"Use this?"
Bai Ye looked at the small sign in Zhuge Qingyang's hand, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the stone pillar.
When he got closer, he found that there was a groove on the top of the stone pillar, and its shape was almost exactly the same as the small sign in Zhuge Qingyang's hand.
“It really is a key.”
Bai Ye blinked and looked at the stone house isolated by the pond.
"Damn, this is really safe."
"Put it up."
Zhuge Qingyang handed the small sign to Xiao Chen.
"I'll observe and be able to respond if anything happens."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, he slowly pressed the small sign into the groove at the top of the stone pillar.
When the small sign fell into the groove, a "clicking" sound was heard, and the stone pillar actually began to rotate slowly.
Xiao Chen took a step back and looked around, fearing that there might be some hidden weapon.
However, since the small tag is a key, the possibility of it being a mechanism or hidden weapon is very small.
Zhuge Qingyang, who was standing next to him, was also staring at the stone pillar to see the direction of its rotation.
Click!
The stone pillar stopped.
"No more?"
Bai Ye saw the stone pillar stop and looked around, but there seemed to be no other reaction.
"Could it be that it has fallen into disrepair and is broken?"
"Don't be such a jinx."
Xiao Chen was annoyed.
As they were talking, they heard a sound coming from the pond.
Then, something seemed to be boiling in the middle of the pond and slowly rose up.
"This is……"
The attention of Xiao Chen and others was all attracted.
Soon, stone steps rose from the bottom of the pond, above the water surface, and were half a meter high.
"this……"
Xiao Chen and others were all surprised when they saw this scene.
This kind of mechanism has only been seen in ancient movies and TV dramas in the past, and is never seen in daily life.
Only the brother and sister Zhuge Qingyang and Zhuge Qingxi were not considered surprising.
The Zhuge family is a family of formations, and families of formations are often also well versed in mechanisms and the like.
Various mechanical techniques are also available in the Zhuge family.
"Can we go now?"
Feng Manlou looked at the steps and asked Zhuge Qingyang.
"Yes, but it's best to wait until the water dries up. This water is quite toxic."
Zhuge Qingyang nodded and said.
"If you want the water to dry up, that's easy."
After the Fire God finished speaking, he raised his hand and several fireballs formed in front of him.
Under his control, the fireball floated slowly and flew up the stone steps.
Soon, under the fireball, the water on the stone steps was evaporated.
Just as the fireball was evaporating water, there was movement in the pond again. The strange fish seemed to be stimulated and jumped out of the pond, trying to swallow the fireball.
The scene of more than a dozen strange fish jumping out at once was quite shocking.
Especially their mouths, with long teeth and three eyes, look a bit creepy.
"Dare to swallow the fireball? I'll burn you to death."
The God of Fire sneered and shrunk one of the fireballs, which was just swallowed by a strange fish.
The moment the strange fish swallowed the fireball into its stomach, the fireball exploded directly under the control of the God of Fire.
Hiss!
After the strange fish made a strange cry, it plunged into the pond and soon turned belly up.
"Killed him just like that?"
Bai Ye was surprised. Looking at their ferocious appearance, they must be very powerful.
The other strange fish seemed to understand the power of the fireball and realized that it was not edible food, so they dived into the water.
"I'll go first."
Xiao Chen was worried. When someone walked up the stone steps, the strange fish in the pond jumped out of the water and was the first to walk forward.
"Be careful."
Suddenly, three voices sounded from different directions.
After hearing these three voices, the scene suddenly became quiet and everyone's eyes began to wander.
"Ah? Oh, I see."
Xiao Chen was also stunned. He looked at Zhuge Qingxi, Nangong Ling and...Black Widow in turn, feeling a little confused.
Zhuge Qingxi didn't expect that Nangong Ling and Black Widow would also remind her. Her pretty face blushed and she lowered her head.
Nangong Ling had a blank expression and a cold face, but there was a hint of something strange in the depths of his eyes.
Black Widow was the most calm. She glanced at Nangong Ling and Zhuge Qingxi, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What a great luck with women."
The God of Fire also looked at the three women, feeling a little envious.
"Don't be envious. Your luck with love is too good. It can easily turn into a disaster."
Feng Manlou whispered.
"Hmm... a peach blossom disaster? If there really is such a disaster, then let me experience it."
Vulcan was serious.
“…”
Feng Manlou was speechless.
"Well, I'm going up."
Xiao Chen also felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. He coughed dryly and stepped onto the stone steps.
As he stepped onto the stone steps, he threw all those messy thoughts out of his mind and instead paid full attention, always alert to his surroundings.
What he was most worried about was that these strange fish would jump up.
Even if you can't bite him, it would be troublesome if the water splashed on you.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, lightened his body, and took the second step.
The stone steps were very solid and there was no shaking at all when Xiao Chen stepped on them, which made him feel more at ease.
Xiao Chen took one step at a time and soon reached the middle of the pond.
He looked down and saw no movement in the pond. Except for the strange fish that had just been burned to death by the fireball, the other strange fish had disappeared. They must be hiding under the water.
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, quickened his pace, and came to the stone house.
"You can come over here, but go slowly and be careful."
Xiao Chen turned around and spoke to Bai Ye and others.
Swish!
A white shadow flashed by, and Nangong Ling was seen holding a sword in one hand, tapping the stone steps with her toes. She was dressed in white and walked quickly across the stone steps and landed next to Xiao Chen.
"What an amazing light body technique."
Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Ling and flattered her.
“…”
Nangong Ling ignored Xiao Chen and turned around to look at the slightly rustic stone house.
"Let's go over there too."
Bai Ye and others also came over one after another, but the subordinates of the God of Fire and the Scorpion were left on the periphery, alert to the surroundings.
"Let's go in."
Xiao Chen came to the stone door and pushed it gently.
Click~
As he pushed gently, the stone door slowly opened inward, making a friction sound.
When the stone door opened, a musty smell came out.
Xiao Chen and others did not go in immediately, but waited for a while before going in.
After entering, Xiao Chen and others looked around.
It looked very ordinary, with a futon on the ground.
However, because it was so long ago, the futon had weathered. When it came into contact with fresh air and was blown by the wind, it slowly cracked.
"It looks like no one has been here for a long time."
Bai Ye looked at the broken futon and said.
"Well, Old Man Xia said that it was his ancestor's business. It was his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather... It's been hundreds of years."
Xiao Chen nodded, feeling a little excited.
If I’m not mistaken, this should be the place where Old Man Xia’s ancestors stayed!
"There's a row of bookshelves over there..."
Suddenly, the God of Fire said.
Hearing what the God of Fire said, Xiao Chen walked over quickly and saw a simple wooden shelf against the wall. It was filled with books and looked quite old.
Xiao Chen reached out and touched it, and the book broke and turned into decay.
Xiao Chen loosened his hand and shook his head. It looked like a lot of books, but in fact they were all ruined... They would break if touched.
If these are the Xia family's inheritance, then the Xia family's inheritance will also be broken.
"I guess the ancestor of the Xia family didn't expect that no one would come here for hundreds of years."
Bai Ye came over, took a look and said.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If it is really the Xia family inheritance, it would be a pity."
"Brother Xiao, come here!"
In the distance, Zhuge Qingyang shouted to Xiao Chen.
"Um?"
Hearing Zhuge Qingyang's words, Xiao Chen stepped forward quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"Something left behind from the parchment scroll has been preserved."
Zhuge Qingyang pointed at the table and said to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen bent down and gently picked up the parchment scroll, only to see a lot of words written on it.
Although it was in traditional Chinese, it was not a reading problem for Xiao Chen, so he read it carefully.
After reading just two lines, he understood that this parchment scroll was left for the descendants of the Xia family, and it was said that it should be kept here forever.
Obviously, the ancestor of the Xia family also wanted to prevent accidents, such as no one from the Xia family coming in, or someone coming in a long time... So, he left this and explained some things.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen finished reading the parchment scroll and looked thoughtful.
"Brother Chen, what did you write?"
Bai Ye was curious.
"It's similar to what old man Xia said. His ancestor followed a powerful person... After that powerful person discovered this space, he left his inheritance here, waiting for the destined person! But the powerful person had no descendants. After the ancestor of the Xia family left, he planned to let the descendants of the Xia family guard this place and wait for the destined person to come."
Xiao Chen explained.
"However, the ancestor of the Xia family said that it is not that easy to obtain the inheritance of a powerful being, and it will be dangerous."
"Danger? Is this a test?"
Bai Ye guessed.
"It's not a test, it should be a real danger."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Did you mention the Wolf King's Order?"
The Fire God also asked.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"The information left on it is not much, and it is similar to what Old Man Xia said... However, he said that he has collected part of the Xia family's inheritance, and he is afraid of losing the inheritance."
"It's been recorded? Where is it?"
Bai Ye asked.
"If we can really find the Xia family inheritance, it will be considered as fulfilling Old Man Xia's wish."
"Well, the stone house has a basement."
As Xiao Chen spoke, his eyes fell on the stone ball next to the stone platform.
He placed his right hand on the stone ball and twisted it gently. The stone floor, which originally seemed to have no gaps, suddenly opened to both sides.
"The Xia family's inheritance is right below."
"Shall we go down then?"
"Well, let's go down and take a look."
Xiao Chen nodded and handed the parchment scroll to Zhuge Qingyang.
There were some things he didn't mention just now, such as about this space, and he also mentioned some formations.
It’s not that I’m hiding it from others, but it’s useless to tell them. I’d better leave this to Zhuge Qingyang.
Zhuge Qingyang took it, but didn't look at it immediately, but held it in his hand.
He was also somewhat interested in this basement.
"God of Fire, throw a small fireball in and try it."
Xiao Chen said to the God of Fire out of caution.
