The footsteps sounded heavy, like a strong man carrying something heavy. With each step, the whole ground seemed to be shaking.

Yu Hongdou looked around suspiciously. Except for Qingzhu who went to tell his father, everyone else was already in the room. So who was making the footsteps outside?

"It's not footsteps. It seems like some kind of facility has been activated." Tan Langxuan lay on the ground and listened carefully. He gave the answer in a few breaths.

"Did we run into it?" Yu Hongdou was suspicious. Did they just run into something they shouldn't have touched?

Tan Yanlin answered her by shaking his head. He opened his mouth to say something, but his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! Entrance!"

Yu Hongdou reflexively looked back at the door they had just come out of. Mo Ding walked over and pushed the door very tactfully, but the door did not move at all.

"It seems that it is true as you said. We have to try this lotus stone platform." Tan Yanlin pointed at the stone platform without panic.

Everyone outside knew that they had come in. If they didn't go out later to send out a signal, someone would come looking for them. They were not in danger of death at the moment, so Tan Yanlin was very calm.

Yu Hongdou was a little panicked. Xu Da speculated that the underground palace was at least 20 to 30 meters underground. If it was really buried, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

"It's okay. Since people lived here before, there wouldn't be only one way out." Mo Shougui comforted everyone.

Yu Hongdou forced herself to remain calm and nodded, agreeing with what her master said. Then she turned around, flipped over to the stone platform, and began to study the three lotus flowers.

The first time she came, she was forced to flee and she didn’t even think about going up the platform. The second time, she was so focused on accompanying the two teachers in the exploration that she didn’t even think about going up the stone platform.

As soon as Fu came on stage, Yu Hongdou was stunned. It turned out that there was a ferocious animal head carved in the middle of the lotus.

This animal head was the same pattern engraved on the lotus jade pendant that she had found at the bedside of Liu Jiaoniang.

It was also the mask worn by the humanoid coffin they had just seen in the secret room in front.

There must be some connection between these three. Yu Hongdou regretted that she did not wear the lotus jade on her body, but this did not stop her from stretching out her hands to test the lotus base.

After twisting left and right and pressing up and down for some trial and error, Yu Hongdou was discouraged to find that the three lotus bases were as if welded to the stone platform and did not move at all.

"Push." ​​Mo Shougui watched his little apprentice using the clumsy method to experiment, frowned, and uttered a word softly.

Yu Hongdou obediently changed from pressing to pushing. She initially chose the lotus base on the left and pushed with all her might, but the lotus base still did not move.

But unlike just now, Yu Hongdou felt as if it was shaking.

Yu Hongdou was overjoyed. She lay on one side of the lotus base and looked down hard. After a few seconds, she stood up, stretched her arms, and stretched out her hands. She grabbed the lotus base on both sides with her hands and pulled it towards the middle with gritted teeth.

"Let me help you." Tan Yanlin turned over and climbed onto the stone platform, approaching Yu Hongdou, motioning her to go left and him to go right, and they both exerted force at the same time.

Yu Hongdou loosened her right hand, turned sideways, placed her hands on the lotus stone platform on the left, and pushed hard towards the center.

The person who did the same thing as her was Tan Yanlin on the right.

With the efforts of the two, the two lotus pedestals that seemed to be integrated with the stone platform actually moved closer to the lotus pedestal in the center.

When the petals of the three lotus flowers touched each other, the lotus in the middle suddenly drooped its petals, as if stretching out its little hands, and directly "bite" the lotus flowers on the left and right sides.

With this bite, the two lotus bases were turned into Transformers, and the three lotus bases actually began to merge.

"It's really... magical." Tan Yanlin stared in amazement.

He watched as the stone petals overlapped one another, and the lotus base in the middle rose higher and higher like sesame seeds blooming.

In the end, it turned into a three-layer lotus base.

"It seems like something needs to be placed in the middle." The three layers of the lotus base were combined together, and a shallow pit appeared in the pistil.

"It looks a little familiar..." The more Yu Hongdou looked at it, the more shocked she became. The part in the middle of the pistil was exactly the same as the lotus jade pendant in her hand!

"How can he not look familiar?" Yu Song came up to take a look, then looked at his sister and sneered.

As his laughter fell to the ground, a jade lotus suddenly appeared in Yu Song's hand, and a ferocious animal head was engraved on the petals in the center of the lotus.

“???” Yu Hongdou sent a question mark to her brother with her eyes. When did the jade pendant come into his hands?

"My third sister gave it to me." Yu Song pointed to the bottom of the stone platform, and while his sister and Tan Yanlin turned their heads, he pressed the side of the jade pendant with the animal head onto the pistil in the middle of the high-rise version of the lotus base.

"Click!" The crisp sound of the mechanism being activated brought Yu Hongdou back to his senses, as he was being diverted.

She didn't have time to ask Qian Sanmei why she was holding the lotus jade pendant. She turned her head and stared at the stone platform.

"It's open!" This time it was Mo Ding who cheered. He stood at the back of the stone platform, gesticulating and pointing at it.

The guard who had been holding the torch was faster than Tan Langxiu this time and rushed over in one step.

Just as I was about to put the torch in to see what was going on inside, the flame on the torch was pulled inward about an inch long with a "whoosh".

"For ventilation. I'll go down and take a look first." The guard said this without waiting for the consent of his two masters, Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin. He bent down and went straight in.

Yu Hongdou then climbed down the stone platform, stretched her neck to look inside, and found that there was actually a vertical shaft below.

The vertical shaft was about two feet wide, with a circle of steps along the wall, and a lot of slippery moss growing on the steps.

The guard had swiftly climbed down more than two meters.

"Third sister, why did you think of wearing this jade pendant?" Yu Hongdou didn't dare to look down anymore. She turned around and saw Qian Sanmei coming over, then she remembered to ask this.

"Miss, the last time you came here for an adventure with Master Wen and Master Mo, you forgot to bring the jade pendant. You told me that next time you come, you must bring the jade pendant with you in advance." Qian Sanmei was a little panicked because she forgot to tell the young lady that she had brought the jade pendant.

Qian Sanmei has been with Yu Hongdou for five years. From an ignorant farm servant, she learned reading, boxing and archery from Yu Hongdou. She is serious and never lazy. She also gradually becomes more organized in handling things, so Yu Hongdou is very confident in handing over the things around her to her.

This naturally includes sorting out personal assets. After all, Qian Sanmei will be the manager of her inner courtyard in the future, so Qian Sanmei can get the jade pendant and carry it with her.

"Well done!" Yu Hongdou gave a thumbs up to Qian Sanmei. If she hadn't been smart and remembered her instructions, they would still be staring at the lotus pedestal helplessly!

Seeing that the young lady was not angry, Qian Sanmei smiled shyly and quietly retreated behind the young lady to protect her.

"It's at the bottom." Yu Hongdou stepped aside and Tan Yanlin took her place. He stretched his neck to look into the cave entrance and saw that the guard kept going down and finally stopped motionless, waving the torch upwards, then he spoke up to remind everyone.

"I want to go down!" Master Mo Shougui and his disciple Yu Hongdou said in unison.
