Chapter 56: The Secret Room After the Stone Chamber
Su Moyan saw that there were traces of a fight on the stone wall, so he knocked with his hand, but found that this stone wall was hollow, so he guessed that there must be a secret room hidden behind the hollow stone wall, so he hurriedly looked everywhere for a mechanism that could open the secret room.
"Your Highness, look." Li Hao found a mark that looked like a flame in the inconspicuous place at the bottom of the sarcophagus. "Brother Yu, there is one here too." The hoarfrost stained an inconspicuous corner, faintly revealing a mark, and then brushed away a thin layer of dust covering it with his hand, and found an imprint that resembled a pattern of flowing water.
"Let's look for it, maybe these marks are the mechanism of the secret passage." Xuan Huaiyu instructed everyone to look for it, but at the moment, only the secret room hidden behind this stone room on this island had not been checked, and he only hoped to enter the secret room earlier to find clues to Chu Yao's whereabouts.
"Yes, I have a hunch that there must be clues to Chu Yao's hiding in this secret room." Su Moyan had heard that the tombs of the ancients were arranged according to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, so she quickly found ancient characters engraved with wood, earth, and gold.
The crowd poked and pressed the marks and words carved on the wall with their hands, and even cast spells on them, only to find that the marks and words seemed to be carved on the stone wall at random, not the mechanism for opening the secret room.
White Frost Dye cast a spell on the mark, and the fire spell burned the stone wall red, but found nothing, "Brother Yu, maybe those marks are not the mechanism to open the secret room, in my opinion, someone must have carved them at will." Brother Yu, Chu Yao is not on this island at all, it must be Su Moyan who can't find it and casually talk nonsense. Bai Shuang Zhan glanced at Su Mo Yan, Su Mo Yan had already found three generals before, Xuan Huaiyu trusted her very much, and obeyed her words, of course Bai Shuang Ran didn't want Chu Yao to be found by Su Mo Yan.
Su Morou had always known that the white frost stain was aimed at her, and she didn't bother to just bury her head in the search for a mechanism that could open the secret room, she jumped into the sarcophagus, and happily found a tiny bulge on the back of the coffin lid, "I found it." Then he pressed it hard, and the stone wall behind it slowly opened, and a secret passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Since stepping into this tomb, Su Moyan's intuition told her that in addition to the clues of Chu Yao's whereabouts in this tomb, there was also the secret of her return to the original world, and she had to enter the secret room even for herself.
The picture that appeared in Su Moyan's mind before made her convinced that the woman lying in the sarcophagus covered with a veil must be hidden in the tomb, and she had heard Xuan Huaiyu mention that the pastor Chu Yao covered her face with a veil all day long, and no one had seen her true face, so she guessed that the woman she saw in her coma lying in the sarcophagus was Chu Yao, so if Chu Yao, one of the five generals, was actually dead, then Xuan Huaiyu's plan to go north to crusade against Jingguo would not be unrealizable? Thinking of this, Su Moyan secretly prayed in her heart, praying that the woman in the sarcophagus was not Chu Yao.
Everyone entered the secret passage, suddenly several cold arrows shot out from all directions, everyone hurriedly used the weapons in their hands to resist, and when the dozens of cold arrows were knocked to the ground, everyone passed through the secret passage, and after the secret passage was a narrow stone room, the center of the stone chamber was hung with a small silk thread with three transparent potion bottles, and the oblique above everyone's head was a depression, and a delicate and small hourglass was placed in the depression, since everyone entered the stone room, the hourglass had already begun to time, Su Moyan asked Xuan Huaiyu beside him: " Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smell a pungent smell? ”
Xuan Huaiyu bowed his head, and his sword eyebrows frowned: "It's the smell of fire oil." He hurriedly raised his feet again, only to see that the soles of the white cloud pattern boots were stained with black oil, so he hurriedly reminded everyone: "Oh no, everyone go back." ”
Everyone wanted to return from the dark passage, but they dodged the cold arrows shot from the dark passage, but the stone wall that had just been opened suddenly closed in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone had to return to the narrow stone chamber again.
Su Moyan pointed to the hourglass on the stone wall and asked Xuan Huaiyu, "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know how many hours are left in that hourglass?" ”
Xuan Huaiyu replied: "The quicksand in the bottle flows so fast, I'm afraid there is only half an hour left. ”
Su Moyan hurriedly stepped forward to check the three potion bottles hanging in the air, and saw that the potion bottles contained red, green, and purple potions respectively, so he lowered his head and pondered how to get out.
Mu Qingyun saw that Su Moyan first asked the time, and then secretly observed the herbs in the medicine bottle, so he asked, "Miss Su, but what did you find?" ”
Su Moyan pondered for a moment for a long time before he said slowly: "I guess two of these three potion bottles are burning herbs, and placing a timekeeping hourglass on the stone wall is for us to make a choice within half an hour, if we choose the wrong one, the burning herbs in the bottle will fall on the fire oil, igniting the fire oil in the stone room, and we will be buried in the fire." ”
Mu Qingyun walked up to Su Moyan and checked the three bottles of potions with her, and asked, "How did Miss Su find out the connection between the potion bottles and the hourglass?" ”
"Previously, we found the imprint and words of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the stone room, since we entered this secret room, first encountered the dark arrow, and then smelled the smell of fire oil, as well as these three potion bottles, I speculated that the dark arrow represents gold, and the fire oil represents fire, then the herbs in this potion bottle are wood, I guess there is water and earth afterward, and I saw the hourglass placed in the stone room, so I guessed the intention of the person who arranged the mechanism."
Mu Qingyun asked again: "Then according to Miss Su's opinion, which bottle should we choose among these three bottles of medicine?" ”
Su Moyan shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about herbs and potions, and I can't be sure which bottle to choose. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shuang Dye sneered: "I thought how powerful you were, but you only knew how to make a mistake, and after a long time, you didn't know how to make a choice." ”
White Frost Dye sneered at Su Moyan all the way, and she couldn't bear it every time, but White Frost Dye did not restrain because of her tolerance, but even if she was in deep danger, White Frost Dye still targeted her everywhere as soon as she seized the opportunity, only to see Su Mo Yan smile softly and said: "I don't know, but I don't know what the archmage has to say?" ”
"I ...... I...... What if I smash all three bottles, I think so? In my opinion, it's not an organ at all, it's just that someone is playing tricks here. "After the white frost dye finished speaking, he was going to use a spell to shatter the three bottles of potion.
"Frost-stained, no." Xuan Huaiyu hurriedly stopped, the ground was full of fire oil, if it was really as Su Mo Yan said, two of the three bottles of medicine were combustion-boosting medicines, if the fire oil was ignited, and there was no other outlet in this stone room, then they would only be burned alive here.
Seeing that half an hour was about to pass soon, and everyone couldn't distinguish the herbs in the bottle, Su Moyun came to Mu Qingyun for help, "Mu Gongzi, you are quite proficient in refining potions on weekdays, do you know the herbs that grow on this Yuting Island, do you know which herbs are red, green, and purple in color?" ”
Mu Qingyun shook his head and said, "I'm really ashamed to be here, I can't recognize them all." There were so many herbs in this Yuting Island, some of which he had never seen before, and he couldn't tell which color the juice of those herbs was, or maybe the potion in that bottle was not made from one herb.
Suddenly, Ah Ling's voice interrupted everyone's contemplation, "Sister Su, it's too bad, it's about to be time." ”
Su Moyan suddenly got up and nodded to Xuan Huaiyu and Mu Qingyun, wanting to raise his hand to touch the green potion bottle, "No matter, it's it." ”
White Frost Dye hurriedly stopped: "Su Moyan, if you want to die, don't take us with you." You are not allowed to touch this bottle. ”
"It's too late, half an hour is coming, and if we don't make a choice, we won't even have the only chance to survive." After Su Moyan finished speaking, he wanted to reach out and grab it, but Bai Shuangran hurriedly stopped him, seeing that they were about to fight, Xuan Huaiyu hurriedly stopped, "Shuang Zhan, Yan'er is right, if we choose, we still have a glimmer of hope, if we don't choose, we don't even have a chance to live." ”
"Brother Yu, it's all because of this demon girl that we are trapped in the tomb, it's all because of him, it's all her fault."
