While in Cangzhou, Fu Lie got the news from Jinzhou. He had a complete understanding of what Qingqing and Jiang Yuanhan had done.
Hu Sen inherited the Teng family, and if he stayed, Xiantiantian could hold on for at least an hour.
Then he will reach Xiantian within this hour.
According to the map they have, they can only go fast enough without encountering any obstacles.
It can be arrived.
However, when they came out of the mountain, a group of people wearing blue cloaks appeared in front of them.
"Master Marquis, the princess has ordered that if you insist on going to her, then we have no choice but to be rude."
One of the leaders showed the scimitar in his hand, his cold tone filled with murderous intent.
"Master Hou! You go first! The subordinates here will deal with it!" Yang Liu took a step forward without hesitation.
Fu Lie only said: "Come back alive!"
As Fu Lie's figure disappeared, Yang Liu flicked his wrist, raised all his inner strength, and killed him.
A line of Tianshan Mountain.
The guard captain not far away shouted: "Madam! Found it!"
Wen Qingzhu and Hu Sen immediately got up and rushed over there.
In front of them was an unusually smooth stone without any gaps.
They had cleared away the weeds and rubble.
In this barren mountain, the ordinary rocks are all kinds of weird shapes. It's so flat here that it's hard not to notice.
Hu Sen knelt down, took out a dagger, and struck the stone.
The sound is not as deep as a solid rock, but has a hint of crispness.
"This is it! There must be an entrance mechanism!" Hu Sen stood up and looked around.
There is a protruding stone about a foot away on the right.
Hu Sen walked over and looked around the stone, and finally found a recessed place on the back of the stone.
He took out the silver plate and put it against the recessed place.
Suddenly, the silver plate sank deeper.
With a rumble, the ground beside him began to tremble, and the flat stone in front of Wen Qingzhu slowly moved from the left to the right.
Slowly, a huge entrance appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, the silver plate inside the stone was ejected again.
Hu Sen rushed to Wen Qingzhu's side with the silver plate and looked at the dark hole in front of him.
As the breeze blew out, everyone smelled the smell of rust and mines.
Hu Sen looked inside and said, "It should be inside!"
"Let's go." Wen Qingzhu was not worried and walked in first.
As they continued to go deeper, under the light of the night pearl, they could see their surroundings clearly.
What appeared in front of us was a huge space, like an inverted hemisphere, with various patterns and words carved on the stone walls.
Wen Qingzhu knew the characters of the Wu clan, and coupled with the large-area patterns, he could basically understand what was recorded here at a glance.
This mountain records how the Teng family discovered this place, how they overcame difficulties to mine, how they made weapons, and how they chose this place as their base.
At the end of the pattern, Wen Qingzhu saw a man holding a long gun and pointing in one direction.
Following the direction of the spear, Wen Qingzhu saw a door frame carved with witch patterns.
There was a faint light coming from the left and right sides of the darker door inside.
"What's over there?" Wen Qingzhu turned to ask Hu Sen.
Hu Sen recalled it attentively: "It should be the ancestral hall of the Teng family."
"The Teng family's ancestral hall was built inside the mountain?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.
It is not easy to build an ancestral hall in the mountains.
The Witch God Temple and Witch God Square she had seen before were so majestic.
However, given that the Teng family was just a family of the Wu clan, Wen Qingzhu felt that it was understandable.
They approached slowly, and when they reached the door, they threw a few night-light pearls in.
As the light shone in, they could see the whole picture clearly.
Rather than an ancestral hall, Wen Qingzhu felt that this place was more like a storage room for stone statues.
The innermost one is also the largest stone statue, as big as a real person. It can be seen that he is a brave man.
He was wearing the traditional armor of the Wu clan, holding a spear in both hands in front of him, standing quietly at the top.
Coming down from the left and right sides, the stone statues gradually became smaller, and in the end they were only about the size of a palm, neatly filling this small cave.
When they were outside, the faint light they saw was a fluorescent stone clamped on the forehead of each stone statue.
The closer to the big stone statue, the weaker the light from the fluorescent stone becomes. Only the fluorescent stone near the door has some brightness.
So just now, Wen Qingzhu saw green light coming out from both sides of the door frame.
After making sure there was no danger, they walked in.
The guard captain and his men began to carefully explore this place.
After a while, Hu Sen suddenly said: "There is no danger here."
Wen Qingzhu looked at him: "How do you know?"
Hu Sen raised his head, looked at the largest stone statue and said: "When I was a child, I met an old beggar. He said that he escaped from the Wu Clan and told me some things about the Wu Clan, including this one. The secret chamber of the stone statue.”
"Is he from the Teng family?"
Hu Sen looked a little melancholy: "I used to think he was just an ordinary Wu clan member, but now it seems that some of the very special people I met were all arranged by my grandfather."
Wen Qingzhu didn't ask any more questions. She knew very well how Hu Sen was feeling at this time.
From birth, he has been living in other people's plans.
Hu Sen turned his head and said from a path in the middle of the stone statues on the right: "There is a control room over there. If we go in, we can control the entire sky."
With him taking the lead, Wen Qingzhu and others stopped investigating and followed him in.
Arriving in front of a stone wall, Hu Sen easily saw a sunken place, which was also the size of the silver plate in his hand.
Following the previous method, he put the silver plate in, and the stone wall in front of him opened from the middle.
A strange smell came from the shop.
"Everyone, get out of here first! The air inside is poisonous!" Wen Qingzhu immediately held his breath and led the people back.
After waiting for a moment, Wen Qingzhu felt it and made sure that the poisonous gas had almost dissipated before taking them in again.
Arriving inside the house, Wen Qingzhu was surprised to find that there was an oil lamp inside.
After she lit it, the whole room lit up.
Wen Qingzhu discovered that he saw a pillar with many iron pipes on it, but most of them were rusty and had a layer of crisp iron sheets floating on them, which was the most common yellow-brown color.
Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu felt inexplicably familiar.
Because in addition to the pillar and the iron pipe, she also found that at the height of her neck, most of the iron pipe turned here and turned towards the outside of the pillar.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and looked at the opening of the iron pipe carefully. Unlike the pipes with rust on them, there was a layer of dark gray on top of this opening.
Wen Qingzhu touched it with his fingertips, and a layer of floating ash appeared on his fingers.
At the mouth of the tube, a slightly raised glass surface appeared.
"Isn't this-" Wen Qingzhu was surprised. She looked around again and found that in addition to iron pipes, there were also wooden pipes for ventilation.
The captain of the guard behind found several bones and came over to report: "Madam, please come with your subordinates."
Wen Qingzhu followed him there, and the clothes on these bones had not yet decayed.
In the hand of a skeleton in the middle, she saw a key.
She bent down, picked it up, and walked around the pillar with the key.
Finally, I found a place where the key was inserted, but your keyhole was also rusty.
Everything she saw looked too familiar to her.
This is clearly the government city under the small courtyard in the paddock!
Compared to the sophistication of that place, the equipment here is much cruder.
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu inserted the key.
Twisting hard, the whole room trembled slightly.
Then, there was the sound of gears, and something started to move.
The rumbling sound slowly faded away.
"What on earth is here-" Hu Sen had never seen anything like this before, and stared at Wen Qingzhu with a calm face in stunned silence.
"This is a simple mechanism city. I have seen places more sophisticated than this." Wen Qingzhu did not intend to hide it. After all, this was the property left to Hu Sen by the Teng family.
Under Hu Sen's gaze, Wen Qingzhu wiped the opening of the iron pipe clean with a handkerchief, lowered his head slightly, and looked into the iron pipe.
In the dim light, they could vaguely see the way they came.
Wen Qingzhu ordered people to clean all the iron pipe openings.
After checking one by one, only a few can see something.
Most of them were either too dim to see anything clearly or completely black.
Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment. This place had not been used for too long, and no one had replaced the parts in some places.
But in their current situation, it's already good to have such a thing.
There are only five usable nozzles, and only three of them have useful vision.
However, this is the best case scenario for now.
There were some control levers under the iron pipe mouth, and Wen Qingzhu did not dare to move them casually.
But fortunately, the Teng family doesn't seem to be very familiar with this thing.
They wrote a few words on each joystick.
For example, the one on Wen Qingzhu's hand has three words written next to it: East, Stone, and Attack.
These three words are still separated.
She went to look at the other joysticks, and some of them said North, Insect, and Shou.
Based on all the examples so far, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of these three words.
The first is the position, the second is the tool, and the last is the offense and defense.
To be on the safe side, Wen Qingzhu checked all the joysticks.
In the end, there were seven that were confirmed to be usable.
She needed to know the purpose of these joysticks, so she asked Hu Sen to take people out to see what would happen at the time they agreed on.
A quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu held the first joystick and pulled hard.
With a click, the joystick was pulled halfway and suddenly broke.
Seeing this scene, Wen Qingzhu closed her eyes. It seemed that the situation was more serious than she imagined.
An institution was scrapped.
On the mountain, Hu Sen and others stood carefully in a safe place.
At the appointed time, they saw a sudden bulge on the road coming up from the east, but it seemed to be a simple bulge with no additional movement.
They waited patiently for a while and even went over to take a look.
After confirming that there was no further movement, Hu Sen asked the people around him: "Is this a kind of mechanism?"
The people around me looked at the bulging place, shook their heads and said, "Maybe the mechanism is in disrepair and can no longer be used."
"Oh." Hu Sen began to worry, or they had been hiding down there and not letting out the news.
Either the mechanism here is effective and they have no way out.
But fortunately, the next mechanisms are all effective.
The best trick is that on the most difficult middle section, a pile of rocks suddenly appeared and rolled down unexpectedly.
Secondly, there will be a burst of black smoke near the top of the mountain.
There was a rustling sound of insects inside, which made people's scalp numb.
The smoke composed of such bugs is naturally poisonous to humans.
Hu Sen felt that the other small mechanisms might not have any effect on the night watchmen.
After they finished their observations, they returned to the cave with the recorded information.
