Chapter Forty-Six: The Treacherous Chamber of Secrets
The stone steps have a large drop, and the walls are very irregular, which seems to have been built in a hurry, which is completely different from the outside.
Ye Ran's speed was extremely fast, and he came to the bottom after seven or eight turns.
The situation here is a little better, the ground is still paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and at this time, the fifth night is sitting on the ground with a distracted look, as if he has been hit by a great blow, and he doesn't even notice that someone is coming.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" After a long time, Ye Ran asked tentatively.
The fifth night was shocked, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the door: "You...... Why are you here?"
"I ...... I'm worried about you. Hua Die and the black girl said that you are going to stay here for half a month, and I am worried that the big boss will be hungry, so I will send you something to eat. ”
Hearing this, he smiled bitterly on the fifth night, and combined Ye Ran's nonsense really came as soon as he opened his mouth, what his father said was right, no man can be trusted.
Thinking of this, the fifth night looked at Ye Ran again and found that this thing had already walked over with a smile.
"Boss, why did you dig a secret room in the place where your ancestors are worshipped? What kind of place is this?"
The fifth night sighed, thought about it for a long time, and finally opened his heart and told Ye Ran the secret of the fifth family.
Xiansheng Pavilion, the place where the fifth family worships their ancestors, has been hidden on the top of the mountain of the moon god, and there is no way to know when it originated, and it has been some years since he heard his father say on the fifth night, but how long it is, the old man does not know.
Many years ago, the fifth family fell into the middle of the road, and after some displacement, the head of the family at that time had to take his clan to the Moon God Mountain to live in seclusion, often accompanying the ancestors.
In this way, many more years passed, and it was not until the grandfather of the fifth night that he opened the Moon God Pavilion, and later passed it on to the father of the fifth night.
Fifth Night's father is a very affectionate person, and his wife died after giving birth to Fifth Night, which brought him a great blow, and at the same time, he also declared that Fifth Night was a boy.
Originally, on the fifth night, I had been thinking that my father wanted her to dress as a man, just hoping that she could take over the position of the leader.
But it wasn't until a few years ago when the old man was dying that he finally told the secret of the fifth family, in the underground secret room of the Xiansheng Pavilion, there was the inheritance left by the ancestors of the fifth family, and women and non-descendants were not allowed to enter the secret room.
But to put it bluntly, the father of the fifth night was just hiding his ears and stealing the bell to deceive himself.
In addition to being a daughter, she told Ye Ran for the rest of the fifth night, and finally sighed.
"For the past five years, I have been here every year, and the longest time I stayed for two months, studying every inch of the wall and every stone slab, but this is a secret room, and there is nothing. ”
The knot that had been pressed on my body for many years was finally vented, and the fifth night felt an unprecedented relief. It's also very strange to say, the secret of the fifth family, I didn't even tell Hua Die and the black girl on the fifth night, but today I told Ye Ran to listen.
Ye Ran got up slowly, looked at everything in front of him, and said, "Senior, is there anything special here?"
"Nope. The old woman said firmly, "This place is completely dug out of the belly of the mountain, and is surrounded by hard rocks, without any mechanism. ”
"What kind of space folding method is that?" Ye Ran didn't give up.
"No, there isn't. ”
As she spoke, the old woman in the blood crown paused and said puzzledly, "But there is one thing that is very strange. ”
"What's strange?"
"Don't you think there's no need to pave slates here?"
After the old woman's reminder, Ye Ran also seemed to notice something strange.
From the moment you enter the tunnel leading to the secret room, everything changes, and it is not very neatly built like the outside, although it is not elaborate, but it is also reasonable.
And here, it's completely perfunctory, just like running out of time and messing around, but why do you have to lay bluestone slabs on the ground?
You know, this is a place where the secrets of the Fifth Family are hidden, how can it be so casual, the entire Luna Mountain has been dug out of a hole, do you still care about a little time, a little material, just the ground has been treated, and the other places are perfunctory, this simply doesn't make sense.
Wrong......
Ye Ran muttered secretly, and at the same time squatted down and began to touch the bluestone slab on the ground.
The bluestone slab is very smooth, just like a bronze mirror, it must have been polished for a long time before, and the material is also very special, the old woman recognizes that at least here in Luna Mountain, this kind of stone cannot be found.
Ye Ran was very serious, for fear of missing any bluestone slabs, and slowly, he finally found a strange place, which was at the seam of these bluestone slabs.
Ye Ran's spirit was shocked, and his movements became faster, and he began to carefully inspect the seams between the bluestone slabs.
The fifth night saw that something was wrong, hurriedly came to Ye Ran's side, and asked in a low voice, "Ye Gongzi, have you found something?"
Ye Ran waved his hand, signaling the fifth night not to ask first, and then quickly walked around the secret room, and the strange movement of the seam actually extended to the wall, the roof of the shed, and then back to the ground, and finally converged on a bluestone slab.
Ye Ran looked at it carefully, touched it with his hands, and did not let go of every inch, and finally in the middle of the bluestone slab, there was a small hole the size of a fingernail.
The fifth night was also drawn over, looking carefully at the sunken holes. This hole is not big or deep, and when you touch it with your hands, it seems to be naturally formed, not deliberately made.
Ye Ran stared at Xiao Kong, then turned around in place, as if he was discerning the trend of something, and finally ripped off the water bag on the waist of the fifth night.
"I've taken a closer look, there are no mechanisms in the whole secret room, and there is no spatial folding method, the only strange thing is these bluestone slabs. ”
Hearing this, the fifth night lowered his head and looked carefully at the stone slabs on the ground: "What's wrong with these stone slabs?"
"It's the strange joints of these stone slabs, some places are completely filled with molten iron, and some places are unobstructed, and they extend all the way to the walls around them, to the roofs of the sheds. ”
Ye Ran paused and pulled out the plug of the water bag: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a hidden pattern here, maybe it is related to the secret of your fifth family." ”
After speaking, Ye Ran cautiously injected water into the recess of the bluestone slab in the middle.
As the water overflows outward, clear lines of ravines emerge and stretch in all directions, only when it reaches the junction between the ground and the wall, the water begins to flow in both directions, unable to continue to move upwards along the subtle textures.
Ye Ran frowned, thinking if he was wrong, was all this a coincidence, or was it ......
Thinking of this, Ye Ran couldn't help but look at the water bag in his hand, and the next moment, he had already guessed what the problem was.
"Boss, do you believe me?"
Hearing Ye Ran ask, the fifth night couldn't help but be stunned, but he still nodded.
Seeing this, Ye Ran pulled her to the stone slab in the middle, then took out a dagger and slashed Fifth Night's wrist.
