Chapter 511: The lost tiger-shaped jade pendant? It was destroyed long ago!
Yi Xiaochuan stared at the deep groove in front of him, and an indescribable sense of familiarity surged in his heart. He couldn't help but walk forward and gestured with his own hands, and the fragments of memory in his mind began to piece together gradually. After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and finally remembered the thing that made him feel so familiar - it was the tiger-shaped jade pendant that he always carried with him when he traveled through time!
Yi Xiaochuan never expected that this seemingly ordinary jade pendant would have such an intricate connection with this imperial mausoleum. Unfortunately, the jade pendant that meant so much to him had long since disappeared. Back then, when he was being pursued by Gao Yao and had nowhere to go, he accidentally fell into a bottomless mountain stream. When he woke up, no matter how hard he searched, the tiger-shaped jade pendant had disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.
In fact, Yi Xiaochuan knew very well that this tiger-shaped jade pendant was not an ordinary thing. If it had not appeared to save his life, he would have died at the hands of Gao Yao. Now, all the clues seem to have gradually become clear: the mysterious box, the long-lost tiger-shaped jade pendant, the incredible journey through time and space, and the star heard from Gao Yao, now everything seems to be hidden behind this door. Going inside will answer all the questions in Yi Xiaochuan's heart, and even connect the fragmented fragments of the past one by one, making the context of the whole incident clearer and clearer.
At this moment, Yang Shuo, who was standing aside, stared at the closed stone door in front of him with a frown. After looking it up and down, he shook his head helplessly, because the stone door looked extremely solid and there was no flaw that could be opened by conventional means.
Yang Shuo gritted his teeth, then turned around and waved decisively to the people behind him. Those people quickly stepped forward and skillfully untied the bags they were carrying. In an instant, a number of small jars with strange shapes were exposed to everyone's sight. These small jars were tightly sealed, but there was a thin fuse left.
"Stop! What on earth do you want to do?" Yi Xiaochuan, who had not paid attention to the situation here, suddenly discovered the actions of Yang Shuo and others, and couldn't help but exclaimed. When he saw the fuses on the small jars clearly, his heart sank suddenly, and a look of horror instantly appeared on his face.
Yi Xiaochuan was not stupid. He had heard about the mysterious object that could make a loud noise since the news came out in the southern border. He knew very well that this thing was the legendary black gunpowder. However, he never expected that black gunpowder would appear here, and the time of its appearance was much earlier than the historical records.
Yi Xiaochuan had no time to care about how Gao Yao had extracted black gunpowder and successfully applied it. After all, during the time he had spent with Gao Yao, he had already seen many abnormalities in him. In comparison, the fact that he could make black gunpowder didn't seem that surprising.
"Of course we have to blow this place up. Otherwise, how are we going to get in? If you don't understand, just get out of the way."
Yang Shuo stared at Yi Xiaochuan, and seeing that he was actually trying to stop him, he couldn't help but think to himself: Doesn't this guy even know what this thing is? So, he shouted without hesitation: "Yi Xiaochuan, get out of my way!" At the same time, the people standing next to Yang Shuo quickly drew their gleaming weapons, and they all looked fierce, staring at Yi Xiaochuan, ready to fight at any time.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xiaochuan gritted his teeth in anger and cursed in his heart: These guys really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! He suppressed his anger and shouted loudly: "Don't mess around! This is gunpowder. If you detonate it here, let alone whether you can blow open this door, if it causes the surrounding collapse, we will all be trapped here!"
Yang Shuo was startled at first, then he looked around suspiciously. After observing for a while, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. He obviously had some doubts about Yi Xiaochuan's words, but for a moment he couldn't make up his mind whether he should believe what the other party said.
Seeing this, Yi Xiaochuan continued to say, "This is a mausoleum. Even if Gao sent you here to look for something, he would never allow you to destroy it so wantonly! If you really blow up this tomb passage, no one will be able to come in from now on. This is obviously a mechanism. We have to find a way to find the key to open it, instead of just blindly destroying it. Do you understand?"
Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling somewhat helpless. Gao Yao had finally developed black powder after much effort, but the problems that followed were also very obvious. Because those who used black powder knew very little about it, and even didn't know some of the most basic and common common sense issues.
Take the current incident for example. If it were an ordinary adult in modern society, they would probably understand the key points. However, for people living in this era, this knowledge is too unfamiliar and profound. Their cognitive level is far from being able to understand and use this kind of technology.
Yang Shuo listened carefully to Yi Xiaochuan's endless talk and observed his expression carefully, finding that he showed no signs of lying. After all, everyone knew the amazing power of black powder. Since Yi Xiaochuan mentioned this matter so seriously, there must be hidden dangers that need to be taken seriously. So Yang Shuo quickly asked, "Key? What kind of key is it?"
It was just as Yang Shuo thought. If the key problem could not be properly solved, it would be impossible to successfully open the tightly locked stone door. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Xiaochuan, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer.
Yang Shuo stared at the heavy stone door in front of him, frowning, his face full of helplessness. He turned to look at Yi Xiaochuan who was also looking worried.
"Alas, I really don't have any good ideas! If I had any, why would I wait until now? This stone door is extremely solid. It cannot be opened except by keys and explosions." Yi Xiaochuan also spread his hands and said,
