Chapter 29 Public Loss?
Guan Yue's shocked question also pulled Chu Xunyu's gaze over. In the darkness, the place where Mei Wan was standing just now was empty. This time, the shock brought to Chu Xunyu was quite a bit. Mei Wan is the daughter of the head of Hongdao Sect. Chu Xunyu had observed it many times along the way. Although this woman's cultivation was not high, she had countless rare treasures on her body. It was probably all tailor-made for her by the head of Hongdao Sect to love her daughter. It was more than enough to deal with these two-stage masters in the world. Now, in such a short moment, this woman was missing. This is really surprising.
Guanyue walked quickly to where Mei Wan was standing just now. He concentrated his spiritual energy in his eyes, looked around and looked around, and looked at the room clearly. In such a large room, except for the torture instruments all over the room, there was no other abnormal movement, as if there was never this person. Chu Xunyu felt it quietly, and there was no other movement. He blew the fire in his hand, and the flames as big as soybeans jumped again.
The swaying fire illuminated the entire room. Looking at the torture instruments all over the small room, Guan Yue's smile disappeared and his eyebrows frowned. Is this a joke? The daughter of the head disappeared for no reason. After all, she had the cultivation level of the Golden Pill stage and had countless rare treasures on her body. She didn't even make any noise. She just disappeared in front of her eyes. It would be a joke. If the head knew about this, would it be great? Thinking about the fate after returning, Guan Yue's face became even more gloomy.
Chu Xunyu was already on guard for a long time. Did Guanyue and the others deliberately do it and have any conspiracy? Or did he really have this incredible scene in front of him. He looked at Guanyue's face in secret. At this time, Guanyue's face was almost dripping with water under the dim firelight, which was not as if it was fake. Chu Xunyu didn't ask and just held it in his heart.
With a "bang", Guanyue closed the folding fan in her hand, turned around, and said fiercely: "Let's continue to find out the story behind this, and must rescue the lady."
Chu Xunyu nodded and continued to observe everything in the room without saying much. "There must be another exit here." Chu Xunyu said as he looked at the wall on the east side.
"Why is this wall?"
"Because when the firelight in his hand was extinguished just now, it was the wind blowing from this wall." Chu Xunyu pointed to the east.
After hearing this, Guanyue walked to the east wall, looked around, reached out and pushed apart the torture instrument hanging on the wall, touched the wall carefully, and turned around and said, "This wall feels very thick, not made of ordinary materials, but if the outlet is really behind this, it must not be delayed. The life of the lady is important. If you do not dodge it, I will blow it away directly." After that, she took care of it and placed a palm on the wall. Her mind sank, and her body suddenly surged and injected into the opposite wall.
At this time, Chu Xunyu looked coldly from the side, without any movement. He didn't think that the wall could be broken by such a easy palm. Sure enough, after only a few breaths, Guan Yue put down his palm and said coldly: "What's going on? He actually got into the sea without any reaction?"
Chu Xunyu walked over, touched her, and shook her head: "I don't know, but it's certain that this is not made of ordinary materials, and there are some restrictions that cannot be passed so easily."
He raised his head and looked at the torture instruments hanging on the wall at this time, and suddenly said in confusion: "Don't you think the torture hanging on the wall has any problems?"
"Yeah?" Guanyue looked around and asked in confusion: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, the walls here are almost all of them made of chains, and more importantly, they seem to have almost no rules."
"oh?"
"Could it be?" Chu Xunyu was startled, then waved his long sleeves, and all the torture instruments hanging on the walls around him fell down in response. In the darkness, it fell to the ground with a jingle sound, revealing the originally bare wall. Guan Yue looked at it again at this time, then took a breath and said strangely: "Is this?"
I saw that except for the east wall, all the torture instruments around the west, south and north sides were nailed on the west, south and north sides. Only the east wall had rings, and the torture instruments were hung on them, and they were all concentrated in the middle.
Chu Xunyu nodded and said, "It's true."
"What does Brother Chu mean?"
"This is the 'Nine-Ring Kong Ming Lock'." Chu Xunyu replied softly.
"What? Kongming Lock?"
"Yes, it's Kong Ming Lock that formed this wall." Chu Xunyu showed a clear smile.
"Nine Kung Ming Lock!" Guan Yue remembered that this Kong Ming Lock was created by Zhuge Kongming, a wise saint of the Three Kingdoms period. It did not require nailing nails, but leaning against the concave and convex surfaces that penetrated inside, making the six pillars fit each other seamlessly. Later, after the improvement of later generations, it became nine kids, which was just a folk children's toy.
But the wall is extremely flat, and with just a few iron rings, how can it be said to be Kong Ming Lock? Chu Xunyu looked at Guan Yue's eyes and smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Guan Yue, please see." After that, he bent down and pushed hard with his hands. He saw a huge rock in the lower right corner making a "buzz" sound, and he went deeper into it.
Guanyue understood as soon as she looked at it. At that moment, together with Chu Xunyu, after just a few breaths, all the stones that could be pushed into the wall were pushed in. After pushing it, the room was deeply penetrated, and only a few people saw nine Kongming locks that were more than one person tall appeared. Only the side of the four pillars was embedded tightly on the wall, and the other five sides were all hanging in the air.
Guan Yue said: "Is that true? It seems that if you don't remove this lock, you won't be able to open the exit."
"Yes," Chu Xunyu nodded: "There is a ring at both ends of each pillar. It seems that the chain torture tool can be hung on it for easy dragging."
Guanyue took a foot hook and hung it on it, saying, "Since that's the case, time cannot be delayed for a moment. I'll ask Brother Chu for advice."
"Huh?" Chu Xunyu couldn't help but feel angry after hearing this. Why didn't he even play Kong Mingsuo? This is a game for a folk child. It seems that this person was sent to practice as soon as he was born and had never been exposed to anything like this.
Chu Xunyu shook his head, shook his mind away, and said, "Fellow Daoist Guanyue, you and I will hang up the chain of punishment, push and pull at the same time, remove the lock pillar and open it."
"The lower left one, one third downward." Chu Xunyu said with a wave of his hand.
Guan Yue hangs a chain of pipa chains on the pillar below, with one force, so heavy! This is Guan Yue's first impression, and it is not vague at the moment. With one move, the demonic energy flips, and pulls down one-third of the way down. Chu Xunyu shouts: "Stop." Standing on the right, with both hands, "slam", the chain shakes, and the sword energy in the whole body rushes, pulling the first of the three upper points on the right, shouting: "Push me!"
Guanyue pushed his hands and saw the stone pillar with heavy breathing sound, "squeaking", bringing a burst of dust slowly into the air, and finally fell to the ground with a "boom".
At this time, through the opening of the hole, Chu Xunyu could see Guan Yue's face in the dim fire. His eyes passed through the opening, and he looked at Guan Yue's face with a gloomy feeling. Chu Xunyu couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if he had remembered something.
At this time, Guan Yue was opposite and asked strangely: "Why are Brother Chu?"
This sentence interrupted Chu Xunyu's thoughts, and Chu Xunyu said seriously: "Okay, let's continue, let's pull the downward stone pillar upwards just now and back to its original position."
"Huh?" Guan Yue was confused. At this time, Chu Xunyu had to explain: "The secret of these nine Kongming locks is that they have no nails or cords, and they all rely on movement. Therefore, it is normal to go back and forth."
Guan Yue couldn't, so he had to get up and jump to the top, pull the chain, and once again, his body was full of demonic energy, and he pulled back the starting one with difficulty. Chu Xunyu looked at Guan Yue's troublesome look, and suddenly felt a little funny in his heart, but it was still a big question what material these stone pillars were made of.
After saying that, Chu Xunyu pulled out his black, extremely long ancient sword. Under the dark light, the bell sound shook and cut off a corner of the stone pillar. Chu Xunyu sighed and thought: Why, can't he resist this sword in the end?
Immediately afterwards, he took back the sword and put a small piece cut from the stone pillar into his sleeve. Chu Xunyu said seriously: "Here I turn the pillar connected to the wall down, then we can see the back of the wall." After saying that, he pointed with his hand, and the upper left corner of the four pillars on the front.
Guanyue jumped down and, together with Chu Xunyu, pulled down the pillar he pointed to with his hands. Unfortunately, things were not as good as the two of them thought. Although there was a gap in the upper left corner connected to the end of the wall, it only revealed a shallow slurry and did not see the other side.
Chu Xunyu said seriously: "It seems that we have to remove all of this before we can find out the secrets."
"Yeah, I have to do this." Although Guanyue was anxious, she couldn't.
Next, Chu Xunyu and Guan Yue struggled to remove the nine Kongming locks. When the last stone pillar landed on the ground, the wall finally slowly opened a small gap in the darkness with the sound of an old man's breathing.
As soon as the gap opened, a strong smell of blood came out. Guanyue's face changed and she said in surprise: "No, the smell of blood seems to be fresh. My lady, I may change!" After that, she turned over and went in.
Chu Xunyu was shocked and then turned in. As soon as he turned over and in, he smelled the bloody smell, which made people vomit. At this time, he was about to speak when he suddenly saw something on the left wall of the entrance, so he stretched out the fire slash and looked at it, was startled, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Guanyue, is this?"
Guanyue then turned her head in confusion, looked over, her face changed again, and said, "This is the handwriting of my lady."
I saw two beautiful fonts written on the wall with this undried blood: "Kongshu!"
