Speaking of this matter, Zuo Qiuyu's eyes revealed a rare trace of viciousness.
"My master's medical skills are superb, even though he isn't an elder with real power in the pavilion. Although he was not an elder with real power in the pavilion, his reputation at that time might not be worse than theirs. However, back then, my master had been framed by a few of them! Hmph, I've tried to find evidence several times, but they've always dodged me. I didn't expect that my master's remains were here. "
After hearing his words, Lin Mengya understood most of it.
Since the Chief Elder had accepted her mother, the Eldest Princess, as his disciple.
In that case, Mr. Yuan, who could accept Zuo Qiuyu, a prince, as his disciple, must have an extraordinary status and medical skills.
If she guessed correctly, Mr. Yuan was the candidate chosen by the Chief Elder to pass on the position.
In order to seize the position of the Chief Elder, Nan Rui and his fellows, of course, joined forces to frame Mr. Yuan.
In this way, the reason why the Chief Elder and Mr. Yuan were here was probably because of the wild ambition of Nan Rui and his fellows.
"I think they should not be able to enter this stone room. Otherwise, the First Elder and Mister Yuan wouldn't be here either. I don't think it's a good time to alert the enemy. Let's go out first. "
Zuo Qiuyu nodded, suppressed his grief, and put away the remains of the Chief Elder and his master.
"Hush, it seems that someone is coming outside."
Long Tianhao, who had been alert, suddenly warned them.
The four of them immediately stopped what they were doing, because the sound of hurried and messy footsteps had reached their ears clearly.
It was strange. Who would come at this time?
Although the footsteps were hurried, they soon disappeared.
No matter how hard the four of them put their ears on the stone door, they could not hear any sound.
It seemed that they had suddenly disappeared into thin air. Could it be that they had also put their ears on the stone door like them?
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianhao in confusion, and he had the same expression as her in his eyes.
Their breathing became faintly audible, but there was still no sound outside the stone door.
The two of them seemed to be competing in endurance.
A stone door seemed to separate two spaces.
"Elder, could you have guessed wrongly?"
Finally, the person on the other side seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer. A young voice spoke first.
"Impossible! This is the forbidden area of the pavilion, and the oil lamps on both sides have been lit. Someone must have fallen in here! "
This was Duanmu Yang's voice!
Lin Mengya quickly exchanged glances with Long Tianyu. However, Yu An, who was helping to carry the Chief Elder's skeleton, accidentally dropped a leg bone on the ground.
In an instant, the clear silhouette was exceptionally clear in the quiet stone chamber.
Lin Mengya's heart was in her throat. She thought that they would be discovered by the people outside.
However, after a moment, the expected words did not come.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao stared at each other for a while, blinking their eyes.
"Ahem, who's outside?"
Long Tianhao changed his tone suspiciously and asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.
However, the people outside were still immersed in their own guesses.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything from inside.
Zuo Qiuyu cursed tentatively, but there was still no response from the people outside.
The four of them finally felt relieved. It seemed that the structure of this stone chamber was special. The people outside could not hear what the people inside were saying.
However, the people inside could hear them clearly.
This made things much easier for them.
The four of them relaxed, but they still decided to listen to what the people outside had to say.
However, the focus of their argument was still on why the oil lamps were lit.
Why didn't he see anyone when he was here?
Lin Mengya was puzzled. Did they not know that there was a stone chamber here?
Just as she thought of this, the young voice from outside said,
"Elder, could they have gone in?"
Indeed, Duanmu Yang and the others knew about this stone chamber.
"How could it be? Even if it was the princess or prince who fell in here, they wouldn't be able to open the door. Perhaps someone had forgotten to extinguish the oil lamps when he came down. Let's go out first. It would be bad if someone discovered the other exits. "
Duanmu Yang's voice and the footsteps gradually faded away.
However, at this moment, Lin Mengya was full of questions.
It seemed that Duanmu Yang knew about the secret of the stone chamber. Otherwise, how could he be so sure that no one could enter this stone chamber?
As for the other exit …
"Quick, let's go!"
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately beckoned Long Tianyu and the others to leave.
Fortunately, they were already prepared. Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An each carried a bag of bones and ran quickly to the door on the stairs.
However, when they reached the stone door, before they could open it with the mechanism.
The smell of burning firewood drifted in from outside the stone door.
Sure enough, Duanmu Yang was deliberately mystifying things!
Their real purpose was to use the other door to trap the people in the stone chamber.
It was easy to imagine that there must have been many soldiers lying in ambush behind the stone door.
Moreover, there was a fire here, so if the people inside went out. No matter which side they went out from, they would be caught on the spot.
What a vicious tactic!
It seemed that she had underestimated the group of beasts in the Pavilion of Herbs.
"What should we do? Why don't we go through the other side of the stone door? We can kill our way out. "
Zuo Qiuyu's eyes were filled with viciousness. At this moment, most of the people in the Pavilion of Herbs were just beasts in his eyes.
Lin Mengya stopped his idea. Not to mention that they were weak now.
If they knew that Zuo Qiuyu and Lin Mengya were trapped here, they would definitely have the intention to kill them and would not let them off.
It was not the time to risk their lives unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Let's go down first. Perhaps there's a third way out."
As the temperature rose, the smoke coming through the stone door became more and more suffocating.
Fortunately, the space in the stone chamber was large enough, and the smoke was floating above them. For the time being, it was not a problem for them to breathe.
However, the people outside were more patient than them. It was only a matter of time before they were suffocated to death.
Lin Mengya looked around and suddenly remembered what Long Tianyu had said.
If this stone chamber was used as a refuge for the descendants of the Pavilion of Herbs. In that case, the current situation might have been taken into consideration when it was built.
After explaining his guess to the others, the four of them spread out and started to search the stone room for all possibilities, regardless of whether they were important or not.
Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya searched the side of the stone door and found any space.
In the end, it was all in vain. The burnt smell in the air made Lin Mengya's throat a little uncomfortable.
However, she coughed lightly and shook her head at the other two people.
The situation had reached the most critical moment.
If this dragged on any longer, the four of them would become smoked sausages.
"What should we do? Let's fight our way out. Don't be afraid, Mengya. Even if Yu An and I have to sacrifice ourselves, we'll get you and Long Tianyu out! "
Zuo Qiuyu's face was filled with a tragic expression.
Lin Mengya gave him a light slap on his face and the look in her eyes became serious.
"What are you talking about? There must be a way. Since it's because of my idea that everyone is in such a predicament, I must get you out of here! " Zuo Qiuyu was a good person, but he was impulsive and stupid.
Zuo Qiuyu was a good person, but he was prone to do stupid and impulsive things.
Lin Mengya turned around and looked around the stone chamber.
She did not know why, but she felt that the statue of the king of medicine was a little awkward.
"Long Tianyu, come over and take a look. Isn't this statue of the king of medicine a little strange?"
Long Tianyu, like her, turned around to look at the statue of the king of medicine.
Actually, it was strange because the statue was not leaning closely against the shrine.
Actually, the reason why it was strange was because the statue wasn't leaning against the shrine.
Lin Mengya walked over slowly. Behind the shrine was a huge stone wall.
Logically speaking, the Nation of Lintian was surrounded by the sea on three sides and there were almost no tall mountains in the territory.
Be it the stone door or the stone chamber, they did not seem to be natural.
Lin Mengya climbed to the side of the stone wall behind the statue with the help of a torch and looked around the dark area.
With the help of a torch, Lin Mengya climbed to the stone wall behind the stone statue and looked around the dark area.
If one did not look closely, one would not be able to tell that the wall was made up of pieces.
If one didn't take a closer look, one wouldn't be able to tell that the wall was made up of pieces that overlapped one another.
Since the stone chamber was man-made, there must be a way out.
This was the habit of the ancient craftsmen. After all, when working for the royal family, they might be killed if they were not careful.
Over time, there would be a passage in the tomb chamber or even the palace that was built, through which one could directly escape to the heavens.
Now, the most important thing was to find this way!
So, where could it be?
Lin Mengya forced herself to calm down. Her eyes scanned the stone chamber inch by inch like a scanner.
Since it was excavated by the craftsmen, it must be hidden in a place that the owner of the stone chamber would not expect to find.
Lin Mengya's eyes wandered around and finally fell on the statue of the king of medicine.
Since the stone chamber was built for sacrifices, the only place that the owner of the stone chamber did not dare to touch was the statue of the king of medicine.
Long Tianyu's eyes suddenly met with Lin Mengya's.
The two of them had a telepathic connection. Their gazes were burning with passion as they focused on the stone statue.
"Hey … I say, you two …"
Zuo Qiuyu looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Both of them were extremely intelligent, so sometimes their actions were not something that an ordinary person like him could understand.
However, Zuo Qiuyu felt a little strange when he saw them looking at the statue of the king of medicine so eagerly.
"There's no time. Let's try and see if we can move this stone statue!"
Long Tianyu immediately did as Lin Mengya suggested.
