Chapter 357: Suspended Plank Road
Lin Tian knew very well that this treasure house was built by the top craftsmen of the Cloud Country, and there were all kinds of unexpected traps in it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If you want to successfully find the three dragon scales and return to the main hall alive, you must be careful.
He counted his steps silently as he looked at the walls of the cave around him, looking for some clues.
Whenever he noticed a relief or mural on the cave wall, he would stop and observe for a while, and quietly open the eye of the sky.
It's a pity that he walked more than a mile in the passage, a full thousand steps, and observed three reliefs and murals, but he didn't find any clues.
These reliefs and frescoes, really just reliefs and frescoes, do not hide any information.
This also made Lin Tian more sure that he had observed the Gate of the Hidden Dragon with the eye of heaven before, and the 'painting' found in the cloud dragon relief must be of great significance and a very important clue.
At this time, Bai Yuqing asked Lin Tian in a low voice: "Linzi, why is this passage so long?" ā
"We've all gone so far, and we've made a few turns, we must have gone deep underground, right?"
Lin Tian also frowned, and said in an uncertain tone: "It should be." ā
"But don't worry, Yuqing. This island is not big in the first place, and even if this passage is long, it will not exceed ten kilometers, so let's continue walking. ā
"Hmm." Bai Yuqing nodded, feeling a lot more settled.
The two of them continued to move forward, and after turning a corner, they saw that a hundred meters ahead, the passage came to an end.
At the end of the passage there is a stone gate more than three meters high, the stone gate is closed, and no one knows what is outside.
"It's finally over."
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took Bai Yuqing to speed up his pace.
When he came to the vicinity of the stone gate, Lin Tian did not act rashly, and first observed the situation.
I saw that this stone gate, which is more than three meters high and two meters wide, just completely sealed the entrance of the passage.
On the walls on both sides of the stone gate, there were also two brass casting lamps, which had been rusted and covered with dust.
The stone door was carved with some simple lines, covered in a thick layer of dust, and was already somewhat blurred.
Lin Tian could roughly see that the pattern composed of those lines was a dragon with three heads...... No, it would be more appropriate to say python.
The python's body hovered, and its three heads were located in the middle of the stone door, which was also the mechanism that opened the stone door.
Lin Tian had to press the python head in the middle to activate the mechanism and open the stone door.
Before opening the mechanism, he frowned and thought for a while, and said to Bai Yuqing: "Yuqing, you step back a little." ā
After what happened before, Bai Yuqing also guessed that there were probably mechanisms and hidden weapons in this stone gate.
So she nodded, and silently took ten steps back.
Lin Tian confirmed that Bai Yuqing's position was relatively safe, so he reached out and pressed the python head on the stone door.
With a soft "click", the tall and heavy stone door slowly opened a gap, and countless dust was shaken down.
Lin Tian hurriedly took ten steps back and covered his mouth and nose with his gloves to avoid inhaling the dust that had been deposited for countless years.
He and Bai Yuqing were both staring at the stone gate, vigilantly on guard.
In the main hall, the Buddha, Yi Hongtu and others were also staring at the picture on the screen, secretly worried that there might be mechanisms and hidden weapons in the stone gate.
As the stone door opened little by little, everyone's hearts also rose.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound in the passage, like the sound of two stone slabs rubbing against each other.
On the rock wall beside Lin Tian and Bai Yuqing, there were six black stones that had sunken down, and six oval-shaped black holes appeared.
In the dark hole, two sharp spears suddenly stretched out, stabbing fiercely at Lin Tian and Bai Yuqing.
This scene shocked everyone's hearts and changed their faces on the spot.
No one thought that the secret weapon of this stone gate was not behind the door, but by Lin Tian and Bai Yuqing's side!
It's too insidious, it's too scary!
Although, the twelve spears were already rotted and rusty, and even somewhat deformed.
But these spears are iron weapons after all, and they still have terrifying lethality.
Lin Tian and Bai Yuqing were too close to the rock wall to dodge at all, and they were about to be pierced by twelve spears.
said that it was too late, and at this critical moment, Lin Tian suddenly hugged Bai Yuqing and lay on the ground without hesitation.
Twelve spears grazed over their heads, stabbing the rock walls on either side.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The spear pierced the cold, hard rock wall, and made a sound of gold and iron resonating, which shook people's eardrums.
Lin Tian and Bai Yuqing were not stabbed by the spear, they were lucky enough to escape, they both let out a sigh of relief, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
Buddha and Yi Hongtu and others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts fell back into their stomachs.
After a while, the stone door at the end of the passage was completely open.
There was some faint light outside the door, which lifted Lin Tian and Bai Yuqing's spirits.
The two of them got up from the ground and carefully passed through the twelve spears to the end of the passage.
Lin Tian stood by the door, looked out, and saw that the door was empty, completely suspended in mid-air.
He observed for a while, and then he could see what was happening outside the door.
It turned out that this stone gate was on a straight and steep rock face.
Above him was a dark night sky, with only a few inconspicuous stars, emitting a faint glow.
Below the stone gate is a straight cliff, and under the cliff there is a wide black river, and the black river is flowing slowly, which seems dead and silent.
No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end.
Bai Yuqing frowned, and said in a solemn tone: "Linzi, there is no road here, we can't continue to move forward, and the stone gate at the entrance is also closed, what should we do?" ā
It is true that they are now in a dilemma, and there is no way out.
Lin Tian showed a hint of a smile and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Yuqing, what do you see under my feet?" ā
As he spoke, Lin Tian stepped over the stone gate and stepped on the straight and steep rock wall with both feet.
Bai Yuqing shone a flashlight under her feet, only to find that there was a half-meter-wide path on the rock wall.
This trail is not so much a road as it is a plank road dug out by hand.
Fortunately, this plank road was dug directly into the rock wall when the craftsmen of Yunguo built the treasure house.
Although thousands of years have passed, the boardwalk is still usable, but it is full of dust and gravel, and it is dangerous to walk on it.
If it had been made of wood like an ordinary plank road, it would have been rotten and unusable by now.
Lin Tian took Bai Yuqing's hand, walked cautiously on the plank road, and said to her as he walked: "Yuqing, there is a river under our feet, as long as there is a river, there must be an exit." ā
"If we go downstream along this river, we will definitely find an outlet." (To be continued.) )
