Chapter Thirty-Eight: Too Unlucky
"Don't ask so much now, now that we are out of danger, let's hurry up and find the palace of the Jiuli tribe." He said in a light tone, I looked at him in astonishment, this guy seems to change his face too quickly, right?
I looked up at the surroundings, only to find that there were actually more than a dozen fist-sized night pearls inlaid on the top, I really don't understand why I had to wait for that fake Mu Xiu to disappear before it glowed, what did I do before.
Suddenly, I felt a slight vibration in the ground, as if it was coming from the direction of the dragon and lion, could it be that thing has come back to life? But this thing was not what I thought, there was a loud "boom", and the originally huge dragon and lion statue turned into ashes in an instant.
When I felt that there was no movement, I let go of my hand, only to find that the place we were in now had changed to the beginning, and the exit was still standing there, and it seemed that all this was caused by the statue.
But those night pearls actually gradually lost their light at this time, and in a hurry, I quickly bent down to pick up the miner's lamp on the ground, and lit the miner's lamp before it darkened.
"Mu Xiu, let's hurry up." I urged.
But Mu Xiu didn't pay attention to it, but walked to the place where the dragon and lion statue was just now, I didn't know what he was going to do, so I had to chase after him with a miner's lamp, although it seems to be calm now, but why the fake Mu Xiu just now appeared, I don't know, it doesn't seem like he wants to harm me, otherwise he wouldn't have dealt with the dragon and lion.
"Mu Xiu, that..." I walked up to him and wanted to ask something more, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed again, and I still didn't ask.
Hearing this, Mu Xiu turned to me in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"No... It's all right......" I said, shaking my head, and then asked, "Do you think there's a way over here?" β
"Hmm!" He replied without thinking, and when he was done, he continued to walk, and when he came to the pile of stone foam made of the dragon and lion statue, he stretched out his foot and tossed on the ground a few times, and I hurried forward to illuminate him.
"This isβ" I asked, puzzled, looking at the strange patterns on the ground.
Mu Xiu glanced up at me, then squatted down and used his hand to remove the stone foam on the pattern, and after a while, a circular pattern appeared on the ground, I saw Mu Xiu hesitate for a while, and then he reached out and pressed it, "squeak", the pattern was pressed a few centimeters deep, and then I heard some vibration sounds.
"Stone Gate Mechanism?" If I'm not mistaken, this pattern should be hidden under the dragon and lion statue, if this dragon and lion were not destroyed, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find it, but that fake Mu Xiu also wanted to find this switch?
"Let's go!" Just as I was in a fugue, Mu Xiu suddenly said to me, and then he took the lead in the stone gate, and I had to follow quickly.
After entering, the stone gate fell, and by the light of the miner's lamp, I found that we entered a two-meter-wide corridor, which looked like a long corridor, as if there was no end to it, and the Jiuli Palace was not just in front?
After walking for about an hour, I suddenly noticed a bright light in front of me, and my first reaction was that I thought it might be an exit.
But as we walked past, I realized that my judgment had been wrong again, and in front of us was a huge palace, where there were at least a thousand lampstands, all of them burning, no wonder it was so bright.
"Is there anyone living here?" I was puzzled and asked, because this place looks like a place where people live, and there are so many lampstands burning, it must be someone living here.
"This is an everlasting lamp that will not be extinguished for 10,000 years."
I've heard of this everlasting lamp, which is made from fish fat from the deep sea, and it is said that it can not be extinguished for a long time, but it will not be extinguished for 10,000 years.
"So that's the case, I didn't expect the palace of the Jiuli tribe to be so magnificent, where did you say these people went later?"
Mu Xiu just glanced at me, then stood up straight and walked inside, I saw that he seemed to be okay at this time, as if he had not been injured at all just now.
"This is the main hall, if you look at anything pleasing to the eye, take it!"
I listened to this tone as if he was the master of this house, as if to say that this is my house, I can take whatever I like, I just looked at the palace curiously, and did not take those treasures, and then I looked at it and suddenly saw something that caught my eye.
Because I seem to have seen this thing somewhere, what I saw in front of me was a crown inlaid with three white jade, which looked priceless, but I seemed to suddenly think of something, "Crown? White jade crown? Isn't that the same crown that the woman wears in the portrait? β
I felt that I had guessed correctly this time, and then turned to look at Mu Xiu, wanting to tell him what I had found, but I couldn't see anyone else, and I couldn't find him everywhere.
I wanted to shout his name at this time, but I was afraid of attracting some monster, so I picked up the crown and wrapped it in cloth and put it in my bag, at this time Mu Xiu was not around, I felt very uneasy, I even wondered if that guy deliberately left me here, and then ran away by himself?
But I don't think he's that kind of person, maybe he found something and walked away temporarily, but why didn't he call me? This doesn't look like his style! But my intuition told me that with his abilities, nothing would happen, and I settled down.
At this time, although the place I was in, the room was full of rare treasures, but now I was not interested at all, I was very scared so I didn't dare to move, and then retreated to a place and squatted down.
As I crouched down, my hands were casually propped up on the ground, but at that moment, I felt as if I had touched something, and then I looked down and saw that it was a pale and bloodless hand.
I looked slowly up with that hand, and saw an equally pale and bloodless face looking at me, and a strange smile, I was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly I stood up with an "ah", and I took a few steps back to find the "person" coming out of the table.
At the moment, I was scared stupid, standing in place and helpless, I had already cried in my heart, what happened this year, is it too old? Why are you so unlucky?
