Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 77 Humanoid Mechanism
In a flash, Pei Nai used his body's reaction to dodge several arrows that were flying straight at him.

But she didn't expect that a circle of sharp circular blades extended from the middle of the stone pier, extending outward and rotating rapidly.

At the critical moment, Gu Jinheng pushed her backwards, but was cut on the leg by a protruding sharp blade.

Fortunately, Gu Jinheng acted quickly and the sharp object did not cut that deep.

Pei Nai was startled at first, then made sure that no other mechanisms were triggered.

Realizing that Gu Jinheng was injured by the second-level mechanism because he saved her, she was about to find something to bandage him, but unexpectedly, Gu Jinheng staggered.

"What's wrong?" She felt something was wrong.

Based on her understanding of Gu Jinheng, this minor injury was not enough to weaken him.

Moreover, the amount of blood oozing out from the wound was very small, so Gu Jinheng must have stopped the bleeding by using his internal energy.

But it seems that something went wrong.

"The blade is poisoned." Gu Jinheng's breathing was a little unstable.

Pei Nai couldn't see his injuries, and his heart trembled twice, but he didn't show it. He just asked: "Can you force the poison out?"

Gu Jinheng shook his head, "It's bone-dissolving water."

Pei Nai was shocked.

This is an extremely poisonous substance that can kill a person if it is injected from the tip of a needle and enters the blood within half an incense stick of time.

The poison takes effect very quickly. The victim's bones will be corroded and burned all over the body, and the corpse will look like a pool of soft water, which is a very tragic death.

The only good news is that there is an antidote for this poison.

However, they were now in an underground palace and had to pass through seven dark rooms before they could find the exit. The further back they went, the longer the corridor became, and they had no way of estimating the time it would take to escape.

Moreover, even if the life can be saved, the bones have been damaged and sequelae are inevitable.

Gu Jinheng had already closed his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled a few times.

The divine pressure surrounding them has dissipated.

There was no expression on his face, but Pei Nai couldn't imagine what kind of turbulent waves were surging inside his body.

Pei Nai looked a little helpless, "You close your heart meridian, and we will get out now."

Gu Jinheng opened his eyes and looked at her, "Nail, splash me with water."

Upon hearing this, Pei Nai turned around and scooped up a handful of water from the stone pier, subconsciously observing whether any mechanism would be triggered, but nothing happened.

She suddenly thought of another question: no one has come to the underground palace all year round, so why doesn't the water dry up?
After a closer look, I found that there were indeed several small holes in the corner of the bottom of the water. This should be the water inlet.

She immediately thought of the water monster in the dark room in front and shuddered.

I can't care about that anymore.

Gu Jinheng must be sober enough to delay the spread of the poison and have a chance of survival.

The cold water splashed on Gu Jinheng's face, which helped him regain some consciousness.

"Seventh row, second column. Gen represents mountain." He said slowly.

Pei Nai strode to the wall with the grid, and after seeing it clearly, he quickly pressed it.

As the corridor opened, Gu Jinheng took a step forward but almost fell.

Pei Nai didn't have time to think and turned back to support him.

Pei Nai supported him and walked slowly into the corridor. It was a critical moment and he couldn't care less.

After all, he was injured and poisoned because he saved her, not to mention that she couldn't remember the order of the hexagrams at all.

They walked quietly through corridor after corridor, and Pei Nai could feel that Gu Jinheng was becoming weaker and weaker.

They don't have much time left, they must find an exit as soon as possible.

They were already a certain distance away from the dark room where the stone pillar of the mural was located. After passing through three more dark rooms, it was time to press the fourth-to-last wall grid.

They were all extremely tired at this moment, but Pei Nai didn't dare to take him to rest. They couldn't afford to waste time now.

"Which box should I press next?" "Second row, fourth column. Zhongfu hexagram." Gu Jinheng answered her.

Pei Nai muttered to himself, "Second row, fourth column," and found the wall grid.

Just as he was about to press it, he suddenly saw a small square protruding from the gap between the Zhongfu hexagram wall grid and another wall grid on the right.

A new grid?
Pei Nai was a little curious, but he didn't dare to press anything. He just touched it lightly and was about to withdraw his hand.

But at this touch, the wall began to rumble.

She realized that she had made a big mistake and hurriedly retreated with Gu Jinheng.

But the entire dark room suddenly tilted at this moment.

The wall where the wall grid was located continued to rise, leaving a huge gap.

She and Gu Jinheng slid down the slope at the same time, like hot water being poured into another dark room.

The two fell heavily to the ground.

The pain for a moment made Pei Na breathless. When she came to her senses again, she saw relief carvings all over the wall.

But she didn't have time to observe all this. She stood up with her hands and looked at Gu Jinheng not far away.

This kind of impact of falling to the ground might not have been a big deal for Gu Jinheng in the past, but when he concentrated on running his internal energy to resist the poison, it was almost fatal.

Gu Jinheng barely supported his upper body, and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood from his side.

Pei Nai felt a pain in his heart, unable to describe his feelings, so he squatted down and helped him lean against the wall.

"Sorry, my bad, are you okay?" she asked.

Gu Jinheng was clearly in so much pain that he couldn't make a sound, but he still nodded slightly.

"Just relax a bit, I'll go find an exit." Pei Nai stood up quickly.

She looked around and saw the walls covered with reliefs, so finely carved, so densely packed that they were difficult to count.

She glanced around casually, but was a little dazed.

On the relief, there is a man holding a spear. There are countless reliefs and countless moves.

The reason why she was stunned was that this move looked very similar to the Pei family spear.

There are words under some of the reliefs, which seem to be the names of the moves.

It was not until she saw the second arrow that she was sure that what was in front of her was the Pei family spear.

But why did she never know these moves? She had never seen her father and Uncle Guo use these moves.
Could it be that my father and the others don’t know about the existence of these moves?
This is the only possibility, otherwise her father and others would have no reason not to let her know about this.

So what was in front of her was the other half of the Pei family spear that had long been lost!

If the world knew that all the moves of the world-famous Pei family spear that they had seen were only half of it, what kind of sensation would it cause?
She was a little shocked.

But considering the current situation, she forced herself to look away. Finding a way out was the most important thing.

In addition to the relief, there is a platform in the center of the dark room, on which is placed a spear.

There was something embedded in the wall not far from the spear.

In human form.
She shuddered, but had to move closer to see it more clearly.

Fortunately, it was just a human-shaped decoration, a decoration holding a spear.

She walked around the dark room but didn't see any wall grids or exits.

Afraid that she had missed something, she checked again and again, not missing any corner, but still found nothing.

Pei Nai had no choice but to shift her attention to the spear and the human-shaped decorations. She first approached the spear, but did not find anything unusual.

Grasping the spear's handle, she raised it.

At this moment, the human-shaped decoration took a step forward.
