Chapter 126 The stone gate opens, and the corridor appears!
Longmen Inn, underground cave.
The environment of the underground cave is special, dark and humid. It is surrounded by stalactites of different lengths and uneven heights. Various stalactites form a natural maze.
The jagged stalactites are like huge barbs, surging from the ground and growing overhead. Year-round growth and weathering have created such a strange and beautiful spectacle.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the whole cave made a sound like the chirping of ghosts, which was subtle and resentful, making people shudder.
The warriors who had just entered the underground cave looked wary, looking around with eyes like torches, and moved forward cautiously, fearing that they would be attacked by someone and die unexpectedly.
"Boom!"
Following a dull sound, it was transmitted into the underground cave.
Gu Shaotang looked at the people who were gradually arriving, nodded slightly, walked to the center of the open space, and said loudly: "It looks like everyone is here."
Everyone's eyes are different, some are scrutinizing, some are vigilant, some are hostile, and some are cautious.
"Gu Shaotang, what on earth are you playing?" Qingcheng Sect leader Yu Canghai asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
Gu Shaotang is not Zhu Youji. Although he is the leader of the Eagle Gang, his own strength is not very high, at least not among their group.
The previous calculation had nothing to do with his own interests, so Yu Canghai didn't say anything.
But now, Gu Shaotang actually led Zhu Youji and others into the secret passage secretly?
This is obviously a conspiracy, and he even wants to steal the treasure.
Yu Canghai couldn't bear it anymore!
The warriors also looked at Gu Shaotang, waiting for an explanation.
Gu Shaotang smiled softly and calmed Yu Canghai lightly: "Master Yu, why are you angry?"
Then, Gu Shaotang turned to look at the rest of the people and said loudly:
"Everyone, congratulations on passing the third test."
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes flickered, and they instantly understood what Gu Shaotang meant.
It turns out that entering the underground cave of Longmen Inn is the so-called third test.
At this time, Lin Ye, the mysterious warrior who lived on the third floor, suddenly said: "Everyone above must be dead."
Hearing this, Gu Shaotang did not answer directly, but changed the topic and said: "You are all smart people. I won't say anything more. Since everyone has passed the third test, after entering the Mobei Underground City,
, it’s up to everyone to do what they can.”
Although Gu Shaotang's words were not spoken directly, the subtext was obvious.
Everyone's hearts sank, this Eagle Gang leader Gu Shaotang was indeed a ruthless character.
As the saying goes, kindness cannot control soldiers. As a woman, she can control such cruel and cruel bandits. She really has some tricks!
"Where is this place?" Yu Canghai's attitude is still unkind. He is the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. As a respected person, if it were not for the treasures of the ancient Jiang Kingdom, he would never interact with Gu Shaotang, the bandit leader.
Talkative.
“Longmen Inn, underground cave.”
Gu Shaotang explained softly: "This cave has existed for thousands of years. It existed here long before the destruction of the ancient Jiang Kingdom."
"I searched through ancient classics and found some clues from the written records, so I can infer that there is a secret passage leading to the palace of the ancient Jiang Kingdom."
"What?" Yu Canghai was slightly startled, and then he was glad that he had followed him, and that he actually had such a secret.
Gu Shaotang continued, thinking to himself: "Combining the secret historical data of Mobei and Tatar, I found out that there was a secret passage leading to the inner courtyard of the palace in the ancient Jiang Kingdom. In the past, Long Yang, the crown prince of the ancient Jiang Kingdom, guarded the city gate. There is a high probability that it was In order to delay time for his sister and the palace concubines."
"However, his sister Long Kui was unwilling to let Long Yang sacrifice for her, so she returned to the palace and threw herself into the sword-making furnace..."
After Gu Shaotang's explanation, the group immediately understood the whole story of the ancient Jiang Kingdom, and also understood why Longmen Inn had become the only way to enter the ancient Jiang Kingdom in the past.
This secret passage is the answer.
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!" Yu Canghai said coldly.
"Okay, everyone, come with me."
Gu Shaotang was not angry and walked towards the forest of stalactites alone.
Everyone quickly followed him.
Zhu Youji looked at everyone secretly and frowned slightly. Why is Ning Zhihu, the peerless genius who should appear in the original work, missing?
Did the butterfly effect affect this opportunity?
This opportunity belongs to Ning Zhihu, and it also belongs to Chu Yang in the future.
If Ning Zhihu hadn't come, how would he have broken through to the ninth level with his unique physique?
If you don't reach the ninth rank, it's impossible to compete with Chu Yang for the position of leader!
It also makes it even more impossible to join Chu Yang.
Without Ning Zhihu's help, how could Chu Yang conquer the people of Qinglian Sect?
Zhu Youji looked around everyone, examining their identities.
This move made everyone nervous.
In this dark and small environment, if Zhu Youji takes action secretly, with his Six Meridians Divine Sword, they may not be able to escape at all!
Everyone calmly and quietly moved away from Zhu Youji, concentrating on him and being ready to fight and dodge at any time.
Seeing this, Zhu Youji looked calm, withdrew his gaze and did not do anything.
When he looked around at the crowd, he saw Yan Sanniang whose face was covered by a gauze veil.
She did not disappoint Zhu Youji. She passed the third test and entered the underground cave.
…
In this way, a group of them followed Gu Shaotang to a stone gate.
The stone door is extremely thick and dark in color. There are yellow sand scattered on the ground. There is no pattern or unevenness except for the gap in the center.
"Is this the secret door leading to the palace of the ancient Jiang Kingdom?" Yu Canghai looked at the door, frowned, and asked.
Gu Shaotang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is right here."
Seeing this, Hou Renying on the side suddenly interjected: "Since there is a secret door, why do we have to wait for the black sand storm to pass? Wouldn't it be better to sneak in directly through the secret door?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hou Renying noticed that the people around her were looking at her as if they were looking at an idiot.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Hou Renying looked a little ugly and shouted loudly.
"Shut up!" Yu Canghai couldn't bear it and kicked Hou Renying hard, interrupting Hou Renying.
Afterwards, Yu Canghai grabbed Hou Renying and said coldly in a low voice: "If you talk again and embarrass the Qingcheng Sect, I will destroy you."
Hou Renying shrank her neck and did not dare to say a word.
Yu Canghai looked unkind and explained coldly: "If you don't have any brains, talk less. The ancient Jiang Kingdom has been buried by yellow sand all year round. There is yellow sand everywhere. So what if there is a secret passage?"
"Who can clean up the endless yellow sand? Who is willing to waste this time and financial resources?"
"If the black sandstorm doesn't come, there will be yellow sand everywhere. Can you go in?"
Everyone quite agreed with what Yu Canghai said.
It was precisely because everyone thought of this that no one spoke up.
Song Miaosong ignored the whispers of Yu Canghai and Hou Renying, looked at Gu Shaotang, cupped his hands and said: "Gu Gang Leader, please open the door!"
Gu Shaotang nodded slightly and ordered loudly: "Open the stone gate!"
Following Gu Shaotang's order, the Eagle Gang members and Tatars who were hiding in the darkness all ran out. They used all their strength to pull the stiff wheel mechanism, and the chains covered with rust kept pulling, slowly pulling the stone door. Pulled slowly...
There were all people with advanced cultivation levels present, and they were not surprised by the appearance of these people.
The reason why they were willing to listen to Gu Shaotang's arrangements was that the manpower that had been arranged long ago also played a big role.
Otherwise, what qualifications does a seventh-grade warrior have to lead a group of ninth-grade warriors?
The world still respects the strong.
Either you have strength, or you have power, or you have money.
If you don't have any of them, then I'm sorry, you don't even have a voice to speak.
Although Gu Shaotang is not powerful, he is still smart. He knows how to take advantage of Zhu Youji's situation and lead the way for Zhu Youji to make everyone wary. In addition, she knows the layout best, so everyone has to rely on her to enter the ancient Jiang Kingdom. Relics, so we can take the initiative at this moment.
"Click, click..."
Accompanied by the sound of friction and pulling of the mechanism, the stone door rose, and the secret passage leading to the ancient Jiangguo palace gradually came into view...
On the mottled and gloomy corridor, strange candles gradually lit up, illuminating the way forward. Murals were carved on the walls, recording the history of the ancient Jiang Kingdom.
None of this seems fake.
Gu Shaotang turned around, bowed his hands to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please! Let's all rely on our abilities!"
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes flickering, no one wanted to be the one who stood out.
Besides, no one can guarantee that this corridor leads to the ancient Jiang Kingdom.
What if the corridor leads to a secret room?
What if there is a trap behind the corridor?
Gu Shaotang is so thoughtful that he can do such a thing!
In three tests, so many people were killed without any bloodshed.
It's not impossible to create a fake channel to kill people.
At this moment, Gu Shaotang has no credibility in the hearts of everyone!
"choke!"
Yu Canghai directly drew out his sword, pointed it at Gu Shaotang, and said coldly: "Gu Gang Leader, please go first!"
Everyone did not stop Yu Canghai's actions.
The reason is simple, because none of them believe in the leader of the Eagle Gang.
"Hahaha..." Gu Shaotang suddenly burst into laughter, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Okay, since you are so righteous, then this little lady will be disrespectful."
"People from the Eagle Gang, follow me."
Gu Shaotang led the people from the Eagle Gang into the corridor.
Buludu also led the Tatar team and followed in.
Seeing this, everyone frowned and listened quietly to the movement in the corridor.
Zhu Youji took Ding Xiu, stepped in, and followed the first two groups of people.
After about a cup of tea, when they saw that there was no movement inside, many people couldn't stand it any longer and rushed into the corridor one after another.
As they entered, the remaining people also entered the corridor.??
