Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 62
At first glance, this seems to be an ordinary narrative mural, but if the Queen is so scrupulous about the elixir of life, and even kills all the people involved in the research after the research, even the countries far to the south, why is this mural Recorded in such detail?

From the beginning of the search for the elixir of life to the end of the war is recorded in such detail that we can roughly guess what happened just from the murals.

"It should be that knight." Lao Yan frowned, and said somewhat uncertainly.

This speculation is logically the most appropriate, because apart from the queen, he is the only one who knows the whole thing best.But the time is wrong, this knight has been with the queen all year round, there is no chance to leave these murals in such a banquet hall blatantly, and if something happens to the queen, it means that the ancient country of Long Night will disappear, the knight really has time to stay at the last moment The murals that take up three full walls?

I can't figure this out anyway.

"Old Yan, do you think the queen is dead or not?" I touched the mural, and a terrible thought grew in my heart, which I couldn't restrain.

Lao Yan glanced at me: "You don't think these murals are left by the Queen herself, do you?"

"Although this idea is absurd, I feel that only she has this opportunity, and doesn't she already have a way to live forever? It's normal for her not to die..." I slowly spit out a sentence, as if this is also the case. Can spit out the heaviness in my heart.

Lao Yan told me not to scare myself. He thought that if the queen was still there, the ancient country of the long night would not disappear suddenly, so this is also a paradox.

"And didn't we go into her graveyard before?" Lao Yan comforted me.

I said with cold hands and feet, but we didn't see the queen's body, and it was just our speculation that it was a cemetery.Moreover, as a queen, it is very normal for her to repair her cemetery in advance. There have been so many dynasties in our country since ancient times. Except for the turbulent times, the successive emperors will start to repair the cemetery before their death, so that they can enjoy it as soon as possible after death. Everything in life.

Lao Yan stopped when he was looking for the exit, and called me in a heavy tone. I looked at him for no reason, and he said calmly, "Even if she didn't die, she was just a rice dumpling. Chang'an, who is in our line of work?" , I am most afraid of meeting zongzi, but I am also the least afraid of meeting zongzi, do you understand?"

"Understood..." I replied, whether it is Tufuzi or Captain Mojin, the more you go into the tomb, the easier it is to encounter zongzi. The risk of meeting zongzi is not small, but at the same time, the benefits are also very high.So in order to deal with zongzi, countless people in this industry have figured out a method since ancient times. That's why Lao Yan said that he was both afraid and not afraid.

"It's just that I feel creepy when I think that the Queen might still be alive." I opened my mouth and found my voice after a while. I can't imagine a woman who has lived for thousands of years, no, what a monster would be like.

Lao Yan patted me on the shoulder and said that my reaction was normal when I came into contact with these things for the first time, and it was important to find the exit quickly, after all, we had to get the ancient mirror before Yu Chengze.

"I don't know what happened to the poisonous snakes?" I dismissed the absurd thoughts in my mind, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Ever since they were scattered by the giant human-faced monster, it is unknown if they have encountered any danger.

Lao Yan reassured me, saying that in this kind of ancient tomb, the blind man is completely at ease, even if nothing is found, self-protection is always no problem.

I nodded: "Okay, then find the exit!"

Lao Yan was originally interrupted by me to find the exit, but now that I no longer think about it, he started working hard again.

I glanced at the mural again, then stood in the center of the hall, and slowly looked at the entire hall.

The two sides are where the guests sit during the banquet, and the space in the middle should be used for performances, so what about the queen?
I slowly walked forward, there was a staircase, and if I went up, it should be the queen's throne, but there was nothing here, it was empty.

"Where did you go?"

I muttered something, squatted down and touched the place where the throne should have been.

click...

A soft sound came, and I was a little stunned, and then realized that the sound came from under my hands.

"Lao Yan, I found something!" I hurriedly yelled, and Lao Yan not far away immediately ran over and asked me what I found.

I pointed to the place where the sound came from: "There was a sound just now."

Lao Yan quickly asked me why it made the sound, so I showed him a demonstration and touched the place again.

clack clack...

This time the noise was more pronounced.

Lao Yan quickly lay down on the ground and tapped the ground with his fingers. Sure enough, as the frequency of his tapping became higher, the clicking sound became more and more obvious.

"What's that sound?"

I frowned. At first I thought there was some mechanism, but after waiting for a long time, there was no other sound except this sound, so I was stunned for a while.

Lao Yan's face was serious, and he didn't reply, just kept knocking.And I noticed that he tapped very regularly, and as he tapped regularly, the clicking sound at the bottom became more and more regular, as if catering to him.

After a while, Lao Yan got up: "The blind man and the others are below."

"What?" I suspected that I had heard it wrong, but seeing Lao Yan's anxious expression on his face, I knew he wasn't joking.

I took out the crowbar from my backpack, and said, what's the trouble? There may not be a mechanism here, so just pry it open?

Unexpectedly, Lao Yan snatched my crowbar with a panicked face: "No! We don't know what's going on underneath. If there are any organs, if we touch them, we will probably bury them. Look around, Since the bottom is empty, there must be a mechanism."

Seeing him like this, I didn't dare to mess around, I touched the ground from time to time, and then I thought of something, so I made a movement: I pretended that there was a throne here, so I sat down, and then slowly touched the ground with my hands ...

"Yes!" Sure enough, after a while, I touched a fingernail-sized bump. It was said that the bump was actually a little higher than the ground. If I didn't touch it with my hands, I couldn't see it at all.

"Lao Yan, can I press it?" I asked and looked at Lao Yan.

Lao Yan came over, knocked on the ground first, then nodded at me: "I told them, press it."

I took a deep breath and pressed down slowly.

With the sound of clicking, the bricks under the throne slowly moved away, and then I saw that the old smoke in front of me was getting shorter and shorter--I forgot that I was still sitting on the throne!
"Chang'an!"

Lao Yan yelled at me, and grabbed me with his hand.

I glanced down, only to see that the bottom was dark, and I tentatively called out: "Blind man?"

"Chang'an?"

The blind man replied, and after I responded, I clearly felt that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed his face again: "The poisonous snake is injured, come down quickly!"

"You turn on the flashlight, I can't see," I yelled at him, and he patted his head and said he'd overlooked it, and then I heard a rustling sound, and the flashlight came on.

The bottom is actually not high, I let Lao Yan let go of me, and jumped down, and then Lao Yan followed.

This should be the place where the queen takes refuge. It's not a big place, but it has everything you need. There are even a lot of holes around it. Fortunately, I didn't use a crowbar to pry it around.

"What hurt the snake?"

I hurriedly looked around and asked the blind man.

The blind man's expression was not very good, and he led us to the corner of the secret room. I followed and saw the poisonous snake, and then my expression changed.

The poisonous snake was leaning against the corner with its eyes closed, apparently unconscious. He was covered in blood, and for a while he couldn't see where he was injured, only from his pale face, he could see that he was very bad.

"Where did you get injured?" I hurriedly asked, judging by the amount of blood, the wound should still be bleeding, and it must be stopped in time.I want to ask why the blind man didn't show him his wounds, but now is not the time to worry about it.

The blind man's complexion became even worse: "The whole body."

"What do you mean?" I widened my eyes.

The blind man said nah, "I don't know either. When we were forced into a passage by the monster with a human face, he yelled, and it happened suddenly. I don't know what happened to him. He didn't say anything at first. , He didn’t tell me until later that his whole body started to bleed, I knew he couldn’t move, so I wanted to find a place for him to see, but who knew that I entered here by accident, and couldn’t get out after that.”

The blind man said that he felt around the bottom, but he couldn't find the entrance where they came in. The poisonous snake couldn't move, so he could only wait here. Fortunately, he just heard the sound from above.

"Aren't you afraid it's Yu Chengze?" Lao Yan asked while checking the poisonous snake's wound.

The blind man said indifferently: "Even if it is him, as long as there is an exit, there is always hope."

"How?" I asked anxiously.

Lao Yan said with a dark face that the condition was quite bad. Although it was not that there were wounds all over the body, it was not too bad. In just a short time of his inspection, he saw at least five wounds on his shoulders, abdomen, and arms.

"This wound is very strange, as if it was pierced by something, but blind man, you have been with him all the time, how could he be the only one injured?"

Lao Yan raised his head and glanced at the blind man, who hurriedly said, "I don't know, there seems to be something in that passage."

"Blind man." Lao Yan interrupted the blind man: "What are you afraid of?"
