, you must not know how to answer it. There is still time, you can think about it slowly." Pan Zi closed his mouth, swallowed, and said very simply: "Don't think about it, I definitely can't stay here!" Huo Xiaoxie, Tian Wen, and Lin Wan gathered in a hidden place in the forest, and Huo Xiaoxie quickly told everything that happened to him. Lin Wan frowned slightly, and said, "Master Duan is really weird. If you want to say that they must be from the Jin family, it's hard to tell." Tian Wen said, "That's true." Huo Xiaoxie said: "When I saw the iron mouse and the iron horse, I really wondered if Master Duan and Captain Liu were from the Jin family. Why can't you be sure?" Lin Wan said: "After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Jin family has been out of the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years. The only one who is in contact with the five major families is Jin Dajiu, who is the one you met at the third gate of Huomen. I I don't even know who the King Jin is now. Maybe the Shui family knows." Tian Wen said, "This place is weird." Lin Wan said: "When I came to look for you, I also found it strange that you and Pan Zi entered the yard, one stayed behind, and the other rushed back. Could it be that this Duan Lord just wanted to drive you away, Huo Xiaoxie, as a drunkard? Not in the wine, but in Panzi?" Tian asked, "The Jin family chooses an apprentice?" Lin Wan shook her head slightly, expressing that she didn't understand either. Huo Xiaoxie was a little anxious, and said: "Anyway, since I've already met you, I'm going back immediately, leaving Pan Zi there alone, it's not safe! You two stay here and wait for me. If I don't come back after dark, come and find me." Lin Wan said: "If this Lord Duan is the Jin family, it must be very difficult. His compound looks ordinary, and there may be countless hidden organs, and their purpose is unknown. I don't know whether it is bad or good. I am afraid that this trip , Brother Tianwen and I must go with you. You are in the open, and we are watching in the dark." Tian Wen said, "Very good." When Huo Xiaoxie saw that this was the case, he also nodded in agreement.Huo Xiaoxie already knew that Lin Wan could find him by smell, so she wasn't worried that the three of them would be separated. Huo Xiaoxie said, "That's good! Let's go now." Tian Wen said hello, turned his head and left without stopping, and waved to Huo Xiaoxie at the same time, he and Lin Wan went together, Huo Xiaoxie passed alone. The three of them dispersed quickly, Huo Xiaoxie rushed to the front of the Duan's compound in a hurry, reached the door, and rushed in. The servant in front of the door paid no attention, and lazily raised his eyelids, letting Huo Xiaoxie run in. Huo Xiaoxie came to the courtyard where Pan Ziying was, and the more he walked, the more panicked he felt, the courtyard was empty, and no servant was seen. Huo Xiaoxie ran all the way to the yard in front of the big house, the iron leather horse was walking around the yard alone, it was very strange.Huo Xiaoxie called Pan Zi, and rushed into the big room. The melons, fruits and snacks on the table were still neatly arranged, and there were colorful beads rolling slowly in every corner of the ground, as if there were people there just now. Huo Xiaoxie yelled, "Pan Zi! Where are you? Pan Zi!" There was an echo from the big house, and it returned to the dead silence that it was when Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi first arrived. Huo Xiaoxie yelled a few more times, but no one responded. Huo Xiaoxie stomped his feet angrily, so he turned around and wanted to run out the door, and asked some servants, who knew that just as Huo Xiaoxie was about to leave, he heard the sound of the machine spring, Duan Wenwen's voice came from nowhere . "Huo Xiaoxie." Duan Wenwen's voice seemed to come from a phonograph speaker. Huo Xiaoxie stopped immediately and looked left and right. The voices came from all directions, and it was impossible to determine the direction. Huo Xiaoxie stood up and said, "I'm back! Where's Pan Zi!" "Pan Zi said he's not leaving, he wants to stay here." "Impossible! Where did you get Pan Zi! Hand him over, or I will tear down your rotten house." "Haha, Huo Xiaoxie, I know everything about you, you are going to die or not, you don't care about your life, why bother to drag Pan Zi? Let Pan Zi lose his life?" Duan Wenwen's words stopped Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "Duan! Who are you? Tell Pan Zi to come out and talk to me!" "Haha, it doesn't matter who I am, but it's a pity that Pan Zi said he doesn't want to see you." "Pan Zi can stay here! But I must know how he is now! Otherwise, even if I die here, I won't leave!" "Haha, you are really good brothers, but Huo Xiaoxie, do you know who Pan Zi is? He is my son who has been lost for many years! He is my son! I will never let him leave me!" Huo Xiaoxie's heart suddenly felt sour, and for some reason she almost shed tears. Huo Xiaoxie murmured: "Pan Zi, is that your son?" "That's right. Huo Xiaoxie, you must also want Pan Ziping to live in peace. Of course, if you want, I also want to adopt you as a foster son. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Anhe Town together?" Huo Xiaoxie was silent for a moment, then his voice trembled, and he said: "Impossible, I don't believe it, Pan Zi said that he was an orphan since he was a child! You must let Pan Zi come out to meet me, I heard him say with his own ears that he would stay here, I will leave immediately! I will never pester you again." "Haha, Pan Zi doesn't remember anything about his childhood at all. His life experience is all made up by him. Don't you think that Pan Zi is very familiar with this place?" "No, tell Pan Zi to come out and see me!" Huo Xiaoxie almost yelled. Duan Wenwen's voice stopped for a while, and there was only the sound of electric current. "Speak!" Huo Xiaoxie roared. "Okay, Huo Xiaoxie, come and find him yourself." As soon as Duan Wenwen's voice fell, a heavier mechanical sound came, and one wall of the big room moved, and the ground vibrated loudly. A huge burrow appeared in front of Huo Xiaoxie. "Come down if you have the ability. If you don't dare, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving where you are going, and it is even more impossible for Pan Zi to follow you to die." Duan Wenwen said. "Okay!" Huo Xiaoxie shouted loudly, and was about to go down. "Wait a minute, Huo Xiaoxie!" A woman's voice shouted. Huo Xiaoxie looked back, and saw Lin Wan and Tian Wenfei jumping in, Tian Wen was even faster, stepped forward and grabbed Huo Xiaoxie. "Haha, Tian Wen, the eldest disciple of the Tu family, and Lin Wan, the young master of the Mu family, you really are all together." Duan Wenwen laughed. Tian Wen raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Are you from the Jin family?" "Haha, it doesn't matter who I am, but you want Pan Zi to leave me, it's extremely difficult!" Lin Wan glanced at the huge hole in the ground, smelled it briefly, and said, "Pan Zi did go down from here." Huo Xiaoxie broke away from Tian Wen, and said: "Tian Wen, Lin Wan, I must meet Pan Zi, otherwise I will never leave here. I will go down to find him by myself, you go." Lin Wan smiled gently and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, your business is our business, we just go together." Tian Wen raised his head and cupped his fists, and said, "Learn the mastery!" "Haha, good! Pan Zi is lucky to have friends like you! Come together. If you die, don't blame me. Hahahaha." Duan Wenwen smiled, his voice stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement. Tian Wen glanced at Huo Xiaoxie and said, "Let's go!" He took the lead and walked into the cave. Lin Wanrou said: "Huo Xiaoxie, don't think too much, let's go together." Huo Xiaoxie nodded gratefully, facing Tian Wen and Lin Wan, he couldn't say any polite words. There was no more words, and the three of them went down the cave one by one. The inside was bright, and there was a long staircase winding down. The three walked out for a while, rumbling, and the ground above their heads closed again. Tian Wen, Lin Wan, and Huo Xiaoxie walked for a while, and they had already descended to the bottom. It was a small room with an iron gate that was two people high and one wide.There are five big characters welded on the iron gate: Millions of Gold Casting Pass. The three of them came forward, and saw beside the five big characters on the iron gate, there were a few lines of small characters, which read: You are a thief in troubled times, what else can you steal?Once you get it, you lose it overnight. If you get it, it will be a disaster, and if you lose it, it will be a blessing.Millions of gold cast the pass, which is an anti-theft formation. This formation is dangerous, there is no retreat, life and death, life and death, the slightest difference, think twice.Those who come understand the way of gain and loss, return early, and don't enter this pass.Those who insist on entering the customs, knock on the golden lock three times, and the door will automatically open. After Tian Wen looked at it, he walked around the house, returned to the door, and said, "The House of Cast Iron." Lin Wan said: "It seems that this must be the Jin family's anti-theft formation. I didn't expect the Jin family to make such a big move in this small Anhe Town." Huo Xiaoxie kept looking at the various places on the door, and said, "Golden lock, where is the golden lock?" This huge iron door is extremely thick and heavy at first glance. Except for the writing on the surface, it is extremely smooth, and there is not even a keyhole, let alone a golden lock. Lin Wan said, "Let me try it." She took out a short incense stick from her pocket, took out a wooden cylinder, opened the lid of the cylinder, inserted the short incense sticks into it, and when she took it out again, Already lit.This short incense exudes bursts of musk, strong smell, and smells very good. Lin Wan held a short incense stick and blew air on the edge of the iron door, and the smoke flew into the gap, but Lin Wan blew on it for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "This iron door is at least three feet thick, and the edges are painted with oil. It fits perfectly, without even the slightest gap. Jin Jia Kemu, I'm afraid we have to find the golden lock." Tian Wen said, "I'll come." Tian Wen walked to the door, threw out a palm-length, finger-thick stone pillar from his sleeve, pressed it vertically against the wall next to the iron gate, and tapped it with his finger, the stone pillar made a jade-like crisp sound, Enduring. Tian Wen put his ear against the wall, listened carefully, shook his head, then moved to another place, and continued to implement this method. Tian Wen tried it out and sighed, "No way." Lin Wan said: "This golden lock must be in this room, I'm afraid it's playing charades with us. Among the five elements, metal overcomes wood, metal produces water, and soil produces metal. Only fire can overcome metal." As Lin Wan said, she looked at Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie was thinking all the time, seeing that Tian Wen and Lin Wan had returned without success, with their abilities, if they wanted to hide something in this room, they would definitely be unable to escape, but where could the golden lock be? Huo Xiaoxie took a step forward, commented on the iron door, and read the words on the iron door again. Suddenly, he felt strange and wanted to touch it. Tian Wen shouted, "Be careful." Lin Wan also said: "I've just tried this door, it's not poisonous on the surface, Huo Xiaoxie, don't use force, lest you touch the mechanism inside the door." Huo Xiaoxie nodded, and slowly touched it with his hand, and felt the cold feeling, extremely hard.Huo Xiaoxie touched it once, and found that the iron door was really one piece, with no signs of splicing on the surface. But Huo Xiaoxie's eyes still fell on the words on the iron door. Huo Xiaoxie looked at the word "Golden Lock", and felt a strange feeling. He suddenly stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the word "Golden Lock". for a moment. Tian Wen and Lin Wan were taken aback for a moment, they both looked at Huo Xiaoxie and didn't speak. Huo Xiaoxie knocked once, but nothing happened, Huo Xiaoxie didn't stop, Dangdang knocked twice more. Just after the third knock, there was a "ding" sound from inside the iron door, the sound of the machine spring turning, and there was a chirping sound, and a gust of air flowed out from the gap in the huge iron door, booming. It actually moved. Huo Xiaoxie was overjoyed and shouted: "It's open!" While speaking, the iron door was already open, with the crack half-covered, enough for people to walk in. Tian Wen said in shame: "It's so!" Lin Wan said: "The golden lock is actually the words on the door! Huo Xiaoxie, how did you think of it?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Jin Suo Jin Suo, I don't think there is a Jin Suo, so I tried these two words, I didn't expect it to be right." Lin Wan and Tian Wen looked at each other, and Lin Wan said, "On the contrary, we are overthinking, Huo Xiaoxie, you are really amazing." Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly said: "No, no, I was fooled." Tian Wen said: "It's natural." Lin Wan smiled sweetly at Huo Xiaoxie, stretched out her hand and waved at the open door, then retracted and smelled her palm, looked at her fingertips, and said, "There is enough air, only the smell of iron and engine oil, non-toxic." Huo Xiaoxie secretly sighed, this Lin Wan is so powerful, she can know so much information just by smelling it. Tian asked, "I'm in front." As he spoke, Tian Wen took another step forward, pushing the big iron gate open even more. A wide corridor appeared in front of everyone again.On the walls on both sides of the corridor, every four or five steps, there is a bright silver oil lamp with a glass cover, which illuminates the corridor brightly.This corridor is straight, and the end can be seen, and at the end is an upward staircase. The three of them stepped into the corridor, and the ground they stepped on was actually paved with a layer of iron boards. There was a slight knock and vibration when they walked up, and the bottom seemed to be empty. Tian Wen said softly: "Amazing!" Lin Wan said: "Brother Tian Wen, is it difficult for you to determine what will be under the iron plate?" Tian Wen said: "The nature of gold is unpredictable." Huo Xiaoxie said: "I can feel that there are many iron balls rolling in the ground, one by one." Tian Wen said, "The main formation is below." Huo Xiaoxie glanced at Lin Wan, wondering what Tian Wen meant. Lin Wan obviously understood Tian Wen's way of speaking better, and said: "Tian Wen said that this corridor-type anti-theft formation should be to uncover the ground, and it is most convenient to walk from the bottom, but the bottom is probably more dangerous than the top. , so the main team is under. In this way, the Tujia people will not be able to play, Tian asked the elder brother, am I right?" Tian Wen blushed, and replied, "Yes..." Huo Xiaoxie was eager to save Pan Zi, and he didn't want to stay here for a long time. He bent down and took off his two shoes, stepped on the ground with bare feet, and said, "My sense of touch is more sensitive, I will walk ahead." Lin Wan said, "Wait a minute." Lin Wan took out a small bamboo tube from her pocket, unplugged it, and poured out a small golden beetle in the palm of her hand.The little beetle seemed to be dead, with its belly upturned, and it remained motionless in Lin Wan's hands. Lin Wan stretched out her little finger, and poked the little golden beetle. As if awakened, the beetle kicked its legs and swayed, turned over all of a sudden, fluttered its wings, and made a rustling sound.The carapace of this little beetle is pure gold, shining under the light, which is extremely conspicuous. Lin Wan said: "Let it be in front, you follow it. We follow you." Huo Xiaoxie asked in surprise, "What kind of bug is this?" Lin Wan smiled and said, "Refuge bug." "Refuge bug?" "This little bug has a kind of spirituality. When crawling on the ground, it looks for a route that is not dangerous." "This little bug can sense danger? But how does it know what danger is?" "Actually, it can see things we can't see and sounds we can't hear. In terms of acuity, it is the best in the world. If there is something strange on the ground, it will stop and look. It's a pity that it's just a bug and can't talk. It is at the front, you are behind it, your weight is transmitted to the ground, and the slight changes in the ground brought about by your gestures can make it easier for it to detect whether there is any difference in the route ahead, which can save you a lot of work.” Huo Xiaoxie said: "Very well, I will follow your orders." Lin Wan squatted down, put the refuge bug on the ground, pushed it with her fingers, and adjusted the direction. The refuge bug hesitated for a while, then crawled forward. Its golden carapace shone dazzlingly on the ground, and it could be clearly seen no matter how far away it was. Huo Xiaoxie didn't hesitate, she put her shoes in her waist and tiptoed to follow the refuge bug's route. The forward way of the refuge bug is indeed strange. It moves straight forward, neither fast nor slow, but there are some differences from the previous road when it encounters the ground. It sees some other light, such as the light of a spider's silk; it hears a different sound, such as the slight vibration of a spring in the ground, it will stop and try it out, or it will go straight away, or it will go straight. To turn, around what it thinks is a dangerous zone. Huo Xiaoxie followed Chongzi, followed by Tian Wen and Lin Wan. The three walked to the middle of the corridor. Although it took a lot of time, they were safe and sound. But walking further, the refuge insect suddenly stopped, its golden carapace shook, and it started to make rustling sounds. Huo Xiaoxie was wondering why the bug was screaming, but Lin Wan hurriedly called out behind her: "Be careful!" As soon as the refuge insect turned its head, it screamed like a flying bird, and crawled towards Lin Wan, as if it was extremely panicked. Huo Xiaoxie looked up, and saw two huge iron plates on the road in front of him suddenly opened, and a black mass was rising out of the ground quickly. Huo Xiaoxie could see that this thing was coming fiercely, so he couldn't help taking a step back, and shouted: "Not good!" The thing rising from the ground has already exposed the ground, and the rattling and rattling of the machine spring turned out to be a half-person-high pillar made of black iron.The iron pillar clicked, and the cross-shaped steel knives hanging on it were spinning rapidly, and the whistling wind was loud.This pillar has not been fully activated yet, three more sections protrude from the top, and each section carries two circles of cross-shaped steel knives, which spin rapidly, forming a total of eight saber rings.Going up to the roof and down to the ground, the blade was shining coldly, and rushed towards Huo Xiaoxie and the others. What a powerful machine!The cross-shaped steel knife is spinning, no matter if you touch it from top to bottom, front to back, it will definitely cut you with force! This pillar is coming fiercely, coming straight, I don't know how this thing goes in a straight line!The knife ring passed against the wall, pointing at the gap, there was no room to dodge. Tian Wen sternly snorted: "Eight evil cones! Back!" The three stepped back quickly, Tian Wen shouted again: "Magnetic traction!" Tian Wen took a step forward, blocking Huo Xiaoxie and Lin Wan behind him. Huo Xiaoxie looked back, and saw that the big iron gate that came in had been slowly closed, cutting off their retreat. With a serious expression on his face, Tian Wen pulled his clothes with a swipe, revealing the hard gray armor under the clothes. A steel thorn came out in response, and with a click, it pierced into the iron plate on the ground. The sound of clashing gold and iron came, and the steel thorn in Tian Wen's hand could pierce the steel plate half a finger deep. At the same time, I plunged in a few more points. But the Baxie Cone had already rushed in front of Tian Wen, and Tian Wen had no time to make up for it, so he shouted angrily, "Back again!" Everyone hurried back a lot, Lin Wan exclaimed in shock: "Are you going to pierce the steel plate?" Tian Wen shouted: "Yes! Break the magnetic force!" As Tian Wen spoke, he stabbed the ground with force again, Lin Wan took a step forward and shouted, "I'll help you!" Tian Wen knew that Lin Wan had powerful skills, so he picked up the knife and waited a while, Lin Wan had already found out a bamboo tube with a pointed end, stuck the pointed end into the small hole pierced by Tian Wen's steel thorn, and slapped his hand, A puff of acid mist rose, and the iron ground suddenly turned white, and there was a crackling sound in the small hole, and bubbles burst out. Lin Wan pulled out the bamboo tube and shouted: "Prick again!" Tian Wen responded, and stabbed again with a thousand-ton force, only heard a creaking sound, and the steel thorn pierced into the iron floor again, and did not reach the end. Tian Wen yelled loudly, veins burst out on his handsome face, it could be seen that he exerted great strength, twisted his hands, only heard the sound of the machine spring breaking under the iron plate. The oncoming Eight Fierce Awl had already pounced, Tian Wen's action immediately aroused a reaction, the Eight Fierce Cone flickered slightly, and went astray. Its momentum is slightly reduced. Tian Wen stood up, led Huo Xiaoxie and Lin Wan back two steps, and shouted, "It works!" But as soon as Tian Wen's voice fell, the eight vicious cones swayed and turned around again, returning to the previous direction, seemingly unaffected. Lin Wan shouted: "Not good! This thing is guided by two sets of magnets!" Tian Wen said solemnly: "You can only take it by force!" Tian Wen pulled off all the clothes, and put them behind his back with a snap, revealing the hard armor he was wearing all over his body.Although Tian Wen usually didn't show his figure when he was wearing a robe, now that he took off his clothes, he could see that Tian Wen's shoulders and arms were extremely strong, he was definitely a strongman. Tian Wen rubbed his hands together, two steel spikes were already in his hands, judging from his posture, he wanted to pin the steel knife of Baxio Cone with one person's strength. Just as Tian Wen was about to step forward, Huo Xiaoxie jumped out from behind him in a flash out of the corner of his eye, and rushed towards the eight evil cones. Tian Wen shouted in shock: "Come back!" Huo Xiaoxie didn't care about these things at all, and rushed straight towards the eight evil cones. It turned out that Huo Xiaoxie had been behind Tian Wen all along. Seeing that the eight evil cones were really powerful, he couldn't help him, and was impatient, and he was always thinking about how to stop the eight evil cones. Huo Xiaoxie saw that Tian Wen had lost a move, and Tian Wen was about to force him, Huo Xiaoxie was heartbroken, and only hated himself for being incompetent!Lin Wan said that among the three, only Huo Kejin was the only one, but he was useless, the danger had already appeared, so could she just hide behind Tian Wen? The thoughts in Huo Xiaoxie's mind were jumping like lightning and flint, and the eight knife rings of the eight fierce cones seemed not so fast in his eyes.Huo Xiaoxie could see clearly that there was a two-foot-high gap between each knife ring, which could allow a person to pass through, but even if they could, who would dare to try?If the knife ring is accidentally touched, it will be a dead end. Huo Xiaoxie didn't care about this much, he could think of this as a solution, and suddenly felt proud and full of confidence in his chest, so he rushed forward, wanting to break through this murderous awl! Huo Xiaoxie's movements were extremely fast, Tian Wen held the steel ruler in his hand, and it was too late to hold Huo Xiaoxie, and he could only watch Huo Xiaoxie rushing away like an arrow leaving the string.Tian Wen was in a cold sweat from shock, Huo Xiaoxie's departure was almost the same as sending him to death! Huo Xiaoxie's heart, eyes, and body were united, and he rushed to the Eight Fierce Cone, and suddenly rushed forward, his body flew up almost parallel to the ground, and flew into the gap between the second and third saber rings. The second and second saber rings are the intersection of the bottom part of the eight evil cones and the upper one. The gap is the widest. In addition to the huge base of the eight evil cones, there is still a small room for stepping on here.Huo Xiaoxie leaps in, the steel knife almost touches Huo Xiaoxie's scalp, and sweeps across a large clump of hair, the same is true for the toes, the wind of the knife almost tears Huo Xiaoxie's flesh! Huo Xiaoxie didn't even think about passing through the gap. He hugged the cone with his hands in front of him. Following the inertia, his body rolled sideways like a coiled snake, making his heels and toes exert force to step on the place where he landed. It actually landed on the cone.This situation is dangerous and dangerous, the two knife rings are no more than two fingers away from Huo Xiaoxie, with a slight movement of the body, a piece of flesh can be sliced ​​off. When Tian Wen and Lin Wan saw that Huo Xiaoxie used such a desperate trick and it succeeded, they were both surprised and happy, unable to utter a word. Huo Xiaoxie supported her with her right hand and feet, and shouted at Lin Wan with red eyes: "Lin Wan, throw me your potion just now! Quick! I won't last long!" Lin Wan came back to her senses, obeyed her words, immediately took out the pointed bamboo tube, positioned it, and threw it at Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie grabbed the free left hand, but his body still swayed, and with a soft puff sound, a piece of flesh and blood on his shoulder had been cut off.Huo Xiaoxie was in pain, and was about to slide half a point, this fate was lost. Lin Wan screamed, her face paled, and she was about to cry, but Lin Wan was more sensible, and quickly covered her mouth tightly, tears rolling in her eyes. Huo Xiaoxie suddenly smiled at Lin Wan, he was lucky enough to be able to laugh at this time! Huo Xiaoxie straightened his body, tried his best to stabilize himself, turned around with his left hand, inserted the sharp mouth of the bamboo tube into the junction of the two truncated cones of the eight evil cones, followed Lin Wan's method, and poured the potion into it! The white smoke from the potion corroding the iron rose up, and the piercing Huo Xiaoxie couldn't open his eyes. He just wanted to gamble on this trick, destroying the eight evil cones from the inside, and stopping the movement of this murderous weapon. Huo Xiaoxie gritted his teeth, endured the pain from the white smoke, and almost poured the whole tube of potion into the joint of the eight evil cones, thinking in his heart: "Will it work! If it doesn't work, I'll die!" The eight evil cones still have no intention of stopping, Huo Xiaoxie is already exhausted, his muscles are so sore, and he is close to his limit. Huo Xiaoxie cursed secretly: "Your grandma! You can't stop!" Coincidentally, Huo Xiaoxie had just finished cursing in secret, only to hear the ding-dong, bang, and clattering noises inside the Eight Fierce Awl, and the piercing sound of metal rubbing could be heard endlessly, the Eight Fierce Cone made strange noises, tilted up and down, and the eight knife rings also rotated slowed down. Huo Xiaoxie said happily: "It's done!" Huo Xiaoxie did it!The eight evil cones lost their direction and began to slam into the wall. The blade was cutting the bluestone, turning slower and slower, and it was about to stop. Huo Xiaoxie has reached the limit of his physical strength. His posture is so difficult that ordinary people can't hold it for a second. Huo Xiaoxie can hold it for nearly 20 seconds, which is enough to make Tian Wen and Lin Wan admire him. Huo Xiaoxie couldn't hold back any longer, chuckled secretly, and said, "Fortunately, if you fall like this, at least you won't lose your life." Huo Xiaoxie closed his eyes, and was about to slide down and get stabbed twice. At this moment, there were two loud bangs. Huo Xiaoxie felt his arm being pulled, and a strong force rushed in to stabilize him. 火小邪抬眼一看，只见田问手持钢刺，已经将第一道、第二道刀环击停，一猫腰迈入，恰到时机的支持了火小邪一把。 火小邪说不出个谢字，田问手上的大力传来，就要将火小邪拽离八凶锥。火小邪当然识得分寸，随着田问的力道，身子一发力，便从八凶锥内跃了出来，在地上滚了两滚，半蹲在地，大口大口的喘着粗气。 田问知道火小邪没事了，手中钢刺再挥，他力气强横，当当又是两击，再停住了两道刀环，至此时分，这个霸道凶狠的八凶锥便已废了。八凶锥晃了晃，再无施展的余地，哐啷一声，翻倒在墙上，嘎嘎嘎乱响一气，再不动了。 林婉揉身赶到火小邪身旁，满眼含泪的关切问道：“火小邪！你还好吧！” 火小邪闻得林婉身上的淡淡香气，美人做伴，心中美滋滋的，顿时笑道：“没事没事！就是肩头火辣辣的疼！” 林婉看了一眼，说道：“好在是皮外伤，我给你上药。唉，火小邪，你真是……何必冒这么大的风险。” 火小邪说道：“冒险也算值了。哈哈。” 田问也已走来，沉声道：“佩服！” 林婉已经拿出药膏，给火小邪细细抹上，一股子清凉涌来，火小邪肩头的疼痛消除大半，这木家的疗伤灵药，真是名不虚传。 火小邪看向林婉，这个温柔秀丽的美人，若能时时陪伴在自己身边，该有多好。想着想着，火小邪的心里又有点痴狂起来，一只手不由自主的想握住林婉的小手，对林婉说声你真好，谢谢你了。 就在此时，田问说道：“不宜久留。” 火小邪立即清醒过来，暗自大骂自己简直混帐之极，赶忙站起，说道：“的确不宜久留，我们赶快走吧！再冒出一个八凶锥，就有我们好受的了。” 三人略略收拾一番，绕过八凶锥的残骸，小心翼翼向前行去。 三人一直走到走廊尽头，再也没有发现任何不对之处。走廊尽头是一个向上的楼梯，三人各显神通探了探，极为平常，便迈上楼梯，向上走了一段，头顶的一块铁板早就打开，似乎在迎接他们的到来。 三人跨出楼梯，眼前居然是一个围墙高耸的庭院，围墙之高，足有四米，却看不到一个门。院子的地面，全是巨大的青石铺成，寸草不生。而院子正中，坐落着一个孤零零的正方形小屋，说是小屋子，更象盒子。这间小屋四门八窗，里面黑乎乎的，什么都看不清楚。 三人静立片刻，谁都没有乱动，各自仔细观察。 林婉终于第一个开口说话：“这里好怪，怎么金家的东西都这么稀奇古怪的？” 田问静思片刻，说道：“锁龙铸。” 林婉一听，吃惊道：“锁龙铸？这不是五行地宫里金家的防盗阵法吗？” 田问凝神静气，说道：“应该是。” 林婉说道：“可是金家人怎么能把五行地宫的锁龙铸修在这里？这太不可思议了！这可是有违五行世家的约定……难道说安河镇的段文章段老爷，是……” 田问挥手打断林婉的说话，沉声道：“不要说。” 田问、林婉都面色紧张起来，他们的这种神态让火小邪心中忐忑，难道段文章就是金王？或者和田问一样，是反出金家的弟子？段文章此人，怎么看都是一个乡下的地主，除了一副弥勒佛一样的表情，再没有丝毫特异之处，尚不及那个刘锋刘队长威风，莫非金家人都是如此，隐在穷乡僻壤之处？ 火小邪反正想不明白，看向田问，说道：“田问大哥，锁龙铸可有破解的法子？” 田问低声道：“我们没有。” 火小邪追问道：“锁龙铸到底厉害在什么地方？” 田问依旧低声道：“万鳞刀阵。” 火小邪见潘子心切，有些着急，声音大了起来：“田问大哥，你能不能多说几句？慢点也行啊。万鳞刀阵，到底是什么？” 田问知道火小邪心急，不是他故意说的少，而是他说话的确不利索。火小邪这样一追问，田问面露尴尬，指了指林婉，说道：“你说。” 林婉轻笑一声，说道：“那好，我知道也不多，我要是说错了，田问大哥你打断我就是了。” 田问点头应了，林婉便柔声说了起来：“锁龙铸，是金家的防盗绝学之一，用在为大清皇帝修建的五行地宫之中，样子和这个差不多，但尺寸肯定小了不少。我爹木王、土王和其他世家的贼王都见过，我们这些小辈只是听说而已。据我爹说，锁龙铸又名万鳞刀阵，阵如其名，乃是由数万把鳞片似的利刀组成的防盗阵，别看眼前景象一切寻常，实际上地下应有一个巨大的刀巢，一旦发动起来，刀阵如蛟龙翻腾，变化无穷，之所以叫锁龙铸，是说哪怕你是天上神龙化身，陷入此阵，照样难逃。金家数十年前因金行灯灭，离开大清皇室，已经把五行地宫中的锁龙铸废掉，这几十年来，都没有人说得清锁龙铸发动起来是什么样子的。我那木王爹爹告诉我说，要是找不到停止机关的法门，锁龙铸是无人能硬闯过去的。” 火小邪问道：“不是火克金吗？要是火王来了，能过去吗？” 林婉说道：“恐怕也不行，锁龙铸乃是至强至盛的金阵，已经到了金侮火的程度，即是金反克火。同样道理，金本克木，但如果木气亢极，不受金制，反而侮金。可惜我一个人在此，若是我爹爹来了，给他时间，他炼出千桶化金水，此阵可破。说是这么说，千桶化金水，光炼制出来就要数月，动用极大的人力才行。” 田问说道：“所说极是！” 火小邪急道：“那我们该怎么办？还进不进去了？” 田问一摇头，叹道：“我们输了。” 火小邪立即叫道：“你是说我们已经输了？就是因为见到这个是他妈的锁龙铸？我们只能放弃了？” 田问答道：“是。” 火小邪叫道：“我不信！我要去试一试！” 林婉将火小邪拉住，柔声说道：“火小邪，田问大哥绝对不开玩笑的，他不是临阵退缩的人啊。这个锁龙铸以我们三人，是根本过不去的！相信我，我们谁也不想输，我们都想见到潘子。” 火小邪听林婉这么一说，反而冷静下来，说道：“那停止机关的法门呢？只要找到法门，停下机关，不就能过去了吗？” 林婉说道：“说是这么说，可金家把法门藏在何处，法门又是怎么施展的，要是没有金家人在此点拨，近乎于大海捞针啊。” 火小邪咬牙道：“可是我不甘心！我真的不甘心啊！” 田问略上前一步，手中不知什么时候多了一小块石子，说道：“看！”将石子丢了出去。 只见石子飞到空中，划了道弧线，叮的一声落到地上，刚一弹起，只听到唰唰唰锐响，地面上无数道寒光冒出，晃的人眼一花，根本看不清是什么样的刀子！那块小石子被寒光划成粉碎，小小的碎块四下坠落。 就算这样，此阵仍不罢休，刀光如同波浪一样，唰唰唰的连成一片，如同地面上翻起数道银蛇，连小小的碎块都被击成齑粉。 田问喝道：“全是刀！” 火小邪看的目瞪口呆，原以为前方的地面是巨大的青石铺成，这下仔细看清，原来地面根本就不是青石，而是密密麻麻排列着的刀片！刀锋的青芒连成一片，咋一看的确让人认为就是青石。 这种骇人听闻的防盗布置，这样巨大的工程，居然就在这个破败不堪的安河镇！ 火小邪背上冷汗直冒，若不是田问在他眼前丢出石子试了一试，打死自己都想象不到会是这般厉害。 “哈哈，哈哈！”院子中间的小屋中，突然传来的段文章的笑声。 火小邪、田问、林婉三人都是微微一愣，立即全神贯注，以防不测。 “就凭你们现在的盗行，还谈什么去五行地宫！找死罢了！潘子绝对不会跟着你们去找死的！你们非要去，我也不想拦着，你们走吧！走吧！”段文章虽说声音还是笑哈哈的，但言语中隐隐的藏着一丝冷蔑之气。 田问、林婉尚未说话，火小邪已经喊了起来：“我说过了，见不到潘子活着，我绝对不会走的！” “痴心啊痴心！为何这个世界上有这么多痴心之人？明知是死路一条，为何还要牵扯上别人！”段文章笑道。 “我愿意！千金难买我愿意！除非我亲耳听到潘子对我说他不走了，否则我绝对不相信潘子会不辞而别！”火小邪骂道。 “哈哈！好一句千金难买我愿意！果然是潘子的好兄弟！火小邪，有朝一日，你害死了潘子，难道你就愿意吗？”段文章还是笑哈哈的说道，却带着一丝酸楚。 “你说了这么多，只要潘子出来见我一面我就走！你如果不心虚，你怕个什么！”火小邪答道。 “哈哈，火小邪，你以为潘子一定会跟你走？你以为潘子宁肯不认我这个父亲也要跟你走？火小邪，如果你父亲、母亲在你面前，你也会走？如果你父母知道你要去送死，会让你走？你们几个年少轻狂，自以为要去做天大的事情，其实在我的眼里，都是痴心妄想！” “不要再说废话了！让潘子出来！”火小邪叫道。 “我绝对不会让他见你的！哈哈！也罢也罢，你要等，你就等在这里，一直等到死吧！哈哈哈！”段文章哈哈哈大笑三声，再无声息。 火小邪大骂几声回来，可惜毫无用处。 田问紧皱眉头，来到火小邪身旁，轻拍火小邪的肩头，低声道：“对不住，你……” 火小邪反而笑了起来，说道：“田问大哥，我知道你想说什么，我答应你的事，就是我自己的事，我这个人命贱，就算是死，也想死的光彩点。如果不帮你这一趟，我活着也没有多大意思，给我一点时间，三天内见不到潘子，我们就走。” 田问没有说话，矗立一旁，静思不已。 火小邪转头对林婉说道：“林婉姑娘，我和潘子的两个徒弟乔大乔二和黑风，还在等着我们回去，麻烦你和田问大哥说一下，你们先出去吧，告诉他们我和潘子的去向，以免他们担心。” 林婉眼波闪动，说道：“好的，我知道了。” 林婉走向田问，说道：“田问大哥，我们先走吧。” 田问点了点头，说道：“好。” 田问深深的看了几眼火小邪，两人便就向后退去。 火小邪没有回头，只是喊道：“田问大哥，你等我三天！三天后我要是不回来，你再走！我一定要和你去五行地宫，如果你怕连累我，把我甩掉，我会恨你一辈子的！” 火小邪这句话说到了田问的心坎上，田问之所以会和林婉离开，就是不想让火小邪、潘子再参与偷五行圣王鼎的事情，段文章说的很对，“如此盗行还想去五行地宫，如同找死，何必要连累别人？”田问深受触动，他已然想明白了，这才做下这番决定。 火小邪一语道破，田问更觉惭愧，他虽说平日里喜怒不行于色，却并不是一个心机很深的人，相反非常真诚言出必行。 田问将头一低，冲火小邪的背影抱了抱拳，沉声道：“等你三天。” 林婉亦说道：“火小邪，就算你能破了锁龙铸，前方还有多少防盗机关仍不得而知，你千万不要冒险尝试，丢了性命就真的再也见不到潘子了。” 火小邪说道：“放心吧，我绝对不会平白无故的去死的。我们都是盗贼是不是？盗贼不是土匪，不会逞一时意气，利害关系算的清楚！” 林婉说道：“那就好！我们在镇外等你三天，你随性而为，不用勉强。” 火小邪笑了声，挥手告别。 田问、林婉再不多说，慢慢退了回去。
