Volume 1 The First Entry into the Troubled Times Chapter 230 The Key to the One Hundred Floors (I)
Qianqiu turned around and said, "If you want to open this door, the clue to this key must be in the last ten floors. However, if we want to find clues and keys, we will definitely not be able to reach the first floor before dawn. I'd like to ask your opinion on whether you should continue the search or come back next time. β
Yang Xian took the lead and said, "Brother Qian, what do you think is more secure?"
Chiaki said, "I tend to look for keys. After all, we have already reached the ninety-ninth floor, and I am a little unwilling to go down empty-handed like this. My personality is just messy, and you'd better listen to your heart. But what I need to tell you is that if you come to this Mida Pagoda next time, maybe it will be a different scene. β
"Why do you say that?" asked Huangfu Qingyu.
Qianqiu replied: "To be honest, Yang Xian and I secretly came to the Mida Pagoda once, and the last time I saw it was completely different from what I saw this time, and I guess that each floor of this Mida Pagoda will change with the times." β
Yang Xian said: "If we miss the opportunity at dawn, we are afraid that we will have to stay here all day and wait until tomorrow to go out." β
Huangfu Qingyu said: "I don't have any opinion on continuing to search for the key, but there are a few problems that must be solved. β
"What's the problem?" asked Be-Zero, who hadn't spoken for a long time.
Huangfu Qingyu said: "We are very seriously consumed now, there is no food supply, I am afraid that tomorrow we will not have the strength to go down this hundred floors again." β
Qianqiu said: "Huangfu, you don't have to worry about this, there is still some food in my Qiankun bag, which is enough for a few of us to last a day." β
Huangfu nodded lightly and said, "If we stay here, we will disappear from the sect one day in the next day, how will we explain after we go out?"
Bei Ling said: "This is simple, we can say that we are cultivating in our own rooms. After all, there will be a competition tomorrow. β
Huangfu Qingyu continued to nod and said, "Then the last question, what if we waste a day and still can't find the clue? Or even if we find the clue and go up to the hundred floors, what if there are not a few of us in it?"
"We can't control this, just do our best. Chiaki said.
Bezero said, "I also agree with Chiaki. β
Huangfu Qingyu then said: "Since you are all mentally prepared, then I also agree." β
Yang Xian said: "I have no opinion. β
Bezero said: "In that case, then Qianqiu can tell me your plan." β
Qianqiu nodded and said, "These ten steps, when I just explored, I found some problems, I feel that these woods are a little different from ordinary wood, and there is more than one keyhole on the wooden door sealed by the golden contract talisman. β
Bei Ling said: "I also saw that there are many keyholes on this wooden door, there are ten of them, and they are not the same shape. β
In this way, then it makes sense. The ten-story treasure tower, the ten wooden staircases, and the ten keyholes are the clues. Chiaki analyzed.
"Then let's go down first, layer by layer, and look for the key. Yang Xian suggested.
Several people immediately ran to the lower floor, until they returned to the ninety-first floor.
Just now they went upstairs, only caring about climbing a hundred floors, and they didn't pay attention to what the last ten stories of the town pagoda looked like, they only felt that they were full of treasures.
This time, as soon as they came back, Qianqiu and the others found that the treasure chest on the ninety-first floor was the most dilapidated.
Qianqiu said: "The treasure chest on the ninety-first floor is the most dilapidated, and the chest opened is also the most, I don't know which chest the key is hidden in." β
The four of them didn't care whether the treasures in the box were poisonous or not, so they only cared about rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find clues.
After rummaging for about an hour, I still couldn't find a clue about the key.
Bei Ling said: "Qianqiu, are you pretending to be smart? The key to open the door actually has nothing to do with this ten-story treasure pagoda at all. β
Chiaki said, "We must have missed something. β
He then closed his eyes and began to reminisce little by little.
Yang Xian said: "If it is related to the Mida Tower, maybe we have already seen the clues when we went up the tower." β
Chiaki then takes charge of the memories while the other three continue to search for clues to the key.
γOriental School: Male Disciple Annexγ
Yu Wenhua's heart was beating non-stop, and he couldn't sleep.
At this moment, he has been thinking about the conversation he heard between Huangfu Qingyu and Bei Ling that day.
"They want to enter the Mida Tower, if I am, when will they choose to enter the tower?" said Yu Wenxin.
These days, he is also studying the Mida Pagoda, but he has never come to a conclusion.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who, you're knocking on the door in the early morning?" Yu Wenhua heard it and said impatiently.
"Big brother, it's us. The voices of Qibei and Liuli sounded outside the door.
"Come in, come in. "To the little brother who followed him, Yu Wenhua was also polite, and when he heard that it was them, he lowered his voice and beckoned the two of them in.
Qibei and Liuli entered the house and found that Yu Wenhua did not take off his clothes and sleep, but sat on the bed with his cheeks in a serious manner.
"You two don't sleep, what are you doing here?" asked U Wenhua.
Qibei said with a smile: "Big brother, Liuli and I came here to tell you that the day is a decisive battle." β
"I'm still going to tell me with you two shit?" Yu Wenhua was furious and scolded, "You two came to me at night just to talk about this?"
Qibei and Liuli hurriedly apologized: "Big brother, these days are free, and you will see the dragon as soon as you arrive in the daytime, we can't tell you." We're expecting you'll be in your room at night, thinking we're going to come and see you. β
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Yu Wenhua immediately sat up and said, "Why didn't I think that they must be going to Namida Pagoda at night." β
Seeing that Qibei and Liuli were in a fog, Yu Wenhua patiently explained to the two.
Liuli said: "Then let's go to their room and catch it!"
Yu Wenhua slapped Liuli's head hard and said, "You are stupid, is it any good to arrest them?"
"Of course there is, to give you a breath, that Qianqiu has always been against you. There is also the emperor's light feather, who has been pressing ......" Liuli just wanted to continue, but saw Qibei's face on the side.
"Shut up! Liuli, if you can't speak, don't talk about it. Qibei hurriedly rounded the field.
Yu Wenhua said: "It stands to reason that they will definitely take advantage of these days when they don't need to practice in the morning to go to the Mida Pagoda, maybe they will already be there tonight, we just need to block them at the door of the Mida Pagoda, if there are treasures, they can also contribute to us, if not, we will go and tell the master." It just so happens that you two have been following me for so long, and I don't have anything for you, so if I harvest some treasures this time, I'll give it to you. β
"Thank you, big brother!" Liuli and Qibei hurriedly thanked him.
The three of them immediately took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright and hurriedly went to the room of Huangfu Qingyu and Qianqiu to find out.
Liuli said: "Big brother, as you expected, there is no one in Qianqiu's room. β
"There is no room in Huangfu Qingyu. Qibei said, "The eldest brother is really smart, he actually expected that they would take advantage of the night to visit the Namida Pagoda. β
Yu Wenhua said: "What I wonder about now is when they will come out. β
"It should be in the morning. Qibei said, "I heard from a senior brother in our Alchemy Hall that the Mida Pagoda is generally more valuable in the morning, and if they enter it at night, they will definitely come out at the beginning of the morning dew, when it is more valuable." Three hours is enough for them. Qibei said.
Yu Wenhua looked at the sky and asked, "How long is it until the time of Mao?"
"In less than an hour, let's just go catch a spot!" Qibei said excitedly.
Yu Wenhua nodded and said, "Let's go, go to the Mida Pagoda to guard them!"
γOriental Sect Mida Towerγ
Qianqiu and Yang Xian had just put down the lid of a box and sat down on the ground tiredly.
"Brother Qian, it can't go on like this. If you rummage through the boxes, you don't know when you will find them. Yang Xian said.
The other zero on the side also lost patience and said, "The old lady is not looking for it!"
Huangfu Qingyu didn't complain, just gasped slightly and sat down.
Yang Xian thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Brother Qian, when you first ate it, didn't you say that you saw some murals on the second floor?"
Qianqiu nodded and said, "It's on the second floor, but what does it have to do with the key to the hundred floors?"
"I remember when you said that the murals on the second floor are about the story of the predecessors of the Mida Pagoda, right?" asked Yang Xian.
Chiaki replied, "Not bad." β
Yang Xian asked again: "Do you remember how many paintings there are?"
"The words of the mural....... One, two, three...... Ten paintings. Chiaki said.
Don't zero listen, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yang Xian, do you mean to say ......?"
"That's right. Yang Xian nodded and continued to ask, "Brother Qian, can you recall the contents of those ten paintings, and then try to combine them with the scenes here." β
Yang first guided Qianqiu.
Chiaki nodded, slowly recalled, and said, "The first painting is about ...... I thought of it! In the first painting there is a number seven, and in the northwest corner of the second painting there is a number ......."
He slowly recalled all the peculiarities.
The first nine paintings were all thought of, but only the tenth painting, Chiaki was stuck.
"I still thought that those murals were a little strange, I didn't care about them when I first saw them, and now I want to go back, these numbers are the most suspicious!"
Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not enough to have numbers. β
Immediately, Yang first looked at the layout of the ninety-first floor, and then asked, "Brother Qian, you have an amazing memory, do you still remember the location of those numbers?"
Chiaki thought about it for a moment and said, "If the top of the painting is north and the bottom of the painting is south, the number of the first painting is in this position. β
Qianqiu walked to a place with a few people, pointed to a box and said.
Bezero hurriedly stepped forward, opened the box, looked at it, and found that there were quite a few things inside.
"Get out of the way and take a look!" Yang Xian said.
After that, I started to move the boxes.
With a "boom", Yang first poured out all the gold, silver and jewelry inside, and found that the bottom of the box was inlaid with a key.
"Sure enough, that's right!" Chiaki said in surprise.
Yang first took out the key with his hand, looked at it, and found that the length was a little wrong, so he said: "This key seems to be missing a paragraph." β
"Don't worry about it for now, it seems that we are thinking the right way. Huangfu Qingyu said, "Qianqiu, you continue to recall, let's hurry up to the tower." β
At this time, the Yu Wenhua people who were ambushed outside the Mida Pagoda were a little sleepy.
Qibei couldn't help asking, "Big brother, when will they come out?" β
Yu Wenhua scolded softly and said, "Don't speak, it's going to be more worth it soon, they will definitely come out soon." β
The rooster crowed at dawn, and a few more worthy guards came.
Yu Wenhua stared closely at the gate of the Mida Pagoda, and did not move until the value was finished.
"It's weird! Could we have guessed wrong?" Liuli touched his head, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
