726. Scorpion
After that, as if he was afraid that Emperor Jianian would regret it, he quickly turned his horse's head and left.
Although the people he brought didn't understand what was going on, when they saw their general do that, they had to hurriedly follow, leaving Di Jianian alone in place.
Qi Yuandao's transformation came too quickly, his head couldn't turn for a while, and he even wondered if Qi Yuandao was really afraid of himself.
Soon Emperor Jianian shook his head and dispelled this unreliable idea.
Qi Yuandao's sudden retreat must have been because he had received the news that Emperor Qianling was safe; And the young man's confession just now is likely to give him this convincing reason.
And the only way to prove that the Emperor Qianling is safe and sound, and to make Qi Yuandao believe in the authenticity of this news, is ......
Di Jianian's face sank suddenly, and he quickly turned around and walked towards the house.
On the other side, Qi Yuandao was preoccupied on the way to retreat, and finally he couldn't hold back, grabbed the young man and asked, "What you just said, is that really the case?" ”
The young man nodded like pounded garlic, "Seriously, seriously!" The news that they are safe and sound is indeed conveyed by Lord Zhaoyu! She disguised herself as a maid and seemed to deliver the news, and the moment she took off her headscarf, I was stunned! ”
Qi Yuandao nodded with satisfaction, "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe......"
On the other side, Ye Jingjing and Emperor Qianling groped around the wall, but still didn't find the mechanism.
Ye Jingjing felt a deep headache and asked, "Could it be that Jiayue knew that Zhaoyu would peek, so she deliberately went in the wrong direction, and waited for Zhaoyu to completely faint before leaving from the main entrance?" ”
"There is a possibility ...... this"
Before Emperor Qianling's words were finished, Zhao Yu shook his head and interrupted him, "No, I did see her open the same thing with my own eyes, but ...... I don't remember exactly where she touched. ”
Qi Wushuang asked patiently, "Are you really sure?" Could it be a mistake? ”
Zhaoyu shook his head stubbornly, "It's impossible to remember wrong, because I remember the lettering on the wall...... Uh, why does it seem to be the other way around? ”
She struggled towards Ye Jingjing's side, as if she wanted to get closer to observe.
Qi Wushuang hurriedly helped her over, and Zhaoyu almost lay on the wall, his face full of doubts, "Impossible, why is this word reversed?" ”
There are two words engraved on the wall, which are "kill" and "cut", but they are reversed as if they were reflected by a mirror.
Ye Jingjing noticed these two words at the beginning, and thought that this was some kind of mechanism or hint, but no matter how she made trouble, she didn't react, so she had to give up and look for another clue.
But now when it rains, it is like a cool breeze, blowing away the fog in her mind, and she suddenly realizes, "I know! Zhaoyu did remember the wrong direction! ”
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, Ye Jingjing pointed to the text and said excitedly, "Although I don't know if this word is deliberately reversed, Jiayue used the simplest visual confusion to make Zhaoyu think that she remembered the direction of the exit!"
"Think about it, if you put a few bronze mirrors around Zhaoyu and near this door, after multiple reflections, will this character become negative and positive, and become normal?"
Emperor Qianling also understood what Zhaoyu meant, "In this way, Jiayue's plan is to make Zhaoyu mistakenly think that this is an exit, just like when Su Qingping poisoned her, but in fact, there is another way?" ”
Qi Wushuang was puzzled, "But Zhaoyu won't see that there is a bronze mirror?" And...... The color reflected by the copper mirror is different from normal vision, right? ”
"At that time, Zhaoyu had been poisoned, I'm afraid she thought that the color in her vision was caused by poisoning." Ye Jingjing said. "As for the bronze mirror...... Human memory is deceptive, and when you care too much about one thing, you forget everything else around you. ”
She turned her head and asked Zhaoyu, "Zhaoyu, if you recall carefully, do you remember everything except this exit and the lettering?" ”
Zhaoyu thought hard and nodded, "Yes, don't say what kind of mirror...... I don't even remember what the roof was like. ”
Ye Jingjing clapped her hands, "That's right!" So on the other hand, what Jiayue is fiddling with here is definitely not a mechanism, but something that confuses Zhaoyu's sight. Well, the real outlet should be in ......"
Ye Jingjing said, suddenly ran to the candlestick on the opposite side, pushed hard, only to hear a "boom", everyone only saw a secret door slowly open.
"I've long thought it's strange that this candlestick looks too clean......"
Ye Jingjing muttered as she beckoned everyone to plan to go inside.
However, she only felt a gust of yin wind coming, followed by an anxious "beware" from Emperor Qianling.
When Ye Jingjing turned around again, she only saw a sharp but pitch-black thing rushing out.
Fortunately, her muscle memory has been exercised, and now as long as she sees danger, Ye Jingjing will not hesitate to avoid it, and this time is no exception, with her extraordinary reaction, she quickly dodged it, only to feel frightened.
Because she clearly saw that what attacked her just now was a huge pincer!
"What kind of monster is that......"
Ye Jingjing muttered to herself, and felt a flower in front of her, and it turned out to be Emperor Qianling who quickly dragged herself aside.
Qi Wushuang and Zhaoyu were also shocked and vigilant, and they were ready to fight.
Just now, Ye Jingjing only looked back to greet everyone, and didn't pay attention to the things behind the exit, and now, after hearing something heavy rubbing against the floor, she also read something from the stunned gaze of Emperor Qianling and the others.
Soon, a huge scorpion crawled out from behind the door.
Ye Jingjing covered her mouth and forced herself not to scream.
Even after all she had experienced, she still couldn't accept the scene in front of her.
The scorpion was so big that it had to be curled up in a ball to fit into the passage behind the door.
At this moment, in front of it, Ye Jingjing only felt that she was a dwarf.
"There are still such beasts in this world......
Emperor Qianling's eyes widened in surprise and he spoke slowly.
The behemoth rolled its eyes, and suddenly found Ye Jingjing, a pair of pincers flew straight over without hesitation!
Ye Jingjing and Emperor Qianling hurriedly took a leap and dodged the attack, but they forgot that the scorpion also had a tail thorn, and the barb stained with venom was like a sharp weapon that shone with cold light.
Fortunately, Qi Wushuang threw the candlestick as a weapon in time, so that the barb deviated from the direction and saved Ye Jingjing and Emperor Qianling.
Seeing that the scorpion was waving its pliers because of the pain, smashing the wall to pieces in one fell swoop, Ye Jingjing couldn't help but gasp, "What kind of monster is this?" ”
