The couple followed the stone stairs and went down to the second underground floor.
This is the real center of Crescent Lake.
As they got closer, Lin Mengya could clearly see the situation here.
In addition to the large expanse of jade-white fine sand in the middle, not far from the stone staircase, there is a single stone bed and a stone table, as well as some daily necessities.
Lin Mengya walked over and picked up the lampstand on the table.
It can be seen that this should be the temporary residence of the priests who were sent in to become the brides of the Lake God after the sacrificial ceremony began.
In fact, she was still guessing before that the reason why the ancient tribe deliberately wanted to send her in was because there was some fatal mechanism here.
But now it seems that she has obviously gone astray.
That's all here, and it doesn't look dangerous.
But this only deepened her doubts.
Since there was no problem, why did the ancient tribe go to such trouble to let her be the priest?
For a moment, she was confused.
At this time, Long Tianyu's eyes were attracted by the things on the surrounding walls.
"It seems like someone has carved words here."
He reached out and touched the wall behind the stone bed.
Because this is a blind spot where sunlight shines, he couldn't see clearly for a while.
Lin Mengya also followed, bent down, stretched out her hand and rubbed it for a moment before saying, "It seems to be a number? No, huh?"
With that said, she held Long Tianyu's arm and climbed onto the stone bed.
When she got closer, she discovered that there were almost all kinds of scratches on the wall.
She touched them one by one with her hands carefully, and at the same time, she also sketched a general appearance according to the arrangement of these scratches in the system.
She didn't stop until she touched the spot where the stone bed connected to the wall.
But after looking back at the picture that the system restored for her, Lin Mengya was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Long Tianyu saw his wife's stunned look and asked in a low voice.
"Yu, I seem to know how to open that box!"
There was a bit of excitement and disbelief in her tone.
When Long Tianyu heard this, he also became energetic.
"That's great! It's worth our time coming here. How about we go back now?"
Lin Mengya also calmed down and calmed down her current mood.
There was indeed a picture drawn on the wall connected to the stone bed. If she hadn't followed the teacher's method and marked all the marks on the box, she probably wouldn't have been able to understand what was drawn on it. Only now, she temporarily placed the box in the room where she temporarily lived last night.
She checked the picture again to make sure that no traces were missing, and then she happily followed her man and prepared to go out.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, they heard the sound of the secret door being opened.
At the same time, Lin Mengya heard the sound of three stones hitting the top of the tower.
This is the secret code they agreed on before.
If Renyi notices that someone is coming in, he must give them a hint in time.
With Lin Mengya's hearing, of course she would not miss this movement.
So, someone is coming!
The couple looked at each other and quietly retreated to the second floor in tacit agreement.
It's much easier to hide here than above.
The two of them hid behind the stone stairs, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer.
Obviously, those were the footsteps of two people, and they stopped not far above their heads.
"Chief Chang, we can't let anything go wrong this time as we discussed it before."
"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, Miss Song. I have been fully prepared this time. I will have Gong Ya brought over as soon as the opportunity comes."
"But why did I hear that you can't even find anyone else now?"
The female voice was full of arrogance, and even contained some contempt and dissatisfaction to blame the other party for not doing things well.
It was hard for Lin Mengya to imagine that the manager Chang, who she regarded as herself, would apologize repeatedly because of a woman's reprimand.
"What Miss Song doesn't know is that the head of the Gong family is really a cunning and smart opponent. I spent a lot of time trying to make her a legitimate candidate for the priesthood. Who knew that I fell short at the most critical moment? But
Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of everything.”
"This Gong family has demands from the ancient clan. She will never hide and not show up. As soon as she shows up, I will send people to arrest her immediately!"
This is really unexpected!
Lin Mengya raised the corners of her lips in the darkness, revealing a sarcastic smile.
Unexpectedly, she had doubts and suspicions before, and the person who really plotted against her was the serious and old-fashioned person in charge of the secret meeting.
No wonder, even if she found evidence of cheating in the end, the person in charge refused to change the result and even persuaded her to accept it.
The riot has been going on for a long time and the thief is shouting "Catch the thief!"
For a moment, Lin Mengya was concerned about
The dislike of this master in charge even exceeds that of Commander Ah Dan.
Although both of them are not good people, at least Commander Ah Dan is targeting them openly.
But this manager Chang was like a poisonous snake, entrenched behind her, and would kill her if he found an opportunity!
But there was one thing that she still couldn't figure out: why those people deliberately wanted her to be the priest.
Could it be that it has something to do with this strange woman?
"What's the use of waiting? Why don't you send someone out to look for it quickly?"
The woman was obviously not satisfied with the progress of Chang's affairs.
"I'm warning you, if you delay my important event, even if your pavilion master comes, I won't be able to protect you!"
"You know that this time the quota for your side is in the hands of our Song family, and I happen to be the organizer of the selection. If none of you can become an official candidate this time, then next time
I don’t know if you will ever have this opportunity again!”
The threat in the woman's words was not hidden at all. Manager Chang was so frightened that he immediately apologized repeatedly and promised that he would definitely get the matter done in the shortest possible time.
The woman seemed to hate his guarantee, and just said coldly, "You'd better keep your word. I think it's time to prepare here. I want a result within three days."
"What? Three days!"
Manager Chang seemed a little surprised.
"What happened in three days? Even if I ask you to do it immediately, do you dare to disobey?"
The woman's voice was full of impatience.
Manager Chang did not dare to reply, so he only dared to agree, but he was really unsure.
After all, until now, they have no news about Gong Ya, and even those who sent out have several teams missing in succession.
Although he knew that the other party would not be able to escape so quickly, he still felt a little unsure in his heart.
But the person he faced was unreasonable at all, and he also knew that this person must not be offended.
"Okay, then do as Miss Song said. I will definitely give you an answer within three days, but please do what you say, Miss Song. Please be respectful to our people in this selection."
Manager Chang made this condition through gritted teeth. He knew that once he agreed, he would have to use his last trump card.
And once this trump card is used, it means that the ancient clan will usher in a great turmoil.
But if he doesn't agree, if none of them can become an official candidate in this selection, it means that their family will soon be forgotten.
Maybe some people think that being forgotten is not terrible, but He knew very well how dangerous a forgotten race was in the eyes of those people.
That means they are abandoned. In the eyes of those people, it means they can be plundered, enslaved, or even driven at will or directly exterminated!
Thinking of this consequence, even Manager Chang couldn't help but shudder.
No, he absolutely cannot see this happening!
"Do your errands well, and don't ask or think too much about other things."
Miss Song did not directly agree to his conditions.
In her opinion, people here will be given up sooner or later.
Therefore, they are not qualified to negotiate terms with themselves.
It's just that now she needs to use these people for herself and help achieve this goal, so she has to hang them with these conditions.
If she is in a good mood after the matter is completed, then she can naturally let them go.
But if she is in a bad mood, then just let them fend for themselves. Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.
These losers deserve no sympathy at all.
Manager Chang, who is eager for success, has no idea that he has made such sacrifices and sacrifices, and the result is that he will be played like a clown.
But even if he knew it, he could only hold his nose and admit it. Who let the fate of their clan rest in this woman's hands?
As the voice above them faded away, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu slowly emerged.
It's just that the two of them just looked at each other and didn't say anything more, but after going out, they will definitely get to the bottom of this matter.
The two of them were very cautious and waited a few more minutes.
It wasn't until the sound of two stones hitting the top of the tower was heard again from outside that they knew they were safe now.
Soon the two people were at the door, waiting for Renyi who opened the door for them.
The three of them didn't talk much, but followed the route that Renichi and the others had taken to escape before climbing over the wall to the outside.
At this time, Qian Jinzi was also running around in a hurry. After seeing them return safely, the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
"You have finally come out. If you don't come out, I will rush in to save you!"
Seeing his anxious look, Lin Mengya asked doubtfully, "What happened to you? Why are you so anxious?"
Before Ren Yi even opened his mouth, Qian Jinzi immediately told them everything that had happened before.
"This man's martial arts is quite powerful. Even Ren Yi can't beat him. I'm afraid that he will find you and do you harm again."
