How to work

"This is a cold pool."

As soon as He Lianyu finished speaking, Shen Wansha also remembered, and pointed in the direction with his hands: "It's over there, not far from here, just climb two mountains!"

Now that there are new clues, I must go and take a look...

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, and Zhao Zhu picked him up directly: "Let's go."

Lu Li: ...Does it need to be so fast?

He silently glanced at Shen Wansha, the young master had spontaneously jumped into He Lianyu's arms, and urged him to hurry up.

Lu Li: ...Okay.

As soon as the four of them got together, they started running towards the cold pool non-stop.

According to Shen Wansha's description, Hantan is actually not close, but because Zhao Zhuhe and Lianyu are good at martial arts, they directly use Qinggong to go up and down the mountain, and the straight-line distance is short, so they will arrive soon.

The cold pond is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the place where the floating water is located seems to be part of the foot of the mountain, and a piece is recessed. If you don't pay attention, you may not be able to see it.When you get closer, you will find that the pool water is very calm, just like a mirror surface, without even a ripple.The pool water is very clean, but not clear. A trace of cold air condenses on the surface of the lake, condensing into a light white mist, covering the water surface. One can tell that the temperature is very low.

Shen Wansha couldn't help shivering: "It's so cold before we get close, what should I do if I go into the water to find the key?"

"It's okay, there's your man!" He Lianyu moved closer and pinched his face.

Shen Wansha patted He Lianyu's hand away angrily, and glanced at Zhao Zhu and Lu Li to remind him: such a person!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhu and Lu Li didn't pay attention to this end...

Zhao Zhu didn't intend to let Lu Li get close to the pool at all. After seeing the whole view of the cold pool, he put Lu Li down from a distance and brought out the treasure map.After confirming that everything was correct and the address was correct, he called Shen Wansha over to sit with Lu Li, while he and He Lianyu made their own preparations and went down to the pool to find the key.

The two of them acted straightforwardly. Before Lu Li and Shen Wansha could react, they jumped into the cold pool with two "plop plops".

Shen Wansha's small face wrinkled into a ball: "I'm really cold for them..." Even if you have martial arts, you can't make such a fuss, don't be so cold.

Lu Li was also very worried, Zhao Zhu was still injured!Before being hit by a stone on the acupoints on his back, he immediately vomited blood and fell from mid-air. Zhao Zhu said it was easy, but how could internal injuries be so easy?In addition, entering the cold pool... But Zhao Zhu is not a person who can't be clear, and he won't try to be brave. He entered the water, he should have assessed his physical condition.

"We have to trust them." Lu Li's voice was calm and steady, as if he was comforting Shen Wansha and himself.

Shen Wansha hummed in a low voice.He didn't know that Zhao Zhu was injured, but his little friend's hands were so heavily wrapped in gauze, he was very worried.Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu went into the water, he was worried, Xiao Lizi was so kind, how could he not be worried?Little Lizi is injured, so don't worry about it, he made a mistake...

Shen Wansha turned away and didn't look at Hantan, anyway, Zhao Zhuhe Lianyu is not an idiot, so nothing will happen to him.He rolled his eyes and brought up another topic: "Let's find the key to the treasure... Doesn't that old man named Kun have nothing in his hands? He domesticated a little monkey and played games with the people on the island. what?"

"Hmm... I don't know, maybe it's boring?" Lu Li stared at the water surface of the cold pool, not concentrating.

Shen Wansha rubbed his chin and clicked his tongue: "Maybe...Although this island is not small, there are houses, trees, flowers, grass, and wild animals. There are no worries about eating and drinking, but there are no people. There is also a maze on the sea. No one can come in... No, no one can come in, he can go out!"

Lu Li was distracted by these words, and blinked his eyes: "Maybe... can't get out? Or don't want to go out?"

"Then what is he trying to do..." The words came back again.

Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, and now he really thought about it.There are treasures here, no matter which news channel you hear about the treasure, as long as the news is reliable, those who want the treasure will definitely come here in the end.

This old man named Kun has a deep mind, vicious tactics, and deep obsessions.He must have come here ten years ago for the treasure.In order to get the treasure, he used his beloved woman. Maybe he didn't realize the depth of his sweetheart's feelings at the time, so he made a simple choice, but later regretted it... But he is obsessed with Suxue, but not for the treasure? ?

If they found the treasure key in the cold pond today and opened the passage to find the treasure, then the treasure-hunting scene they saw ten years ago was not the real treasure.The old man came to his senses, and found that he had not obtained the real treasure, and he had not left his sweetheart behind. He was also poisoned, and his life span was short.

If a man is crazy, what can't he do?The old man is very obsessed and has a lot of unwillingness. He is also a gloomy person. He will be happy only when others are unhappy.If other people can also experience his state of mind at the beginning, such as doing something hard and finally ushering in success, only to find out that the success is fake, how much will he be hit at that moment?

The old man must want to see other people's broken expressions...

After Lu Li explained it like this, Shen Wansha nodded again and again: "It makes sense..."

Seeing that Lu Li's attention was drawn to him, Shen Wansha was very satisfied, and dragged him along to scold the old man. With a smile on his face, Lu Li looked at the lively young master, apparently in a good mood.

The two of them were chatting, when suddenly there was a splash in the pond, and Zhao Zhuhe and Lianyu came ashore.

As soon as the two landed, they immediately exercised their internal energy to dry their clothes, and walked over with smiles on their faces.Shen Wansha's sharp eyes saw the gleaming golden key in Zhao Zhu's hand: "You found it!"

"The water was muddy from above, but when I went down, I found the pool water was very clear. When I opened my eyes, I could see everywhere, but the pool was too deep and too big, so it took me a while." He Lianyu came over and patted Shen Wansha's head. .

Zhao Zhu showed the key to Lu Li and Shen Wansha, met Lu Li's worried gaze, and slightly raised the corner of his lips: "I'm fine."

This key is small, very delicate, and the whole body is glowing with golden light. Shen Wansha is very rare: "It's so beautiful..."

Lu Li smiled: "I found the treasure later, if this key is useless, how about I give it to you?"

"Is it possible?" Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, very pleasantly surprised.

Lu Li nodded: "There is nothing wrong with it."

……

The key has been successfully obtained, and the next step is to open the mechanism on the east mountain wall.

He Lian Yu was familiar with cracking the mechanism, he stood at the front without hesitation, groping up and down, left, right, left, and right, and fiddling with it.Soon, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes, smiled, and knocked several pieces of the mountain wall according to a certain force and a certain pattern.

With a soft "click", a crack appeared on the mountain wall, and it slid back, revealing a door.This door is also strange, just like the arches of ordinary people's houses, straight up and round, with a knocker and a lock.

"Lock?" Shen Wansha raised the key in his hand, could it be that it will be used now?

He Lianyu was worried that there were other mechanisms hidden inside, so he took the key from Shen Wansha's hand: "I'll return it to you later." After speaking, he went forward alone, and inserted the key into the keyhole in the middle of the stone door...

With a dull sound, the stone door was really opened!

The stone door retreated, revealing a wide and long passage. There was a candlestick on the inner wall of the passage. I don’t know if it’s because the lamp oil is special and keeps burning, or there is some secret method to maintain it. It ignites when it encounters air. In short, the passage is very bright. They don't even need to prepare fire.

Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu were worried that there was a trap inside, so one person was in the front and the other was behind, but after walking for a while, they found that there was really no trap on this road, and they were safe...

Walking in for a while, murals began to appear on the passage wall. The murals have smooth lines, bright colors, vivid pictures, and are decorated with silver lacquer and gold powder, which is very gorgeous.

There are battles on the battlefield, the horses are galloping and the morale is high, the monarch gives a banquet, the clothes are high and the crown is full of ambition, and the side script: 駉駉 Stallion, in the wild of the scorpion.Those who speak lightly: There are scorpions and there are emperors, there are li and yellow, and there are chariots and peng peng.Thoughts are boundless, and thoughts are boundless.

There are mountains high and rivers far away, beautiful women hold boats, and go far away with the river, side script: Flying the cypress boat, in the middle of the river.The two fashions of the hair and the other are true to my appearance, and their death will kill them.The mother is also a god!Don't forgive me!

There are long rice fields, prosperous and joyful, broken walls and ruins, desolate and desolate.Walking is extravagant, the center is shaking.Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say what I want.

There is a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, dancing alone under the full moon, with a sad face, tears filling her eyelashes, side script: the source of water is on the left, and the Qi water is on the right.Women can do it, far away from brothers and parents...

It was actually very similar to the one they saw in the ancient tomb of the false princess in Shanyang County, Shuzhong!

In particular, there is a young man in a light blue robe in the painting, his whole body seems to be filled with light, which is more conspicuous than all the characters.He is tall and slender, holding a jade box in his hand, with loose long hair, a veil covering his face, and compassionate eyes.Those extremely aura eyes, born with a noble temperament, are particularly eye-catching after being processed with special techniques, as if all the pictures are setting off him!

……

This mural is the same as the one I saw before, but it is different.At the beginning, in the tomb of the pseudo-relict princess, it mainly set off the woman dressed as a princess in the painting. She was sad and tough, and she had her own beliefs. Holy, confident, and even has a great man-like, far-sighted and extraordinary temperament.

Previously, in the tomb of the false princess, the national teacher only appeared in the first picture of the battle and the destruction of the Nanzhao kingdom, and all the murals in this passage have the national teacher!In every mural depicting the princess, the national teacher is high in the sky, looking down on her, as if he already knew and expected all this...

"This, what is this!" Shen Wansha's mouth opened wide, he was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

Lu Li brushed a corner of the mural with his fingertips, his gaze narrowed slightly: "Xu is the representative, we finally found the right place."

"Wait—" He Lianyu suddenly grabbed Shen Wansha, preventing him from going any further.

Shen Wansha didn't understand: "Huh?"

"I said why there is no mechanism, so it is waiting for us here." He Lianyu narrowed his peach blossom eyes, looking at the six horizontal gates in front of him and the chessboard on the stone arm. Obviously, this is a very special place. organ.

Shen Wansha followed his line of sight: "The chessboard? Could it be because of our ability to play chess?"

Zhao Zhu shook his head: "The chessboard will not only have such a few squares, it should be just a tool to crack the mechanism."

"Look carefully, this chessboard has five rows and fifteen columns. Whose chessboard is like this?" He Lianyu clasped Shen Wansha's hand and explained, "This should be a code word. Correct position, unlock the mechanism, and prompt which of the six doors in front is correct."

"Then what if you can't solve it?"

"Try one after another, but since there is such a setting, it is very likely that you will not survive if you enter."

"Then don't you know how to crack the mechanism, break it quickly!"

"This is a code language mechanism. You can only find the correct answer, and brute force destruction will lose its effect."

"So I can only guess the answer?"

"For now, yes."

Shen Wansha was very dissatisfied with such an answer, and looked at Lu Li: "Little Lizi, do you have a solution?"

"I just have to try." Lu Li frowned slightly, and asked Zhao Zhu thoughtfully, "If you were, what kind of questions would you ask to embarrass the visitor?"

Zhao Zhu thought about it for a while: "Someone knows about it, but others don't."

"Then it needs to be passed on by word of mouth," Lu Li tilted his chin slightly, looking at the six doors in front of him, "but when the treasure owner hides the treasure, he knows that the road for future generations is difficult, and it is impossible to leave a clue of word of mouth."

"Then it depends on fate and sincerity."

However, these two things are difficult to detect... But since we have given others a chance, we should leave a glimmer of hope. It is impossible to have no solution at all, and it is very likely that the clues are around us.Lu Li shook his head slowly, his eyes fell on the mural.

This mural is different from the ones I have seen before, it highlights the national teacher everywhere... If it is a treasure related to the Nanzhao Kingdom left by Princess Yi, why should the national teacher be highlighted?It must be the national teacher who is very important and has a deep connection with this treasure.So this code, will it be related to the national teacher?

Why is the chessboard five rows and fifteen columns?

Fifty-five……

Together, Lu Li counted the murals and found that there were fifteen in total!

What about five?

Lu Li's brain turned quickly. If fifteen represents fifteen murals, the number five must be in it. What is it?

five...five...five...

Lu Li's eyes narrowed suddenly, could it be the direction?In the east, west, north, south, the portrait of the national teacher, there are all the murals, sometimes on the top, sometimes on the bottom, sometimes on the left and sometimes in the middle...

"Five and fifteen, could it be the elf star representing the position of the portrait of the national teacher in the mural?" Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, He Lianyu and Shen Wansha, and said what he thought.

Shen Wansha rolled his eyes and was the first to affirm: "It must be so!" with a very excited tone.

Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu thought about it, and they also felt that it was very possible: "Try it, if it's right, it's good, if it's not right, then change it!" If there is no chance to change it, then go for it. What!

Several people made a decision and acted immediately.

Shen Wansha started from the first picture and counted the position of the national teacher in the mural: "The first picture is on the left, east, west, north, south, should it be two?"

……

Everyone watched all the murals together again, and rearranged the chess pieces on the chessboard in order.After arranging, there was no movement, Shen Wansha was very nervous: "Could it be a failure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the six doors in front suddenly slammed together, the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth doors disappeared, and the second door opened automatically.

"That's right!" Shen Wansha almost jumped up, and pulled Lu Li's sleeve, "Little Li, we are right!"

Lu Li exhaled slowly: "That's right."

The four of them raised their steps again and entered the second door.

Behind the door is also a long passage, with candles dancing on the stone wall, it is not dark at all.This road is very long, the four of them walked for almost half an hour, the entrance of the passage was brightly lit, and the path came to an end.

After coming out, I found that this place is still a closed space. The reason why it is so bright is not caused by the sun, but because there are night pearls hanging everywhere here!

This space is very large, the wall above the head is very high, nearly three feet, and there is a small hot spring on the ground, which is steaming. There are some green grass and short trees growing on the side of the hot spring, and the shade is pleasant.

"Wow, it's so big!" Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "It's so beautiful too!"

Lu Li looked at the luminous pearls on the wall, each one was as big as a child's fist, and he knew it was priceless: "So we found the treasure?"

Zhao Zhu and He Lianyu looked at each other, thinking in the same mind: I'm afraid we still have to look again.

The two of them came out first, checked carefully, there were no strangers around, and there were no agencies, so they let Lu Li and Shen Wansha come out and allowed them to walk around in a small area.

Lu Li was fine, he observed very carefully, and wanted to see what secrets were hidden here, but Shen Wansha ran a little far because of his curiosity and excitement, and gradually ran out of the safety circle drawn by He Lianyu and Zhao Zhu.

Of course, the young master was lucky, he didn't encounter any danger, he just—

"Ah, there's someone here—"

A stranger was found.

He Lianyu heard Shen Wansha's voice, tapped his toes, and quickly performed lightness kung fu, his whole body passed by like a gust of wind, and flew to Shen Wansha's side.

Soon, He Lianyu's voice came out: "There is indeed a person here, and he is still alive!"

This wording, this tone... In other words, although that person is alive, he doesn't seem to be in a good condition. No matter who he is, he is not threatening now.

Zhao Zhu immediately hugged Lu Li and went over.

As soon as Lu Li saw the person, he immediately understood what He Lianyu meant. This person was really alive, but... was in danger.

This man looks like an old man with white beard and hair, but he is extremely embarrassed. His clothes have been worn for an unknown number of days. They are greasy, dirty and stripped. His hair and beard are also messy, covering his face. He couldn't see his face, and his legs were broken, dragging limply behind him, and his pants were stained with blood.

He is now comatose, and he doesn't know how long he has been here, but he exhales more and inhales less.Zhao Zhu knelt down and squeezed his pulse, then shook his head.Although he doesn't know much about medicine, but the pulse... Even if he is a layman, he understands it. I'm afraid this person won't live for a while.

Lu Li couldn't bear it, so he fetched hot spring water, wiped the old man's face, and tidied up his appearance.After finishing this arrangement, I suddenly felt that the old man looked familiar...

Shen Wansha followed Lu Li's actions and fed the old man some water.

"Ahem..." I don't know if it was because I was choking on the water, but the old man woke up suddenly.After he opened his eyes, he was at a loss at first, then rolled his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Seeing Zhao Zhu, He Lianyu and Shen Wansha, he was not emotional, but when he saw Lu Li, his eyes suddenly fixed.

"Little Lord?"

Lu Li was taken aback, did this old man recognize the wrong person?

"Lu... Oak?"

When the old man called his name, Lu Li was sure that he was really calling himself: "Yeah."

"Finally waiting for you... I can die in peace!" The old man was very emotional, obviously very weak, and now he sat up, shaking his fists and saluting, "Old Wu, I have seen the young master!"

Lu Li was very surprised: "You, you, you——" Could it be the old man in Shouyizhuang who he met during the first autopsy when he woke up in Guan County!

"The young master still remembers my old man..." The old Wu was moved and wiped away his tears.

"Why are you here? Why are you injured so badly?" Lu Li asked repeatedly, "Why do you call me young master? Could it be that you are also from Cloud Piercer Island?"

The old head Wu closed his eyes, and said with some difficulty: "Yes... this old man is from Chuanyun Island... he is the close servant of the old suzerain."

The old suzerain, that is, Miao Hongxiao's master?

Lu Li's thoughts turned quickly. When he woke up in Guanxian County, he wanted to take the road of being an asshole. The first corpse was inspected by Zhang Yong at night in Yizhuang. The person who guarded Yizhuang at that time was this old man Wu head.At that time, he felt that the behavior and eyes of the old Wu were a little strange, but they didn't meet many times, and he had never seen the old Wu after leaving Sichuan, and he had long forgotten that little bit of specialness.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the old Wutou's appearance in Guan County is not a coincidence, but to watch him?But the original body was tortured by his aunt Feng, why didn't the old Wu ignore it?Could it be that he has an external heart and is no longer one of his own?

No, it's not right, if you have an external heart, seeing him now, you shouldn't be in such an emotion...

Lu Li couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly: "Back then——"

"There is a reason for the past..." The old Wu cut off Lu Li's words and took a deep breath, "The old man has a lot to say to the young master... The poison is poisonous to the marrow of his helplessness, and he may die at any time... The young master is here, It must be for the treasure on the island... The old man is here, he has an important reminder."

Lu Li's expression became serious involuntarily: "Please tell me, Uncle Wu."

"If you want to get the treasure, there are still verification checkpoints ahead... The first one is that people who have the blood of the princess of Nanzhao need to have a blood test... This is a necessary condition. If the young master has no descendants of the princess, There is no need to go forward on this trip...Fortunately, the young master is the master of Chuanyun Island, and he is still young, so there will be many opportunities in the future...Let's find...people of this blood..." The old Wu spoke very hard, Veins popped up on his head, and he soon saw sweat.

"Princess Yi's bloodline?" Shen Wansha lowered his head with a very disappointed expression, "Where can I find it in the vast world?" Is this treasure hunt doomed to fail?

I didn't want to, but heard a familiar voice: "I am."

Shen Wansha looked over suspiciously, and He Lianyu was looking over quietly, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and the light pupils reflected the gorgeous brilliance of the night pearl: "I am the blood of the Nanzhao princess."

"Who are you?Shen Wansha's eyes were wide open, his mind was knotted, and he couldn't understand it.
