"Boom!" A muffled explosion resounded, and faint ripples appeared in the air.
Along with this muffled explosion, the last layer of restriction disappeared, and the two-meter-tall door of light remained unscathed.
"It's done!" Ye Kong exclaimed in pleasant surprise. When he received the Light Jade Invitation from the door of light, he was just trying to break the restriction. He didn't expect that he would succeed so easily.
However, looking at the oval portal emitting a faint white light, Ye Kong was a little hesitant. If there was only a treasure vault behind the door, then there was no way that the Light Jade Invitation would be thrown out. Since it could throw out the Light Jade Invitation, then it was very likely that there was someone behind the door!
If there was someone, then it meant that there was danger!
The most dangerous people in this world were always humans!
"Brother Bird, it really worked! How about I go in and take a look first?" After going crazy, the Force King was very simple and honest, and he actually took the initiative to be the pathfinder.
At that moment, Ye Kong had a thought of letting the Force King go in and explore. After all, the Force King was an idiot, and he was his enemy. If he died, then so be it. But in the end, Ye Kong didn't make such a decision.
"Anyway, I have the Benevolent King's Divine Armor. What's there to be afraid of?" After thinking about it, Ye Kong immediately strode into the door of light.
Then, the Force King's thin and tall figure also disappeared into the white light door.
"Wow! I didn't expect such a big birdcage to be behind such a small door! "The Force King said in surprise.
In front of them was a huge semicircular space. The space was bottomless, and it was a bottomless abyss. In the middle of the space was a huge mountain, and on top of the mountain was a black castle!
Ye Kong and the Force King stood on the edge of the semicircular space. There was a high covered bridge over the abyss, and it led to a door in the middle of the castle. On the covered bridge, there was a row of lifelike statues on both sides.
"This is not a birdcage, this is a castle." Ye Kong said softly, and at the same time, he was observing the castle. Since someone had just released the Light Jade Invitation, it meant that he and the Force King were not alive inside.
"Castle, then the people living inside are not birds, they are bad people!" Power King thought for a while and said.
Before Ye Kong could speak, he heard an old voice from the castle say, "The castle and the birdcage are actually the same principle. That is to lock the person inside and not let him out."
Ye Kong looked in the direction of the voice and noticed that there was a window in the corner above the black gate of the castle. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years had passed since it was covered in dust and filthy. There was also a sturdy iron fence outside the window, and the fence was also mottled with rust. Through the iron bars, a white-bearded old man in linen clothes could be seen standing behind the window.
The old man was not tall. He was a dwarf, and he looked quite benevolent.
Power King saw it and laughed, "Bird brother, I'm talking about the birdcage, there's an old bird inside."
The short old man didn't like being addressed this way and said angrily, "What old bird? You're the bird!"
"Yeah! Did you just see that I'm a bird? "Power King said as if it was a matter of course.
The short old man also saw Power King's stupidity, so he didn't say anything else. He turned to Ye Kong and said, "The one who was messing around outside was you. After tens of thousands of years, I finally see people again. These days are really boring."
Ye Kong saw that the old man didn't look fierce, so he became bolder. He walked over the narrow bridge and arrived in front of the gate. He cupped his hands and said, "I have seen senior. If it wasn't for senior's help, I wouldn't have been able to enter."
The old man nodded and said, "No need to thank me. I just didn't expect that beautiful girl to have such a bad heart. She actually set up such a vicious restriction in front of my gate. If she really destroyed the gate, then my mission …" The old man stopped here and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"
"My name is Ye Kong. Senior, do you need my help? Also, talking to you through the wall is too tiring. Can you open the castle's gate? "Ye Kong asked politely.
The old man laughed and said, "Ye Kong, you're right. When I open the gate, you can rush in and loot the castle's treasures. Then you can return with a full load. "
Needless to say, Ye really did think this way. However, his face was full of righteousness as he said, "Senior, what kind of person do you think I, Ye Kong, am? I, Ye Kong, have always respected the old and cherished the young. I'm honest and courteous. I've repeatedly obtained the title of a good Samaritan. In fact, I just want to go in and help you wash the quilt and kill the cockroaches. I hope that Senior will give me this opportunity to help others. "
Listening to Ye Kong's nonsense, the old man laughed and said, "Boy, I can see that you're really shameless. To be able to lie to this level, you're not an ordinary shameless person, you're an extremely shameless person! "
Ye Kong said angrily, "Hey, Senior, even if you don't let me in and don't believe Ye, there's no need to scold me, right?! Could it be that good people really don't have good rewards in this world? "
Looking at Ye Kong's expression, even the million-year-old old man was dumbfounded. He was a little convinced that this boy was indeed a good person through and through. The old man no longer mocked. Instead, he opened his mouth and sighed, "Little Friend Ye Kong, even if you sincerely help me, I can't let you in. Because I'm locked in this tiny room and can't even get out of the small door. How can I open the door for you? "
Seeing that the old man believed him, Ye Kong nodded and said, "Senior, this doesn't matter. It just so happens that I can save you. In a while, I'll take the treasures and you take your freedom. Everyone will take what they need and help each other. As long as you tell me the way to open this castle and where the dangers are, then we'll be ironclad allies. "
"You take the treasures and I take my freedom." The old man laughed and said, "Looks like I'm still taking advantage of you."
"That's right, of course," Ye Kong said, "Cultivation is precious, but the price of treasures is even higher. For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away. Senior, have you never heard of such a famous poem? "
"I've never heard of it." The old man shook his head, but his eyes were filled with melancholy, "But this poem is right. Without freedom, cultivation and treasures are all useless."
Seeing that the old man was tempted, Ye Kong happily said, "Then Senior, let's cooperate. Tell me the map of the castle's interior, the locations of the mechanisms, and the way to open the passages … Oh, and if there are any hidden treasures, I'll rush in to save you."
"Hidden treasures …" The old man laughed and said, "Young man, actually, I do want to let you in, but you have to first deal with the Heaven's Secret puppets on the Heaven's Secret Bridge."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the dozen or so statues standing on the railing of the narrow bridge all made a cracking sound as if they had all come to life!
