The three of them stood in the huge and empty stone cave, and they were speechless for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is a cylindrical hall with a cylindrical platform in the middle of the hall, and the stone door of the star extends an upward staircase that leads to the high platform. Both the hall and the podium were hollowed out, and the podium was about four meters high from the bottom of the hall.

The area of the high platform is about 20 square meters, and there are 10 dragon-shaped stone carvings on the edge. The stone carvings are divided into five groups, each with a small square altar in the middle. K1 held up his phone and saw that the dragons were all facing away from the high platform and facing the stone wall.

"The difference between the high platform and the bottom is almost four meters, and there are no steps or ladders, so we can jump straight down. K1 looked at it and came to this conclusion.

Wan Guohou shook his head, "In the past, people were shorter than us, and they didn't necessarily have any jumping skills, and jumping from a four-meter-high platform was very likely to be injured." Why do they want to build a high platform that cannot be brought down? It is unreasonable. ”

Yue Shuluo took out her phone from her handbag and turned on the flash. She looked at the dragon-shaped stone sculpture closest to her for a while, looked at the altar in the middle of the stone sculpture for a while, and then looked up and said, "Master Hou, look here. ”

Wan Guohou looked at the stone basin she was referring to: "The stone basin inlaid in the middle is used to hold things?"

Yue Shuluo thought for a while: "Master Hou, there are five altars here, and each altar has a stone basin, which also corresponds to two stone dragons. I wonder if it's possible that if you put the right sacrifice in the stone basin, the two corresponding stone dragons will be activated?"

Wan Guohou showed an approving look: "Then tell me, which stone basin should be put the sacrifice, and what sacrifice should be put in?"

Tsukigargle rakugo.

K1 wasted no time in saying, "It's simple, Master Hou." We came here after the old man Hanako, and he must have lived here. We just need to find the stone basin with traces of use, right?"

Wan Guohou smiled: "K1, your IQ seems to be on the line." ”

K1 pouted: "I've always been smart, okay?

Yue Shuluo pursed her lips and smiled, as if she wanted to say something.

K1 immediately noticed Yue Shuluo's reaction, and he said with a little dissatisfaction, "Manager Yue, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Yue Shuluo replied calmly: "K1, don't be angry, I didn't laugh at you. Your suggestion is very useful, I just thought of another way to use it in conjunction with your suggestion. She pointed to the stone basin in front of her, "This stone basin and the altar on which it is located are gray-green. As she spoke, she pointed to another altar, "I saw there just now, and it's not green. ”

She smiled and said, "Perhaps, color is also a clue." ”

When K1 heard this, he immediately rushed to the farthest altar. After inspecting the four altars, he said to Yue Shuluo, "Chief Moon, what you said makes sense. He looked excited, "The colors of the five altars are different, they are green, white, red, black, and yellow. ”

"It's the five elements. "Green, or cyan, means wood, white means gold, red means red, means fire, black means water, and yellow means earth." If you want to substitute the direction, wood is the east, gold is the west, fire is the south, water is the north, and the earth is the center. ”

K1 couldn't wait to ask, "Which color should we use, or which direction should we use the altar?"

Wan Guohou shook his head, "I don't know." ”

K1 was a little speechless, "Aren't you a China expert?"

Wan Guohou smiled, "But I don't know what the person who built this underground palace thinks, not to mention, the five elements are infinitely changing, and thousands of reasonable explanations can be derived." ”

Yue Shuluo asked, "Didn't K1 just say that it can be judged by the traces of the use of the old name Hanako?"

K1 smiled bitterly, "Do you remember that? He sighed, "This old thing is so cunning, there are traces of use in every stone basin. ”

Wan Guohou laughed in his heart, in fact, he had already expected this, but in order to maintain K1's self-esteem, he deliberately did not say anything. Seeing K1's lost appearance at this moment, he comforted: "It doesn't matter, one of the five altars is always correct, it's a big deal to try them one by one." ”

K1 looked down and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up a little because of excitement, "I remember, Suzhou is in the south of China!"

Yue Shuluo immediately put forward a different opinion, "But the hill we are on is in the suburbs of the north of Suzhou, so it can be said that it belongs to the north. ”

"North ......" K1 scratched his head, "What color is North?"

"Black. Yue Shuluo replied.

"Which of the five elements does black represent?"

"Water. ”

K1 suddenly became excited, "That's water!" He ran to the black altar, "Water is the source of life! ”

Wan Guohou does not agree with K1's reasoning, but he has no better way for the time being, whether it is a way to live or die, he has to try to know. With that in mind, he walked over to the black altar.

"The water altar should be put water in it. K1 looked left and right, "Otherwise, you guys wait for me here, and I'll go get water in the car." ”

"No, I don't. YUE SHULUO SAID CONFIDENTLY, SHE OPENED THE HANDBAG SHE HAD BEEN CARRYING, AND TOOK OUT A BOTTLE OF MINERAL WATER, "THIS IS 350ML, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ENOUGH." ”

K1 looked at her face in amazement, "You bring drinking water with you?"

Yue Shuluo smiled, "Although there is water in Hou Ye's car, I am afraid that if he gets out of the car, he will be thirsty and have no water to drink." I hadn't been to Suzhou, and I didn't know if I could find a convenience store around, so I filled a bottle of water. ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "I see that you seem to have a lot of things in this little bag, what else?"

Yue Shuluo opened the bag, "The light here is not good, so I won't take it out and show it one by one." There are also checkbooks, change, half a pack of tissues, wet wipes, a small bottle of carminative oil with an axe, a signature pen, a notepad, a sewing kit, oral freshener, a rubber band, a bangs clip, and a band-aid. ”

The things she said in the first half didn't seem to surprise K1, but when she talked about the sewing kit, K1 couldn't help it, "Do you want to do needlework?"

Yue Shuluo met his surprised gaze, "I used to be poor, and I was reluctant to throw away the stockings when they were torn, as long as the broken place was on the toes, not on the legs, I would make up for them and wear them again." Sometimes, when you find your socks torn in the office, you have to go to the bathroom to repair them so that the damage doesn't get bigger and bigger. ”

She talked about the old troubles, but her expression was very calm, "Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to break it." Although I don't have to wear out my socks anymore, I still bring a sewing kit. ”

Wan Guohou listened to her quietly before asking, "I noticed that you didn't even carry any cosmetics?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I have a lipstick with me. Yue Shuluo smiled, "I don't like heavy makeup, it feels like wearing a mask." ”

"You don't need to. Wan Guohou blinked, as if to see her heart, "You are beautiful enough." ”

"Ahem. K1 suddenly coughed loudly, "I said, you two, let's get down to business first, okay?"

Tsuki-shuluo was a little embarrassed, and she handed the water to K1, who unscrewed the lid and poured it into the stone basin while complaining, "I'm going to find a girlfriend too, so I don't have to be irritated by you every day." ”

Wan Guohou ignored his jokes, he just took a step back, staring at the altar with a wary expression.

K1 poured the water from the bottle in one go, then threw the empty bottle off the platform. I only heard a strange sound of "poo", and Yue Shuluo glanced under the high platform, and where the mobile phone light shone, there was a large silver blade. She was startled, "K1, what did you activate?"

K1 was also a little scared, he looked down, "Good boy, you can't litter." He frowned, "It's strange, at first, there was nothing underneath, it was just an open space." ”

"Now there is. Wan Guohou said lightly, "This is probably Dao Mountain." ”

K1 was about to say a few more words, when suddenly there was a "click" movement from their side, and following the sound, it was the two stone dragons near the black altar that moved a few times, and then, the sword mountain in front of the black altar disappeared, replaced by dozens of stone stairs that rose up. The staircase leads from far to near to the platform. At the same time, on the wall facing the lowest part of the staircase, an entrance is revealed that is about the width and height of the Nakshatra Gate.

K1 was about to cheer when he was interrupted by a louder "boom" - the large stone door of the twenty-eight constellations fell.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and after a long moment, K1 muttered, "It looks like we're locked up." ”

Yue Shuluo asked, "Could it be that Hanako locked us up from the outside?"

Wan Guohou shook his head: "Unlikely." He stroked his beard, not looking panicked by being trapped, "I think it's because we activated the mechanism of the 'Water Altar' that caused the stone door outside to be locked. ”

K1 blinked a few times, then stomped his foot suddenly, "The old thing lives in it, and must have figured out these mechanisms, I don't believe I can't find the switch to this door." After saying that, he rushed back to the side of the star gate in a hurry, and then groped carefully along the door, in the direction of up and down, left and right.

Yue Shuluo hesitated for a moment, "Master Hou, are we going over?"

Wan Guohou shook his head, obviously thinking that K1 couldn't find the switch.

K1 tossed for a while, but found nothing. He sat down against the door in despair, scratching his head irritably.

"You're right about one thing, there's a way to open this door from the inside. Wan Guohou said slowly.

"Did you find it?" K1 stood up, beaming.

"But I'm afraid that only the old Hanako knows. Wan Guohou said this sentence almost made K1 jump up in anger, his eyes widened, and he looked "I can't accept it", "So evil?"

"Now it seems that this underground palace is likely to be a secret place for private meetings and sacrifices in the past, and the designers probably don't want anyone to go in and out halfway and interrupt the sacrifice. Wan Guohou beckoned, "Don't stand and chat, come here, let's leave immediately." ”

K1 nodded helplessly, and walked back to the high platform. He held up his phone and took a picture of the steps, and after making sure there was nothing unusual about the steps, he walked up. Wan Guohou was the second to go, Yue Shuluo followed behind, her shoes were stiletto heels, and she walked quite hard, Wan Guohou saw that she was embarrassed, so he could only help her as much as possible.

The three of them walked up the stairs and went straight to the newly revealed entrance. Stepping over a stone sill, there was a large room in front of me, with two rows of stone figures standing against the wall on either side. Directly in front of them, there was a deep passage as wide and high as the entrance. K1 held up his phone and looked at it for a while, "This passage is full of water, and besides, there is a terrible smell here. ”

"I smell it too. "It's very pungent." ”

Wan Guohou's expression was grim, "This water should be poisonous." He raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then he figured it out, "The water released by the Qianqiu Sect can't be stored for hundreds of years, and it must have evaporated long ago." The water here should have been brought by the old name Hanako, who may have found the poison of the Chiaki Sect and added it to the water. ”

"Maybe it's not water, it's acid?" Tsukigaru guessed.

"That's too much water. K1 denied the speculation that the moon was falling, "However, whether it is sour or not, this smell doesn't smell right." He looked at Wan Guohou, "Master Hou, are we still going this way?"

Wan Guohou shrugged, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." He looked at K1's surprised face and laughed, "There must be a way for us to get through here, otherwise, how did the old Hanako get out of the way?"

"That's right. "K1 suddenly brightened. He immediately raised his phone again and looked around.

"Master Hou, look at these stone figures. Yue Shuluo pointed to the stone man and said. These stone figures are about one and a half meters tall, and they are only shadowed in the dim light. She held up her phone, and a group of pale silhouettes immediately reflected on both sides of the room.

"One, two, three......," K1 counted, "five on each side, ten in total." He said to himself, "This designer likes the number ten." ”

"These stone figures are all in different poses. The focus of Yueshuluo's observation was obviously different from his.

"Ah, yes. K1 took a closer look, "Some are holding their arms, some are drooping, I don't know why." ”

Wan Guohou pointed to a stone man on the left, "K1, see if this stone man's arm can move." ”

K1 immediately complied, he touched the stone man's arm, and then said in surprise: "Master Hou, this drooping can only be raised!"

Wan Guohou Wan'er smiled: "I know how it passed! You can look at the remaining nine." ”

K1 quickly touched the other nine stone figures, and the more he touched them, the happier he became, and after touching them, he said, "Master Hou, the stone man's drooping arms can move!"

Wan Guohou seemed to have expected it: "Then what are you waiting for, raise the stone man's drooping arms." ”

K1 immediately acted upon hearing this, and soon, the two arms of each stone figure were adjusted to the same height.

After a rush of water, a row of winding stone pillars floated in the deep passage, forming a road on the water.

"Master Hou!" K1 exclaimed excitedly, "It looks like that stake!"

Wan Guohou said quietly: "You mean the plum blossom pile?"

"Ah, yes, yes. K1 was elated when he saw the way out, "I just want to find that dead old man quickly and beat him up now!"

As he spoke, Yue Shuluo had already taken off her shoes, and she carried her high heels in her hands, looking like she was running to the red dust. Wan Guohou looked at her, shook his head, and smiled, "Manager Yue, don't toss around, just said that this water may be sour, how can you step on those stone pillars with bare feet?" As soon as the words fell, he had already picked up Yueshuluo, "K1, open the way." ”

Yue Shuluo was shocked and embarrassed, but she did not refuse, but cooperatively hooked Wan Guohou's neck.
