220. Half a candle in the tomb
Seeing this, Shen Yu hurriedly took back the [Phoenix Nirvana] card, and held it in his arms to gently soothe the restless injured soul of the firebird.
It's just that... If even the [Phoenix Nirvana] couldn't open this bronze gate, wouldn't they have come in vain this time?
The atmosphere was falling into an awkward silence, and Su Kexin, who was following behind Shen Yu, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Or... Let me try? I have an ability that I can also use to open doors. β
"You? You're just an actor, singing and dancing at most, and you can open the door? β
Facing Shen Yu's question, Su Kexin straightened his chest and said: "Don't underestimate me~ As an actor, I must know a lot~!" Come, let you see and see~~ Reinforcement card...γActorγ...! β
Su Kexin said that he had already manifested his own sequence cards, turning into a little starlight and integrating into his body.
At this moment, even without Shen Yu's firebird providing her with temperature, she didn't seem to feel so cold.
"Item card...[Soul Microphone]...!"
After the [actor] card possessed, the big star summoned the microphone that looked like a bone joint, cleared his throat and began to sing into the microphone.
What made Shen Yu feel a little speechless was that although her tune was tactful and long, it was reassuring, but the content of the lyrics was a bit ridiculous.
She actually sang "Ali Baba Sesame Open Door"....
Yes, the content of Su Kexin's lyrics is related to opening the door, as if she wants to hypnotize this bronze door with her singing voice and let it open on its own.
At the moment when Shen Yujue's big star was about to die, something magical happened.
The bronze gate, which seemed to have been frozen for 10,000 years, suddenly sounded with a tooth-aching sound.
As the door shook, the ice crystals on its surface began to crack. Soon, the cracks crawled all over the ice like spider webs, and all of them shattered and scattered into the ground with a "pop".
The ice crystals in the crack of the bronze gate all shattered and fell, making the folding door seem to have its own life, and it was impatient to open itself and welcome the big star in front of it.
Su Kexin didn't expect her trick to be really effective, so she sang a little harder at the moment.
The song echoed through the ice crystal crypt, as if it had become the lubricant for the door, opening faster and smoother.
"Bang", in Su Kexin's singing, this bronze door that seemed to have not been opened for a long time was completely open.
Professor Shen raised his hand and reminded, "Don't go in yet, if no one has entered this tomb for many years, the air inside may kill us." β
He raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, peered in, and then flipped his wrist and threw a card that emitted white light into the deep darkness.
"Auxiliary card, [Purification]...!"
Professor Shen threw out a one-time card of the support class. This card has a relatively wide range of uses, and its main purpose is to remove curses, toxins, traps, etc.
When this [Purification] card flew into the deep interior of the tomb, it instantly burst into a dazzling white light.
Professor Shen and Shen Yu wisely turned around and didn't look at the white light, only Su Kexin was still staring stupidly inside, and after a while, his eyes were pierced by the white light and he hurriedly closed it.
The purification process in the depths of the tomb lasted for about two minutes, and the white light emitted by the [Purification] card became fainter and fainter, until it finally became like an escape light.
Professor Shen put down the hand covering his mouth and nose, sniffed it in the air, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Good job, big star, we can go in." β
Su Kexin, who was still rubbing his eyes, was praised by the old professor, and he was immediately proud in his heart, and looked at Shen Yu with the corners of his mouth curled. She also wanted to be complimented by the latter.
But Shen Yu didn't seem to see her, so that the firebird that had reverted back to the state of a bird squatted on top of his head again, and walked in.
"Hey~ You wait for me~ I don't know how to praise and praise people~!"
Su Kexin said as he hurriedly followed, still reaching out and grabbing the corner of Shen Yu's clothes, for fear of being separated from the latter.
After entering the core of the tomb, the three of them were able to barely see the scene inside the bronze gate by relying on the faint light left by the auxiliary purification card.
It was surrounded by walls on all sides, and the crevices were covered with ice crystals that had been around for an unknown amount of time.
And on the walls covered by thin layers of ice crystals, there are extremely ancient and vivid murals!
As an authority in the archaeological field of the Xia Kingdom, Professor Shen Lao was attracted by this exquisite mural at a glance.
He leaned over the wall, covered with thin ice crystals, and hurriedly took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket, put them on, and began to study them carefully. For a moment, they forgot the true purpose of their trip.
As for Shen Yu, he focused his attention on the ice crystal coffin in the center of the deepest part of this tomb.
Yes, at the bottom of the center of the tomb, there is a coffin of ice crystals half-embedded in the ground.
The coffin seemed to be made up entirely of hard ice, with sharp edges and exuding a chill.
He reached out to touch the ice crystal coffin, but the firebird above his head rattled. It seemed to dislike the coffin so much that it refused to come closer.
After a while, he turned into a card and reintegrated into Shen Yu's body.
As a fire-based taboo card, Shen Yu was not surprised by the rejection of this ice crystal coffin.
He reached out again and tried to touch the coffin, only to find that even the proximity had made his fingers freeze, and if he forced contact, he feared that his fingers would die directly from the freezing.
Retracting his hand, Shen Yu circled around the ice crystal coffin, and did not find any mechanism or chain that sealed it.
Could it be that the coffin itself was used to seal cards? After all, although it resembles a coffin, there is no difference between the coffin lid and the coffin body, but a whole.
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from Professor Shen's side.
"Oops... Such a beautiful mural... It's still so well preserved... Miracle, this is really a miracle~! This discovery is certainly enough to rewrite the content of the Xia Kingdom archaeology textbook!
"Come on my good student! This mural shows when and why the tomb was built. You see, the people on the frescoes seem to be building a mausoleum! According to their costumes and shapes, it should be the legendary emperor 1,500 years ago! β
Professor Shen took advantage of the light of the purification card to point to a certain place in the mural, and began to teach Shen Yu on the spot. This is also one of the great features of his teaching.
Professor Shen pointed to the murals, and the information revealed from them explained to Shen Yu various customs and customs at that time, as if the two of them were instantly transported to the world more than a thousand years ago, as if they were there.
While the pair of teachers and students were immersed in the huge amount of information brought by the murals, Su Kexin was not interested in what they said. Her attention was focused on the pile of burial things in the center of the tomb.
Yes, next to the coffin there are many sacrificial candlesticks, clay pots, carved stone tablets and other items.
However, Su Kexin was not interested in anything else, except for the small half of the candle on the candlestick that had not yet burned out.
The half of the candle seemed to contain some kind of magic, which made Su Kexin unable to leave his eyes.
She drew closer and closer, and at last the god reached out and pulled the candle off the candlestick.
Holding the candle in the palm of her hand, the more the girl looks at it, the more she likes it~! She couldn't figure it out herself, it was just a candle that didn't burn out, so why was she so interested?
Suddenly, Su Kexin was surprised to find that the candle began to melt inch by inch in her palm, becoming smaller and smaller!
This change immediately made her panic, and she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Professor! Shen Yu! Come and see, this half candle..."
She was just halfway through her sentence when she suddenly paused. Because when she turned her head to look behind her, where were the figures of Professor Shen and Shen Yu?
In the entire ice crystal tomb, only the coffin that exuded a cold and cold air lay quietly.
"Shen Yue? Professor Shen? Where are you? Don't scare me~~ This joke can't be made~! Shen Yu, come out quickly~~ Do you hate me so much? Deliberately locked me up here alone... I'll be scared! β
Su Kexin shouted and shouted, and even cried. But she was desperate to find that she seemed to be really separated from Shen Yu and Professor Shen.
The two of them didn't leave her here on purpose, could it be that the change had something to do with the candle in her palm?
Su Kexin, who was about to cry, hurriedly cast his gaze to the candle with the melting palm of his hand.
But at this time, she found that although the melted candle had disappeared, it revealed another prop hidden in the candle.
Yes, it wasn't until this moment that Su Kexin was sure that it wasn't half a candle that attracted her, but was sealed in the sound of the candle.... This ring!
