Chapter 1140
"Okay." Nan nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but her face didn't show it at all, and she looked into the secret passage with some curiosity.

She is not of royal blood and has never been here.

Cheng Shuyuan followed Lu Shengsheng, but deliberately kept a distance from him. There was a hint of darkness in his narrow and upturned fox eyes. He looked at the unconscious Qin Yiran and said nothing.

The executives led Nan Qingqing, the Queen, and the unconscious Qin Yiran in front, followed closely by Lu Shengsheng, Cheng Shuyuan, and several cavalrymen led by Xin You.

Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan followed. The couple kept looking at the structure of the secret passage. They looked at each other in tacit understanding and said nothing.

Yun Heng led several Xuanjia troops into the secret passage, while the twenty soldiers brought by the Gao Gao's family were at the end, not giving everyone a chance to escape.

When everyone entered the secret passage, the entrance was suddenly closed suddenly, and the surrounding area suddenly became gloomy. Nan was so frightened that he was slightly shocked.

"what happened?"

"Don't be afraid, young master." The executive's family quickly lit the oil lamp next to the secret passage.

"The mechanism in Jinghong Hall has always been inaccessible, so when someone is found to have entered, it will be automatically locked from the inside to ensure that those with malicious intentions will be trapped and die inside."

"As for the real heirs, after they come here, they will not give up halfway. They will open the door of the dark palace at the last blood test stone and successfully obtain the imperial seal."

"The exit from the dark palace will be opened then, and we can leave from there and hurry back to the palace."

"I see." Nan gently gritted his teeth to calm down his emotions, hiding all the uneasiness and confusion in his heart.

She never thought that being a queen would have to go through so many troublesome procedures. The most terrible thing is that she is not orthodox at all. How on earth will she pass the test of the blood test later?

Although the passing oil lamp was lit, the secret passage was still dim. Nan Wanyan noticed Nan's slightly panicked look, and a faint sneer on her red lips.

Gu Mohan's phoenix eyes, as deep as night, were coated with a layer of cold frost. He looked at the bottomless secret passage and pursed his lips thoughtfully.

Yun Heng was very curious about everything in front of him, and Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, this was her first time seeing him.

In comparison, the Queen looked extremely calm and calm, following the crowd with lowered eyes, without any wavering in her eyes.

Cheng Shuyuan stared at the grooves on the wall with interest, which seemed to have been carved carelessly. Just as he was about to reach out and touch them, he was discovered by the senior management and scolded harshly.

"Don't move, that's the halberd and spear array!"

"Put the halberd gun that has been quenched in advance into the wall soil one foot deep, supplemented by cinnabar, fishing line and dozens of tiny mechanical parts. If it is accidentally touched, it will instantly be ejected from both walls. , shooting countless halberd spears."

"If you don't want to be pierced by thousands of arrows, you'd better keep your hands clean!"

Ten thousand arrows piercing the heart?

Everyone swallowed with palpitations in their throats. Cheng Shuyuan flattened his mouth indifferently, and a glint flashed in his fox eyes.

It is indeed a country of institutions. There is a reason why it has been unable to conquer Daxia for a long time.

Lu Shengsheng also broke out in a cold sweat, glared at him sideways, gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Be honest and don't move!"

Nan Wanyan and Gu Mohan looked at the grooves on the wall. They had different thoughts, but they both understood that even if Cheng Shuyuan had moved just now, the mechanism here would not be activated.

Because someone has already been here and broke the mechanism formation in the secret passage.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of cold and damp wind hit everyone. Nan Qingqing couldn't help but shiver, but the senior executive's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted not far away.

"arrive!"

"That's the dark hall, and standing in front of it is the blood test stone. Young master, follow me there quickly!"

Is this a blood test stone?
Everyone looked around and saw a huge azure stone standing majestically in front of the dark hall. There was an iron disc in the center of the huge stone, with gears of different shapes and sizes scattered throughout.

There is a groove in the center of the disk, with raised spikes above the groove, which should be the location for the blood test.Although everyone cannot see the structure inside the boulder, it is not difficult to tell from the disc alone that the inside of this blood test stone must be full of mechanisms.

Gu Mohan and Nan Wanyan also saw the legendary blood test stone for the first time, and they both looked at it carefully.

Nan Wanyan's face was subtle, and there was a hint of dark color in her cold pupils.

Gu Mohan raised his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips into a sharp arc. The conversation he had with Ye Qianfeng that night suddenly appeared in his mind——

"Langshan Academy has never been as simple as it looks on the surface. In the eyes of outsiders, it may be the highest academic institution in Daxia. The people who come out of it are either important officials of the imperial court or assistant civil servants around the queen in the future."

"But in fact, it is the only channel used to verify heirs in Daxia for hundreds of years. All princes can only obtain the imperial seal and become the true masters of Daxia only if they pass the test of the blood test stone."

He pursed his lips calmly, looked at the blood test stone at the entrance of the palace, and pressed his narrow and cold eyes downwards.

The two guards threw the unconscious Qin Yiran aside and ignored him. At this moment, the executive suddenly took two steps excitedly and knelt down towards the blood stone respectfully and piously.

His eyes flashed and he spoke excitedly.

"God bless Daxia and bring blessings to all directions. Now Nan Qingqing, the orthodox heir of Daxia, has come here voluntarily to accept the test. I, Gao Manyuan, are willing to work hard to guarantee the authenticity of the heir. I also hope that the divine stone will bless this person and grant her blessings." Supreme honor——"

After saying that, he put his finger into the groove in the center of the disc and pricked it. The blood flowed into the blood test stone, and the disc suddenly emitted a burst of cyan light.

The surrounding stone walls began to tremble, everyone suddenly panicked, and the soldiers drew their swords vigilantly.

Nan frowned slightly in confusion and couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on? Aren't I here to do a blood test?"

Before the executive could answer, the queen suddenly sneered coldly, her sharp eyes making people shudder.

"The test of the blood test stone is a long-standing tradition in Great Xia, but before the orthodox heir can test the blood, he must first test it with the blood of a capable civil servant or military general around him, in order to awaken the mechanism inside the blood test stone."

"Originally, this matter has been handled by civilian officials decades ago, but..."

Mo Yunming is dead.

The Queen glanced at Nan Wanyan distressedly. Nan Wanyan's face suddenly turned pale, her curled fingers were trembling slightly, and there was overwhelming hatred in her eyes.

Gu Mohan gently held her hand to show comfort, and his angular handsome face was also covered with a layer of frost.

The soldiers waited quietly and put away their weapons.

Lu Shengsheng and Cheng Shuyuan were both looking at the faintly glowing blood test stone. Yun Heng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the strangeness of Daxia's mechanism technique.

The surrounding gradually became quiet, and the blood test stone returned to normal.

The executive turned his head to look at Nan Qingqing with excitement, and said urgently, "My young master just needs to put his finger into the groove like the old minister, and it will naturally pierce and bleed."

"The blood will flow into the inside of the blood test stone along the hollow below the groove. Once it passes the test, the door to the dark palace will naturally open. Please hurry up, young master."

Nan gritted his teeth gently, his small and delicate face full of nervousness and embarrassment.

She avoided looking directly into the executive's eyes, clenched her fists and made no move to step forward.

What will happen to her if she fails the test?

Lu Shengsheng seemed to have read through Nan Qingqing's thoughts, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically.

"By the way, I heard that the blood stone test is simple, but if you meet an opportunistic person, you will die."

"Once the unorthodox blood flows into the blood test stone, it will automatically trigger various powerful mechanisms. I advise you not to be in the limelight recklessly, so as not to harm us and be buried with you..."
