Chapter 140: behind the stone gate
Chapter 140 Behind the Stone Gate
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Ruan Youqing and the others heard the footsteps coming from the gap getting closer, Li Yi...he was about to get ready.
After Ruan Youqing looked around the surrounding environment again, her face became more and more gloomy.
After Li Yi came down, he would definitely want to search here to confirm safety. So even though they were hiding in the shadows, if the other party wanted to search...they still couldn't hide.
Li Yi's early arrival did not leave them a chance to be one step ahead of him. So...Since you can't hide, in order to avoid being discovered by him, you can only...pretend to be injured and meet him...
However, just when Ruan Youqing was about to take out something from his bosom, the stone door suddenly and silently opened slowly from the middle.
Ruan Youqing turned his back to Shimen at this time, so naturally he didn't notice it.
Gu Changan and the others who were facing Shimen were shocked.
Seeing that everyone looked wrong, Ruan Youqing quickly realized and turned around.
"Do you want to come in?" Li Qian whispered nervously.
"The Shimen opens by itself...it's somewhat weird. We might as well...wait for Li Yi to come down." Gu Changan was squinting his eyes and looking inside the Shimen.
There is darkness inside the stone gate, and there are too many unknowns in the depths of the darkness, making people dare not move forward at will.
After listening, Ruan Youqing nodded in agreement and said, "If Li Yi comes down and sees the stone gate opened, he will definitely be impatient and want to go in. Let's just wait and see what happens."
If it was just now, she was still worried that Li Yi would carefully search around after he got down.
But this stone door suddenly opened...
He must be worried about someone getting there first.
So, they are safe by hiding in the dark.
At this moment, a faint light came down from the stone steps.
Ruan Youqing and the others held their breath for an instant, and shrank their bodies in the dead corner behind the stone steps.
Unless someone walks behind the stone steps with a torch, no one will notice this place at all.
Sure enough, after Li Yi came down, his voice trembled when he saw the stone gate open: "This...this stone gate...opened? How could it... how could it have opened an hour earlier!"
"Your Highness, the time engraved on the stone gate is not accurate to the exact hour, and this hour is also calculated by ourselves... so we shouldn't worry too much about this hour..."
Li Yi walked a few steps forward a little excitedly, but stopped suddenly, then pointed to a guard beside him and said coldly, "Go ahead and explore the way."
The guard held back his timidity and could only walk towards the stone gate in response.
Everyone stared intently at the guard's back as it gradually disappeared into the darkness, and no one said a word first.
Just as Li Yi's expression became more and more gloomy, a light suddenly lit up in the dark place inside the stone gate, and then that person's slightly excited voice sounded:
「Your Highness! There is a long passage inside! There is no danger!」
"Okay, okay!" After Li Yilian said three good times, he finally couldn't hold back, and led people to walk into the stone gate, but when he got to the stone gate, he turned his head and ordered a few people to stay here to guard, Only then continued to move forward.
Ruan Youqing and the others gradually slowed down their breathing when they saw the fire light Li Yi was carrying completely disappear into the stone gate.
At this time, there are still seven or eight guards guarding the stone gate.
When Ruan Youqing looked at Gu Changan, before he said anything to him, he nodded with a clear expression.
After the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, Ruan Youqing made a gesture towards Fan'er.
At the same time, Gu Changan also gestured for the reason.
Three figures rushed out in an instant, and the few people who stayed at the stone gate fell down before they could react.
Li Qian and Yu Xie looked calm.
The reason why the two were ordered to protect the two opened their mouths in shock.
"This... this... Is this Miss Ruan's master and servant so powerful?" Gan Gu couldn't help asking in a low voice.
Li Qian patted him on the shoulder, and replied to him in a earnest tone: "Just get used to it, the amazing...is yet to come."
After Ruan Youqing and the other three dealt with these people, they immediately waved at them, signaling to follow them quickly.
So, after Li Yi led people into the stone gate, Ruan Youqing and others also walked in.
Sure enough, behind the stone gate is a long passage.
The other end of the passage is hidden in darkness.
Ruan Youqing cheered up and walked forward cautiously. At this time, they not only had to be careful of hidden weapons, but also be careful of Li Yi and others who came in first.
"Don't touch the wall casually, there may be some mechanism on the wall." Yu Xie kindly reminded, but just as he finished speaking, he heard a click, the sound of another mechanism.
"Who... who touched the wall!" Yu Xie growled in a low voice annoyed.
"I... I seem to have stepped on a different floor tile..." Gan Gu whispered aggrievedly at this time.
Everyone remained motionless in panic, but the imaginary hidden weapon did not come out of the wall.
Ruan Youqing frowned and looked at Gan Gu's feet.
This guy... actually stepped on a stone brick with patterns carved on it.
Actually, after they entered through the stone gate, they saw quite a few of these stone bricks. Everyone stayed away from this special stone brick with a respectful mentality, but they stepped on it for some reason.
If he hadn't believed in Gu Changan's vision, Ruan Youqing would almost have suspected that this incident was sent by the enemy on purpose.
At this time, Gu Changan's face was also very gloomy. After glancing coldly at the reason, he said quietly, "Let Tianwen follow next time."
"Master..." Gan Gu explained with a look of tears on his face, "This subordinate just... just saw that this flower is so beautiful... just wanted to... step on it..."
"Pretty good?" Ruan Youqing suddenly remembered the Prisoner's Dream flower on the stone gate, and then looked at Gan Gu's feet, and found that the pattern engraved on the stone brick seemed to be the Prisoner's Dream flower.
Although it is engraved on the floor tiles, the lifelike appearance... really makes people...
Ruan Youqing woke up suddenly when she realized that she also wanted to step on it, and then unceremoniously clenched her hand into a fist and hit her chest hard, she immediately said in a cold voice:
「The one engraved on that brick is also the Prison Dream Flower! Stop staring at it!」
After everyone listened, they all raised their heads and looked forward as if facing a formidable enemy.
This is the final resting place of King Nanjing...
It's really dangerous...
"That...Master...do I want to let go of my foot..." Gan Gu continued to speak weakly. At this time, he was still stepping on the stone brick, not daring to let go easily.
"Try to loosen it slowly..." Gu Changan ordered in a deep voice.
Following Gan Gu's movements, the others held their breaths and watched the movement around them.
It wasn't until the reason was completely released and nothing happened that everyone slowly relaxed their tense nerves.
When they continued to walk a certain distance, they found a stone chamber appeared in front of them.
And when Ruan Youqing turned around and was about to speak, he discovered...
Among them... one person was missing!
Li Qian disappeared suddenly at some point!
