Chapter 154: His Highness's Secret Path

"Sister Ruolan, don't we have to keep up with them?"

Seeing that Ruolan was still unhurriedly surveying the furnishings in the main hall, Li Mu asked suspiciously, the other forces had already entered the depths of the palace along a passage, and Ruolan and Fu Bo didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Brother, this cave treasure hunt is not faster than anyone else, what is important is chance, fate has not arrived, even if you run all over the palace, you will find nothing, come, look at this golden lion, do you feel that something is missing?"

Following Ruolan's point, Li Mu carefully looked at the two golden lions, the one on the right was a male lion, with long hair, majestic and majestic, with a semi-prostrate posture, and his right paw was hanging out in the air, while the one on the left was a female lion, also with bright eyes, and a lion cub under his right paw.

"Sister Ruolan, I don't see anything wrong, don't sell it, tell me what's wrong with this lion?"

Li Mu inspected the two golden lions several times, inside and out, and finally even Fang Yan and Lin Qingzhu joined the exploration team, but the three of them were busy and still didn't find any clues.

"This lioness has a lion cub under her paws, which symbolizes the endless offspring, but this male lion has his right paw hanging in the air, doesn't it feel strange, in fact, there should be a golden ball under its paws, which symbolizes supreme power. ”

Seeing that Li Mu really couldn't see the problem, Ruolan opened her mouth to explain that these two golden lions were not built at random, but had such a deep meaning.

"So if we can find the missing orb and put it back where it should be, we might be able to touch some kind of mechanism. ”

Ruolan stood next to the golden lion statue, patted the lion's claws hanging in the air and said, this confidence from profound knowledge and indifferent and confident expressions made Li Mu and the three of them involuntarily applaud.

"Babble, babble. ”

Suddenly feeling something pulling at his pants, Li Mu looked down and found that the little monkey who had climbed up the beam to play after entering the palace didn't know when he came back, at this time, Xiaopi looked at Li Mu with big eyes, and the two little paws were holding a golden ball, round ball, round ball!

Li Mu originally seemed to pick up this leather monkey, so that he could teach it a lesson and run around, but he didn't expect this cute little guy to be so understanding, and he really wanted to sleep and sent a pillow to the intimate little padded jacket.

"Oh my God, this should be the missing golden ball, Li Mu, your little monkey is too powerful, can you find it so soon?"

Ruolan took the golden ball from Xiaopi's hand, and after careful comparison, she found that it was the key they were looking for, and she couldn't help but look at the little monkey a few more times with surprise in her eyes, and sighed in her heart where this monkey was sacred.

"Sister Ruolan, don't praise it, as far as I know about it, it happened to find this golden ball when it was wandering around, and then simply wanted to bring it back and exchange it with me for something to eat. ”

Looking at the little monkey lying on Lin Qingzhu's shoulder with a smug face, Li Mu couldn't help but throw a roll of his eyes, just how could he hide it from himself in that little bend, it was just a coincidence.

"Babble, babble"

Seeing that Li Mu not only did not praise himself, but also slandered his own merits indifferently, the little monkey was not happy on the spot, babbling and screaming that a monkey turned over, jumped on Li Mu's head, and began to pull his hair.

"You skin monkey, you come down, your skin is itchy, don't you, believe it or not, I stewed you. ”

The others were accustomed to the daily fights between Li Mu and Xiaopi, completely ignoring the competition between this person and a monkey, but all gathered around the golden lion statue, Ruolan carefully studied the position, and carefully stuffed the golden ball under the right paw of the male lion.

"Huh, there's no movement, is there a mistake?"

Ruolan looked at the unresponsive golden lion in front of her suspiciously, her reasoning should not be wrong, could it be that the removal of this golden ball is really just a coincidence, and there is really no mechanism design in this hall?

"Boom ......"

Just as Ruolan wanted to take out the golden ball and rearrange it, a low roar remembered, and the two golden lions, one on the left and one on the right, began to slowly gather, and then slowly descended, finally revealing a square entrance more than three feet long and wide, and a granite staircase appeared in front of everyone.

"Amazing, Sister Ruolan, there is really a secret way. ”

Seeing that the mechanism was activated, Li Mu also threw the little monkey into Lin Qingzhu's arms, and stepped forward to look at the stairs leading to the bottom of the main hall.

There are more than a hundred steps on this staircase, and then there is a tunnel paved with large pieces of blue and white stone, and there is no danger in the visible place, as usual, Fu Bo took the lead and walked down the stairs, followed by Shi Ruolan, and then Li Mu.

When Li Mu, who was walking at the end, also entered the dark passage, he only heard the rumbling friction sound, the mechanism restarted, the entrance of the dark passage gradually closed, and the two golden lions returned to their original positions.

Soon the group of five people went down to the bottom of the stairs, and just when Ruolan wanted to shoot a few more fire arrows to illuminate, the wall lamps on both sides of the dark passage suddenly lit up, and the entire dark passage was illuminated in an instant.

One after another, the lights from near to far frightened Li Muye, this is not a voice-activated lamp in the 21st century, how can it be so neatly lit.

"It's a thousand-year-old phosphorus firebug, and it is rumored that this insect has a very long lifespan, but spends most of its time in a lethargic state, and once it is awakened from sleep, it emits a phosphorous light. ”

Ruolan leaned in front of a wall lamp that lit up automatically, looked through the jade lampshade, and found that there were hundreds of thousand-year-old phosphorus fireflies emitting bursts of light in each lamp.

"It is worthy of being an insect master's cave, and it actually uses this way to ensure that after a hundred years, if someone sets foot here, there will still be lighting, which is amazing. ”

Li Mu always felt that the various arrangements of this insect master in this cave were very contradictory, those beautiful murals, and the thoughtful wall lamps all showed that the owner of the cave house did not look like a traitor, but those blood-colored insect swarms that killed people without blinking made people frightened by the cruelty of this insect master.

"It's really powerful, this thousand-year-old phosphorus firefly is very rare, there are hundreds of them in this lamp, if this entire dark passage and cave are all lighting methods, then it's really a big deal, let's go, let's move on." ”

With the lights, the group was not as nervous as before in this dark passage, and walked along the long passage all the way towards the depths of this Lingyun Palace.
