Chapter 1054: A critical moment, go!
So, I realized I couldn't do that, so I changed it to questions I didn't know. For example, how would I know what Princess Qingyun looks like? And how would I know about the young master's current situation? I only heard the general idea from you, but I absolutely don't know the details. So you see, as soon as I asked such questions, the other party immediately gave a vague answer.
The ugly slave suddenly realized,
"But I do know what Princess Qingyun is like. I'm also aware of your young master's recent situation. So, when we compare them, her answer immediately seems questionable!"
Steward Lin nodded happily.
But he didn't show any pride, for fear of getting beaten.
After all, the person in front of him was a real master, and he included her without asking for her opinion.
The ugly slave didn't care about these things, and sighed sincerely:
"Old housekeeper, you are indeed a veteran! It's a waste of your talent to be someone else's housekeeper."
Butler Lin smiled. He certainly had his reasons.
The ugly slave said again:
"Aren't you afraid of making a mistake in your judgment? After all, she was leading the way at the time and couldn't afford to be distracted. So, her perfunctory response is understandable."
Steward Lin smiled faintly.
"Who is Master Xuan? She traveled thousands of miles and risked her life to come here for my young master. It's obvious that she..."
"You mean, Master Xuan is interested in your young master?" the ugly slave exclaimed.
Steward Lin was stunned and shook his head quickly.
"No, no! That's not what I meant. I meant that Master Xuan is a person of affection and righteousness... Hey, I mean, Master Xuan must attach great importance to my young master! If that's the case, then why would she be so perfunctory when it comes to matters involving my young master?"
The ugly slave didn't agree with what he heard.
But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.
Whether a person values or does not value another person, the attitude will definitely be different.
"Of course, there's also intuition! She appeared too suddenly, and her behavior after her appearance was too calm. She didn't explain, let alone remind us of anything. This doesn't match my understanding of her."
Butler Lin added another sentence.
The ugly slave simply gave a thumbs up.
"So what should we do next?"
"We can't wander around anymore," Steward Lin mused. "We absolutely can't escape the formation if we do, and we might even end up in another desperate situation. This place is far more complicated than we imagined! Now, we can only wait for Master Xuan. She should already know we've separated. I hope she can find a way to rescue us."
As for the unpleasant smell here, just bear with it. It's better than losing your life.
…
At this time, Jiang Lianzhu was standing in front of a large mound.
Beneath the mound, there was a stone door, surrounded by extremely thick stone walls.
Most of it is located underground.
It's obvious that it was built by humans.
After seeing this kind of building, she knew that she had found the right place.
No one would build a private house here, and set up formations outside.
But how do you open this door?
Jiang Lianzhu recalled various methods of opening the door that she had heard or seen, while looking around for some kind of mechanism.
In her experience, a door like this most likely needs to find its control mechanism before it can be opened, otherwise it would be a waste of effort.
Like a certain legend, shouting "Open Sesame" will make the door open automatically. That is a story, it is impossible in reality.
It’s impossible to have such high-end voice-controlled products these days.
I walked while thinking, but after searching for a long time, I didn't find anything unusual.
She took out a dagger and struck here and there,
No unusual sounds were detected.
Even after poking at the wall dozens of times, nothing unexpected appeared.
Huh?
It’s really strange, what kind of mechanism is hidden so deeply?
Jiang Lianzhu was puzzled. How could she open the door if she couldn't find the mechanism?
This stone door looks extremely hard and thick, and it cannot be broken even if you hit it hard?
Not to mention prying it open, looking at its thickness, and thinking about its weight...
Jiang Lianzhu took the dagger and tried to insert it into the crack of the door.
Maybe the mechanism is in the crack of the door?
The dagger was inserted, and then it was slashed from top to bottom, and there seemed to be no obstruction. In a moment of carelessness, the dagger deviated a little, and the gap in the door was widened a little.
Eh?
Could it be...
Jiang Lianzhu increased the strength of her hands and pushed away with force!
The stone door made a crackling sound and slid open to both sides!
Ahem! Jiang Lianzhu's face flushed.
I glanced around and luckily, there was no one else there!
Who built this?
Why don't you lock your door? Aren't you afraid of thieves breaking in?
This is outrageous!
The door opened,
There was also a path, but she didn't dare to enter.
It was very dark inside, but fortunately, the air was not too bad and there was no pungent smell.
The door is fine, but who knows if there is any problem with this underground corridor?
The best way, of course, is to find someone to go through it and experience all the dangers.
But there is no second person here.
This question was not difficult for Jiang Lianzhu, a wizard.
She pulled out a puppet.
This is made of old locust wood and has talismans engraved on it. The workmanship is not exquisite, but it is not unfair to say that it is shoddy.
It was something Jiang Lianzhu had made casually when she was exploring witchcraft, and she hadn't taken it too seriously.
But now, it's going to come in handy.
She held the puppet, thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, bit her index finger, and let three drops of blood drip onto the puppet.
One drop on the head and one drop on each leg.
As the spell she silently chanted rang out softly, the blood instantly seeped into the wood, and the runes carved on it lit up for a moment, then went out.
Jiang Lianzhu continued to move, slapping the puppet on the head with one palm and scolding softly.
"Urgently summon the law, and put all your weight on the line. Go!"
The puppet made a loud bang, and its body seemed to be burdened with a hundred-pound weight. The puppet, which was only slightly bigger than the palm of a hand, stepped into the tunnel with heavy steps!
Of course, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't give it a thousand pounds of strength, but more than a hundred pounds was no problem, which was about the same as a human's weight, and that was enough.
The puppet moves forward slowly and steadily.
Jiang Lianzhu was distracted while trying to control the situation while paying close attention to the movements around her.
“Crack!”
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
This time it was not beyond her expectations. When the puppet stepped on a square brick, countless sharp arrows suddenly shot down from the walls on both sides!
Fortunately, she was prepared and tried her best to control the puppet to dodge left and right.
The puppet was too small, so it was easy to dodge. In the end, it was only slightly hit by one of the arrows.
A small piece of veneer was taken away, no big deal.
Jiang Lianzhu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued to direct the puppet forward.
Then, we encountered several waves of similar attacks.
Some of them also carry venom, hidden weapons and other attacks.
Fortunately, her puppet is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. As long as it does not fall apart, it can get up and continue to move forward!
finally,
