Chapter 63 The Key
He Zheng leaned over and picked up a few pieces of gravel, put them between his fingers, raised his hand, and the stone shot towards the stone wall, hitting the wall and the ground, making a few "bang" sounds.
The fireworks on the torch shook, and suddenly the sound of breaking the wind came in the empty cave room.
"Bend!"
He Zheng shouted lightly, and He Lingjiang and Chi Kuo behind him immediately squatted down.
More than a dozen sharp arrows passed by their heads and almost passed by.
Organism!
He Lingjiang narrowed his eyes, and it seemed that there was something hidden here.
They slowed down and moved forward carefully and tentatively.
I don’t know where it was alarmed, but a rustling sound was heard, and dense black beetles surged out of the dark corners and crawled towards them from all directions.
He Lingjiang and his friends hurriedly retreated to one place, and the three of them stood against each other, looking at the insects vigilantly.
After arriving in Nanzhao, they really saw many insects.
Although this black beetle doesn't know what it is, since it can live in the same room with the giant python, it is not easy to meet.
The pointed teeth and thick shells all show that they are difficult to deal with.
He Ling and Jiang Anqing prepared enough talismans. She moved her hand and threw out two talismans from her sleeve.
The talisman encountered the black beetle and ignited, sweeping across the beetle group with a prairie fire.
Wherever the dark flames passed, there was only a crackling sound of burning and bursting.
However, the beetle was fearless and continued to crawl towards the three people surrounding them.
Chi Kuo's hand moved slightly, and with the three people standing as the center, he drew a fire circle on the ground to isolate the beetles outside.
The beetles rushing into the fire ring made another charred sound.
But this beetle comes from all directions, not just stopping her feet.
He Lingjiang looked up and saw that the stone wall above his head was covered with layers of beetles, and he was about to fall towards them.
She immediately put her back behind her with her left hand, pulled out a large umbrella and spread it open, and threw out two talisman seals on the surface of the umbrella with her right hand.
The big umbrella swayed slightly, and circled around the three of them, and put them tightly under the umbrella.
He Lingjiang held the handle of the umbrella and swung his sleeves, waving the overlapping beetle corpses in front of him.
"Continue to move forward!"
"I'm blocking the above, and Qing has made his debut. Chikuo, you are responsible for the beetles coming from the side. He Zheng, please help Chikuo."
Chi Kuo nodded with He Zheng: "Okay!"
The three of them moved forward slowly in a position of confrontation.
The black beetles were extremely numerous, and even if they attacked each other with fire, they could not burn them all in one go.
Fortunately, the beetle's range of movement seemed to be limited. After they walked out about seven or eight feet away and crossed a stone stair in the cave, all the black beetles stopped moving forward.
He Lingjiang was surprised. It seemed that there was a ban on the beetles here, and their range of movement was only for that distance.
But even this part is enough to scare away countless people who want to enter the cave and take their lives.
After walking along the stone steps for a while, there was a bare stone wall in front of me. It seemed that the cave room here had reached its end.
He Lingjiang frowned and stepped forward to look at the stone wall.
If you carefully carve a cave, it wouldn't be to raise a giant python or beetle, right?
Will there be another world behind the stone wall?
Sure enough, after a careful search, the three of them found a stone door that almost blended with the surrounding stone walls.
Chi Kuo stepped forward and pushed the stone door, but the stone door didn't move at all.
"As far as the book says, there must be a mechanism here that can open the stone door."
He stood up straight and walked around the stone gate to see if there was any place that could be pressed up and opened the stone gate.
However, before he could lie down and look carefully, he heard the "click" sound, and the thick stone door swayed slightly.
The stone gate seems to be open!
Chi Kuo was stunned and looked at He Lingjiang: "Where did you find the mechanism? Why is it so fast..."
He Lingjiang looked at the copper talisman in his hand and said lightly: "I don't know if there is any mechanism. But the one in my hand seems to be the key to open the stone door..."
When Chi Kuo approached her, she saw the copper talisman in her hand in the shape of a carp. The head of the fish is now being held in the palm of He Lingjiang. As for the tail of the fish, it is trapped in a groove on the stone door.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, pointed to the bronze talisman and said, "This is actually a key?"
He Lingjiang shrugged: "I didn't expect it..."
When she looked at the stone gate just now, she saw that it was as uneven as the surrounding stone walls, but there was a dent in the middle, which seemed to have some traces of artificial carving.
When I looked closer, I saw that the groove in it looked a bit like a fish tail.
The shape of the copper talisman in her arms suddenly appeared in her mind.
He Lingjiang took it out and tried it, but unexpectedly it could get stuck in the groove. She swung her hand slightly and the stone door made a sound.
"Open it quickly!" Chi Kuo couldn't help but urge.
He Lingjiang nodded, and his subordinates rotated the copper talisman hard again. The stone gate moved slightly, and the dust on the top of the stone wall cave was shaken down.
She was sure in her heart and rotated the copper talisman to the bottom, and the stone gate made a "click" sound.
He Lingjiang immediately drew out the fish talisman.
Immediately afterwards, the thick stone door slowly shrank upwards, revealing a gap on the ground!
Opened!
Chi Ku's eyes lit up.
He looked down at the bottom of the stone door and found that it should have been firmly stuck in the underground stones.
If it weren't for that key, relying solely on brute force, no one would be able to open this stone door that was a foot thick.
As the stone gate slowly rose, a gap that was accessible to people finally appeared.
The scepter was about to bend over immediately, but He Lingjiang stretched out his hand and pulled it.
He looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"
He Lingjiang sighed. The experience of this Huangfu ghost in the world is really not rich.
"Aren't you afraid that the stone gate will fall suddenly? By the way, with your and my strength, you may not be able to lift this stone gate that weighs more than a thousand pounds."
If there is a closed space inside, as long as the stone gate falls, they will be trapped inside.
Even if the Cangku is just a ghost of Huangfu, there is no way to go out.
Chi Kuo understood: "You are right."
He looked around and saw a large stone about one foot high and half a foot square standing quietly at the corner of the stone wall.
"Come and help me move this stone over and you can stop it to the stone gate."
He Zheng heard this and stepped forward and worked hard with him, leaning over and moving the big stone over.
Just as this was the case, his feet suddenly became soft and he stepped on something.
He Zheng looked down and saw that it turned out to be a snake shed!
The black patterns on it are fine, and you can tell at a glance that they are left by the giant python at the entrance of the cave.
Chapter completed!
