"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you so dazed?" Jenny saw me suddenly stop mid-sentence, and quickly reached out to touch me.
I quickly stood up and said, "Jenny, I thought about that painting, and the secret might be behind that painting."
As soon as Jenny heard what I said, she immediately reacted, "You mean...the back of the painting?"
"That's right, don't you think there's something wrong with the location of this painting? It's hung in an inconspicuous position at the very back. This is the most questionable thing. I was just thinking about other things at the time, and I actually put it on
I forgot about this." A smile spread across my face, feeling like life was returning to me again.
"Don't think too happily. There are still two questions. If there is nothing like this under the coffin, wouldn't it be another wasted joy?" Jenny is relatively calm and not so excited.
.
"You'll know after you see it, let's go."
The two of us hurriedly went down the steps and walked toward the painting. When we reached it, I pulled out my diving knife and lifted the painting off the stone wall.
When the painting was taken down, there was still a stone wall behind it. Jenny said helplessly, "It's over, my joy was in vain. It's still a stone wall."
"Don't worry, I'll take a look again."
This time I didn't panic. I knocked on the stone wall again with my hand. I was suddenly startled. I turned to look at Jenny and said, "This stone wall is empty. There must be a road behind it."
This stone wall is very thin. Compared with the stone door that was blown open with a grenade before, it is much thinner. It feels to me that this stone wall is like a blind trick, just used to fool people, and has no deterrent effect at all.
"Really, are you sure?" Jenny felt energetic this time. After all, this is a matter of life and death.
"It's unmistakable. There is definitely a road behind this, and the stone wall is very thin. I'll try to see if I can kick it open with my feet."
After I finished speaking, I took two steps back and started kicking. But after I kicked a few times in succession, I don’t know whether it was because I was not strong enough or I underestimated the thickness of the stone wall. In short, there was still no trace of the stone wall.
Reaction.
I changed my foot and kicked a few more times, but it still didn't work. The soles of my feet were so tired that I was almost sweating profusely. But there wasn't even a crack in the stone wall, and there was no damage at all. It seemed that I underestimated it.
The thickness of this stone wall.
"This doesn't work either, I can't kick him away at all." Jenny also tried several times with her feet, but she didn't even think about it. I couldn't even kick her away, let alone her.
"Let me rest for a while. I'll try again later." I planned to slow down my strength and kick it again. The stone wall must be empty, and I didn't believe I couldn't kick it open.
"I think it's better to forget it. Don't tire you out any more. We have to find something and try to break it open." Jenny said and looked around, but there was nowhere in this underground palace.
If there is anything we can use, those porcelain bottles won't kill anyone, let alone the wall.
"Stop looking for it. There is absolutely nothing that can be used here." I asked Jenny to stop and stop wasting energy.
"Then what should we do? How about... just blow it up with a grenade?" Jenny said with bright eyes.
I shook my head and said, "No, there are only two grenades left. You have to save some. This wall is not thick. As long as there is something to borrow force, it can definitely be opened. I thought of it. Wait for me here. I have to
Climb outside."
I turned around and walked back, Jenny quickly followed me, "Why are you crawling outside?"
"I'm going to get the spear from the entrance of the passage. That thing can definitely open the stone wall. You wait for me here and don't go out. I'll be back soon."
I quickly walked all the way to the hole that I had blasted before, lay down and crawled out, then ran forward quickly and jumped over the big rock, which was the area with spears all over the ground. I picked them casually.
I picked up the two spears I had handy and was about to leave when I suddenly thought that I should go to the entrance of the passage to check the situation.
I put down the spear in my hand again and continued to run forward. Without the mechanism, the speed was naturally very fast. By the time I reached the entrance of the cave, the violent wind and gravel outside had stopped. I looked up from outside the cave.
, that swirling gray mist still exists, but it has returned to its previous state.
I don’t know what happened to Jiao Ba and Li Xin. Are they safe or are they in danger again? I hope they all have a smooth journey. I stayed at the entrance of the cave for about ten seconds before turning around and running back.
go.
On the way, I picked up the two spears prepared in advance and climbed back into the underground palace again. "How are you? Are you okay Zhongyi?" Jenny stretched out her hand and pulled me up from the ground. I was so tired from running all the way that I was out of breath.
Out of breath.
"It's okay, the things are here." I showed her the spear in my hand, indicating that victory was in sight.
The two of us quickly ran inside. When we reached the location of the painting, I gripped the spear tightly and began to hit the stone wall. It was easy to use something in my hands. After I hit it several times in a row,
, I used a spear to poke a dozen small holes in the stone wall.
It could probably form a square shape. The thickness of the stone wall was indeed very thin. It didn't take much effort to pierce the spear into it. Then I threw the spear aside, took two steps back, held my breath, and fiercely
Just kick him over.
The previous wall was full of holes with spears. I kicked it down hard and broke the stone wall into pieces. Then I used my spears to pierce the surrounding stone walls.
After pricking it in a circle, I then kicked the piece to pieces with my feet. After two consecutive prickings and kicks, a slightly larger gap basically appeared on the stone wall, but it was not there yet.
It's just completely opened. There should be a stone wall about the same thickness inside.
Behind this painting, there is actually a mezzanine, with very thin stone slabs on both sides, and the middle is hollow, so when you knock it with your hand, you can clearly tell that it is hollow.
I deliberately stepped forward to take a look, and also tested it with my arms on both sides. The entrance was about one meter wide, with a hollow mezzanine. A little further to both sides, there were solid stone walls.
It is obvious that the people who built the underground palace previously opened a path and then covered it with stone slabs. This painting was intended to block this key way out.
"Look, the middle is hollow, just like a hollow brick. It's obvious that the stone wall was filled in later. If you open the other side, you can definitely pass through." I said with a spear in my hand and sweat on my head.
.
Jenny finally showed an excited smile and said, "It seems we can leave here. Zhongyi, please take a rest and let me do it."
As she spoke, she took another spear and was about to pierce the stone wall. I stretched out my hand to stop her and said, "Can you do it? I see that your face is pale."
"Don't worry, it's okay. Just take a rest." She pushed me away gently, held the spear in her hand, and started to hit the stone wall. It must be said that she looked like she was about to die just now.
But now I can see the light again immediately.
This Jenny is really powerful when she goes crazy. The power of a woman cannot be ignored. She is almost the same as me. After two consecutive blows and kicks, she finally managed to break open the stone slab inside.
.
After the entrance was opened, the two of us looked at each other. It was still dark inside. We had found the way, but whether we could get out was still unknown.
I used a flashlight to shine inside first. The space inside was very large. It was obviously not the entrance to the passage. Could it be that there was another underground palace inside?
"It seems...it doesn't seem to be a passage. It looks like this space is huge. It might be another underground palace." Jenny said next to me.
"Well, that's about it. You wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look first. After I'm sure it's safe, I'll call you in." I held a spear in my hand and was ready to go in.
Jenny grabbed me and said, "Wait Zhongyi, I'll go with you. If we are in danger, we can at least look after each other."
"Forget it, you better keep it, I..."
"No, I have to go with you. We have to go together and stay together." Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by Jenny.
Looking at her firm eyes, I suddenly felt like a husband and a wife. I nodded, "Well, you follow me, be careful."
I turned on the flashlight and walked in at a low waist, and Jenny followed me in. I looked around with the flashlight. The stone walls inside were the same as the underground palace just now, and even the size of the space was similar.
"This place... seems to be the same as the underground palace just now?" Jenny said quietly behind me.
"Well, follow the path to the underground palace just now and look for the handle of the switch."
The two of us followed the previous route and went to find the switch handle of the underground palace. The result was as expected. When Jenny pushed the handle up, the whole space lit up again.
There are still round pillars around, and there is a large square pillar in the middle. On top of each round pillar, there is also a copper basin similar to a flower pot. Inside the copper basin is a candle, and the flame of the candle is still blue.
A little further inside, there is a large circular staircase. Everything inside is almost exactly the same as the underground palace just now. It is like a perfect replica, basically without any flaws.
"I...am I hallucinating? This place...is almost the same as the underground palace just now. How is this possible?"
I said in disbelief. I suspected that I was hallucinating or dreaming. Could it be that I had passed out from exhaustion? The reality was more like a dream, which made it difficult for me to distinguish.
"I don't know either, I looked at it too, what...what's going on?" Jenny turned to look at me, her face became very ugly, her eyes were full of disbelief, but in the face of all this, she had to believe it.
