Taihong is actually very powerful, really, it's just that the people he just met are too powerful. Think about it, how bad can the current Thai No. 1 black magic master be? It can only be said that there are too many masters in our country. However, Taihong's real strength is not just his black magic. It was mentioned in the article a long time ago. In fact, Taoism is one aspect, and experience is also very important. Taihong walked over and felt the breath of these soldiers, and then used two fingers to open their eyelids like a doctor. After observing for a while, Taihong turned around and said: "These people are all hit by Taoism, but the person who cast the spell must be very powerful to make so many people fall asleep at the same time. [e point]"
"A Taoist technique that makes people fall asleep? A dream technique?"
To say that there are three thousand Taoist arts is an understatement. Are there more than three thousand Chinese Taoist arts? There are countless various tricks. Just the major categories are spells, Taoist arts, and evil arts. There are memory spells that can help people cheat in exams, and dust removal spells that can remove dust. The same is true for Taoist arts and evil arts. The black magic is something that was spread from China to Thailand and Southeast Asia before it was developed. In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are more and more Taoist arts. Among them, there is a Taoist art called dream magic. However, this dream magic has no power at all. It was just used to make people fall asleep when they had insomnia in ancient times. Now it is at most a few sleeping pills.
I asked, "Dream magic doesn't have such power, right? If someone could knock down more than a dozen people with dream magic, that would be too scary."
After hearing what I said, Taihong shook his head and smiled, saying, "It should be that Mr. Meng above who did it. He wanted Miao Long and you to have a fair duel and didn't want anyone to disturb you two."
I smiled awkwardly at the time. I didn't know what the old man named Meng Lao was thinking. Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly felt a familiar feeling. This feeling was invisible and intangible, as if something was calling me. That thing was at the end of the passage. It should be the Emperor's Sword. [e point]
I came to my senses immediately. Now is not the time to chat or gossip. We are risking our lives. I took off my backpack, took out three 'Falling Banner Talismans' and two 'Nine Star Divine Talismans' and put them in my pocket. I also had the Jiang Chen Sword in my hand. I took a breath, and when I was ready, I said to Taihong and Anan: "Master Taihong, Anan, although we didn't have much friendship before, we are now friends in need. Be careful." I originally wanted to say something to encourage morale, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. There was no need for me to encourage morale in this situation. It was basically a matter of life and death with Miao Long and the others. If Taihong and Anan didn't want to die, they had to fight hard.
Taihong and Anan nodded upon hearing this. Master Taihong also took out a straw man in his hand, and Anan held a small dagger. Then the three of us walked forward carefully. The guards in this basement were really strict. There was a room on the right wall every twenty meters. It looked like a lounge and was quite large, about one hundred square meters. There were about ten people in each room, and there was such a room every fifty meters. The soldiers below were basically asleep.
When we walked through the tenth room, we finally reached the end. At the end was a big gate, five meters high and five meters wide. It was a big silver-white iron gate with a silver lock the size of a basketball in the middle. There were also two lifelike dragons engraved on the door, which looked like they would fly out at any time. I can guarantee that this is definitely not a modern product. Although there is no evidence, it is just a feeling, an intuition that this gate must be quite old.
Now that I'm closer, I can clearly feel the thing inside calling me. It feels really magical. Because I'm close to the door, I even feel like I can hear this thing talking to me. Is this the Sword of the Emperor
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a swordsmith named Yu Gong forged an Emperor's Sword to intimidate the four directions and bring peace to the people. The Zhou emperor was unable to use the sword, and it was obtained by Duke Huan of Qi, who was the first to dominate. He was later defeated by King Zhuang of Chu and committed suicide with the sword. After King Zhuang of Chu became the hegemon, he obtained the sword and also became a ghost under the sword. Duke Mu of Qin got the Emperor's Sword, but due to disputes over the royal regime, he had no choice but to commit suicide by the sword. The King of Wu was also fortunate enough to get the sword, but was defeated by King Gou Jian of Yue and his country was destroyed. Fu Chai had no choice but to die by the sword.
Judging from these rumors, the Emperor's Sword is not a good thing. Even Xiang Yu's suicide might be related to it. In my memory, I saw that Xiang Yu in my previous life started to have bad luck in wars after he got the Emperor's Sword. In the end, he even lost to a mediocre Liu Bang, who entered Xianyang first. In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide. He also used the Emperor's Sword when he committed suicide.
"Hey, Wu Jiu, what are you thinking about? You seem so absorbed in your thoughts."
Suddenly, Taihong's voice rang in my ears, and I came back to my senses. Then I smiled bitterly at myself. Why was I thinking so much? It was a question whether I could survive today. Now I should think about how to get in, because I have noticed the silver lock as big as a basketball on the gate. It has five sockets and looks very complicated. Taihong reminded me. After I came back to my senses, I went forward to check it out. After one look, I found it a little familiar. Suddenly, I seemed to have seen this kind of lock in a book of my master a long time ago.
This lock is called the five-color lock. The internal structure of this lock is extremely complicated. There are five keys and five keyholes. Moreover, the time for inserting keys must be in a certain pattern. For example, when to insert the first key from the left, how many seconds should pass before inserting the second key, and how many seconds should pass before inserting the third key. You cannot insert the keys randomly, otherwise the lock will be permanently locked. This lock appeared in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, basically no one could unlock it after using it.
"This is troublesome." I frowned and thought about Taihong and said, "This lock is called a five-flowered lock..."
After I finished talking to Taihong, Taihong also frowned. But Anan said, "No matter what, let's go find the key first. See if those soldiers have it." After Anan said that, he turned around and walked to the nearest room. Taihong and I looked at each other, and Taihong said, "Let's find the key first. Otherwise, it will be nonsense to do anything without the key." After Taihong said that, he also walked closer to the room. I looked at the time. It was only about two minutes before Miao Long and the others came down. After they came down, it would take them at most five minutes to get here. That means we have at most seven minutes to find the key.
After finding the key, I still had to unlock the door. Suddenly, I realized that these seven minutes were so short, so short that it was a little pitiful. Shaking my head, I also walked into the room that Taihong and the others had entered. We were very lucky. We didn't have to look for the five keys at all. The five keys were placed on the table. I don't know whether the soldiers were confident that no one could get in here, or they were confident that even with the keys, they couldn't open the lock. Anyway, the keys were obtained so easily. I hadn't even entered the room yet, and Anan ran out happily with five keys. I was also happy when I saw it.
These five keys are more than twice as long as the keys we usually use, and they are certified by Taihong. They are made of pure silver, not only the keys, but also the door. I was stunned when I heard it. Some people may think that pure silver is not pure gold, but think about it, a door is five meters high, five meters wide, and at least half a meter thick. How much pure silver does it take? And this is just a door, what about the treasures inside? It's too damn extravagant.
But after the joy of getting the key passed, we had a more serious question. Damn, who can tell me how to open this key? Because it is said that if you insert the wrong key into the lock, it will be locked forever. At this time, I estimated that there were only less than six minutes left for Miao Long to arrive here. If this door cannot be opened, we may really die. It is like being driven into a dead end. I was so nervous that my palms were full of sweat.
"There must be some pattern, but what exactly is it?" Tai Hong frowned and said, "Maybe it's Morse code. Generally speaking, very complex codes tend to use that."
"Brother, I kneel before you. Morse code is an electric code, right? This is common sense. And was there Morse code in the Qing Dynasty? Even if there was, even if this lock used Morse code, do you think we can crack it? It's too unreliable."
I looked at Taihong with contempt, and I hit myself hard on the head. Damn it, I always say that I am Conan, but why don’t I have Conan’s IQ? If I had his IQ, I would say it. "
"There is only one truth!" I suddenly said loudly.
"What's the truth?" Taihong and Anan were both in deep thought. When they suddenly heard me say this, they were both shocked.
"Just insert it randomly!" I grinned, because I thought of the theory of Glasses. Maybe I'm lucky, and the old guy Fate will help me now. If I'm lucky, the door will be opened. Of course, this feels like gambling with my life, but there is no other way. Then I thought to myself, Fate, if you don't want me to die, just open the door for me!
After thinking about it, I took the five keys from Anan's hand and looked at the time. I estimated that there were only two minutes left before Miao Long and the others would arrive. I took a deep breath. Taihong and Anan were also helpless. Although my method was unreliable, they really had no better way.
I took a deep breath, picked up a key and inserted it. After three seconds, I inserted another one. Just like that, I inserted all the keys in within fifteen seconds. After I finished, I was sweating profusely and looked at the lock nervously.
