Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Locking the Dragon and Forging the World

Huo Xiaoxie and his group of seven went up and down the "jewellery" tunnel for a while, and walked left and right for a full three or four miles before they reached the end, which was a circular tunnel. "Room". As soon as Huo Xiaoxie and the others walked into this room, they were blinded by the light. It turned out that the floor and ground of this room, and the surrounding walls were covered with gold flakes, and there were more than a dozen egg-sized night pearls hanging on the walls, shining brightly. Shiny, making this room extravagant, dazzling golden light.It's just that although the room is good, there is no exit in sight.

Tian Wen, Lin Wan, and Shui Meier were not surprised when they saw the big scene, they stood in the room and looked around. But Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er have never seen the "golden house", and they couldn't close their mouths.Seeing that Qian's eyes were wide open, Pan Zi's eyes shone brightly. He rubbed his hands and shouted, "Mom, it's all gold here! You're so fucking rich! I can smell it when I smell it, it's gold!" Pan Zi didn't dare to touch the walls on all sides, so he squatted down and lay on the ground, stretching his limbs, breathing in and out.

Huo Xiaoxie kicked Pan Zi: "What are you doing!" Pan Zi hummed intoxicated, "Swimming on gold, enjoy it, give it a try? It's so enjoyable!" Huo Xiaoxie yelled: "Swimming? Thank you for thinking! Get up, it's too embarrassing!" He grabbed Pan Zi by the collar and lifted Pan Zi up. Pan Zixiang smacked his lips as if he had just eaten something delicious, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, why do you think the Jin family built a golden house here? Is it to bribe the robbers who came here? After seeing so much gold, Knock down a few yuan, go back and enjoy it, why not do it."

Huo Xiaoxie scolded: "If you come here alone and I let you take whatever you want, will you go back?" "If you don't go back, don't go back, isn't it a room full of gold!" "You are a sensible person." "Of course, because I don't think there is much gold in this house, and there must be a lot of gold below." "Pan Zi, you...act like I didn't say anything." Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Ziqian said a few words, Tian Wen, Shui Meier, and Lin Wan had already found something on the wall, and invited everyone to come over. Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er walked to the wall, and Tian Wen pointed to the faint pattern inlaid on the gold on the wall and asked, "What does this mean?"

While Tian Wen was speaking, his eyes fell on Pan Zi, as if he mainly wanted to hear Pan Zi's opinion. Both Pan Zi and Huo Xiaoxie looked closely, and saw the faint pattern engraved on the gold, crooked, with straight or rounded corners, and countless lines criss-crossing inside the pattern, it didn't look like anything . Pan Zi murmured, "This design doesn't make any sense! It's nothing." Huo Xiaoxie asked Tian, ​​"Can I touch it?" Tian asked, "Yes." Huo Xiaoxie stretched out his hand, and touched lightly with his fingers along the edge of the pattern, but there was no abnormality. Huo Xiaoxie was not reconciled, so he pressed it down with more strength.

Hearing a chirp, the pattern actually sank into the wall from the grain, following Huo Xiaoxie's hand. Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "Not good!" Then he backed away, and everyone didn't dare to be careless, they all took a step back. Nothing happened, it was business as usual. Shui Mei'er said: "This Jin family is really disgusting. They clearly abolished the Suolong Zhushi Palace, but they didn't open the door to the palace like the Huo family, and even carved some weird patterns on the wall." .” Lin Wan said: "Sister of the Shui family, could it be that the mechanism technique of the Jin family is too complicated, once disabled, even the door to the palace will be locked?"

Shui Meier coquettishly said: "Who knows? The mechanism technique of the Jin family is divided into three locks, three casts and three chains. They often pull one to move the whole body. After the palace is abandoned, the locks and chains all die, and the whole underground palace becomes a piece of iron." Pimples are not out of the question." Lin Wan said: "If this is the case, we can only bypass the Suolong Casting World Palace?" Tian Wen said in a deep voice, "No!" Shui Meier asked: "This room is completely covered with layers of heavy gold, and the Tujia's pathfinding technique cannot be used. If you say no, where is the exit of this room?"

Tian Wen pondered and said, "The pattern is a spoon." Shui Meier smiled coquettishly: "But there are so many of us here, no one knows what this pattern means?" Huo Xiaoxie listened for a long time, then said at this moment: "Let me see again, among the five elements, isn't Huo conquering gold?" Huo Xiaoxie said as he walked to the pattern that was slightly sunken into the wall, pressed on each point of the pattern, and found that the small pieces formed by the criss-crossing lines on the pattern could sink slightly. Huo Xiaoxie was very surprised, put all ten fingers together, tapped a small piece in each, and pressed down.The small pieces settled unevenly, and returned to their original shape as soon as they let go.

Everyone saw it, and Shui Meier said: "The lifting and lowering method of the small pieces on this pattern is very similar to an ancient lost lock!" Everyone looked at Shui Meier, Shui Meier smiled and said: "It's just a legend, you can listen to it. It is said that there is a kind of lock called secret lock, which is composed of countless small pieces that can go up and down. To open, it must be pressed with different strengths, different depths, and almost simultaneously in the form of a certain pattern. It is said that the master craftsman of the Jin family in ancient times made a batch and pressed with a specific pattern on the jade pendant to open it. To open it, there is even a legend that Heshibi is an open secret potassium tool made by the Jin family in ancient times."

Lin Wan said: "It's really amazing! If this pattern is Mika, it can only be opened with special tools." Shui Meier said: "Not necessarily! Just now Huo Xiaoxie said that Huo conquers gold, and what he said is correct. If there are a few like-minded Huo family masters here, push down at the same time, constantly adjust the strength, and use the Huo family's keen sense of touch and precise force, should be able to use hands instead of tools." Lin Wan said: "How many masters of the Huo family who share the same mind? We have two here." Shui Meier laughed, and said: "Sister Lin Wan, look at the small pieces on it, there are as many as thirty pieces, and Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi only have twenty fingers, so you can't use all your toes. let's go."

Seeing Lin Wan and Shui Meier talking about them, Huo Xiaoxie clasped his fists and said, "The Huo family's bezoar rope can only be untied by using all five fingers together. Pan Zi and I can try it, but the two of us can't do it. We need Shui Meier, Lin Wan, and Tian Wen, each lending a hand to help." Shui Meier smiled and said: "It's okay to help, but the strength cannot be expressed with words. The most difficult thing is to communicate with each other." Lin Wan blushed for some reason, but it immediately faded away, and said in a low voice, "I can give it a try." Shui Meier smiled charmingly, cast a look at her, and said, "Ah? Lin Wan, can you connect with Huo Xiaoxie?" Lin Wan repeatedly waved her hands and said, "No, I can use a special drug from the Mu family to try to make us feel the same, but there are some side effects and it won't hurt anyone." Shui Meier said a little angrily: "Tune the consciousness into the same? Sister Lin Wan, you are using a Gu technique! How can you use Gu technique on everyone? This is not possible!" The atmosphere was a little awkward, Huo Xiaoxie interrupted: "Don't talk about it, let's try!" Huo Xiaoxie yelled at Pan Zi, only to find that Pan Zi was hiding aside, constantly playing with the eight-change ball in his hand. Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help but scolded: "Pan Zi, are you still in the mood to play at this time?" "Haha, haha!" Pan Zi laughed and raised the eight-change ball in his hand.At this time, the eight-variable ball was in Pan Zi's hands, and it had become nondescript, not a tool at all. Pan Zi shouted: "Look at the side of my gadget, is it exactly the same as the pattern on the wall?" Everyone was a little dazed, Pan Zile rushed forward, waved his hands, and with a click, he actually put the weird shape formed by the eight-variable ball into the pattern on the wall completely and seamlessly. Pan Zi shouted: "Hey! It's really good!" As he spoke, he pushed hard and made a rumbling sound. The eight-variable ball pressed against the pattern on the wall and fell into the wall automatically! "Open!" As soon as Pan Zi finished speaking, everyone felt the ground tremble, and the room made of gold suddenly sank. Everyone hastened to stand firm in case of unexpected events.I thought the golden house would fall down suddenly, but unexpectedly it was very stable. I only heard the faint rattling sound of the machine spring in the wall, and the house sank down at a leisurely pace. Shui Meier smiled and said, "The Jin family is interesting, but heavy gold is heavy. Pan Zi, what is that thing you embedded in the wall?" Pan Zi laughed and said, "It's the eight-change ball. I asked for it from someone in a place called Anhe Town. I didn't expect it to be used for this." Shui Meier said to herself: "Anhe Town, a place where refugees from Hunan and Hubei take refuge." Huo Xiaoxie was very happy, jumped in front of Pan Zi, put his arms around Pan Zi's neck, crushed his forehead hard with his fist, and said with a smile: "Pan Zi, don't you see that you are very good at it. " "It hurts! Take it easy!" Pan Zile shouted haha. During the frolicking, the golden house stopped with a bang. Everyone looked to one side, and saw that the scene outside the only exit of the room had changed. Connected to the golden room is a corridor wrapped in silver-gray iron sheet. The corridor is not long, and it seems to be connected to a huge space at the end.The lukewarm light shone in, very soft. There were a few more bangs, and the eight-variable ball embedded in the wall was slowly pushed out of the wall and fell down. Pan Zi was quick to catch it, and shouted, "Don't break it." Pan Zi tossed and tossed with Hululu in his hands, restored the eight-variable ball to its original shape, and put it back in the bag. Tian Wen has already stepped out of the room, and greeted everyone: "Safe!" Everyone didn't want to stay for a long time, so they walked out of the room one after another, and stepped into the corridor wrapped in iron sheets. Huo Xiaoxie immediately felt familiar, this corridor was almost exactly the same as the one underground in Duan Wen's house in Anhe Town. Huo Xiaoxie looked at Tian Wen and Lin Wan. The three of them had the same feeling and nodded to each other. Huo Xiaoxie asked: "Brother Tian Wen, I don't know if there will be eight evil cones coming out." Tian Wen shook his head and said, "No! Let's go!" The people walked forward quickly, and after walking for a short distance, they heard the rattle mechanism ringing again behind them, and hurriedly looked back, it turned out that the golden room they were riding in was slowly ascending, leaving only one that was bigger than the golden room. Doubled the space.This space is still circular, with smooth walls and nothing in it. It can be seen that the golden room is suspended from above with steel cables.If the golden room could just fit inside, the walls of the golden room would be as thick as a person. No wonder Shui Meier once said that the room was covered by layers of heavy gold, and Tian Wen's pathfinding skills could not be used. The Jin house weighed at least a hundred thousand catties, but it was raised and lowered so smoothly and easily, which shows the Jin family's ability to operate organs. Huo Xiaoxie originally wanted to ask if he had lost his way out, but then he thought that this was a little too cautious, so he smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously. Tian Wen, Lin Wan, and Shui Meier didn't care much, as if they thought they should. Qiao Da and Qiao Er are two bastards, as long as they follow Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi, they basically don't use their brains, and look at it stupidly, as if nothing happened. Only Pan Zi seemed to be more thoughtful. According to Pan Zi's usual personality, he would talk nonsense in this situation, but at this moment his face became serious, and he turned his head and stared at the front of the corridor without saying a word. Everyone walked forward, and it was the same as the Duan family's underground in Anhe Town. At the end of the corridor was an upward staircase, which should lead to the main formation of Suolongzhushi Palace. Walking up the stairs and stepping on the ground, even though Huo Xiaoxie, Tian Wen, and Lin Wan had seen Suolongzhu in Anhe Town, the scene in front of them still made everyone take a deep breath. This Suolong Casting Palace is more than five times larger than the Suolongzhu in Anhe Town, and the top is also wrapped in iron sheets, like a huge iron wrist, buckled upside down on the ground.There is not one square room in the palace, but five identical rooms, each occupying five directions, and in the middle there is an iron pillar four or five people thick, standing proudly on top of the sky.The sea of ​​thousands of scales on the ground is shining with silver light, and they are connected as one. Although it is as calm as a piece of bluestone ground, it is cold and deep, which makes people feel cool. Tian Wen pondered for a long time, but still didn't dare to lead everyone into the formation. Tian Wen had seen the "small" Suolong Zhushi Palace in Anhe Town before, and knew it was extremely powerful, so he could only retreat but not advance. Today, he saw it in the Five Elements Underground Palace Lord, no matter how thick and steady Tian Wen's personality is, he still shudders a few times, with lingering fears in his heart. Pan Zi grinned down, greatly shocked, blinked his eyes involuntarily, looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Tian Wen, Shui Meier, Lin Wan, are you sure that the Suolong Zhushi Palace of the Jin family has already passed away?" Is it useless?" The three were silent for a while before Lin Wan answered: "It should have been abandoned for decades, and the Jin Family's underground palace was the first to be abandoned." Then Shui Meier giggled and said, "Pan Zi, do you know some secrets to lock the Dragon Forging World Palace?" Pan Zi squeezed his eyes with a wry smile, and said, "Why don't you understand? The purpose of Locking Dragon Forging World Palace is to make you unable to advance or retreat after entering, and trap you to death. Just now we took the golden room Come down, obviously there is still a power drive here, if it is not disabled, once the few of us go in, we will be trapped inside." When Pan Zi said this, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help but think back to his Suolongzhu in Anhe Town, and finally entered the center, who knew that entering the center was the moment when the formation was really activated, making people no longer have a way out.Thinking of this, Huo Xiaoxie was stunned, and the scene of the sea of ​​knives seemed to be in front of him. Shui Meier said: "Pan Zi, if the Five Elements Underground Palace hadn't abolished the four palaces of water, fire, metal, and wood, how would we dare to come in? The only person in the world who can win the trip from the Five Elements Underground Palace without any risk is Tuwang Tian Guang. They are still guarding the cauldron. After each family abolishes the underground palace, they must tell the remaining thief kings who guard the cauldron how to destroy the palace, so to this day, only the earth king knows the method of destroying the palace of each underground palace." Pan Zi asked: "Once the underground palace is abolished, can it still be activated? Can the earth king also activate it if he can destroy the palace?" Shui Meier giggled coquettishly and said: "That's impossible. The activation methods of each underground palace are the top secrets of the Five Elements family. How can you tell others easily? Not to mention the stubborn old earth king who doesn't want to be flexible, the fire king Jin Wangmu Wang Shui Wang would not do such a thankless thing." Huo Xiaoxie stepped forward and patted Pan Zi lightly, and said, "Pan Zi, don't think too much, let's go in and have a look first." Pan Zi changed into a crying face, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, I went into Master Duan's Suolongzhu, you don't know, I never dared to say, if the underground mechanism layout is activated, even flies and mosquitoes will be chopped into pieces." Powder, anything that moves, unless it's a ghost." Shui Meier asked suspiciously: "Pan Zi, have you ever gone in? Master Duan's Suolongzhu? Who is Master Duan?" Pan Zi twisted his face and said, "This is a long story. That old master Duan from Anhe Town, who claimed to be my father, once took me on a tour." Shui Meier thought for a while, and said to herself: "I see..." Seeing that Pan Zi was still preoccupied, Huo Xiaoxie felt happy and laughed hahaha. Everyone felt strange, what was Huo Xiaoxie laughing at this time, Pan Zi was even more dissatisfied: "Huo Xiaoxie, such a big one is in front, you are laughing like a ghost!" Huo Xiaoxie smiled and said: "What's the matter, everyone, haven't you confirmed that this palace is an abandoned palace? Why are everyone so nervous? The Black Water Danghun Palace was not drowned, and the Huozhao Risheng Palace was not roasted to death. Being hacked to death by a knife? The more suspicious and indecisive, the more difficult it is to move." Said Huo Xiaoxie was going to go first. Shui Meier chuckled coquettishly, and said, "Huo Xiaoxie, does he look like a man? But you still don't know how powerful the Jin family is. Among the families of the Five Elements, the Jin family's anti-theft formation, the Dragon Locking Palace, Unlike other four-element underground palaces, there is still some room for maneuver. Once the judgment is wrong, the gods of Daluo will inevitably die. We are not nervous, but cautious. Pan Zi said that there is still power here, and it is true." Tian Wen also said, "Wait a little longer." Huo Xiaoxie shrugged, and said: "If it is found out that the motivation is not lost, then we will have nothing to do? You all say that the palace is ruined, why don't you believe in yourself? Besides, if the Jin family is tough, I will be even tougher , Either win or lose, it's simple, it's very enjoyable, I like to go straight." Huo Xiaoxie didn't wait any longer, and strode forward, stepping on the sea of ​​thousands of scale knives, and walked a few steps vigorously, only to hear a loud buzzing sound from the underground of the underground palace, and the ground vibrated quickly, like a knife The sea will explode at any time.At the same time, the sound of rattling, rattling, rattling, rattling, rattling, rattling, rattling, and rattling sounds continued, very ear-piercing, as if Huo Xiaoxie's intrusion had awakened the ten-thousand-year-old monsters in the ground, and catastrophe was imminent Pan Zi's voice trembled, and he shouted in surprise, "Huo Xiaoxie! Come back!" Huo Xiaoxie also shouted: "What are you afraid of! Since it is an abandoned palace, it must be abandoned! There is nothing to be afraid of if there is any noise!" Huo Xiaoxie kept on stepping, stomping the ground as he walked, and the sound of the underground machinery became louder and louder, almost deafening.The more this happened, the less afraid Huo Xiaoxie was, cursing in his heart: "Don't make a loud fart, don't make a loud fart! Ahaha!" There were several high-pitched sounds in the underground palace, and then suddenly, as if out of breath, the sound gradually faded away, and finally there were a few strange screams, and then there was no more sound. Huo Xiaoxie jumped twice, laughed aloud, turned around and waved his arms to Tian Wen and the others, and shouted: "It's okay, it's okay! It should be the last breath of this underground palace just now, let it go all at once." Just fart. You see, it's dead." Pan Zi wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and cursed: "Huo Xiaoxie, you are so evil! Just now you almost scared my brother out of my guts!" Tian Wen, Lin Wan, and Shui Meier couldn't laugh or cry. Although Huo Xiaoxie's approach was a bit reckless, it was a head-to-head style of play, but it was commendable.If it wasn't for Huo Xiaoxie's "chaos", I'm afraid everyone would linger here for a long time. Everyone followed Huo Xiaoxie into the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Scales Knife. As Huo Xiaoxie said, this huge Suolongcasting Palace is already dead, and the place under its feet is solid and flat, as if walking on flat ground, no difference shape. Huo Xiaoxie waited for everyone to come forward, and then showed a trace of shame, and said, "I'm sorry, I was running around, but fortunately there is nothing wrong with it." Tian Wen and Lin Wan both smiled slightly, but did not speak. Shui Meier said: "Huo Xiaoxie, you can't get it right every time, you can't get carried away! Hee hee, it's not really a fool, you win, you win." Pan Zi took a long breath and said, "It's fine, everything will be fine! But there are five identical houses here, which one should I enter?" Huo Xiaoxie raised his head, pointed to a house, and said with certainty, "This one." Everyone was even more surprised, they all looked in the direction Huo Xiaoxie was pointing at, and there was nothing special about the house that Huo Xiaoxie was pointing at. Before everyone could speak, Tian Wen, who had been in charge of finding the way, asked unexpectedly first, "Why?" Huo Xiaoxie hummed, and said, "Brother Tian Wen, why are there five houses here? Does it mean that the five elements generate and restrain each other?" Tian asked, "Yes." Huo Xiaoxie said: "I haven't learned the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams before. Those principles are too complicated, and I can't learn them, but someone will always draw me a picture of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint. It is a circle. Brother Tian asked, if you give me I draw a picture of the five elements, where do you draw the gold?" Tian Wen was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "The top..." Huo Xiaoxie turned her head and asked Shui Meier: "Shui Meier, if you come to paint, where will you put the golden painting?" Shui Meier laughed and said, "I will also draw on the top." "Lin Wan, what about you?" Huo Xiaoxie looked at Lin Wan and asked. Lin Wan thoughtfully replied, "I also painted on the top." Huo Xiaoxie laughed and said, "That's right. All my life, I've seen people draw pictures of the five elements that generate and restrain each other, and they always put gold on the top." Lin Wan said: "Huo Xiaoxie, the Five Elements are rotation charts, there is no fixed rule, it's just a habit, the metal is in the west, and the position is in the west. It's just that it is usually pronounced as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, because gold ranks first, everyone Just habitually put gold on top, that's all. Does that mean anything?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Since everyone is used to this, and the Jin family is also used to this, from where we entered the palace, the topmost room among the five houses, that is, the room farthest from the entrance, is the Jin family. Well! So that's it!" Shui Meier laughed coquettishly: "Huo Xiaoxie, what reason are you doing? It's completely hard! Habit?" Tian Wen tilted his head, he studied the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams intensively, but never thought of using Huo Xiaoxie's method to infer. Tian Wen said in a muffled voice, "A habit?" Huo Xiaoxie smiled and said, "Yes, it's just a habit. As soon as I came in and saw five identical houses, I immediately thought that the top one was gold!" Tian Wen, Lin Wan, and Shui Meier, the three second-generation top experts in the Five Elements family, looked at each other in blank dismay. Even though they were full of knowledge, they were powerless to refute at this time.In the eyes of Tian Wen and others, Huo Xiaoxie can be said to be a layman in the theory of the five elements, at most he has just graduated from kindergarten, although he is not completely ignorant, he only has a half-knowledge.Huo Xiaoxie doesn't think according to the common sense of the five elements at all, and turns the complicated into simple, and only infers from the position of everyone's usual drawing, is it right or wrong? But Pan Zi shouted happily: "Get used to Dafa, get used to Dafa, Huo Xiaoxie, you are really knowledgeable! I think it makes a lot of sense, that's what it is!" Huo Xiaoxie didn't care whether the talisman he said was in line with the Five Elements, he thought it was right, so he accepted Pan Zi's flattery, and said cheerfully: "You're welcome! You're welcome! I'm ashamed! I'm a little ashamed. !" After Huo Xiaoxie's "humility" of "shameless and skinless", Tian Wen finally groaned: "According to what you said!" Tian Wen really listened to Huo Xiaoxie's "false theory" and strode towards the top room of the five houses. Since Tian Wen had made such a decision, Shui Meier and Lin Wan had no objections. They all followed Tian Wen and walked towards the unattractive square iron house. On the other side, the fire shone inside the Risheng Palace, and Goujian led all the Japanese into the cave.General Yi Tian counted the number of people and items again, and gave the order to go on. Everyone cheered up, and Goujian led the way to chase Fourth Master Zhang. Fourth Master Zhang was originally worried that Goujian would get lost with him, and planned to make a sign when he encountered a fork in the road, but after walking for a long time, he didn't see any fork in the road at all.Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou and the others walked for a while, and they also came to the area where Huo Xiaoxie and the others had walked, which were embedded with many glowing phosphorites. The front is bright, and there is no need for lamps to shine, which is much more convenient.Fourth Master Zhang and the others kept walking, and they walked another mile, but they still couldn't see the end, and they didn't know how far they were.Mr. Zhang couldn't feel the warmth at all. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help turning his head and said to Mr. Zhou: "The many bricks and stones on the wall are clearly the raw materials of night pearls. They are very valuable, and they are actually used to build walls? What? People are so rich?" Mr. Zhou said: "It is said that among the five kings of thieves, the king of Jin is as rich as an enemy. In front of him may be the underground palace built by the king of thieves of the Jin family." Mr. Zhang said: "We have walked about two miles, and it is still endless. It can't be a maze that traps us here." Mr. Zhou said: "No, I will make a mark along the way. Up to now, we definitely have not turned back." Mr. Zhang said: "This place is really strange. First, there is a big hole in the middle of the black water lake, and then the fireball hole only relies on the ground to overturn and hurt people. Then we walked in such a luxurious tunnel without any precautions. Everything I see is a huge project, but full of loopholes, it doesn't look like it is anti-theft." Mr. Zhou said: "I also find it strange. I made a wild guess. If the Blackwater Lake and the Fireball Cave were anti-theft giant formations, would they be abandoned for some reason? So they look nondescript and useless. Is it a decoration?" Mr. Zhang said: "What Mr. Zhou means is that this is an abandoned anti-theft underground palace? Then if we continue to search, won't it be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, drilling around in an abandoned palace, and finally let the thief kings Did you see the joke?" Mr. Zhou said: "Master Zhang, you are confused. There are some people in front of us. They are obviously more familiar with this place than us. According to my guess, this place should be the five-level underground palace of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the Black Water Lake is the water line. , The fire ball hole is the fire element, and we are about to go to the gold element, then the wood element and the earth element, which form the underground palace of the five elements, which are relatively independent! Even if the water and fire palaces are abolished, it is difficult to say that the same is true below! Our tough battle is yet to come. " Zhang Siye said: "Mr. Zhou taught me a lesson. I now feel that the little devils have kept too many things from us. They are not simply looking for treasures, but have other plans! Judging from the scale here, the Five Elements Thief King They are all fortified here, I am afraid that what the little devil is looking for cannot be measured by money." Mr. Zhou said: "The things that cannot be measured by money are probably only the general public, the hearts of the people in the world, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains." Fourth Master Zhang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou, I suddenly felt that it would be a huge mistake for us to help the little devil this time. We may cause a catastrophe for our own selfishness!" Mr. Zhou said: "This is the end of the matter, there is no need to think about it any more. We can make things happen for the little devils, and we can also ruin their things! At the last moment, we can still rob them alive! We will kill all the Japanese at that time." , It’s a joy to shoot and break up.” Fourth Master Zhang smiled and said, "It's a good idea! I completely agree. By the way, Mr. Zhou, do you still remember the Shanghai Five Little Thieves? They were bought by Du Yuesheng and went to the south to do business." Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said, "Master Zhang, you want to say..." Fourth Master Zhang lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you still remember the information we bought from Du Yuesheng last month? Although there is only one sentence about Du Yuesheng's purpose." Mr. Zhou said, "Of course I remember!" The two whispered in unison: "The one who wins the tripod wins the world, and the one who loses the tripod loses the world! Haha, hahaha." Fourth Master Zhang stopped and shouted: "Stop! Rest here, and wait for the little devils to come up and join us!" Tian Wen, Huo Xiaoxie and the others pushed open an iron door of the square house, and everyone walked into it slowly. After taking a closer look, they saw that the layout of the house was like an ordinary residential house, with one living room and two bedrooms, tables, chairs and benches. , doors, windows, columns and beams are all available, and the feeling is that a three-room house is completely locked in a big iron box. On the front wall of this weird residential hall, there are no paintings or plaques, only a white wall with sixteen big characters written squarely in black pen on it - The Jin family is ruthless, parents and children, orphans, entering my golden gate, flesh and blood are desolate . Seeing this, Huo Xiaoxie frowned greatly. What the hell is the Jin family doing? There is a sense of desolation between the lines, as if it was specially written for people who come to read it, and there is a suspicion of complaining bitterness.The last thing Huo Xiaoxie wants to see and hear is the word "orphan". He is an orphan, and he doesn't even remember what his parents look like. This is the deepest and most painful scar in Huo Xiaoxie's heart. It feels extremely uncomfortable when touched. Complex emotions of jealousy, hatred, anger and sadness often arise. Huo Xiaoxie scolded in a low voice: "What the hell are you writing! Bad luck!" Pan Zi clicked his tongue twice, and said to himself: "Master Duan is not easy, he is so crazy about his son, alas, rich and hard-working people." Tian Wen didn't look too much, took a deep breath, walked a few steps in, everything was calm as usual. Huo Xiaoxie didn't want to think about orphans any more, so he took off his shoes and socks, and said, "Brother Tian Wen, Pan Zi and I are here! Our sense of touch is more sensitive!" Pan Zi understood, he went barefoot like Huo Xiaoxie, and followed closely behind Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie landed on the soles of his back feet first, slowly put his feet flat and then walked, moving forward slowly.Pan Zi walks on the outside of the soles of his feet first, but is ready to move laterally or turn at any time. Tian Wen, Lin Wan, and Shui Meier knew that this was the footwork of the Huo Family Pirates technique, commonly known as the duck step and side step, which could be used to pass through rooms on the ground that might have traps, so they didn't bother.In addition to these two footworks, there are sharp gait, extended gait, squatting gait, flat gait, etc. Many footworks can be combined. (The footwork of thieves was explained in detail in the second volume of the Five Great Thieves.) Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi walked around the house, but found nothing, the ground was just a solid plate. On the contrary, Lin Wan made a new discovery, that is, everything in this room is actually solid metal, all of which are welded together and do not move at all. Only a layer of paint and patterns are painted on the surface of each object, which looks like wooden. Since there is no mechanism on the ground, everyone went forward together and searched the three houses thoroughly, and touched everywhere, but found nothing.Take the golden house down here, there is still a pattern on the wall of the golden house, but let alone the pattern here, there is not even a gap the size of a needle eye. Everyone gathered in one place, quite puzzled, this place is completely a lump of iron. Huo Xiaoxie said: "Did I make a mistake? The underground palace of the Jin family, you can't go to the room that belongs to gold? You want to go to the direction of the fire element that restrains gold?" Shui Meier blinked her eyes, and said: "I remember that the Jin family is the double king of heaven and earth, the king of Qian is the head, and the king of Kun is the assistant. Sometimes it is necessary to reverse the universe." Lin Wanrou said: "Shui Meier, what you said is very interesting. What you said reminded me that everything in this room is welded together and cannot be moved. Could it be because the room will be turned upside down?" Shui Meier rushed to Tian Wen and said coquettishly: "Tian Wen, the Tu family knows the best about civil engineering and can move mountains and mountains. Do you have the ability to turn this house upside down?" Tian Wen was expressionless, he didn't like Shui Meier, and said loudly: "I can't." Although he said so, he walked away quickly, climbed to the roof a few times, and looked around. Huo Xiaoxie also felt that it was impossible to turn this iron house upside down, so she said, "I sent everyone here. If there is a mistake, I will be responsible. I will go to another house to see." Lin Wan said, "I'll go with you." Shui Meier took the words and said, "Why don't we go together! Let's take a look at all five houses first." Huo Xiaoxie glanced at Shui Meier, but didn't answer, just nodded slightly. Pan Zi shouted at this moment: "Wait a minute!" Huo Xiaoxie was overjoyed, stopped and asked, "Pan Zi, what do you remember?" Pan Zi stroked his chin and said, "Money can turn ghosts around! Let's spend money and try." Huo Xiaoxie let out a pop, almost laughing, but Huo Xiaoxie's heart moved, he held back his laughter, and said seriously: "Pan Zi, what do you mean?" Pan Zi pretended to be a ghost and said: "When we came down here, we used the eight-variable ball I asked for from Master Duan. In addition, I was given a silver ticket of three million oceans, two pistols, and a bunch of guns. Bullets. I was thinking, what else is there to use? Pistol bullets probably won’t work, and only silver bills are left.” Huo Xiaoxie said, "What's the secret in that bank note of yours?" Pan Zi said: "There must be no secrets. I look at this bank note eight hundred times a day, and I can count how many folds there are on it." Huo Xiaoxie said: "Then what do you want? Why spend money? There is no shopkeeper here to collect money, so I will sell you a prescription." Pan Zi carefully took out the silver bill from his bag, spread out his hands, and said, "I plan to do this." Everyone stopped talking and looked at what Pan Zi would do next. Pan Zi coughed a few times, held up the bank notes over his head, and said as he walked, "Heaven Lingling, Earth Lingling, here are three million ocean bank notes, buy a way out!" This time Huo Xiaoxie really couldn't help it, laughed out loud, and cursed: "Pan Zi! Don't make trouble, can you? There are no Jin family members here!" Shui Mei'er giggled and said, "Pan Zi, you're kidding me to death! Why don't you draw a money talisman if you're like this!" Huo Xiaoxie yelled: "Okay, Pan Zi, stop making trouble, let's go to the other rooms and see." Pan Zi still refused to give up, and said with a crooked mouth: "What if, what if someone can hear it? What if?" With a flash of inspiration, Huo Xiaoxie grabbed Pan Zi and said, "Pan Zi, wait! Do you remember that you told me about Qian Xiang?" Pan Zi lowered his hands, thought for a while, and said, "There is a landlord who is greedy for money. The smell of the food at home makes people smell it. He asks someone for money, but a smart man comes and shakes the money bag." , and the copper coins slammed against each other, it is considered as payment. Huo Xiaoxie, I understand, you are brilliant!" Huo Xiaoxie laughed, and said, "Do you think it makes sense?" "That's right! That's right!" Pan Zile said, put the bank notes back in his bag, took out a few copper coins, weighed them in his hand, and said, "Enough." Pan Zi threw the copper coins on the iron floor, and the knocks made a chaotic sound. Huo Xiaoxie pricked up his ears to listen carefully. Although the sound of the copper plate hitting the ground was not very loud, the sound wave traveled quickly through every corner of the room. When the sound stopped completely, Huo Xiaoxie said slowly: "Copper coins may not work, try with silver." Pan Zi shouted: "This Jin family is too good at doing business! Grandma, do you need money to open a road?" Tian Wen came down from the roof at this time, walked to Huo Xiaoxie's side, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "In this room like a lump of iron, it is possible to hear the sound of money. If the sound is right, it will be opened." 潘子哼哼唧唧的从包里再摸出两块大洋，心不甘情不愿的说道：“只怕银子也够呛，金家的那些财迷嫌少。” 林婉说道：“火小邪，你说的有理，世间万物有许多都能同声共振，金银铁器尤其如此。” 水媚儿笑道：“既然如此，潘子，你快丢钱吧。” 潘子嘟囔着说道：“金家你这个财迷，比我还财迷。”说着潘子将两块银质的大洋丢在地板上，又是叮叮当当一通脆响。 全部人都竖起耳朵，屏住呼吸，一直听到响声完毕，略等了片刻，仍然不见动静。 火小邪一点都不着急，说道：“潘子，拿金子出来！” 潘子顿时叫道：“我又不是开银庄的，哪有金子！没有没有！” 水媚儿说道：“我倒是有两片金叶子。” 水媚儿本想拿出钱来，一旁的田问袖口一甩，手中已经变出三片金叶子，递给潘子。 潘子眼睛瞪的滚圆，一把接过，说道：“田问，还是你有钱！” 火小邪骂道：“潘子，你这个没脸没皮的家伙，你包里的两枚金币呢！你以为我不知道？三姨太的两个丫头偷偷给你的，每天晚上睡觉之前，你都要拿出来在被窝里偷偷咬一咬，懒的说你！拿出来！” 潘子摆出一副苦相，尴尬道：“其实我是不愿意露富……” 火小邪继续骂道：“快点快点！不是一定要用你的，而是金币的声音比金叶子响亮，一会你捡起来就是了，还怕屋子把你的钱吃了？” 潘子只好把田问的金叶子还了，唉声叹气从包里摸摸索索取出两枚亮光闪闪的金币，说道：“好吧好吧，我丢了啊，你们用心听。” 潘子将金币抛起，两枚金币翻滚着砸到地面上，“叮……”脆响连连。 火小邪眼睛微闭，全部的听觉都随着声波四处游走，时间好像缓慢起来，两枚金币用极慢的速度，在空中弹跳翻转着。 火小邪感觉随着这阵声波传入地底黑暗的深处，一片金箔嗡的一下随着声波振动了起来，就只是这样微小的振动，带动了一个细小的机簧，机簧又带动了一个更大的机簧，一块钢条被拨出，成套的巨大齿轮嗑嗑做响，转动了起来。 火小邪猛然睁开眼睛，叫道：“成了！大家小心！” 火小邪话音刚落，只听得地下隆隆的振动声，整个房屋开始慢慢倾斜起来。 潘子丢在地上的金币、大洋、铜板全部被振动的乱滚，潘子嚎道：“我的钱啊！”就要追逐。 火小邪拉住潘子，骂道：“一会再捡！” 硕大的铁屋子加上外面套着的铁盒子，连成一体，渐渐翻转。屋外的围绕着的万鳞刀海一圈圈缩回地下，露出一个黑洞洞的空间，恰好能容纳铁屋子翻转。 火小邪他们踩着墙壁，保持站立，随着铁屋子翻转的方向走动。这间铁屋子翻转的也快，不到半分钟时间，就已经底朝天的颠倒过来。咔咔咔直响，轰的一声，铁屋子固定住，再也不动。 而从锁龙铸世宫表面看去，火小邪他们所在的铁屋子已经消失不见，只留下了一块四方形的空地，房屋部分全部都翻转到地下去了。 在铁屋子翻转的过程中，光线渐渐被遮住，所以等铁屋子完全停下，房间里已经是伸手不见五指。 众人都知道，他们现在脚下地面，乃是原来的屋顶。 潘子叫喊道：“点灯，快点灯！我的钱还没有捡啊！这是我全部身家啊！完了完了，一下子倾家荡产了啊！火小邪都怪你！就是你让我一会再捡的！现在黑乎乎的，都不知道滚哪里去了！” 黑暗中火小邪骂道：“潘子！你闭嘴好不好！等出去了我赔你！” 三声轻响，黑暗中升出三团光芒，最亮的是田问手持的一个夜明珠，其次是林婉手腕上佩戴着的一个亮环，最弱的则是水媚儿胸前的一块月牙形的宝石。这三道光芒亮起，在这些大盗眼中，房屋里已经亮如白昼一般。 潘子赶忙弯腰寻找，念念有词：“我的钱，出来啊，去哪儿了啊？我的乖？别躲着啊！” 水媚儿笑道：“潘子，别找了，多亏了你和火小邪，不然怎么会有这种乾坤颠倒的景象！嘻嘻，太有意思了，金家人的布置和游戏一样，很有童趣。” 林婉说道：“潘子，就是几个小钱，丢了就算了。” 潘子哼哼道：“哎呀，你们都是从小不缺钱的，哪知道没钱的日子是怎么回事，惨的很啊。” 火小邪不想再埋怨潘子，心中反而一酸，他从小何尝不是为了几个铜板就要挨打受骂？回忆起小时候齐建二不给钱吃饭的时候，他就只能去偷人家的馒头充饥，被打的头破血流，还舍不得把馒头丢下，往往一边挨打一边用最快的速度把馒头塞进嘴里。所以火小邪十分明白，潘子这种不合时宜的举动，绝对不是故意胡闹。 火小邪心里轻叹一声，不愿再想自己儿童时的悲惨，换了个话题，对田问说道：“田问大哥，现在能看出什么了吗？” 田问举着夜明珠转了一圈，说道：“通了！稍等！” 田问话音未落，众人脚下的屋顶嘎吱嘎吱做响，再次倾斜起来。本以为屋子又要翻转，却看到墙壁没有移动，仅仅是屋顶向一侧开启。 潘子叫道：“这下完了！连我的钱滚动的声音都没有了，该死的金家，黑老子的钱！” 屋顶渐渐从一侧打开了近二人高矮的口子，光芒涌入，亮出一条喇叭形的通道，越往前就越窄，尽头处只有一扇小门。 众人依次从屋顶的开口处走出，火小邪把潘子一架，生生把潘子拽了出来，在他耳边低骂道：“看到田问手中的夜明珠了吗？肯定是从金屋子的墙上顺下来的，一会我要过来，补偿你一下？” 潘子低声哼唧道：“你要过来行，我肯定要，可我还是丢了钱啊。我的钱丢了心疼啊，不丢的话总是钱更多了啊。” 火小邪狠狠掐了潘子一把，骂道：“再说我撕了你的嘴，你信不信。” 潘子咧嘴嚷了声痛，低声道：“不说了不说了，丢了拉倒，丢了拉倒，这个破金家黑老子的钱，我一定要从这里赚回来。” 众人聚在这个喇叭形的通道内，水媚儿回头看了一眼，说道：“这个乾坤颠倒的屋子就这样摆着了？岂不是又便宜了后面的日本人。” 潘子立即叫嚷道：“我可没钱了！你们丢你们的金叶子去。” 火小邪对火照日升宫没有复原石梁耿耿于怀，一听水媚儿此话，便要赶回去。 田问拦住火小邪，摆了摆手，示意不用，沉声说道：“锁龙无返。” 一旁的林婉点了点头，说道：“田问，你是说锁龙铸世宫不会让人这时候退回去的，所以现在无法将屋子恢复，只能向前走？” 田问点头称是。 火小邪哦了一声，抓了抓后脑勺，脑海里蹦出其他的点子。 火小邪坏笑一声，说道：“潘子不是说此宫下面比上面还厉害吗？我们这次不要躲了，看能不能恢复几个机关，摆几个毒阵，挖几个陷阱，再点一把火，让小日本下来以后，吃点苦头！一网打尽才好！” 水媚儿口音微微一凉，说道：“火小邪，你是想杀人吗？把日本人杀光？” 火小邪嗯了几声，才说道：“小日本该死……我们布阵，又不是亲自动手杀人。” 水媚儿似笑非笑的说道：“要杀人的话，林婉在上面的时候，给日本人投点剧毒，差不多就能死光光。田问如果要杀，一晚上就能拧断几百人的脖子，包括你火小邪和潘子，乔大、乔二，在营地里摸黑一口气杀掉十几个，也不是问题，哪用等到现在？日本人是贼，我们也是贼，都是进来偷东西的，各显其能而已，做贼的要是以杀戮为先，有失贼道的体统。” 火小邪听着虽说有点道理，但听着怎么都不服气，说道：“我们不杀小日本，小日本见到我们，要先杀我们怎么办？躲着？逃跑？况且在营地里杀小日本和现在杀完全是两码事！水媚儿你说话教训人似的，我一点都不觉得我这么想有什么错！现在小日本追在我们后面，明明可以杀掉，还犹豫什么！水媚儿你不杀人就算了，反正我是要杀，杀的越多越好！潘子，乔大、乔二，你们觉得怎么样？” 潘子叫道：“我同意！如果这里和安河镇的一样，我有把握发动几处。” 乔大、乔二摇头晃脑的嚷嚷道：“太好了太好了，我们在东北没少杀日本小鬼子，手痒痒的厉害呢。” 火小邪看向田问，生怕他说不行，可田问与火小邪眼光一碰，连考虑一下的意思都没有，直接说道：“未尝不可！” 火小邪心头愉悦，有田问支持，如同打了一针强心剂，更添信心。 林婉此时也盈盈说道：“火小邪，我也觉得可以在这里设伏，阻一阻日本人。”林婉说完，并不等火小邪说话，就看向水媚儿，柔声说道：“水媚儿，不是我们嗜杀，而是有些人自寻死路。我们五行世家，谁也不是滥杀无辜之人，正如五行地宫，若你心无恶念，见五行地宫恢宏，心生敬畏，早早退去，又怎么会丧命？火小邪借用已经废掉的锁龙铸世宫阻拦日本人，就算日本人因此伤亡殆尽，也是锁龙铸世宫的本意，怎么会有失贼道体统？水媚儿姐姐，你刚才说话是有些执拗了。” 水媚儿阴沉的笑了笑，说道：“哎呀，大家当我没说过，想怎么办就办好了。呵呵呵呵，林婉妹妹讲道理时也这么体贴温柔啊，怪不得火小邪对你一往情深。” 火小邪唰的耳根一烫，如同被水媚儿道破了心思，尴尬说道：“水媚儿，你别瞎说。林婉，对不住啊，我没有……” 林婉相反温柔一笑，向火小邪看来，柔声说道：“没关系的。” 水媚儿嗤笑一声，说道：“一切听你们的吧，我就不说话了。” 水媚儿走开一边，一副无所谓的表情，也猜不透她想些什么。 潘子本想和水媚儿说上两句，眼神刚递过去，就被林婉一句话拦住：“潘子，你不是进过安河镇的锁龙铸吗？有这样一条通道吗？” 潘子放眼一看，回忆一番，说道：“有！有！这叫喇叭口，走进小门里，就是锁龙铸的核心机关部分。这样吧，我给大家带路！大家跟我来！”
