It was not difficult to hear from the inquiry in Yi He's mouth that he was quite puzzled by his discovery.

But as I heard what I had said, the look on my face was not shocked.

If there really is a groove next to this crystal, it is just a confirmation of the unspoken speculation in my mind.

However, although the current findings can match my guesses, since I cannot reach the eye position of the golden figure, I can only play and respond, indicating that everything is expected and that there is no need to panic.

"That's right, you can put the crystal in the groove now, but be sure to be safe."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Yi He heard my command and knew that the current situation was not beyond my expectations, so he did not hesitate at all, and began the next action after answering me confidently.

Although Yi He's answer is quite confident, he is by no means a reckless person.

We watched him carefully observe the place left and right, and after finding out the escape path he could choose if an accident happened, we reached out to the crystal in the golden man's eye, and with a slight force in our hand, we tentatively moved it to the groove on the side.

A crisp sound was heard, and the crystal had been put into the groove.

Yi He's expression was visibly relaxed when he saw that his actions didn't trigger any dangerous mechanisms, and then he did the same, putting the second crystal into the groove as well.

And just as the second crystal was placed by him, the sound of the mechanism that I had expected rang in our ears again.

Since I didn't know whether this move was auspicious or evil, after seeing the reaction of the mechanism, everyone hurriedly looked at Yi He, but saw that he jumped down unhurriedly, and returned to us with a little bit of strength on the golden man with his feet.

We looked Yi He up and down, and when we saw that he was safe, we were relieved, and then everyone quietly looked at the golden statue in front of them, waiting for the changes that this mechanism would bring when it was triggered.

However, to our surprise, after the crystal was placed in the groove, not only did nothing earth-shattering happen, but it was extremely quiet, and only a sound of a mechanism could be heard, but nothing changed.

The faces of the crowd were full of doubt, and it was not until the sound of the machine completely disappeared that we understood what had just happened.

This Tongtian Palace was originally brightly lit as Shen Lang pushed open the door, but after the sound of the organ completely disappeared, this bright Tongtian Palace slowly dimmed, as if it had entered the middle of the night.

Everyone raised their heads to take a closer look, and it turned out that because Yihe moved the crystal, the angle at which the crystal received the refraction of light changed, which caused the refraction trajectory of the light to be very different from before.

And the mechanisms here are all interrelated, before it was because the crystals on the twelve golden figures refracted each other, which made the Tongtian Palace full of light, but now with the action of Yihe, the mechanism used for lighting is missing a link, so this place is starting to become dark.

However, as the palace fell into darkness again, one place began to grow brighter.

After the angle of the crystal changed, the light seemed to have another refracted trajectory, and after a new trajectory, the light shone straight towards the plaque at the entrance.

What this light shone on was not the three big characters of Tongtian Palace on the plaque, but a line of small characters under it, and the line of Qin seal characters that we had found at the entrance was shining under the light at this moment.

Long live the first year of the heavens.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After going around and around, we are back to the beginning?

At this time, I suddenly remembered Chunting's self-talk just now, if I remember correctly, what he was talking about just now was the first year of Long Live Tongtian.

It seems that Chunting is indeed much smarter than us, and before we have discovered anything, he has seen the secret of this place one step ahead of us.

"It seems that the mechanisms here are interlocking, and the pattern of Tianyi nobles engraved on the northeast door is actually just the mechanism that opens these twelve doors, and after opening these twelve doors again, the new mechanism is the crystal we see."

After all, Yi He was the one who went to trigger the mechanism himself, and after a little thought, he looked at us and said his guess.

"Since the crystal can refract light, Guan Shan's predecessors carefully polished the crystal, and then left a groove on the golden statue at a fixed angle, so that the light has a new angle, and in this way, we are reminded that the secret hidden next is in this line of words on the plaque at the entrance."

Yihe's guess sounded reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But even if we knew this, we had no clue about the words at the entrance, and now where should we think about it, to discover the secrets that lie within?

In desperation, we had to focus our attention on Chunting, hoping that he could give us a satisfactory answer.

"Well, I'll ask you some questions, and if you find the answers to them, then the true meaning of the words is no longer a secret."

Chunting couldn't help but laugh as he looked at us with a thirst for the truth, watching us ask a barrage of questions.

"First question, what are these words?"

Hearing Chunting's question, our faces were even more puzzled.

Since this line of characters is written in Qin Seal, we don't know it, and the content of this text is only known when Chunting explains it to us.

In that case, why did he ask such a question?

Although his heart was full of puzzlement, out of trust in Chunting for no reason, Xue Nan still replied seriously.

"This line of text is written in Qin Seal, and the content is the first year of Long Live Tongtian, which is a time when Empress Wu was proclaimed emperor."

Chunting nodded and continued to ask.

"The second question is, why is the first year of Long Live Tongtian a time?"

Hearing such a question, we were full of helplessness, but there was no way, since Chun Ting opened his mouth to ask, then he must have his own reason.

Since he had already said this question before, Shen Lang was not worried that he would be embarrassed by saying the wrong thing at this time, so he hurriedly replied.

"Because Long Live Tongtian is a year name used by Wu Zetian, the so-called first year is the first year, so the first year of Long Live Tongtian is the first year that Wu Zetian used this year name."

Chun Ting was noncommittal to Shen Lang's answer, but continued to ask.

"The third question, why do you know that this is a time when you see Long Live Tongtian?"

Hearing Chunting's question, the doubts on our faces were even worse.

Is there any difference between this third question and the second question? Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
