Chapter 115: Secret Stone
The white smoke gradually dissipated, and everyone who was still in place finally saw Ying Zheng and Li Si clearly, and they all rushed over eagerly.
"Your Majesty!" Jing Fan was the first to come to Ying Zheng's side and asked, "Are you all right?" ”
"It's fine." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The danger has been lifted, everyone can rest assured." ”
"Your hand, king." Tian Yi saw that there were blood stains on Ying Zheng's fingers, and hurriedly found a ribbon in the package to bandage Ying Zheng.
"No bandage, no more blood." Ying Zheng raised his finger and shook it, "What's more, maybe I'll need it for a while, and it's inconvenient to bandage it." ”
Everyone's faces were full of doubts, and they couldn't figure out what Yingzheng's words meant.
Li Si changed the topic and said, "The white smoke just now is the antidote to the green smoke, so the poisonous gas that everyone just now has been removed. ”
When the elites of the Jingjia class heard Li Si's words, they were completely relieved.
Thanks to the fact that these people are all craftsmen of Jingyao, they are used to seeing many incredible things, and they are naturally much more courageous than ordinary people.
"Look, the stone door is open." Someone in the crowd shouted.
Tian Yi stepped forward and wanted to open and push the stone gate.
Jing Fan grabbed Tian Yi and said, "Wait a minute, maybe there is something else, the cry similar to a woman just now has not yet figured out what is going on." ”
Thinking of the terrible cry just now, everyone's scalps were numb again.
"Sir, was that crying just now? ......" Ying Zheng asked everyone's doubts.
Could it be what? Ghost?
Li Si shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Where did the ghost come from, I think everyone has also seen it, this is actually a mechanism, if the smoke wants to be sprayed out, there must be a breath to blow, and the mechanism that produces this kind of breath inside is bound to produce this kind of sound, but we scare ourselves and imagine that sound as a woman's cry." ”
"I see." Chief Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Everyone sighed like Yingzheng, and then put their hearts into their stomachs.
"Since there are no female ghosts, let's go in." Tian Yi said.
"Wait." Li Si walked to the door, pointed to the hole under the copper ring, and said, "Although the stone gate has been opened, it can be pushed by non-human beings, and the king needs to use the dark iron snail again, and the stone gate will open automatically." ”
"Okay." Ying Zheng took out the dark iron snail again, put it into the hole, and turned twice in the opposite direction according to Li Si's guidance.
It can be seen that the security measures of the fourth layer are much stronger than the first three layers, so it is no wonder that the first three layers are just a place to kill thieves.
Ga...... Chirping......
The stone gate slowly turned.
Ying Zheng subconsciously took a few steps back, for fear that something would suddenly fly out of it.
Jing Fan and Tian Yi walked quickly to Ying Zheng's body and protected Ying Zheng.
The door was fully opened, and the blue firelight reflected in it, but it was as if it had been swallowed up, and there was no trace of what was inside.
This strange scene made everyone's hearts hang again.
Jing Fan, who was standing at the door, strengthened his courage, looked inside the threshold, raised one foot, and stepped in gently.
Along with this foot, there was also the torch in Jing Fan's hand.
The moment he entered the stone gate, the blue torches jumped violently, as if he was struggling in pain.
Jing Fan was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew the foot and put the torch back.
Strange to say, after the torch was withdrawn, the beating stopped, as if the flame was freed from the pain, and the heart was one
Laugh.
"Don't go in yet." Lees walked to the door and said, "Let's stand in front of the door and put all the torches into the stone door." ”
Everyone was convinced of Li Si's words, and immediately crowded in front of the door, stretching the torch in his hand into the door.
More than a dozen torches danced violently at the moment they entered the stone gate, as if they were participating in a grand dance together.
Fortunately, these craftsmen are bold, otherwise this strange scene will be presented in front of them, and most of them will throw away the torches they are holding.
Gradually, the beating of some of the flames softened, or the flames elongated, or shook like water waves.
As a result, the color of some of the flames gradually became lighter, gradually changing from blue to pale blue, and little by little to white.
The situation became more and more strange, and the hands of some craftsmen trembled with the flames.
"Don't panic, it should be soon." Li Si said in a deep voice.
The craftsmen whose hands were shaking stabilized their minds and used their other hands to hold their trembling hands.
All the flames finally turned pure white, and they all basically stopped beating and became peaceful.
Everyone looked at the white flames in front of them and was stunned.
The white flames, as if they had burned out all the darkness and sin, became extremely holy in peace, as if a dozen saints in white were smiling happily at everyone.
At this moment, the space inside the stone door gradually brightened, and it seemed that these white flames had awakened a whole new world, and little by little they were expelling the darkness.
Li Si raised his feet and stepped into the stone gate and said, "You can come in." ”
Only then did everyone come back to their senses from their trance, their eyes moved from the white flames to their feet, and followed Li Si into the stone gate.
The space inside the stone gate is getting brighter and brighter.
Everyone found that inside the stone gate was exactly the same as outside the stone gate, but the difference was that on the innermost wall, there were two smaller single-leaf stone doors lined up on the left and right.
"You can put out the torch." With that, Lees extinguished his torch.
"Sir, the torches are extinguished, but nothing can be seen again." Tian Yi said.
"See, go out." Li Si said with certainty.
Ying Zheng of course believed what Li Si said, and took the lead in extinguishing the torch.
As soon as everyone saw that King Qin had done this, they all extinguished the torches.
Strangely, the stone house was not plunged into darkness, but was as bright as it had just been.
"This ......" Jing Fan only said one word, and then he was stuck.
It's weird, isn't it?
Li Si smiled and said, "Why this is so, I can't say clearly. However, when we put the torch into this stone gate just now, didn't we see anything other than the flames, because the walls around it absorbed the light, and it would emit light itself, so it would not be a waste to light this torch again, not to mention, these torches would not have any lighting effect. ”
In other words, this house is not lit by white torches.
Jing Fan's mouth opened wide, but he was still speechless.
Ying Zheng also gasped, quite surprised.
This is too unbelievable, there is no need to light the lights in the stone house, the walls will glow.
Leos leaned down and touched the stone bricks on the ground with his hands.
"Except for the color, the bricks seem to be the same as those in the corridor outside." Lees muttered to himself.
Ying Zheng came back to his senses first, walked in front of Li Si, and also squatted down to look at the magical ground.
Indeed, the square bricks on the ground seem to be the same as those outside the stone gate, but you can't see that the stone bricks are glowing, just
The color is just different from the outside.
Ying Zheng stood up, looked at the two stone doors inside, and said, "Don't dwell on this for the time being, it seems that we have to move forward." ”
Jing Fan pushed his mouth back with his hand and nodded vigorously.
Everyone followed Yingzheng to the front of the two stone gates.
"Your Majesty, which one should I enter?" Jing Fan asked.
Left or right? Ying Zheng also hesitated.
"Sir, how shall I go?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked.
"As far as Wei Chen knows, this fourth floor is actually a labyrinth, and inside these two doors, there are different secret rooms." Li Si looked at the stone gate and said, "And so on, one by one, the secret rooms are connected one by one, and only by taking the right route can you reach the last most important large secret room." ”
"Labyrinth?" Ying Zheng's expression was a little stunned.
"Sir doesn't know how to go?" Jing Fan asked.
Li Si nodded and said: "It's said to be a labyrinth, but in the end, all you lead to is that big secret room, but if you can't find a way, you may really get lost, and if you look for a way out here, you are likely to be separated, so don't separate on this floor." ”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then let's not get separated." There doesn't seem to be any difference between these two doors, but we just have to find a way to get us back safely. ”
In the case that there is no direction to move forward, the first thing to do is to retreat.
The crowd looked at each other and seemed to make eye contact with each other.
"Your Majesty, it is better for us to use this extinguished torch to mark the inside and outside of the stone gate we entered, and if we want to return, we will follow the mark." Jing Fan made a suggestion.
"That's a good idea." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's just that I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution, it must go through this layer, and it can't be completed in a while and a half." ”
"Your Majesty, what if that mark could last for a thousand years, and it would be immortal?" Tian Yi said on the side.
Ying Zheng looked at Tian Yi and seemed to have a flash of realization in his mind.
Something can be immortal.
"Didn't the king just let us imitate the paint, and the ability of the paint is that it can be applied to the surface of the object, and it can be immortal and incorruptible." Tian Yi added.
"That's right, but ......," Ying Zheng wondered, "but isn't that paint transparent?" ”
After Tian Yi's reminder, Jing Fan also thought of something, pointed to the outside of the big stone gate, and said, "Did the king forget that our Yangu lacquer can already be made into various colors?" ”
"yes." Ying Zheng didn't see the colorful paint with his own eyes, and he forgot about it, "If you don't say it, everyone will forget it." ”
Tian Yi said, "As long as different colors of paint are applied to the doors of different secret rooms, the routes in and out can be marked, and the order of travel can be distinguished through color." ”
net
"That's a good idea!" Ying Zheng smiled, "I didn't expect Tian Yi to look like a rough person at ordinary times, but at this critical time, there are really some ghost ideas in his stomach." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
"In that case, let's not venture this time, just enter a secret room, see what the layout is, and then exit, go back to repair and repair, and then mix some colored paint out, and continue to explore tomorrow." Ying Zheng said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
Ying Zheng looked at the two stone gates, then walked to the one on the right, blackened a piece of ground under his feet with a torch on the ground, and then took out the black iron snail and put it into the hole in the stone door.
Click, click......
The stone door opened.
