King Xiang pulled the chain with all his strength, and the entire hall began to slowly rotate. Amidst the huge "rumbling" sound, stones and earth on the cave wall fell one after another, and smoke and dust filled the hall.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a huge hole appeared on the cave wall, extending deep into the ground.
When Mo Di walked to the cave, he felt a gust of cold wind coming, and he couldn't help but shudder. He looked into the cave, it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything clearly, and he didn't know how long it was.
Mo Di asked: "Is this the entrance to the cave?"
The spirit ghost said: "Yes, this is the passage leading to the underground palace."
"What should we do next?"
"I only know the entrance to this cave, but I have never been in it. As for how to get out, I don't know either."
Mo Di heard that Ling Gui's words didn't sound like lies. He exchanged glances with King Xiang and believed what he said.
Mo Di said: "Okay, I believe you, but remember, if you play some tricks, I will definitely not be able to forgive you."
Ling Gui replied somewhat unhappily: "Our lives are in your hands, how dare I lie? However, there is no excuse for wanting to incriminate me. I hope you will keep your promise."
Mo Di said: "Of course you don't have to worry about this. Let's give you some spiritual energy first and save your brother's life." As he said that, he put his hand on the mouth of the bottle and injected some spiritual energy into it. Of course, this spiritual energy was only enough to maintain the life of your brother.
It’s just that the ghost’s soul remains.
Mo Di filled the bottle and asked King Xiang, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
King Xiang said: "There is only this road. We have no choice. Let's watch as we walk."
Mo Di nodded and said, "That's all."
So, everyone followed the original formation, with soldiers guarding the outside, King Xiang, Mo Di and others in the center, and then entered the cave.
This tomb passage is much wider than the original one, and the construction is also very particular. It is made of huge stones with many exquisite patterns carved on it. There are no forks in the road, so everyone keeps walking forward along the tomb passage.
After walking for a full hour, they haven't reached the end yet. The tomb passage leads to the ground at an angle. Mo Di calculated that they should be several hundred feet underground by now.
Everyone was a little anxious, but they continued to move forward patiently. After walking for another two or three miles, they finally entered a hall again.
This hall is about the same size as the previous hall, but there are no eight openings. There is only one opening on the opposite side. There is a huge stone inlaid above the opening, which seems to be engraved with some words. By the firelight, everyone can see the words carved on the stone from a distance.
It is the word "Heaven and Earth".
King Xiang asked: "I wonder what the word 'Heaven and Earth' engraved on it means. Mr. Mo, do you know?"
Mo Di said: "I'm not particularly sure, but I think it's not pronounced 'Heaven and Earth', but 'Earth and Heaven'."
"Earth and heaven? What does this mean?" King Xiang asked, and no one understood why it was read this way.
Mo Di said: "Earth, maybe it means the sky within the earth. If my guess is correct, after passing the door in front, it should be the underground palace!"
When Mo Di said that the underground palace was ahead, the soldiers cheered and some impatient ones rushed over.
"slow!"
"Wait!"
Mo Di and King Xiang shouted out almost at the same time, but it was too late. The few soldiers rushing at the front turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared without even having time to shout. One or two of them disappeared.
The one who was running slowly happened to have his hand stretched out in front of his body, but his hand disappeared. They fell to the ground wailing in pain and crawled back with all their strength.
King Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to check the wounds of these people. He saw that the wounds were very neat, as if they had been struck by a knife or an axe, but the flesh and skin had been burnt.
Mo Di also saw the strange wound and asked King Xiang: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
King Xiang said: "Maybe it's time."
Mo Di didn't understand what King Xiang meant. Just as he was about to ask, King Xiang stretched out his hand and shouted, "Bring me a sword!"
A soldier immediately handed over his sword with both hands. King Xiang took the sword, pulled it out, and threw the scabbard forward. The scabbard flew halfway, and before it landed, it turned into a puff of smoke.
, disappeared out of thin air. This made everyone extremely surprised.
There was an imperceptible smile on King Xiang's face. He held his sword and pointed forward, staring at the tip of the sword. Then he walked forward slowly step by step. He walked a few steps and reached the middle of the hall. At this time, he saw something on the tip of the sword.
When the smoke came out, the sword made of fine steel melted instantly and turned into a puff of blue smoke.
King Xiang moved forward even more slowly, almost inch by inch, and the sword was melted inch by inch and disappeared without a trace, as if there was a wall of fire in the sky.
King Xiang withdrew the sword and blew away the green smoke from the sword. He saw that the broken sword had a very neat cross-section, as if it had been broken abruptly.
"Hahaha, it's here, it's here, it's true!" King Xiang looked back at Mo Di and said, "Mr. Mo, come and see."
Mo Di walked closer and looked where King Xiang was pointing. He saw a layer of vague barriers lying in front of him, dividing the entire hall into two. This layer of barriers was very thin and completely transparent. Only through
Only with a trace of smoke can you see in a trance.
"What is this?" Mo Di asked.
King Xiang said: "This is the barrier I told you that day, the barrier laid by Emperor Qin himself."
Cao Kun, Zhao Man'er, Yang Zi and others all came forward to take a look. Xiang Wang said: "Don't get too close. If it touches you in the slightest, you will either die or be injured."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a step back. Everyone looked at the transparent barrier in front of them curiously. It was hard to imagine that it had such lethality, and they couldn't help but secretly marvel. With this barrier, let alone people, even one person
Not even a fly can fly over.
This layer of barrier is extremely secretive and makes people unable to guard against it. Just imagine, after going through all kinds of hardships and finally seeing the underground palace, who will pay attention to see if there is a barrier here? Most people will get carried away, like those soldiers
They also lost their lives.
King Xiang winked at Cao Kun and said, "You all go outside and wait. I have something to say to Mr. Mo."
Cao Kun and other soldiers knew that King Xiang asked everyone to avoid them, so they all left the hall. Zhao Man'er looked at Yang Zi, but neither of them had any intention of moving.
Seeing that the two of them didn't want to leave, King Xiang didn't say much. He said to Mo Di: "Master Mo, whether we can enter the underground palace next depends on whether you and I can break through this barrier."
After Mo Di heard this, he was very excited and said: "I follow the king's arrangement." He didn't know the secret of breaking the barrier. King Xiang had always regarded it as the top secret and never mentioned it to anyone. He only watched King Xiang.
The next step is arranged.
Xiang Wangdao: "This method is also very simple." He glanced at Zhao Man'er and said: "Is this Miss Zhao?"
Zhao Man'er didn't know why he asked herself, and said: "Exactly."
King Xiang handed her the broken sword in his hand and said, "Take this sword and try this barrier."
Mo Di didn't know what King Xiang meant, and said: "Your Majesty, what are you..."
Seeing Mo Di's extremely worried look, King Xiang said, "Mr. Mo, please don't worry. I just asked Miss Zhao to demonstrate it. There will be no danger."
Zhao Man'er looked at King Xiang and then at Mo Di. She was very scared and didn't dare to try. Mo Di nodded towards her and said, "King Xiang won't lie to us. Just try it with the sword. If you feel bad, just do it."
Let go immediately. Don’t worry, I’ll be there to protect you.”
Mo Di said this, and Zhao Man'er felt a little confident. She took the broken sword, bit her lip, then lifted the sword and pointed it directly at the barrier. She was very nervous, and her hands shook slightly, and the sword followed.
She was shaking very hard.
Xiang Wangdao: "Miss Zhao, feel free to give it a try, don't be afraid."
Mo Di gave her another encouraging look, and she slowly walked forward. Mo Di followed her, ready to deal with danger at any time.
Zhao Maner walked forward little by little, very carefully.
The sword finally touched the barrier, but it did not melt and no smoke came out. Zhao Man'er thought that the sword did not touch the barrier, so she moved the sword forward half a foot, but something seemed to be blocking the front. An inch
She couldn't move forward either. She tried several times in succession, but nothing happened.
Mo Di and three others looked at King Xiang in surprise, not understanding what was going on.
King Xiang smiled and said: "Aren't you very strange? There are even stranger ones. Do you want to see them?"
Mo Di and the other three nodded at the same time. Xiang Wang said: "That still requires Miss Zhao's cooperation."
Zhao Man'er became more courageous and said: "Whatever needs to be done, your Majesty, just tell me."
King Xiang said: "Do you dare, girl, to put your hand up?"
Zhao Man'er didn't expect this, and quickly shook her head and said: "This... this won't work." Just now she saw several soldiers being burned by the barrier with her own eyes, but she didn't have the courage to try it. Trying with a sword was already too much.
Her bottom line has been reached.
King Xiang smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry, there won't be any problems."
Zhao Man'er looked at King Xiang again and saw that he didn't look like he had any intention of harming others, so she cruelly handed the broken sword to her left hand, stretched out one finger of her right hand, and slowly approached the barrier.
Princess Yangzi didn't quite believe in King Xiang, so she stopped Zhao Man'er and said, "I'll take your place!"
King Xiang stared at her, shook his head and said, "She can do it, but you can't!"
Yang Zi said: "Why can't I?"
Xiang Wangdao: "If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Yang Zi took the sword from Zhao Man'er's hand and stabbed it at the wall. As a result, a puff of green smoke came out and the broken sword disappeared instantly. Yang Zi was so frightened that he quickly let go, leaving only the hilt of the sword and fell to the ground.
Mo Di and others were even more surprised. Why was it that only Zhao Man'er could do it but others couldn't? Zhao Man'er suddenly became bolder. She took a step forward and lightly touched the barrier with one finger. She only felt soft.
The fingers did not disappear.
She withdrew her hand and raised her fingers in front of her eyes to take a closer look, but there was no change. She happily showed her fingers to Mo Di and said, "Master Mo, look, it's really okay!" Mo Di looked at it carefully.
, indeed there is no change at all.
Zhao Man'er simply pressed her entire palm against the barrier, pressed it hard, and said: "Although this thing is invisible, it is soft and soft. It's really strange! What is going on? Why can I do it but others can't?
?”
Xiang Wangdao: "Actually, not only you can do it, but Mr. Mo can too."
Zhao Man'er said in surprise: "Really? Mr. Mo, come and give it a try."
King Xiang stopped and said, "It's not too late to try again later. We have to rely on Mr. Mo to break this barrier."
Mo Di said: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Mo Di is willing to hear the details."
King Xiang said: "Now, there is no need to keep this secret anymore, I will tell you to listen to it!" (To be continued)
