Chapter 5 Underground Secret Chamber
In Xiao Yixuan's not too real memory, he really had never seen Gu'er Besu so weak, in his memory, this person who was sobbing in front of him would always only put on an indifferent face, step out of the door of the wing, and say two cold words, at most, he sat side by side with him for a while, and after a while, he began to drive away mercilessly, and he didn't even show any feelings.

So when he saw Gu'er Besu crying like this, Xiao Yixuan's heart inevitably floated with a burst of distress, as if a piece of ice in his heart had melted, making him unable to distinguish between memory and reality, although at this moment the cave was becoming more and more stuffy because of the fire above, almost making him unbearable, but his current feeling was only a deep love for the person in front of him, and he couldn't care about anything else.
Just as he stretched out a hand and was about to land on Gu'er Besu's intermittent shoulder, he heard a message from a foreign land, and then before Xiao Yixuan could react, he saw Gu'er Besu's slender body nesting on the dirt wall disappear in an instant!
"Ah----h
The screams of Gu'er Besu were faintly audible, but they soon died down.
"I 。。。 Grass"
Xiao Yixuan subconsciously exclaimed, and then looked closely, but saw that the place where Gu Er's body was originally located had now become a black hole, and there was a chill in this hole, which could be described as a ray of light in the sultry cave, but it made Xiao Yixuan feel a chill in his heart, as if it was not just a dirt cave, but a man-eating devil's mouth.
This sudden change also wiped out the touch in Xiao Yixuan's heart, and only then did he suddenly reflect that the emotions that poured out of his heart just now belonged to the former owner of this body, and he had nothing to do with his current self. There was a hula' sound, and when he turned his head, it was the thin secret door panel that finally couldn't help the fire and completely collapsed, followed by a large mass of broken wood fire, which almost instantly covered the entire tunnel and came to his feet!
"Damn!"
There was no other way, Xiao Yixuan had no choice but to prop up his already traumatized body and plunge headlong into the dark hole!
"Hoo ----"
"Plop ---"
A strong wind sound swept past Xiao Yixuan's ears, followed by the sound of entering the water and the biting coldness!
Xiao Yixuan had just recovered from his injuries, and he had just been injured by a pillar of fire, and he fell into the water at this moment, and there was no possibility of struggling, he could only close his mouth and nose as much as possible to prevent choking, but his increasingly heavy body was clearly telling him that it would not be long before he would completely die in this ghost place where he didn't know where it was.
At this moment, Xiao Yixuan felt the clothes behind him tighten, and then a small hand grabbed between his neck, and then within a few seconds, his head reappeared on the water.
"Ahem, ahem!"
In the end, Xiao Yixuan, who still poured a few mouthfuls of ice water, coughed as soon as he surfaced, and it took a while before he could ease down, and the first thing he saw when he came back to his senses was a pretty face with a little panic, but it was Gu'er Besu, who had fallen before, who was looking at him with concern, his hands were still clutching his clothes, and then looking around, he saw that the water under him was only two meters deep, and he and Gu'er Besu could barely stand on their tiptoes.
Xiao Yixuan, who noticed this, blushed, but fortunately it was very dark here, so he didn't tell Gu'er to notice anything wrong.
After some general observation, Xiao Yixuan found that this place was like an underground lake, surrounded by pitch black, and only the scales on the water surface could be seen, but the space seemed to be very wide, and there was a round hole ten meters above his head, and there was a burst of fire in the round hole, which should be the location where he fell.
"Hurry up, the top may collapse!"
After seeing it clearly, Xiao Yixuan hurriedly broke away from the small hand that Gu Er Besu was still holding, and took the lead in pulling the other party to leave the place half-swim and half-walk, and sure enough, just a few seconds after they moved away, the hole above collapsed, and a large number of fire and soil entered the water, bringing a strange sound.
"This, it's the end of here, there seems to be something...
After a while, I heard Gu'er don't say quickly, Xiao Yixuan reached out and touched forward when he heard this, and sure enough, he touched a hard object, and under the groping, it was something similar to a platform, less than half a meter above the water surface.
"It's the ground, you go up first, and then pull me up."
Xiao Yixuan opened her mouth and said, Gu'er didn't do what she said, and after she tried her best to pull the former up, the two of them were already too tired to get up.
At this point, the sound was gone, and in the wide and empty space, only the gasps of two people of different thicknesses remained.
“。。。 Thank you very much, I owe you one more time. ”
After a long time, Xiao Yixuan swallowed his saliva and said, Gu'er hesitated twice when he heard the words, and finally returned: "Don't forget what you promised me." ”
"I can't forget it!"
Xiao Yixuan laughed and returned, and then, he stood up under the initiative of Gu'er Beha, and the two of them just helped each other to grope in the dark, walking in fright, for fear of falling back into the water if they were not careful, with the current physical strength of the two, if they went into the water again, they might not be able to climb up.
Finally, Xiao Yixuan's hand in front of him touched something, under the investigation, it was like a cold sculpture, he groped on it carefully, grabbed something similar to a pull ring, and pulled it hard without thinking, and heard the sound of chains and mechanisms turning, and in this dark space, countless clusters of light were immediately sprinkled!
"Ahh
The sudden change startled Gu'er, and they quickly saw where the light source came from, and at the same time, they finally saw the appearance of the place, and they were all stunned almost at the same time.
Above their heads, there was a huge dome, like an inverted bowl, scattered on which there were hundreds of huge night pearls, and those beads were made of unknown materials, and the light emitted was not inferior to that of light bulbs, which could illuminate the whole space transparently!
Xiao Yixuan saw that on the dome, there were dense sculptures carved, carved snakes, insects, rats, elephants, bears, sloppy leopards, as long as it was an imaginable animal, almost all of them were there, but in the middle of the dome, there was a five-clawed golden dragon in the shape of a god, the golden dragon held a tiger in its mouth, posing as a posture of feeding on everything, and those animals that were food seemed to have no consciousness as food, and still worshiped and gathered towards the golden dragon in fear, still unwilling to retreat, and willingly.
Below the dome, is Xiao Yixuan and Gu'er Besu where the high platform is, this high platform is square, enough to be thousands of kilometers square, very wide, and Xiao Yixuan and the two are located, just in the middle of this platform, beside them, there is a circular altar, this altar is different from the intricate and gorgeous carvings above, it looks very simple, just a simple square altar, like a big bed, nine steps below the altar, there is a sculpture candlestick at each corner of the steps, and the iron ring that Xiao Yixuan just pulled is located on one of the candlesticks, It seems that the mechanism that opened the night pearl was driven by this iron ring, and it happened to be found by Xiao Yixuan.
And there is nothing else in this space except these, Xiao Yixuan looked around, and could only see the hard rock wall and the lake in the distance, there was no exit, even the hole he fell down just now had been blocked, and he didn't know how the people who built this place got in and how they got out.
There is no more place to go, Xiao Yixuan and Gu'er don't hurry up the steps, come to the altar, reach out and wipe off the thick dust on the tabletop, only to find that it is also engraved with things, as a whole, it seems to be a huge gossip array, surrounded by dense words outside the circle, the engraving is old, and it has already appeared a little corrupted, but Xiao Yixuan still clearly distinguishes a part, Qianqing Palace, Yangxin Palace, Zichen Palace, Chonghua Palace... That's the name of the palaces in the Forbidden City!
"There... Something seems to be there! ”
At this moment, Gu Er Besu suddenly said a word, Xiao Yixuan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that in the middle of this array, there was a small bulge, he reached out and touched it, but he easily pulled out the thing, and when he took it in his hand, it was a nine-sided jade pendant, this jade pendant was palm long, two fingers wide, and the nine long faces were engraved with a lifelike, small dragon with different expressions and colors, and the two sections were carved with the scorching sun and the moon, cold and heavy in the hand, and I don't know what jade material was made of.
Almost at first sight, Xiao Yixuan fell in love with this jade pendant, and he naturally understood in his heart that although the origin of this thing was unknown, it must not be ordinary!
After observing the jade pendant for a while, Xiao Yixuan shifted his attention back to the array diagram on the altar, and at this glance, he found that the circular array ring on it could really be moved, and below the array ring, a small triangular indicator was like a large multi-plate.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Xiao Yixuan turned the triangle to the position marked 'East Palace', and then inserted the jade pendant in his hand into the groove in the middle, and with a turn of his wrist, he heard a 'click' sound, and the next moment, he saw a sudden huge movement in the open space in front of the altar, and then a tunnel appeared out of thin air, which was actually a very neat bluestone step!
Seeing this formation, Xiao Yixuan immediately reflected, this formation, this 'key', may really control the secret passages leading to various important places in the palace!
