The Demon Soul is Coming

Liu Sang was worried, although under Mo Mei's guidance, the road was not dangerous, but the organs on the road, just looking at them, already made his scalp tingle.

But Mo Mei said: "My lord, don't worry, this room is the Mosi Palace, it is a place for people to stop and think, and think about whether they want to continue to go down. There is no danger in itself."

Liu Sang said: "Is there such a place?"

Mo Mei said: "The existence of the Mohism's mechanism is to prevent, not to kill, so it will naturally leave room for people. What's more, although a dungeon like this is dangerous, it will still allow people to enter. If it is To make it impossible for anyone to enter, wouldn’t it be better to just bury all the treasures in the underground palace deep in the ground so that no one can dig them out? Why spend so much manpower and painstaking efforts to create a mechanism?”

Liu Sang thought, this is true.

He put Momei off his back, led her around, and opened one of the treasure chests. The pearls were shining inside. Although he didn't know the goods very well, he also knew that any piece of jewelry here would be fine. It would be impossible for ordinary people to spend it all in a lifetime, but for the entire Underground Palace of the First Emperor, these jewels are probably the least valuable.

He asked suspiciously: "I don't seem to see anyone else."

Mo Mei said: "They must not have taken this path."

Liu Sang said: "Are there still many roads?"

"For such a large underground palace, naturally there is not only one road. Otherwise, if an enemy mechanism engineer blocks it, wouldn't it be impossible to get out?" Mo Mei said, "There are generally three types of roads, according to the habits of our Mohists. , divided into heaven, earth, and people. Among them, the road to heaven is used by mechanism engineers. When building an underground palace like this, there must be a general plan. For other mechanism engineers, as long as they get this blueprint, All the structures inside can be clearly seen, but this general design drawing will never be circulated outside, and even if the designer of the underground palace is not dead, he will never reveal the inside situation. In such an underground palace, there is usually hidden a The secret path that only the designer knows is to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the mechanism engineer during the construction process. Except for the chief designer, even the most outstanding mechanism engineer can hardly find and open it. It's called the Road to Heaven."

Liu Sang said: "The people who designed this underground palace are from your Mo family..."

"It's useless," Mo Mei sighed, "The people who designed and built the underground palace for the first emperor, no matter whether they are mechanism engineers or craftsmen, have never survived, let alone for every mechanism engineer. Create such an underground palace that has exhausted all your life's knowledge, and die without complaint."

"Even if you have the secret stick, you can't find this road to heaven?"

Mo Mei shook his head: "You can't find it unless you reach the deepest point. Generally speaking, the only general plan will be put together with the most precious things hidden in the underground palace. With that general design , to find the way to heaven.”

Liu Sang smiled wryly: "Since you have found even the 'most precious thing', what do you need that blueprint for?"

Mo Mei gritted her teeth: "But what we are looking for is that blueprint, because if we want to destroy the entire underground palace, we have to find that blueprint first."

Liu Sang said, "What about that person's path?"

Mo Mei probed the ground while holding the secret stick, and said: "The road of man is the road taken by the owner of the treasury. It's like a rich man who wants to hide all his wealth and finds someone to help him design a mechanism." The secret room, this secret room cannot be entered by outsiders, but he must enter it himself. If it is a simple secret room, he must remember the method of entering and exiting, and such a large underground palace, there must be a card that even ordinary people can hold. , and a treasure map that you can enter and exit freely. It’s as if Emperor Shi Huang had someone design such a dangerous underground palace, and put his most important things in it, but one day he wanted to take it out again on a whim, couldn’t it? Need to find another person to break through this underground palace? So he must have a treasure map in his hand, even ordinary people who don't know the art of wooden armor mechanism can come and go safely, but the first emperor has been missing for 600 years, no one can I don’t know where that treasure map is.”

She continued: "The treasure map will not draw the entire structure of the map, but will only point out a safe path. With this treasure map, you can naturally enter it calmly, but without this treasure map, it is dangerous to enter Very much. Just like the place we just passed, so many saw wheels rushed towards us, only those who have a treasure map in their hands dare to stand there motionless, and those who don’t have a treasure map, even if you are a top expert I can only speak up first."

Liu Sang said: "But you told me to stand there still."

Mo Mei said: "That's because I have already measured the position of the ink core and the trajectory of the magnet in that place with the Tianji stick, but the Tianji stick is unique. Before I stepped on it, I already knew that it was a human. road."

Liu Sang said: "But your brother and the others don't have any secrets."

"Well," Mo Mei said, "so they can only take the road of earth."

Liu Sang said: "What kind of road is the road to the earth?"

Mo Mei said: "The road to the earth means that there is no road."

Liu Sang said in astonishment, "There is no way?"

The girl said: "If you don't have a treasure map in your hand, there are naturally many dangers, but it is not absolutely impossible to go. Just like the institutions we passed just now, it is difficult for ordinary people to break in, but if it is a few great masters on the eight continents, such Naturally, the traps and traps of the mechanism cannot be difficult for them. Although the elder brother and the others are not as powerful as the great masters, they are all well-known masters in Yazhou. The principle and essence of mechanism technique can naturally destroy the mechanism traps encountered along the way, and finally reach the depths, this is the road to the earth."

She said: "Although there is no Tianji stick, since my brother and the others dare to enter the underground palace, they are naturally well prepared." She knocked the Tianji stick on the stone in front of her a few times, then squatted down suddenly, revealing a small hole , reached in and twisted a bit.

There was the sound of magnets being dragged, and a large circular pit appeared half a foot in front of them.

There was a raging flame burning under the pit, and heat surged up again.

Mo Mei said: "Let's jump down."

Liu Sang asked in surprise, "Jump down?"

Mo Mei said: "This is the human path we are going to take."

Liu Sang scratched his head: "Won't you be burned to death if you jump?"

The girl shook her head: "The fire underneath is fake. It is a fake fire made by distorting the light through crystals or mirrors."

Liu Sang said: "But the heat..."

The girl squatted down and touched her feet: "The hot air is actually overflowing from the small holes in the cracks in the stone. The source is either hot springs or lava. It is drawn from other places. Most people see this raging flame, Feeling the steaming heat, I just thought that I had reached a dead end, so I would naturally go elsewhere."

Liu Sang shook his head: "Your Mo family's organ skills are really powerful." He jumped down with his arms around her, his body was scorched by the heat, he suspected that she made a mistake, fell into the fire, but became cool again.

Looking around again, several prismatic crystals are inlaid in the far corners, refracting light beams from nowhere, and interweaving with each other, turning into a "blazing flame". Liu Sang naturally knows that this principle is similar to the "flame" in his previous life. "Projector" is almost the same, but I still admire it in my heart.

After walking like this for a while, until they came to a small wooden platform that went down vertically.

The two stood on the small platform, which slowly descended.Mo Mei said: "This underground palace should be in the shape of an inverted cone. The lower you go, the narrower the underground palace, and the bottommost point of the cone is the center of the entire underground palace. The design drawings of the entire underground palace must be hidden there."

Liu Sang said: "In this case, the further we go down, the easier it is to bump into other people?"

"Well," said Mo Mei, "but we are following the road of human beings. We don't need to crack the mechanism along the way, so it must be much faster than others. Even at this time, others must have been left behind by us..."

A charming smile suddenly came from the dark place: "Not necessarily."

A black shadow fluttered out, grabbed Mo Mei in an instant, and flew down.
