Standing next to the stone statue, Yang Shouwen carefully looked at the square outside the gate of the underground palace.●⌒,

In the square, the lights are brightly lit.

Twenty-four bonfires were burning, and the firelight made the entire square particularly transparent. Logically speaking, it was at least ten meters underground. Burning so many bonfires would make the air thinner. But Yang Shouwen did not feel difficult to breathe, and it can be seen from the flames of those bonfires that the air here seemed to be very smooth.

In other words, there are vents in this underground palace?

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen looked up at the top of the underground palace and saw countless stone stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave, unevenly apart, like a ferocious monster in the firelight, which made people feel inexplicably frightened.

This underground palace seems to be not right!

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor.

A woman walked in surrounded by a group of people and headed straight to the gate of the underground palace.

‘Su Wei’ turned around and bowed to the woman, “Miss Gan, it’s almost done!”

"Mr. Real Man, Ji Wen is gone!"

"ah?"

Mrs. Gan lowered her voice and said, "Jiwen said she was going to go out for inspection before, so I asked Gan Li to accompany him. But he has not been seen until now, including Gan Li, who has lost contact. I suspect there may be a problem and have sent someone to search out of the valley."

‘Su Wei’s face changed, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

"What should I do?"

"It will be opened in advance. I'm worried that the spies from the government will sneak into the valley."

‘Su Wei’ nodded and said in a deep voice: “Since that’s the case, let’s start immediately.”

The two whispered, and outsiders couldn't listen to what they said, let alone Yang Shouwen and Ming Shisan, who were relatively far away.

However, they also realized something was wrong, so they subconsciously peeked in the direction of the corridor.

At the entrance of the corridor, there are more than a dozen Annan warriors guards. If they rush over like this, they may lose their lives.

what to do?

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but look at Ming Shisan.

"Be careful later. If something happens, remember to follow me and don't panic."

Ming Shisan lowered his voice and then quietly took two steps back.

Yang Shouwen did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly followed Ming Shisan to retreat. At this moment, the "Su Wei" in front of the gate rushed all the Annan people in the square and prepared to order actions.

He spoke the language of the Tang Dynasty, and obviously he was not very proficient in Annan dialect.

These Annan people do not understand Chinese and need to translate it from Niangzi. Yang Shouwen and Ming Shisan are hidden in the shadows at the end of the crowd. They do not need to listen to Niangzi's translation, so they also have the time to observe the surrounding environment.

"The twenty-four stone statues on both sides correspond to the twenty-four masters of the Five Doks of Rice Sect.

The entire underground palace square was built in the direction of the parish under the Five Dok Rice Cult back then, so we need to put twenty-four statues on their positions later. I have marked these twenty-four positions clearly. Remember the titles of their respective capitals, and then follow my orders and return the twenty-four capitals to their positions in turn."

"Su Wei" tried his best to make the statement clear. But the Five Dogs of Rice Sect and the Twenty-Four Dugongs are obviously very unfamiliar to the Annan people.

Fortunately, there was a translation by Gan Niangzi and Su Wei on the side to explain, which would not make everyone confused.

The statues belonging to Yang Shouwen and the Thirteenth Ming Dynasty are Hemingshan Dugong, which belongs to the twenty-four governances of the Five Dogs of Rice and the Eight Treatments.

"The Five Dogs of Rice Disciplines are divided into twenty-four treatments, and there are also theories of the upper eight treatments, the middle eight treatments and the lower eight treatments.

Hemingshan Dugong is the capital of Hemingshan Dugong in Shangbazhili. It ranks third. Follow me later, don’t panic.”

Ming Shisan whispered in Yang Shouwen's ear, but for some reason, Yang Shouwen's heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"What the hell is going on?"

He vaguely felt that Ming Shisan seemed to be hiding something from him.

Ming Shisan smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't be afraid, remember to follow me later, don't do anything randomly."

Her smile makes people feel unfathomable.

But Yang Shouwen's feelings became worse and worse... He suddenly felt that he had fallen into someone's plan.

"Everyone hurry up and follow the command."

With the order from Gan Madam, the people of Annan dispersed one after another.

Ming Shisan pulled Yang Shouwen and came to the stone statue of Hemingshan Dugong.

About dozens of people stood beside the stone statue, looking at their dress, they should be refugees recruited by Niang Gan and the others.

"Beijing Dugong, No. 12 left bonfire."

‘Su Wei’ shouted loudly, and Gan Madam was translating loudly.

The Annan people waved their swords and guns, urging the refugees to move the huge stone statues and move towards the bonfire.

Boom, the stone statues and the ground made a huge sound, accompanied by the shouts of those refugees.

"Yuju Dugong, right bonfire No. 6."

"Pingbu Shandugong, the second right bonfire."

“…”

Su Wei's shouts continued, and Madam Gan's voice echoed him even more.

boom!

As the first stone statue returned to his position, Yang Shouwen heard a muffled sound from the underground palace, and the ground seemed to be trembling slightly.

"Beijingdu has returned to his position."

Ming Shisan whispered, staring at Su Wei and Madam Gan, and a strange look flashed.

Yang Shouwen was curious as he watched the stone statue moving slowly in the underground palace. While his heart was throbbing, he was also a little curious.

The stone statues moved. Although the scene was a bit chaotic, they were under the control of Niang Niangzi and others.

"Hemingshan Dugong, No. 10th Bonfire on the left."

The Annan people who had been waiting for the orders intently immediately waved their swords and directed the refugees to act.

Ming Shisan and Yang Shouwen were also mingling in the crowd, pretentiously directing, and slowly moving the stone statue to the designated position.

"Be careful when both Yangping and Lutangshan return to their position later."

Ming Shisan whispered in Yang Shouwen's ear, but Yang Shouwen was a little distracted and nodded instinctively.

The tremor of the underground palace became more and more obvious, and from the top of the cave, there were strange sounds, like ghosts crying and howling.

"Ming Shisan, do you understand these?"

"A little bit of it."

“Are they doing the right thing?”

Ming Shisan said: "So far, it's still correct."

"Wouldn't that mean... they can open the gate of the underground palace?"

Ming Shisan did not answer, but only smiled at Yang Shouwen and said softly: "Whether you can open the underground palace gate depends on their fortune."

What's the meaning?

Yang Shouwen's ominous feeling became stronger and stronger.

Hemingshan Dugong successfully reached the top position. Only then did Yang Shouwen see clearly that next to the campfire, there was a raised pier, which was only about ten centimeters high. The Annan people next to him shouted loudly, and some even waved their whips to beat the refugees. The refugees struggled to lift the huge stone statue and slowly placed it on the pier.

Accompanied by the Annan people's shouts, the refugees let go.

With a bang, when the Dugong stone statue fell on the pier-like object, the raised stone pier obviously sank downwards.

organ!

Yang Shouwen finally understood the mystery.

There is a magical mechanism hidden in this underground palace square, which is also the key to opening the underground palace gate.

At this time, the underground palace trembled even more and more intensely, and two stone stalactites fell off the top of the cave and fell down. Several refugees who could not dodge were hit on the ground by the stone stalactites and kept wailing. However, at this time, no one paid attention to them.

An indescribable look of joy appeared on the faces of Gan Niangzi and Su Wei.

"Hurry up, hurry up... return Yangping Dugong and Lutangshan Dugong."

They shouted loudly and urged, obviously a little impatient.

I heard a boom, two dull sounds, and with the last two stone statues returning to their positions, the underground palace vibrated even more violently...

After the twenty-four masters returned to their positions, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground of the underground palace.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of mercury-like liquid gushed out of the crack and quickly flowed towards the gate of the underground palace along the crack.

One of the two refugees was accidentally sprayed on their bodies by the liquid.

Only a series of screams were heard, and the liquid seemed to have strong corrosion and toxicity. The limbs of the two refugees were quickly melted and they fell to the ground and screamed. Yang Shouwen was shocked when he saw it. He was about to go up to help, but was grabbed by Ming Shisan.

"Don't move around."

"But……"
