Chapter 90: Friend or Foe

"Is that stone amber?" how do you know?" K1 asked, surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wan Guohou was silent, but also cast a curious glance at Yue Shuluo.

Yue Shuluo said softly: "Have you forgotten that I am from Twenty County? Twenty County is next door to Hancheng, I often see some people who do amber business in Hancheng, and I still know the basic characteristics of amber." She leaned her back against the stone wall, and underneath her was the suit of the Marquis of Wanguo. Her legs were folded, her heels were on the ground, and the slit of the cheongsam, although a little tattered, did not detract from her beauty. She smiled in the light of the lanterns, as if she were in her own hall.

"Amber is rubbed to produce static electricity, and in ancient times it was called 'calcium carbide'. On the mural, the palace maid's hair was obviously sucked by amber, so it was messy as if it stood up. "Although I don't know the mystery of this spherical amber, I think that the Chiaki Sect painted it on the ceiling, probably not just to highlight its static electricity." ”

K1 nodded convincingly, "In that case, it should indeed be amber." But it won't be Burmese amber, look at the first picture is on the seaside. He grinned, "The countries that produce sea poke are not in Asia, so they must be imported from abroad." ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "K1, in fact, it is not only static electricity, but also one point that can prove that this spherical stone is amber. You see, there is a tiger pattern on this stone platform, as well as some lines that seem to be light and mist, which refers to the spirit of the tiger. Wan Guohou pointed to the stone platform, "Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty described amber as 'the tiger died and turned into white stone' in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and the white stone here refers to amber. He stroked his beard and smiled, "Tigers have very strong night vision. The ancient Chinese believed that when hunted by humans, the tiger's gaze would fall with the tiger in the dark night, and then sink into the ground, turning into spirit. Those who see amber believe that living things have yin and yang, yang is the soul, yin is the spirit, the soul is gathered when it is born, and the soul is dispersed when it dies, and the soul rises to heaven after death, and the spirit descends to the earth. And this tiger spirit that sank into the ground is called 'tiger spirit', which is what we call amber today. ”

"Master Hou, what does this amber have to do with the Thousand Autumn Sect?" K1 asked.

Wan Guohou shrugged, "Unless you can open this stone platform." ”

K1 saw Wan Guohou's resigned expression and felt very unconvinced. He rolled up his sleeves and groped his way along the stone platform, but found nothing. And when he touched the circles carved on the stone platform, he suddenly seemed to realize something, put his finger against the circles, and then pressed hard. In an instant, there was a "kala" sound, and the lid of the stone platform slid to the side of the cave.

Wan Guohou immediately stepped forward, and K1 lit the lighter. But both sighed in disappointment, the sarcophagus was empty.

"Master Hou, didn't you say that the secret is here?" K1 asked anxiously.

Wan Guohou replied helplessly, "According to the mural, the spherical amber should be in this sarcophagus, I don't know if it was taken away by the old Hanako." ”

He walked over to the table and flipped through the papers that had been crushed to the bottom, "I've never heard of Qin Shi Huang and amber before. Perhaps, it was not by chance that Hanako discovered this underground palace, but because he got the exact news?So, he came for Amber?" As soon as he finished speaking, his hand suddenly stopped, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, K1 hurriedly walked over, only to see Wan Guohou holding a photo in his hand. K1 stretched his neck, and he was surprised to find that the person in the photo turned out to be Wan Guohou.

This is obviously a candid photo, because it only shows the side of Wan Guohou, who had just gotten out of the car. Wan Guohou continued to flip through for a while, and found a few more photos of him secretly, but they were all on the back.

On that photo of the side face, Hanako drew a big question mark. And what surprised K1 the most was that Wan Guohou's eyes were emphatically circled. K1 was about to ask a question, when he suddenly remembered that Yueshu was present, so he gently moved his finger to the photo and clicked on the place where he drew the circle.

Wan Guohou silently put these photos into his pants pocket, and then continued to scroll down as if nothing happened. "There is a lot more English than Chinese, and this person's mother tongue may be English. ”

Yue Shuluo's vision happened to be blocked by K1, and she couldn't see Wan Guohou's movements, but she still read a kind of uneasiness from K1's silence, "Master Hou, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just sighed that this person was calm. Wan Guohou was telling the truth, he did admire the mysterious old man a little, "K1, you just went through all his things, and you didn't find anything similar to contact lens care solution?"

K1 shook his head, "No, the liquid is just a few crates of mineral water and a few large jars of oil. He asked, curiously, "Do you suspect he wears contact lenses?"

Wan Guohou had already flipped through all the information on the table at this time, and he raised his head: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, he has a yellow face." ”

Yue Shuluo said, "Master Hou, is there such a possibility?" she pondered the words, "I heard that this old man called Hanako has golden eyes, if he doesn't wear beautiful contacts, then it may be a half-blood." ”

Wan Guohou was stunned, but K1 wasted no time in asking, "Speaking of which, Mr. Yue, I have never been too embarrassed to ask you, why are your eyes that color? He scratched his head, "At first, I thought you were wearing those beautiful contacts, but then I looked closely, and it seems to be natural?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Yue Shuluo's eyes, but she quickly concealed her emotions, "My ancestors migrated from southern Xinjiang to Twenty counties, and they belong to a branch of the Gruz tribe. In the early days, our people intermarried with the Han Chinese, and later they were forbidden by the elders, but the Gruzil bloodline has since merged with the Han Chinese. Eyes like mine are not uncommon among my people. ”

"No wonder, I've always felt that you don't look much like an Oriental. K1 laughed, "So, are you half-blood?"

"K1!" Wan Guohou suddenly stopped him harshly. K1 stuck out his tongue and stopped making fun of the moon.

"The fire in 2002 destroyed everything in the house, otherwise I could have shown you pictures of my parents. My mother was a famous beauty when she was young, and my father was also a talent, and everyone said that they were a match made in heaven. Yue Shuluo's tone was full of pride, and only Wan Guohou knew how much loss was hidden behind her pride.

Wan Guohou walked a few steps in the room and quietly changed the topic, "It's a pity that you followed me as a housekeeper, otherwise, with your appearance, it is really possible to become popular in the entertainment industry." ”

K1 smiled narrowly, "Otherwise, Mr. Moon will make a combo with me." ”

Yue Shuluo smiled faintly, "I don't want to enter the showbiz." She looked at her feet, "I just want to get out of here now." ”

"Master Hou, I wanted to ask you just now, and I endured it for a long time. K1 said with a little grievance, "If you have any way to take us out, just say it, okay?"

Wan Guohou winked playfully, "We've been in for six or seven hours. During this time, all three of us couldn't get through on our phones. ”

"I see what you mean, Z2!" Tsukishuluo reacted and couldn't help but laugh.

K1 then understood, "You mean, Z2 can't contact us, so they will bring someone to save us?"

Wan Guohou made an affirmative gesture.

"How did he know we were here?" K1 still couldn't figure it out, "I just told him that we came to Suzhou to find Hanako." ”

"There are no mechanisms in the temple, and Z2 will soon find out about the anomaly of the dry well. "But I don't think they can open the outermost two doors." ”

"What then?, will Z2 be able to find us?" K1 asked quickly.

Wan Guohou walked to the pile of debris, took out a bottle of mineral water, he unscrewed the lid, poured water into the corner of the wall, and said calmly: "Prepare to go back." ”

K1 looked puzzled, "Are we going to open the altar of earth and wood?"

Wan Guohou had already poured out a bottle of water at this time, he shook the bottle, and after making sure that it was clean, he picked up a dirty dry rag. Then he walked to the table, wrapped a microphone pen in a rag, and put it in the mineral water bottle.

Instead of answering K1's question, he handed the bottle to K1, "Put it away." Then, he touched the chair again, "K1, take this chair apart, pick a piece, pour some oil, and use it as a torch." He smiled slyly, "This wood is burnable." ”

"Master Hou, can I set a fire first and burn this place down?" K1 looked at the pile of materials on the table of the old Hanako, and looked unhappy.

"Forget it. Anyway, when he comes back, he will definitely find that someone has come, and he will burn everything himself. K1 felt that Wan Guohou had a point, so he picked up his chair and slammed it against the wall. After he tied the cloth and poured oil, Wan Guohou bent down and picked up Yue Shuluo, "Let's go." Wan Guohou said, already walking out, K1 hurriedly lit the torch he had just made.

K1 said as he walked in front, "Master Hou, what kind of wood is this, it's so fragrant!" Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "This is a thousand-year-old ebony, used to make a coffin, it couldn't be better." K1 listened and glanced back at Wan Guohou in surprise.

The three of them returned to the high platform in the center of the hall, and Wan Guohou put Bi Fangyu's pendant back into the dark compartment of the red altar. K1 asked puzzledly, "Master Hou, why do you want to restore these altars? Isn't this helping the old man call Hanako?"

Wan Guohou shook his head, "If we want to go out, we have to restore everything as much as possible, simulating the appearance of the old Hanako going out." He usually goes out, and he will do the same.

"The mountain is not high, Z2 should be able to imagine, the three of us are trapped behind the faucet door in the well. He could find someone to survey the mountain, then find a suitable place, drill a hole, and enter through the hole, digging an easy passage. Wan Guohou looked at the altar in front of him and touched his beard, "They should be able to use the detector to monitor our voices, and through sound location, they can find us." ”

"Great!" said K1 almost jumped for joy.

"But there's a problem. Wan Guohou continued, "If there is any obstacle outside this underground palace, it may affect their monitoring. ”

"What do you mean?" K1's smile didn't fade yet.

"That is to say, there are drainage channels outside the underground palace, and perhaps there is water in some of the passages. Sound travels faster in water than in air, which will affect Z2's judgment of where we are. Wan Guohou's expression remained unchanged, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"That's not going to work! we'll have to find a way to remind Z2!" K1 said anxiously.

Yue Shuluo sat on the ground, leaning against the black altar, and her calm appearance was admired by the Marquis of Wanguo. The vast majority of women will lose control when they are trapped, and even scream and cry when they are trapped, but Yue Shuluo is very calm all the way, and her reason is far beyond Wan Guohou's expectations.

At this time, Yue Shuluo suddenly raised his head and glanced at Wan Guohou, "Master Hou, I suggest checking these altars again." ”

"How many times have you seen them?" K1 said with some anger, "and if you look at them again, they're just a pile of broken stones, and you can't see any flowers." ”

Wan Guohou said, "It doesn't hurt to check it again." With that, he walked over to the black altar where the moon was leaning. This time, he looked very closely. When he touched the bottom of the stone basin, he was suddenly stunned. Then, he fumbled for a while, "K1, shine the torch over and put my hand in place." ”

K1 walked over and shone the torch to the bottom of the stone basin. He took a closer look and said in amazement, "Hey, there are lines here, it looks like a comb?"

Wan Guohou took a deep breath, and then pressed the bottom of the stone basin. A "boom" sound came from behind them, and K1 turned his head in surprise, "Master Hou, the Star Gate has risen!"

"Let's go!" Wan Guohou said briefly. K1 rushed ahead, Wan Guohou hugged the moon and fell, and the three of them walked out of the hall along the steps leading to the Star Gate.

K1 smiled: "Mr. Yue, you have made meritorious service! Thanks to you for reminding me!" He seemed to have forgotten his complaint just now, and smiled like a child.

Yue Shuluo leaned on the arms of Wanguo Hou, pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

The three of them walked to the front of the dragon head door, and K1 confidently checked along the door, but his expression gradually became embarrassed, "Master Hou, this door ...... Doesn't seem to have a mechanism?"

Just then, there was a faint sound outside the door.

K1 immediately shouted, "Is it Z2?"

There seemed to be a response from outside the door, but they couldn't hear what the other was saying at all, the stone door was too thick to hinder the transmission of sound.

Wan Guohou thought for a moment, "K1, you open the bag of the Moon Manager and take out the lipstick." Then, he comforted Yue Shuluo and said, "Go back and buy a drawer to compensate you." ”

K1 took out the lipstick, but he didn't understand Wan Guohou's intentions.

"You draw a cross in the center of this door, and you have to draw it neatly. When K1 was finished, Wan Guohou said, "Now you hit the left side of the cross with the butt of your gun, three times in a row, then the top of the cross, and finally the left side again." ”

K1 then turned the corner, "Haha, I see." Master Hou, you want me to tell the people outside how to open this dragon head door, right?" he happily did as Wan Guohou commanded.

There was silence outside for a moment, and then there was a noise. Wan Guohou took a step back behind holding Yueshu, "K1, you are ready, it may be an enemy to meet us. ”

"Why don't you just open the door when you call Hanako?" K1 asked, confused.

"Like you said, there may be a fraud. Wan Guohou said.

At this time, the stone gate slowly rose, and K1 held a gun, and he didn't dare to come out.
