Chapter 55

Congsi and Qin Yueqing carefully counted the stone lions and everlasting lamps in front of them, a total of ninety-nine stone lions and ninety-eight everlasting lanterns.

They turned around and called for Di and Mu Wei.

"I found a pattern, these stone lions in the mouth of the stone balls, respectively, in the order of the inside of the mouth, left, middle and right, so that can be pushed out, each different position of the stone lions there are thirty-three."

"And the smell of some ever-bright lamps is different from those filled with mermaid oil, they have a faint sweetness."

"Just now, Yueqing and I sniffed it carefully, and there are a total of fifteen of them that exude fragrance."

"These two things don't come together, but they don't come up with anything."

Hearing this, Xun Di and Mu Wei also looked at the stone lion in front of them carefully.

I saw that the stone lion in front of me was strong and vigorous, powerful and extraordinary.

Its lion head is adorned with a mane, the neck hangs with a bell, the right foot is stepping on a large ingot, and the legs are lying on both sides of the buttocks, which looks natural and mighty as a whole.

Mu Wei stepped forward and reached into the mouth of the stone lion, which was a groping.

Soon, he continued to grope for the stone lions arranged behind him.

Finally, after groping for the seventh stone lion, he turned around with a somewhat strange expression.

"All the stone lions with the stone ball on the left side of the mouth have words engraved on the back of the stone ball, according to the inspection I just checked, I must be able to get clues in the mouths of the thirty-three stone lions."

Hearing this, Xun Di hurriedly stepped forward and learned Mu Wei's actions just now.

After a while, I saw some excitement on his face.

"Brother Mu is right, it seems that we have to take a look."

Hearing this, Congsi and Qin Yueqing were also happy.

Congsi hurriedly took out white paper and charcoal from the box behind her, she was responsible for recording, and Mu Wei was responsible for looking at the words behind the stone ball.

Xun Di and Qin Yueqing on the side also worked together, and for a while, the four of them began to get busy.

After a stick of incense, they finally recorded the words.

I saw that the words on the two pieces of paper were finally not two thousand years old, but an official document of the previous dynasty, which several people could understand.

After a while, the crowd pieced together the words and read them.

It turned out that the stone beads in the mouth of the stone lion talked about the origin of the special lamp oil of the ever-bright lamp.

The scented lamp oil is taken from the long-extinct rich insects.

Rich insects grow in places with excellent environments, rarely appear, and when they appear, they will fly in groups.

The most peculiar thing is that the head of the rich insect is round and large, and the head integrates feeding, digestion and excretion, while the huge abdomen is full of transparent oil, and the tail is the place where eggs are laid and conceived.

Before it became extinct, people specially caught the rich insects, extracted their belly fat, and purified them and offered them to the nobles of the palace.

Before refining, the oil in the body of the rich insect was originally tasteless, but after refining, it will always emit a faint sweet smell, which can not be dispersed for hundreds of years.

Moreover, because of its low ignition point, the use time is longer than that of shark oil, so in the past, some royal tombs and underground palaces began to use this kind of grease as lamp oil for ever-bright lamps.

Everyone looked at the recorded text and frowned.

"How can you still do this way of flying the rich worm? What often circles around mid-air left and right twice!? "Searching for the road.

Hearing this, the rest of the people were also very puzzled.

Originally, I thought that the text behind the stone beads recorded the method of unlocking, but who knew that it was actually talking about the lamp oil.

Everyone frowned.

After thinking for a while, Congsi said: "If you just briefly explain the origin of those lamp oils, it is a little strange. ”

"We solved a lot of tricks in the dungeon, and by feeling, I think it's probably related to the method of unlocking."

Hearing this, Mu Wei also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if you only talk about the lamp oil, I don't think it's necessary." ”

He continued: "Let's go, let's go and see. ”

After hearing this, the rest of the people felt justified, although they were forced to do so.

After all, there has to be some hope in everything, otherwise we don't know how to continue.

……

So, four people, two men and two women, looked at the lanterns placed among the stone lions.

I saw these ever-bright lamps in front of me, the base is connected to the cylindrical knots, and above the knots, there is a double-layer structure, and the inner layer is full of lamp oil.

At the top of the lantern is a copper lotus flower that has not fully bloomed.

Under the bright candle light, the whole exterior is painted brass ever-bright lamp, which is even more sacred and noble.

Because there are a total of fifteen everlasting lanterns that can emit fragrance, everyone compared them with the rest of the everlasting lanterns one by one, but they still can't get any results.

At this time, the discouragement on everyone's faces was even more obvious.

"The lock over there hasn't been unlocked yet, and now there's another lamp oil to disturb people's minds, which is really painful." Xun Di kicked the stone lion in front of him.

Seeing this, Qin Yueqing comforted: "Don't be too anxious, if you really can't find a clue, let's just not go in." ”

Xun Di said: "But we haven't really found out the secrets and plans of the previous dynasty to vent the remnants of the ......."

Congsi pursed his lips: "If it doesn't work, you really have to remove the door lock by force." ”

"We don't know what the danger will be......"

Before she finished speaking, Congsi sighed.

She took two deep breaths and stared at an everlasting lamp in front of her in a daze, trying to relate to what Shi Zhu had mentioned.

On the side, Mu Wei saw her sad face, and in order to relieve the pain in her heart, she took out a pot of water from behind.

He handed it to Congsi: "Let's drink saliva first, if you are too anxious, you will mess up your thinking." ”

Hearing this, Congsi reached out and took the water.

I saw the kettle given by Mu Wei, I don't know what kind of wood it was made of, but the surface was smooth, and the smell was relatively fresh.

Unlike the usual kettle, to open his kettle, instead of pulling the lid open, slowly rotate and unscrew it.

When I take a sip of water from the silk, the crisp taste comes to my nose, with the freshness of wood.

She raised her eyebrows: "I didn't expect this water to taste good, and the way it opens is different." ”

Mu Wei responded with a smile: "This is made of slippery fragrant wood, which can bring its own flavor, and can absorb impurities and make the water quality better." ”

"The reason why it is rotated and unscrewed is because it is too slippery, and it is easy to leak water if it is plugged directly with a stopper, so I carved a thread on the mouth of the bottle and unscrewed it directly."

Hearing this, Congsi exclaimed: "This method is good!" ”

After saying that, somehow, something flashed through her mind.

The next moment, she stood up and walked straight towards the two lanterns.

I saw her half-squatting, groping and comparing for a while, and finally her hands stayed on the cylindrical lamp body segments.

Then, with the force of her hand, she twisted the lamp body.

Seeing this, everyone was surprised and stepped forward one after another.

Xun Di was puzzled: "Senior sister, ...... are you?" ”

Congsi responded: "Just now I wondered why they said that when the rich insect flies, it will frequently circle around the left and right, but now I kind of understand it." ”

"You see, this scented one can be reversed, but this one can't, does this mean that as long as the lamp body is twisted, some mechanisms can be turned on and we can get what we want!?"

Hearing this, everyone was very surprised and surprised.

"Little witch, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! Hurry, hurry! Try it again! ”

So, then, according to the way that the rich insect circled, the lamp body was circled twice from the left and right.

At the end of the last lap, suddenly, the lotus flower at the top, which had not fully bloomed, all opened.

I saw that on the inner petals that had just bloomed, there was obviously a piece of text engraved on it.

And the words, Mu only has the impression that they are the ancient words on those metal blocks.

Upon discovering this, several people were very happy, and they were motivated for a while, and they twisted away the other fragrant ever-bright lamps one after another.

Eventually, on the petals of the fifteen lanterns, they collected all the words.

Then, several people took the recorded words, compared them one by one, and slowly moved the corresponding metal blocks to the lock core.

As the last piece of metal was moved, the sound of rotating metal began to sound.

"Click!" A crisp voice came.

Everyone looked happy, and they worked together to push open the huge palace door in front of them.
