Skilled in managing a house

"Why can't I find the mechanism..." Zhang Yu searched for a long time on the stone walls around the stone gate, but couldn't find any mechanism.

He obviously felt cold now. He was wearing summer clothes. No one could stand it after being in such a cold stone room for so long.

He unconsciously began to rub his hands and thought to himself: "I can't stay here for too long. I have to find a way to open the door. But... I can't find the mechanism... How can I open the door..."

After rubbing his hands for a few times, Zhang Yu stepped back and said, "Nini, you also take a few steps back."

"Yeah." Nini responded and followed Zhang Yu backwards.

After retreating a certain distance, Zhang Yu flipped his right palm, and five-color runes appeared on his palm. He then swung his palm towards the stone gate.

"boom!"

A loud voice sounded, and the five-color rune palm print went straight to the stone door and smashed it.

With a "clang" sound, the rune palm print hit the stone door hard. However, only a little dust fell from the stone gate, but other than that, there was no alarm at all.

"So hard..." Zhang Yu couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this.

In fact, he could also imagine the thickness and hardness of the stone door, because the skeleton beside the wall belonged to the old priest of the tribe. According to Nini, the old priest was definitely a top expert. Zhang Yu thought that he could not be this old priest. Rivals of priests. After all, Zhang Yu was no match for Yun Kil, so how could he possibly defeat the old priest.

It is not difficult to imagine that when the old priest was trapped here, he would definitely think of various ways to escape. With the strength of the old priest, he was still unable to forcefully break through this place, and he would eventually be trapped to death. It is estimated that he and Nini would not be able to escape the same fate.

But what Zhang Yu couldn't figure out was why the stone door closed by itself. It takes quite some time for the stone door to close by itself. Unless you stay in the stone room for a long time, you will be trapped. If the stay was not particularly long, it would be like the two times he and Nini came here before, they had already left without waiting for the stone door to close. This time, it was really because of special reasons that I stayed in there for so long.

Thinking of the special reason for staying so long, Zhang Yu couldn't help but have another question in his mind, that is, why he came here to stay for so long. Now that we have found the secret room and the ice essence stone, we should notify the people in the tribe and take the ice essence stone away.

Nini saw that Zhang Yu used Five Thunder Palm to hit the stone gate hard, but it had no effect, so she quickly looked at Zhang Yu. She found that Zhang Yu seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't dare to say anything. She looked at Zhang Yu quietly. After a while, Nini felt that she was still sweating. That was because being in this place didn't make people feel particularly unbearable.

Compared to the heat on her body, the unpredictable Zhang Yu felt that it was getting colder and colder. Zhang Yu subconsciously hugged his hands in front of himself, which could make himself a little warmer. This is also a normal human behavior, but because he was wearing too little and hadn't eaten a bite all day, Zhang Yu soon began to shiver unconsciously.

Seeing Zhang Yu like this, Nini immediately said with concern: "Are you cold?"

"It's okay..." Zhang Yu said immediately.

When he spoke, his mouth was full of breath, as if he was speaking for three to nine days.

It can be said that the coldest place Zhang Yu has been to is the side of Baihu Mountain in Sixiang Mountain. It was already very cold there, but Zhang Yu could barely bear it, but here, he really couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu was not without options in this situation. He also had the Five Thunder Techniques and could use the Fire Thunder Technique to warm himself. But before he could use the fire and thunder technique, Nini hugged him directly and said with concern: "Looking at you... I know you are cold... My body is so hot... Let me hold you..."

Not to mention, Zhang Yu could feel a burst of heat as soon as Nini hugged him.

Although Nini's body was not as hot as before, her body temperature was still much higher than normal people. It is really unimaginable that Nini could have such a high body temperature in such a place.

Zhang Yu vaguely realized that Nini might not be able to leave this stone room in her current condition. Because once she leaves, without the low temperature here to balance her body, Nini is afraid that Nini will be like before, so hot that she can't breathe.

Zhang Yu's gaze unconsciously fell on the skeleton again. Nini hugged him, because Zhang Yu's body was cooler, which made her feel very comfortable. When Nini saw Zhang Yu turning his head, she also turned to look over and said, "What are you looking at again?"

"Nini, I'm wondering...the reason why your old priest is here...and still trapped here...might be that he experienced the same symptoms as you..." Zhang Yu guessed.

"I experienced the same symptoms as me...how to say this..." Nini said in confusion.

"Your current situation is... your body is hot. Even in this cold place, your body is still very hot... It can be seen that once you leave here, you will be just like before, so hot that you can't breathe, or even They might even die of heat... The old priest came here probably because the cave is colder than other places, so it makes him feel more comfortable... He was able to find this place because he was probably looking for the coldest place in the cave. At that time, he accidentally discovered it... and then came to this stone room... Since the existence of the ice stone in the stone room could protect him from the torment of the burning heat in his body, he should be planning to find a way to deal with the burning heat in his body here... ...But I didn't expect that the stone door would close automatically after a while..." Zhang Yu guessed.

"What you said... seems to make sense... but... why does his body feel hot..." Nini said curiously.

"This...I suspect...it may be related to the witchcraft you cultivate...and the skull necklace...When the witchcraft reaches a certain level, the body may become hot..." Zhang Yu continued guessed.

"If this is really the case... all the previous high priests should have been like this... why haven't I heard of it..." Nini said.

"When you say that, it's true..." Zhang Yu groaned, his eyes lit up, and said, "That's right! Do you still remember that when you were in the Divine Prison, you said you felt something What is calling you!"

"I remember, but it disappeared later... Do you know the reason..." Nini immediately became interested.

"The root of all this should start with the man who only served as the high priest for two days!" Zhang Yu said solemnly.

"A person who has only been a high priest for two days...what's the problem with this..." Nini was still confused.

"I once heard you say that high priests are passed down from generation to generation. The master takes five apprentices and appoints one apprentice to be the high priest before his death, and the other four will offer sacrifices. And this high priest who only lasted for two days did not There was no apprentice. After his death, his senior priest, the old priest, became the high priest. As the inheritance of the high priest, the old priest got this red skull necklace, but he did not get the original high priest to stay. Any teachings and last words. So in my opinion, your Mayan inheritance may be more than just this red skull necklace." Zhang Yu said seriously.
