The middle-aged man was stunned, thinking back to everything he had just experienced, and the look on his face suddenly became cautious.

It's only been a short time since they got out of the Shadow Cellar, and they're so embarrassed. And the information has already been told, and the deeper it is here, the more difficult it is.

If there is no such place to rest and rest......

Thinking of that situation, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"This is the ancestral court of Zhengyi, and it is an important place related to the four dynasties." Long Tiansheng's voice faintly came into his ears: "You can even trace back to ancient times, don't treat this place as an ordinary dangerous place to explore." ”

"The Ancient Age of China...... It was a time when people and gods were mixed in legends. ”

The middle-aged man's face became more serious, and he bowed to Long Tiansheng: "Hey! Thanks for the old mention, I see! ”

Long Tiansheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a slight bow: "It's good to understand, now this is just the first turn of the Nine Palaces Gossip, although we are very well prepared, but whether we can survive safely is still unknown." ”

"Go and get some rest."

Driving the middle-aged away, Long Tiansheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he recalled the information he had obtained, as well as Jiang Xian and his party.

"The surname Jiang is not so easy to die, they don't have to think about being intercepted, and their preparations will be more adequate. The only advantage I have now is that I get here first, and I have access to the mechanism in front of me. If you calculate well......"

He stroked his beard, using these organs and information to stop them was not the goal, the really important thing was the white lotus lamp!

There are many important areas in the shadow cellar, and the white lotus lamp can be said to be a must.

If there is no white lotus lamp, it can be said that there is no life.

"Let the old man, see what you are capable of now!"

………………

Several people sat on the ground, drinking water and eating energy bars.

The desperate work of that section of the road just now made most of them a little out of strength, and their slightly sore muscles urgently needed to relax.

What's more, at this time, the Broken Dragon Stone has not risen again, and they can't get out of here.

Jiang Xian took a step and looked in this stone room. This stone room is large, hundreds of square meters, but the layout is very simple. Some rotten thatch in the corner visited casually, and stone tables were scattered everywhere.

A few dim oil lamps were lit, and a faint light illuminated the surroundings, revealing a faint light in this netherworld-like area.

The flashlight shone around, and although there was a lot of moss on the walls, there were cracks from the years, but there were no murals or extra nicks.

Jiang Xian was not disappointed, he walked along the wall, carefully looking at the traces everywhere, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ruoxue walked up and brushed her hair: "What did you find?" ”

"It's very clean here." Jiang Xian looked at her, and then pointed to the gravel and some dust on the ground: "I'm not talking about clean in the usual sense, but that there are no traces of a fight here." There were no large traces of blood, and there were notches on weapons such as swords. ”

Well?

Lin Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, and the flashlight shone around, and after careful observation, she found that it was indeed as Jiang Xian said, but ......

"What's going on?"

"From the White Lotus Sect hall where we just came, to the road here, there are many traces of battle." Jiang Xian was not in a hurry, and his eyes kept looking around: "Longhu Mountain is a place to suppress demons, and everything is to ban the below. ”

"The more you go down, the more dangerous it is."

"It's the middle, the room is big, there's a lot of space, but there's no trace of a fierce battle at all......"

Lin Ruoxue looked stunned, and a look of thought appeared in her eyes: "That's right...... The battle marks on the outside are obvious, and there are sword marks, indicating that it is not caused by problems in the organs over the years. Then there should be more traces of battle here, at least not much different from the previous hall. ”

She looked everywhere the flashlight was shining, this situation was not normal!

How did the battle get past here?

"Because this is one of the core points."

A voice came from behind, and Chen Shiyun, who stood up, patted the dust on his body, looked at the two of them and said, "Mr. Jiang, you should remember the overall layout here, right?" ”

"Nine palace gossip?" Jiang Xian's expression moved slightly.

"That's right, it's the Nine Palaces Gossip." Chen Shiyun nodded, brushed the dust and drew on the ground: "The layout here is the foundation set by the ancestor thousands of years ago, even if later people modify it, they must use it as the foundation." ”

"Some of the core characteristics of the Nine Palaces Gossip will naturally appear here."

"Nine palaces turn nine times, gossip determines all directions."

Chen Shiyun groaned, and a compass appeared in his hand at some point, and Fuchen pointed to the drawn image and said: "You see, after the path we just walked through, and after the fork in the road intersects, this is a very important node. ”

"Connecting the road in all directions can be said to be an important part of the nine palaces and nine turns."

"With this arrangement, all the mechanisms in this first turn will be linked here, and in the same way, there will be pathways leading to the rest of the rotation points."

Jiang Xian looked at the pattern on the ground, nodded thoughtfully, and then turned his head to look at the surrounding walls: "You mean...... In addition to the gate blocked by the Broken Dragon Stone, are there other roads here? ”

Chen Shiyun nodded: "The core of the Nine Palaces and Nine Turns is important here, the transfer of the road and the core of the mechanism, these are combined, compared to fighting here, it is more effective to use the terrain to occupy the advantage." ”

"No, it's not just ......"

Jiang Xian shook his head and muttered, "If it's just like this, the traces of the battle here are very faint, but it can't be at all. ”

Chen Shiyun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently, it is true, this can be seen from the pursuit of the corpse worm just now.

"So, there should be other arrangements here, arrangements that can drive away these monsters."

But where is the arrangement?

Jiang Xian inspected for a week and found nothing. The simple layout of the house means that there are very few places where you can hide things, and this room can be said to be the same as the view, and the only place that can really hide things is ......

Wall!

His eyes fell on the wall, his fingers tapped lightly, Lin Ruoxue's ears on the side moved slightly, and he shook his head after a while: "The wall is a tightly knit inlay, and the only way to break this is to blast it." ”

Jiang Xian extinguished this thought, turned on his mobile phone, showed all the map photos, adjusted them to his current location, and said to Chen Shiyun: "Since it is the gossip of the Nine Palaces, you also recognize the first turn, so can you find the road that connects here to the follow-up?" ”

"I'll give it a try." Chen Shiyun shook the dust gently, and the thumb of his left hand moved the compass to make it rotate continuously. His eyes flickered, moving back and forth between the pattern below and the map of his phone, and from time to time he looked at the rows of tables and chairs around him.

After a while, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took a step to the stone tables and chairs, and stretched out his hand to turn and press one mechanism after another.

As he continued to move, the tables and chairs around him kept changing, and an image gradually appeared in the stone room. That's a hexagram -

Leave the hexagram, leave the fire!

As he finished his last blow, a tremor suddenly emerged from the stone chamber. Tables, chairs, walls, floors...... Everything in the stone chamber trembled, and the next moment, under the two walls at the corner, a floor tile slowly moved, revealing a pitch-black hole three meters square.

"It's the farthest road you can get." Chen Shiyun exhaled, and a trace of smugness flashed on his face: "The position we are standing in now is the position of leaving the palace, fueling arrogance with the momentum of leaving the fire, taking the light continuously, and shining in all directions." ”

"It's a hexagram."

Jiang Xian didn't care about this, he turned his head to look at the people who were ready to go: "Everyone is resting?" In that case, let's go. ”

As he spoke, he stepped into the staircase of the hole and headed down.

The passage was dark, there were no candles or lights, only flashlights shining around.

The road is a stone staircase, winding downward, shining down with a flashlight, and you can only see bottomless ravines on both sides. The shoes landed on the stone slab with a crisp sound, and there was even an echo.

"The valley?" He raised an eyebrow and moved on.

The light of several flashlights lit up the passageway, bringing a bit of light to the dark area.

The seven of them stood in formation, carefully patrolling the surroundings.

The stone staircase is very wide, twenty or thirty meters long, and on each side of the stone staircase is a very tall rock wall. The rock wall is 90 degrees, but it is not smooth, there are a lot of weeds and debris growing on it, there is no sunlight, these plants lack a layer of luster, and look a little wilted.

At the bottom of the canyon, a flashlight shone through, and a thin layer of clouds and mist drifted haphazardly, even obscuring some stone stairs.

Soon, Jiang Xian walked to the stone staircase shrouded in mist, and as soon as he stepped into it, his whole body tightened suddenly, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Lin Ruoxue behind him followed in, her expression changed suddenly, and the two short blades appeared directly in her hands.

Then Lu Tianyuan and Xue Rong walked into the clouds and mist one after another, their bodies that had been preparing for battle were extremely tense, and their eyes were full of solemnity.

In the end, the face of the person who came in changed dramatically: "How can there be so many corpses?" ”

Yes, corpses.

The faint cloud of stone stairs was already covered with corpses, every step, every piece of masonry. They were lying on their stomachs or lying down, and the dense crowd had blocked the way forward.

These bodies are all intact, or wearing decayed Kuomintang military uniforms, or headscarves with the emblem of the White Lotus Sect, or wearing Qing Dynasty military uniforms, and the half-rotten military characters are extremely conspicuous.

Although the identities of the corpses are different, they all have one common feature -

They laugh.

Every corpse, every face, was covered with smiles.

It wasn't the twisted grit of a corpse worm, but an expression that was not much different from a normal person's laughter.

It's like death, which makes them extremely happy.
