On the dark-black stone tablet, the number in the center changed from "thirty-two" to "eight hundred and twenty-one".
The difference from before is that the tadpole characters that were originally glowing are now dull and gray. Only the edges occasionally flow with red light.
There is obviously a crack in the stone tablet.
It was like someone had cut it deeply with a knife.
Even the corpses hanging next to them were gray and dark, and two of them were even in a state of decay.
Li Nanke placed his hand again on the handprint position on the stone tablet.
However, apart from the cold touch, nothing unusual happened, and the mysterious cracks beside the stone tablet disappeared.
Shangguan Guan and Bai Buai tried the same thing, but to no avail.
Obviously, the stone tablet has fallen into a state of silence at this moment, and it will take some time to wake up.
"It seems we won't be able to get in for a short time."
Shangguanguan looked at the numbers above and said, "If the previous hypothesis is true, then the next time we go in, we will see what happened in Phoenix Mountain 821 years ago, almost more than two years ago."
Why did the number become eight hundred and twenty-one... Li Nanke thought for a moment, turned to Bai Buai who was muttering in a low voice, and asked: "When did Bai Fenghuang die?"
"I'm calculating, don't disturb me."
Bai Buai waved his hand impatiently, picked up a small stone and wrote on the ground, and quickly gave the answer, "He died seven hundred and eighty-two days ago."
"you sure?"
"Nonsense, I remember clearly when my second sister died."
Li Nanke's question made Bai Bu'ai look dissatisfied, and spittle flew out when he responded.
But then, Bai Buai's eyes darkened, and he said again: "But eight hundred and twenty-one years ago, it was probably the time when my second sister came to Phoenix Mountain."
The starting point of everything...
Li Nanke said silently in his heart.
Shangguan Guan took off the rattan rope tied to the stone, sprinkled some blue powder on it, and pulled it a few times. Soon, the strong woman and other personnel arrived here.
Shangguan Guan told the strong woman in detail what he had experienced, and gave his own assumptions:
"Preliminary judgment, it should be related to the White Phoenix. Every time you enter, the time numbers on the stone tablet will change. But looking at that stone tablet, it shouldn't last long."
The strong woman looked at the stone tablet carefully, stroked it and tapped it for a while, and asked, "Approximately how long did you stay in there?"
"About half an hour."
"When you left, did you leave suddenly?" the strong woman asked again in a rough voice.
Shangguan Guan said: "I saw red clouds appearing in the sky. When the red clouds floated directly above the heads of the three of us, a red light fell, and then we returned here."
"What's the red cloud? Why didn't I see it?" Bai Buai was surprised.
He turned to Li Nanke and asked, "Did you see it?"
Li Nanke did not respond, but looked at Shangguan Pass with admiration. Sure enough, there was a reason why he became a supervisor of the Qinglong Department. No matter where he was, he always observed carefully.
"If I go in next time, can I see the white phoenix?"
The strong woman walked to the hanging corpses, looked up for a while, turned around and asked again.
Shangguanguan pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly, "I don't know."
The strong woman glanced at Bai Buai.
The young prince lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He clenched the crossbow in his hand from time to time.
"Then let's leave people here to guard it in shifts. When the stone tablet can be opened again, we will send some people in to explore."
The strong woman said lightly, pausing as her eyes passed over Li Nanke, "If you find anything, report it in time. If you hide it yourself, you will get into trouble sooner or later."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Nanke remained expressionless, pretending not to hear what the other party meant.
The group of people followed the original path and returned to the outside of the red mist.
Beyond the red mist, the sky was already getting a little dark, with the remaining glow of the evening glow making everything clear. The eldest princess, Nie Ying and the dragon guards were still waiting.
Seeing Li Nanke come out, Nie Ying and the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief.
The eldest princess Bai Ruyue whispered to Nie Ying, turned around and walked towards her carriage, her delicate back looking graceful and hazy in the sunset.
"Is everything okay?"
Nie Ying walked up to Li Nanke. Although she expressed concern, her tone was as cold as ever.
Li Nanke, who was used to the other person's tone of voice, smiled. Seeing the strong woman going to the dragon guard to report, he joked, "It's okay. There's no danger. I knew I would have asked you to accompany me."
"Did she give you a hard time?"
Catching the man's eyes, Nie Ying raised her sharp eyebrows.
Li Nanke shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true, but having a stern face will scare people. It's better for you, Mr. Nie, even if you keep a cold face, it won't scare people."
"Okay, I'll take you to the prison some other time. You'll like me even more."
Nie Ying raised her jade-white chin, which was cut off like a sharp edge, and smiled half-heartedly. The silver-white metal mask shone coldly, and there was an invisible flow of blood.
At this moment, the man ignored her cool and tall figure and remembered that she was the executioner of the Shadow Guard.
Teasing her is like sending yourself to the Palace of Hell.
Li Nanke shivered and said: "Forget it, my body is relatively fragile and I can't go to that place."
"If you don't shut up, you will get in sooner or later."
Nie Ying reminded her coldly, and then said "The eldest princess is waiting for you." and turned to leave.
Why is it so cold?
Li Nanke bared his teeth and felt helpless.
"Detective Li, I'll treat you to a drink."
Bai Buai, who went to the tent to change his clothes, stepped forward with a smile and put his arms around each other, "Don't worry, we won't go to that romantic place, we will only go to an ordinary restaurant."
"The eldest princess called me, I'm sorry."
Li Nanke smiled apologetically, broke away, and walked towards Bai Ruyue's carriage.
Who knows that Bai doesn't like Pei Dian and Pei Dian follows behind.
Before getting on the carriage, Bai Buai shouted to Bai Ruyue in the carriage: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, can you give me a lift?"
"roll."
A cold and sweet voice floated out.
"Okay."
Bai Buai turned around and left very wisely. During this period, he winked at Li Nanke and made a lip-sync.
The mouth shape vaguely resembles the word "eight wives".
Li Nanke felt so funny that he got into the carriage and complained directly, "He just called you a bastard."
Li Nanke's voice was not deliberately lowered. Bai Buai, who had not gone far, was frightened and ran directly to his carriage. It is estimated that before he could sit firmly, the carriage drove towards another road.
"Tell me about the situation."
Bai Ruyue didn't care about being scolded as "the eighth mother-in-law". There was a cold and cold look in her eyes. She seemed to be more tired than what Li Nanke saw when he left.
Li Nanke looked at her with concern, "Are you really sick? Why don't you go back to my house and let my wife take a look at you?"
"good."
Bai Ruyue leaned on the corner of the carriage with her shoulders and closed her apricot eyes.
Ah, I really want to go.
Li Nanke just said it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to agree to go to his house, so he felt a little embarrassed.
But the words have already been spoken and can only be stopped.
The man conveniently covered the other person with the blanket next to him.
"Say it."
Bai Ruyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her red lips opened slightly.
Li Nanke stared at the woman's beautiful face and told her everything about his experience after entering the thick fog. Except that he used a plug-in to find the fingerprints on the stone tablet, he didn't hide anything else.
"So all this was caused by White Phoenix?"
The eldest princess opened her eyes.
Li Nanke nodded, "To be precise, it was caused by the red rain, but the white phoenix came out of the red rain world for some unknown reason."
"I'll go too next time."
"Huh? What are you going to do?" Li Nanke frowned.
"If nothing else, we should be able to see the White Phoenix next time." The eldest princess said quietly, "I want to meet this old friend."
