Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 181 You thought it was over, but it was just the beginning
Tang Zheng has countless experiences in cracking dungeon mechanisms in games, but the most troublesome situation is that he is not given any chance to crack the mechanisms at all!
Because there is no mechanism at all.
The most common mechanisms in those copies, and also the ones that Tang Zheng has the most experience with, such as the "puzzle mechanism", "nine-square grid mechanism", "Huarong Road mechanism", "lock puzzle mechanism", etc., are all missing.
What lies before me is just a simple wall.
But this simplest wall is the biggest problem.
"Okay, then Master, tell me how to find that... that 'focus'. Let's do it together." Tang Xiaotang started playing with his sleeves.
"We really can't do this together." Tang Zheng shook his head and motioned for them to step back.
Ning Mo was the last one to retreat, because he had been knocking on the wall for a long time, and the conclusion he came to was that the entire wall was solid, and it didn't look like there was a way behind it.
Leng Zhan had retreated to the back to gather his strength. As soon as Tang Zheng opened his mouth, he would immediately attack and smash the wall.
Tang Zheng also knocked on the wall, but he didn't know the connection point - if he could find this connection point, things would be much easier. The connection point between the solid and hollow sounds must be the point of force.
However, as Ning Mo said, the entire wall that they could touch was solid.
Tang Zheng pushed hard at the edge, but it still didn't budge at all.
"Li Zhi and the others passed by... they passed by..." Tang Zheng recalled everything he had encountered before and after entering the mausoleum, and whispered, "Where is the focus?"
He searched the entire wall, trying to find some traces left by Li Zhi and the others, but there were none.
Lu Wantang is a very cautious person, not even a trace...
"No, it's impossible." Tang Zheng's fingers groped the wall and searched more carefully, but there was really not even a trace.
No matter how careful Lu Wantang was, it was impossible for him to leave no trace at all.
Tang Zheng could still vaguely see some traces they left along the way. Although not many, it was impossible that there were none at all.
The only reason that could explain why they left no traces was that... they had never been here! They had never seen or touched the wall in front of Tang Zheng and the others.
"They haven't touched this wall?" Tang Zheng muttered to himself, and Tang Xiaotang heard it.
Tang Xiaotang frowned immediately: "How is it possible that I haven't touched this wall?"
Unless Li Zhi and his companions entered one of the tombs, there was only one main road leading directly here.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Since Xu Qingyan said that we don't need to enter the tomb, then we definitely don't need to."
"But then they would definitely come here, and you said they didn't touch this wall..."
"No, it's entirely possible!" A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's lips.
"Uh... Master, what are you laughing at?"
"What if the wall we saw was not facing this way when Li Zhi and his team arrived just now, but... facing the back? Then we certainly can't see the wall where Li Zhi and his team left traces!" Tang Zheng laughed, "The absence of traces just proves that this wall can indeed be moved! Moreover, the central axis is probably in this wall..."
"In this wall?"
"Well, everyone step back. You see, the stairs leading down are only 20 to 30 steps behind us, and in front of this wall, where we just stood, there is a large flat area..."
"What you mean is that it's not just this wall that can be pushed, but... this entire area will rotate!" Jiang Wuyan understood what Tang Zheng meant.
"Yes, in this case, the focus should not be found on this wall, but... on the walls on both sides!"
Tang Zheng said as he walked to the side, tapping the wall step by step. Finally, he stopped at a node, gathered his star power, and kicked the wall...
Crash...
Tang Zheng originally thought that it would take a lot of strength. After all, there was such a heavy platform, ceiling and three thick walls. However, as soon as his force fell the wall, it was like pulling a lever, and the entire platform slowly rotated along the center point of the wall.
"Oh my god...the automatic revolving door of Xingyao Continent even has an automatic platform." Tang Zheng still didn't feel any star power fluctuations, which meant that this was a purely mechanical structure!
"It seems that we have to be careful next time... Even if we don't feel the star power , we must not take it lightly." Jiang Wuyan reminded.
As the entire platform rotated, a bright and glorious scene appeared inside, almost blinding all of their eyes.
Just as Xu Qingyan said, passing through this wall is the Underworld Palace!
Although the name of the Hades Palace is rather bad, the inside does not look like a cemetery at all. All the furnishings are full of the breath of life. Although there are no expensive things like purple gold and jewelry, just some tables, chairs, benches and daily furnishings, the more you look at it, the more you feel that it would be a shame if this spacious and bright place was not inhabited.
"But... we just went down so many steps... this underworld palace should be deep underground, but I see this light... looks like natural sunlight?"
"Borrowing sunlight in a mausoleum... doesn't it seem too unlike a cemetery?" Ning Mo felt that it was a bit abnormal.
From the moment they entered the cemetery until now, cleanliness and brightness were their only impressions.
As the stone platform moved deeper, they almost screamed out loud...
Because they saw a maid walking around inside!
But they immediately suppressed the scream - they saw the slide tracks on the ground again.
"The routes and movements of each maid are the same. They are carved out of stone..." Tang Xiaotang rubbed her eyes and looked for a long time before she could see clearly.
Tang Zheng was too exhausted to complain : "What the hell is this? A moving Terracotta Warrior?"
No, these are not the Terracotta Warriors.
This is a dynamic painting of a lady. There aren't many truly valuable things in the entire Hades Palace, but it seems to recreate some kind of life scene...
Moreover, it can be seen that the owner of this cemetery likes sunshine very much and is very clean.
"Aren't those with these characteristics usually women? And she is very similar to the girl from the Yaoshan tribe." Tang Zheng thought of the flower crown girl Hua Yingxiu from the Yaoshan tribe whom he knew before. The furnishings in her room and the type of maid she liked seemed very similar to this underworld palace.
The stone platform has slowly turned to the front, and the steps outside are almost invisible...
Tang Zheng turned around and asked Xu Qingyan, "Leng Xiangyuan's wife, could she be from the Yaoshan tribe? Looking at this Ming Palace, there is more than one person, it doesn't look like one... Hey, Xu Qingyan... Xu Qingyan? Xu Qingyan!"
He had just turned around and said half a sentence when he discovered that before the stone platform was turned straight, an invisible force suddenly appeared from somewhere, causing the sun star in his first life palace to stir uneasily.
Then, he saw Xu Qingyan being pushed out without any mercy by that force!
