Chapter Forty-Six: Crossing

The three of us were really tired, our legs were weak and we hadn't eaten water for a long time, and we felt groggy and couldn't lift our strength.

The flashlight shone ten meters ahead, and everything was still the same, potholes and wet, with no end in sight.

Zhang Yang leaned against a large rock protruding from the rock wall and looked ahead, and said, "Don't you think it's strange? ”

I said, "It's a little strange, the pursuers didn't chase after us, and we couldn't get out, I think we should have encountered a ghost hitting the wall." ”

The grasshopper looked at his watch very calmly, the luminous dial showed green light points, these light points seemed to be still moving, he looked at it for a while, and said: "This is not an ancient tomb, it is impossible to meet ghosts hitting the wall, I think, we have encountered the hallway illusion." ”

I was surprised: "Illusion in the hallway? ”

Zhang Yang said: "A kind of mechanism of the entrance tomb, it will make people fall into a kind of illusion, in the illusion, they can see everything that their hearts desire and cannot achieve, and they may also experience the things that they are most afraid of in their hearts, our current situation is that we are eager to rush to the Falling Cloud Palace, it is precisely because we are afraid that we can't reach it, and all will appear to be able to walk the road that can never be completed." ”

I nodded slightly in agreement, but I still had some doubts in my heart, and after hearing Zhang Yang's analysis, the gnats also nodded in agreement, but he also put forward his own opinion, that is, this may also be another hallway illusion, and its principle is similar to the current mirror effect.

In order to save battery, we only have one flashlight available, and in the dim darkness I seem to see a faint golden light on my chest, and Zhang Yang and the gnats have also noticed me. Under the suspicious gaze of the two of them, I pulled open my clothes and took out the Huangquan staff. At this time, a surprising scene appeared.

The golden light emitted by the Yellow Spring Staff instantly enveloped the three of us. At the same time, some words also appeared on the rock wall where the golden light came, and in front of the originally narrow and endless passage, a huge bronze door suddenly appeared, and there was a crystal stone on both sides of the door, which could be called a rockery, and the pale yellow crystal exuded a dazzling luster under the golden light of the Huangquan staff.

I slowly walked to the bronze door with the Huangquan staff, and after Zhang Yang and Qianjue inspected the gate, they came to a conclusion that this gate had three layers. The outermost side, which we see, is bronze, and there seems to be jade in the middle, and the other side is made of metal, but they can't be determined by instrument.

Three materials for one door, this is unheard of and unseen.

As if sensing something, the Huangquan Staff vibrated and flew out of my palm, hovering in front of the gate, and there would be some points of light corresponding wherever the golden light went, and the three of us stood in a row and quietly watched everything that happened in front of us. Suddenly, golden glowing runes flashed on the bronze door, and the time was very short, and I only saw the first few of them. And Zhang Yang also said that he could only remember the three lines on the front surface, but he couldn't do anything about it.

When he was puzzled, the grasshopper, who had not spoken, suddenly took out a piece of rice paper. He fastened the paper to the gate and silently wrote the runes. His amazing memory struck me again, in just a few seconds. He actually memorized all the words, and Bing dictated them accurately at this moment.

After he finished writing, he looked very tired, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said to me, "Boss, I'll take care of the rest." ”

I patted him on the shoulder, and walked up to the piece of rice paper, the runes on it were not the real Huangquan ciphertext, but another script, although this kind of writing has not been recorded in history, and no one has really studied it, but I know them for sure, because my uncle taught me when I was very young.

Is it a mastery that is not passed down by the family? At this moment, I thought so in my heart.

Zhang Yang stood silently behind me for a while, and when he saw that I didn't move or speak, he patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "Can you understand?" What is written on it? ”

I looked at those special runes, nodded and said: "This is a kind of writing often used in the Gulan County Chronicles, mainly used to record some top-secret events, just like the military secret text in the Huangquan Secret Script, a dynasty king only has one person who understands this kind of writing in the court, this person's identity in the court is hidden under his official position, only when the monarch knows his true identity, and after the monarch dies, this person must reveal the identity of his successor to the next monarch, and then commit suicide." ”

Zhang Yang sighed lightly after hearing this, and said: "Once it is lost, even if those real historical materials are placed in front of us, we will never know." ”

The gnats said: "It is precisely because it is a single line, so a lot of information is a unique book, Zhang Yang, and your Zhang family seems to be too."

This is the first time I've heard Gnats talk about Zhang Yang's background, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to want to explain it, so he simply mentioned it and stopped talking about it.

Zhang Yang's face was a little ugly, I don't know if it was because the gnats talked about their family or something, anyway, his expression at this moment was not very natural.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, I patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Let's not be too pessimistic, we are lucky, I know these words, give me a few minutes, I will translate them." ”

The gnats and Zhang Yang leaned on both sides of the gate on both sides, like two listless door gods.

Seeing the tired looks of the two of them, he was also a little anxious, took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and began to decipher these runes.

Ten minutes later, I had completely deciphered the text, it told an unbelievable story, I don't know how it had to do with the door and the space at the door, but it at least gave us a message, especially for me, which was incomparably precious and incomparably cruel.

"Zhang Yang, Grasshopper, I know the meaning of the words."

Two people opened their eyes at the same time and quickly gathered to my side, and the three of them stood facing the gate, just as I was about to decipher the rune, a golden light shot from the gate, illuminating my eyes, and the feeling of a splitting headache made me think of death instantly.

"Ahh

I yelled and felt like I was being carried somebody to a place, and while it was still on the ground, a metal object seemed to fall out of me.

Headache, eye pain, sore throat, no place above the chest is good, limbs curled up together in self-relief, still complaining in my heart why those two people don't take care of me, just so ruthlessly looking at me on the ground like a shrimp.

The noisy footsteps came from far and near, and the fragrance of orchids came to me with the footsteps, and it felt like there were many people walking past me, and the footsteps were light and soft, not like a man.

The pain in his eyes was reduced a lot, and when he squinted his eyes, he saw a piece of blood red, and instinctively bounced up from the ground and sat aside, only to find out after a while that this piece of blood red turned out to be a red carpet.

A man's voice came directly in front of me, "Yi Hui, where is the Seventh Prince?" ”

I squinted my eyes and looked up, the candlelight in front of me was flickering, but it was also bright, a short and swarthy middle-aged man was sitting on a tiger skin looking at me at the moment, there was a young man standing on his left and right, the one on the left was white, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a white armor to be matched with a sword, at first glance there was really a general's momentum, in comparison, the other was much inferior, dark skin and burly body, and what was even worse was that he looked young, but he had a long beard, and he looked like a warrior charging with a scimitar.

Looking at myself again, I was dressed in white and bloodstained, my hands and feet were red, swollen and pus, and the dull pain in my chest was also caused by burns.

"Yi Hui, are you still unwilling to say?"

The middle-aged man was full of anger, and I was really scared out of white sweat when he yelled at me like this.

"Yi Hui, where are the third prince and the seventh prince now, you just need to name one of them, and I can leave your life behind and let you live in this Linglin Palace."

I barely stood up from the ground, looked at everything strange and weird around me, suddenly smiled, and said to myself: "Could it be that I have watched too many TV series, how can there be such an illusion in this hallway fantasy, Yi Hui, who is this?" (To be continued.) )
