【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

After everyone discussed the time for half a stick of incense, Xiaojing and Yaozhuo who were drowsy finally woke up. Hearing Yuan Zhongxin's guess about the dungeon, Xiaojing felt a chill down her spine, and she said to herself in disbelief Said: "No wonder this dungeon is so sinister and gloomy. It turns out that it is a monster that has lived for hundreds of years."

Zhao Jian and Wei Yanei nodded in agreement.

According to the usual theory, how can a normal person have such supernatural powers, and can build such a mysterious and huge underground palace full of organs with their own strength?

Wei Yanei knocked on the stone wall with his fingers. He had nothing to do, and he traced the notch with his fingertips lightly. He asked puzzledly: "Now we have unlocked the secret on the stone wall, and then, what will he give us? The time limit of seven hours is not just to let us know the story of this dungeon?"

Fan Zaizhi asked in a deep voice, "What seven hours?"

Yuan Zhongxin explained to Fan Zaizhi and others the time rules that Tang Shun had just inferred. Are you spying on us?"

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately became vigilant and looked around nervously.

Wang Kuan stretched out his hand and caressed the vermilion wooden pavilion placed in the middle, his eyes were deep, and he suddenly said: "Since Brother Yuan said, that person is really watching us in the dark, and he must be very clear about our actions. We know the origin of the dungeon, but we are still unable to get out, does this indirectly prove that the key to getting out is not the stone wall?"

Yuan Zhongxin knew exactly what Wang Kuan wanted to say: "You mean that if you want to go out, you have to unlock the secrets hidden in these seven wooden coffins?"

When Wei Yanei thought of the six corpses of the prince who had been removed, and the fact that the six corpses had been stored for hundreds of years, he felt a chill in his heart, and his hair was terrified. He folded his arms and rubbed vigorously. He said with a gloomy face, "Isn't it common sense to put a corpse in a coffin? Is there any secret to hide?"

Yuan Zhongxin knocked on the coffin lid, as if he didn't know what was in the coffin at all, and raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Who knows, maybe there is some kind of immortality hidden in it."

Wei Yanei curled his lips, and murmured anxiously: "If there is, he still needs to hide it, why doesn't he take it out to save his family?"

Tang Shun stared at the wooden house for a long time, but couldn't think of any thoughts. He sighed deeply and rubbed the center of his brows: "Let's rest for a while, it's not a solution to exhaust yourself like this."

After hearing the words, everyone knew that there was no rush, and there was no other way. After all, there were still six hours for them to solve the riddle, so they all had to sit on the ground, munching on the rock-hard dry food, and picking up the gold and silver piled up beside them from time to time. Let's take a look.

Yuan Zhongxin did not rest. He came to the stone wall and stared up at the characters that he had never touched before. The meaning in his eyes was unclear and unfathomable.

Wang Kuan stood behind him, with his hands behind his back, silent, and after a long time he asked, "Do you see something strange?"

Yuan Zhongxin sighed, walked back to Wang Kuan with a little disappointment in his eyes, smacked his lips, turned his eyes around, and came to the seven quiet wooden pavilions, he suggested hesitantly: "What do you say?" Shall we open the coffin and have a look?"

Wang Kuan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I also had this intention, but I am worried that the opening of the coffin will lead to more dangerous changes."

Yuan Zhongxin naturally knew that opening the coffin would be risky, but at this moment, apart from the seven wooden coffins, it seemed that there was really no other breakthrough. His brows and eyes gradually showed fatigue, and even his breathing was inexplicably shallow.

Wang Kuan embraced his thin shoulders and supported his slightly swaying figure, feeling distressed: "You are tired, and you vomited blood just before you passed out, go and rest for a while."

Yuan Zhongxin understood that his body could not hold on for too long now, so he did not object, he patted Wang Kuan on the shoulder, and said obediently: "Well, you continue to study and study, I will go to rest, and if I find anything Call me immediately."

Yuan Zhongxin walked back to Zhao Jian and sat down. The latter handed him a water bag, his eyes full of worry: "Yuan Zhongxin, how is your body? Are you okay?" She didn't forget that Yuan Zhongxin was still shot. With the poison of half life and death.

Yuan Zhongxin smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xiao Jing bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, the time for the third injection is coming soon, Brother Wang..."

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes flickered, and he silently looked at Wang Kuan who was not far away.

The back of Wang Kuanxiu's Chang Yuli was reflected in his eyes, his eyes were glinting and gloomy, and his expression was gloomy. At this time, he was very happy in his heart. Even if Wang Kuan didn't say anything, Yuan Zhongxin, who knew him well, knew that he was in a coma. In the past, Wang Kuan must have checked the pulse for him, if it hadn't been for Xiao Jing who had already sealed his acupuncture points, it would be difficult to hide the poisoning from the deep-minded Wang Kuan.

Yuan Zhongxin looked at Xiaojing and smiled: "Don't worry, I will find the right time."

Yao Zhuo, who was standing beside them, stared at the young man with exquisite eyebrows and eyes and a slight smile without saying a word, a trace of doubt flashed in those eyes that were as calm as ancient wells.

She has grown up so much, and she has never seen anyone who clearly knows that she is poisonous, but can still talk and laugh happily, with a calm mind.

No wonder his young master looked at this man differently.

Wang Kuan wandered back and forth in front of the stone wall, and suddenly, his eyes came to the bronze mirror in a strange way. He stood silently in front of the bronze mirror on the right. Through the mirror, he could clearly see every movement and action of Yuan Zhongxin and the others. Every expression, I don't know how Wei Yanei provoked Yuan Zhongxin, the latter gave him a slap, Wei Yanei couldn't avoid it, and grinned at Yuan Zhongxin.

Wang Kuan smiled helplessly, turned around and came to the other bronze mirror, and looked at it carefully.

Wei Yanei sat down next to Xue Ying without a clue. Although the current situation made him anxious, he was not as smart as Yuan Zhongxin and the others. He couldn't think of anything else to do except sigh and scratch his head. The anxiety and boredom made him extremely uncomfortable, so he could only murmur incessantly: "Four hours, three hours, two... no, seven hours, what can we do in seven hours? "

He straightened up abruptly, and his brain twitched: "Yuan Zhongxin, do you think he wants us to help him count how many pieces of gold there are here?"

Yuan Zhongxin rolled his eyes speechlessly: "He is idle and asked us to help him count the money."

Wei Yanei groaned pitifully: "Then why did he give us seven hours? With so much time, what else can we do in this room? Just opened, how long will it take?"

Yuan Zhongxin also felt very strange, after thinking about it, he still couldn't get the answer.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Wei Yanei went to complain alone: ​​"Four hours to walk across the aisle, three hours to cross the chain bridge, two... no, seven hours—oh, why do I always Wrong number."

Xue Ying really couldn't bear Wei Yanei's voice like reciting Buddhist scriptures, so he glanced helplessly at Wei Yanei: "Can you calm down for a while?"

Wei Yanei looked at Xue Ying with a serious face: "Don't say it, maybe I will think of a breakthrough if I keep talking about it--Isn't it the same way we recited the memorization before and then we will recite it."

Shi Lisheng shook his head resignedly, and said to the taciturn man and the young man with a longbow on his back, "Huai Tuo, Huayue, I think it's more practical for us to count gold."

Huai Tuo and Huayue nodded in tacit understanding, actually bent down and counted them piece by piece.

Tang Shun frowned, looking at the three squatting on the ground with a little disgust in his eyes.

While listening to Wei Yanei's babble, Yuan Zhongxin casually looked at the Muguan, and found that Wang Kuan was standing firmly in front of the bronze mirror. A strange feeling arose in his heart inexplicably, and suddenly broke into his mind. Can't stop.

At this moment, Wei Yanei was reading again: "Four hours to walk across the corridor, three hours to walk on the chain bridge, two to seven hours what are you going to do?"

Two...hours?

Yuan Zhongxin suddenly raised his head to look at the two bronze mirrors, his heart was beating in shock, and his stagnant thoughts suddenly opened up.

That's right, if that person really wanted to trap them in the dungeon forever, how could he give them seven full hours?

The shorter the time, the more unfavorable it is for them. This is the real intention of that person.

Four hours, three hours, and then, two hours—it just so happens that there are two bronze mirrors in this room!

The mirrors were tall and conspicuous, but because the seven wooden coffins were in front, all of them selectively ignored the two bronze mirrors!

Yuan Zhongxin asked sharply in surprise, "How long have we been in this room!"

Everyone was stunned by Yuan Zhongxin's expression, and one of them, Qihou Jun, replied: "I am the first group of people to wake up, and it will take about a quarter of an hour from the time I wake up." It's been two hours."

Yuan Zhongxin's heart shrank suddenly, and before he had time to explain, he ran to Wang Kuan's side: "We have to get out of here quickly! The time limit is not seven hours, and two mirrors mean we only have two hours! There is still a quarter of an hour left Already!"

Wang Kuan turned pale with shock, and the others turned pale and fearful when they heard this.

Zhao Jian clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down: "Don't worry, since it's the mirror telling the time, the clue to leave should also be in the mirror, everyone hurry up and take a look!"

In this kind of place, time should have passed slowly, but when life and death came, a quarter of an hour passed extremely quickly.

Just when everyone was frantically groping for the bronze mirror but found nothing, a deafening bell rang in the air again, majestic and quiet, unstoppable!

Everyone was staring at every corner of the room in disbelief, as if some ghosts and ghosts that would kill them would appear anytime and anywhere.

However, when the bell rang, it circled and reverberated in the air for a while, until it disappeared completely. Except for the tense atmosphere of the bowed snake shadow, everything in the room was as usual, and nothing unusual was found.

Yuan Zhongxin didn't dare to be careless, he watched his surroundings vigilantly and coldly, and even his breathing weakened unknowingly.

Suddenly, Yuan Zhongxin noticed that Wang Kuan, who had been standing beside him, was moving. He turned his head to look, but found that the former was walking towards the bronze mirror on the left step by step. His figure seemed to be so stiff. Yuan Zhongxin thought that Wang Kuan Kuan found some clues, hesitantly asked: "Wang Kuan, what did you see?"

Wang Kuan turned a deaf ear, his expression was dull and his eyes were slack.

The alarm bell rang in Yuan Zhongxin's heart, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. He quickly walked in front of Wang Kuan, grabbed the other's arm, and asked anxiously: "Wang Kuan, what's wrong with you? Speak up! "

Wang Kuan seemed to be in a dazed state, he broke free from Yuan Zhongxin's hand, and quickened his pace towards the mirror.

Yuan Zhongxin was so frightened that he even stopped breathing. He stepped in front of Wang Kuan and shouted tremblingly, "Wang Kuan! Wake up!"
