Chapter 1402 The Giant Serpent

……

I saw the giant snake open a huge mouth large enough to swallow a whole elephant, and the two fangs of more than 1 meter were hideous and terrifying, and the red mouth was intimidating, but this was not the main thing.

A stream of white venom, like water spewed out by a firefighter's high-pressure sprinkler, swept across the sky, flying for hundreds of meters before spilling down.

"Ah, save me......!"

The mournful cry, like a wail from hell, was enough to strike fear into the hearts of all who heard it.

But the cries of misery only lasted for a few seconds before they subsided.

"Alas!"

Liu Dong sighed in his heart.

He understood that the monks of the Great Bodhi Temple were basically finished, except for the old monk Shoumei.

Looking at the giant cobra that sprayed venom and chased towards the fleeing Shoumei old monk with great movement, Liu Dong looked at the direction they left, and it was also the direction he had just come in and said secretly: "I hope they can listen to me!"

"Oops, Valtana, they're still on the cliff!" Nancy, who reacted, said with a worried face.

"Don't worry, I already gave him a note to leave early with his bodyguards when we left!"

"Really?"

"I never lie!" Liu Dong comforted Nancy's expectant eyes.

But he wasn't sure if his note would work. If those bodyguards don't trust themselves, then they will definitely die.

But even so, Liu Dong didn't feel guilty in his heart.

Originally, everyone was a stranger, and if it weren't for Nancy's face, he wouldn't have done anything more. Moreover, he did everything he could. Whether those people are dead or alive depends on how they choose.

"Boss, what do we do next?"

"Hehe, someone finally helped us lure that big monster away, if we don't seize the opportunity to go into the temple to have a look, wouldn't we be too sorry for others?"

Looking at the smile on Liu Dong's face, Nancy had an epiphany: "You already knew that there would be a giant snake here?"

"Of course, that's what you told me!"

"At the beginning?"

Nancy suddenly understood that when he told Liu Dongjiang about the story of the Mauryan Temple, he did say such a paragraph. But Nancy didn't believe in this story from the pile of old papers in the British Museum, and even less so in something like a myth and legend like the giant serpent.

"Nancy, look what ...... that's that!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Nancy immediately looked in the direction behind her that Liu Dong was pointing. However, before she could see what was going on behind her, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, then her eyes went black, and then she didn't know anything.

"Boss, what are you?"

"Although the giant snake was led away by the old monk Luojia, I don't know how long he can be dragged by him, but it definitely won't last! In order to save time as much as possible, that's the only way!" After holding Nancy in his arms, Liu Dong said.

Of course, he could also use the relics to enter the temple in a relic. But in contrast, Liu Dong still prefers to use his own eyes to see this underground temple where the 9 generations of kings of the Peacock Dynasty are buried.

"Let's go, we're running out of time!"

"Yes, boss!"

Both of them are martial arts masters, and their speed is naturally dozens of times faster than ordinary people, even in this dense jungle. In just a few minutes, the two of them had already arrived at the front of the main hall, on the bluestone square with an area of about 300 square meters.

Of course, at this moment, this square is covered with huge snake moults, because of the large number, stepping on it actually feels a little bit like stepping on the sofa, soft and loose!

Liu Dong's gaze didn't linger too much on these snakes, and his attention quickly focused on the main body of the temple next to him.

I didn't think much of it when I was far away just now, but after walking in, it made Liu Dong admire the wisdom of these ancient Peacock Dynasty ancestors.

Not to mention how they found this underground space, just building a huge stone block with a length of nearly 10 meters, a width and a height of 2 meters, and a weight of more than 50 tons into a square temple with a height of more than 25 meters and a length and width of more than 100 meters, is enough to make people shocked.

And also in the era of low productivity BC!

If this place is made public, I am afraid that there will be one more unsolved mystery in the heads of archaeologists from all over the world.

The temple in front of you is a marvel of ancient engineering comparable to the ancient Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall of China.

Of course, sighing and sighing, Liu Donghai will not forget the main purpose of his coming here.

Coming to the main entrance of the temple, which is also the only portal, Liu Dong looked left and right at the almost lifelike cobra sculpture made of bronze next to him, and his eyes focused on the giant bronze portal that was 3 meters wide and 5 meters high.

You don't need to measure to know that these two bronze giant doors with divine patterns engraved on the surface are amazingly heavy, and if you don't have special construction machinery, or master the correct way to enter, you don't want to get a glimpse of the true face of the Mauryan Temple.

After turning over his hand and taking out the three-ring Falun from the mustard seed space, and comparing the depressions of the same size in the center of the two bronze portals, Liu Dong understood that this three-ring Falun was the key to open the bronze portal.

But obviously, it is not enough to have the key, you also need the code to unlock the lock.

This is obviously beyond the scope of Liu Dong's understanding.

Fortunately, he still has a backhand, so there is no need to be so troublesome. After putting the three-ring Falun into the mustard seed space, Liu Dong took out two oxygen tanks, one for Nancy, who was unconscious in his arms, and the other for Luo Di next to him.

In the tombs, which have not been opened for more than 2,000 years, there is almost no oxygen. And Liu Dong estimated that the giant snake would not have much time to ventilate, so he could only use an oxygen tank.

"Take it!"

"Yes, boss!"

Luo Di trusts Liu Dong as always.

After he buckled the oxygen tank, Liu Dong turned around and looked at the bronze portal in front of him, and his heart moved. Immediately, through the relics of the Yuanguang, the thick and heavy bronze door was collected into the mustard seed space.

Looking at the open door, Liu Dong walked in with anticipation on his face.

As for Liu Dongjue's very amazing methods, Luo Di, who had seen it several times in the ancient city of 'Herakps' in Egypt, didn't want to be so shocked at first.

After taking a deep breath, Luo Di hurriedly followed Liu Dong's pace and walked towards the dark entrance.

After the two entered the temple, the bronze door that had disappeared reappeared, as if nothing had changed.

"Boss, you can make a lot of money again this time!"

"Yes!" Looking at the golden light under the strong light of the flashlight, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction.

He really felt very satisfied, in the first floor of this directional temple with a side length of nearly 100 meters, except for the sixteen huge pillars supporting the temple that were hugged by eight people, and the aisle with a width of 6 meters in the middle, the rest of the place was basically occupied by a large number of gold and silver objects, bronze objects with unique shapes, exquisite jade and precious stones.

Coming down the steps at the doorway and walking in front of the stacked jewels, Liu Dong reached out and grabbed a gold chain with the thickness of his arm, and with a 'bang', the heavy gold chain twisted and circled like a dragon in Liu Dong's hand.

With this shake, the length of this chain made of pure gold came out.

12 meters, should be an accurate number. And in terms of weight, Liu Dong estimates that it is close to a ton!

There are 10 more chains like this next to it!

Others such as gold cups, gold bowls, silver cups, silver chains, gemstone jewelry, etc. As the first dynasty to unify the Indian continent, the Mauryan Empire's wealth was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In this hall, although the value of gold, silver, bronze, precious stones, ivory, and rhino horn works of art cannot be counted, the weight of pure gold coins, gold nuggets and golden sand is no less than 120 tons!

While 120 tonnes is nothing for the current level of global gold production, it was an unimaginably large fortune in the era of backward productivity 2,000 years ago!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich country.

Of course, that's not all, because this temple is not limited to the level that Liu Dong has seen. Moreover, the Mauryan Empire informed the Indian continent for nearly two hundred years, accumulating wealth far beyond people's imagination.

Putting down the gold chain, along the corridor leading to the back of the main hall, Liu Dong walked to the inside of the main hall. The stone staircase leading to the second floor is here.

When Liu Dong and Luo Di entered the second floor of the main hall, they found that the space here was far less spacious than the first floor, or that most of its space was divided!

Except for a 500-square-meter plaza in the middle, the remaining space is divided into 8 different spaces with smooth stones.

In front of the stone door where each space was sealed was a two-meter-high, bronze figure!

Upon closer inspection, Liu Dong found that the images of these bronze statues were different, some of them were holding weapons such as long swords or spears, while others were holding jade seals, and even things like Falun and tokens.

But although the images and demeanors of these bronze statues are different, what they have in common is that they are almost all dressed as emperors at the same time.

According to Liu Dong's guess, these bronze statues were built according to the faces of the emperors of the Mauryan Dynasty.

And, surprisingly, I don't know what material is added to these bronze statues, two thousand years have passed, except for a thick layer of dust, there is no rust at all.

After his eyes quickly swept over the eight bronze statues, Liu Dong's gaze shifted to the center of the space.

There is also a statue of a deity four meters tall, with eight heads and four arms, holding a snake in the east, a scepter in the west, a flame in the south, and a spear in the north.

To Liu Dong's surprise, the material used to carve this deity was not gold or silver, but a whole piece of high-ice jadeite. Especially at the head of the statue, it has achieved the transparency and color of the glass. (To be continued.) )
