The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

When Xu Yiyu's eyes were fixed on the four square bricks, Xu Cheng also discovered the strangeness of the carvings of the four sacred beasts on the stone lintel.

When the two met eyes, they both understood the surprise in each other's eyes.

This treasure trove is not only huge in scale, but also has many mechanisms set up by masters that cannot be cracked and understood by modern science and technology. It may also involve some ancient Chinese Feng Shui knowledge.

Everyone in the treasure hunting team also used strong flashlights to see the details on the stone gate. Whether it was the five people from the Archaeology Department of Peking University, the knowledgeable theoretical group members of the Chinese Team, or even Gu Yue, who had just cast a fortune for this expedition before entering the door, they all obviously realized something.

Seeing that the team members' eyes were all on the bricks, Xu Yiyu took the opportunity to express his thoughts to everyone.

"I'm sure you've all noticed that the pattern on the stone bricks is obviously missing. It may be a clue to the door. Now I would like to ask everyone to work in groups to search around here. The missing parts of the four sacred beasts may be hidden in the hidden places."

Since the darkness in the stone gate was really eerie, it would be wrong to rush in. The more than 30 members of the treasure hunting team simply followed Xu Yiyu's instructions and formed groups of people with flashlights to search for clues in the corridor.

There are too many carvings on the stone surface in the corridor. As long as you find a stone with similar patterns and obvious traces of splicing, it is most likely the missing part of the stone bricks engraved with the four sacred beasts.

Xu Yiyu walked up to Jiu and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Jiu, when you came here before, were the four sacred beasts on the stone gate missing these parts?"

"No, this stone gate is a little different from what I remember."

Jiu shook his head, with a hint of doubt on his face.

He clearly remembered that the stone brick pattern on the stone gate was intact when he came here before. Although the stone gate was dangerous at every step, it was not like no light could penetrate.

"It seems that after Master Gu took you back to China, someone else came here through another route."

Xu Yiyu was prowling the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, observing whether there were any signs of another entrance.

There is almost no doubt that the bricks have been tampered with.

The people who are most suspicious are naturally Shandao and Xiaoze and their group, who have already been dealt with by Tianlin.

More than thirty people were scattered in twos and threes. Some of them were carefully observing the stone carvings on both sides of the corridor, some were observing the stone road under their feet, and some were looking up to search the top of the corridor with the help of flashlights.

Xu Yiyu walked slowly back along the corridor and began to search from the direction when everyone came. The strong flashlight that could illuminate a person's pores clearly did not fall on any valuable stones.

She walked out for more than ten meters, and fearing that her naked eyes were not enough, she placed her fingertips on the walls on both sides of the corridor, carefully feeling whether there was any unusual touch on her fingertips.

The stones used for the walls of the corridor are rough in texture, but I don't know what method the skilled people who built this place used to polish the surface of the stone bricks very smoothly. Although it is not as smooth as a mirror, Xu's fingertips can't feel too much rough texture.

While Xu Yiyu was searching for clues, Tianlin just followed her not too far away and did not hinder her movements.

Xu Cheng checked the top of the corridor, but until her neck ached, she hadn't found any stone carvings or murals that looked out of place.

Upon closer inspection, the carvings and murals in this corridor appear to be much more lively and delicate, and do not look like works that were hastily completed with limited manpower.

Gu Yue's method of finding the missing parts of the sacred beast was somewhat different from that of the others. He always held the copper coins he had taken out of his arms in his hands. Every few steps he took, he would put the copper coins into the tortoise shell, shake it towards the stone surface in various directions, and then pour the copper coins from the tortoise shell into his palm to look at them.

Xu Yiyu looked at the young master of the Gu family's unusual searching method and smiled slightly, but did not object.

As the saying goes, when you are in doubt, you can ask metaphysics.

If the guidance given by metaphysics points in the same direction as human judgment, it can also make this judgment more firm.

Everyone walked back along the corridor they came from. Xu Yiyu was observing the pattern of the stone bricks at the junction with the top of the corridor. Her fingertips, which had been sliding along the wall, suddenly touched something sharp, blocking the way forward.

Xu Yiyu's heart moved, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, looking at the sharp spot where his fingertips touched.

——On this stone brick, there is a carving of a blue bird flying in the sky.

At the bottom of the picture, countless people in kneeling positions are carved with unique but vivid brushstrokes. Their faces cannot be seen clearly, and they are all kneeling to worship the blue bird at the top of the picture with its wings spread and some plant branches in its beak.

What Xu Yiyu just touched was a bulge on the edge of the bluebird's wings.

In order to see more clearly, Xu Yiyu held the flashlight in his mouth and shone it on the bluebird's wings. He placed both his hands on the wall and slowly traced the outline of the bluebird's wings.

Soon, her left index finger touched a seam that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Xu Yiyu was delighted, and used the other fingers of his left hand to find a suitable fulcrum, and slowly pulled out the wing of the blue bird.

The pair of wings were embedded tightly in the wall. By the time Xu Yiyu pulled the wings out of the stone carving intact, several minutes had passed.

Looking at the pair of wings carved out of stone in his hands, Xu Yiyu carefully recalled the appearance of the southern sacred beast, Vermilion Bird, which he had just seen in his mind, and found that the wings of the Blue Bird could fit exactly into the missing part of the Vermilion Bird.

Xu Yiyu did not say anything at first, but handed the wings to Tianlin behind him, and began to search for the missing parts of the other three sacred beasts.

But this time, while she was still rubbing the wall, Fang Ya's excited voice from the practical group came from the other side.

"The white tiger's fangs were found! They were hidden quite deep."

Fang Ya placed the white tiger's fang in one hand and examined it carefully, completely ignoring the already worn fingertips on her other hand.

Xiang Xiaoqiang, who was not far from Fang Ya, placed the flashlight facing upwards at the position he had just searched for, and walked towards Fang Ya.

Xiang Xiaoqiang carefully took the "fang" from Fang Ya's hand, but at the same time he noticed the worn fingertips on her other hand.

He was about to ask something when Fang Ya frowned and shook her head quickly at Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang opened his mouth, but in the end he still said nothing.

Fang Ya's discovery obviously inspired other members who were still searching. Many people showed joy on their faces, and the search became more detailed and efficient.

Xiang Xiaoqiang silently took the "fang" and walked to Tianlin. After handing it to Tianlin with great care, he said nothing. He just walked back to the place he had just found and picked up the high-intensity flashlight standing on the ground.

He knew why Fang Ya stopped him from asking questions just now.

The hard-earned discovery boosted the morale of the treasure hunting team, and she, more than anyone else, didn't want this morale to be damaged because of her injury.

Xu Yiyu looked quietly at Xiang Xiaoqiang and Fang Ya who were silently continuing their search work, and the look in his eyes became a little tougher.

Everyone in the treasure hunting team is indeed a partner she can trust and rely on.
