Chapter Twenty-Four: The Crystal Pillar
It's better to miss each other? Now I want to see you like an arrow.
Among them, especially Yipinlan, couldn't believe that the isolated island they were on was actually a prison for the Party of Spades.
Yi Pinlan looked at Guanglong vigilantly, reconsidered his attitude towards him and said, "It's too coincidental, did you do something to navigation?" You want us to throw ourselves into the net. ”
Chao Luan also pondered: "No wonder the big bat retreats, it turns out that it is waiting for you to lure us over." ”
Guanglong shouted wrongly: "I have never heard of that black ball before. Besides, can I settle for such a high-tech thing? "They have fixed his nature, and even if Guanglong says that he has nothing to do with the Party of Spades, no one believes him.
Yi Pinlan didn't believe it, so she wanted to search her body in public. Xiaoling also coaxed, and played on Guanglong's body, smiling casually ~ touching. It's better for you to blatantly take advantage. Guanglong didn't dare to say more, and let them search.
The Ace of Spades, a pistol, and an Allosaurus knife were found from Guanglong, all of which they had seen. Needless to say, the hole cards prove the identity of the holy envoy, but the alien dragon knife aroused Yi Pinlan's interest, and she took it in her hand and checked it repeatedly.
Yi Pinlan said affirmatively: "This knife belongs to the new world where I am located, how do you explain it?" ”
Indeed, the Allosaurus Knife was obtained by chance in a cave. At the beginning, Guanglong and Fei Nan were trapped in the secret room and escaped with the help of a sarcophagus suspended in the air, and in the sarcophagus there was a treasure knife that sharpened iron like clay.
Guanglong replied truthfully: "Believe it or not, this knife was picked up in the secret room next to it. ”
Yi Pinlan said sharply: "How do you make me believe, let us go and see?" There must be someone from your Spades inside! It is estimated that she thinks that Guanglong has ambushed heavy troops, and she is still looking around uneasily.
said that he was going to tie up Guanglong again, saying that it was more secure to have a hostage in hand. Guanglong was miserable.
Jin Lao stepped out to stop him: "Wait! I don't think he is a bad guy, he has no intention of harming others along the way, nor has he run away, but he helps us everywhere. Is there some misunderstanding here? ”
Yi Pinlan sneered: "This is exactly what he is sinister, deceiving us into trust, and finally ending us up." The consistent means of the party of spades. ”
Hey, Guanglong couldn't argue. It is difficult to change the things that one person believes, but he is quite grateful for Jin Lao's fairness and calmness.
Mrs. Jin also agreed that it was better to be careful, so she had to compromise and said: "I think I can tie his hands, so you can rest assured?" Then she personally tied the rope for Guanglong, but it was tied quite loosely and did not strangle her hands at all. Guanglong was inexplicably moved in his heart, and glared angrily at Yipinlan.
Finding nothing useful in the hall, Yi Pinlan promoted the dragon and said: "Take us to the secret room, don't play tricks." "At the same time be very close to him to prevent a sudden attack by someone with a party of spades.
So, the group came to Guanglong's long-lost secret room. There was no one in the secret room, and the walls were full of poems inscribed by the sick man; The sarcophagus in one corner is tilted upside down, revealing a large hole leading straight to the Grand Mirror Palace. What about meow them? Is it really not there. Guanglong is worried about the walking corpse bugs and zombies, and they don't know how terrifying they are.
For the first time, they saw many of the poems written on the walls. Chao Luan curiously touched the text of the dragon flying and phoenix dance and said, "This cell is locked up by a literati." How is it engraved? "This question Guanglong had wondered before.
The old couple were pacing back and forth, laughing and not speaking, could they be seen as famous?
Xiao Ling looked at a poem and read: "The old wall of the secret room is shining, the flowers are splendid and the fragrance is dark, the sarcophagus zombies are starving, the past is the same, and the party of spades casts articles." Guanglong smiled secretly, that was exactly what Guanglong and the sick man did on a whim and willfully.
Yi Pinlan also saw it, pouted and said: "Hmph, the remnants of the Party of Spades are the level of limericks." Guanglong glanced at her, the willful work is appropriate for the time, do you know how to appreciate it, and there are foreign friends in the poems, this level is high enough.
Xiao Ling smiled: "No, this spade party casting article is quite good." ”
Guanglong was secretly happy in his heart, after all, he came up with it after holding it for a long time, and he liked big stars more and more.
Except for the old couple Jin Lao, whose level of poetry and singing is higher, the others don't know how to pretend to understand, and they have a random discussion.
Yi Pinlan had no interest in poetry, and instead lifted the lid of the sarcophagus. Guanglong found that the green walking corpse insect juice ~ liquid inside had long dried up and turned into a puddle of dirt. The others were empty, and they had long been swept away. It was the peculiar symbols on the lid of the coffin that caught her attention.
Guanglong couldn't understand the strange symbols at the beginning, could she? Maybe they're people from two worlds.
I saw her staring intently, and Tie Qing's face was difficult to stretch.
Guanglong deliberately reminded: "My knife was taken from the coffin, anyway, you don't believe it." ”
Yi Pinlan took the Alien Dragon Knife and said, "This knife is a bit famous, so I will confiscate it for the time being." As for the poems on the walls and the words on the sarcophagus, I'm sure this is a stronghold of the Spades, and it's hard to say if it was a prison before. ”
The symbol was words, and Guanglong was surprised that she could really understand the words on the sarcophagus? Anyway, they don't know each other, you made it up. Besides, the words on the coffin also have some traces of history, how can it be related to the Party of Spades.
Yi Pinlan saw Guanglong's suspicions: "I know ancient characters, and they are unique to our country. Guanglong still didn't believe it.
She continued, "Holy Messenger, don't forget the long history of the Party of Spades. This sarcophagus is not contemporary, and if my guess is correct, this isolated island was originally the lair of the Spades. ”
Guanglong was shocked again, the party of spades did exist for a long time. In other words, Prison Island has been owned by the Party of Spades since ancient times. Could it be that Yipinlan saw some fame and concealed something?
Xiaoling was a little impatient: "I don't understand what you say, get out of this hellish place." My poem recite my head about to explode. ”
Guanglong's doubts were immediately dispelled, and after being interrupted by Xiao Ling, he realized that there was a faint light in the hole next to the sarcophagus. The light came from the Great Mirror Palace.
The six of them rushed in, and in front of them was the magnificent Grand Mirror Palace. Under the feet is infinitely extending forward like an ice mirror, as far as the eye can see, a mirror wall rises from the ground, and the icicles in the distance stand up to the sky, soaring into the sky.
Looking directly at such an empty miracle, everyone was inexplicably excited, is this a miracle of antiquity, or a masterpiece of God? Guanglong knew that this formation came from the hands of a sick man, a foreign old man who was well versed in Chinese culture, not only proficient in the I Ching gossip, but also perfectly combined physics and optics in the mirror array. The integration of Chinese thought and science is very valuable to foreign elders.
Even Jin Lao couldn't help but tremble and admire: "This scale is from the hands of humans?" It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a new wonder of the world. "If the sick man knew that Jin Lao complimented him like this, he would definitely die of joy.
Yi Pinlan and Chao Luan couldn't wait to walk to the big mirror, and they were sincerely amazed when they looked left and right.
Xiao Ling couldn't stop screaming excitedly, and the piercing sound spread throughout the entire Great Mirror Palace, echoing endlessly. After shouting from the bottom of her heart, she shivered coldly, and hurriedly took Chaoluan's clothes and put them on.
The Great Mirror Palace, which has appeared in Guanglong's dreams many times, has an unforgettable influence in his mind. Today's revisit is a bit of a reunion of old people. I don't know if the many mirrors broken by Guanglong have been repaired by the sick man?
Guanglong followed, and they had already entered the mirror array one after another. Guanglong is not worried that they will be lost, and if he can't do it, he will save himself.
Walk in the familiar mirror array, with ease. I didn't know that I was still bumping around like a fly and losing myself in the mirror. The light of the mirror array is strange and wonderful, and without the operation of the sick man, they will never be able to see it again.
Xiao Ling didn't know the direction inside, as if walking in a maze, and complained from time to time: "This mirror maze is too powerful, I'm dizzy." ”
Guanglong's worries are unnecessary. Walking hundreds of steps around the same circle, I found that the ground was vacant with large ~ pieces, mirror fragments scattered on the ground at will, and the narrow open space could lead directly to the center icicle. Guanglong couldn't cry or laugh, it was the channel that was willfully carved out at that time. It seems that it is not easy to restore the mirror array, and the sick man is also weak.
They found a shortcut and invariably stepped on the mirror shards to get to the icicles in the center to find out. There, will the sick man jump out coldly to defend the mirror array?
The icicle is like a crystal towering tree, with thick ~ strong roots, and gradually tapering into a cylinder leading to the cave at the top of the mountain. It seems that if you want to reach the top of the mountain, you have to climb the icicle and climb up, but what is the point of climbing up, and besides, the icicle is so smooth and there is no place to climb, and climbing up is a fool's dream.
Guanglong was a little disappointed, there was no sick man and meow meow here, and there was no Jia Simin who was thinking about it for a long time. Did all the people of the Spades evacuate Prison Island?
He stared thoughtfully at the bone-chilling icicles, a little different from before.
Jin Lao touched ~ touched the icicle, knocked again, nodded and said to them: "It's not an icicle, it should be a crystal." The reason for the abnormal cold may be due to the high altitude of the mountain. However, such a tall and perfect crystal is rare. ”
At first, Guanglong thought it was an icicle that would not melt for thousands of years, but it turned out to be a crystal pillar.
As soon as she heard that it was a crystal, Xiaoling's eyes lit up, and she couldn't put it down, and she couldn't wait to pull it off and take it away.
Chaoluan, who had been studying at the root of the crystal pillar for a long time, found something, and said to them in surprise: "I found it, there is indeed a mechanism." ”
Organ! Could it be the switch that activates the mirror array? Guanglong once saw the sick man move his hands and feet at the root of the crystal pillar.
When they came up, they saw a small hole at the root that was not easy to detect, and it was tilted at a very remote angle, and it was impossible to find it if they had not leaned down.
Chao Luan tried to reach into his little finger, saying that he was touching ~ something hard. Guanglong leaned down on the ground and observed the small hole, which had a slender groove in it, but it was difficult to reach.
Guanglong understands that if you want to use the groove to rotate the mechanism, you need to change the cone and other tools, but where to find it now?
Yi Pinlan handed over the dragon knife and said, "It's better to try it, if it doesn't work, chisel it." ”
Chao Luan tried to dig the knife a little deeper, but still couldn't reach the groove, so he used the blade to widen the small hole. Rao is dragon knife sharpens iron like clay, but he can't help the thousand-year-old crystal, chiseled several times, and only shallow scratches were left on the crystal pillar. They were all dumbfounded.
Guanglong is also worried that the sword has no eyes and destroys the mechanism, and now the Alien Dragon Sword does not work, can there be a better way?
Yi Pinlan took out her bow and arrow again, and the slender arrow might have a miraculous effect.
Sure enough, the bow arrow rubbed against the side wall of the small hole, and reluctantly entered. Chaoluan was busy again, and the arrow clicked on the groove.
Chao Luan was overjoyed, and he only needed to turn it to open the mechanism. He rubbed his hands and began to spin his bow and arrow in one direction with a loud shout.
The bow and arrow are bare and difficult to use, but fortunately this arrow is an iron rod. After trying to no avail, Chao Luan bent the iron arrow to 90 degrees.
Except for Guanglong, who was bound and couldn't use it, everyone else used their bows and arrows to turn the mechanism together. I don't know that after thousands of years of precipitation, the organ may be old and can no longer be used.
As the mechanism turned, Guanglong was surprised to see that the root of the crystal pillar also rotated, but in the opposite direction. They didn't stop and wait until they didn't turn anymore.
The crystal pillar has not changed, huh? What kind of mechanism is this?
Mrs. Jin circled around the crystal pillar and shouted excitedly, "The door is open, opposite you." ”
The root of the crystal pillar is thick ~ strong, hiding an unknown secret. Guanglong didn't expect that on the opposite side of the mechanism was the open door, and where the door would lead.
The crystal door is not big, and it is enough for a person to pass through with a half-squat. Guanglong looked inside the door, and it turned out that the crystal pillar was hollow and went straight to the dome, and a translucent ladder could not distinguish the material, so it could be climbed. Strangely, there is no hollow structure or ladder to be seen from the outside.
The end of the ladder is the top of the mountain, so what's the mystery there?
