Chapter 52: Trapped in the Stone Chamber
Gongzi Qingqian and his party rushed to the cave under the cliff when Shen. When they arrived at the cave lined with stone pillars, it was almost time.
Feng Yan and Yao Tong carried a long rope on their backs. Xuanfei was holding two copper bells in his hands.
"Keep up!" Childe Kiyoshi took the lead and burrowed into the fifth cave.
When everyone came to the end of the cave and saw the lake, they understood the true meaning of the sentence 'Jiang Mengliangzhi'!
"The Technique of Qi Huang should be somewhere underwater!" Childe looked at the unfathomable waterways of the lake.
"Only one?" Yao Tong shouted.
"You don't really think all the treasures are here, do you?" Xuanfei smiled and patted Yao Tong on the shoulder.
"Hey! You're not going to poison me, are you! Don't get too close to me! Yao Tong hid with concern.
"I'm your son's best friend!" Xuanfei laughed angrily at Yao Tong's words.
"That's not for sure! In front of the treasure, what kind of family affection! Friendship! It's unreliable! Yao Tong's words silenced everyone. He's right!
"Don't worry! Everyone is under the emperor's order, and there will be no selfishness! Chen Yi broke the silence.
Everyone present is aware of water, but this lake is very deep, and it is necessary to send a person with super water nature into the water to investigate.
Here is the best shallow water for Childe. His mother trained him in various ways since he was a child. Underwater schoolwork is essential.
But he is a son, and this kind of investigation will not fall on him.
Feng Yan was a competitive person, so he tied the rope around his waist. Childe Qingqian hung the copper bell at the root of the rope tied to the stone pillar by the lake.
They made a good code word: pull the rope twice in danger; See the cave pull around.
Feng Yan jumped into the water and disappeared. Everyone's eyes were on the ropes that sank into the water inch by inch.
"That's too deep, isn't it?" Yao Tong stuck out his tongue. How did he know that the lake was covered with reefs and intricately topography.
After a little longer, everyone's eyes turned to Gongzi Jin's face.
Childe Jinqian just stared at the water calmly, and there was no change in mood on his face.
"Do you want to send another person down to have a look?" Chen Yi felt that Feng Yan had been going down for a long time, and he was afraid that something would happen to him.
"Not necessarily!" Gongzi Jin said coldly.
Suddenly! The bell rang four times. Everyone quickly pulled up the rope.
When Feng Yan was pulled up by everyone, he was already exhausted. No one spoke. Chen Yi took out the Qi Replenishing Pill that had been prepared and fed it to Feng Yan.
After a while, Feng Yan spoke: "From here, swim forward through the six-fold reef, and there is a stone gate on the right. I can't open it! ”
"You rest first! I'll go down and see! "Childe Qingqian admires Feng Yan's water nature and endurance very much.
"Be careful!" Xuanfei said with his arms crossed.
Gongzi Qingqian took off his robe and threw it to Yao Tong. Yao Tong had a worried look on his face. Chen Yi hung the rope on Childe's shallow belt.
Childe dived into the bottom of the water shallowly, and sure enough, it was just as Feng Yan said. Underwater reefs are intertwined.
Childe quickly crossed the six reefs and came to the stone gate.
There was nothing else beside the stone gate. Childe Qingqian pushed hard, but the stone gate did not move at all.
Childe's shallow eyes looked at the stone pillars of different heights beside the stone gate. He counted them, and there were thirty-three pieces in all. This is definitely no coincidence.
Childe Qingqian didn't stay too much. He swam back, intending to get everyone to figure it out.
"How?" Chen Yi dragged Gongzi Qingqian onto the shore of the lake.
"There are thirty-three stone pillars below, but I don't know which one is the switch that opens the stone door." Childe wiped a handful of water droplets from his face.
Yao Tong handed him a handkerchief. Childe waved his hand.
"Let's go down together!" Chen Yi also took off his coat and moved his muscles.
Childe Jinqian had planned to let Rouxin stay, but he knew that it might not be safe to stay outside. So, he took Rouxin's hand and dived underwater with everyone.
The crowd looked at the thirty-three stone pillars and didn't know which one to move.
Childe waved his hand shallowly, and everyone swam away. Then he kicked the nearest stone pillar with his foot.
But the pillar didn't react at all.
Everyone gathered again. Attentive Rouxin found a low stone pillar with handwriting on it. She pulled Gongzi Jin's hand.
Gongzi Jinyan came over to take a look and was pleasantly surprised. The words on that pillar are exactly thirty-three!
Without hesitation, Gongzi Jinqi slammed his palm on the top of the stone pillar.
The stone door opened with a "boom". A powerful suction force sucked everyone into the stone door.
Gongzi Jinyan hugged Rouxin's waist. Rouxin fell on top of him.
Everyone was knocked unconscious. Only Rouxin got up. She found that there was no water here.
Why? Rouxin looked at the bright water waves outside the stone gate and was stunned.
There are two stone gates, but there is nothing unusual to see. Rouxin had no choice but to squat down and call for Gongzi Jin.
Gongzi Jinqian opened his eyes and smiled at the tender and concerned gaze.
When Rouxin helped him sit up, she noticed that there was blood stains on the left side of his brain.
Rouxin knew that Gongzi Jinqian was so badly injured for herself. So she felt guilty. It took out the wound medicine from its bosom and sprinkled it on the head wound of Gongzi Jinqi.
"Are you alright?" Gongzi Jinqian felt a little pain in his head at this time. He grabbed Rouxin's hand.
"It's all my fault!" Rouxin blamed herself.
"Someone else would do the same." Childe Jinqi stood up.
Childe Qingqian, who had already woken up, sat up. He woke up Xuanfei and Yao Tong. Yao Tong grinned and rubbed his left arm.
Chen Yi had already walked to the platform where the book was placed. Xuanfei shouted softly: "Stand back!" Poisonous! ”
Chen Yi stopped and looked back at Xuanfei who had just stood up. Xuanfei stepped forward and reached for the book.
"Wait! You're not afraid of poisoning? Gongzi Jin said coldly.
"I grew up in a poison tank! Are you still afraid of this bit of poison? Xuanfei picked up the scroll.
"If you say it's poisonous, it's really poisonous?" Feng Yan said angrily.
As soon as Xuanfei's hand was released, the book fell to the ground. Immediately the black soil of the ground turned white. Gongzi Jinyan pulled Feng Yan back two steps.
"That's it! The book is first kept by Xuanfei! Let's see how to get out! Chen Yi walked towards the stone gate.
He looked strangely at the waves outside, wondering what was going on.
"How can this water not come in?" Yao Tong spoke everyone's mind.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out either!" Childe sighed lightly.
Chen Yi touched the stone door with his hand. A powerful column of air sent him back a few steps.
"I can't get out here!" Chen Yi turned around and looked around.
When everyone listened to his words, their hearts sank.
Childe Qingqian and Childe Jinqian began to inspect the stone room. But there was nothing else in the stone chamber except a large stone platform.
"Is it true that we can't get out?" Yao Tong sat weakly on the ground.
"Nope! Those who make the stone chamber will have a way out. Childe walked around the stone platform. Gongzi Jin touched the stone wall behind the stone platform.
"There are no corpses here! So there must be an outlet! Chen Yi's words made everyone start to look at it carefully.
"Childe! I hear the sound of water! Yao Tong, who was sitting, lay on the ground.
