The cave was as tall as an adult man and was wide enough for about three to four people. It extended all the way into the mountain.
There were obvious signs of man-made excavation on the walls of the cave. It was dark inside, and there was no end to it. From afar, it looked like a huge abyss that could swallow someone at any moment.
Shen Yijia held a matchstick in her hand and let Song Jingchen pull her along. At first, the two of them walked carefully, afraid that there were some hidden mechanisms inside.
However, after walking for half an hour, nothing unexpected happened.
In front of the two of them was a stone door. There were candlesticks on both sides of the stone door. The candlesticks were covered in a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
It took Shen Yijia a while to light the candles on it, and the surroundings lit up.
Shen Yijia searched for a long time but could not find a keyhole. “How do I open this?”
Song Jingchen fumbled with the stone door and finally fixed his gaze on the candlestick.
He placed his hand on the candlestick on the left and paused. “Stand behind me.”
Shen Yijia did not understand, but she still obediently took a few steps behind Song Jingchen.
Only then did Song Jingchen turn the candlestick hard.
There was a click.
Immediately after.
Whoosh!
A dense hole suddenly appeared in the stone door, and several sharp arrows shot out with a whoosh.
Shen Yijia’s pupils constricted. Just as she was about to move, Song Jingchen had already grabbed her waist with one hand and rushed back. He pulled out the sword at his waist with the other to block the arrows.
After a few seconds, the arrows stopped. There were already many sharp arrows stuck near their feet.
“This is too sinister,” Shen Yijia complained.
The first part of the journey made them lower their guard. The sudden attack at the door was definitely sinister.
Song Jingchen said, “It’s for catching people off guard.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “You’re good-looking. Anything you say is right.”
The arrow hole in the stone door closed and disappeared after the arrows stopped. Shen Yijia saw Song Jingchen looking at the candlestick on the right.
She beat him to it. “I’ll do it.”
With that, she flashed over and turned the candlestick. Song Jingchen couldn’t stop her even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time, because Shen Yijia broke off the candlestick.
She broke it off.
Shen Yijia was a little stunned as she held the candlestick. She swore that she had only turned it gently.
Song Jingchen was also a little surprised. He walked over and checked the fracture. He wanted to laugh, but when he saw Shen Yijia’s helpless expression, he held it in.
He cleared his throat. “This isn’t a mechanism.”
Therefore, if she couldn’t move it, Shen Yijia would twist it off.
Shen Yijia blushed. She might as well not explain.
In order to prevent Shen Yijia from feeling even more awkward, Song Jingchen didn’t continue this topic. Instead, he looked at the candlestick on the left again.
He pursed his lips and reached out to turn it again, only this time it was in the opposite direction.
He finally realized that the person who designed these things had a characteristic. He liked to catch people off guard. Ordinary people would not dare to touch this candlestick again even if they weren’t killed by the arrows.
He refused to act the way the creator wanted.
The clicking sound came again.
Shen Yijia stood beside Song Jingchen solemnly and stared at the stone door with a tense expression. She was waiting for an accident to happen before retreating with Song Jingchen.
