I didn't answer Lan Yue. There were some things that needed to be confirmed.
Judging from the series of bizarre things just now, I feel more and more that what we encountered should be a special Feng Shui formation, and it is very likely that there is a legendary mysterious evil hidden in this cave.
If that's the case, it's definitely a huge problem.
I walked over and fiddled with the gold and silver jewelry at the foot of the stone statue. There was nothing unusual about these things.
I stood up again and knocked on the shining golden warrior statue.
Dong Dong, you can tell from the sound that this warrior statue is not entirely made of gold as remembered. At best, it is made of pig iron with a thick layer of gold paint on the outside.
I observed it carefully. It is said that such a tall statue must have special meaning. Sure enough, I found that the eyes of the four warrior statues were brighter than other parts.
I didn't realize it when I first entered the cave, but I had already stayed in the cave for a while. When I looked at the four stone statues, their eyes seemed to shoot out eight rays.
The standing angles of these four statues are opposite each other, and their gazes are slightly downward.
Their sights hit each other's body and then reflected back, crossing each other on the bluestone to form a rectangular circle of light that was closed front and back, just in time to surround the gold and silver treasures at their feet.
The light made my head feel dizzy, which was somewhat similar to the feeling just now.
What kind of paint is this?
I took out my short sword to ward off evil spirits and scraped hard on the body and eyes of the warrior statue a few times.
This time I discovered something special. It is said that the short sword to ward off evil spirits can cut iron like clay, and it is extremely sharp. In addition, the strength of my hand is not small.
But after scraping for a long time, I could barely scrape off some reddish-yellow and golden powder.
I took the powder in my hand, dipped my finger in it, put it under my nose and smelled it hard.
Sure enough, there was something wrong. This smell was very close to the scent of lilies just now, and then I felt dizzy.
"Xiaoyue, go get me a bowl of water!" I held the yellow powder in my hand like a treasure.
Lan Yue took out a large round cup from her bag and ran to the river, scooped out some water and brought it back.
I first took out a talisman and threw it into the water bowl, and then poured the gold powder on my hand into the water.
Suddenly, the clear water turned light green in an instant, and a fishy smell came out.
"Well, I guessed it right, this is fish gall powder, so there should be blood on this stone tablet?" I thought to myself.
I handed the water bowl to Lan Yue, walked to the stone tablet with the evil-proofing knife, scraped off some of the red paint on the inscription and threw it into the water bowl.
Suddenly, half of the green water turned red again, and this time the smell of blood came out.
I didn't stop for a moment, squatted down and picked up some remains of mushroom flowers with a short knife and threw them in.
The same thing happened.
After the mushroom powder was thrown inside, it turned white. At this time, the water surface showed a strange scene. The water inside was green, red, and white.
The three colors are not mixed, but each takes up one-third of the area.
"Xiao Dao, what's going on? What did you get, and how did it change into three colors?" Lan Yue asked in surprise, holding the water bowl.
I looked at the water bowl and said, "What was scraped off the stone statue was powdered from the gall of some animal, so its original color was green.
"The stone tablet is made of its blood, which is red. The mushroom at the end is cultivated from its flesh and bones, which is white."
Lan Yue and Ai Li were both stunned: "Why did an animal come out again? What kind of blood and guts are there? What on earth is going on?"
"I'll tell you in detail later!" I randomly pulled out some water plants, lit a small fire aside, and then put the bowl of water in Lan Yue's hand on the fire to heat it.
Lan Yue, Ai Li, I all sat next to the fire.
I took out a chopstick and gently stirred the three-color liquid in the bowl, and said in a deep voice: "After the water boils, give each of Uncle Lan and the others a sip, and we will drink some too.
"Now we are in big trouble. The second formation eye of this pair of dragons playing with pearls is much more complicated than the previous one. It is an formation within an formation, called the three-ringed moon."
"Three rings surrounding the moon, what does this mean? Does it mean there are three formations here? Lan Yue was stunned and asked.
I nodded and said, "Yes, there are two to three formations. It's almost the same as the Ghost Valley where Uncle Liu and I went.
I frowned, now I understand.
Why didn’t my grandfather and the others take away all the gold and silver treasures?
In fact, they encountered the same experience as me, and were also affected by the three-ring moon formation. The memory disorder caused them to forget many things here.
It's just that the mechanism they encountered is different from ours. Can they go back the same way?
It seemed that Grandpa Wang was right. There were traps in more than one place at the entrance of the cave, but most of them had been destroyed when they came.
This iron gate may be the last one. The reason why it was not discovered by Lan Jianguo is because it is hidden in the Feng Shui formation.
Seeing that I was silent again, Ellie asked hurriedly: "Can you make it clearer? What is going on?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "The three-ringed moon is too complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in just a few sentences.
"Let me ask you first, that lily fell to the ground after a puff of smoke came out of my hand. I don't know what happened next. Did you see anything?"
“Think about it, it’s critical.”
Ellie shook her head and said, "Oh, I was so scared at the time. Without seeing clearly, I knew that the lily seemed to have legs underneath, and it would crawl in when it fell to the ground."
I looked at Lan Yue again.
She hesitated and said: "Xiao Dao, I don't know if you are dazzled? That lily seems to have turned into something like a fish, and it... has a head like a dog?"
Lan Yue didn't have absolute confidence either. He hesitated, wondering if he was blinded by the situation.
My eyes lit up and I quickly reminded: "Xiaoyue, think about it again, does your body look like a carp? The head is not like a dog, it should be like a bear."
"Well, it seems like, if you put it that way, it looks more like a bear, but its body must be like that of a carp." Lan Yue nodded.
"That's right. It's true. Now I can determine what the second formation is." I said happily.
When Ai Li and Lan Yue were confused, I told them in detail.
This matter is very complicated and we must start from the beginning.
I expected that the road to the Qing treasure would be full of obstacles, but I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome.
Take the current two-dragon play formation as an example. This formation is very special, with yin and yang complementing each other and creating endless changes.
This formation will change every once in a while, so the experiences of Grandpa and Wang Banxian'er cannot be used as an effective reference at all.
It is divided into two formations, east and west, corresponding to one yin and one yang, life and death, one big and one small...
The eastern formation is relatively simple, with only Chang'e's colorful python and sweet-scented osmanthus rabbit inside. This array of eyes represents Yin, Xiao, and Death.
That said it doesn't have a lot of changes, so it's relatively easy for us to rule out there.
