Chapter 105: Solving the Puzzle
As soon as Bai Lilan said a few words, Nangong Jingchen suddenly pounced, hugged her tightly, and rolled on the ground a few times, dodging the dozens of arrow feathers that were shot.
The two of them lay on the ground, looking at the extra arrow feathers where they were standing just now, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of Ling Ran.
"Lan'er, there is a mechanism here, let's be careful!" Half-embracing Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen looked around vigilantly, "Let's try to follow the footsteps of the incoming and then exit." ”
"It's just a mechanism, you don't have to be so nervous," Bai Lilan didn't take this to heart, and said, "There are no people who died from injuries here, so it can be seen that the mechanism here is not powerful, and I have also broken through the secret room of the Tang Sect, what is famous all over the world, it is not Er'er." Depending on the strength of you and me, you can join forces to break out. After saying that, Baili Lan stood up, and Meimu looked around, without fear.
Raising her footsteps, Baili Lan slowly walked forward, surveying the surrounding situation.
Standing up from the ground, Nangong Jingchen suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, he grabbed Baili Lan's arm and said, "Lan'er, let's get out of here." It's a strange place, and it's just you and me, so it's not a good place to take risks. When we're ready for everything, shall we come back here? ”
"Since we're here, why don't we study it and go?" When I walked to the place where I had just touched the mechanism, I saw a ring on the ground, and I thought that I had touched the mechanism here when I picked up the jewel. Sneering, Bai Lilan said, "Hmph, no matter how many treasures you get, it's just a tomb, and the people who built this secret room in the first place really took great pains!" ”
"Lan'er, do you mean that the master here uses the treasure as bait to kill the intruders?" Nangong Jingchen looked around and said, "But I didn't see any dead bodies here." ”
"Have you forgotten, every once in a while, a painter will come in here, and it is not difficult to clean up the inside."
Nodding thoughtfully, Nangong Jingchen asked suspiciously, "But since your father knows that the treasure is here and has passed the map to you, why do you still have to set up these mechanisms?" What if I accidentally hurt you? ”
"Just because I got the map doesn't mean I'll be able to find it." Looking at Nangong Jingchen, Baili Lan said, "If outsiders take the lead, everything prepared by the ancestors will come to naught." As future generations, if we do not have the capacity to meet these challenges, it will not be enough to protect these wealth. So I think the ancestors wanted to use this as a test. ”
"In that case...... Nangong Jingchen looked around and said, "Lan'er, let's be here right away." It's too dangerous here, I don't want you to take it! ”
"But don't you wonder what's hidden beneath these treasures?" Bai Lilan raised her eyebrows and said, "Hiding it so preciously must be something very important, maybe it will be very helpful to us." Nangong Jingchen, aren't you curious? ”
"What's so curious about these things, it's just more rare treasures," Nangong Jingchen's uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, he grabbed Baili Lan's hand, looked at her with straight eyes and said, "If I hurt you, I will be sad." ”
Nangong Jingchen's dodge aroused Baili Lan's desire to explore, and the moment she turned around, she looked at the strange light again. For some reason, Baili Lan's heart seemed to be enchanted, wondering what was hidden there.
Just take a look at it, see what danger it can be? It is certainly not difficult to resolve these crises with your own skills.
A small voice said this in the bottom of his heart, so that Bai Lilan's gaze couldn't be taken off at all.
"Lan'er, hurry up......"
Sou
Nangong Jingchen held Baili Lan's arm, and just as he wanted to continue to persuade her, he felt another sharp arrow shoot out behind him, and hurriedly protected Bai Lilan and dodged away.
Looking at the direction where the sharp arrow flew over, Nangong Jingchen frowned and said, "What's the matter, is there another mechanism here?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as we thought." Bai Lilan realized the danger around her now, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Let's take a look in the direction of the exit, I'm afraid there is also a situation there." ”
Nangong Jingchen nodded, then took Baili Lan and turned back cautiously.
When the two of them walked to the place where the mural had just been installed, Nangong Jingchen was stunned to find that the stone slab in front of him had fallen again for some reason, and it could not be shaken no matter how much it was moved. Turning to look at Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen asked, "Do you still have fire and thunder bombs on you?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Lilan shook her head and said, "The one I just used up is the last one." ”
"How can this be......" Nangong Jingchen frowned, and his palms kept clenching.
Raising her eyes and looking around, Bai Lilan suddenly found that the totem portrait that was still on the wall just now had disappeared, but the last one was still in sight. Stretching out her finger, Baili Lan pointed to the painting, and there was disbelief in her voice.
"Nangong Jingchen, look, why have all the other pictures disappeared, only this one is still here?"
Touching the place where the picture disappeared, Nangong Jingchen's expression could not hide his surprise. Turning around and looking at Baili Lan, Nangong Jingchen said, "It seems that we still fall into the full set of our ancestors." Let's go back and see if there are any clues. ”
"So far, that's all it can be."
The two of them returned to the Treasure Pavilion and looked around, looking for clues while being careful not to touch the mechanism.
Sighing in annoyance, Nangong Jingchen said: "Such a big stone, it can't fall like a feather, but I didn't hear any movement just now, it's really an evil sect." ”
Holding her jaw with her fingers, Bai Lilan said, "I think the crux of all the problems is the arrow that was shot inexplicably just now. It acts as a command, keeping the stone door shut, trapping us here. The arm suddenly drooped, and Bai Lilan stared at the treasure that emitted a strange light, with an inexplicable persistence in her eyes, "Perhaps, the way to unlock the mechanism is among the many gems." Nangong Jingchen, do you dare to gamble? ”
Nangong Jingchen saw Baili Lan's gaze, his eyes couldn't help but be full of worry, and said: "Lan'er, leave this dangerous matter to me, you go back and dodge, don't hurt you." ”
Slowly pulling out the soft sword she was carrying, Bai Lilan said fearlessly: "We have come to this point, are you still afraid that you will not be able to affect me?" It's crooked, it's the right thing to open the stone door as soon as possible, and the other mysteries can only be solved little by little in the future. As she spoke, Bai Lilan picked up a few strings of pearl necklaces with the tip of her sword, and her every movement was cautious, but there was no reaction from the surroundings.
Looking at Baili Lan's movements, Nangong Jingchen had no choice but to accept this method. It's just that when looking for the switch, Nangong Jingchen still has to devote half of his energy to protect Baili Lan, for fear that she will be harmed.
Suddenly, dense arrow feathers shot out from the walls on both sides, mercilessly shooting towards Nangong Jingchen and Baili Lan. Baili Lan immediately swung the arrows left and right with her sword, while Nangong Jingchen stood behind her, protecting Bai Lilan's safety with all her might. Gradually, the offensive slowed down, and both of them thought that this round of attacks had passed, but they didn't want to continue to shoot a row of long arrows from the roof of the secret room at the last moment!
"Lan'er be careful!" Nangong Jingchen immediately hugged Baili Lan and fell to the other side.
Slammed his shoulder against the wall, Bai Lilan's face turned pale, and then he frowned and looked at the place just now, the ground was already full of long arrows, the scene was terrifying, and he didn't dare to imagine how miserable he would die if he didn't have time to dodge.
With a gentle sigh, Baili Lan held Nangong Jingchen's shoulder and said, "It was really dangerous just now, I really underestimated here." After saying that, Baili Lan stood up and continued to check. But after walking a distance, Bai Lilan found that there was no one around her, so she turned around and looked at Nangong Jingchen and asked, "Why are you still sitting on the ground?" ”
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, Nangong Jingchen lowered his eyes and said, "I'm a little tired." Lan'er, shall we take a break? ”
"Tired?" Bai Lilan walked quickly to Nangong Jingchen's side, frowned, looked at the man opposite with a scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly turned him over, only to find that there was a long arrow stuck in Nangong Jingchen's back!
"You...... Are you a fool, how can you be shot by an arrow! Bai Lilan's eyes widened and she shouted loudly, while flipping the golden pill on her body. Before she knew that it was time, there was a slight tremor between Baili Lan's behavior.
Looking at Baili Lan's anxious expression, Nangong Jingchen grinned at the corners of his lips and said, "Lan'er, are you worried about me now?" ”
"You're less stinky and beautiful, who would worry about you, I'm laughing at you!" Although the tone was vicious, Bai Lilan's hand had already torn the clothes from Nangong Jingchen's wound, held the exposed arrow body with one hand, and said, "Who asked you to protect me, don't you know that I have soft armor on my body, these things can't hurt me at all, it's good if you protect yourself!" ”
"I ...... Ah," Nangong Jingchen didn't prepare at all, and Baili Lan pulled out the arrow, which made Nangong Jingchen tremble all over, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Sprinkled medicinal powder on the wound, and then tore off a piece of clothing from himself to bandage the wound, Baili Lan said angrily: "I don't know, I thought I was poor in martial arts, so even if you think about my reputation in the future, please be cautious." ”
Actually, Bai Lilan wanted to say something about Nangong Jingchen, but when these words came to her mouth, Bai Lilan unconsciously said those harsh sarcasm, and when she held Nangong Jingchen's shoulder, she looked a little annoyed.
But Nangong Jingchen didn't see this, he only felt that the strength in his body was gradually disappearing, and in the end, he fell to the ground weakly.
"Nangong Jingchen?" Bai Lilan was stunned by this situation, and then helped Nangong Jingchen up, and saw that his handsome face was full of gray colors, "What...... How so? Bai Lilan muttered in disbelief, then her eyes widened, and she said, "Could it be that this arrow is poisonous!?" ”
The palm of his hand was slowly raised, Nangong Jingchen used all his strength to grab Baili Lan's hand, he looked at Baili Lan with wide eyes, and said in a weak tone: "Lan'er, I don't know if I can leave here today, don't you want to tell me your identity?" ”
