Volume Thirteen: Dreaming Back to the Millennium Chapter Fifteen: Sanhe Palace
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Yao Guang walked out of the tent, he saw Wen Shang and Wei Chen already waiting outside.
Yao Guang smiled slightly and looked at Sheng Chuhan, "I have set up a barrier in our place. You follow me into the palace. The others stay where they are."
"Just the two of us?" Sheng Chuhan said in surprise.
"Who told you it's just the two of us." Yao Guang grinned, raised his hand and whistled, and four figures came from all directions.
"Master." Four figures fell in front of Yao Guang and bowed down.
"No courtesy." Yao Guang hugged his big head and walked towards the gate of Sanhe Palace, "Let's make it clear first that you have to obey me when entering the palace. If not, I will not be responsible for any problems that arise."
Wen Shang and Wei Chen clasped their fists.
Yaoguang nodded, walked towards the bronze gate, pulled the iron chain, and the gate slowly opened. Yaoguang walked in first, and after passing the gate, he saw a bluestone road paved with square bricks. There were also bluestones on the bluestone road.
There was blood left. It looked like it was left by someone who had forced his way into the palace.
"Suzaku." Yaoguang said to the woman in red.
Suzaku nodded, waved his hand, and countless marbles bounced out, hitting the bluestone floor. The marbles hit every square brick and disappeared into the opposite corridor.
Everyone looked at the square bricks, Wen Shang and Wei Chen's eyes were filled with a little fear, because the square bricks here were all connected to mechanisms, and several people were swallowed up directly here.
While the two people were in a daze, the sound of a machine starting up came from under the square bricks. Many square bricks began to reverse, some exposed black holes, and some had bayonets rising from them. The bayonets glowed with a faint green light.
Due to the strong poison, only a few square bricks remained untouched.
"Follow me, don't fall behind. We only have half a stick of incense time to pass here." After saying that, Yao Guang flew up and landed on the first square brick. One by one, everyone followed Yao Guang's pace and passed quickly.
This is the first mechanism.
Come to the beginning of a corridor.
"Xuanwu." Yaoguang called again.
The man in white nodded and walked over, holding several butterfly darts in his hand. With a force of his wrist, the butterfly darts flew out, constantly hitting the ground and walls.
Whistle, swish, swish... the next minute, countless sharp arrows were shot out from the wall in all directions.
"These arrows may not seem long, but they are inescapable no matter which direction they come from. If you are not careful, you will be shot into a hedgehog." Sheng Chuhan glanced at Yao Guang in surprise.
Yao Guang nodded: "This is just the simplest mechanism of Sanhe Palace."
The arrow flew for a quarter of an hour before stopping. Wen Shang was about to go forward, but was stopped by Yao Guang: "Wait a minute, it's not over yet."
Wen Shang looked at Yao Guang in surprise.
Xuanwu took action again, and several more butterfly darts flew out, hitting the ground and ceiling.
Swish, swish, countless iron caltrops shot out from the wall, overwhelming the sky, leaving beads of sweat on Wen Shang's head. "Who designed this mechanism?"
Xuanwu looked at the caltrops and shot the butterfly darts again. The butterfly darts shuttled through the caltrops, and the hit caltrops got stuck in the holes.
After a while, everyone heard a rustling sound, and countless colorful centipedes crawled out of the holes. After a while, the entire corridor was full of such colorful centipedes.
Except for Yao Guang and the four guards around her, the expressions on other people's faces were extremely unusual.
Those centipedes circled on the ground a few times and then began to crawl towards the crowd.
Yaoguang waved his hand, and a line of red smoke dispersed towards the centipedes. The centipedes crawled towards the main hall at the end of the corridor, just like they were avoiding the god of plague.
Yao Guang just looked at it, still not moving. Seeing that Yao Guang didn't move, Wen Shang and Wei Chen didn't move either. The people who came in front were seriously injured, and none of them dared to act rashly.
"What are we waiting for?" Sheng Chuhan looked at Yao Guang.
"Bigger." Yao Guang said, his eyes already staring at the darkness at the end.
"Bigger?" Sheng Chuhan wondered.
"Here we come." Yao Guang smiled.
Everyone looked into the darkness and heard the rustling sounds getting closer and closer. A huge shadow slowly appeared in the darkness.
As the shadow got closer and closer, everyone's eyes became more and more frightened, because what they saw was a huge centipede, like a giant python, with a long bloody mouth and a big mouth, slowly approaching the crowd.
When Wen Shang saw the centipede, he glanced at Wei Chen in horror, and Wei Chen's eyes were also filled with horror.
So those people were eaten by this big guy?
"What is this? The ancestor of the centipede?" Sheng Chuhan said: "Where did Li Tian get this one from?"
"He didn't bring it here. This is the place where Xuanwu gathers Yin. It's not surprising that there are these things here. This guy is just used to protect this place." Yao Guang said. "If you want to go down, you must first pass it.
close."
"Then how do we get there?" Sheng Chuhan asked.
"Come over." Yao Guang glanced at him, walked forward, took out a black pill from his arms and threw it into the air. The centipede opened its bloody mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Yes, the big centipede crawled to the ground with a bang.
"Quickly, this elixir can only make it temporarily unconscious." Yaoguang said, pulling Sheng Chuhan up and walking quickly towards the dark corridor.
The rest of the people followed Yao Guang and walked forward quickly. After entering the black corridor, Yao Guang pinched out a fire butterfly with his fingers. The fire butterfly flew up and circled around the wall of the corridor, and the dark corridor lit up.
When the light was turned on, it turned out that there were countless oil lamps installed on the walls of the corridor, but they were too high and no one could reach them.
Yaoguang stopped and saw that the big centipede had woken up. When he saw the light here, he did not move forward, but crawled away along a gap in the ground.
"It lives in darkness all year round and doesn't like the light. Let's go. This test is over."
Yao Guang said and led everyone towards the end of the corridor. When they reached the end, they saw a stone wall.
Yaoguang looked at the stone wall and said, "Qinglong."
The man in green clothes stepped forward, took out a small hammer from his clothes, and began to gently hammer on the stone wall. After a while, he found an inconspicuous brick and reached out to press it.
The stone wall began to slowly open, revealing a gap for a person to pass through. Yao Guang walked in.
"Your Majesty, is this a wall or a door?" One of Wen Shang's followers stretched out his hand to knock on the stone wall as he passed.
"Don't move..." Yao Guang stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was too late. He saw the follower's hand reaching directly into the wall, and streams of red liquid spurted out, splashing all over the follower.
"Ah..." The attendant only had time to scream and then collapsed. The next second, bursts of white smoke rose from his body, and the attendant melted instantly.
Yao Guang looked at the blood on the ground, and his face darkened: "This stone door is full of phosphoric acid, and this stone wall is made of clean ash. It will break as soon as you touch it. It's really asking for death."
Wen Shang, Wei Chen and others looked extremely ugly.
"Then, why is it okay for him to use a hammer?" Another follower was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"That hammer is also made of dust. Are you stupid?" Yao Guang continued walking in angrily.
