Mentioning this matter, Zuo Qiuyu's eyes showed a rare hint of viciousness.
"My master has superb medical skills, although he is not a powerful elder in the pavilion. But his reputation at that time may not be worse than those of them. It's just that my master was framed by a few of them together! Huh, the three of us I tried several times to find evidence, but they all evaded me. I didn’t expect that Master’s bones are actually here.”
After saying this, Lin Mengya understood everything.
Now that the great elder has accepted his mother, the eldest princess becomes his apprentice.
Then, Mr. Yuan, who can take the prince Zuo Qiuyu as his disciple, must have extraordinary status and medical skills.
If she guessed correctly, this Mr. Yuan is the candidate decided by the Great Elder to pass on the throne.
In order to seize the position of the Great Elder, Nan Rui and the others will of course join forces to frame Mr. Yuan.
Thinking about it this way, the reason why the First Elder and Mr. Yuan are here is probably because of the wild ambitions of Nan Rui and others.
"I think they won't be able to enter this stone room. Otherwise, the First Elder and Mr. Yuan probably won't be here. I think it's not a good time to alert the enemy now. Let's go out first."
Zuo Qiuyu nodded, still holding back his grief, and carefully collected the bones of the great elder and his master.
"Shh, someone seems to be coming outside."
Long Tianyu, who had always been alert, suddenly issued a warning.
The four people immediately stopped what they were doing, because the sound of chaotic and rapid footsteps reached their ears very clearly.
Strange, at this time, who will come
Although the footsteps were panicky, they soon disappeared again.
No matter how hard the four of them put their ears against the stone door, they couldn't hear any sound.
It seemed like it suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that the other party, like them, had their ears pressed against the stone door
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu in confusion, and the other party also had the same look in her eyes.
Breathing became faintly audible, but there was still strangely no sound outside the stone door.
The hatchbacks seem to be competing for endurance.
A stone door seemed to separate two spaces.
"Elder, could you have guessed wrong?"
Finally, the person on the other side seemed to be unable to remain calm, and a young voice spoke first.
"Impossible! This is a forbidden area in the pavilion. The lamp oil on both sides is lit. Someone must have fallen!"
This is Duanmuyang’s voice!
Lin Mengya quickly exchanged a look with Long Tianyu, but Yu An, who was helping to hold the elder's skeleton behind him, accidentally dropped one of the leg bones on the ground.
In an instant, the crisp figure was particularly clear in the quiet stone room.
Lin Mengya's heart also rose in her throat, thinking that someone outside would definitely discover her now.
However, a moment later, the expected words did not come.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu exchanged words with their big eyes and small eyes, blinking.
"Ahem, who is outside?"
Long Tianyu changed his voice suspiciously and asked in a medium voice.
But outside, they are still drowning in their speculations.
It seemed that no sound was heard inside at all.
Zuo Qiuyu cursed tentatively, but there was still no reaction from outside.
The four people finally felt relieved. It seemed that the structure of this stone chamber was special. People outside cannot hear what people inside are saying.
But the people inside could hear it clearly.
This time, it was a lot more convenient for them.
The four people relaxed, but decided to listen to what people outside had to say first.
Although, the focus of the debate is still why the lamp oil burns.
Why can't I see anyone when I get here
Lin Mengya was a little confused. Don't they know there is a stone room here
Just when I thought of this, the young voice that first sounded outside said:
"Elder, are they going in?"
Sure enough, Duanmuyang and the others also knew about this stone room.
"How could it be? Even if the princess who fell down was the princess, they couldn't open this door. Maybe someone forgot to put out the lamp oil when they came down. Let's go out first, in case we are discovered. Other exits will cause serious problems."
Duanmuyang's voice gradually became farther and farther away from the footsteps.
But at this time, Lin Mengya was already full of questions.
It seems that Duanmu Yang should know the secret of the stone chamber. Otherwise, how could he possibly say with certainty that no one could enter this stone chamber
As for the other exit—
"Quick, let's go!"
Lin Mengya was shocked and immediately called Long Tianyu and the others to leave.
Fortunately, they were already prepared. Zuo Qiuyu and Yu'an each held a bag of bones and ran quickly to the door on the steps.
But when we arrived at Shimen, we hadn't even used the mechanism to open it yet.
The smell of burnt firewood came from outside the stone gate.
Sure enough, Duanmuyang was playing tricks just now!
Their real purpose is to use another door to trap the people in the stone room.
It is conceivable that there must have been an ambush behind the stone gate.
It's roasting with fire again, and the people inside can't get out. No matter which side you go out from, you will be caught on the spot immediately.
What a cruel method!
It seemed that she really underestimated these beasts in Baicao Pavilion.
"What should we do? Why don't we go through the stone gate? We can also fight out."
There was a bit of viciousness in Zuo Qiuyu's eyes. Now, in his eyes, most of the people in Baicao Pavilion were nothing more than beasts.
Lin Mengya stopped his thoughts, not to mention that they were weak now.
If they knew that he and Zuo Qiuyu were trapped here, they would definitely have murderous intentions and would not let them go in the slightest.
It's not time to fight until it's absolutely necessary.
"Let's go down first. Maybe there will be a third way out here."
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the thick smoke coming through the stone door is getting more and more choking.
Fortunately, the stone chamber is large enough, and the smoke floats above it. For a while, their breathing was not a problem.
However, those outside are more patient than them, and it is only a matter of time before they die.
Lin Mengya looked around and suddenly heard what Long Tianyu said.
If, this stone chamber is used to provide refuge for the descendants of Baicao Pavilion. Then, when it was first built, perhaps the current situation would have been taken into consideration.
After telling several people about their guesses, the four of them spread out and searched for every possible possibility in the stone chamber.
Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya searched through any space on the side near the stone door.
But in the end, it was all in vain. The burnt smell in the air had already made Lin Mengya's throat feel a little uncomfortable.
However, she coughed lightly and shook her head with the other two people.
The situation has reached its most critical moment.
If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid all four of us will end up with smoked sausages.
"What should we do? Let's fight out, Mengya, you don't have to be afraid. Even if you sacrifice me and Yu'an, you and Long Tianyu will be sent out!"
There seemed to be a tragic emotion on Zuo Qiuyu's face.
Lin Mengya lightly slapped his face, and her eyes became serious.
"What are you talking about? There will always be a way. Since it is all because of my idea that everyone is in this predicament. Then I must take you all out!"
Zuo Qiuyu is good at everything, but he is prone to do impulsive and stupid things in the heat of the moment.
Now, impulse is your biggest enemy.
Turning around, Lin Mengya looked around the stone room again.
For some reason, she felt that this Medicine King statue was a bit awkward.
"Long Tianyu, come here and take a look. Is this Medicine King statue a little weird?"
Like her, Long Tianyu turned his head and looked at the statue of Medicine King.
In fact, it is strange just because this statue does not rely closely on the shrine.
On the contrary, it is somewhat protruding.
Lin Mengya walked slowly over. Behind the shrine was a huge stone wall.
It is said that Lintian Kingdom is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are almost no high peaks in the territory.
Whether it's a stone door or a stone chamber, it doesn't look like it's purely natural.
With the help of Huozhezi, Lin Mengya climbed to the stone wall behind the stone statue and looked at all the dark places one by one.
Although the walls are uneven, there are extremely subtle differences.
Unless you look closely, you can't tell that this wall is overlapped one by one.
Since the stone chamber is man-made, there must be a way out.
This is the habit of ancient craftsmen. After all, if you work for the royal family, if you are not careful, you will be tricked and killed.
Over time, there will be a passage in the built tombs or even palaces, through which one can escape directly.
Now, the most important thing is to find this passage!
After all, where will it be
Lin Mengya forced herself to calm down, and her eyes, like a scanner, scanned the stone chamber inch by inch.
Since it was excavated by craftsmen, it must be hidden in a place that the owner of the stone chamber would never think of.
Lin Mengya's eyes swept around, and finally landed on the statue of Medicine King.
Since the stone chamber was built to offer sacrifices, logically speaking, the only place the owner of the stone chamber dared not touch was the statue of Medicine King.
Long Tianyu's eyes suddenly met Lin Mengya's.
The two of them had a clear understanding in their hearts, and their eyes were a little fiery as they focused on the stone statue.
"Hey... I said, you two..."
Zuo Qiuyu looked at the two people with some confusion. Both of them were extremely smart people, so their behavior sometimes seemed to be something that he, a mortal, could not understand.
However, now that they were looking at the statue of Medicine King so eagerly, Zuo Qiuyu felt a little weird in his heart.
"We don't have time, let's try to see if we can push this stone statue!"
Lin Mengya suggested, and Long Tianyu immediately obeyed.
"Hey! Cousin, this is deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors, deceiving the master and destroying -"
