treasure hunter

Although he defeated the five bronze men, Pei Miao still had to marvel at Gongshuban's uncanny craftsmanship. Although these bronze men were not made by Gongshuban, they were also masterpieces of his descendants. It was Gongshuban who created this miraculous He is the first of its kind, and only his descendants can have such skills.

For example, Genghis Khan unified the desert and laid a solid military foundation, so that his descendants could conquer the north and south and conquer the huge territory of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, some emperors of the Yuan Dynasty conquered a territory larger than that of Genghis Khan. , but when it comes to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the first thing people think of is Cheng Jisi Khan, which is the power of the ancestors.

Pei Miao inspected the bronze figures carefully, and couldn't help but marvel at the complex and miraculous internal structure, which he couldn't understand at all. However, the swords in these bronze figures' hands were very good, it was a rare sword, and the iron was a little dirty. Made of other metals, the surface is faintly purple, and the blade is tempered into fine steel. The most important thing is that this sword has gone through so many years, and there is no trace of rust. It can be seen through the Quanshen Domain that on the surface of this sword, There is a very thin layer of metal coating, which is the secret of the sword not rusting after 2000 years.

Considering that he didn't know what dangers he would encounter later, Pei Miao forcibly pried open the fingers of a bronze man, took the sword from his hand, and then unsheathed the sword around the bronze man's waist, put the sword in The sheath fits perfectly, and it really is a sword.

Pei Miao put the sword behind her back and continued walking.

Walking forward for another two or three minutes, the bluestone road is gone, and the stone statues on both sides are gone. In front of it is a large karst cave passage. The ground on both sides of the karst cave is full of exotic flowers and plants, even if there is no sunlight here. , These flowers and plants can actually grow as usual.

Pei Miao walked into the cave and walked along the cave. The cave was very long and winding. The ground was covered with moss and was very slippery. After walking in the cave for a while, he suddenly heard a sound behind him. The sound was so familiar. .

The next moment, he exclaimed: "It's the voice of the bronze man!"

When he fought against the bronze men just now, he knew very well that these bronze men would make a lot of noise when they acted. Now, how could he not be surprised when the sound came from behind.

Pei Miao hurriedly turned around, and the moment he turned around, countless torches suddenly lit up on the cave walls on both sides of the cave, with torches every two meters, completely illuminating the inside of the cave. They rushed towards Pei Miao, one of them didn't have a sword in his hand.

"How is that possible!" Pei Miao exclaimed when he saw this. He had seen the internal clockwork of these bronze men with his whole body. They, but these five bronze men are so heavy, who can help them, lift them up and sit on those rotating iron bars.

It was too late for Pei Miao to think too much, because the five bronze men were running very fast, and they were about to reach Pei Miao.

Pei Miao didn't want to go head-to-head with them, so she ran forward. Anyway, these five bronze men are powered by clockwork, so it's enough to waste their time with them. Once the power of their clockwork is exhausted, everything will be fine.

While running, Pei Miao thought of another strange thing. When were there so many torches planted on the wall of the cave? He didn't see any torches on the road, and the most difficult thing for him to understand was how these torches were suddenly lit, and all the torches were lit at the same time, which was incredible.

Pei Miao kept running forward full of doubts. The more he ran, the more frightened he became. The cave was too long, and it was unimaginably long. What surprised him even more was that there were torches on the walls of the cave along the way. , and all the torches were lit, like street lights, illuminating all the way.

However, soon, Pei Miao discovered something was wrong again. These bronze men had been chasing him for a long time. According to the experience just now, the springs of these bronze men should have run out of power long ago, but The five bronze men are still chasing, without slowing down at all.

Pei Miao's brows were furrowed for many strange things, but now that he was running for his life, he didn't think about it so much, so he could only continue to run forward.

Finally, the cave came to an end, but there was a cliff outside the cave, and a dark abyss below, but there was a platform three meters ahead, and Pei Miao didn't know where this platform was connected, because the light coming from the cave It can barely reach the platform.

It's only three meters away, and it's easy to jump over with just a run-up. Pei Miao plans to jump over.

However, at the critical moment, Pei Miao's heart throbbed, and a sense of crisis swept over his body. This is the passive skill of Butian Jie, which can sense danger.

Pei Miao slammed on the brakes and barely stopped at the entrance of the cave, her feet were only 20 centimeters away from the edge of the cliff.

Looking at the opposite platform, Pei Miao frowned and reminded himself of the danger, what's going on?

The voice of the bronze man in the back was getting closer and closer. Pei Miao recalled all the strange things before, and suddenly a layer of cold sweat oozed from his back. He finally realized what was going on.

Five bronze men had already arrived in front of Pei Miao, one bronze man waved his fist, and the other four bronze men brandished swords, attacking Pei Miao at the same time.

Facing their attack, Pei Miao stood motionless and even closed his glasses. The moment he closed his eyes, all five bronze men disappeared.

After a long time, Pei Miao slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the surroundings were pitch black, there were no torches at all, and there were no bronze figures at all. In front of him, there was indeed a cliff, but there was no platform at all three meters away. If he jumped over it, he would fall into the abyss and die without a doubt.

"It's a hallucination." Pei Miao's expression was serious, and his breath became heavier after running for a long time and fear.

Pei Miao turned her head to look at the flowers and plants on both sides of the cave, and she could roughly guess that the smell from these flowers and plants should make her hallucinate.

Fortunately, Pei Miao's mental power is very strong. As long as he finds that he has entered an illusion, he can dispel the illusion on his own. As long as he is on guard, the hallucinations of these flowers and plants will not work on him.

He recalled the illusion just now, and discovered the law of the illusion. The illusion is generated according to the subconscious mind. Whatever the subconscious is worried about, what will happen, and what the subconscious wants, there will be.

When he was inspecting the internal structure of the bronze man just now, he subconsciously felt that the fly in the ointment of these bronze men was that the power source was too poor, otherwise they would be perfect. Sure enough, in his illusion, the perfect bronze man appeared.

The cave was dark, and Pei Miao subconsciously hoped that there would be something to illuminate the cave, so in his fantasy, countless torches appeared on the cave wall, like street lamps, illuminating the cave all the way.

As for the platform, it was the same. He subconsciously hoped to escape the pursuit of these bronze men, so the escape platform appeared in the illusion.

But the escape platform in this environment almost killed Pei Miao.

Pei Miao stood on the spot, took a few breaths of relief, and his pounding heart finally calmed down. Next, he began to use his full attention to check the edge of the cave. Logically speaking, this cave should not be a dead end, it should be a dead end. You can continue to move forward, otherwise why would you build a bluestone road leading to this cave.

He used his whole mind to look around, and sure enough, he found the mechanism. At the bottom of the cave wall, there was a protruding stone hidden among the flowers and plants. It was very inconspicuous. This stone was where the mechanism was located.

Pei Miao walked over and wanted to press the stone with his hands and push it in. It was very difficult, so Pei Miao could only push with all his strength.

The stone was slowly pushed in, and finally heard a click, and it was in place.

Then, Pei Miao heard the sound of friction between stones in the endless darkness in front of him. This sound should be the sound of the mechanism starting.

After a while, a stone bridge stretched out from the opposite side, connecting with the cave.

Pei Miao stepped onto the stone bridge and walked forward. The stone bridge is very short, only a dozen meters long, and it will soon come to an end.

At the end of the walk is a large platform. Behind the platform is a bronze door covered with verdant green. This bronze door is about three meters high and nearly two meters wide. There are words on the door.

The door on the right says "Temple of the Candle Dragon" and the door on the left says "Trespasser Death".

"Candle Dragon Temple?" Seeing this, Pei Miao frowned slightly, carefully recalling the information about Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon is a divine animal in Chinese mythology, also known as Zhuyin and Zhujiuyin. It is said that it opens its eyes for day and closes its eyes for night.

"Shan Hai Jing Dahuang Bei Jing" records: "Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain. There is a god, with a human face and a snake body, red, with straight eyes and straight eyes. Its eyes are dark, and its vision is bright. You can't eat and sleep, and the wind and rain are always there. It's Zhu Jiuyin, it's Zhu Long."

"Shan Hai Jing Hai Hai Bei Jing" records: "The god of Zhongshan, named Zhu Yin, regards it as day, closes it as night, blows it as winter, calls it summer, does not drink, does not eat, does not rest, and breathes as wind. He is thousands of miles long. .In the east of Wu? It is a thing, with a human face, a snake body, red color, and it lives under Zhongshan."

Obviously, the information about Candle Dragon in Pei Miao's memory can't provide much help. What's famous in this Candle Dragon Palace, you have to go in and have a look to find out.

Pei Miao inspected the bronze door with all his attention. It was about 8 centimeters thick, and there was no topping stone and no bolt behind it. Logically speaking, it could be opened.

But such a big and thick bronze door must be extremely heavy, and it may be difficult to push it open.

He had to try. Pei Miao chose the door on the right, pushed the door with both hands, and started exerting force with his feet forward and backward. As soon as he exerted force, the bronze door was actually pushed. Pei Miao was a little surprised. Does this door have bearings, so silky smooth?Can you push yourself?

He continued to exert force, and the door moved a little more. Pei Miao had to sigh, the manufacturing process of this door was too awesome, it was still so silky smooth after nearly 2000 years.

Pei Miao exerted force again and again, and after a few minutes, he finally pushed the door open by a gap of thirty or forty centimeters. He felt that this was enough, so he slipped in through the gap.

After entering, he first used the Quanshen Domain to look around. He found that this was a man-made passage, which was very regular. There were braziers on the walls on both sides of the passage, and there seemed to be oil in the brazier.

It happened that the brazier was not very high, so Pei Miao groped around for a while, and found out the lighter, tried to light it up, and it would light up, so he lifted the lighter and ignited the oil in the brazier.

With a sound of "huh", flames sprang up from the brazier, illuminating the surroundings. This is not over yet, the brazier is actually connected to a very long metal drainage trough, extending forward from the wall, leading to the next brazier, in the drainage trough There is oil.

After Pei Miao lit the first brazier, the flames burned all the way along the drainage channel, rushing forward like a fire dragon, one after another the braziers were lit, and the roar of the flames was endless.

In an instant, the entire passage was illuminated, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance. Pei Miao was stunned, this Candle Dragon Palace... something.

Pei Miao was very curious as to what kind of oil these oils were. After so many years, they were not volatile. He carefully studied the composition of these oils and found that they seemed to be animal fats. However, they were different from the animal fats he had seen before. It's different, even if you use fire to burn animal fat, it will not burn, but these oils are like gasoline, they will burn when they are close to the flame.

There is also a row of braziers and drainage troughs on the other wall, but Pei Miao doesn't intend to light this row of braziers. Oxygen is needed for combustion. If all the oxygen here is consumed, he will be done for.

Pei Miao walked along the aisle. The aisle was really long. He walked for 5 minutes and hit the head. It was a huge pit, bigger than several football fields put together.

Above is a huge dome, with tree root chains hanging from the dome, and a huge brazier hanging from it. The flames in the brazier have been ignited, and there are also small braziers around the dome, completely illuminating the place, looking at the huge deep pit, Pei Miao's hair stood on end in an instant, and her back felt cold. The huge pit was full of bones.

Or, it would be more accurate to call this pit a sea of ​​corpses.

Pei Miao thought she was a brave man with a high level of art, but seeing such a scene, she was still a little overwhelmed.

It took a long time before Pei Miao forcibly stabilized his mind. He tried his best to control himself not to look at these bones, or even to think about them.

In the middle of the deep pit, there was a circular platform, just below the big brazier, and there was a suspension bridge under Pei Miao's feet, leading to that platform.

Pei Miao stabilized his mind, stepped onto the suspension bridge, looked straight ahead, and walked towards the platform. He saw something on the platform, which seemed to be a coffin. Judging by the color, it seemed to be golden.

The suspension bridge is very long. After all, the pit is too big. The further Pei Miao moved forward, the clearer he could see it. It was indeed a tripod. It was shining golden, and it was most likely made of gold.

Finally, Pei Miao stepped on the platform with one foot.

As soon as he stepped on the stage, he felt a powerful force covering the entire stage, Pei Miao was shocked, this familiar force was the power of the dragon, Pei Miao couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is actually Dragon Den!"

In an instant, he also understood why this place is called the Candle Dragon Temple, perhaps it has something to do with the dragon veins.

At this moment, above the huge brazier, on a long, pointed stone in the shape of an awl, something twisted and squirmed, raised its giant head, and looked down at Pei Miao.
