Chapter 13: Lingyu is the key

The three of them were not excited at the moment because the spirit jade fell, but stared nervously at the third horizontal line on the floor, for fear that it would be opened again, and if it was opened this time, it would really be over.

Fortunately, the three of them waited for a long time, and the floor did not respond.

When the three of them relaxed, the third uncle felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, the spirit jade in his hand was warm and pure, like a cool breeze blowing in the dantian and the divine court, just holding it in his hand, he felt that the bottleneck in his body was loosening, and it was indeed a treasure that broke through the innate nature.

By the way, there's another piece.

The third uncle took the spirit jade in his hand in his arms, and saw another piece of spirit jade that fell to the ground, the spirit jade was extremely strong, so the third uncle was not worried that the falling spirit jade would be damaged.

Just as he let go of his hand stuck in the gap and his body fell, a dark shadow rushed out from the depths of the corridor.

The speed of this black shadow was so fast, the father and son of the Zhou family didn't realize it at all, only the third uncle was shocked, it was Wei Dong!

I saw Wei Dong, who came to life, with a strange smile on his face, beckoning at Lingyu, and a black line flew out.

"You dare!"

The third uncle's hand shook in mid-air, and a cold light was also flying Lingyu, he wanted to hit Lingyu, after all, he was close, as long as Lingyu was not led away by Wei Dong, he would grab Lingyu first.

But it was still too late, before the cold light approached, Wei Dong's black line stuck to the spirit jade, and when the third uncle's hidden weapon flew in, it just pierced a spark on the floor, and the spirit jade had been led away by Wei Dong.

"You're not Wei Dong, who are you?!" As soon as the third uncle landed, he let out a loud roar.

It's a pity that after that "Wei Dong" got the spirit jade, he retreated, hidden in the depths of the dark corridor, and disappeared in an instant.

"Little thief, where to run!" the third uncle picked up the torch and rushed into the darkness of the corridor without looking back.

Until the torches disappeared in the distance, the Zhou family father and son were silent.

It happened too fast just now, and it didn't take more than a few breaths before and after, so fast that they couldn't react at all.

"Find a mechanism!" Zhou Laohan suddenly shouted.

Zhou Zhichu immediately rushed to the door, and looked for the mechanism to open the door with dim torches.

There were a total of four torches before, and Xiao Wulian fell into the abyss with torches, and the third uncle also threw one down, and was taken away just now.

Now the only torch left was in the boy's hand, and he searched every crevice of the gate for the mechanism, and finally found a clue in the gate, a small round stone plate embedded in the door, which was difficult to find because it had been burned.

Zhou Zhichu put his hand on the stone plate, pressed it, but there was no response, he tried to turn it again, and the click sound sounded, as if there were fine gears staggered inside, but the door was still locked, and there was no response.

"Can't this door be opened from the inside?" Zhou Laohan was a little disappointed, "Or are there other organs?"

"I don't know, maybe ......"

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe the door can't be opened, and it has something to do with the spirit jade just now. ”

"Lingyu?" Old Man Zhou didn't quite understand.

"That spirit jade should be the key to the mechanism here, without it, the mechanism is the function of going. ”

...... Zhou Laohan didn't know much about the agency, but he felt that most of what the young man said was right.

In order to prove his guess, Zhou Zhichu brought gravel to the door and tried to climb above the gate to check the mechanism that had hidden the spirit jade before, which made Zhou Laohan startled.

"Son, what do you want to do?"

"I want to see if the mechanism there is still useful, if it is useless, then it proves that the spirit jade has been lost, and the mechanism here is useless. ”

"You...... What if it's still useful? There's a monster down there......."

"Daddy, don't worry, if it's useful, I'll turn it off immediately, and I won't let the monster climb up. ”

"This ...... Why are you so bold, kid? ”

It took a lot of effort to erect a staircase leading to the top of the gate at the beginning of the week.

At the beginning of the week, he slowly climbed up, found the gap with his hands and looked for the small protrusion inside.

Got it.

Zhou Zhizhi pressed hard, but the wall tiles inlaid with spirit jade that had been flipped before did not react, and it neither made a sound nor flipped over.

"Daddy, it seems that Lingyu is really the key. ”

Old Man Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time smiled bitterly: "Isn't that impossible to get out?"

At the beginning of Zhou, he climbed down the gravel steps of the building, looking a little lost, and he didn't know what to do with his father for a while, did he really want to go deep into the monuments to find the third uncle or other way out?

"Dad, let's go in, maybe there is another way out. ”

Zhou Laohan nodded, the back road has been cut off and he can only move forward, there is nothing to say.

Zhou Zhizhi picked up his father and slowly walked to the depths of the monument, while the two of them advanced, they were also looking for possible clues and items in the empty rooms on both sides, but they didn't gain anything, and they were empty everywhere.

There were no mechanisms, no tools, no corpses, only broken doors, broken stone bricks, and terrible marks on the walls. The third uncle and the "Wei Dong" who didn't know whether they were humans or ghosts never appeared again, as if only the two of them were left in this underground monument.

In order to continue the torches, Zhou Zhizhi took off his swarthy beggar clothes and tore them into palm-wide strips of cloth. As soon as the light of the torch changed slightly, the boy wrapped a strip of cloth around the torch so that it would not go out.

After taking off his coat, Zhou Laohan found that the young man's figure was as thin as wood, the wide skeleton seemed to be just covered with a layer of skin, and a shirt full of loopholes was also gray and dull and could not see the color.

Along the way, Zhou Zhizhi slowly found that the corridor was circular downward, which made him guess that the structure of the monument was likely to be a tower, the corridor surrounded the outer circle of the tower, a circle downward, and the spire of the tower was the gate they came from before, and the abyss where Xiao Wu fell at the gate was actually the central area of the tower, where there was a disturbing secret.

All the way down, Zhou Zhizhi had touched the wall on the inside, and pressed his ear to it in an attempt to find something, but nothing.

This monument is really evil, at the beginning of the week, I found that there is a very strange place in this corridor alone, in addition to the light, the sound can not reach far, there seem to be murals on both sides of the corridor, but if you look closely, you can not see clearly, the walls will be rough and smooth for a while.

"There are no ledges on the wall for oil lamps and torches......," muttered Zhou Laohan, who may not be as smart as a teenager, but he definitely has more life experience than a teenager.

Reminded by his father, Zhou Zhizhi really found that the walls around him were bare, and there was no place where oil lamps and torches could be placed.

Triggering associations, Zhou Zhichu suddenly thought that since Lingyu is the key to the mechanism, does it also mean that the gate will no longer shine in the future at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, the two of them finally walked to the end of the corridor, there was a huge room, Zhou Zhizhi paid attention, this room is actually leaning on the inside of the corridor, if the monument is really a tower-shaped structure, then this room is actually in the middle of the tower.

The room also had two equally large doors, except that at the moment the doors were open, and there was light coming from inside.
