Chapter 103: The Ancient Tomb in a Dream
With white skin and black eyes, his face was like frost, and sure enough, it was the young man in white who had a similar face to Lou Yue.
"You woke up the curse, you shouldn't have touched that thing in the first place." There seemed to be a trace of worry in the young man's eyes, and a faint sigh floated in. "If you continue to make contact, not only will you die, but you will also implicate more people."
"Less of this! Lao Tzu is different from those people! ”
Perhaps to hide the uneasiness in his heart, the anger in his chest was aroused again, and the words of rebuke blurted out uncontrollably.
"Although Lao Tzu sold that batch of gems in a daze for a while, it's not too late now, as long as I can recover them all before more people notice, I will be ...... Humph......"
"Stupid." There was a faint hint of anger in the young man's eyes, and a red light like a flame flashed in the depths of his deep pupils. "You're going to hurt everyone in this country!"
The thin figure of the young man began to ripple with the ethereal sound, gradually fluctuating and scattering, becoming lighter and fainter.
"You...... Who are you!!? ”
The questions that followed suddenly came up, as if they were afraid that the boy would disappear again, and this time the roar became particularly urgent...... with the truth.
"Smack——!
With a pain on his face, Ye Yu suddenly opened his eyes and found that what appeared in front of him was not the young man in white, but the cold face of the Xia examiner.
"Who am I? Hmph, I'm your examiner! The summer examiner's face was full of sarcasm. Have you had enough of daydreaming? Do you still have to take the exam?? ”
Ye Yu was shocked, and was shocked to find that he was the only one left in the entire lounge, and the countdown on the bracelet had passed for a full four hours.
"I ...... Can I go in now?? Ye Yu, who was slapped in vain, was obviously a little dazed, and he didn't seem to have figured out the situation yet.
"Hehe, you don't have to go in, if you want, I can also send someone to send you back to the house now, so that you can sleep well, what do you think?" Examiner Xia smiled "kindly", but this smile made Ye Yu break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm sorry! I'll go in now! Ye Yu hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, didn't bother to tidy up his somewhat messy clothes, picked up his coat and hurriedly rushed into the door of the third exam.
"Tsk, I actually sent this kind of stunned young ...... What the hell does the Director-General think? Alas......" The summer examiner looked at Ye Yu's back and shook his head gently. At this moment, an invigilator in black uniform hurriedly came over and whispered a few words to the summer examiner.
“…… I know. After pondering for a moment, the summer examiner gestured to the invigilator on the side.
The walls of the common room shook again, closing the entrance to the third exam.
After doing all this, the Xia examiner quickly led the people and left quickly.
------------------
In the dimly lit aisle, an agile figure flickered by like a ghost.
Shen Xiao vigilantly dodged the monitors around him, and instantly scurried into a dead end. After confirming that no one saw him, he quietly pulled out a mechanical beetle the size of a fingernail and a black body from his hair.
Luckily, there was one hidden......
Shen Xiao thought about it, and with a flick of his finger silently, the mechanical beetle seemed to have a life, and quickly flew to the nearest monitoring probe, and after a while, it stuck to it and got into the gap of the probe.
After a while, the mechanical beetle returned triumphantly and docked on Shen Xiao's slender jade finger again.
That should be fine......
Shen Xiao looked at the proud work on his fingertips, and a sense of happiness arose.
She didn't expect the turmoil of the first exam before, not only was the hidden mechanical spider confiscated, but she even almost lost the exam qualification, for which she felt some regret for her impulsiveness...... But fortunately, the follow-up is quite smooth, if even the beetle in his hand is checked, then he will be in vain this time.
Shen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and at the same time pinched the beetle's back shell, quickly pressed a button inside, and then let go of his hand again.
The mechanical beetle rose again, and this time it flew slowly deeper into the aisle instead of at the camera.
Now that we're done here, let's ......
Shen Xiao looked at the unknown road in the distance, stabilized his mind, and then no longer hesitated, and immediately followed the beetle and ran away.
--------------------------
Ye Yu walked blankly in the monotonous and narrow passage, and his heart was completely bottomless.
Is this going up, or is it spinning in circles?
With its blue-gray stone walls and blue-gray floors, this windowless serpentine corridor resembles a monster's esophagus, and the deeper you go, the more you feel like you're being swallowed up.
Ye Yu didn't know where he had gone, only that he had been walking in this bottomless secret passage for more than an hour.
The internal structure of this "bird's egg" building is completely beyond his expectations, not only is the structure of the building irregular, but it is not an exaggeration to call it a labyrinth. Originally, Ye Yu was still lucky, thinking that the official would leave some hints at the third exam site, but it turned out that he was indeed too naïve, because he was faced with a clueless multiple-choice question when he first entered the exam room.
Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu.
Four huge stone-carved gates stood directly in front of the entrance, which became Ye Yu's first problem.
No instructions, no guides, just intuition.
As for what is behind the door, whether it can lead to the upper floor, Ye Yu doesn't know anything, and now all he can do is simply choose one of the four.
Ye Yu carefully probed the four stone gates, and after confirming that there was really no hint, he could only choose a random door and walk in.
After walking for so long and not exiting, should I choose the wrong "Qinglong"?
Ye Yu muttered in his heart, and even suspected that he would run out of time in this long passage, and at this moment, in the monotonous scenery circulating in front of him, something different suddenly appeared.
What is that?
Ye Yu's spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly ran forward, but saw a huge cyan stone door firmly blocked at the end of the passage, and the end of the walkway had already arrived.
Ye Yu cautiously approached the stone gate, stretched out his hand and tried to push it, but the gate did not move at all.
This door is so tightly closed, it must be hiding some kind of mechanism to open the door......
Ye Yu thought about it, raised his head and looked at the door carefully, and found that this stone door was carved with a delicate pattern, which seemed to be a green dragon in the "Four Elephants". I saw that this green dragon was facing the middle, the dragon's mouth was slightly open, and its body was hovering around, at first glance, it seemed to have the illusion of rushing out of the stone gate and rushing to it, giving people a strong sense of visual oppression. However, the strange thing is that just below the dragon's mouth, there is a very messy area, with long and short lines of different thicknesses intertwined, as if someone had carved them indiscriminately.
Ye Yu was suspicious in his heart, and once again stepped forward to stare at the area and took a closer look, but this time he found some clues.
I saw that there seemed to be some shallow gaps on the stone surface carved with those lines, and looking along the gaps, Ye Yu was surprised to find that these gaps actually divided the messy area in a regular manner, forming a square nine-square grid as a whole, and at the bottom of this nine-square grid, there seemed to be a stone surface missing, revealing a square groove.
"Is this ...... Jigsaw puzzle?? ”
Ye Yu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly pressed a stone surface above the groove and dragged it down hard.
Listening to the sound of "click", the stone face above separated into a block surface and slid into the square groove along the gap, and the original position of the block surface revealed the same square groove.
And so it was!
Ye Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly tried to drag another piece to verify his idea again.
It seems that this door can only be opened after completing this nine-square grid puzzle, so the question now is, what kind of pattern should this nine-square grid be put together?
Ye Yu pondered and began to sort out the seemingly chaotic lines in the area.
In each square block, there are three parallel straight lines, but not all of these lines are continuous, and some of them are broken by the middle line, forming two short lines; Some are broken in two straight lines, and only one is complete; In addition, three of them were broken in one piece, forming six parallel short lines. In addition, the straight lines in different block planes are not the same, vertical, horizontal, and diagonal, and there seems to be no regularity.
Ye Yu took two steps back, staring at those lines and blocks while quickly simulating in his mind.
Two short and one long, two long and one short...... I think I've seen these things somewhere......
Ye Yu raised his eyes and looked at the huge green dragon carving on the entire door again.
Qinglong ...... Four Elephants...... Not? Wait a minute......
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and Ye Yu was excited, and immediately stepped forward and quickly slid up the block surface.
“…… Moved here...... All right! ”
As the last stone face was in place, a complete Bagua array suddenly appeared under the dragon's mouth of the stone carved green dragon; And at the moment when the Bagua Array was completed, the heavy stone gate suddenly shook, and at the same time slowly sank to the ground.
Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip...... Sure enough, I guessed correctly.
Ye Yu looked at the open stone door, and his heart was happy, but at this moment, he didn't have time to be complacent, but his eyes suddenly froze in the small weird space behind the door.
It was a stone room, a stone room that seemed familiar.
The dim oil light outlines the furnishings in the stone room. Altars, frescoes, stone seals...... and the pitch-black rectangular coffin in the center of the altar.
This...... This is......!!
The pictures in the depths of his consciousness instantly swarmed out, overlapping with the scene in front of him, which made Ye Yu feel unreal for a moment.
Ye Yu's body froze suddenly, and his whole body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, he remembered this place, and even ...... "came here" in person.
This stone chamber ...... It was exactly the same as the Loulan tomb in the previous dream!
