I saw that when the wire was an inch away from the box, Sheng Shiyao's hand paused, and then moved near the box, as if looking for an inlet. The wire circled around the box and landed on one of the corners, and when they clashed, my heart trembled, but fortunately there was no strange sound.

The next thing is the finework, I don't know how he got it, they were hooked with wire at the four corners, and then a thin slit was exposed in front of the box, and he wrapped the filament around the front, inserted it into the slit, and with a light hook, the lid of the box was picked up. I held my breath, my mind had stopped spinning, just waiting for the box to be fully opened.

But when the box was really opened, Sheng Shiyao and I couldn't help but be stunned, it was empty, it was actually empty inside! How can it be empty? Trying to hide a box under a stone slab is a trick to fool people?

No, I have a very bad feeling. Suddenly, I heard a strange sound, and I asked the man next to me anxiously, "Did you hear anything?" He gave me a silent gesture and listened closely. I turned my head and wondered what it was coming from, like...... It's like an air current. Airflow?! My eyes widened suddenly, and I instinctively looked at the four corners where the oil lamp had appeared before, and sure enough, there was gas gushing out there.

At this time, I don't have to think about it, and I know that this gas will not be a good thing, and the possibilities of several mechanisms I thought about just now are only missing the trick of poison gas. Before I shouted "run", Sheng Shiyao had already dragged me to retreat, but before retreating, he felt a flash in his eyes, and he actually reached into the stone tool and picked up the purple gold box. Immediately I heard the rumbling of stones, looked back, and exclaimed, "Oh no, the stone gate is going to close automatically." ”

Sheng Shiyao grabbed my waist and rushed to the door, at this time the door was only about twenty centimeters left, he pushed me out hard, and when I went out to look back, the door closed a lot, half of his body was stuck in the middle, I tried my best to pull him, but I didn't move a bit, the door became tighter and tighter. At this time, I knew that it would be difficult for him to get out of the middle of this door with his size, but I would never accept that he would be stuck alive by this door.

Just when I began to despair, a miracle appeared, not that the door did not stop, but that Sheng Shiyao suddenly heard a crisp sound of bones all over his body, and then his body was shrinking at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he drilled out of the middle of the stuck stone door. When I looked at the stone gate, I found that it was only ten centimeters away, and it was still gradually closing.

This...... This is incredible, ten centimeters is even a slender girl, it is impossible to pass sideways. The sound of bones sounded again, and I found that Sheng Shiyao's body had changed back to its original state, and three words appeared in my mind - bone shrinking gong!

"What are you still doing in a daze, the gas will still leak out, hurry up." At the same time as the shouting was in my ears, I had already been dragged by his hand to run to the stone steps, but fortunately the mechanism was only in the stone room, and the stone steps were not closed, otherwise we would have been trapped at the bottom and waiting to die. I rushed out of the house in one go, and I didn't activate the stone mill mechanism in the courtyard, and returned the way I came.

After climbing over the wall, he was a little further away before stopping, and even if the poisonous gas leaked out from such a distance, it should be fine. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of collapse, and the house in front of me fell down in a distorted posture, turning into ruins, raising countless dust, Sheng Shiyao and I hurriedly ran some distances, and did not stop until the river.

This...... It was so thrilling that if we came out a minute too late, we would be crushed alive underneath it. Sure enough, the ultimate goal of the agency is always to destroy, to destroy all traces of the truth that may be discovered. Thinking about what happened a minute ago, he couldn't help but whisper: "Just say don't mess with the things inside, you still took the empty box out before leaving, and the mechanism of the stone gate must be under the box." ”

After waiting for a while, I didn't see him having a seizure, so I turned my head and looked at it, and I couldn't help but feel angry. He didn't listen to me complaining, nor did he lament the sudden collapse of the house, but took the box and studied it carefully, I glanced at it, and said angrily, "What is there to study, isn't it just an empty box." ”

Only then did he raise his eyes to look at me, "Do you know why I am looking for the remains of the Khitan King?" Because although the characters on the stone slab are ancient Chinese, they are from the same person as the Khitan script on the middle slate we were looking for outside the forest. ”

I don't understand, what does this have to do with the Khitan king?

He glanced at the position of the Shadow Moon Knife in my arms, and then said: "Your Shadow Moon is the personal belongings of this Khitan King, and he buried the knife under the stone slab for some reason, and carved the origin of the knife on the stone slab. ”

"Wait, are you saying that the ancient Chinese characters engraved on the stone platform we saw just now were also carved by this Khitan king? Isn't he already dead, how could he have known about what happened later? And isn't the whole story narrated in the voice of a military advisor? "I always thought that those words were engraved by the military advisor kneeling there before he died, could it be that the Khitan king did not die, but was later rescued? But in that case, why did the military advisor pretend to be him to maintain peace in the village?

Sheng Shiyao smiled lightly and said, "The reason is very simple, it is true that the Khitan King had an accident, but it may be that when the military advisor moved him to the stone room, he found that he still had a breath left and was not completely dead. For a long time after that, the Khitan king should have been unconscious, otherwise the military advisor would have no reason to pretend to be him. In other words, the stone room was originally supposed to be the place where the Khitan king stayed. ”

In this way, the Khitan king should have woken up later, and in terms of time, it was too late for him to wake up, and his people were basically dead, and some were still dying. But what does this have to do with the box? And where did the Khitan king go in the end? Is he out of the village? ”

Sheng Shiyao said: "This is the key. Obviously, the Khitan king did not die in the end, he recorded what happened on the stone platform, and hid this empty box under the stone platform, which must have been for some purpose. The box was certainly not empty in the first place, and he took the contents from it. ”

I can't figure it out, since the thing was taken away, it was just an empty box, why did I hide it, and even design a deadly mechanism on it? This is completely inconsistent with common sense, basically the protection measures are designed to protect the object itself, if it has lost its value, then why bother so much thought? Is it just to keep outsiders from touching it? From this, it is concluded that even if the original contents of the box are taken away, the empty box still has some value.

Obviously, Sheng Shiyao also thought of this possibility, and he said to me, "Take out your shadow moon." I was surprised and asked, "You're not going to cut this box by force, are you?" "It's too violent, it's mainly something that has been taken out desperately, and if it's tossed by Shadow Moon like that, this box will be a discarded product. But seeing Sheng Shiyao's firm expression and urging eyes, I had no choice but to pull out the Shadow Moon Knife, and try my best to save it before cutting: "Otherwise, if we study it carefully, we may be able to find the trick, and we don't need to forcibly cut it." ”

"There's no time, do it."

Well, it's true that there is no time, I wasted too much time in this room before, I thought I could find the entrance to the secret passage, but now the stone chamber is crushed under the rubble, even if there is a passage, don't think about it. As soon as I gritted my teeth, I held the Shadow Moon Knife to cut the box, but when the Shadow Moon touched the edge of the box, there seemed to be a strange force stopping me.

Sheng Shiyao frowned and asked, "Why don't you do it?" I tried to exert force again, but I still couldn't cut it, as if the box had a magnetic field, and the shadow moon was an anti-magnetic pole, causing a reverse thrust, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It doesn't listen to me and refuses to start." Sheng Shiyao was shocked, grabbed the side of the box and hit my Shadow Moon Knife, but Shadow Moon seemed to have vitality, and even dodged it, in his shocked gaze, I hurriedly said: "I didn't move, it was controlling my manual." ”

Sheng Shiyao didn't continue, but put the box back, and the controlled power in my hand immediately disappeared, and Shadow Moon was in my hands again. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would never have believed that a knife could have an autonomous consciousness. Finally, Sheng Shiyao said: "Forget it, let's see what's wrong with this box in the future, it is estimated that both things belong to the Khitan King, and Shadow Moon can sense the breath above." Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he put the empty box in his arms, took out another box, that is, my purple gold box, and looked at me with a deep gaze.

I immediately reacted to what he meant, hid Shadow Moon behind me, and said in a loud voice, "Don't even think about it!" I would never agree with that. ”

He snorted lightly and said lightly, "I didn't ask you to split it, but let you try to see if Shadow Moon would have the same unknown power to control your hand when it approached." ”

"Really? You promise you won't hit the blade with the box when my Shadow Moon approaches? "It's not that I don't trust him, but judging from his obsessive attitude towards the box in the stone chamber, I'm afraid that he will come hard.

He was also refreshed, and put his grandmother's purple gold box directly on the ground, and let me test it. The result was surprising, Shadow Moon didn't react at all when she approached the box on the ground, as if the external control she had just had been my illusion.

Sheng Shiyao put the empty box on the ground again, and the induction immediately came, and the Shadow Moon Knife had autonomy again. This proves that grandma's box looks similar to this box, but there is actually a difference.
