The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 110 Underwater Maze (1)

The two of them quickly jumped into the river together. Jingchen was a god and didn't have the water-repellent beads, so he wouldn't drown, but he couldn't move as freely in the water as on land, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

He followed Mu Hanxing to swim in deep water for a while and felt that it was another day that he didn't want to work. As expected, hard work was not suitable for him. After swimming for a while, he felt like sleeping.

The two soon saw Long Jin near the ruins of a riverbed, where Long Jin found the gap he had just seen.

He waved his hand holding the spear and said, "Stay away, this looks like a roof, I'll open a gap."

Mu Hanxing took a look from a distance. The bricks were piled up to form a square passage with a broken corner on the roof. This should be the place where the red snakes came out every night to look for food.

With a "bang", Long Jin poked open the broken corner with a shot. The gap suddenly became bigger and three people quickly got in.

As soon as I entered, the scene before me was shocking and breathtaking.

There is a hidden world deep in the river, and under a small gap there is an underwater city!

Although this underwater city may not be as luxurious as Liyuan Palace at first glance, it is also full of abundant aquatic plants and lush vegetation. Although it is not as large as Liyuan Palace, it is still a different world.

There is a huge circular white tower in the sea. The situation inside the tower is not clear, but judging from the scale of the building, it looks more like it was built by humans. The circular tower stands on a square platform. Although it looks like a circular tower from a distance, it also pays attention to left-right symmetry.

Mu Hanxing quickly said to the two of them: "This palace of the Chigui tribe was built by humans!"

Long Jin asked: "What do you mean? Was it really built for them by the Tong family?"

"This also explains why the Red Viper Clan helped Master Tong to defraud the people's money." Jingchen said, "However, how can the city lord be sure that this habitat tower was built by humans?"

Mu Hanxing carefully looked at the overall structure and explained to the two, "This round tower is placed under the river sand, and a square platform is deliberately used as the base. One is to stabilize the tower, and the other is to emphasize the concept of 'round sky and square earth'. Moreover, when viewed from a distance, the patterns on the left and right walls of the entire tower are 'symmetrical'. It is impossible that a monster built it with such a high standard of specifications and shapes."

The two looked at her in astonishment. Jing Chen asked, "When did the Lord City Lord understand all this?"

Mu Hanxing felt a little embarrassed, as if he was on the edge of OOC every day.

She lied quickly, "I learned a little about this from Gong Yu before... You don't understand. Architecture and metaphysics are closely related and cannot be separated. But why can't we see those snake monsters? Let's go into the tower quickly."

The three of them looked around the tower but didn't see any door or other openings. Long Jin was so angry that he was about to tear down the entire tower. Mu Hanxing quickly stopped him and said, "Don't. This tower was designed by humans, so it was designed with care. If the Feng Shui pattern is destroyed, it won't be these snakes who will suffer, but the people of Huaiyu Town."

Although as a modern person she does not tend to support feudal superstitions, this is not necessarily the case in this fantasy script. Anything can happen, not to mention that the ancients' study of Feng Shui has already become a unique skill. Not to mention destroying the entire tower, even if a corner of the house is damaged, forming a "wind leak" or "water leak" pattern, it is very likely to affect the fortune of the surroundings.

Seeing that what she said made sense, Long Jin held back and continued to look for the entrance patiently.

The three of them searched for a long time but found nothing. Jing Chen looked up at the top of the tower and said, "Perhaps this tower can be entered from the top."

"Let's go up and take a look." After hearing this, Mu Hanxing quickly took the lead and swam upwards lightly and swiftly.

The three of them swam to the top of the tower, and sure enough, they saw a huge snake totem on the bricks and stones on the top. Long Jin was stunned. Although the totem texture was complicated, a simple story could be seen if one looked closely. It was a red viper holding a spear and fighting with a thin dragon on the churning sea.

This totem made Long Jin furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Red Viper Clan! How dare you vilify me!"

Mu Hanxing took a closer look and realized that most of the so-called ancient totems were tribal symbols or used to record historical events. This painting depicted Long Jin as skinny and weak, without any dignity, looking like a dragon that was about to die. However, Chigui himself was radiant and majestic, with the appearance of a dragon bone. Every stroke of the brush was full of scheming, as if telling the descendants of the Chigui tribe: "Our ancestors were all real dragons with great accumulation of experience, while Long Jin and his brother were weak and ugly monsters."

No wonder Long Jin was so angry.

No one can tolerate the distortion of history and the vilification of political opponents.

"These bricks seem to have some clues." Jingchen said.

Jingchen didn't pay much attention to the meaning of the totem, anyway, it was the grudge between Long Jin and Chi Wei. He looked around and found that the stone bricks on the top of the tower were all sealed, there was no hole for people to enter, and there was not even a handle on the stone bricks, so how did those Chi Wei get out from inside and go back quickly from outside?

"This." Mu Hanxing found a nine-square puzzle board in an inconspicuous corner of a stone brick.

She was too familiar with the ancient people's architectural thinking. Not to mention the imperial mausoleum, even a small underground storage room would be designed with mechanical locks to prevent intruders from discovering the secret treasures inside.

Just look at how random the patterns and designs on the puzzle board are and you will understand that by putting them together to form the right picture, the motionless capping stone bricks can be opened by themselves.

She swam up again to a certain height, standing at about the same level as Long Jin. She looked down from above and carefully memorized the pattern that made Long Jin so angry.

The correct pattern on the puzzle board is the taunting picture on the front capping stone brick!

While her memory was still fresh in her mind, she swam quickly down and pushed the movable plates on the puzzle board. In less than a moment, she had pieced together the correct pattern. Then, she heard a "boom" sound, and the stone bricks on the roof slowly moved away from both sides on their own!

"Let's go!" Mu Hanxing rushed in without hesitation.

The two male favorites behind her were quite surprised. They felt that the city lord, who had been seriously injured twice... seemed to have become more wise and calm after experiencing two great life and death events...

To put it simply and directly, it turns out that he was possessed by another spirit, right?

Even Long Jin, who was usually a bit thick-skinned, began to doubt.

There was no time to think, and the two men quickly followed her and swam in.
