Chapter 729: Protection
"Every piece of slate here is a mechanism. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gu Mochen pointed to the five-sided stone slabs one by one and explained to Jian Chen:
"But each piece opens in a different position. ”
Jian Chen had already withdrawn the Qianfeng Silver Spear, holding Qianfeng's most primitive form, he forced out a trace of internal force, causing a flash of silver light to light up on the short stick, and it was used as a lighting object to shine on the surface of each stone slab.
I still can't see the clue, just like what I saw just now, the five stone slabs carved are five identical soaring dragons.
"The dragon's head, dragon body, twin dragon claws and dragon tail, and the five-sided stone slabs, are in this order to determine the order in which the mechanism is opened. ”
Gu Mochen smiled helplessly, took a few steps forward, bypassed the stone case in the middle of the pavilion, pointed to the third stone slab opposite the two of them, and said, "The downward passage you are looking for is controlled by this stone slab." ”
As he spoke, he slapped it lightly, and his palm was imprinted on the lifelike left dragon claw on the stone slab.
Click, click, click!
The sound of the heavy mechanism opening was different from the stone platform that Jian Chen opened, and it seemed extremely stagnant.
There was a tremor beneath his feet, as if the entire pavilion was trembling violently.
Jian Chen was caught off guard and had just stabilized his body, and suddenly his feet sank again.
The floor of the entire pavilion is gradually descending with the sound of the mechanism!
Gu Mochen withdrew his palm, shrugged at Jian Chen, and smiled helplessly: "How about it, I didn't lie to you this time, right?"
Before the words fell, the gazebo descended faster, sinking more than a distance of more than a person.
Jian Chen was about to respond to Gu Mochen, but his eyes suddenly froze, and in the direction he was slightly to the left, suddenly a stone wall was also descending, revealing a black hole.
Click!
The body also paused at this moment, and the sinking of the pavilion finally stopped, and then the stone wall also retracted into the ground at the same time, and the entrance to the cave was enough for one person to enter.
Gu Mochen walked over and said solemnly: "I know how to open the mechanism, but what is inside, whether the city lord is down there, I really don't know this." ”
Jian Chen nodded, didn't speak, took Qian Feng in his hand, and walked step by step towards the black hole where the occasional yin wind blew up.
"Hey!"
Gu Mochen said angrily: "You don't believe me?"
"Believe it. ”
Jian Chen had already walked to the entrance of the cave, and with a rush of internal force, Qian Feng was full of silver light, illuminating the darkness inside, revealing a staircase down in the cave, and answered casually.
"A little sincerity, okay?"
Gu Mochen rolled his eyes and quickly followed.
"You're going down too?"
Jian Chen glanced at him in surprise, kept moving, and stepped into the cave.
"Of course I'm going to go, or I'm going to die unjustly!"
Gu Mochen pursed his lips, followed closely behind Jian Chen, and said angrily: "I'll see someone below, whether it's the City Lord An or not, you go and ask him, but I caught him in?"
Jian Chen was silent, didn't say anything more, and walked down the passage with only stairs and damp moss walls on both sides.
Judging from the moss on this wall, the further down it should be, the wetter it becomes, and the passage should not be shallow, or at least it must be extended to the bottom of the pond.
Gu Mochen sighed, threw one hand behind his back, and a ball of energy flew out, hitting the left dragon claw of the third stone slab he had just photographed.
Only then did he chase a few steps closely, catching up with Jian Chen, who was about to throw him away.
There was another tremor, and the exposed hole was closed, and in the sense, the gazebo had slowly risen, and although it could not be seen, it was thought that the outside had returned to its original state.
Jian Chen didn't stop a step in the whole process, if Gu Mochen didn't do this, he would be strange, it was about to dawn, although the imperial garden was avoided, there would definitely be someone to clean and maintain it every day, if someone found an abnormality here, it would be very bad.
"Hey, do you really believe me?"
Walking in silence for a while, seeing that Jian Chen had no desire to speak again, Gu Mochen couldn't help but ask.
Jian Chen walked in front, paused slightly, and walked forward again, without answering him, but asked another question: "Who are you obeying?"
Gu Mochen was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I won't listen to anyone's orders!"
"Really?"
Jian Chen turned around and gave him a meaningful smile.
"Please continue your performance. ”
With that, he stepped down five more stairs.
This passage is very long, and the two of them walked silently, if it was a flat road, at least more than a mile, but this passage twisted and twisted, and became an irregular spiral, and it circled all the way, and it had already descended to the depths of the earth.
Gu Mochen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "Phew, who is performing!"
But with this sentence, Jian Chen didn't stop at all, seeing that his figure turned, he turned a corner again, and the silver light also became extremely faint with his departure, leaving only Gu Mochen alone in the dark.
Gu Mochen was angry, but he was helpless, so he had to chase after him again, and said angrily: "Don't you already know?"
When he turned that corner, he saw that Jian Chen was already about to turn another corner, still leaving him in the dark, and Shanshan shouted: "Yes, yes, you guessed right, I am doing things for that old man!"
This time, Jian Chen stopped, turned to look at him, and said, "Which old man?"
"Tang Xuanzong! The current emperor, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
Gu Mochen grabbed his hair depressedly and roared like a cannon.
"Also, you guessed it, the old man you saw when you first came to the Imperial Garden that day was him!"
"Are you satisfied?"
There were almost green tendons on his forehead, and Gu Mochen seemed to vent all the frustration of the day with this roar.
After he finished roaring, he was panting heavily, and when he said the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, his eyes were faintly blood-red.
Jian Chen frowned, Gu Mochen mentioned the scene when he first came to the Imperial Garden that day, although he had clearly told him that the old man surnamed Chu was Tang Xuanzong himself, but it was also revealed from another aspect that the day ...... He was there too!
Does that mean......
"Later, you came to us in the alley outside the Suzaku Gate, and it was also his order?"
Thinking of his inexplicable appearance that day, Jian Chen couldn't help asking.
"It's not. ”
Gu Mochen gasped for two breaths before replying: "Although he also wants me to do this, it is my own idea to bow to you, and if I want to find Aotian back, I must follow you to make it possible." ”
"And it turned out I was doing the right thing. ”
Jian Chen keenly caught the words in his words, and frowned: "You said that he also wanted you to do this, why?"
Gu Mochen hesitated a little and struggled for a moment before saying, "Because he wants me to follow you...... Protect you. ”
"Protect me?"
Jian Chen was stunned for a moment, and said with a complicated expression: "It's out of ...... How much does my uncle care about his nephew?"
"What did you say?!"
Gu Mochen's expression changed suddenly. (To be continued.) )
