"Is this...a tomb or a paradise? The white jade arch bridge is so beautiful, and the palaces and pavilions behind it are so domineering, domineering and mysterious!" Chen'er looked ahead and couldn't help but murmured.

Yang Ruoqing was also shocked when she saw it, "There is a small bridge and flowing water in this house, and there is also a big willow tree. Tsk tsk, we must have stumbled into some Taoist monk's mansion by mistake, right?"

After Luo Fengtang experienced the initial shock, he began to re-examine his surroundings.

The more he looked, the deeper the confusion in his eyes became.

There is a lifeless atmosphere here, and there is an indescribable sense of depression. People who have walked through the bloody storm have a different perception of danger than ordinary people.

In the silence, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at the four of them.

"To be able to build such a magnificent three-story attic in such a steep place at the bottom of the mountain, like a palace, with a white jade arch bridge built in front of the palace, the owner of this tomb is unique, and he is definitely of high status!" Luo Fengtang said.

The other three people nodded.

"Anyway, everyone, be careful, there is something weird in this place." He said.

eccentric?

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but pay attention.

"I know what's wrong." She said suddenly.

"There is no water under the white jade arch bridge, it seems to have dried up, and the willow tree next to the palace is too big, with lush branches and leaves. This season is late autumn, and the willow trees outside are all dry, and the leaves are either yellow or curled, but it is still sunshine and rain.

When there is plenty of it, but look at how good this willow tree grows, this is also weird!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang and Zuo Junmo both nodded.

"There is no tomb or cave dome visible from above. I guess this should be a secluded place in the valley, and the small palace in front should be the core of this place." Zuo Junmo said.

The image of a huge golden coffin with a few iron chains as thick as a child's arms flashed across Yang Ruoqing's mind. She couldn't help but get excited. She was so excited and nervous that she couldn't help but hold her hands down.

waist.

The cold blade of Moye Sword calmed down her excitement a little.

"Brother Zuo, what's next?" she asked.

Zuo Junmo retracted his gaze from all directions, raised his hand and pointed directly at the three-story palace in front of him: "Of course we went in."

"good!"

Luo Fengtang pulled out the long sword in his hand, strode forward, and led the way.

Chen'er followed closely behind, Zuo Junmo guarded Chen'er's side, and Yang Ruoqing followed at the back.

The white jade arch bridge was very short. When crossing the arch bridge, Yang Ruoqing took a special look under the arch bridge.

It was pitch black and silent underneath.

I don’t know if there was water flowing underneath when this place was first built. Anyway, many years have passed and the bottom has long dried up.

It's just that after hundreds of years, this white jade arch bridge is very clean. The white jade is flawless and dust-free, as if...it seems like someone specially takes care of it every day.

"Brother Zuo!" Yang Ruoqing suddenly called out softly to Zuo Junmo who was walking in front of her.

Zuo Junmo stopped and turned his head: "What's wrong with Qing'er?"

"Brother Zuo, do you think there is a tombkeeper in this ancient tomb?" she asked curiously.

There are tomb-keepers in the imperial tombs, so will there be tomb-keepers here as well?

Zuo Junmo pondered for a moment and said: "The tomb guard may be a human being, or it may be another species."

Other species?

Yang Ruoqing swallowed secretly and placed her fingers tighter on the Mo Xie sword at her waist.

No matter what species it is, it’s just a fight!

The four of them passed the white jade arch bridge calmly, climbed the steps and came straight to the front of the three-story attic.

"The terrain here is high and the view is wide. Look, the entrance of the cave we just came down is on the cliff opposite!" Yang Ruoqing raised her finger and pointed to the opposite side and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, lights suddenly came on in the originally dark attic behind him.

Chen'er was slightly startled and took a step back.

"There's someone inside!" he said, subconsciously trying to pull out the short blade inserted in his boots.

Luo Fengtang raised his hand to hold Chen'er's shoulder: "Don't panic, this is also a kind of mechanism. The arrival of a stranger's breath will trigger the mechanism inside and light up the everlasting lamp."

"Eternal light?" Chen'er opened her eyes wide.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Yes, it is an exaggeration to say that some everlasting lamps will last for thousands of years, but the kerosene inside is made from the grease of dragon fish, and it is still possible that it can continue to burn for hundreds or thousands of years."

Chen'er nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little ashamed.

After living in the East China Sea for seven years, he didn't even know that there were dragon fish in the East China Sea. He always thought that the dragon fish was just a legendary fish species...

Zuo Junmo also came over.

He looked around, and his eyes fell on the big willow tree with green willow ribbons hanging down by the hall again, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Zuo, what's wrong with you? Why do you always look at that big willow tree?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Zuo Junmo said: "I always feel that the willow tree is weird, but I can't explain why."

Yang Ruoqing touched her chin and looked at the big willow tree standing quietly, guarding the palace like a loyal guard.

"Everything here is weird. If it wasn't weird, it wouldn't be possible here. Anyway, let's just be careful." Yang Ruoqing said.

Everyone nodded.

Chen'er said: "Uncle Zuo, let's go in then? I found that the door is not locked!"

Luo Fengtang said: "This door has a lock, not an exposed lock, but a hidden lock."

Hidden lock?

As a descendant of the Mo family, his ancestors have been dealing with traps for generations. Zuo Junmo suddenly became excited when he heard this.

"Let me take a look!" he said, so he came to the door of the palace and looked at it carefully.

Yang Ruoqing also pulled Chen'er over.

Sure enough, Zuo Junmo groped around, and a strange-looking lock appeared on the facade that didn't seem to be there at first.

No wonder Chen'er said earlier that the door was unlocked. Indeed, the secret lock was engraved and embedded in the door in a relief pattern, just like a secret door on the wall. If you don't touch it, you will never find it again.

There is actually a door on the wall.

"Brother Zuo, have you seen this lock?" Luo Fengtang asked Zuo Junmo.

Zuo Junmo stroked the lock inch by inch with his fingers, and his fingertips were trembling slightly.

"I have never seen this lock in real life, but I have seen a picture on the yellowed pages of my family's ancestral secret book. This kind of lock is called 'Thunder-piercing Three-Slap Lock'. Unexpectedly, this kind of lock has been lost for a long time.

Hundreds of years of lock art can be found here, and you can even touch it with your own hands!"

Changing from his usual calmness, Zuo Junmo's voice was a little trembling at the moment, with excitement, agitation, and other things.

"This name is so strange." Yang Ruoqing said.

Do you want to slap this lock three times? You might as well kick it three times. The person who dared to design this lock is a masochist!

"Brother Zuo, can you open this lock?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Zuo Junmo said: "The first time I touched..."

"there's noise!"

Chen'er suddenly interrupted the adults' conversation.
