Chapter 186: Red and White (Subscription, Collection, Recommendation)
Ryan felt that the content of his adventure was getting stranger and stranger, and he thought that this was just a simple temple adventure to deal with some magic traps and traps. As a result, not only did the dumplings run out, but there were quite a few of them, and he felt that his adventure was now more and more like a fight.
But it's normal to think about it, after all, archaeologists have found sacrifices or noble burial sites of ancient Mayan civilizations in many Mayan pyramid temples, just as there are many famous tombs in churches in Europe. So it's understandable that there is a cemetery in the Mayan temple of the wizarding world. The only thing I can't understand is why those members of the Blood God Cult chose to place their base on top of the cemetery, what is the difference between this and grave jumping?
Standing in front of the stone gate, Ryan silently prayed that there would be no more zongzi in front of him. After all, he neither touched the golden talisman nor the black donkey's hooves, and he was really not ready to fight backwards.
Fortunately, it took a long time for many of the runes on the door to be concealed to disappear, so Ryan used his Eagle Eye skill in front of the door to easily see the flow of magic on the door. He drew his wand and spewed golden threads in the air, allowing them to demonstrate the magical structure of the stone door.
Hermione saw Ryan writing and drawing in the air after facing the magic structure demonstrated, looked at it for a while and said to him, "I'll show you it." Then he did a quick calculation. The two of them were really much more efficient in their calculations, and in the calculations, they found that these magic structures were not very complicated, and it only took a little time to find the breakthrough point.
After five or six minutes, Hermione signaled that she had finished the calculations and pointed out to Ryan that in order to open the stone door, it was necessary to infuse the five patterns on the door with mana at the same time, and if the magic was infused incorrectly, the magical defense system would be activated.
After reading Hermione's calculations, Ryan realized that the biggest difficulty here was not the simple magic structure on the stone door at all, but the fact that these five patterns needed to be infused with magic at the same time, and each magic power could not be less than the total amount of magic power of an adult wizard.
Originally, this was a mechanism set up in the temple in the past to prevent the infiltration of hostile forces, after all, in this kind of high-level temple, the chance of finding five traitors from the same force at the same time is very small, and this kind of door in the core area is not something that foreign enemies can break in when the temple is still functioning normally.
The stone door itself was made of two large pieces of obsidian, which could easily attract the attention of the people in the core hall above if it were forced open.
But the temple's designers probably didn't expect that a thousand years after they abandoned the temple, a wizard would be able to open the stone door with special tricks.
Ryan fixed five jade talismans that were infused with magic power to those patterns, then used the silk threads dyed red by rooster blood to connect the jade talismans together, and finally held the silk threads with both hands to stimulate the magic on the talismans.
The jade talisman emitted a faint white light, and the stone door immediately opened to both sides, but after opening the stone door, the contents of the room Ryan were taken aback.
Behind the door is a space the size of a football field, and apart from a small platform at the entrance, there is a whole huge pothole. The pit was completely filled with blood, and a large number of white bones floated and fell in this pool of blood. Even after thousands of years, this blood still remains fresh.
The pool of red blood and white bones intertwine into a mysterious picture. A black mist drifted in mid-air in the pool of blood, and it made a heart-palpitating buzzing sound.
In the middle of the blood pool is an unfenced stone arch bridge, one end connected to the platform at the doorway, and the other end to the other side of the blood pool. On the other side there is also a corresponding platform, and there is a gleaming gate directly opposite the platform. From time to time, a trace of red mist appeared from the pool of blood, and it was absorbed by the gate after the gate.
The gate flickered with golden light each time it absorbed the mist, and Ryan noticed that the blood-red mist appeared at a regular time. And the gate flickered regularly as the mist flew in, and it felt like a living creature breathing there.
It seems that this part of the map was probably not weathered but deliberately erased in order to hide this seemingly evil pool of blood.
"Oh my God!" Hermione exclaimed as she came in from behind, covering her mouth with her hands, after all, for a girl who grew up in a peaceful era, all this was too exciting.
"What the hell is going on?" Hermione asked Ryan after taking a few deep breaths to stabilize her emotions.
"Blood sacrifices, blood sacrifices of the natives. Ryan said to Hermione, his voice trembling a little at this time, because he was not only explaining to Hermione, but also hoping to distract himself from the anxiety in his heart through such explanations.
"I remember the first day we came to Castro Brushuo School, the professor told us that before the school was established, cruel blood ritual magic was popular in the local area, and this should be a place for blood ritual magic. And the path we just took was probably for the sacrifices. After finishing speaking, Ryan also figured out one thing in his mind: the servants marked on the map were not the servants who served people as he originally imagined, but the servants who needed to sacrifice their lives to serve the so-called blood god.
"Look here. After taking a look at his surroundings, Ryan pointed to a humanoid groove on the small platform beneath his feet. "The sacrifice was supposed to be killed here. Their hearts are then sacrificed for certain magical rituals, and their corpses are thrown directly into pools of blood for nourishment. ”
"How do you know?" asked Hermione, trembling slightly. "You haven't been here before. ”
"The relief at the foot says it all. Ryan lightly stomped on the ground with his foot before Hermione looked away from the attention-grabbing pool of blood. Sure enough, this small platform shows the entire sacrificial process in relief like a caricature.
"Looking at the current situation, this is not only a temple, but also a tomb. Do you remember what you read about the history of magic in the Castro Brushuo Academy?"
"Let me think, ah, yes. Hermione spun around twice and then suddenly said, "The native wizards have believed from the distant planet Sirius since ancient times, so in the high-level tombs, there must be a passage from the tomb where the owner of the tomb is located to the outside world, pointing to the location of Uranus." For us, the passage of a chamber of this size is large enough for us to escape. ”
"That's right, the only problem now is that behind the golden gate is the secret room, but I don't think a tomb owner who can kill so many people is a very benevolent person, so this pool of blood is probably not so easy to pass through. Ryan finished directing a mummy he had just taken control of to walk towards the stone bridge.
