Chapter 141 Organ opening
In such an extremely quiet environment, people will subconsciously choose to remain silent. Therefore, when Ruan Youqing and his party continued to walk forward, several people did not speak to communicate, for fear of missing some subtle voices because of speaking.
Therefore, everyone did not notice Li Qian's disappearance in time.
It wasn't until Ruan Youqing found the stone room and turned around to talk to them that he realized that there was one person missing among them.
"Where's Li Qian?" Gu Changan turned around and found few people, and his expression became extremely serious in an instant.
"Let's go back and look for it." Although he doesn't have a deep friendship with the second prince, Ruan Youqing can tell that Gu Changan actually cares about him.
Therefore, without much communication, Gu Changan understood Ruan Youqing's intentions with just a glance.
Therefore, when Gu Changan looked at Ruan Youqing, his cold eyes instantly softened: "Then...you follow me closely."
Ruan Youqing nodded, and took the initiative to hold his hand.
However, after they turned around and walked some distance, they never saw the stone gate when they just came in...
"It stands to reason that we should have arrived at the stone gate, but why...the stone gate...has disappeared..." Ruan Youqing clenched Gu Changan's hand a little helplessly, and after feeling him gently pinch her palm, Ruan Youqing gradually It calmed down the obvious irritability he had just had.
Yu Xie's expression at this time seemed calm among the few people. After looking at the surrounding walls and floor tiles, he said slowly:
「What happened just now...I still stepped on the trap.」
"Ah? But... But there is no hidden weapon attacking us in this passage!" Gan Gu frowned, looking at a loss.
Yu Xie only glanced at him indifferently, and continued: "The agency doesn't only control hidden weapons, it can also control other things. For example..."
"You mean... the original intention of the institutions here is not to attack us... but... to change our... position?" Ruan Youqing boldly guessed.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Second Prince may have been taken to another place by the wall." As he spoke, Yu Xie boldly knocked on a wall next to him.
"Is the wall empty?"
"That's right, the mechanism here is very ingenious, and it's silent when activated. We... have to be extremely careful."
"Then what shall we do next?" Fan'er tightly grasped Ruan Youqing's sleeve, her eyes filled with horror.
She is most afraid of this invisible and intangible thing.
It's better to let some people directly fight with her.
Gu Changan looked back at the passage, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back and have a look."
Sure enough, everyone turned around and walked back.
I found out...the stone room I met just now is also gone.
In its place was yet another stone wall.
Ruan Youqing stared at the wall, frowning.
She hasn't encountered the place Li Yi took her to in her previous life until now. But what she is encountering now is something she has never encountered in her previous life.
So... Does Li Yi know something... Through the method here...
Past life and present life...
Ruan Youqing's eyes suddenly flashed a gleam of light, and she suddenly realized...Li Yi from the previous life...
Already have Yu Xie's help! And the reason why he was able to pass these unscathed... seems to be relying on Yu Xie!
And Yu Xie is hers now!
Ruan Youqing, who had figured it out, suddenly became clear, and when she looked up again, she looked at Yu Xie with unconcealed excitement.
「Yu Xie...do you have a way to lead us through here?」
Yu Xie didn't respond in a hurry, but walked back and forth a few steps in the corridor.
"Go back again." Before Ruan Youqing and the others could respond, Yu Xie turned his head and walked back first.
This time, Gangu honestly didn't interrupt again. Gu Changan firmly held Ruan Youqing's hand.
After they walked back for a certain distance, they finally stopped under a stone wall.
Yu Xie stopped in front of the stone wall, seeming to be muttering something.
Before Ruan Youqing heard what he said, Yu Xie put his hand on a certain stone.
"The stones engraved with the Prisoner's Dream Flower just now actually have a certain pattern. They are staggered by one square on the left and right, and ten squares apart from the front and back. And if you look closely at the wall bricks, you can see that there are a few pieces that are slightly lighter in color. "
"Then...how did you find the corresponding wall tiles and floor tiles? I guess even if it's because of it, I probably don't remember which one I stepped on." Ruan Youqing couldn't help asking curiously.
Yu Xie glanced at her, and replied seriously: "It's because... this rule comes from an ancient book, and the ancient book mentioned where the key point of this arrangement is. So... I guessed that the king of Nanjing also put the setting of the mechanism over here."
"Guess...guess?" Ruan Youqing turned pale.
Yu Xie nodded calmly: "If you want to find a way to survive in a dead end, you not only need to know something, bold guesses often determine survival."
Ruan Youqing's expression gradually became stiff, and he looked at Gu Chang'an dumbfounded.
Gu Changan didn't change his expression: "Yu Xie has already pressed that stone brick, we might as well continue walking." Saying this, Gu Changan turned his head and glanced at Qiangu.
It's just that he hasn't spoken yet, so he immediately tensed his back and said seriously: "Master, don't worry! This subordinate will definitely not step on things again!"
After getting the guarantee of the cause, everyone walked forward again.
It was just a passage, so they tossed back and forth several times.
Ruan Youqing began to feel a little anxious, she was afraid that she might miss something if she was a little late.
Fortunately, this time... they finally saw the stone chamber again.
And when everyone entered the stone room, they actually saw Li Qian who had just disappeared.
"You... you are not behind us? Why did you come in first? We thought you were missing!" Gu Changan frowned and walked in front of Li Qian, his worry was palpable.
Li Qian was still at a loss, until he saw Gu Changan and others suddenly appearing, he actually looked like he wanted to cry:
"I... I was indeed walking behind you just now! But...but as I was walking, I suddenly felt something slipped on my feet, so I looked down at my shoes, and when I looked up again, you disappeared It disappeared, the road ahead turned into a stone wall, but an identical road appeared on my left side. I couldn't find you...I could only **** my way forward, and walked to this stone room , and when I wanted to go out...the stone room suddenly closed...then...I sat here and waited and waited. The stone room suddenly opened again, and then...you came in."
After Li Qian finished speaking, Ruan Youqing and the others gradually understood what happened just now.
There seems to be only one passage here, but in fact, there is another passage secretly manipulated by an organization.
Li Qian, who was at the end, was one step late, the mechanism had already been opened, and then he was taken to another passage, while the passage taken by Ruan Youqing, Gu Changan and others turned into a dead end.
If Yu Xie hadn’t discovered it, they might have been trapped to death on this road with stone walls at both ends.
And just now... when they left, they didn't find anyone else there...
So this may explain... Li Yi and the others did not step on this trap.
Ruan Youqing's eyes darkened, feeling very unhappy.
However, what Ruan Youqing didn't know was that Li Yi and his party did not go smoothly as she imagined.
Instead... there have been casualties.
