Chapter 114 Red Jade Ring 21
She groped in the purse she was carrying and found another fire pocket, which was wrapped with a layer of waterproof oil paper: "I knew that a fire pocket was needed when I came to Xuanguang Tomb, and I prepared this extra one to prevent encounters like this. conditions, or torrential rain.”

After all, the fire folder lit up. It should be a reassuring thing to regain the light, but Ji Henian was stunned.

Not only him, Han Chu and Tian Yao also had different expressions.

The cloth covering Lingyao's face has disappeared, her wet hair is tightly attached to her cheeks as white and tender as milk, and her wet clothes outline a graceful figure.Her fairy-like face was like a bright light, instantly illuminating this moment when life and death were uncertain.

Han Chu clenched his fist silently, and he noticed Ji Henian's eyes.This matter is his selfishness.

He knew exactly how beautiful Lingyao's face was, and he didn't know why, but he just didn't want others to see it.

So he fooled her into wearing a veil, but unexpectedly she was swept away by the water.

For Tianyao, who is also a woman, the moment she saw Lingyao, she knew that she had lost.

"Palace Master Shen..." Ji Henian took off his outer shirt and wrapped it around her body. He was lean, strong and tall, and Ling Yao didn't look short, but the clothes on her body seemed like It's like a child secretly wearing an adult's clothes.

"Thank you." Ling Yao smiled.

Han Chu kept silent, stood up and said, "Why did you fall into the water when you stepped on the third pillar? What's the mystery behind this pillar?"

Lingyao rolled up her wide sleeves and said, "I have a guess, but I need to test it."

As she spoke, she took out the small porcelain bottle that had helped Han Chu and Tianyao wake up in the small town from her purse, and said, "Everyone, get behind the door!"

Seeing that everyone had left the first pillar connected to the door, Lingyao threw the small porcelain bottle in her hand onto the second pillar, and the second pillar was "stepped on" by the small porcelain bottle, just like the third pillar. Like a pillar, it fell all of a sudden.

"It seems that if you want to step on a pillar, someone must step on the previous pillar." Ji Henian said.

"No wonder each of the pillars is getting narrower than the last." Tianyao also said, "So that's why."

"Now that you know what to do, let's start." Han Chu said, "Brother Ji, you stay on this first pillar."

"Okay." Ji Henian agreed without hesitation. Before coming to Huxin Island, he had already seen that his lightness kung fu was the worst among the four.

Ji Henian stayed on the first pillar, and the second pillar was safe. The three of Lingyao performed lightness kung fu and landed on the second pillar safely.

Tianyao remained on the second pillar, while Han Chu and Lingyao performed lightness kung fu and went to the third pillar.

The third pillar can only ensure that one person can stand on both feet. Han Chu stood up first, but Ling Yao had no place to stay, so she hesitated on the second pillar.

"Su Yao, don't worry, I can catch you." Han Chu said.

Lingyao didn't hesitate when she heard that, she said "yes", then performed lightness kung fu and walked towards Han Chu.

Han Chu immediately caught her. For some reason, he always felt a little shy when he held her in his arms.

The lights of Huozhezi were dim and small, and Lingyao couldn't see Han Chu's expression clearly, so she said, "Han Chu, I'm stepping on your palm for a while, and I can't use my strength. I need your help."

"Okay." Han Chu's usual indifferent voice came from the darkness, a little hoarse, Lingyao didn't notice it.

Stepping on Han Chu's palm and relying on Han Chu's arm strength, Lingyao jumped up and landed safely on the last pillar.

She illuminated the wall in front of her, and found that it turned out to be a mural, in which was a person, with the word "Xuanguang" written next to it.

But Xuan Guangming was clearly a swordsman, but the person in this portrait was wearing gold and silver, and a jade crown inlaid with gemstones. He didn't look like a martial artist, but a prince, general, or even...an emperor.

It seems that this is the wish of the prime minister to his benefactor, wishing him to be prosperous, rich and powerful in the next life.

But after searching for a long time, she didn't see the box, so she wondered, "What's the matter? I didn't see that box."

Han Chu responded, "Is there an agency near here?"

Lingyao searched carefully and said, "I didn't see anything with any mechanism..."

Halfway through her speech, she stopped abruptly, and instead shouted: "Tian Yao, quickly hand over that tourmaline!"

"Why?!" Tian Yao questioned.

"This wall is a mural, and the jewel in the center of the jade crown on the head of the mural is the tourmaline!" Ling Yao said.

Tianyao stood on the second pillar, looked towards Lingyao from a long distance, and shouted: "Put the torch over there, let me see!"

Lingyao was speechless, but did as she did.

Although they are far away, Tianyao is a martial arts practitioner with sharp eyes and ears.She looked at it and made sure that Lingyao did not lie to deceive her tourmaline, so she threw the tourmaline to Han Chu: "Han Chu, take it!"

"Okay." Han Chu agreed, took the tourmaline, and then gave it to Lingyao.

Lingyao pressed the tourmaline on the jade crown, and sure enough, she heard the sound of the mechanism turning, and the box was pulled by the silkworm rope, and slowly fell in front of Lingyao from top to bottom.

Lingyao opened the box, and found that there were only two ordinary spherical stones, one large and one small, as if a random stone had been polished into this shape.

"Palace Master Shen, take off the tourmaline!" Tian Yao shouted from afar.

"No!" Ji Henian shouted from the farthest distance, "If something happens in the next life, all four of us will die here, and the gain outweighs the loss!"

Lingyao thought about it, so she ignored Tianyao and said, "Let's go!"

After all, Lingyao moved first, and then Han Chu, Tianyao, Ji Henian, the four finally left the water gate safely.

"Water overcomes fire, so the next door should be the fire door." Ji Henian walked towards the fire door, and saw that the fire door was inlaid with large and small rubies.

"But how to open the fire door?" Lingyao said, also took the fire folder and stepped forward to take a closer look.

Han Chu stood behind them, wondering what he was thinking, but Tian Yao had been a little absent-minded since the beginning.

"By the way, what's in the water gate?" Ji Henian asked suddenly.

"It's two stone balls." Ling Yao took out two stone balls from her sleeve and said.

"According to the rules of the first few doors, one of these two balls must be used to open the fire door, and the other is used to fight against the danger of the fire door. Palace Master Shen, do you think so?"

"Probably so." Ling Yao said, and suddenly glanced at Shuimen and said, "Ji Henian, do you think this Shuimen is a bit weird?"

"Weird?" Ji Henian made a thoughtful look, "This water gate symbolizes power, and the taller pillars represent higher and higher status and more and more power."

"That's right, and the narrower and narrower area actually means that the heights are extremely cold." Han Chu said suddenly, "The higher you stand, the fewer people around you, and those who deliberately approach you , nothing more than ulterior motives."

He said so, as if he was not just talking about the water gate.
