Chapter 130: The Library Pavilion's Secret Room
"This floor can return to its original position on its own, so we don't have to worry about it, let's go in and have a look. ”
Guo Chen confirmed that the floor could return to its original position on its own, so he stood up and said that since the floor could be restored to its original state by itself, they didn't need to worry about being discovered.
Anyway, they want to avoid the search of the Wandering Shadow Sect, and this secret room is a good place, so they don't need to worry about being discovered after entering.
"Just ......"
As soon as Ling Yunhao wanted to go up and ask what had just happened, he felt that someone was coming this way, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"I'll explain later, hurry into the secret room. ”
Guo Chen had already felt it, and after saying this, he immediately pushed the bookshelf to open the entrance to the secret room, and Shen Xuan and Ling Yunhao also immediately helped, and soon the entrance would be for one person to pass through.
The three of them entered the secret room in turn, and Shen Xuan, who walked at the end, closed the entrance to the secret room, and then they found that this was different from the secret room they had been to before, there was light here.
Although the light is not very strong, it can allow them to see the situation nearby, but it doesn't seem to be moonlight, it should be a spiritual weapon in operation.
With this faint light, they found that this was a staircase, which could go up or down, and now Ling Yunhao was above Shen Xuan, and Guo Chen was below.
Then they noticed a stick on the side, Shen Xuan picked it up and looked at it, and said, "I don't know what material it is, it's very hard." ”
Looking at the entrance of the secret room, and then at the edge of the stairs facing the entrance, Guo Chen knew what this thing was for, and began to command Shen Xuan to operate.
Shen Xuan followed his instructions and inserted the stick in his hand into the gap in the entrance of the secret room, and Guo Chen himself came to the stairs facing the door, not knowing what he had done, anyway, he broke a stone from it.
The other end of the stick, which had been placed diagonally on the stairs because of its length, was put into the gap he had just made, and then he didn't know what to do, and the stone was put back by him.
Unlike just now, the other end of the stick is also stuck in the staircase, so there should be no way to open the entrance to the secret room, which can also be locked inside.
"The mechanism here is much simpler than in the royal dungeon, and you can see for yourself, no one will just dig a hole in the stairs. ”
He was telling the truth, the mechanism in the palace, even if he opened the Nightmare Pupil, he couldn't find the clue at all, but the mechanism here, he could see it at a glance.
"Shall we go up or should we go down?"
This is indeed a difficult problem to solve, and now they are in an awkward position, not at the top or at the bottom, and it is possible to go wrong either way.
Although the mechanism here does not seem to be as strong as the Imperial City Dungeon, judging from the light here, it is very likely that someone has come here frequently, but he should not be there now.
It's obvious that it's the stick, if there were anyone here right now, the stick would be stuck between the staircase and the entrance, and wouldn't be blocked from the outside.
"Let's go up and have a look first, I remember you said that the illusion space released by Han Hao just now is bright gold, right?"
Ling Yunhao understood what he meant, and nodded, the light here is also brilliant gold, and the one that provides light here is likely to be Han Hao's inheritance.
Shen Xuanna naturally didn't have any opinions, and the three of them followed the stairs all the way to the top of the secret room, but they didn't find where the light came from, and naturally they didn't find the inheritance.
"Strange, if it's not coming from above, is it down there?"
He muttered as he looked down to see if he could find the source of the light, but when he looked down, he saw that something was wrong, that the shadow was wrong.
Their shadows were so pale that they could barely be seen anymore, and this alone was enough for Guo Chen to determine the source of the light.
This is only possible if the light is shining at multiple angles at the same time, and not only their shadows, but also the shadows of the stairs here, are enough to speak.
The stairs and walls here can emit a faint light, but because the light gets weaker the further down, they have a preconceived idea that the light is shining from above.
But that's not right, if that's the case, if the light gets weaker the further down, then the things that make the walls and stairs glow should indeed be on top!
Guo Chen pushed the nearby and above walls, but he really didn't find anything, and there was no way to open it, it seemed that there was indeed only one entrance on the second floor.
When they pushed the bookshelves on the second floor, the walls above showed no signs of movement at all, but it only meant that it had nothing to do with the mechanism they had entered, and it could not prove that there was no way to move.
But now that it's been confirmed, there's really no way to move, so the question is, where are the things that make these walls glow now?
"Let's go down and take a look, there should be nothing up there, if all the stairs in this pillar are, then there should be a space under the library.
After making sure that there was nothing nearby, Guo Chen said this, and then the three of them began to walk down, if there was nothing here, then it could only be below.
And from where they entered the pillar, to the very top of the column, there were all stairs, and nothing else, and even then, it seemed slightly crowded.
I don't know which one lacks a heart-eye design, each step is very wide, and the three of them stand on the same section, and they can only occupy half of the range, and the other half is not used at all.
If the whole pillar is like this, then there must be an underground space underground, otherwise why is this secret room built?
Once again, the three of them made their way to the bottom of the stairs, this time they couldn't go up faster, because it was a spiraling staircase, and there were places where they could jump directly.
There is no need to climb section by section, the speed will naturally be faster, and as they expected, there is indeed an underground space here, which looks like it should be a study.
The shelves were densely packed with all kinds of books, and when they had just arrived from the library, their first reaction was that they thought these books were familiar, and the second reaction was that these books were those in the library.
It's exactly the same, the quantity is the same, that is, the ones that have no content are removed, and all the books that have content, there is a copy here.
In addition to the various books on the shelves, there were also a lot of messy papers on the ground, Guo Chen picked up a few casually, looked at them, and said, "This seems to be studying the exercises, right?"
"So there should be a person from the Flowing Shadow Sect here, who is concentrating on studying the exercises, wanting to improve and further enhance the strength of the Flowing Shadow Sect?"
"It makes sense, built in this place to avoid outsiders and to explain all the situations, but there is still no way to explain a problem. ”
He nodded, and then asked the question, but then moved on to the next question, attracting the attention of Shen Xuan, who didn't know what he was doing.
"If he's just doing research here, then the entrance is on the second floor, what is the staircase going up for?"
His words directly made the other two fall silent, which really can't be explained, if he is just doing research underground, he only needs to go down the stairs.
The three of them were silent for a long time, and it was Guo Chen who was the first to break the silence, and he said, "Don't worry about these for now, let's see if there is anything useful here." ”
As he spoke, he squatted down and began to collect the papers on the ground, while Ling Yunhao went to the bookshelf on the side to see if there was anything useful, and Shen Xuan continued to wonder what he was busy with.
The first to say that he had discovered was Guo Chen, and among these papers, he found a significantly different, not that the paper itself was different, but what was written on it.
Basically, all the papers here are written on some cultivation experiences, and then they are not the spiritual power operation routes of cultivation, but only this one is written in ancient characters.
Through the abilities given to him by the pupil of nightmares, he could see that what was written on it was not finished yet, but the general content was that a person like him had appeared in the royal family.
This "he" refers to the person who wrote these contents, but the following content is not written down, and it is difficult to guess what he wants to say based on these contents alone. 、
Looking at this piece of paper, Guo Chen and Ling Yunhao fell into deep thought, but Shen Xuan, who was still over there and didn't know what to study.
"Wait, if you look closely, it seems that this ancient script is not very proficient in writing, could it be that it was written by modern people, deliberately communicating in ancient characters, in order not to let people understand the content of their conversations. ”
Suddenly, Guo Chen thought of a possibility and said it directly, if this was originally intended to be a letter to someone, then it would make sense.
So who needs to hide the content of the conversation?
A person who can't tell his identity, can't reveal his identity, although it can't be determined yet, but now it seems that this person is likely to belong to the Nightmare Clan.
The person he said in his letter should also be a member of the Nightmare Clan, and when he thinks of the royal family, the first thing that comes to mind is the Nightmare Clan in the underground palace.
"Assuming our guess is correct, then this person should be our clansman, and he wants to tell someone that there is also a member of our clan in the royal family. ”
Guo Chen said such a thing, and once again = attracted Shen Xuan's attention, he said: "No, if he has been studying these here, how can he know the news of the royal family." ”
As soon as Shen Xuan's words came out, Guo Chen and Ling Yunhao suddenly opened their mouths, glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "This was sent to him by someone else." ”
In this case, the person who wrote this letter should not be the person who has been studying the exercises here, and he should not be a member of the Nightmare Clan, but he knows the people of the Nightmare Clan.
He is supposed to play the role of a guide, just like Li Ye, guiding the people of the Nightmare Clan to accept the inheritance, but for now, his mission should have failed.
"No, the inheritance is here, and it already has the symbol of the magic pupil on it. ”
Shen Xuan said coldly again, and then something was thrown from his direction, Guo Chen subconsciously reached out to catch it, it was indeed a good inheritance of the Nightmare Clan.
Finding the inheritance should have been a joyous thing, but they couldn't be happy at all, because there was a huge mystery that followed.
