As soon as the pattern came out, the ciphertext surrounding the altar also returned to the correct order. Xu Changqing whispered their meaning: "May the princess's soul rest in peace from now on, and may the Kuwata Great Myojin rain down the flame of revenge for her; May the wrath of God devour all the wicked ones from their filthy ** desecration of this place. Latecomers, we leave a glimmer of hope at the twenty-first opening of the altar. Follow the dragonfly's instructions and pry open the limestone of the altar. Pay attention to the shadow of the third, fifth, and seventh pillars, and be aware of the shedding of blood. That's all for us. Whoever reads this secret, may your heart be upright and selfless. ”

Xu Changqing stepped on the square bricks and walked to the direction pointed by the dragonfly's tail. He knocked on the brick and said, "It's hollow down here, there must be something odd." Is this the twenty-first gap? ”

"Oh, pry it open?" The succubus is eager to try.

"Don't!"

Xu Changqing squatted down, squinted his eyes and looked at the central altar, "Pay attention to the shadows of the third, fifth, and seventh pillars, well, imagine pulling a line between the altar and the floor tiles......" He calculated the position of the pillar's projection, and said softly: "Who is that, Honglu Magic Tea, help chisel a quarter of the way down the altar, yes, that's where I pointed it out to you." ”

The banshee Kuroki silently flew over and used her sword to spot the position indicated by Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing walked over and knocked on the position of the pit. His hands were too heavy, and the greystone shattered under his curled knuckles. A small hole is peeking out under the stone face. There is a bronze pull ring in the cave. After thousands of years, it is still smooth. Xu Changqing tried to pull it gently. The ring was pulled out in response, and a rustling sound sounded all around, like a drizzle in March.

With a rustling sound, the tombstone slowly rotated, revealing a three-foot-square opening. A stubby round stone platform rises up, and the top is carved in the shape of a palm, holding something.

Everyone had an expectant look on their faces. Even Xu Changqing couldn't control his emotions a little.

The palm carved from black stone has slender and soft lines, five fingers are held in a virtual position, and a shiny thing is placed in the palm of the palm. Xu Changqing picked it up, looked at it over and over, and finally asked in confusion: "What is this for?" ”

The shiny thing was made of mutton fat-like translucent white stone, sharpened into the shape of a knife. Could this be a jade knife?

Xu Changqing picked up the jade knife and gently tried the blade. Although thousands of years have passed, the blade is still sharp. "Be conscious of bloodshed?" As if thinking of something, he turned the blade at an angle and aimed it at himself.

"Master," the succubus Nobuta cried out in a lost voice, "what are you going to do?" ”

"Nothing, a little blood."

Smiling easily, Xu Changqing spread out his palm, and the knife in his right hand slashed through the palm of his hand. His skin was extremely tough, and it took a lot of force to cut it. Bright red blood slowly flowed out, staining the tip of the knife red and translucent. The jade knife was under great pressure, and the tip of the knife continued to wear away, and at the end, it suddenly broke off with a "bang".

Tick, tick, blood flowed out of the wound in the palm of the hand, slowly gathered, and finally flowed into the palm carved out of black stone.

It does seem to have worked. The altar began to tremble, becoming more and more violent.

"It's going to collapse!" Xu Changqing quickly retreated, and the banshee and succubus also dodged away.

However, the altar did not collapse, but the central part rose upwards. The stone bricks on the floor shattered, and a black stone platform slowly rose.

"I can't believe it......" Xu Changqing looked at all this in front of him in a daze, almost forgetting to blink.

On the stone platform was a crystal coffin, shining with a cold color under the pale flames. Apparently lying in the coffin was a person, petite and looking like it was supposed to be a woman.

This is Princess Snow that the miners are desperately trying to protect? Who is she? If the previous main hall, altar and mausoleum mechanism may still be made by manpower, then this crystal coffin can't be said anyway. Based on Xu Changqing's understanding of the ancient history of Fusang, the civilization of Ezo a thousand years ago was definitely not advanced to this extent. In fact, it is unbelievable that thousands of miners were able to complete such a huge project in the heart of the mountain.

With full doubts, Xu Changqing walked towards the crystal coffin. He pushed open the lid of the coffin, and sure enough, he saw a young girl dressed in white. Even her hair was silvery-white, and her skin was as white as snow. At this moment, she was lying quietly on her side in the crystal coffin, her hands on the pillow, and she looked like she was asleep.

"This ...... This is the ancient people? Succubus Nobuta said in surprise, "It's a little bit different from humans." ”

You don't look like it, Xu Changqing complained silently, tentatively touching the hair of the girl in white. However, before his hand touched his hair, the girl in white suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

Her eyes are burgundy, like wine after being crafted and carefully filtered. Undoubtedly, humans would never have such pupils.

"Ah...... When ......" The girl in white looked at Xu Changqing and slowly sat up, "Did you break the seal?" ”

Her ancient Japanese was not very easy to understand, and Xu Changqing was confused when she heard it. Thankfully, I understood the last word. "Seals?" He asked rhetorically.

"Of course, I set the seal. In accordance with God's will, I gathered the believers, guided them through the construction, and then sealed myself. Now the question is," the girl in white looked at Xu Changqing carefully, "Who are you?" Who guided you here? ”

"Me? I am an adventurer who specializes in exploring ancient ruins. Through a chance channel, I heard the news and came. ”

"Adventurer? What is that? Are the channels used for irrigation? ”
