I originally thought that the mechanism would stop operating after the door was opened, but I didn't expect that the sound of the mechanism turning would be centered in the secret room and spread in all directions.
In just a moment, the sound of the machine's operation was pushed hundreds of meters underground, but there was still no sign of stopping.
Just when I felt confused, I heard another sound of the machine running, rolling towards us from the west of the underground palace.
My face suddenly changed: "Oh no! Come on, follow me and save Ye Xun and the others."
Xia Qingqing asked as she ran, "What's going on?"
I quickly said: "Our previous inferences were all wrong. The Fox Clan may have been defeated, but they have never been imprisoned. This is a trap deliberately left by the Fox Clan during their retreat."
"That secret room is the center of the mechanism. If we don't find any inheritance, the Fox Palace Underground Palace may just be an ordinary forbidden place. When we open the so-called inheritance, the Fox Palace becomes a death penalty. We are equivalent to giving ourselves to Sent to hell. Go!"
No wonder, when I was in the underground palace, there were a lot of things that I couldn't figure out what was going on. Just like the mermaid hidden in the stone wall, the kerosene left in the pipes, these things clearly show signs that the underground palace has been modified by others, but I have always felt that someone else occupied the underground palace after the Fox tribe, and they have never done anything about it. The identity of the person who occupied the underground palace in the later Qing Dynasty.
The more I can't figure it out, the more mysterious I feel, and the more I believe that the Fox Clan was forced to leave some legacy. In fact, it was just a conspiracy of the fox clan. They just wanted us to turn on the mechanism ourselves.
I was fooled, and Qin Baiyi was also fooled. The underground palace mechanism will not be opened in two directions at the same time.
As soon as I finished my conclusion, I heard another sound of the machine turning, suddenly coming from the south of the underground palace.
I suddenly stopped and looked south: "Who is this?"
Su Zimo's face also turned pale: "Isn't that the Detective Hand?"
Later I learned that Su Zimo was able to conclude that the person who broke into the south was not the Detective. It's because Qin Baiyi does everything by himself. One advantage of being her subordinate is that he doesn't have to use his brain too much and can just do everything as she says. But there is also a disadvantage, that is, never think of getting ahead, with Qin Baiyi showing off. Expand the abilities of others.
At that time, I didn't have any thoughts to think about this at all. I just wanted to find Ye Xun quickly.
When I returned to the cave where I entered the underground palace, the opening on the ceiling had disappeared without a trace. It was as if the passage had never appeared on the ceiling. Even my secret technique of ghost eyes could not find the passage. Traces of what once existed.
"Where is the entrance of the cave?" My face changed slightly.
Xia Qingqing said: "Is it possible that we are going in the wrong direction?"
"Looking for Tieqing's body?" My words may be regarded as a futility. The water level in the cave has dropped by 90%. The water left on the ground can only cover people's feet at most. It cannot be covered up at all. A corpse. I haven't seen Tieqing's body since I broke in.
I clearly knew that the hope of finding the body was very slim, but I still did not give up this last hope.
When I was sticking to the ground to search for traces of the corpse, Xia Qingqing suddenly exclaimed: "Huanzi, look over here."
When I looked in the direction of Xia Qingqing's finger, I couldn't help but be slightly startled. There were a few vague fingerprints left on the cave wall over there. It looked like someone wanted to get rid of the traces left by themselves. However, due to the rush of coming and going, the clues could not be completely erased. Instead, he left two fingerprints on the place where he left.
Is it iron love
Although I didn't see Tie Qing leave, I could imagine that the corpse whose heart had been clawed out by the monkey lay under the sewage and crawled to the wall step by step, got into the hole in the wall, and then dug into the hole in the wall. He had already stored soil and stones and pushed them to the entrance of the cave, covering up his escape route.
I pulled out my knife and dug twice at the water-soaked hole, only to find that the passage had been completely sealed. If I wanted to follow the path out of the cave, I had to dig all the way through.
Human power cannot do this.
I had suspected that Tieqing would "come back to life". Now it seems that my judgment at that time was not wrong. Tieqing not only came back to life, but also successfully escaped along the secret passage.
What I didn't know was that Tie Qing had returned to Ye Xun's hiding place since we left the cave and went deep into the underground palace.
After we left, Ye Xun had been sitting there trying to think back on what had happened before. Not only did he not want to forget me, he couldn't forget his own sect. That was Ye Xun's biggest secret. Even I didn't know it. secret.
Ye Xun only sat there for a while, and found that the confusion in Tao Yu's eyes was getting thicker and thicker, as if he didn't understand the environment he was in. Ye Xun was shocked and rushed to Tao Yu in a few steps: "What's wrong with you?" ? Who else do you think you are?"
"I am... I am Tao Yu? Is the Little Heavenly King of the Wugui Sect?" Tao Yu paused for a while before he remembered who he was. Ye Xun quickly asked: "Then who am I? Do you remember who I am?"
"You are... you are Ye Xun, my... my friend?" Tao Yu wrung his fingers tightly and said, "We also have a partner... what is his name?"
Ye Xun suddenly shouted sharply: "Who are you? Say it again?"
"I am... I am..." Tao Yu said "I am" twice in succession but could not say a word after that.
"You called..." Ye Xungang wanted to remind Tao Yu, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Bao Ruohan, like a child rummaging through things to play with, taking out the weapons in his backpack one by one and placing them on the table. On the ground, he was holding a grenade and looking at it on the left and right, and his free fingers also closed the ring of the grenade.
"Stop!" Ye Xun's original intention was to tell the other party to stop, but Bao Ruohan pulled the ring off in surprise.
The moment the grenade's safety shot out, Ye Xun snatched the grenade and threw it out of the cave. He turned over and threw Tao Yu to the ground. The fire caused by the grenade erupted from the cave. After passing by, Bao Ruohan seemed to be frightened. He got into a fork in the road with both hands and feet, and quickly climbed into the fork in the road while crying.
"Follow me!" Ye Xun pulled Tao Yu and chased Bao Ruohan, getting into the hole more than one meter high: "Bao Ruohan, stop... stop..."
It was a good thing that Ye Xun didn't chase him. When he chased him, Bao Ruohan crawled faster and disappeared from Ye Xun's sight in a few seconds.
Ye Xun wanted to pursue him further, but he heard Tao Yu muttering behind him: "Where is this place? Why am I here? Who am I..."
"Tao Yu!" Ye Xun quickly turned around to face Tao Yu and said: "Tao Yu, look at me, you are Tao Yu, I am Ye Xun. I am Ye Xun..."
"Ye Xun?" Tao Yu said blankly: "Where are we? We are..."
"Tao Yu, go back..." Ye Xun originally wanted Tao Yu to turn around and retreat to the cave from the original path. When he looked up, the opening of the cave behind Tao Yu had changed from one to two, forming a herringbone. The fork in the road.
Ye Xun couldn't even remember which road he followed Bao Ruohan into the cave. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Tao Yu looked at the confused Ye Xun and asked, "What's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"
Ye Xun said softly: "You move to the side and let's change positions."
Ye Xun slowly moved forward a few times, holding on to the wall with one hand, trying to make room for Tao Yu so that she could crawl behind him smoothly, but unexpectedly, Ye Xun pressed his hand on the wall. It collapsed under his palm.
Ye Xun's center of gravity was all on that wall, and now he suddenly lost his support. He fell into the wall uncontrollably, and rolled into the bottomless black cave as the wall collapsed.
Ye Xun lost consciousness when he fell into the hole. When he woke up, he had been tied into a tank filled with blood-red liquid, leaving only his head exposed, completely covered from the neck down. Lost consciousness.
At that moment, Ye Xun even suspected that his head had been chopped off and placed on the edge of the sink. Otherwise, why was there so much blood floating in the water tank? Why was there no feeling under his neck? Even if he had broken his neck, he should still be able to feel the hot and cold water, right
Ye Xun's eyes rolled a few times as hard as he could, and he saw the nearby scene from the corner of his eye.
The water tank where Ye Xun was sitting was placed on a high platform. There were four copper pipes on both sides of the water tank for drainage. The red water in the tank was slowly flowing to the pool under the high platform.
Ye Xun couldn't see the whole picture of the pool, so naturally he couldn't estimate the size of the pool. The only thing he could see was the bubbles constantly stirring in the water. There must be something alive under the dark red water.
Ye Xun was still struggling desperately, and a livid voice came from the distance: "Are you awake? As expected of the three-eyed bloodline, you can recover so quickly:"
As Tie Qing's voice gradually approached, his figure also slowly rose in Ye Xun's sight. He had obviously walked step by step from the high platform to the edge of the pool, otherwise, his figure would not have gradually risen. Ye Xun Xun narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"
"I don't know either! Just think of me as Tie Qing!" Tie Qing said lightly: "When you enter the secret realm of the Fox Clan, you no longer belong to yourself. You don't remember who you are, and you don't know whether you are dead or alive."
Tie Qing lowered his head to look at Ye Xun's face and said word by word: "It sounds strange, right? When you see what follows, it won't be strange at all."
Tieqing didn't wait for Ye Xun to speak, so she hugged Ye Xun's head with both hands and helped him turn his head: "Look below, be sure to look carefully. I hope you won't be too surprised after a while!"
