The three of us were all startled. We took a few steps back and looked at the slowly rotating animal head.
The black iron beast's head only turned half a circle before stopping, and a keyhole was exposed on the back of the iron beast's head - it turns out that we couldn't find the keyhole, but it was actually on the back of the beast's head.
Tao Siyu opened the secret lock in a few clicks: "I'm about to open the door, so be careful."
After Ye Xun and I took two steps out at the same time, the door of the secret room opened. The dust accumulated on the door pages fell like water. Smoke and dust billowed out in the secret room. Ye Xun and I had to step back again and again in order to keep our sight. Before the two of us could even stand firm, I saw a figure at least three meters tall emerging from behind the flying smoke.
Although I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, judging from his figure, he was almost twice as wide as an ordinary person. Even today's top basketball players cannot be so tall and burly. Not to mention the ancients who were generally thin
The first thing I thought of was the demon servant.
When I raised my gun and aimed at the other person's face across the sky full of ashes, Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "He is dead."
Although I believed Ye Xun's judgment, I still didn't dare to take it lightly. I still pointed the pistol at the opponent's vital points. It wasn't until the smoke and dust cleared before my eyes that I could see the opponent's whole face clearly.
Yellow turban warrior
That giant man wearing heavy armor and wearing a yellow turban on his head, the first word that comes to my mind is "yellow turban warrior".
The Yellow Turban Lishi is a low-level immortal official in Taoist legend, who protects the law and subdues demons. He has infinite power and obeys the orders of high-level divine generals. Legend has it that during the Zhangjiao Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the soldiers were ordered to wear yellow turbans on their heads, which is the image of the Yellow Turban Warriors.
I raised my pistol and cautiously approached the Yellow Turban Warrior. I didn't stop until I realized that the other party made no sound. "The Yellow Turban Warrior is the power source of the machine city? Isn't that the same as the Demon Servant?"
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "No, the Yellow Turban Warriors come from Taoist legends, how could they be used by the Mohists as a mechanism power?"
Ye Xun paused for a moment and then said: "Since the Mo family has the ability to create Yellow Turban Warriors, what do they need the agency for?"
Ye Xun's words really hit the mark. The legendary Yellow Turban Warriors were invulnerable and powerful. In the era of cold weapons, three or five Yellow Turban Warriors were enough to turn the tide of the battle, and those cumbersome mechanisms seemed dispensable.
To put it bluntly, even if the mechanism technique is better than that of the Yellow Turban Warriors, as Mohists and Gongshu, who are famous for their mechanism technique in the world, it is impossible for them to pin the core secret of mechanism technique on Taoism.
I couldn't help but look at the yellow turban warrior in front of me again. Although this yellow turban warrior was silent, his muscles and bones seemed to contain infinite power, which could explode at any time.
What's even more strange is that the yellow scarf warrior's hands are always clenched into fists. Although there is a mechanism lever at hand, the wooden pole is covered with dust, and it doesn't look like it has just been shaken - the center of the mechanism is definitely not here.
When my eyes accidentally glanced at the back of the Yellow Turban Warrior's head, I was suddenly startled - there was something like a hairpin stuck on the back of the Yellow Turban Warrior's head. The hairpin penetrated deep into the Yellow Turban Warrior's skull, leaving only a piece of hairpin. The bulbous handle is placed outside.
I quickly called to Tao Siyu and said, "Tao Siyu, come here and take a look. What is this?"
"Key!" After Tao Siyu said just two words, I was stunned by the so-called key - the ball at the end of the key was exactly the same as the fox bell on my body. The only difference was that the fox bell Behind the back is a gold chain, but the front part of the key is connected to an iron spike.
Ye Xun looked at my face at the same time. I hesitated for a moment and took out the fox bell and shook it gently twice. Unexpectedly, the bell on the back of the Yellow Turban Warrior's head vibrated. The Yellow Turban's eyes suddenly opened and shot to the sky. Murderous aura surged out from his eyes.
The three of us took a step back in unison. The yellow scarf warrior's clenched fists slowly opened, and the two iron pipes fell to the ground. The yellow scarf warrior who was still glaring just now slowly closed his eyes again. eyes.
I was about to get close to the other party to see what was going on, but Tao Siyu took off a flying claw that was only as long as a finger from his body, grabbed two iron pipes on the ground, and pulled out the secret document inside: "Wang Huan, look."
I just glanced at it and said with a livid face: "We have been fooled."
"On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, people from later generations came here in my name." Tao Siyu thought about me before gritting his teeth and said: "Is this the real letter left by Zhuge?"
"Yes! The last time Zhuge Liushu read 'Demon Demon Killer', I should have thought that it was a fake that was deliberately made old."
I gritted my teeth and said, "I made a mistake in my thinking. The four words 'kill demons and eliminate demons' have been used for thousands of years and have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, none of us have ever thought about 'killing demons'." When did the word "slayer" come from?"
"The word magic originates from Sanskrit and comes from Buddhist classics. Buddhism was introduced to our country from the late Western Han Dynasty to the early Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, it was only concentrated in Xinjiang and the Hexi Corridor of Gansu. It was not until the Three Kingdoms period that eminent monks visited Luoyang, the capital of Wei, and Wu Du Jianye spread the Dharma but did not go deep into Shu. How could Zhuge Liang say the words "slaying demons and slaying demons"? "
I said solemnly: "We were fooled from the beginning."
Tao Siyu whispered: "But the whole thing seems reasonable!"
I shook my head and said, "We were fooled just because it was reasonable. It is true that Zhuge Liang fought with Gongshu Chuanren, and it may also be true that he trapped Qin Siyue in Huangling Mountain, but that Qin Siyue is false."
Tao Siyu's expression changed slightly and he said, "You mean, this is all a scam?"
"Yes, the people who made the layout must also come from a certain sect of gods. Not only do they know the secrets of the former Qin and the Three Kingdoms very well, but they also discovered the secret realms of various agencies long before us, and have even figured out the secrets in the secret realms. Otherwise, their layout would not be so reasonable.”
Tao Siyu murmured to himself: "What a powerful guy, who has planned such a big picture? The people of Wugui Sect are never willing to cooperate sincerely, and we definitely can't do it..."
"Si Ruo!" My face suddenly darkened: "That was Si Ruobu's trap."
Everything seemed to be explained in my mind. No wonder Si Ruohui's men and horses came so promptly; no wonder Si Ruo said she could help me solve everything; no wonder Meng Tiandong recognized the demon servant at a glance. It turns out that all this was planned deliberately by Si Ruozai. Her target was not the prison city, but the torture palace of the Detective Hand.
She was planning to use the organ city to wipe out the Palace of Punishment in one fell swoop and seriously injure the Detective Hand's vitality. She must have a reason to do this, so that all the execution hall can be dispatched into the organ city.
Zhuge Liang left a letter, the machine city was opened, and the young master of the Demon Sect went deep into the dangerous place alone, which was enough for the execution hall to place countless bets on a huge gamble.
We just accidentally broke into the battle between the Demon Sect and the Palace of Punishment, and had no choice but to become pawns in their hands.
It's ridiculous, I've been worried about Si Ruo, and even like a fool, I risked my life and rushed back to the machine city.
A kind of anger at being fooled rose up in my heart, and my two fists made a snapping sound. Ye Xun said softly: "Don't jump to conclusions yet, maybe..."
"Nothing is certain!" I roared uncontrollably: "Where has Meng Tiandong gone? Will Meng Tiandong, who is loyal to the Demon Sect, abandon the young master at this time? And that old man Yao, because he discovered Qin Siyue's secret died in the hands of the other party. What secret did he discover? It's not that Qin Siyue came from the magic sect. "
I yelled angrily: "Si Ruo, did you fool me again? Helping me save the Snow Demon Fox, and going into danger alone are all fucking bullshit. She was just perfecting her own plan. Without her, that time Why would the Palace of Punishments be dispatched in large numbers when someone is said to be in danger alone?"
Ye Xun stopped when he saw that I was a little out of control. He lit a cigarette and smoked the fireworks, then handed it to me: "Calm down first."
Tao Siyu said: "Wang Huan, what are you going to do? If you want to quit now, I can find a way to arrange for you to be smuggled abroad."
Tao Siyu felt that my only concern had become a scam, and there was no reason for him to drag me into adventure in the city, so he did not force me to follow him all the way.
I took two strong puffs of smoke and said: "At this point, we can't retreat even if we want to. There are still many torture palaces outside and An Ran inside. I can't just withdraw like this."
I turned my head and looked deep into the city: "Since Si Ruo wants to fall into the torture palace, I will help him and settle old scores with her on the way."
I opened the second note left by Zhuge Liang. The meaning of it was roughly: The pair of fox bells in my hand were originally rare treasures. Zhuge Liang let the fox bells spread in the world in order to prepare for today. The sixteen yellow scarf warriors his master left behind in the city can all be controlled with fox bells. These yellow scarf warriors are the key he left to me to turn defeat into victory.
However, Zhuge Liang wrote on the back of the letter: The secret technique of the mechanism must not be revealed, otherwise it will inevitably cause huge disasters.
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "What does catastrophic disaster mean?"
"I don't know." I shook my head and said, "It doesn't matter to us whether the secret technique of the mechanism is revealed. What's important is that we have to move forward."
I tried shaking the fox bell a few times, and the yellow scarf warrior opened his eyes again, slowly got up and walked forward.
Tao Siyu stared at the Yellow Turban Warrior in stunned silence and said, "Where are we going now?"
I raised the secret message in my hand: "Follow the instructions above and go to the third city. That's where Zhuge Liang's real killing move is. I want to leave everyone there."
When I said that sentence, I saw that Ye Xun seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back when he reached his lips. He just followed me without saying a word and walked towards the depths of the machine city.
This may be another fateful encounter between me and Si Ruo, and we can't escape it.
