Chapter 38: I'll take the lead

"This guy is so relaxed, there must be a ghost in his heart!" Gong Shaoxue was convinced of this, so he followed Mu Jinyun closely, not daring to relax in the slightest.

The eldest prince came to the vicinity of the stone pillar, looked up, looked left and right, stretched out his arms and measured it, his mouth was amazed, and he said to Gong Shaoxue with a smile: "Come, fairy, let's hug together." ”

Gong Shaoxue's ghost made a miracle, holding hands with him, and surrounded the stone pillar together, but he couldn't even surround a small half circle.

"This pillar is so thick!" Mu Jinyun said happily, and when he let go of his hand, he took the opportunity to pinch it twice on someone's small hand.

Gong Shaoxue hurriedly withdrew her hand, blushing with shame, and glared at him fiercely.

The eldest prince of Mu didn't care a few times, and looked up to see the carving on the stone pillar, which was carved with dragons and phoenixes on the pillar surface, coiled up, very realistic.

After shaking his head and admiring for a while, Mu Jinyun passed through the middle of the two stone pillars, and Gong Shaoxue followed him inch by inch, and also walked in.

Behind the pillar was a clearing, and in the center stood a stone monument that could be as tall as a man, standing on a square stone pedestal, and nothing else.

The two men glanced at each other and walked to the stele together, wanting to see if there were any words or patterns engraved on it.

However, the front of the stele is as smooth as a mirror, which can clearly reflect the figures of the two people, and the top is empty, without any words or patterns.

Mu Jinyun went around to the back of the stele to inspect, and found that there was no text description on this side, but it was carved with a pattern, and the shape of the pattern was very abstract and obscure, so he turned back and shook his head at Gong Shaoxue.

Standing in front of the stele again, the two of them thought about what the stele should be for, otherwise, what would the lone pestle do here.

"Snow fairy, do you think it can be some kind of mechanism, as long as you crack it, you can open the entrance to the secret room in the stone hall. Mu Jinyun asked.

Gong Shaoxue observed carefully for a while, and said in an uncertain tone: "It's not like, maybe it's a stone tablet, or it may be a mirror." ”

"No, for no reason, why did that senior set up a stone monument here, this doesn't make sense. ”

"I don't know why, but he did it, he had his own reasons, we just can't guess, let's look carefully and see if we can find any clues. ”

The two stared at the stele again and again, for fear of missing any details.

"What are you two looking at?" Xiao Hatfeng's voice came from behind him, and with the voice, the little guy walked over quickly, "Brother-in-law, what have you found?"

Mu Jinyun nodded at the stone stele, "Hey, it's this broken thing, it's like a stele and a mirror, and the fairy and I are pondering, what is it for?"

The little guy circled around the stele a few times, and carefully checked the base, and found that all the joints were tightly fitted, and they were integrated with the entire stone hall.

"Don't look for it, we've searched many times, and we haven't found any traces of man-made, it's like it grew out of the ground, and it completely blends in with this place. Mu Jinyun said.

"Brother-in-law, could it be some kind of agency?"

"I don't know!" Makizumo shrugged his shoulders, "I used to guess so, but the snow fairy didn't think so. ”

"What is my sister's reason, why do you think so?" Xiao Hatfeng asked curiously.

Gong Shaoxue shook her head gently, "I can't say clearly, but I suddenly had this thought, maybe it's an intuition, to be honest, I don't have any definite reasons." ”

"I think there must be a tomb underneath the stele. Xiao Hatfeng concluded, "Otherwise, what are you doing here?"

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no text on the stele, how do you know that it is a tombstone?" Gong Shaoxue retorted.

"Can't it be a tombstone without words, there are more wordless tombstones, maybe the owner of the tombstone saw the ancestors, so he didn't have the face to engrave his name on the tombstone. ”

"Why didn't he have the face to see his ancestors?" asked the old man, holding his chin.

"Then I don't know, I may have done something bad, I'm afraid of being blamed by my ancestors!"

"What kind of bad thing can it be if you do something bad?"

"Then it's even harder to guess, maybe it's coercion to join the gang, forcing people to do bait or something, in short, it's not a good thing. ”

"Stinky boy, are you in arrears, dare to insinuate me!" Gong Shaoxue scolded angrily.

Xiao Hatfeng stuck out his tongue in fright, and quickly hid behind Mu Jinyun.

Brother Mu pulled him out, and criticized him in a serious tone: "Tell the truth, regardless of the occasion, you deserve to be scolded, this is obviously an organ, what kind of tombstone is it." ”

"Yes, yes, my brother-in-law is right, it's just a mechanism, look at me cracking it. ”

As he spoke, he leaned over to push the base of the stele, and used all his strength, but the stele did not move.

"Sister come over and help me, let's push it together!"

Gong Shaoxue said coldly: "You are doing it brutely, even if it is some kind of mechanism, it is impossible to open it in this way, or..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Mu Jinyun shouting: "Look, look, there is a change on the surface of the stele." ”

I saw that the originally smooth and smooth surface of the stele suddenly rippled in a circle, like a stone thrown into the water.

Several people were surprised, and subconsciously took a few steps back, and the ripples on the stele quickly disappeared, and the stele regained its calm.

The three men looked at each other, unclear as to what this change meant.

"Snow fairy, Xiao Sheng can now conclude that it must be some kind of mechanism. Mu Jinyun said conclusively.

Gong Shaoxue snorted, and carefully inspected the stone tablet again, trying to find a way to crack the mechanism.

"Sister Xue, it's wrong, it's wrong, you don't have to look for it, the way to open the mechanism is not outside. Xiao Hatfeng suddenly said, "It's the stele, and the stele is the key to cracking the mechanism." ”

Gong Shaoxue stopped and turned to look at Xiao Hatfeng: "Oh, what do you think, let's hear it!"

"Sister, we're both thinking about how to move it, it's probably wrong, maybe the way to open the mechanism is not to break, but to enter. ”

"Enter?" Gong Shaoxue walked to the near side of the stele, stared at the stele, and asked softly, "You mean, enter the stele?"

"Yes, I think so, it's not that it can't be cracked, but the method of cracking is wrong, and the change it just now doesn't mean that the other side of it is the entrance to the mechanism. ”

Gong Shaoxue pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly, "It makes sense, maybe entering the monument is the key to cracking it, you are right, the way to open it may be to enter rather than break." ”

"Snow fairy, is there a description of this item in the treasure map you got?" Mu Jinyun suddenly asked.

"No, that treasure map can only help us find the entrance to the cave, and we need to explore the rest ourselves. ”

Gong Shaoxue responded, turned around and returned to the side of the two, and said with a smile: "Since you have found a way, you might as well try it, but there needs to be someone to take the lead..."

The two of them looked at Xiao Hatfeng together, and the little guy simply lay on the ground and shouted loudly: "Kill me, I won't go if I am killed, my sister will kill me now." ”

"Hate the wind, why are you playing with the child's temper again, my sister has told you many times..."

"Don't say any more, I'm not going to do anything anyway. Xiao Hatfeng refused.

pleaded with Mu Jinyun again: "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that there is no next time, you said that you would help me, she bullied me, you can't accompany her to bully me." ”

Mu Jinyun touched his head in embarrassment, and looked at the little guy with some embarrassment, he had said those words, but he hadn't thought that he would need to fulfill his promise so soon.

Who knows what's inside the stele, in case it's the tiger's den in Longtan, you don't dare to try it, I'm just a mortal, and I don't have the guts.

However, after all, he promised to people in front of him, the eldest husband will not stand without faith, and what he says is a nail, and it is not the style of the shepherd brother to be untrustworthy.

For the eldest prince, it is not impossible to be a scoundrel, but it is necessary to divide the time and occasion, and at this time, he can't help but be trustworthy.

Thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways and waved his hand at Xiao Hatfeng, "Get up, you don't need to take risks, Lao Tzu is a talker, this time, Lao Tzu will take the lead." ”

"What can you do!" Gong Shaoxue reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "You have no cultivation, taking risks is equivalent to sending you to death, I don't agree with you doing this." ”

Mu Jinyun waved his hand and said with a big grin: "It's okay, I'll just touch it, maybe nothing will happen, touch it, you can't die." ”

"It may be dangerous to touch it, I promised Sister Xiangyi to ensure your safety, I will not agree to you to take the risk. ”

"Then the fairy go and touch it, I can give you this opportunity, I have no objection to you going on an adventure. ”

"You, why are you like this?" Gong Shaoxue shouted angrily, "I don't know the hearts of good people, you, bastard!"

Mu Jinyun laughed, "My family Ziyan often says this about me, the fairy is right, I'm just a bastard, the bastard is going to touch the mirror, you both look at it carefully." ”

Xiao Hatfeng jumped up from the ground and grabbed Mu Jinyun's sleeve, "Brother-in-law, it's good for me to talk about it, let me go, you don't cultivate, you can't protect yourself after being in danger, you can't go." ”

"No!" Mu Jinyun said seriously, "After all, make trouble, since I officially promised something, it must be fulfilled." ”

"For me, the result is not important, but things must be done, this is the foundation of my life, and no one can make me break my vows. ”

Mu Jinyun replied like this, Xiao Hatfeng agreed very much, cultivators keep their promises, otherwise in the process of cultivation, it is easy to breed demons in their hearts, and breaking their promises is the great precept of cultivators.

"Brother-in-law is right, I won't stop you, I'll touch it with you. The little guy replied with a little face raised.

Mu Jinyun was moved, this cheap brother-in-law really didn't have anything to say to him, he really regarded him as a relative, his younger brother is like this, his sister must be no different, he loves the house and Wu, Mu Jinyun suddenly missed Xiao Xiangyi a little.

"It's better for me to accompany my son!" Gong Shaoxue said with a smile, "My cultivation is higher than that of hating the wind, I will be safer with my son, let me come!"

Mu Jinyun immediately raised his big finger and praised Gong Shaoxue sincerely: "The snow fairy is high and bright, and she is finally willing to come out, you can go with confidence, my sister-in-law and I will cheer you on." ”

Gong Shaoxue looked at him in surprise, "What you just said moved me a lot, why did you change your hexagram in an instant, what do you mean, do you want me to go on an adventure alone?"

"Yes, yes, since the fairy is willing to take risks, why bother with me again, I'm of no great use as a person, it's better to stand on my feet and cheer. ”

Xiao Hatfeng also nodded busily, "Well, brother-in-law is right, and me, I can also stand up and cheer for Sister Xue." ”

Gong Shaoxue couldn't wait to beat them, who are they, it's true, it's not that the family doesn't enter the door, the brother-in-law doesn't care, and the brother-in-law is even more bastard.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, the snow fairy tried her best to make herself look pleasant, "Childe, are you serious?"
