Chapter 275 Five Mysterious Patterns
When Lu Ping changed his job for the first time, he found a hermit with disheveled hair in the cliff cave in Harmondale to accept the task. Later, he went to find him. The cave was empty, and he searched the entire cave, only to find a few unintelligible patterns .Now the set of patterns that Lu Ping saw at the bottom of the fountain in the central square of Stone City was very similar to the ones seen in the cliff cave, so he felt familiar.

At the beginning, Lu Ping had recorded that group of patterns in the memo of the adventure log. After opening the adventure log and searching for a while, he found it. The first of this group of patterns is a circle, and the second is two arcs crossing each other Form a fish shape, the third is three wavy patterns plus a slash, the fourth is a triangle with two points inside, and the fifth is a swirl pattern, which is a bit like a yin-yang fish.

The pattern on the bottom of the fountain is the third pattern in the memo: three ripples and one slash.

"There must be some secret here!" Lu Ping said excitedly.

"Brother Lu, what are you doing?" The one who stood aside smiled slightly at a loss.

"When I changed my job to Shadow Elder, I found a hermit in the cliff cave in Harmondale, and then he disappeared. I found a set of patterns in the cave, and one of them was the same as the pattern at the bottom of the pool. , there must be some connection here. I suspect that the hermit is a member of the legendary Blind Brotherhood, if my guess is correct, then there must be a huge secret hidden here!"

Slightly smiled and said: "But we have searched this pool before to find the secret door, and there is nothing underneath..."

The vampire treasure merchant said that there is a secret passage entrance near the temple in Stone City, which may be related to the hammer of King Hesfar I. The temple is next to the square, so Lu Ping and others have searched nearby several times, including the fountain pool. pass.

Lu Pingdao: "No, the people who dived into the water last time looking for it were Thirteen Yao and Gelunbu, these patterns are very special to me, but to others they are just decorative patterns, so they didn't find the secret.

"Then let's dive in and have a look?"

"it is good!"

Lu Ping looked around, there was no one around, let alone noticed them, so he immediately jumped into the water and dived.Because Stone City is a neutral city, there is no place suitable for current players to farm monsters in a large area nearby, and there is no large group of people nearby to PK, so the resurrection point is quiet, and it is rare for a person to appear in a few minutes. They all cursed and left immediately, no one paid attention to them at all.

The diameter of the fountain pool is about 12 meters, the center is deep and the periphery is shallow, the shallowest part of the edge is less than one meter, and the deepest part in the middle is about two meters.

The two sneaked to the side of the pattern to have a closer look, but it was a pattern carved on a stone, and there was nothing special about it. Lu Ping pressed his hands a few times and there was no movement, so it didn't look like a mechanism.

Maybe there are other patterns in the pool, Lu Ping gestured to Wei Xiaoxiao, and the two of them swam forward along the edge of the pool.

After turning about 70 degrees, Lu Ping found a circular pattern. If what he saw just now was this circle, Lu Ping would never be suspicious, because circles are so common that they can be seen everywhere.But what he saw before was a pattern of three ripples and a slash, which was rare, so the circle became meaningful, because one of the patterns left by the hermit was a circle!
Swimming further, I found another familiar pattern: a triangle with two dots inside.Continuing to look forward, I found the two patterns of back arcs and the pattern of scroll patterns, and the five patterns left by the hermit happened to be evenly distributed around the bottom of the pool.

But what does this mean?Three waves should represent water, and if you add a slash, then it is not water, either water or soil or stone, um, it represents Stone City, right?The circle is relatively simple, representing the pool; the two arcs intersect each other to form a fish shape, which refers to the fountain, right?What do the two dots inside the triangle represent?And what does the swirl pattern like the yin-yang fish represent?
Lu Ping was thinking wildly and couldn't figure it out. He smiled and couldn't think of a reason. The two swam around the central spring and searched for a long time, but they still didn't find anything. We can't destroy the fountain and dig down, right?
Lu Ping felt a little reconciled, took a breath at the top, and then dived to the edge to look at the five patterns, but after looking at them several times, there was still no gain, and he had no idea what these symbols represented.

"Damn it, you're cheating!" Lu Ping cursed secretly, stomping his foot angrily, just stepped on the triangle pattern with two dots inside, and felt his feet move, as if there was a slight sinking.He couldn't be sure if there was a subsidence, so when the vibrating pool calmed down a bit, he dived to the bottom to have a look... Sure enough, the entire stone slab with the patterns on it dropped by about one centimeter.

Lu Ping had pressed every pattern before, but he didn't use so much force. Unexpectedly, he stomped his foot in disappointment and triggered the mechanism instead.There are still four patterns, which must be pressed to open the secret entrance, and the two immediately split up to step on other patterns.

Lu Ping stepped on a circular pattern, stomped a few times but there was no movement.

"Smile, how is your side? There is no response from my side."

"I didn't respond either. Could it be that I'm not strong enough? Or I stepped on it in the wrong way?"

"I just stomped my foot casually just now, and now I have stomped on more than a dozen feet!"

"Then will we have to step on them in order? Let's step on the other two and try."

"Makes sense!"

At this time, a person revived by the pool, and the two hurriedly dived underwater and did not move. After the person had gone far away, they swam forward again. What Lu Ping found was the pattern of three ripples and a diagonal line that he saw at first.

With a heavy foot step down, there was a soft "crack", and the stone slab sank.

Lu Ping was overjoyed: "My piece has moved!"

After a pause of two seconds, he smiled and said, "There is still no movement on my part, and now I may have to step on the two patterns just now."

The two went back again, and sure enough they stepped on the one with a slight smile, and then stepped on the one on Lu Ping's side, only missing the last pattern: the swirl pattern like a yin-yang fish.

What happens when you step on the last symbol?Is this secret a clue provided by vampire treasure dealer Olmar?Or the base of the fabled Brotherhood of the Blind?Both of them were very curious and excited. When they reached the last pattern, Lu Ping solemnly stepped on the sacred foot...

There was a slight "crack", and the whole stone slab sank slightly, and then there was no movement.

"This..." The two were surprised when suddenly there was a whirlpool at the bottom of the calm pool, and the powerful suction pulled them in instantly.The two of them felt the sky was spinning, and they waved their hands and feet in panic. Fortunately, they grabbed each other, held each other tightly and never separated.

The waves gushed out in the pool, and a group of people tens of meters away were startled. They ran over to see the surprise, but the water in the pool had calmed down. They looked left and right, and there was nothing at the bottom of the water, except for some splashed water stains , as if nothing had happened.

"There are monsters in the water?" They didn't believe in evil, they jumped into the pool and continued to search, but there was still nothing.

So where did Lu Pinghe Weixiao go?

The two felt that they were spinning six or seven times in the air, and then stopped suddenly, and their bodies touched the cold and hard ground, but the dizziness caused by the rapid rotation was still there, and they didn't know where they were for a while.

Gathering his mind, Lu Ping raised his head and looked forward. The light was a little dim, and he could barely see that it was a stone passage. The moss marks on the stone walls showed that there was a long history here.

"Get up quickly!"

The sound of Weixiao smiled from below, and Lu Ping looked down...God, it turned out that he was pressing on her body, and his posture was extremely unsightly: Weixiao was lying on the ground on his back, but he was sitting on her chest, Her face was almost aligned between her legs. It was clearly a picture of a beautiful girl blowing a flute. Why wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Lu Ping hurriedly jumped up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice that I was pressing you.

She got up with a slight smile, her face was flushed, she didn't dare to look up at him: "No, it's okay..."

Now there are only two people, and this situation is the time to speak out, Lu Ping was about to speak, when Hongyue called out in the team channel: "Brother Lu, why don't you speak?"

"Ah, no, it's nothing...what's the matter with you?"

Bingjiling said: "I asked you where we will meet, why have you been silent?"

"Oh, why don't you come to Stone City, many people are waiting here." Lu Ping didn't say anything about the discovery of the secret way. Well, there's no need to let them know about it.

After a few words with his partners, Lu Ping lost his mood at all, and the embarrassment of smiling disappeared.Looking around, there is no other entrance except the forward passage, and there is not even a drop of water, which was pulled in somehow.

Lu Ping shrugged: "Let's go ahead and see what's here."

"it is good!"

Not far from the passage, there is a stone gate that looks very solid. There are five patterns engraved on the stone gate-the five patterns again!

These five patterns are embossed and can obviously be pressed in. There is no doubt that the way to open the stone door is to press these symbols in a specific order.

"There are words on it!" Slightly smiled and pointed to the top of the stone gate.

Lu Ping looked up, and sure enough, it was engraved: "Wrong decision will bring endless punishment!"

The two looked at each other and changed color: "What does this mean?"

In fact, both of them guessed what it meant, that is, every time they press the wrong key, they will be hurt by the trap. As for how terrible the trap is, you can only know it by trying it.

"It must be in the order of the patterns left by the hermit!" Lu Ping said with certainty.

Smiling and nodding vigorously, she believed in his judgment.Seeing that she was so sure, Lu Ping became more confident, and without hesitation, he pressed the patterns one by one in the order they saw in the cliff cave. When the last one was pressed, there was a "rumbling" sound, two times thick. The stone gate of the foot rises upwards, and the dust on the edge "Shuo Shuo" falls down.

"We succeeded, hehe..." Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and laughed loudly, jumping up excitedly.She seldom showed such a young daughter's attitude, and at this time, no one else didn't need to be reserved, and she was happy to reveal her true nature, which was not beautiful and moving.

It's a pity that Lu Ping was also curious and pleasantly surprised at this meeting, so he didn't bother to appreciate it, and walked inside first.The small radar map shows that this place is called "Mysterious Clubhouse".

The passage inside the stone gate is completely different from the outside. The white and smooth stone walls are engraved with all kinds of strange beasts and patterns, all kinds of dragons, demons and many species that have never been seen before. The zenith is not a stone slab, but as deep as the night sky. , dots of starlight flicker and wander, making people feel like they are in the starry sky of the universe.

The floor is also carved with patterns, such as flames, ice crystals, lightning, etc., each of which is different. After counting, there are nine types in total, and there seems to be a certain pattern.

Lu Ping raised his foot but didn't dare to step on it: "These floors are weird, you may have to walk in a specific order."

"Well, I think so too, but in what order?"

Lu Ping shook his head, this is really cheating, without any hint, how can people guess?
He smiled slightly and said, "Let me go first, I have a long life first, and I have a shield to block."

Lu Ping said decisively: "No, I'll try first. I react quickly and have a high chance of dodging."

Slightly smiled and didn't argue anymore, but Lu Ping didn't leave in a hurry, thought for a while, and pressed the silver spider gossamer ring at the top of the front.The passage wasn't very long, and whatever oddities there were on the floor, if he could just fly right through it would be fine.

The thin hairspring flew out, but there was no pulling force, and then the hairspring retracted automatically.Lu Ping was taken aback, there was nothing above his head, not a solid body, so the gossamer didn't touch anything.

If you can't jump, then fly over. Lu Ping took out a scroll of flying thaumaturgy, and was disappointed after seeing it. The scroll of flying thaumaturgy cannot be used, and this kind of magic cannot be used indoors.

Can't fly or jump, well, then just walk over there!

Lu Ping lightly tapped a stone slab with flame patterns in front of him, and there was no adverse effect; he stepped on it with a little more strength, but there was still no movement, it seems that the flame patterns are safe.It is impossible to walk on only one kind of floor, and try the cloud pattern again, but there is no movement.

"Ha ha……"

Lu Ping suddenly burst into laughter, jumped up and down, stomped randomly, and opened his mouth wide with a smile in fright, almost breathless with his hands on his chest, but Lu Ping's wild jumping did not touch any mechanism.

"You... how do you know that there is no mechanism?" Wei Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

"It just occurred to me that the mechanism on these floors is used to prevent 'illegal intruders', and we are legal. If someone discovers the secret passage by accident, but does not know the password sequence on the stone door, it must be If you press the wrong key, it will open the mechanism inside. Even if you guess the correct combination of passwords, it will be very difficult to pass here. There is this "wrong decision will bring endless punishment" written on the stone gate. Meaning, and we didn’t press the wrong button once, which means we are allowed to enter, so all the organs inside have not been activated.”

Slightly smiled and gave him a reproachful look: "Then don't jump around like this, what if you guess wrong? It scared me to death.

Lu Ping stared at her blankly: "I found that you are much more beautiful without a straight face, no, no, I mean you look more beautiful than usual today, beautiful, beautiful... I don't know what words to use to describe it gone."

"Spoof, so you can talk sweetly!" Slightly smiled and was happy, although she pretended to be serious, but there was a sincere smile on her face, which made Lu Ping dumbfounded.

"You are always watching what I do today, hurry up!"

"Okay, let's go. You are so beautiful today, so I kept looking at you." Anyway, if you are poor, then you will be poor.
