Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 137 This place is too clean

Since the entire stele is there, it would be the best.

Because the characters on it were densely packed with strange seal characters, Fang Yao felt a headache after just one glance, and turned her head to ask Fan Chen: "Do you know the characters? Quickly see if there are any clues to the mechanism."

Fan Chen got up and jumped lightly, then jumped onto the stone platform, looked at her with a strange expression, "Didn't you recognize..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the stele, and his expression suddenly changed.

Fang Yao frowned: "What is written on it?"

Fan Chen stared at the line of words in the bottom corner for a long time, and then said calmly: "This is the monument of merit and virtue. It records the names of all the people who participated in the construction of the underground tunnel in Zhangxiang County."

"what……"

Fang Yao was a little sluggish, could it be that this stone tablet...is that all?
She hurriedly pointed to the back, "Have you looked carefully? There is still a piece behind."

Fan Chen lowered his head and glanced at her small shoulders, and said: "When you are as tall as me one day, you will know whether I have seen the back."

"..."

The corners of Fang Yao's mouth twitched, what's so great about standing tall and seeing far away.

Reluctantly, she pressed the standing stone tablet hard again, but she couldn't press it at all, and couldn't turn it.

This stele is simply fixed here.

Knowing where the epidemic demon is hiding, but unable to fight, this makes her very impatient.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Fang Yao saw Gouwa lying beside the stele, looking at it seriously, and said sullenly, "Gouwa, what are you doing?"

She remembered that Gouwa seemed to have only learned how to write "one, two, three" these days, and she couldn't read all the characters on the stone tablet, let alone Gouwa...

I'm afraid I don't know a single word.

she thought silently.

"Master, do you think this character looks like your harpoon." Gou Wa pointed to the place Fan Chen had looked at for a long time just now, and said, "Is it the character for fish?"

Fang Yao glanced at it casually, and said casually: "No, the word Nianmu is the wood of Mr. Mu."

After speaking, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind.

The legendary old juggler in the cave temple was named Mu, and Fan Chen also called himself Mu, and there is still Mu on this stone tablet.

In the days since she came to Daxiang Kingdom, she has never met anyone surnamed Mu, so how come she can't be related to the surname Mu when encountering these strange things?

Fang Yao glanced at Fan Chen strangely...

Fan Chen completely ignored her scorching gaze, and stretched out his left hand to gently caress the broken section of the stele.

The section was uneven, and his slender fingers with well-defined joints stroked it carefully, as if he was probing for any hidden mechanism here.

Fang Yao suddenly grabbed his hand, Fan Chen's body stiffened immediately, and he said in surprise, "You...what are you doing..."

However, Fang Yao just turned over his palm, stared at his clean fingertips for a while, then let go, and asked in a low voice: "You guys who came here first, have you ever touched this stele?"

After Fan Chen withdrew his hand, he pinched his fingers calmly by his side, and said calmly, "The group of people hid above their heads and attacked us. Empty."

Fang Yao's heart was still pounding, she squatted down immediately, reached out to touch the half of the inscription lying on the ground, and touched a few other places on the stone platform.

Gouwa thought it was his master who was exploring the hidden mechanism, and hurriedly followed in a circle to explore various places on the stone platform.

Only Fan Chen watched her move thoughtfully, and then lowered his eyes to look at his hand that was held just now.

"I see……"

He murmured, already understood something.

On the other side, Fang Yao's heart also started beating violently.

This stone platform and stele were so clean, as if someone had cleaned them with a feather duster.

Even the small pits on the section of the broken stele and the small gaps in the corners were not spared.

She could only think of one purpose for the other party to clean up so cleanly.

To avoid leaving footprints and handprints in a thick cloud of dust, the ultimate goal is likely to destroy the flaws in the exposed mechanism.

She was secretly surprised, and had to admit that the plague monsters she encountered seemed to be getting smarter and smarter besides their strength.

The mask on her face seemed to be getting hotter because of her emotional changes.

Listening to the heartbeat and hoarse panting that was close at hand, Fang Yao narrowed her eyes, and her eyes fell on the only place that was not checked.

huh... huh...

More and more black mist emerged from the cracks.

The wound on the plague monster's head should not heal yet, it spent a lot of time hiding here, I'm afraid this place can give it peace of mind to heal its wounds.

The organ must be turned on as soon as possible to get rid of it!

Fang Yao said to Gouwa who was still beating around the stone platform: "Don't look for it, you and the military master over there, first go to the secret passage next to you to hide."

"Master, you are looking for..."

Gouwa was overjoyed, and just opened his mouth to say a few words, but was interrupted coldly by Fan Chen, "Go as soon as I tell you."

"..."

Gouwa glanced at Fan Chen angrily and aggrievedly, but this man saved the master and him just now, so he could only jump off the stone platform sullenly, and helped drag Dong'er into the secret passage together with the soldiers.

Fang Yao has no time to care about other people now, she took a deep breath, clenched the harpoon in her hand, and slowly walked towards the middle, where she stayed at the beginning.

Fan Chen also came over, and the two looked at each other, and they both looked at the half of the stone tablet lying on the ground.

Fang Yao stretched out her hand and pointed to the stone tablet at her feet. Fan Chen nodded, and then slowly squatted down.

Fan Chen held the sword in one hand, and gently placed the other hand on the surface of the spotless stone tablet.

Fang Yao stared closely at his movements and the stele. She held her breath, and her palms holding the harpoon were slightly wet.

Fan Chen lifted the stele upwards vigorously, his body froze immediately, and he didn't move it at all!
Fang Yao frowned, just as she was about to squat down to help him, Fan Chen suddenly narrowed her eyes and pushed forward hard.

click, click...

The stone platform under their feet turned slowly, and Gouwa and the soldiers hiding in the secret passage were shocked to see that the gap, which was originally less than half an inch wide, was getting bigger and wider...

"call……"

A column of water with a strong stench suddenly sprayed out, flying straight towards Gouwa and the others' secret passage!
"Be careful--"

Fang Yao yelled, Gouwa and the soldiers hurried back to the back of the secret passage, the water column fell on the stone wall next to the entrance of the secret passage, and there were groups of white four-legged snakes that had not been completely chewed inside!

"My dear old boy!"

The soldier had never seen such a scene before, and immediately vomited out while holding the stone wall.

On the other side, Fang Yao held the harpoon and quickly approached the edge of the stone platform. The stone platform rose higher and higher, and it was more than one foot above the ground!
She was about to grit her teeth and jump down, when suddenly her shoulders tightened, her body lightened, and her whole body fell gently to the ground.

Fang Yao didn't have time to thank Fan Chen, a tuft of dark green long hair suddenly appeared and rolled towards the two of them!
