Chapter 357: Lack of Success
In a secret room, Zhang Shouyi was pressing and pressing, touching and touching a raised round stone on the wall, and his mouth was still muttering: "Why is there no movement?" The three elders clearly said"
Wu Yi held the fire fold on the side, frowned and listened, and tried to urge impatiently several times, but endured it again.
"Am I misremembering again?" Zhang Shouyi muttered and began to feel around the stone wall next to him.
"What the hell are you looking for?" Wu Yi couldn't help but say.
Before, Zhang Shouyi was able to find this secret room on the cave wall for a while, which really made Wu Yi a little impressed, but at this moment, seeing Zhang Shouyi touching the wall like a headless fly, Wu Yi only felt that the green tendons on his forehead jumped.
At this moment, Master Shao, who sometimes has a lot of ghost ideas and sometimes is quite stupid, is staying with two unreliable people, and Wu Yi has been a little uneasy in his heart as he walks all the way.
Looking at the equally unreliable Imperial Doctor Zhang for a while, he didn't find anything, so he was a little breathless: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, why don't we go back first?" I think Master Shao is probably in a hurry. ”
Zhang Shouyi touched for a long time and didn't find any other mechanism, so he returned to the previous wall, looked at the raised cobblestone for a while, and suddenly raised his foot and kicked it fiercely, Wu Yi frowned again and again, but saw that the stone really moved, not only moved, but also fell.
With a bang, the egg-shaped stone fell on the bluestone floor, and the sound of what looked like a stone turned out to be metal.
Looking at the groove where a piece is missing now, there is obviously a metal linkage shaft inlaid in the stone wall, but it has been broken all together at this time, and unless the entire stone wall is smashed, it will be useless.
Zhang Shouyi was a little dumbfounded, holding the metal handle that fell down and disguised as a stone, trying to give it back to An.
Wu Yi simply extinguished the fire, and his arm was sore anyway, which was enough at this time: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, since you haven't made any reputation, it's better for us to go back first." Talk to an adult? Na Xia is well-read, maybe he knows something. ”
Zhang Shouyi touched his chin and shrugged helplessly, the door of this stone room was a simple stone wall that could be pushed open. It is located in a place more than one person high, and there is a shallow stone staircase chiseled into the cave wall, so as long as you know how to do kung fu, you can easily come up.
But by the time they arrived, the staircase carved into the cave wall was completely submerged. If Zhang Shouyi hadn't known that there was a stone chamber nearby, no one would have been able to find out.
At this moment, the two opened the stone wall of the organ room, only to find that the water outside had receded, and there were only shallow traces of water on the ground.
Not only that, but as the water receded, the fire in the fire trough on the wall was rekindled, and the entire tunnel was unobstructed.
Zhang Shouyi laughed hajkily: "Look, I knew it could work." ”
Wu Yi glanced at him disdainfully. I don't know which one it was all over the wall just now.
The two of them descended from the height, and the chamber above slowly closed automatically.
Zhang Shouyi sighed with his hands in his hands: "There are really capable people in this witch clan!" ”
Wu Yi didn't have the heart to listen to Zhang Shouyi's sigh, so he strode back after getting off the ground.
Zhang Shouyi followed quickly behind, chattering: "The capable people of the Wu clan have long expected that the tunnel in the belly of this mountain will inevitably have the problem of water seepage, so this kind of drainage device was set up in the low terrain in advance, and it is said that if this water accumulates to a certain extent." Then the mechanism will automatically turn on and drain the water."
Wu Yi didn't have the heart to listen to Zhang Shouyi's nonsense, but at this moment, he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for these Wu craftsmen hundreds of years ago.
"Say so. If we had come a little later, maybe there would have been no water in this tunnel? ”
Zhang Shouyi nodded: "It's hard to say, the seepage in the belly of this mountain is not a day or two that can be filled, maybe it will take a hundred years for it to be full." ”
The tunnel has a curved curve here. Wu Yi was thinking about that Lord Shao in his heart, so he took a few steps and turned the corner, but saw Xia Shaoyuan standing in the middle of the tunnel in a daze, while Lord Shao and the Imperial Doctor Du were nowhere to be seen.
"Xia Waiter? What about adults? Wu Yi was startled and stepped forward.
The clothes on Xia Shaoyuan's body were still dripping with water, and the short sword in his hand was so white that his finger bones were white.
He didn't react to Wu Yi's series of questions, but after seeing Zhang Shouyi's figure, he suddenly came to life, strode forward, hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhang Shouyi's collar, and shouted in a low voice: "What did you do?" ”
Thinking that Xia Shaoyuan is the most elegant and handsome son in Tiandu City, maybe this is the first time he has spoken so loudly.
Zhang Shouyi was shocked by Xia Shaoyuan's expression, and replied obediently: "I turned on the mechanism and released the water." But then he reacted, he didn't do anything wrong, what kind of madness did this Xia Shaoyuan!
Zhang Shouyi came back to his senses and broke away from Xia Shaoyuan's hand dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xia, what are you doing here?" What about non-scarlet? And what about Du Ziqi? ”
Wu Yi couldn't wait for Xia Shaoyuan's answer at this time, he trotted back for a distance, only saw a few horses, but still didn't see Chu Feifei, Fang felt bad, galloped back, and said loudly: "Xia Shiyu, what's the matter?" The adults and Imperial Doctor Du are gone! What happened when the water receded? ”
Xia Shaoyuan lowered his hand in despair and muttered: "Release the water, release the water"
As if he suddenly thought of something, Xia Shaoyuan suddenly pushed away Zhang Shouyi, who was in the way, and walked back and forth on this section of the road, tapping on the ground with the short sword in his hand as he walked.
Wu Yi was anxious and puzzled, and instinctively reached out to hold his saber, but found that only the scabbard was left, and his saber had already been given to the adult for self-defense.
Zhang Shouyi stared at Xia Shaoyuan's movements for a moment, and suddenly his face turned pale: "Xia Shaoyuan, what do you mean?" ”
Xia Shaoyuan raised his head coldly: "Haven't you already understood?" ”
Zhang Shouyi's body shook slightly, leaning against the cave wall, perhaps it was the sudden agitation that triggered the earlier injury, and he bent down and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wu Yi sighed when he saw it: "Alas, Imperial Doctor Zhang, don't make a mess, you are the imperial doctor, what good medicine is there, hurry up and take it yourself." ”
Zhang Shouyi closed his eyes and rested for a while, as if he had only eased up, and his face was not as ugly as just now.
Xia Shaoyuan used a short sword to knock around on the ground, Wu Yi didn't know why, but he also unsheathed his sword and knocked it on the ground.
Zhang Shouyi pursed his lips and followed the two of them, listening attentively with a clear expression.
Xia Shaoyuan stopped suddenly, raised his head and stared at Zhang Shouyi and said, "Is she okay?" ”
Zhang Shouyi frowned slightly, Xia Shaoyuan had asked this before, could it be that he was connected to Ling'er's heart, and Ling'er's recognition of the Lord, he actually knew about it? It's just such a secret thing, I'm afraid that even Lu Kun, who lives in a scarlet house, doesn't know very clearly, how does this Xia Shaoyuan know? (To be continued.) )
