Chapter 178: Footprints That Shouldn't Have Appeared
Chapter 178 Footprints that should not appear
Zhou Lu was a little embarrassed, but Yuan Sacrifice didn't care so much, and directly cut off a large piece of meat on the deer with an ice blade and threw it to Zhou Lu! He didn't care about him anymore, and sat on the ground with Mu Yue, chatting while eating! Zhou Lu muttered, and by chance he was heard by Yuan Sacrifice: "What did you just say?" ”
Zhou Lu scratched his head, not daring to say it, but he still took a bite of venison first, and then raised his head to the Yuan Sacrifice: "Sect Master, I mean, I didn't expect you to eat too!" "He'd never seen these three people eat, and he always thought that their cultivation was so advanced that they didn't need to eat at all!
Hearing this, Yuan Sai smiled and didn't care, although he was a guardian god in his previous life, but in this life he is a real person! God may not need to eat, but she is not God now, so of course she must eat, or wait to starve to death? Zhou Lu has not seen it, it does not mean that others have not seen it, thinking of this, he glanced at Zhou Lu and ignored it anymore.
"Sister, to be honest, the two of you haven't changed much compared to a thousand years ago!" Luo Li was holding a deer leg and eating with relish, and made his own inarticulate remarks while eating, saying that he couldn't figure out why these two people came together, one was cold and the other was fire, which should have been incompatible, but it didn't seem to be like this.
The two of them are always able to skillfully blend ice and fire together, which makes people not amazed! Roasting a deer can have a clear division of labor, and most importantly, the appearance of the two of them has really not changed compared to thousands of years ago! Sitting down thoughtfully while leaning against the pine tree, Luo Li raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Oh? Hasn't it changed? Then tell me, what were the two of us in our previous lives......" He turned his head to look at Luo Li, but he couldn't say anything anymore after he finished speaking, Yuan Sai stared at Luo Li's back with wide eyes, and couldn't hide his shock, only to see that the trunk of the pine tree began to rotate inexplicably, and even Luo Li, who was leaning on the trunk, was moved.
Is this possible? It's an old pine tree that's about 1,000 years old! Even if it was transplanted here, it had already grown into deep roots, so how could it spin now? Obviously, Yuan Sai only said half of what he said, and the movement behind him pulled the eyes of Mu Yue and Zhou Lu together, and they seemed to be a little shocked.
The venison in his hand was thrown away, and Yuan Sai walked quickly to Luo Li, who was still unaware of what he was doing, and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "What did you do?" "They were all eating, and no one had touched the tree, only her brother leaning against the trunk, so it was not difficult to be sure that he must have done something to get the tree to be the way it is.
Luo Li was pulled up inexplicably, still a little puzzled, followed his sister's gaze and looked behind him, and was surprised to see that the tree was slowly spinning, and suddenly didn't know what to say, and looked at Yuan Sai: "Sister, sister, I didn't do anything!" This! How could this be ......"
The eyes of the four people were attracted to the past, but the pine tree rotated very slowly, and it could only be seen that it was rotating, and the huge crown of the tree slowly shook with the green of the pine tree, and stared intently for a long time, before the pine tree stopped, revealing its hidden secret, and saw that there was a circular hole in the trunk of the tree that should have been facing the mountain wall.
And the center of the hole is a huge night pearl, especially at the moment of the sunset, the night pearl is particularly beautiful, not very dazzling light, some dense aperture, a touch of light green will illuminate the small tree hole, several people look at each other, and finally Zhou Lu has the courage to come forward to watch the night pearl.
"Could this be the mechanism you're looking for?" Mu Yue looked at Zhou Lu's cautious appearance, and was also a little serious, and unconsciously asked in a voice, could it be the organ he was looking for? The royal mausoleum is just such a rudimentary institution? Like words? Just a pearl of the night?
Zhou Lu turned his head and looked at the three people on the other side who had been staring at him: "It's very likely that this is the mechanism of the entrance, but how to open it, I really haven't heard of it!" "He's been fortunate enough to see a lot of mechanisms, but he's really never heard of this night pearl, how can he open the mechanism of this night pearl?
He didn't dare to make a move, and the three of them didn't know anything about things, and for a while, the four of them were still in the night wind, and no one knew what to do! After a long time, Mu Yue hesitated a little: "Can you try to turn this night pearl?" "It's not a big hope, but that's all it takes, isn't it? Give it a try.
Hearing this, he hesitated slightly, but in the face of the obviously threatening gaze of Yuan Xi, a drop of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Lu's forehead, and he stepped forward hesitantly, his fingers trembled and he didn't dare to touch the night pearl, no one knew if there was any anti-theft ambush on the night pearl, and finally put his hand on the night pearl with his eyes closed.
Settle in ...... There was only the wind whistling, not any other sound, and the expected ambush did not exist at all, everything was still the same as before! Mu Ran opened his eyes, Zhou Lu frowned and tried to twist the pearl of the night, but it didn't move, the bead seemed to be embedded in it, no matter how hard Zhou Lu rotated, it didn't move.
The hope in his eyes finally turned into a thick helplessness, and the Yuan Priest sat back on the ground with some depression, his long hair like a waterfall, scattered on the ground! Mu Yue knew that she was in a hurry, but there was no way now, right, so she walked to the side of Yuan Xi and sat down, gently hugging her shoulder: "Don't worry, there will always be a way!" ”
Now that this mechanism has been revealed, the way to open it will be found sooner or later! For a while, Mu Yue and Yuan Xi sat quietly on the ground of the dry grass, Luo Li sighed and continued to gnaw on the uneaten deer leg in his hand, but Zhou Lu was staring at the pearl of the night and pondering!
The sun finally set from the sky, and the last warm light dissipated, and in the night was an oppressive dark blue, overwhelmingly crushing the whole continent! This deep blue color is pervasive, and it can be found everywhere! And in such a night, the four of them were still at a loss for what to do with the mechanism.
The sky finally got completely dark, and Yuan Sai stood up violently: "Forget it, since you can't find it, don't look for it, let's talk about it tomorrow at dawn!" "They have spent a whole day beside this tree, but there is still no way to enter the imperial tomb, and they have not been able to find a way during the day, but they can find it in the darkness where they can't see their fingers? Isn't it ridiculous?
Hearing his sister's words, Luo Li frowned: "What kind of trick is the previous emperor of Beiyue doing, there is still a mechanism at the entrance of a tomb!" His words were quite meant to appease the Yuan Sacrifice, but the Yuan Sacrifice was not in the mood to talk! With a wave of his hand, he was about to step in, but suddenly he heard the sound of the stone moving, mixed with the exclamation of this week.
"Door master, look!"
Suddenly turned around, but found that the surroundings were no longer the kind of darkness that could not be seen, I don't know when it began, the moon was exposed, and sprinkled with light, the moonlight shone on the pearl of the night, and the light was instantly refracted to the stone wall behind, that is, this light made the stone wall gradually reveal the gap, just a moment of effort, a door that is not wide
It was shown in front of four people.
Moonlight? Could it be that this mechanism was originally to be opened by the light of the moon? I have to say that the person who designed this mechanism in the first place was really a genius! The moon was obscured by clouds before, so this mechanism can't be opened? Walking quickly towards the pine tree, Mu Yue's fingers stroked the night pearl and observed carefully: "This is not the night pearl!" ”
Yuan Sacrifice breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to remove the portal and walked towards the entrance of the Imperial Tomb, and dropped a sentence without looking back: "It doesn't matter if it's the Night Pearl or not, I just need to know that the entrance has been found, and that's enough!" ”
Stunned, seeing Luo Li's playful gaze on the side, Mu Yue finally followed with a wry smile, Yuan Sai is really an anxious child! When the four of them walked into the imperial mausoleum, it was endless darkness inside, and the stone door closed quickly after the four of them walked in, so it was really dark at this time, and even the people around them couldn't see it.
Standing still, the Yuan Priest summoned the crystal staff and walked ahead with the light of the crystal staff! There are stone caves within 100 meters, and then the stone caves come to an end but they are completely changed! The roads inside are all paved with jade, white and clean, and even the surrounding walls are all made of jade, and the four of them can't help but be stunned! Is this just the entrance to the imperial tomb so extravagant?
The world says, "Gold has a price, and jade is priceless!" "But now this jade, which the world calls priceless, is only used as a brick to pave the ground and build a wall? The Yuan Festival now understands a little, and understands why the entrance mechanism of the Imperial Tomb has to be so weird! If you want to steal property and enter the imperial tomb, you can make a windfall just by relying on these jades, not to mention the property inside!
With a sneer, Yuan Sai was just about to couch on the jade paved road in front of him, but he was pulled by Mu Yue on the side, took Yuan Sai's hand, and put the crystal staff close to the road, and found a lot of clear dirt footprints!!
Footprints? Yuan Sai turned his head to look at Mu Yue in some shock: "Footprints? How can there be footprints here? "The mechanism of this imperial tomb is so hidden, there are people besides them who have come in?
Staring at these footprints, Zhou Lu frowned and squatted down, his fingers pinched the soil on the jade, and after a while, his face became even heavier: "Door master, the soil and moisture of these footprints have not dried up yet, I'm afraid these people didn't come in before, but these days!" "He was shocked! This is the Beiyue Emperor's Mausoleum, not to mention that it is difficult to find at all, but the mechanism at the entrance outside is strange and extraordinary.
Can anyone still come in? Moreover, these people don't seem to be the ones who are greedy for money, they don't seem to be here for money! Rather—maybe like the Enmbals, they're looking for something! Otherwise, these jade bricks will not be intact, and a lot of them will be left here!
