It's not clear whether there is poison on that organ, but it's still necessary to do a good job of hand protection, after all, your life is very important.

After Xing Jie looked around, he began to walk towards the gate.

The mechanism is very complete, and at a glance, you can tell that it has not been opened since it was set up back then! This means that this guy Ono Naka Jiro just gave up after exploring this place? Xing Jie looked back, and from opening the hole at the top of the mountain to here, it was only two or three hundred meters underground.

This is a little wrong, although this kind of six-son alliance mechanism looks very complicated, but as long as you put some effort into understanding the mechanism, and if you are careful, it is not a particularly difficult thing to crack it.

After all, it's very close to how the current safe works.

But why did Jiro Onaka give up?

Is it a discovery of conscience, or is it a limited intellect?

Conscience with such a guy?

Hehe.

Intellect?

It doesn't seem like that's necessarily the case, after all, I graduated from Kyoto University, so I can't say I'm a fool.

If it's neither, then there's only one possibility.

That is, they can't get close there. If it was an ancient defense mechanism, it might be a great threat to ordinary people, but in the face of an organized and disciplined army, then unless the entire temple was destroyed as soon as it was opened, otherwise, those arrows and swords could kill a few people.

Wasn't that the case true when the Tanglin thief Sun Dianying dug Cixi's tomb? Who cares if you are a huge stone to seal the door, who cares if you are a fire and water, and the explosives are directly on the ground, and Cixi's body was thrown away just over 20 years after his death.

So the ancient mechanism seems unlikely, so is it a defensive ban or a maze?

That's a problem.

Xing Jie's mind was racing, and his eyes kept scanning the surrounding environment. However, I didn't find any patterns that resembled illusions or defensive blocks. When he opened the four stone pillars one by one with the six-character formula of the public loser with a confused face, and finally closed the stone ring in the middle, with the rumbling sound, the stone door suddenly opened.

The people in the Holy See were elated, and after Hank and the others were sure that there was no danger, the group walked directly into the stone gate. Immediately there were bursts of exclamations.

In the eyes of the papal see, this place was very different from the ruins they had encountered before. There's no era-ahead décor here, and there's no fighting creatures everywhere. It's just a huge underground space, and within this space, it's obvious that it's an ancient building complex.

Xing Jie was bored.

It is clear that this is another ruin like the temple of Lop Nur, which is similar in layout both in terms of size and the style of the statues. The only difference is that although it is relatively complete, of course its scale is also relatively small.

You must know that even if the Lop Nur Temple is only preserved by a dozen tenths, it still has more than 200,000 square meters, which is as big as half of the imperial capital square.

The ruins here are very intact and are a monolithic circular complex. Through this, Xing Jie can be regarded as knowing the overall appearance of the Lop Nur Temple.

In the middle is a large circular square, which is divided into three floors as a whole.

At the outermost level are twenty-four statues, the second layer becomes twelve, and in the middle is a huge sacred tree tens of meters high. Although the distance is relatively far, it can still be seen that this sacred tree is different from those 'apple trees' or the 'Saba' sacred trees in the D2 desert, and its overall style is quite similar to the bronze Assyrian sacred tree in the Pyramid of the Moon in Mexico.

"Let's go and investigate. Be careful, be careful. And the square should never be set foot on, I don't know if there is such a weapon as 'mirage' on this sacred tree. Since you're following me now, I don't want you to be minced meat and sent back to the Vatican in a sealed bag!

Natasha, send someone up to contact the Pope and ask him to prepare the Eye of Bluestone. If there is a mechanism here, the Eye of Bluestone will be the key to unlocking. By the way, let him prepare a few black eyes. Don't ask what it is, the old man definitely knows!"

Xing Jie's words are orders, and this is what the Pope personally instructed everyone when they came. In the Holy See, the Pope's word is heaven!

Hank nodded and pounced directly on the buildings on the edge of the square, while Natasha sent her men and stood beside Xing Jie.

"Still thinking about Jiro Onochu's abnormal behavior?"

"Well, at first I thought there would be a ban rune or maze outside the mechanism, but there was nothing. It's very unreasonable, why did they just stop exploring the first layer of mechanism?"

Natasha glanced at Xing Jie suspiciously, but didn't say anything. Just took out the tablet, clicked on the file, and gave it to him.

"Mr. Xing Jie, sometimes I feel that you are really blessed by God Almighty. Actually, I just wanted to ask you a question, why did you turn a blind eye to a fork in the road here, and then we went all the way without encountering any danger?"

Xing Jie didn't pick up the tablet, but just smiled and lit a cigarette.

After taking a slow puff, he looked at Natasha and said with a smile: "In all fairness, in fact, the road just now is more like the right road in terms of slope, smoothness, and even the fineness of the construction, right?"

Indeed, in our eyes at the time, that path should be the right way forward. But you are the general adviser and the supreme commander of this operation, and we can only follow your actions. But what does it mean that it turned out to be so smooth?" asked Natasha, after a moment of reflection.

"This layout looks very simple, but it's actually very insidious. It harnesses the most fundamental human instinct, which is that what is good is right. In today's words, appearance is justice!

It's a subconscious because humans unconsciously follow their instinctive preference for the good to judge what's at stake. For example, in film and television, the positive characters are often played by handsome or beautiful people, and the negative characters are played by people with hideous faces. However, although this is not the case in real life, people will subconsciously acquiesce.

And this kind of mechanism that uses the subconscious choice of human beings is very mature in our ancient Chinese tomb culture, and this kind is just a branch of it, its name is Yin Yang Road. You should be glad you didn't encounter its variant, the Ladder of Hanging Souls. Well, that's what you often call the Penrose Ladder. Xing Jie said with a smile.

Natasha was a little devastated, because in her treasure hunting experience, the trick was the trick, either a boulder, or fire or water, and it was straightforward, one flop and two stares. And China's mechanism art has already involved the philosophical level?

Do you want to be like this?

Are all those mechanics Lionel Penrose?

But this is not you China, this is the Kiribati Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

"Do you mean that those Dongying people went the other way and suffered heavy losses?"

"It's hard to say, we don't have time right now. I'll explore this place a bit, and I'll see if there's any clues on the other road. If this matter is not implemented, I don't know the bottom of my heart. If a good lightning weapon like Jiro Onaka can't be used well, that's our shame!"
