Chapter 179 Drinking water monster
The bloody face in the mirror opened his eyes and mouth wide, like the last expression left by a person who was frightened to death. The more Zhao Ganyu looked at the face in the mirror, the more he looked like his own. He felt that his seven orifices were bleeding, and he was showing a strange smile.
Shocked, Zhao Ganyu accidentally threw the mirror to the ground.
The broken lenses collapsed all over the ground, and Zhao Ganyu was still worried about something strange about the Blood Face, but the blood Face I saw when I picked up the lenses was just red marks drying on the mirror, which made him feel more at ease.
But after picking up all the lenses, Zhao Ganyu discovered something was wrong. It seemed that there was something more. These fragments looked like they could not only be made into a mirror, but also one or two more.
Fortunately, Zhao Ganyu's hand speed was very fast when playing puzzles, because he was so poor that he had nothing to do. Zhao Ganyu had sold puzzles. Sometimes the products were messed up before they were sold, and when they were regular, they had to work on it. Although he couldn't make much money at that time, Zhao Ganyu practiced the hand speed of puzzles.
After the mirror was put together, there were indeed two copper fragments. Some patterns were carved on the fragments. The fragments were put together and they turned out to be the shape of a spoon.
At this moment, with a thud, Lin Baihua finally came out of the water. She wiped her face and looked around vigilantly. When she saw Zhao Ganyu, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I've found the right way this time."
"What happened? What exactly is that under the water?" Zhao Ganyu stepped forward and reached out and pulled her out of the water.
Then I saw some dark red marks on Lin Baihua's clothes: "Are you injured?"
Lin Baihua shook her head: "I'm fine. My clothes are a little dirty. Oh, you said this?" Lin Baihua lowered her head and found a dark red stain, "This is not my blood. I'm afraid it's Hou Jian's."
"Hmm?" Zhao Ganyu didn't understand.
"That fish is probably the cause of Hou Jian's death. I found two fingers between my teeth. It didn't look rotten yet, so it should be Hou Jian. Unfortunately, the body was not clearly seen at that time." Lin Baihua squeezed a handful of water in her hair. "This fish is very strange. It looks like a fish head and a snake body behind it, so I can't see the end. I'm afraid it has to be fed by living people to make it stable. This is why Qian Cheng and the others need living people."
So that's it. Zhao Ganyu felt that Lin Baihua's speculation was not unreasonable.
"Look at this place." Zhao Ganyu pointed to the bronze mirror, "This place is very similar to the bedroom we discovered before, and the decorations are also similar. I just threw the mirror and added two more pieces of this thing."
Lin Baihua's eyes lit up: "This is the key."
"Ah?" Zhao Ganyu was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a spoon?"
"The technology of the Lin family's secret box is not just the kind you have ever opened." Lin Baihua already knew that the secret box was unlocked by Su Yueya. "Have you heard of Luban locks? The Lin family also has similar technology, which can make keys into various exquisite looks. And they are all clever explanations of Qimen."
Unfortunately, the two searched around the stone chamber but couldn't find any keyholes. Zhao Ganyu asked two books to find. The words on the book looked very similar to the words of the Lin family, but this time Lin Baihua couldn't recognize them completely. "This is a bit similar to the words of the Lin family, but it doesn't read like a complete sentence, but it looks like a cipher text. It takes time to unravel it. But this book is ordinary classical Chinese."
Lin Baihua pointed to a small book placed on the dressing table. The small book was pressed under the bronze mirror, so Zhao Ganyu didn't notice it for a moment.
There is nothing special about the things recorded in the small book. Most of them are poems, which look like love sentences. What attracts Zhao Ganyu's attention is the introduction before a poem. It roughly means to live in this immortal cave, like living in a paradise, and there is no regret except that you cannot be with the person you miss. The legendary phoenix, the Kun fish mentioned by the ancients, and the four-eared monsters, and life is full of fun. If it weren't for not wanting to enter the underworld, you wouldn't have easily killed these monsters.
The following poems are to commemorate these monsters, and there are some paintings and records of how to kill them at that time.
"I can't understand these classical Chinese, my brain hurts." Lin Baihua threw the little book to Zhao Ganyu and went around to find out if there was any other way out.
Zhao Ganyu flipped quickly, and one of the pages was drawn with a monster with a fish head and a snake body, with a monster drinking stone drinking next to it. The person who wrote this little book seemed to have had a long time observation of the monster fish. The monster drinking water drinking water was named by the writer, because the monster with a fish head and snake body not only ate people, but also swallowed stones. They could not distinguish the difference between stones and humans, but only knew that they had grown big mouths and swallowed things they encountered.
The end of this record also states that the fish will sink to the bottom of the water because it cannot be digested by swallowing stones, but those who don’t know will only feed it with fresh meat, which will make it desire for flesh and blood. Because it will not actively rush to the shore to bite people, it is kept in the pool next to the immortal cave.
"This should be the immortal cultivation cave mentioned in the book. I have a way to calm the strange fish. There is no need to live." Zhao Ganyu hummed twice in his nose, "I really look down on those who are determined to make bad ideas."
"Wait." Lin Baihua called Zhao Ganyu, "There is still a door here." Lin Baihua pushed open the closet and knocked on the floor. It was not the sound of wood, but a muffled sound, as if it was hitting a drum.
But there was no gap around and no handle to open the door. I can only speculate that it was indeed empty.
"Take the pieces just now." Lin Baihua took the pieces from Zhao Ganyu's hand, put them into a spoon, and tried the handle along the bottom of the closet. With a click, a crack appeared on the floor. Then Lin Baihua knocked around the crack with a spoon-like key, revealing a key hole.
"The question is how it started. Zhao Ganyu, please twist this slowly, I listen to the sound." As he said that, Lin Baihua pressed his ear to the floor and quietly listened to a slight subtle change. But the sound of the waterfall next to him was super loud, and for a long time, both of them couldn't find the angle to unlock the lock.
Zhao Ganyu was also lying down and listening. He found a slight change in the roar and a slight difference in strength between his fingers. Then he twisted the key hole. But it was useless to twist it now. He turned it several times and didn't open the door.
"Try this." Lin Baihua separated the fragments again and pointed to a gap in the keyhole and said, "If it was a cleverly designed lock, it would not be broken so easily. This must be a deliberate design."
Sure enough, the tip of the spoon handle could accurately squeeze into the gap in the keyhole. What's amazing is that as the tip of the spoon handle was inserted, the entire keyhole became larger and larger, and he hugged the spoon key tightly. When Zhao Ganyu felt a little trouble under his hands, he twisted it gently and clicked, and the door opened.
