Chapter 22: Unsolved Mysteries

"Yichen, why do you say your jade pendant can control the mechanisms here?" Lu Linger looked at Gu Yichen in confusion, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

Gu Yichen's expression changed slightly, his mind filled with questions. Just now, in that life-or-death situation, he'd been giving it a try, but he hadn't expected the jade pendant to actually control the mechanism. Although he couldn't recall the jade pendant's origin or its true purpose, he had a vague feeling that it had some deep connection to the mechanisms of this secret realm.

"Actually, I don't know either." Gu Yichen shook his head, his eyes revealing a bit of helplessness. "The function of this jade pendant is still very unfamiliar to me. Since I am still suffering from amnesia, I can't even remember who I am, let alone know the true function of the jade pendant. If you hadn't helped me find this secret realm, I wouldn't have known there were so many complicated mechanisms here."

Lu Linger couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she heard this. She looked down at herself, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. She raised her hand and slapped herself lightly. She felt a little ashamed of her behavior just now, feeling that she hadn't asked such a simple question clearly, which was really stupid.

Gu Yichen watched Lu Ling'er's actions, his eyes filled with doting smiles. He reached out and gently stroked Lu Ling'er's hair, saying softly, "Don't beat yourself up. I don't want to marry a stupid woman."

Lu Linger looked up and saw the warm smile on Gu Yichen's face. The tension in her heart instantly eased a lot. She bit her lip, trying to regain her composure, and nodded: "Okay, let's continue exploring this secret place and see what to do next."

Gu Yichen smiled faintly and continued forward with Lu Ling'er. They walked through the spacious hall, carefully observing every detail. The light of the crystal flickered in front of them, guiding their path.

When they arrived at the altar, Lu Ling'er's eyes were instantly drawn to the grooves on it. The shape of the grooves matched the jade pendant Gu Yichen wore. Gu Yichen immediately understood what was going on, quickly removed the jade pendant, and carefully placed it into the groove. With a heavy "click," the altar platform began to slowly move, the ground parting to reveal a stone staircase.

The stone steps were inlaid with glowing crystals on both sides, emitting a warm and soft light. Gu Yichen took Lu Ling'er's hand, motioning her to follow him. They descended the stone steps, holding hands more tightly to ensure each other's safety.

The stone steps stretched on for a long time, until they reached the end, where they finally connected to a long, narrow stone passage. They continued along the stone passage for a while, and after a cup of tea, the end of the passage gradually became brighter, and the light ahead of them became clearer and clearer.

When they finally emerged from the stone passage, the sight before them stunned them both. A vast landscape unfolded before them, a scene of fairyland-like beauty that left them speechless. The scene before them was completely different from anything they had seen before, as if they had entered another world. Surrounded by mountains, lush green vegetation spread out. At the foot of the mountains lay a lake, the waters crystal clear, with a few white lotus flowers floating on the surface. The entire environment was tranquil and beautiful, like a paradise on earth.

Gu Yichen and Lu Linger exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock and excitement. This place was not only beautiful, but also exuded a mysterious power that made them feel as if they had entered an unknown territory.

"This is such an amazing place." Gu Yichen murmured to himself, his eyes full of awe and curiosity.

Lu Linger also took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner excitement: "This area seems to hide many secrets. We must explore carefully to ensure that we can find what we are looking for."

"Ling'er, look, someone has come to greet us." Gu Yichen suddenly pointed to the front, took Lu Ling'er's hand, and led her over there.

Following Gu Yichen's finger, Lu Ling'er saw several figures approaching them from the open area ahead. Their simple clothing, imbued with a mysterious aura, perfectly complemented the fairyland-like surroundings. Both she and Gu Yichen felt a surge of nervous anticipation. Could these people answer their questions?

The two walked towards the people who greeted them, while remaining vigilant. Although the scenery was beautiful and charming, they knew that every corner of the secret place might hide unknown challenges.
