Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

The four of them came to Qianji Pan again. This time, Bai Yutang's attack speed was dizzyingly fast, without any hesitation at all, as if he had practiced it millions of times before, he was so familiar with moving the required stone flakes, Qianji All the stone flakes on the plate were changing directions all the time under Bai Yutang's hands.

Gongsun on the side was a little surprised: "Can it really be cracked? I also thought about it all night yesterday, but I still have no idea. It is really difficult to get all the tens of thousands of stone flakes in the right direction... Bai Yutang is A genius, right? If Old Man Shenji knew that someone could crack the Thousand Machine Disk that he is so proud of so easily, he would probably jump out of the coffin screaming."

Zhan Zhao pressed his dizzy eyes and asked Gongsun, "However, even if the thousand machine disks are activated, how can we ensure that the path to the underground labyrinth is correct?"

Gongsun smiled, cast a sidelong glance at Bai Jintang next to him, and said coldly: "I have to thank his elder brother, so~ I took out the Yellow Stone of Tianxuandi a long time ago, it really saves us a lot of time!"

Bai Jintang at the side pretended not to hear, coughed lightly, and continued to watch Bai Yutang crack the thousand machine disk in a serious manner.

Zhan Zhao naturally knew that Gongsun was complaining that Bai Jintang had the Tianxuandi Huangshi on his body, but he had to take it out after a day. Thinking of what his elder brother said, the Tianxuandi Huangshi was like the handle to open the door, Zhan Zhao suddenly realized: " Can it be verified by those two stones?"

Gongsun nodded: "With Bai Yutang's ability, he should be able to find the hidden compartment."

Just as he was talking, he saw that there were two more holes on the Qianji plate at some point, Bai Yutang smiled lightly, took out the yellow stone from Tianxuan and put it in, then turned it slightly, within a short while, the Qianji plate opened up!

Gongsun couldn't help sighing: "What a skill!"

Zhan Zhao felt strange, he was used to Gongsun scolding people, Gongsun boasting, it really is going to rain red!This rat is really capable!

Bai Yutang looked into the opened Thousand Machines Disk for a while, and knew that this was the entrance to the underground labyrinth, so he took a locust rock, flicked it lightly, and it slid past with a "swish", sparks wiped out, Then I lit up the permanent lamps inside, and the bottom of the permanent lamps should be connected, so only one lamp was lit, and the latter ones were fully lit one after another.

In an instant, the dark underground labyrinth became brighter.

At this time, Master Zhou, who had been watching not far away, came over. He didn't care at first, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the fastest I have ever seen to open this thousand machine disk, but even if the previous people It was opened, and in the end, I was still trapped in this maze..." As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the two stones embedded in the disk, and his expression changed, "This...where did you get the Yellowstone from the Profound Sky and Earth?"

Bai Yutang didn't like the guy surnamed Zhou very much, so he didn't answer, but said to Gongsun, "Mr. Gongsun, I need your help with something."

Gongsun was looking in there carefully, when he suddenly heard Bai Yutang say something to him, he looked towards Bai Yutang: "What's the matter?"

Bai Yutang said: "Mr. Gongsun, please help me to draw the maze picture on the thousand machine disk?"

Gongsun nodded: "Of course...but, when do you plan to go in?"

Bai Yutang glanced at the ever-burning lamp inside: "We need to wait for the candle to burn for a while, otherwise people will easily suffocate when entering... By the way, I will go in alone later, bro, you watch outside."

Gongsun frowned and said, "No, we don't know how dangerous this maze is. It's too dangerous for you alone, just in case..."

"I'll go in with Yutang."

When they turned their heads, they saw Zhan Zhao's worried face.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Mao'er, you don't know the magic of tricks, and it will be difficult to deal with it once you get in. It's easier for me to escape by myself."

Zhan Zhao said: "If I don't understand, you can teach me, but I will never let you sink into the whole thing by yourself."

When Bai Yutang heard Zhan Zhao's words, he felt his heart warm for no reason, but the danger of this underground labyrinth is unknown, and he didn't want the cat to encounter any danger. Just as he was about to refute, he heard Zhan Zhao suddenly say: " Yutang, if it were me, and you were left alone, would you be willing?"

Bai Yutang thought for a moment, if he were Zhan Zhao, he would never allow him to break into that lair's lair alone. Does this cat actually have the same thoughts as himself?So he didn't say anything anymore, it was a tacit consent that Zhan Zhao would enter with him, but he still firmly told Zhan Zhao to obey his own orders after entering, and never leave him within half a step.

Just thinking that Zhan Zhao and himself were going to go in together, Bai Yutang couldn't help explaining to Bai Jintang again: "Brother, when we go in later, you must not let anyone get close to this thousand machine disk, let alone let them change the stone pieces of this thousand machine disk. Direction, remember!"

Bai Jintang nodded: "I just said it so nonchalantly, why did you start to chatter as soon as you got together with this cat?"

This time Bai Yutang said in a very serious manner: "The stone flakes on this thousand machine disk are connected to the path of the underground labyrinth. Although I opened the thousand machine disk, if someone adjusts the direction of the stone flakes after I enter, The path in the maze will still be changed, and I can’t see how he changed it inside, so I can’t figure out the path inside, and then we really won’t be able to get out.”

Gongsun knew that Bai Yutang was concerned about Zhan Zhao's safety, otherwise he would not have said it so lightly when he planned to go in alone just now, so he said, "Don't worry, I will stay here and keep no one close." Luo, he glanced at the Zhou family master who was frowning beside him.

Bai Yutang nodded: "Mr. Trouble."

With Gongsun around, no matter how cynical my eldest brother is, there should be no big problem.

An hour later, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao took the map drawn by Gongsun and planned to enter the underground labyrinth. Before leaving, Bai Yutang glanced at the Zhou family master who had been staring at the few people not far away. He whispered to Gongsun: "Don't let him have a chance to do something."

Gongsun nodded.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao again, and smiled softly: "Cat, let's go."

Zhan Zhao slightly turned the Juque sword behind him, smiled and followed Bai Yutang into the entrance of the maze.

Once inside, Zhan Zhao glanced at the ever-burning lights and asked, "Will these lights go out?"

Bai Yutang nodded and said: "Yes, if the Qianji panel is closed for long enough, once the air inside is burned out, these permanent lights will automatically go out, but as long as they are turned on and lit, they will burn again."

Zhan Zhao said: "So we can also rely on this to know whether the air in the ground is enough, right?"

Bai Yutang laughed: "Mao'er, you're really smart."

Zhan Zhao paused for a moment, thinking that there is nothing to boast about being smart... But for some reason, even though he thought so, our Mr. Zhan began to feel complacent inside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Wan, fearing that the mouse would laugh at him, Zhan Zhao hurriedly rubbed his face, trying to keep calm.

The two walked according to the map drawn by Gongsun, and saw many bones on the side road, Zhan Zhao shook his head: "It seems that many people are really trapped to death here."

Bai Yutang said: "Actually, I'm more curious about whether they had their eyes gouged out when they died. Unfortunately, they are all bones, so I can't tell them apart. Cat, here, follow me closely."

Zhan Zhao caught up with Bai Yutang, and asked again: "According to what the eldest brother said, it is very likely that this strange ethnic group..." Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao suddenly scratched his head, and said a little annoyedly, "How could this be done?" I forgot to tell Mr. Gongsun about this matter, he is well-informed, and he may know which ethnic group is not necessarily."

……

"Eyes as a totem?" Gongsun thought for a while, then looked at Bai Jintang, "Are you talking about the Aruo clan?"

Bai Jintang's eyes lit up: "You know?"

Gongsun shook his head not sure: "I have read some fragments, which contain some rumors about the Aruo tribe, but they are not complete. I only know that people of this tribe respect the eyes, even after death, The eyes should also be enshrined to thank God for giving them eyes."

Bai Jintang smiled and said: "Sir, you are right. People from that clan would indeed do such things. Come to think of it, the clan I mentioned is the Aruo clan that you mentioned, Gongsun."

Gongsun frowned: "But the Aruo tribe has disappeared for a long time, so there are very few records about them. I remember they would gouge out the eyes of the dead and put them in sacred vessels, and worship them every day... As for what you said There are eyeballs in my mouth, but I haven’t seen it mentioned in the book.”

Bai Jintang smiled coldly: "I think the book also hides a lot of shady inside stories."

While the two were talking, they saw the eldest lady of the Zhou family come out with a dazed expression not far away, and murmured, "A Yu, my A Yu, where are you?"

Gongsun had never met Mrs. Zhou, so he asked Bai Jintang, "This is it?"

"Zhou Jin's first wife, it is said that she is suffering from heart failure."

Gongsun looked at the woman: "Frustrated? What about the Ayu she was talking about?"

"It should be their missing son." Bai Jintang frowned, and saw the woman walking towards them.

……

At that time, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had already walked a long way carefully. Because of the map and Bai Yutang's familiarity with various agencies, they traveled without any danger.After walking for a while, Bai Yutang suddenly turned his head and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, do you smell an unpleasant smell?"

Zhan Zhao said: "There is a smell, it seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

"It smells like rot."

"I think I know what it is." Zhan Zhao frowned, motioning Bai Yutang to look at another fork in the road.

Bai Yutang looked in the direction Zhan Zhao was pointing at, and saw a dead body lying upright there, which had begun to rot slowly.

"No wonder I couldn't find him, so he is here." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I just don't know how he got into this thousand machine disk?"

This corpse was exactly Bai Jinyang's companion, Ji Lengyan, whom they had been unable to find.

Bai Yutang brought Zhan Zhao to the side of the corpse, and saw that Ji Lengyan's corpse had already started to grow maggots, and white wriggling worms were crawling around from the empty eye sockets of the corpse, making Bai Yutang feel sick for no reason.

Zhan Zhao covered his mouth and nose, squatted down slightly to inspect Ji Lengyan's body for a while, got up after a while and said, "The technique is the same, the eyeballs were gouged out, one was stuffed in the mouth, and the other was gone."

Bai Yutang nodded: "It should have been thrown in after being killed. In this case, the murderer is very likely to be someone from the mansion."

Zhan Zhao nodded, feeling that something was wrong, so he squatted down and observed for a while: "Yutang, he should have been killed for a while, but don't you think it's a bit strange? It's a bit different from the previous corpses."

"how?"

"Do you remember? The corpses we saw before were all like mummy corpses, with all the blood on their bodies, but Ji Lengyan's corpse was not shriveled..."

Bai Yutang shook his head: "Cat, let's leave here first, and discuss it with Gongsun when we get back."

Zhan Zhao nodded, staying here is indeed useless, so he left with Bai Yutang.

……

On the other hand, Master Zhou saw his wife running out, so he chased after him. While blaming the butler for letting her out, he observed the expressions of Gongsun and Bai Jintang. Seeing that they were wary of him, he suddenly helped his wife to come In front of Gongsun: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Gongsun is the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. Since the dog disappeared, Zhuo Jing has suffered from heart failure. I have searched for famous doctors but have not seen it. I wonder if Mr. Gongsun can condescend to help Zhuo Jing take a look?"

Gongsun was taken aback for a moment, and said hello without even thinking about it.

Bai Jintang looked at Zhou Jin with an unkind expression, although he felt something was wrong, he didn't make a sound to stop him.

Gongsun took a step forward, and said to the woman: "Madam, can you let the student take a pulse first?"

The woman was still calling her child's baby name in a trance, Zhou Jin took her hand and handed it to Gongsun, but just as Gongsun was about to get a pulse, the woman suddenly became mad and opened Gongsun, Push hard again...

After all, Gongsun is a scholar, and he didn't have time to react. Fortunately, Bai Jintang who was beside him supported him so that he was not pushed down by the woman. It's just that the two of them never thought that after pushing Gongsun, the woman didn't stand up. Steady, unexpectedly fell on the thousand machine disk...

In an instant, the direction of the stone flakes on the Thousand Machine Disk was completely changed!

Gongsun said in surprise: "Oops! The path of Qianjipan has been changed!"
