The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband
Chapter 722: The Complete Four Sacred Beasts
The "fang" discovered by Fang Ya was picked out from a stone carving of a giant statue.
This pair of tusks were embedded in the place of the giant elephant's tusks. Although they do not seem out of place at first glance, the difference in the carving and the level of detail can be seen upon closer inspection.
It was not surprising that such an animal would appear in an ancient tomb, so she almost overlooked it.
Xu Yiyu also noticed the extremely high degree of fit between the missing parts of the four sacred beasts pattern and the stone carvings beside the corridor, and couldn't help but sigh at the meticulousness of the Japanese people who had tampered with the pattern before.
When a drop of water merges into the ocean, that is when it is most difficult to find.
How important is the plan that the people on Shandao want to implement that would make them go to such great lengths to find ways to prevent others from entering the space behind the stone gate?
Xu Yiyu didn't think about it any further, but continued to search for the whereabouts of the other two stones.
She had just found the pair of wings. The carving was so fine that she could see every detail of the feather. It would be a bit exaggerated to say that they were just parts of a building that some important person spent countless manpower and resources to build in order to hide treasure.
She now doubted whether the most valuable thing in this place was the imperial seal hidden somewhere here, or this mysterious underground palace itself.
The third person to discover the stone was Gu Yue, who had been searching for it through divination.
When he followed the guidance of the hexagram and walked to the stone carving that hid the eyes of the Azure Dragon, he didn't even notice anything out of place when he looked at the entire picture for the first time.
There are people, animals, fish and insects in the stone murals. There are too many subjects with outlines of eyes, and the shapes of the eyes are different. It is really difficult to tell which eyes are the eyes of the sacred beast Azure Dragon.
But soon he discovered that one pair of eyes was different from the others.
As bright as a candle, shaped like a pearl, with sharp eyes and awe-inspiring power without even being angry.
This pair of distinctive eyes is embedded in the face of a tall and majestic male figure wearing armor in the picture.
Gu Yue lowered his head to take a look at his neatly trimmed fingers, then reached out his hand and pressed hard on the eyes.
——The pair of eyes popped out directly from the stone wall and rolled lightly into the palm of his hand.
Gu Yue has been studying metaphysics for a long time, but this time he was really shocked.
I had been prepared to search for it for a long time, but I didn't expect that this thing could be obtained so easily...?
He turned this pair of "eyes" over and over again many times, carefully examining every detail on it, fearing that it was a foreign product used by some people with ulterior motives to confuse his vision.
Tian Lin, who was in charge of keeping the stone, noticed the movement from Gu Yue's side. He walked silently behind the eldest son of the Gu family, who was checking the stone in his hand over and over again, and patted him gently on the shoulder.
Gu Yue then turned around, grinned at Tian Lin, who had no expression on his face, and placed his "eyes" in Tian Lin's palm.
The missing parts of the three sacred beasts have been found, and other members of the treasure hunting team have also begun to concentrate on searching for the whereabouts of the Black Tortoise Four-legged.
But no one knew whether the "four-legged creature" was hiding too deep or everyone missed the clue area. With only one missing part left, more than 30 team members spent half an hour searching for it but could not find any trace of it.
Xu Yiyu was originally in distress, but a fleeting flash of inspiration came to her mind, which reminded her of some details that had been overlooked by everyone.
If it's not near the stone gate, then...is it possible that it's at the entrance of this corridor?
With this thought in mind, Xu Yiyu rushed back to the entrance at an extremely fast speed without even saying hello to his other companions, and started rummaging through the scattered rubble with a flashlight.
After a moment's thought, Xu Cheng guessed what Xu Yiyu was thinking. He immediately followed this sister back to the cave entrance and started picking through the pile of rubble.
After an unknown amount of time and after Xu Yiyu had passed countless stones in his hand, he finally stopped after touching a stone with four irregular protrusions.
She used her fingertips to brush away some of the gravel on the stone and finally saw the familiar shape of the four legs.
Xuanwu is a long-lived sacred beast that is extremely difficult to find and harm, according to various ancient Chinese legends.
Isn’t it perfectly fitting to embed the four feet of Xuanwu on the door stone of the mysterious underground palace?
Xu Yiyu tapped his forehead lightly, a hint of helplessness appearing between his brows.
It was Xu's way of thinking that was limited, and she did not expect this idea of hiding.
But after a moment, Xu Yiyu frowned, feeling that something seemed a little strange.
Could such a clever way of hiding clues really be thought up by those Japanese people who do not understand the essence of Chinese traditional culture?
If it was said that it was the guidance left by the owner of the mysterious underground palace, she absolutely believed it.
But those guys with ulterior motives...
Suddenly, Xu Yiyu shook his head violently, without thinking any further, he just clenched the stone in his hand, pulled his cousin Xu Cheng, who had accompanied him to look for the whereabouts of the stone, and walked back to the stone gate deep in the corridor.
Every minute and every second is precious now. Instead of wasting it on unfounded speculation, it is better to put all the clues together first to see if we can successfully dispel the strange darkness inside the stone gate.
Both of them walked very fast and soon they reached the deepest part of the corridor.
Xu Yiyu showed his companions the stone with four legs embedded in it in his hand, smiled, then pulled the four legs of the Black Tortoise out of the stone and handed them to Tianlin.
After the treasure hunting team reunited in front of the stone gate, Tianlin looked at Xu Yiyu for instructions and walked under the stone bricks of the four sacred beasts.
Tianlin's figure was only a few inches away from the strange darkness inside the door. Seeing him so close to the stone door, there were already traces of darkness intending to cover him, and Xu Yiyu's throat began to tighten.
Nothing had ever made her, Xu, so nervous. Every time she laid eyes on this darkness, she would have the illusion that her soul was about to be sucked away by it.
Tianlin did not waste any time. He exerted force lightly with the toes of his feet, and his whole body jumped up as light as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he jumped to a position level with the stone bricks of the four sacred beasts.
Except for Xu Yiyu, the other thirty or so people present did not see clearly how Tianlin made his move.
She saw him throw the stone in his hand gracefully in mid-air, and without even looking at it, he landed it lightly and silently on the ground again.
After the stone was thrown out by Tianlin, it quickly and accurately fit into the missing position, making several sounds of stone friction that sounded almost simultaneously.
Seeing the eyes of the Azure Dragon, the fangs of the White Tiger, the wings of the Vermillion Bird and the four feet of the Black Tortoise return to their original positions, Xu Yiyu did not smile. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to the darkness inside the stone gate, squinting his eyes slightly, as if waiting for something.
The next moment when the bodies of the four sacred beasts were restored to their original state, Xu Yiyu, with her keen hearing, caught a few dull sounds coming from somewhere in the dark, like the activation of a mechanism.
There were more than 30 members in the treasure hunting team, and they could not forget the shocking scene they saw until a long time later.
——They actually "saw through" the darkness.
