Chapter 184 Mechanism
But it was not a solution to keep going like this. After all, Yin Xuan Ge did not have the ability of Qin Shuxue, and no matter how cautious she was, there was only so much she could do. She knew that if she hesitated too much, it would harm Situ Xia Yan, so she just held her breath and opened the door all at once.
The door was only half open when Yin Xuan Ge knew something was wrong; this was clearly an ordinary door, how could it be so heavy as a stone door? There must be a mechanism behind the door. She didn't dare to let go, but just took a quick look - at least there was no one in the room behind the door, so she lit the fire with confidence. When she looked, she found that there was a very thin string at her feet. If she didn't look carefully, she would not be able to find it at all, and she almost touched it. She secretly rejoiced and was about to step over, when suddenly a group of arrows shot out from nowhere. The room was only a little big, and there was no time to dodge at such a close distance. Yin Xuan Ge was shot by an arrow, and the rest were not spared.
The arrows were aimed at the vital points of the person who came. Yin Xuan Ge was small, so the arrows that should have hit her heart hit her shoulders instead. At this distance, the arrows didn't have much power, and the arrows were shallow. The secret passage was very narrow, and Yin Xuan Ge was pushed back by the force of the arrows, and her back was already against the wall. Fortunately, her wound was not deep. Except that she looked a bit like a hedgehog, everything was fine.
Since Yin Xuan Ge was a cultivator, she could naturally endure this little pain, and she just screamed a few times, not wanting to cause trouble. She had just focused on the strings, and only now saw a circle of holes on the wall, with a thin line connected to the door just now. The thin line was not stretched too tight, so the mechanism was delayed for a few seconds before it started to move.
Fortunately, no one noticed the movement here. Yin Xuan Ge knew that if she pulled out the arrow hastily, it would definitely leave a bleeding hole, which would make her even more dangerous than the current situation. But this would only make her feel very painful, and it would be inconvenient to find something. She thought about it and summoned metal to cut off the tail of the arrow and most of the arrow shaft. Although it would still hurt if she moved, at least it would not hit anything else or hinder her movement.
Yin Xuan Ge didn't have time to be so pretentious here. Situ Xia Yan was in greater danger than she was. But the door closed again by itself. Yin Xuan Ge quickly grabbed the door, but she didn't dare to open it too wide. She tried to squeeze in through the small gap, but her body was obviously too normal. She had no choice but to bend down and open the door again.
Arrows were shot out again. Fortunately, Yin Xuan Ge had experience. She had no time to worry about it. She waited for the rain of arrows to pass and rushed in.
After all, she entered the room. What Yin Xuan Ge saw was no different from what Situ Xia Yan saw. It was just a normal room. But since there were so many defensive measures, it must mean that there was something here. Yin Xuan Ge didn't know that Situ Xia Yan had touched every corner last time. She dragged her painful body and even touched under the bed. She was covered in dust, but still found nothing.
What should I do now? Yin Xuan Ge was anxious. They didn't have much time. She didn't know what had happened to Situ Xia Yan. But there was really nothing in this room. Yin Xuan Ge really didn't know where to start. What was there to protect in such an empty room?
No. Yin Xuan Ge suddenly understood that there was definitely no secret recipe in this room. How could such a low-level mechanism be set up after Situ Xia Yan came last time? Such a mechanism is not fatal, so wouldn't the thief still find the thing? Then there are only two possibilities. The first is that the secret recipe is fake. They are not afraid of being stolen, but it is obvious that they can't even find the thing, so it is probably not this possibility; the other possibility is that no matter who comes, it is useless. Only people from the Liuli Palace can open this secret door and get the secret recipe.
Yin Xuan Ge understood immediately: Perhaps the way to get the secret recipe is to ask someone from the Liuli Palace who is good at music to come and play a tune, and maybe it will work. Although Yin Xuan Ge has learned some music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, her family is not raised according to the standard of a talented woman. After practicing in Chongyun Sect for several years, she is still not as good as the people from the Liuli Palace. But she already knows that something is wrong. If she is from the Liuli Palace, she will not send any disciples now. Anyway, it is impossible for outsiders to get this secret recipe!
Wasn't Situ Xiayan's firepower useless? But Yin Xuan Ge couldn't save her now. She couldn't go back like this. She thought about it for a long time. Since things had become like this, she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to make a loud noise in the room, just like hitting the air.
It doesn’t matter if she can’t steal, but if she intends to destroy the entire house, will no one come to the Liuli Palace?
Liuli Palace would naturally send someone: Situ Xiayan appeared here, but she didn't make it clear what her purpose was. Even if she did, Yan Liuli wouldn't believe it. Why would Chongyun Sect suddenly send Situ Xiayan to negotiate? She knew that someone must have done something else, maybe it was because of what happened in the village; then someone must have come to steal the antidote. Yan Liuli was struggling to find evidence, and someone came to her door. Shouldn't she give Chongyun Sect a good beating?
Originally, she just wanted to wait for Yin Xuan Ge to return empty-handed, but she didn't expect that this person would be so bold as to destroy the house directly. This secret recipe must have precious uses, and she certainly didn't want it to be destroyed.
Although Yin Xuan Ge destroyed the house, she hid in a blind spot behind the door. She knew that there would be more than one or two people coming, and she herself was not capable of fighting too many people, not to mention that she had to control her strength and hold back, otherwise it would only intensify the conflict between the two factions.
Now all she can rely on is fate. Yin Xuan Ge felt that her luck has always been good. She swallowed nervously and waited for someone to come.
The Liuli Palace was very quick and people came to capture Yin Xuan Ge immediately. However, they were very smart and didn't know the strength of the people in the house, so they very cautiously played a little tune outside, trying to confuse Yin Xuan Ge.
Yin Xuan Ge had fought with Liuli Palace before, so how could she not know their abilities? Although she didn't have the courage to pierce her ears like Situ Xia Yan, she just stuffed something in her ears to reduce the influence of the music to some extent. Therefore, although she heard the sound, it was intermittent and she couldn't hear it clearly. She just pretended to be confused by the music and made some painful sounds inside.
Although the person outside heard Yin Xuan Ge's movements and was more certain that there was someone inside, although he didn't know why his song caused this reaction from the person inside, he still pushed open the door.
