Chapter 120: The Old Man Meets Again

The huge stone chamber was searched almost inch by inch, but still no trace of the mechanism that broke the next layer was found.

Stuck here, my feelings are getting agitated.

It wasn't until I threw away the arrows from the remnants of the wall by the south wall that my patience came to an end.

An unintentional movement, but unexpectedly, accidentally stepped on the sand on the rammed earth layer under his feet.

Yun Chu, who had a keen ear, heard that the sound was wrong, and in an instant, he noticed the broken door.

He and Chen Yuqing rushed over quickly.

Pushing aside the thick layer of sand, I saw that there was a bluestone slab the size of a wellhead underneath.

"This is it!" Chen Yuqing said happily, flew over with a little envious look, but said with some unwillingness, "Why do you hit it crookedly every time, do you mean that fools have foolish blessings?" “

"You are a fool, your whole family is a fool, the foolish blessing is left for you to enjoy, enjoy it slowly."

"No wonder it's so hard to find, I can't find it anywhere, it turns out that the mechanism is hidden under the yellow sand."

"When Xuanyuan Jingya's men arrived at this stone chamber, they touched the mechanism," Yun Chu raised his head, his eyes darkened a little, "According to her usual personality, it must be a few people who will die, as long as the task is completed." “

"So someone must have gone down, and those who stayed here to guard the back road were killed by the quicksand and swords that were presupposed to be around." Yun Chu put his hands behind his back, calmly observed the traces on the ground, and said in an indifferent tone.

"It's the sand that has fallen from these traps that buries the entrance." Chen Yuqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said with some self-deprecation, "I have been looking for so long, but I didn't expect to start with the sand layer." “

"I have a doubt, if they reach the treasure place, even if they can get the treasure by the way. The back road has been blocked, how to get out? I glanced at them and raised my doubts.

came all the way to hunt for treasure, but it was hard to get in, and the back road was blocked, stupid!

"Don't worry about this, but wherever there is a real burial place, there must be a secret way." Yun Chu raised his hand and wiped the dust from my sideburns.

"Don't forget how many forks we've taken along the way, even if it's the right one. There is not only one cliff on the cliff, otherwise you will not miss the opportunity to meet these people on a narrow road. “

"Makes sense," I said, looking down at the bluestone slab on the ground. You can clearly see that the grooves on the edge of the slate are tightly inlaid with seams, "It's really dense, I don't know how heavy this slate is, and I'm afraid that this mechanism is used for no less than a thousand catties." “

"That's right."

"It's so heavy. How do you open it? "I have a headache.

"Try restoring the remaining mechanisms on the wall." Yun Chu hesitated for a moment and made a decision.

"It's not going to work," I said, glancing at the mechanism, "and you see how it's broken." “

I sighed with emotion, and inexplicably admired the pile of people underground: "These people are really responsible, although the result is tragic and they are all hung up one by one." But if they insisted on fighting until the last moment before their deaths, it was hard for them to break the mechanism of the stone chamber like that. “

"His ambition is commendable."

Hey, no one hears my praise anyway.

"If you can't complete the task, you will die. Dying in the stone chamber is death, and dying in the hands of Xuanyuan Jingya is also death. Chen Yuqing snorted and said, "Maybe they don't want to fight hard, but they can't help themselves." “

"It's a dead word both horizontally and vertically."

"Xuanyuan Jingya, that deep well ice." I muttered.

Chen Yuqing's eyes lit up and said: "What does Shenjing Ice mean, I haven't heard anyone describe her like this." “

"Fukaibing is very capable and amazing. For example, you, do you want to be a deep well ice? I looked at him with a wicked laugh.

Chen Yuqing shook his head and said, "Although I don't understand." But vaguely felt as if it was not a good word. “

Topic flashbacks.

"Breaking through the mechanism, I guess I still think that there is a possibility of the next step, and it is not necessary to find a way out."

"Yun Chu, what are you doing?" I looked back at Yun Chu and was checking the organs one by one.

"With such a large stone chamber, it is impossible for all the organs to control this flap, so as long as we find one of the definite control slabs and restore it, we can activate this slate." Yun Chu didn't look back and answered my question seriously.

"Let's continue to look for the division of labor."

Soon, we found a mechanism on the south wall, Yun Chu reached in to test it, and I nervously grabbed his arm.

"Swords and arrows are poisonous, how can you reach for them as if you were holding a book." I wiped the sweat from my head, my heart beating fast.

Yun Chu smiled and broke free of my hand, and Chen Yuqing added beside him: "He is not afraid of poison, don't worry." “

Sure enough, he still had to reach into the mechanism to check, Yun Chu frowned and said, "This restoration is not difficult, but I am missing a tool." “

"What kind of tools do you want, and where can you find them now?"

Yun Chu's gaze wandered over the stone chamber, but still circled back to my side, and he reached out from the mechanism and looked at my head.

"Xiao Ling'er, borrow your hairpin." Yun Chu whispered.

"Okay," I quickly removed a copper hairpin from my head and handed it to him.

Yun Chu stroked the sharp blade at one end of the hairpin with his fingers, and raised his hand to insert the hairpin into the mechanism on the wall.

Without hesitation, his hand also sank in, and I saw that he was watching intently, and I heard a slight clicking sound from inside the mechanism, as if Yun Chu was fiddling with the inner core.

After a while, he heard a clear sound, and Yun Chu's expression was relieved: "It's done." “

He took out the hairpin first, and I was about to take it and insert it in my hair, "Wait a minute," Yun Chu took out a handkerchief and wiped the liquid on it, "There are still some remnants in it, wipe it clean and put it back on." “

As the restored mechanism slowly opened, the large stone slab on the sand, which looked like a manhole cover, slowly arched upwards with a muffled sound.

I don't know if it's because the mechanism has some old relationship, and the speed of opening is very slow, and it took a while to open a square hole that can accommodate one person to pass guò.

"Go down!" The three of us looked at each other and leaped into the tunnel.

The bluestone staircase descends and winds along the mountain wall, where a wooden door separates it. Just as he was about to push open the door, Chen Yuqing, who took the lead, suddenly paused.

Outside the door, there was a shout: "Blue sky!" Are you going to stop me today? “

It turned out to be the voice of the ninth princess!!

So Lan Tianfang is with her?

I exchanged glances with Yun Chu and Chen Yuqing, and continued to listen to the movement outside the door.

My senior brother's voice still sounded light, and I could only hear Lan Tian say: "Ninth Princess, I can understand that you are planning to come in, but until now, you still haven't told me the truth." “

"Brother Tianfang," the ninth princess's tone suddenly softened. "I never wanted to be your enemy."

The more she spoke, the slower she became, and said with a hint of grief in her tone: "Xiao Ling...... It's been so many years since you've been dead, haven't you forgotten her? “

"Is it in your heart. I'm not even a dead man. The uncontrollable sadness in the ninth princess's tone.

Even I, the person who listened to the corner, was touched by a sigh in my heart.

Although I can't see the situation inside, listening to the tone of the ninth princess, she must have tears in her eyes at this moment.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Chen Yuqing turned his head and looked at me narrowly, and said a word.

I looked at the shape of his lips and understood what he was asking, "Have you been dead for years?" “

Gritted his teeth and glared at him. I only realized it later, yes, who is Xiaoling they are talking about?

Yun Chu behind him suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and wrote with his fingers in my palm: I'm not talking about you.

I know! I nodded at him and continued to listen to the conversation.

My senior brother hesitated for a moment before answering, "You think too much. That...... It's a thing of the past. “

I listened to Lan Tianfang's tone, and it seemed to be very difficult.

My brain made up the current scene, and it suddenly occurred to me in my mind. So now it's a love debt.

Blue Sky has a favorite object who has been dead for many years? Then, her name is also Xiaoling?

I was stunned for a while, and the picture in my mind suddenly flashed back to the Dingbei Wangfu of the Flame Country, and I first encountered the situation of the blue sky.

At that time, I was abducted by Xuanyuan Jingya and taken to the mansion. Because I was wearing men's clothes, I was robbed by her mistake.

That night, it was my senior brother who brought me food.

I suddenly remembered the first time he called me Xiaoling. The spring-like eyes, the gentle tone.

Whether it was at that time, I didn't know him, or later, when I encountered a series of accidents and my master accepted me as a closed disciple.

The way my brother looked at me, the look in my eyes, I suddenly felt a thrill, and I always felt that he looked at me with an indescribable feeling.

That's when it dawned on me.

It turned out that he was not looking at me, but someone else.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I felt a little happy in my heart.

Yun Chu behind him noticed my subtle changes, and he continued to write in the palm of my hand: Are you very happy?

I nodded, grabbed Yun Chu's hand and replied: It's much easier.

Chen Yuqing, who was closest to the door, turned around and made a shushing motion.

Obviously, we have been arguing, and we haven't made any sound, what kind of nervousness is he.

I thought about it, maybe he was worried that the martial arts of the two people in that door were not low, and the slightest movement would also cause them to be alert.

Yun Chu let go of my hand, and the two of them then held their breath and listened intently to the corner.

The ninth princess choked up as if she cried a few times, she eased her emotions and said: "No matter how much you liked Yueling before, now that she is no longer in the world, you will inherit the throne sooner or later, is it possible that the harem has always been empty?" ”

"Ahh I screamed a little, so to speak, brother, the throne?

I seem to have been hit by a stone, and my thinking is half a beat slower. Brother? Throne?

It's too small.

There are a bunch of princes and princesses in ambush around them, which is really speechless.

I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.

Yun Chu patted me lightly on the shoulder, with a narrow smile in his eyes, that look seemed to say, you are so slow to react, I don't know until now.

Wrong! My heart began to fluctuate again, so to speak, the status of the sky in the country of the sea is not low, at least he is also one of the heirs, so he went all the way to Xuanyuan Jingya's Dingbei Mansion to be a male pet? What is the purpose of this?

Although he was not pampered, he ran away that night.

Lan Tianfang seemed to be asked by the Ninth Princess, and hesitated for a long time before whispering: "I don't care about what the throne is not the throne at all." ”

His voice sounded a little hoarse: "What can you do if you sit in that position?" ”

Lan Tianfang's voice had an injury that could not be hidden: "The moon spirit will not come back to life." ”

He seemed to stabilize his mood, adjusted his feelings, and suddenly increased his speed of speech by a few points: "Ninth Princess, why do you delay time, until now, you still refuse to tell me the truth." ”
