The crowd hung a long string on the chain and slowly descended to the bottom of the cave. This big hole is extremely deep, but fortunately it is not as dark as the bottomless abyss that I walked through before, and I can see the surrounding situation vaguely by relying on the light of the fire fold. Although the hearts of the people are very nervous, they are not as afraid as they are on the bottomless abyss.

Li Qiufeng walked at the end, looking at his feet from time to time. I saw that a few lights below were bright and uncertain, and someone had already lit the fire fold, and was walking down with the iron chain while holding the fire fold and looking around. Li Qiufeng walked down more than ten zhang, took out the fire fold from his arms with his left hand and shook it, grabbed the iron chain with only his right hand, and slowly walked down alternately on the cave wall with his feet. As he walked, he carefully looked at the cave wall by the light of the fire fold in his hand, but saw that the cave wall that everyone had stepped on was different from the other place, and there were many abrasion marks on it, which were thought to be caused by the friction of iron chains. Judging from these abrasion marks, they are by no means possible in a short period of time. Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "The wall of this cave has been ground by iron chains and has made several deep traces, thinking that people often crawled up and down here in the past. Situ Qiao said that this was a fake temple that Yao Guangxiao used to confuse Emperor Chengzu's eyeliner, but why did he have to spend all his energy to dig such a big hole in the wing?"

When he thought of this, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but stop, carefully looked at the grinding marks of the iron chain, and then held the fire fold to observe the cave wall next to him, and then nodded, and thought to himself: "It turns out that this cave was not dug by manpower. Rather, there is such a cave as a whole. After Yao Guangxiao discovered this cave, he built a wing room at the entrance of the cave and built this fake meditation temple according to the topography. Originally, he thought that he built this fake meditation temple to cover up the real meditation temple above, but now it seems that Yao Guangxiao's purpose is more than that. There are more important things hidden under this fake meditation temple, and Yao Guangxiao doesn't know where to get a giant snake to guard here. It's just that snakes can only live for twenty or thirty years at most, Yao Guangxiao has been dead for nearly a hundred years, and the giant snake in the cave has also died. ”

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng's heart was a little more relaxed. He continued to walk slowly downward, only to feel that the further down he went, the more chill grew around him. Later, I had to use my internal strength to resist the cold. And I don't know when it started, but there was a dull "boom" sound in my ears. The sound was not continuous, but slightly intermittent, like the sound of water dropping on a stone.

Li Qiufeng stared and listened carefully, and the roaring sound seemed to come from under his feet. He thought to himself that perhaps the cave was too deep, and everyone stepped on the walls of the cave and made footsteps as they walked. The footsteps echoed in the empty hole, and there was an echo in the ears.

He walked towards the bottom of the cave while thinking, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Situ Qiao's voice below: "Everyone, stop first, the chain is over!"

Everyone's hearts sank, and everyone thought, "Oh no! I can't imagine that in this place where there is no heaven and no earth, the iron chain is actually broken, how can this be good?"

Murong Danyan was at the feet of Li Qiufeng at this time. She raised her head and said to Li Qiufeng, "Brother Li, are you almost at the bottom of the cave?"

The cold here is very strong, and when Murong Danyan spoke, his voice was already trembling slightly, thinking that his clothes were thin, although he relied on his internal strength to keep out the cold, he was also a little unbearable. Li Qiufeng said: "Although we have walked down fifty or sixty zhang, if we look at the height, it is still not as deep as the pool we fell into before." I guess I have to go to the bottom of the cave, but I'm afraid I have to walk some distance. ”

When the two of them were talking, they only heard Situ Qiao say loudly: "There is a hole in the cave wall! I'll go first and take a look, everyone wait a while!"

When everyone heard Situ Qiao say that there was a hole in the cave wall, they were all happy in their hearts. Thinking that the iron chain ends here, then whoever goes up and down in this cave with the iron chain must enter this cave. Maybe it's a secret passage that leads beyond the mountain.

It's just that after Situ Qiao finished speaking, there was no sound below. Everyone held iron chains in their hands and hung beside the cave wall, only to feel that the cold around them was bone-chilling, and it became more and more unbearable. They had to use their own internal forces to resist the invasion of cold air. Although Zhu Sanjia doesn't understand internal skills, fortunately, he has strong skin and thick flesh, but he can stand it.

After half a pillar of incense, I only heard Situ Qiao say loudly: "Come in, let you take a look at the rare things!"

When going down the cave, Liu Yong followed closely behind Situ Qiao. At this time, Situ Qiao's voice came from under his feet, and Liu Yong's right hand holding the chain relaxed slightly, and his body slid down. It was more than a foot down, but I saw a square hole more than one person high appear on the wall of the cave. Situ Qiao was holding a torch in his left hand and was waving at him.

Liu Yong was surprised, and he didn't know where Liu Yong had found a torch. Before he could speak, Situ Qiao had already preemptively said: "The chain has come to an end, Mr. Liu be careful." ”

The iron chain that Liu Yong was holding in his hand had actually been broken, and the end was level with the center of the hole on the cave wall. It was pitch black under my feet, and I didn't know how deep it would be to reach the bottom of the cave.

Liu Yong jumped lightly and jumped into the cave. Before he could gain a firm footing, he turned his head and shouted into the air, "Be careful, the iron chain is the end of this hole." The Taoist must hold on to it so that he does not fall down!"

As soon as his voice fell, the figure of the Qingfeng Dao man had already appeared outside the cave. He saw Liu Yong and Situ Qiao standing at the entrance of the cave, holding the chain with his right hand, and his body immediately stopped. Liu Yong and Situ Qiao took a step back and gave way to the entrance of the cave for a clearing. As soon as the Qingfeng Dao body shook, he jumped into the cave.

Then Chu Danyang, Lin Yilang, Deng Yao and others jumped into the cave one after another, only to hear Situ Qiao laugh and say: "Everyone, haven't you always wanted to see what the center of the agency news looks like, and it will open your eyes in a while!"

Everyone followed Situ Bridge to the cave. After walking for more than ten zhang, the eyes suddenly became open, and there was a huge space. It's just that although everyone is holding a fire fold in their hands, the light is too dim, and they can't see what is going on in the cave for a while.

Situ Qiao turned around and said to everyone: "There are a lot of torches on the walls around this stone room, let's light the torches first, and the discipline everyone will be surprised!"

The crowd searched the surrounding walls with fire folds, and sure enough, there was a torch inserted in the stone wall every few steps. The people lit the torches with the fire folds in their hands, and after a few moments, the stone chamber was as bright as day.

Only then did everyone realize that this stone chamber was surprisingly large, and the ground was three or four feet high from the top of the cave. Not far from the entrance to the stone chamber, there were five or six huge wooden wheels. And behind the wooden wheels, there are more large and small wooden wheels. The edges of these wheels are toothed, and the individual wheels are fitted together and fit together. Most of the wooden wheels were motionless, but two large wooden wheels and a dozen small wooden wheels were slowly rotating, making a "boom" sound.

Only then did Li Qiufeng know that the strange sound he had just heard came from these huge wooden wheels, but he didn't know what these things were used for. Situ Qiao pointed to these large and small wooden wheels and said, "This is the center of all the mechanisms in this cave. The mechanism message can be driven by the rotation of these wooden wheels. And underneath these wooden wheels is the underground river that we have never seen. Yao Guangxiao, a bastard, built this fake meditation temple, not only to confuse Zhu Di's eyeliner, but also to hide the center of the mechanism in an underground cave. The real is virtual, the virtual is real, this bastard is meticulous in his thoughts, and his intentions are vicious, he can really be said to be unparalleled in the world!"

Chu Danyang said: "If we destroy these wooden wheels, will all the mechanisms in this cave be abolished, and we can walk out with a swagger?"

Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "Don't destroy the center of the organ! If the center is destroyed, the boulder in the cave where Qunhao is located will not be able to rise and fall, and Qunhao will never be able to get out again." With me here, no matter how powerful the mechanism is, it won't hurt you!"

Everyone saw that Situ Qiao's eyebrows were fluttering, and he was guilty of arrogance, but they didn't want to argue with him. It's just that when Situ Qiao said that this is the center of the agency, not a secret way to escape from the cave, everyone is disappointed.

Situ Qiao was elated, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. Later, he danced and laughed wildly: "Yao Guangxiao's lifelong learning is all in these large and small wooden wheels. I have seen all the mysteries, and there is no one in the world who is above me. Haha, haha, even if Yao Guangxiao comes back from the dead, I can also trap him with the Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation!"

Liu Yong was anxious in his heart, and said loudly: "Mr. Situ, since there is no secret passage here, we have to find another way to escape, what do you think?"

Situ Qiao smiled: "It's not a difficult thing. Isn't the cave leading to the cave at the bottom of the mountain in the False Meditation Temple already closed? but the center of the mechanism is here, and I can find the wooden wheel that controls the mechanism, and turn it upside down to reopen the passage at the head of the stone arch bridge. At that time, we will be able to return to the cave at the bottom of the mountain, meet up with the heroes, and make plans again!"

Only then did everyone have some hope in their hearts, their morale was reinvigorated, and after resting for a while, they followed Situ Qiao to find the wooden wheel that controlled the stone cave that Zhu Sanjia had entered the False Meditation Temple many times in the past few decades. Situ Qiao looked arrogant, carrying his hands between the wooden wheels and retreating, but very chic. But in this way it makes the people miserable, and one moment they follow him forward, the other they retreat, sometimes they go to the left, and the other time they turn to the right. After looking for a pillar of incense, Situ Qiao was still spinning between large and small wooden wheels, and did not specify which wooden wheel controlled the stone cave. Although the hearts of the people were impatient, they also knew that the hope of escape was all in this person, and they held back the anger in their breasts and followed him through the wooden wheels.

At this moment, Li Qiufeng suddenly smelled a trace of fishy smell. His heart sank, and he was about to speak. But he heard Murong Danyan exclaim, pointing to the right side of the stone room and shouting, "That, what is that?!"

I saw that two fist-sized red dots of light suddenly appeared behind a wooden wheel, and they were slowly rising towards the top of the stone chamber. After a while, everyone realized that the two red dots were actually the eyes of a strange snake. I saw a huge snake head completely stretched out from behind the wooden wheel, and the blood-red letter kept spitting out of its mouth, staring at everyone. The eyes of the two snakes were full of viciousness and evil, and they seemed to pounce at any time and swallow everyone in one gulp.
