"Are Liuying and Qixingzi ready to leave?"
"Everyone has left Piaomiao City one after another, following your instructions," Fu Cheng said. "Yaoguang, however, has not left. After they left the palace, the Xu siblings had a huge argument, apparently over the princess."
"Got it. Go get ready and go to the Aurora Land."
"yes!"
The Aurora Land is on a small island in the center of the ocean.
After Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an landed on the island, they quickly found the cave based on the information displayed by the Qilin Military Talisman.
"Your Highness," Fu Cheng said, "I don't know what the situation is here. You and the princess wait a moment while I go investigate."
"Let's go together." Bei Mingxuan ordered.
"yes."
Fu Cheng walked in front.
Bei Mingxuan held Chang'an tightly and walked in the middle.
The egret was behind Chang'an.
It is pitch dark in this cave. Due to the poor ventilation, a fire starter is of no use here. Once lit, it will be immediately blown out by the wind.
"Bei Mingxuan," Chang'an asked, "where is your night-shining pearl?"
"It's useless. Because of these colorful auroras, the Night Pearl won't light up." Bei Mingxuan explained, "Don't worry, just follow me closely."
"Your Highness, this should be the center of the cave." Fu Cheng looked around. "The space is much larger than before. And the top of our heads is not closed. We can see the stars."
"Look." Chang'an looked at a glowing spot on his waist, where the Qilin military talisman was located.
She took it out from her waist, and sure enough, it was the Qilin military talisman that was glowing, but the light was dim.
Chang'an took the military talisman and moved slowly, and found that as long as he moved, the light of the talisman would become weaker or stronger.
After they walked for a distance, they discovered a pattern.
According to what Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan saw at Lingquan Temple, they saw the clues from the Qilin military talisman and the strength of the light emitted from the military talisman at that time.
As long as the position is the same as the reminder, the light emitted from the military talisman will be strong, otherwise it will be weak.
After about half an hour, they finally arrived at the place they were looking for.
"It's definitely here." Fu Cheng looked carefully. "Your Highness, Princess, I don't understand what the indentations on the stone wall are."
Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an walked towards the location Fu Cheng mentioned.
"It looks very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere." Chang'an looked at the stone wall and recalled carefully.
Bei Mingxuan seemed to be lost in thought. Slowly, his gaze fell on the military token in Chang'an's hand, but it seemed a little different.
Chang'an's gaze followed Bei Mingxuan and also fell on the military token in his hand.
She handed the military token to Bei Mingxuan, "What are you thinking about?"
Bei Mingxuan looked at the military talisman and then at the indentation on the stone wall, and said uncertainly, "Is there any connection between the two?"
"But they're completely different." Fu Cheng looked puzzled. "Your Highness, this dent is square, but this military token is long. Furthermore, this dent is a thin line, but the military token is..."
"Maybe..." Chang'an's voice was filled with obviously suppressed excitement, his eyes shining like stars, "I'm right."
Bei Mingxuan looked at Changan, "?"
"Fu Cheng," Chang'an ordered, "pull the two ends of this military token apart with all your strength."
Fu Cheng took the military order and did as Chang'an said.
But nothing changes anyway.
Looking at this result, doubt appeared in Chang'an's eyes.
"Let me try." Bei Mingxuan didn't ask Chang'an what was going on. He took the military token, changed the other two sides, and pulled it hard outward.
A very light and crisp sound came from the military talisman itself.
A smile appeared on Changan's face, "It seems that I was right."
Bei Mingxuan used his internal strength and finally pulled it slowly.
What was revealed in front of everyone was a piece of exquisite jade, which was exactly square in shape and the same size as the one on the stone wall.
Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an in surprise, "How did you know that?"
"I'm not sure either, I'm just guessing," Chang'an said. "I saw a book about mechanical devices in Bei Ming Ye's mansion before. It had text and pictures. I remembered that it used one thing to trap another, so I wanted to try and see if this military talisman would work the same way. I didn't expect I'd be right."
The words are spoken unintentionally, but the listening is intentional.
Chang'an's words, "In the past, I was in Beiming Ye's mansion," made Beiming Xuan's eyes flash with doubt.
As far as he knew, Chang'an had never left the general's mansion before she got married, let alone been to Bei Mingye's mansion.
"Mechanical engineering?" Bei Mingxuan temporarily put his doubts to himself. "This military talisman is also a kind of mechanical engineering."
As he said this, he looked around.
"Actually, I've always wondered why this black iron military talisman glows under the moonlight." Chang'an looked at the black iron box containing the military talisman. "It turns out it's made of jade. There are actually densely packed small holes on the surface of the black iron. Look."
Bei Mingxuan looked carefully and smiled. "Sure enough, and these small holes are the words that remind us. They are just very small, and it is difficult to see without light."
"I've never asked you how you knew that the military talisman needed to be illuminated by light in Lingquan Temple to reveal its secret."
"Wu Chenzi once said so, but he didn't know whether it was true or not."
Chang'an nodded, she took the jade from Bei Mingxuan's hand and placed it into the concave groove on the stone wall.
The moment it was put up, the whole cave shook slightly and made a heavy sound at the same time.
Seeing this, Bei Mingxuan immediately held Chang'an in his arms and prepared to hide in a safe place.
"Your Highness, Miss, look quickly." Bai Lu looked at the object exposed on the wall in surprise. "There's a note on it."
Wait until Bai Lu finishes speaking.
There was no shaking or sound here. What appeared before my eyes was a square red box that looked extremely ordinary.
However, if you look closely, you will see that the box is surrounded by dense gold threads.
"It's okay." Chang'an came out of Bei Mingxuan's arms, "Go and see what the paper says."
Fu Cheng walked over and took the note off the stone wall. [Next, please choose the question on the stone wall. Remember, once the game begins, there is no turning back. If you choose the wrong answer, everyone will perish. After pressing the start button, please choose within three numbers. If you don't choose, everyone will perish.]
After the note was taken down, the word "Start" was revealed.
These two words are engraved on a square stone, and it is obvious that this stone can be pushed in.
Bei Mingxuan turned to look at Changan for a moment, and said, "You two take the princess away."
"No!" Changan refused.
