Chapter 273 The real role of the dragon pattern secret box
Chu Chuan looked down at Gu Xiaoqian's feet and saw a flip board that had been stepped on. There were some carving patterns around the flip board that were not obvious, some were protruding, some were sunken, and some seemed to have a piece of it dropped. The carving area was large, with a circular area in the middle of the top of the stone platform.
"Be careful!" Beiqin reminded, "Will there be mechanisms?"
Several people were on guard and looked around vigilantly. But after waiting for a while, nothing happened. Chu Tianyi's heart was slightly relieved, and he looked at Gu Xiaoqian and said, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Gu Xiaoqian smiled and shook her head, "What did I step on?"
Mu Feng squatted down to check, "There is a grid under the flip board, with several bulges and grooves inside, so I can't tell what it is for?"
"Let's take a look." Chu Chuan also approached the lattice on the ground and looked carefully. After a moment, he stood up and took out the dragon pattern box from his bag.
"Dad, are you?" Chu Tianyi asked inexplicably.
"The dragon pattern box has been in my hand for more than ten years, and I am so familiar with it." Chu Chuan turned the dragon pattern box over and exposed the bottom, "Do you see if the concave and convexity under this lattice match the pattern at the bottom of the dragon pattern box?"
The others compared the two sides and nodded in agreement.
"Is it possible to use the dragon pattern box to open up some mechanism?" Bei Qin guessed.
"No matter what it is," Chu Chuan gently put the dragon pattern box in, "Just try it out."
The secret box was placed into the dark lattice on the ground, and it was indeed tight. Then the dark lattice sank with a rumbling sound. Chu Chuan hurriedly got up and took two steps back.
Then a crisp "click" came from the secret compartment. Several people immediately walked over and saw that the original dragon pattern box had been split and six sides were dismantled into six pieces.
"I'll go," Beiqin hurriedly took out one of them, looked at it and said with a smile: "It seems that this is not a mechanism, it is simply an ancient crusher."
Mu Feng also took out a piece and looked at it repeatedly, and was also puzzled, "Why do you need to destroy the secret box?"
Only Chu Chuan seemed a little excited. He stared at the carved patterns on the ground in front of him. Just as the dragon pattern box was destroyed, everyone else's attention was attracted, and only Chu Chuan noticed that the carved patterns on the ground had changed.
"Uncle Chu," Mu Feng asked, "Did you find something?"
Chu Chuan pointed to the ground and said anxiously: "The key is that the lines are on them, and they must be cleared out the information they are hidden."
"This figure?" Beiqin found a strange pattern appeared below the circular carving area, and it looked a little familiar. He waved to Chu Tianyi, "Tianyi, come to see this!"
Chu Tianyi walked over and took a look, and immediately pointed to the ground and said, "This, this seems to be the thing Lao Wu gave me." As he said that, he took out the bluestone carving for him from his bag, and then put it in with everyone's affirmative eyes. It was indeed very suitable.
Chu Tianyi held it and tried to turn it. With a "boom", the patterns changed again.
Chu Chuan looked carefully and raised his hand to signal to Chu Tianyi, "Turn again!"
"Okay." Chu Tianyi turned the bluestone carving in his hand again.
"Turn again!"
"good!"
"Turn again!"
"good!"
"stop!!"
With Chu Chuan's excited voice, the circular pattern area presented a relatively complete pattern, but a few pieces were missing.
Chu Tianyi also stood up and pointed to the missing pieces and asked, "Has these positions fall off over the years?" But before he finished speaking, he immediately understood and secretly scolded himself for reacting too slowly. Are these pieces corresponding to the pieces that were split into the dragon pattern box?!
Several people quickly placed the six sides of the box in a specific position, and a relatively complete figure was immediately presented.
Chu Chuan nodded with relief and said with some emotion: "It turns out that the person who really grasps this secret is not King Xu Yan, but Mrs. Xu Feng! Even the dragon-patterned box that King Yan regards as the core secret is actually only part of it. It's a pity that he ended up indulging in the desire for power, lost himself, and Mrs. Xu Feng, and naturally he couldn't get the real answer."
Gu Xiaoqian looked at the stone carvings in front of her, thought for a while and said, "This seems to be a map?"
Chu Chuan said: "To be precise, it is a navigation chart, which should be the way to the legendary secret realm of overseas."
"Is the legend of King Xu Yan's overseas secret realm true?" Bei Qin felt a little unbelievable.
Mu Feng pointed to the split dragon pattern box, "This treasure has been removed, I guess this overseas secret realm should be the final solution to all problems." As he said that, he sighed lightly, "Although no ready-made antidote was found, it is a good thing to find the final solution." As he said that, he took out the camera from the waterproof bag and took a few photos "crack and snap".
"But, this picture is not complete," Gu Xiaoqian held up a flashlight and shone it at a corner of the entire carved pattern. "Isn't that position still empty?"
The others looked at Gu Xiaoqian's flashlight and found that there was no carving at the upper left corner of the map. As Gu Xiaoqian said, this so-called navigation chart is not complete.
"This!" Several people were stunned.
At this moment, a loud "boom" sound suddenly came outside the stone gate, followed by a lot of people shouting, "Hurry!!! Go ashore!!!"
"The things in the water are chasing you!!"
"Run!!"
Soon after a few loud noises, Chu Tianyi and his party saw several flashlights shaking in the direction of the stone gate. Soon they saw many people running over. They were probably really scared, and the huge iron chain on the ground did not attract their attention.
When the people below ran closer, the flashlights of both sides shone on each other. Chu Tianyi suddenly saw that the fat man in the lead was Wu Caifa!
At this time, the people below also noticed the flashlights above, and they were not surprised. Wu Caifa even shouted to them: "It's Chu Tianyi, you don't have to look at me, let's talk about the past well later."
"Hmph! Fatty Wu!" Chu Tianyi sneered, "Why are you so panicked when you come in?"
Gu Xiaoqian had never seen him before and said softly to Chu Tianyi: "Who is this person?"
"He is also a subordinate of Mr. Fifth." Chu Tianyi replied.
"They are indeed here." Gu Xiaoqian said coldly.
At this time, the loud noise outside the stone gate had stopped. Wu Caifa smiled and said to Chu Tianyi and others: "Don't worry. I'll go up now." After that, he said to the people behind him: "Brothers, search the guys! Take them all!"
Mu Feng didn't say anything, but raised the crossbow gun. Wu Caifa was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then said indifferently: "Yohe, there is also such a weapon! It doesn't matter, even if you shoot, you are not a submachine gun. I know this kind of crossbow gun, and see how many you can shoot to death!"
Wu Caifa said, and led the people over. But just as they were about to pass through the stone bridge, the water in the pool suddenly surged, as if it had suddenly started to boil.
Wu Caifa and others did not dare to continue moving forward for a moment, and quickly retreated, staring at the strange pool water with vigilance.
Chu Tianyi and others naturally seemed a little nervous. Gu Xiaoqian subconsciously took a few steps back and accidentally hit Mrs. Xu Feng. She was startled and turned her head quickly, saying while bowing: "Madam, don't blame me, Madam!"
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoqian heard a voice. Although the voice was gentle and pleasant, it sounded creepy to her because the voice came from Mrs. Xu Feng's body: "It's okay~"
She suddenly looked up and saw that at some point Mrs. Xu Feng had opened her eyes, which were light red eyes. Gu Xiaoqian was so scared that she opened her mouth wide and was about to scream, but before she could make a sound, Mrs. Xu Feng grabbed her wrist. In an instant, Gu Xiaoqian found that she could not speak or move.
Mrs. Xu Feng stared at Gu Xiaoqian's face carefully, and there was a loving expression in her red eyes. Gu Xiaoqian was surprised to find that she was gradually no longer afraid of her, and even felt a little kind.
At this time, the water in the pool below surging even more violently, and the entire stone platform even began to shake.
Chu Tianyi couldn't help but curse: "Fatty Wu, what did you do!!"
Chu Chuan frowned, "It seems that this place is going to collapse. We must rush out!"
Wu Caifa seemed to see their intentions, and did not care about the surging of the pool water, and held a short knife and blocked the bridge.
"Fatty!" Bei Qin rubbed her broken short knife on the ground.
Mu Feng picked up the crossbow gun, "Run out of the stone gate as soon as possible, don't fight."
Chu Chuan gritted his teeth, picked up two fragments of the dragon-patterned box from the ground and put them in his bag, shouting softly, "Go!" Several people immediately rushed towards Wu Caifa and others quickly.
Chu Tianyi had just run out a few steps and felt something was wrong. When he turned around, he found that Gu Xiaoqian was still standing in front of Mrs. Xu Feng's body.
"Xiaoqian, go quickly!" "Xiaoqian!!!" Gu Xiaoqian didn't respond even after shouting a few times. Chu Tianyi had no choice but to step forward and pull up Gu Xiaoqian and rush down together.
When the few people arrived at the bridgehead and were about to fight to the death, they suddenly saw that Wu Caifa's subordinates had interacted with each other.
Wu Caifa was also confused and cursed: "It's all crazy!! Why are you hitting yourself?!"
Bei Qin rushed to Wu Caifa and was about to take action. Wu Caifa tried his best to swing his knife into the air. Bei Qin frowned, and when she figured it out, she saw that there was one Wu Caifa on each side and rushed over...
Mu Feng immediately felt something was wrong when he saw this scene, but before he could react, he suddenly found that the fat ghost appeared in front of him, and he raised his gun and shot it. But the arrow passed through the fat ghost like the air, almost accidentally hurting Da Pan next to him.
