What's the trouble? I brought an extra piece of ancient jade, and the mark in the middle of this ancient jade exactly corresponds to the pattern on the stone wall. Logically speaking, it's a good thing, but why does Shen Yuan think it's troublesome?
Shen Yuan stretched out his hand toward me and said, "Boss Ye, I have promised to give you the money. Now this jade pendant should be mine. You won't say that you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
"No, no."
I handed the triangular ancient jade to Shen Yuan without hesitation and said, "Young Master, am I the kind of person who recognizes money but not people? Besides, you, Master Shen, won't corrupt yourself just for two million."
For my own reputation, I must trust you."
Shen Yuan took the ancient jade without saying anything to me. He looked carefully and confirmed that the center of the Jisuo Netherworld Diagram was the same as the one on the stone wall. There was only one horizontal line. He carefully held the ancient jade again and pointed it at the line on the stone wall.
The triangle was pressed.
"Gudong!"
As soon as the ancient jade came into contact with the triangle on the stone wall, the triangular pattern suddenly sunk in, as if there was suction. Shen Yuan seemed to be caught off guard, and the ancient jade in his hand was sucked in, filling the hole just now.
The stone wall is still the same stone wall, and the triangle on it is still a triangle, but this triangle is no longer a carved pattern, but filled with triangular ancient jade, and the original triangle on the stone wall was the pattern of Jisuo Netherworld, but now it has become an ancient pattern.
The pattern of the Jade Palace is like a jade inlaid on the stone.
"Click, click... clang!"
A series of loud noises came from the passage. Everyone quickly retreated to a relatively open place and looked around to find the source of the sound. I held the pistol and my heart beat violently.
The sound lasted for more than ten seconds and then stopped. Nothing unusual happened. I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Mao Tianlin if he knew where the sound came from. But before I could say anything, there was a sudden tremor in the soles of my feet.
There was a slight sway, and a row of dimly lit wicks in the whale oil pipe swayed. I was so frightened that I wanted to run, but my legs became weak and I suddenly knelt on the ground, which made my knees hurt.
"Damn it! There's an earthquake!"
Anyway, I was already kneeling down, so I might as well lie on the ground with my head in my arms. Shale grabbed my arm and dragged me to the edge of the passage. He hugged me with his whole body. I curled up under his body, my heart surged, and I felt extra safe.
.
Everyone found a relatively safe place and remained very vigilant, not daring to act rashly. However, the shaking came suddenly and went away very quickly, and it subsided in an instant.
"It should be fine
." Two minutes later, I asked Shale in a low voice.
Shale looked around for a while and said, "Brother Ye Zi, it should be...it should be fine."
After waiting for another two minutes, the passage was still calm, as if the noise and vibration just now had never happened and returned to normal.
"Thanks!"
I got out from under Sha Le's arms and said, "After you get out, I will protect you, young master. You will eat well and drink hot food every day without wearing anything heavy."
"Hehehehe..." Shale neither agreed nor refused, showing the same silly smile as before.
Wu Zijin came over and asked nervously: "Grandpa Shen, is this place going to collapse?"
"Probably not."
Although I didn’t know where the sound came from, I was still familiar with it. I calmly recalled it and said, “On the platform of the giant dragon, your sister pulled an iron chain and a similar sound came out.
Later, the copper pipe containing whale oil in the passage was opened. It should be the sound and vibration made by some mechanism here."
"What agency?"
Wu Zijin glanced around and said, "With such a big movement, I didn't see any changes!"
Everyone couldn't figure out what was going on, and all their eyes were on Shen Yuan. But looking at Shen Yuan's constipated expression, it was clear that he didn't know what was going on. "It was indeed like the sound of a machine running just now. As for why there was no
The change may be due to the passage of time and the failure of the mechanism."
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at another triangular ancient jade in his hand, and continued: "Of course, I think there is a greater possibility. The ancient jade in our hands has the marks of one and two, that is to say
, we also need to find the Ji Suo Netherworld Diagram with two horizontal lines in the middle in the passage, and then put the ancient jade in my hand into it, and then the mechanism will operate."
"What's the meaning?"
I asked: "Does it mean that you have to find a pattern with two horizontal lines engraved on the stone wall, and then put the ancient jade in your hand into it, so that this mechanism can operate?"
Shen Yuan nodded.
"Then...after putting it in, can it be pulled out again?" I asked.
Shen Yuan pointed to the ancient jade embedded in the stone wall and said, "Try it."
I walked over and touched the piece of ancient jade that almost fit perfectly. The jade was almost completely integrated into the stone wall. It was usually flat and had very small gaps on the edge. I kept changing the position of my hands, but
I found that there was no way to start.
Shale handed over a dagger, I took it
He inserted the edge of the blade into the gap between the ancient jade and the stone wall, but Shen Yuan grabbed his arm and said: "Boss Ye, not only can you not pry it out, but you will also damage the ancient jade. The ancient jade is part of the mechanism, and at the same time it is engraved on it.
There are Jisuo Netherworld Diagram and Palace. Although I haven’t figured out the meaning of these two patterns yet, they must be part of a certain formation in the Eternal Life Palace. Damage to the ancient jade means that the formation has been destroyed. Maybe it will
Evolved into a killing array."
"It's so scary!" I wondered.
Shen Yuan nodded affirmatively.
After thinking about it, I gave up the idea of prying the ancient jade out and said, "If you can't take it out after putting it in, then you can never use the jade in your hand. Old Shen, you can't use it anymore."
You know, this piece of jade was obtained from the museum and has an archive number. If we can’t bring it back intact, we both will clean our butts and wait to go to jail.”
"Hey, this piece of jade was brought out by Chen Qiuhong."
Shen Yuan smiled obscenely and said, "What does it have to do with you, Boss Ye!"
My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at Shen Yuan, "What do you mean, we're going to burn the bridge and refuse to admit that Chen Qiuhong lent us the ancient jade, so that he can take the blame!"
Shen Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's not like burning bridges, it's just about getting what we need. He helped us get the ancient jade, which is not selfless, but also has conditions. And if there is a problem, with Chen Qiuhong's status and financial resources, it is not difficult to solve it.
,Boss Ye, now I am almost certain that the ancient jade is the key to us understanding the Palace of Eternal Life. It is like a key, it is very important to us. Can we find the soul summoning order? Can we find more valuable objects?
Whether you can even walk out safely, I think, has a lot to do with Gu Yu."
Shen Yuan casually sold Chen Qiuhong. When I heard such callous words, my heart stirred up. I felt that what Shen Yuan said made sense. Since Chen Qiuhong lent it to me from the museum, there was no evidence to prove that it was handed over to me.
, then I have nothing to do with the young master. Since it has nothing to do with me, why do I care so much!
"Boss Ye, let's put Chen Qiuhong aside and don't need to worry about it."
Shen Yuan said: "I only have one worry now. If my worry comes true, then we will be in big trouble."
I suddenly remembered that not long ago, Shen Yuan was always saying "Oh no, no no", but I never figured out what was going on, so I asked, "What's the trouble?"
Shen Yuan said: "If the triangular ancient jade is really like the key I guess, I am very worried. I'm afraid we don't have enough keys!"
