The white smoke gradually dissipated, and everyone who was still there finally saw Ying Zheng and Li Si clearly, and they all rushed over eagerly.
"Your Majesty!" Jing Fan came to Ying Zheng's side first and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The danger has been eliminated, everyone, don't worry."
"Your hand, Your Majesty." Tian Yi saw blood stains on Ying Zheng's fingers and hurriedly found a piece of ribbon in the package to bandage Ying Zheng.
"No need to bandage, it's not bleeding anymore." Ying Zheng raised his finger and shook it, "Besides, maybe it will be used again later, and bandaging it will be inconvenient."
Everyone's faces were full of confusion, and they couldn't figure out what Ying Zheng's words meant.
Li Si changed the subject and said, "The white smoke just now is the antidote to the green smoke. Therefore, the poisonous gas that everyone was exposed to just now has been cured."
The elites of the Jing family class were completely relieved after hearing Li Si's words.
Thanks to the fact that these people are all craftsmen of Jingyao, they are used to seeing many incredible things, so they are naturally much more courageous than ordinary people.
"Look, the stone door has been opened." Someone in the crowd shouted.
Tian Yi stepped forward to open and push the stone door.
Jing Fan grabbed Tian Yi and said, "Wait a minute, maybe there is another mechanism. I still don't know what the cause of the woman-like crying just now is."
Thinking of the horrifying cry just now, everyone's scalps felt numb again.
"Sir, was that crying sound just now?..." Ying Zheng asked everyone's doubts.
Could it be what? ghost?
Li Si smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Where did the ghost come from? You must have seen it. This is actually a mechanism. If the smoke wants to be sprayed out, there must be breath blowing, and the breath inside is generated." The mechanism is bound to produce this kind of sound, but we are just scaring ourselves and imagining the sound as a woman’s cry.”
"So that's it." Ying Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and said.
Everyone, like Ying Zheng, sighed and then put their hearts in their stomachs.
"Since there are no female ghosts, let's go in." Tian Yi said.
"Wait a minute." Li Si walked to the door, pointed to the hole under the copper ring, and said, "Although the stone door has been opened, it cannot be pushed by human power. The king still needs to use the black iron snail again, and the stone door will open automatically. Turn on."
"Okay." Ying Zheng took out the black iron snail again, put it into the hole, and followed Li Si's guidance and turned it twice in the opposite direction.
It can be seen that the security measures on this fourth floor are much stronger than those on the first three floors. No wonder the first three floors are just places to send away thieves.
Crack...squeak...
The stone door slowly rotated.
Ying Zheng subconsciously took a few steps back, fearing that some hidden weapon would suddenly fly out from inside.
Jing Fan and Tian Yi quickly walked to Ying Zheng and protected Ying Zheng.
The door was fully opened, and the blue firelight reflected in, but it seemed to be swallowed up, and no trace of the scene inside could be seen.
This strange scene made everyone's hearts hang again.
Jing Fan, who was standing at the door, took 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 door, the blue torch beat violently, seeming to be struggling painfully.
Jing Fan was startled and quickly took back his foot and the torch.
Strangely enough, after the torch was taken back, the beating stopped, as if the flame was freed from pain and regained its consciousness.
laugh.
"Don't go in yet." Li Si walked to the door and said, "We have to stand in front of the door and put the torches into the stone door."
Everyone was convinced of Li Si's words, and immediately crowded in front of the door and extended their torches into the door.
The moment more than a dozen torches entered the stone gate, they all began to beat violently, as if they were attending a grand dance together.
Fortunately, these craftsmen were brave, otherwise most of them would throw away the torches they were holding when this strange scene appeared in front of them.
Gradually, the beating of some flames slowed down, or the flames stretched, or swayed like water waves.
Along with this, the color of some flames gradually became lighter, from blue to light blue, and then to white little by little.
The situation became increasingly weird, and some craftsmen's hands began to tremble with the flames.
"Don't panic, it should be fine soon." Li Si said in a deep voice.
The craftsmen whose hands were shaking calmed down and held their trembling hands with their other hands.
All the flames finally turned pure white, and basically stopped beating, becoming peaceful and peaceful.
Everyone was stunned when they looked at the white flames in front of them.
The white flame seemed to have burned away all the darkness and sin, and became extremely holy in the peace, like a dozen saints in white smiling happily at everyone.
At this moment, the space inside the stone door gradually became brighter. It seemed that these white flames awakened a new world, driving away the darkness bit by bit.
Li Si stepped into the stone door and said, "You can come in."
Only then did everyone recover from their trance, their eyes moved from the white flames to their feet, and they followed Li Si into the stone gate.
The space inside the stone gate is getting brighter and brighter.
Everyone discovered that the inside of the stone door was exactly the same as the outside of the stone door. The difference was that on the innermost wall, there were two smaller single-leaf stone doors on the left and right.
"You can put out the torch." After saying that, Li Si put out his own torch.
"Sir, you extinguished the torch, but you can't see anything anymore." Tian Yi said.
"You can see it, turn it off." Li Si said with certainty.
Of course Ying Zheng believed what Li Si said and was the first to put out the torch.
When everyone saw that King Qin had done this, they all extinguished their torches.
The strange thing is that the stone house did not fall into darkness, but was as bright as before.
"This..." Jing Fan only said one word and then got stuck.
This is so weird.
Li Si smiled and said: "Why this is so, I can't quite explain. However, when we put the torch into the stone door just now, couldn't we see other scenes besides the flames? It should be the surrounding walls. After absorbing light, it will emit light, so it would be a waste to light these torches again, not to mention that these torches will have no illuminating effect."
In other words, this house is not lit by white torches.
Jing Fan opened his mouth wide, but still couldn't speak.
Ying Zheng also took a breath, quite surprised.
This is too confusing. There is no need to light up the lights in the stone house, the walls will glow.
Li Si leaned down and touched the stone tiles on the ground with his hands.
"Except for the color, these stone bricks seem to be the same as those in the corridor outside." Li Si murmured to himself.
Ying Zheng came to his senses first, walked in front of Li Si, and squatted down to look at the magical ground.
Indeed, the square tiles on the ground seem to be the same as those outside the stone door, but it cannot be seen that the stone tiles are glowing.
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 now. It seems that we have to move forward."
Jing Fan pushed his mouth back with his hand and nodded vigorously.
Everyone followed Ying Zheng to the front of the two stone doors.
"Your Majesty, which one should I enter?" Jing Fan asked.
Left or right? Ying Zheng also hesitated.
"Sir, how should we go?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked.
"As far as Wei Chen knows, this fourth floor is actually a maze, and the two doors are connected to different secret rooms." Li Si looked at the stone door and said, "By analogy, one secret room after another Connected together, only by taking the right route can we reach the last and most important large secret room."
"Maze?" Ying Zheng looked a little stunned.
"You don't know how to go, sir?" Jing Fan asked.
Li Si nodded and said: "It is said to be a maze, but in the end it leads to the big secret room. If you can't find the way, you may really get lost. And if you look for a way out here, you may also end up lost." So, don’t separate on this level.”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's not get separated. It doesn't seem to make any difference which of these two doors we go to. We just need to find a way to get back safely." "
When there is no direction to move forward, the first and most important thing to do is to retreat unscathed.
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to be communicating with each other with their eyes.
"Your Majesty, why don't we use this extinguished torch to mark the stone gate we entered inside and outside. If we want to return, just follow the marks and return." Jing Fan made a suggestion.
"This is a good suggestion." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "But I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution. We have to go through this level, and it can't be completed in a day and a half."
"Your Majesty, what if the mark can last for thousands of years and become immortal?" Tian Yi said from the side.
Ying Zheng looked at Tian Yi, as if a flash of enlightenment flashed in his mind.
What can be immortal?
"Didn't the King just ask us to imitate the paint? The paint's ability is that it can be painted on the surface of objects, making it immortal and incorruptible." Tian Yi added.
"That's true, but..." Ying Zheng said doubtfully, "But isn't the 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 be made into various colors?"
"Yeah." Ying Zheng didn't see the colorful paint with his own eyes, so he forgot about it. "If you don't tell me, everyone will forget."
Tian Yi said, "As long as different colors of paint are painted on the doorways of different secret rooms, the routes in and out can be marked, and the order of travel can also be distinguished by color."
net
"That's a good idea!" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Tian Yi usually looks like a rough man, but at this critical moment, he really has some evil ideas in his heart."
Everyone laughed.
"In this case, let's not rush in this time. We can only enter a secret room to see what the layout is inside, then exit, go back and trim it, and then mix some colored paint and continue the investigation 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, used a torch to paint a piece of ground under his feet black, then took out the black iron snail and put it into the hole of the stone gate.
Click, click...
The stone door opened.
