Chapter 138: Mysterious Stone Gate! (Three updates for flowers)

  If he comes inside, minus the external evil energy and the mountain's reducing force, he should be able to detect what mechanism is at the bottom.

  However, he still saw the trigger mechanism of this big pit.

  Above this large pit are two swinging doors, the two doors are like a balance scale, no matter which side's weight exceeds the limit will trigger the mechanism to move, after the things on the door fall into the deep pit below, the weight of the two doors is balanced again, and the door returns to its original position.

  This design is indeed ingenious, and Wu Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh in admiration as he watched the mechanism.

  Having understood all this, Wu Zhengyi no longer hesitated and strode towards the inner chamber.

  Very smoothly, everything was just like his probe. He stopped in front of the statue, staring at the eyes of the statue with big and small eyes that didn't blink.

  In an instant, he smiled.

  "Little demon, don't hide, this master has seen you."

  No reaction, the statue still stood motionless like a stone, cough, this statue was made of stone anyway.

  "Hey, I'm telling you to come out, can't you understand?" Wu Zhengxie continued to smile and said, "This little ghost is quite clever, but what are you hiding inside this statue for? Trying to launch a sneak attack on me?"

  Still no one speaks.

  Wu Zhengyi was getting a bit impatient, and with a wave of his hand, the Void Symbol condensed into being. "Little ghost, if you don't come out now, I'll have no choice but to beat you out."

  Still no response, seeing this, Wu Zhengyi finally lost his patience and slapped a palm towards the statue.

  "Spare me, Master!"

  Finally, under Wu Zhengxie's threat, the little ghost hiding in the statue surrendered. At this moment, a cloud of black mist floated out from the top of the statue, and from the black mist, a faintly trembling young spirit could be seen staring at Wu Zhengxie with a terrified face.

  Upon seeing this, Wu Zhengyi also dispersed the Void Symbol with a swift motion, glanced at the little ghost and said in a light tone, "Little ghost, answer my questions. If you answer well, I'll send you to reincarnation. But if you don't answer well, I'll make your soul scatter immediately."

  The dark fog slightly trembled, and a weak young voice responded, "Master, please ask, I will definitely answer whatever I know."

  "Hmm, good that you're being sensible." Wu Zhengxie hummed softly, "Firstly, tell me who you are and why you're inside this statue? Secondly, whose statue is this? Thirdly, are there any mechanisms around here? Fourthly, how do I open that door? Fifthly, what were those corpses trying to rush towards just now, what did they want to do? Sixthly, for now, just answer these five questions, think carefully before answering, it's related to your life."

  Wu Zhengxie had his hands clasped together in front of his chest, with an air of nonchalance that was quite infuriating.

  After thinking for a long time, the young man's spirit finally spoke out in a low voice, "Master, my master and I came here by chance. We are Mountain Moving Taoists."

  "Grave-robbing Taoist?" Wu Zhengxie was slightly taken aback, then curled his lip and said, "You put it so elegantly, aren't you just two tomb raiders?"

  The young man in the dark fog smiled a little awkwardly and continued, "When my master and I first came in, we encountered those corpses outside. After several battles, we were no match for them and died here. When my master died, his soul was swallowed by one of the corpses, but I ran faster and rushed into this place. Later, I saw this statue, and before I could react, the statue sucked me in."

  "Huh, this statue is so mysterious?" Wu Zhengxie's eyes shone brightly as he gazed at the statue in front of him, while also stretching out his hand to gently stroke the body of the statue. "It's just made of stone, there's nothing special about it."

  "Master, what I said is true." The young man's spirit continued, "As for who this statue is, I'm not sure either. As for the mechanism inside, I think it might be behind that door. Generally, ancient tombs will have some anti-grave robbing mechanisms, such as quicksand, falling rocks, random arrows, poisonous gas and so on. I was trapped in this statue, never entered through that big door, so I'm not sure either."

  "I don't know how to open that door either, but after years of tomb raiding with Master, I can tell from experience that this tomb gate should have a mechanism to open it. The mechanism should be at both ends of the gate. Master, you go take a look and you'll see."

  "Also, I don't know why those corpses are running towards this side, Master. This kind of situation has never happened before."

  Wu Zheng looked at the young man in front of him who was shrouded in a dark fog, his expression seeming to smile yet not smiling, "Do you have anything else you need to tell me?"

  The young man was taken aback, then he looked thoughtful for a moment. Suddenly, the young man seemed to have thought of something and hastily said, "Master, I have a guess that there may be an evil Taoist in this ancient tomb controlling those corpses. If Master you go in, you must be careful of that evil cultivator."

  "Hmm, is there anything else?" Wu Zhengxie nodded very seriously.

  "No," the young man shook his head firmly, "Master, you go take a look at how to open that stone gate first. I don't dare confirm if it's correct or not. If there's no mechanism on either side of the stone gate, I'll think of another way."

  "That's it," Wu Zhengxie nodded lightly, "then you" looked at the young man in front of him with a serious face, seemingly smiling but not quite. Wu Zhengxie suddenly burst out laughing coldly, "You can go die."

  One word was left unspoken, and he saw that fellow's right hand radiating a dense golden light as it slapped towards the black fog youth.

  "Ah! Master, don't!"

  The young man screamed in terror and tried to retreat back into the statue, but it was too late.

  Wu Zhengxie made his move without any warning signs. The young man had been on high alert all along, but still couldn't escape Wu Zhengxie's sneak attack.

  Boom!

  One palm fell, and the young man shrouded in black mist suddenly dissipated into thin air. The statue, under Wu Zhengyi's palm imbued with the true meaning of Taiji, slowly cracked open from within.

  "Hmph, you actually dare to deceive this great master's young and innocent heart. If I hadn't already seen through everything here, who knows, maybe I would have fallen for your trick."

  Wu Zhengxie sneered, humming with satisfaction, "This broken puppet looks like it can move, thinking I wouldn't notice? Trying to sneak up on me from behind, huh? This is exactly what I love playing with, you're still a bit too tender."

  "However, you bastard did say a few things that are correct. You and your master are indeed grave robbers. Only the two of you are now at the bottom of that pit. And this statue, if I'm not mistaken, should be the guardian statue of the pit."

  Wu Zhengye nodded, "The spirit of the statue wants to break free from its restraints and must find another spirit to replace itself. You little ghost are probably thinking of this too, right? This deep pit is forty-four meters deep, with 228 iron spikes at the bottom. Even if I, the great master, were to accidentally fall in, I would certainly die. Hmph, you little ghost have a good idea."

  In fact, Wu Zhengye was also very fortunate. If it wasn't for this period of time when his luck suddenly surged, if he hadn't successfully activated the "Jie" character, it would have been quite difficult to successfully enter the ancient tomb.

  Just like the deep pit mechanism between this statue and the gate, the only path is the 10-centimeter distance closest to the wall on the left side, where it is solid ground, and all other places are within the scope of the mechanism.

  But Wu Zhengxie didn't walk on solid ground, instead he took a step that spanned three meters and appeared directly in front of the gate.

  A light slap landed on the stone door in front of him, and only a few creaking sounds were heard from inside, but the stone door did not shatter. Seeing this, Wu Zhengye was suddenly surprised, "What material is this broken door made of? In ancient times, could they make doors that are even more solid than 3mm steel plates?"

  He, who was unbelieving in evil, struck out with his palm once again; this time, he used all his strength.

  Boom!

  As one palm fell, the entire cave shook slightly.

  Wu Zheng's eyes widened in shock, "What the...? No way!"

  The force of his palm was enough to stun a large elephant, but the broken door only creaked and groaned for a few moments before falling silent.

  "Could it be that this broken door is still connected to the entire mountain peak?" Wu Zheng's eyebrows furrowed, his Zhenzi jue triggered, normally able to detect up to 100 meters away, but when encountering this broken stone door, he was abruptly stopped at just half a meter in. Moreover, the further inside, the greater the pressure, making it increasingly difficult for him to continue probing.

  "What is it that's blocking my probe?" Wu Zhengyi furrowed his brow in thought, "It doesn't make sense, this technique of mine is a soul probe, a spiritual awareness. In this world, the only things that can block spiritual awareness are powerful auras or materials with extremely high density. Even steel plates can't give me too much trouble, let alone this broken stone door?"

  At this point, Wu Zhengyi slammed his palms on the door again in a huff, but what made him stunned was that these two palms, like before, only made the cave tremble slightly, and there was no abnormality on the surface of the stone gate.

  "Damn it!" In the dark and gloomy interior of the ancient tomb, a pair of green eyes stared fixedly at the screen in front of them, "Can't even get through the door, what a damn pig."

  "In the darkness, a figure cursed in anger, 'The three great killing moves that I carefully prepared for you are still inside. If this pig head of yours can't even get through the door, wouldn't that be a waste of my effort?'"

  At this time, Wu Zhengye helplessly raised his head and muttered to the air, "Hey, Xiao Riben, I know you can understand Chinese. Moreover, I also know that you have prepared a big meal for me. Now, damn it, I couldn't open this broken door. You'd better give me some directions."

  "Hmm," the figure in the darkness trembled slightly, meeting Wu Zhengyi's gaze from the light screen. The black-robed man inexplicably felt a tightness in his heart, but this feeling was immediately suppressed by him, "Damn it! I am a great Japanese brave warrior, how can I be afraid of that Chinese pig?"
