Chapter 45: The Secret Stone Gate of the Tomb Exploration
Several people walked about dozens of miles in the secret passage, and the further they walked, the more obvious the downward trend of the secret passage became, giving people the feeling of walking into the depths of the earth.
Driving slowly through the secret passage, when it began to be difficult to breathe, a large stone door in front of him ended the long secret passage.
The stone gate is damp with moss that cannot be seen, and the relief carvings with strange patterns can be faintly seen on the stone door in the mottling.
A cool breeze blows in the face, making people suddenly feel a strange atmosphere.
The dimly lit passages were empty, and the silence was eerily silent, and not a single sound could be heard.
Several lanterns hung on the stone walls on both sides of the secret passage, releasing a dull yellow light that seemed to burn forever, and the surrounding lights lit up.
The land around the secret passage stone gate is relatively wide, there is a hole platform, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants grow, the colors are gorgeous, and the splendid colors are colorful.
The platform at the entrance of the cave is a karst landform, peculiar and precipitous, such as the jade mountain towering, in a thousand postures, just like the entrance of a dragon palace, decorated with gold, as if entering a dream world.
Zhou Babao couldn't help but wonder: "Trees need sunlight and water to grow, but this secret passage only looks like a few everlasting lamps that can't be burned for thousands of years, how do these strange flowers and plants survive?"
Shen Tu looked around, and was also slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized: "The aura of this place is soaring to the sky, which is extraordinary! Although the secret passage is far away from the surface, it is deep and staggered, close to the center of the earth, if it is nourished by the extreme yin aura of the center of the earth, all things will also grow, lose nourishment, and all things will die." ”
"What kind of world is the other end of the secret passage stone door?" Zhou Babao glanced at the quaint giant stone door in the center of the platform at the entrance of the cave, half of which was already covered by dirt.
Xu Shixi looked at the stone gate that was only half exposed, and said: "This secret passage was built a long time ago, and it leads from the top of the sky to this stone gate, and there is no exit. If you want to escape, Shimen is the only hope. ”
Everyone's eyes are all focused on this huge and incomparably simple stone gate, although the moss is dense, but the strange pattern composed of broken stones embedded in it is faintly visible, and the color texture made of white marble on the side of the stone door is delicate and vivid.
"Then let's get rid of the dirt first!"
I don't know who said it, everyone repeatedly rolled up their sleeves and surrounded it, and cleared the dirt that covered the stone gate.
This is a huge stone gate, three zhang high, weighing more than 10 million jun, thick moss covers the stone gate, experiencing countless years of vicissitudes.
Xinyan frowned slightly, silently used her spiritual power, pressed her hands on the door, closed her eyes and concentrated, and found that the material of this giant stone door was extremely special, containing a powerful defensive energy, which could not be penetrated by spiritual power, and it was impossible to use brute force to open it.
Zhou Babao couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed over, jumped up violently, and his fat body just stepped on the bluestone slab in front of the threshold, and then picked up his fleshy fist and smashed it with a punch.
Bang! A muffled sound came out, Shimen did not move at all, and a huge force rebounded out, shaking Zhou Babao upside down three or four feet away.
Fortunately, Xu Shixi's eyes were quick to catch it, Rao was like this, or was dragged and slipped by the inertia of this amazing force, and both of them slammed into the wall of the secret passage.
"Don't mess around!" Yu Lei was already impatient, and suddenly became angry, and reprimanded twice, "Shimen is so weird, if it touches any big array because of this, then it will be a big trouble." ”
"Huh!" Shen Tu scanned the surroundings of the stone gate with the eyes of hell ghosts, and found that there was not the slightest crack in this stone gate, but there was an unexpected gain, "I took a closer look, and found that the small gravel on this stone gate was not a stone at all, but a combination of energy. I can't tell you what kind of energy it is, but I think it has something to do with the stone door, and maybe even the key to open the door. ”
Yu Lei nodded and said, "The small gravel is formed by the condensation of energy bodies, and if it is forcibly destroyed, not only will the stone door not be opened, but even the entire secret passage will collapse." ”
As soon as Shen Tu Yu Lei finished speaking, he immediately released the hell fire, and instantly brushed away the dense moss on the stone door, and the relief composed of broken stone energy bodies was clearly visible, and it turned out to be a cow and a bird pattern.
Zhou Babao looked at the gravel energy body pattern on the relief, and said strangely: "This stone door is really weird, the normal door carving is not a dragon or a phoenix, and there are few such patterns of the image of a cow's head and a bird's body." ”
"You're right, these patterns seem to be composed of simple symbols, but they contain the mysterious power of the ancient totem and the combination of heaven and earth. Normally, the ancient tribes would offer some wood carvings during the sacrifice, and these wood carving lines are also very simple, very similar to the patterns on the stone door, which are carved in the ancient era. The totems of the ancient tribes all have the outline of worshipping gods, and at that time, only the Jiuli tribe worshipped the totems of cattle and birds.
Although the soul was imprisoned by the magic of the Jiuli Divine Clan, he lost himself, and lived in the yang world for thousands of years, but he still remembered the totems of the ancient races.
Xinyan stared at the stone gate, frowned and said: "Look, everyone, this giant stone gate is thick and simple, and the two sides are not only carved with countless patterns, but these dense lines are connected to form two huge and peculiar patterns, and the left and right sides are engraved with zigzag symbols. ”
Everyone looked along the place pointed by Xinyan, and saw that there were tadpole symbols on both sides of the stone gate, which seemed to be the words of the ancestors, the comparison was simple, jerky and difficult to understand, and the meaning of the reference was quite puzzling.
Among the scenes, only the Hellhounds were the oldest and the most qualified, comparable to ancient cultural relics, and everyone looked at the two brothers with question marks on their faces.
Yu Lei was not polite, coughed in a low voice, stepped forward and stared at the tadpole symbol on it, and after a while, his face changed slightly: "This is the ancient script of the Jiuli clan, which means 'those who dare to send my mound will never be the queen of the household', 'those who are unknown will never be the queen of the household'." ”
Zhou Babao scratched his head and asked, "What does this mean?"
Shen Tu explained to everyone: "This is the curse of the ancients to rob the carved stones, the first sentence warns and curses the tomb robbers will not have good results, and the second sentence is to advise people to do more good deeds and accumulate virtues. Together, the two curses mean: 'Whoever dares to dig up a grave will be cut off, and whoever destroys it will be cut off even if it is not deliberately destroyed.' ”
When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they broke out in a cold sweat, especially Zhou Babao's face was even more terrifying, if he was entangled by a ghost, with a little panic in his eyes, he quickly knelt down towards the stone gate, kowtowed, and said something in his mouth: "I was forced to flee here, I was going to find an exit to leave this place, but I never wanted to go deeper and deeper, and I accidentally found the treasure land. ”
Although Li Ji forced himself to calm down, he still had palpitations and said: "This giant stone gate is not only engraved with strange patterns, but also has a vicious curse, it seems that it is unwilling for outsiders to break in, could it be that the other end of the stone gate is an ancient mausoleum." ”
Xinyan nodded and said: "From the feng shui pattern of the secret road, it is not simple, this rare pattern in the world has the meaning of dragon and tiger beads, it is the image of great luck, it is the north-south direction, if the west-east feng shui is broken, then it is not, but it is a double evil situation, two ghosts and evil masters, one auspicious and one evil." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Babao's cold sweat flowed down, and he asked nervously, "The tomb door hasn't opened yet, it should be fine, right?"
Xinyan's face was gloomy, and she said softly: "No, the tomb has been broken, you look at the bluestone slab in front of the stone threshold, it is the Zhenlong Stone, it has just been trampled on by you and is now cut into two sections, and the omen of good luck has been broken......"
Zhou Babao was terrified and asked solemnly, "So, what will happen?"
Xinyan's face became more and more ugly, and said, "According to the curse on the stone gate, people will die, so we must leave here as soon as possible so as not to be implicated." ”
Shen Tu stroked it with his sharp claws on the stone gate, and said: "Miss Xinyan is right, this ancient tomb is very old, and strange flowers and plants grow everywhere at the entrance of the cave, and the karst landform is strange and steep. 'Feng Shui dragons and tigers cannot be mixed, and the blame for good luck and evil comes from this', the slight vibration of Shicai has changed the pattern of this tomb. Due to the influence of the mysterious gravel energy body on the boulder, although I can't see through the scene inside the tomb, I can also slightly perceive the evil aura inside it, there must be a great omen, and those who enter it may have a bloody disaster!"
At the same time, there was a strange gust of wind on the platform at the entrance of the cave, and the people present were silent at the same time, but the ever-bright lamp on the stone wall was faintly dimmed.
Xu Shixi tightened his collar: "This wind is so cold, it blows bitingly." ”
Li Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead, but said on his lips: "I should wear more today, isn't it in the secret passage?
Zhou Babao's face was as gray as ashes, and he couldn't say in a trembling voice: "You guys...... Don't scare me!"
He lowered his head and looked at the threshold of the secret passage stone door, and sure enough, a broken bluestone slab was exposed, so he said, "Why don't we go back the way we came?"
Shen Tu sighed: "It will definitely not work to go back the same way, now that the top of the sky has burned down, it is estimated that the entrance has long been buried under the ruins, and it is difficult to get out." ”
There is no advance or retreat, and everyone is in an awkward predicament.
Li Ji has always believed that it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, even if there is really danger inside, he has to break through, otherwise he doesn't know how long he will stay in this secret passage where there is nothing?
In his heart, he was no longer so panicked and frightened, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Let's find a way to open this stone door! No matter what is in this ancient tomb, there are so many of us, are we still afraid that he will not succeed?"
"You have a point. Xinyan nodded and said, she found that although this little junior brother was stupid, he could always play a comforting role at critical moments, and his charm and light were innate!
Xinyan's beautiful eyes instantly moved to Li Ji, and she found that the stunned teenager who had never put him in her eyes had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, which was actually fascinating.
Everyone nodded and said that the only way out is to continue to move forward!
So, everyone gathered around to try their best to open the giant stone door, and at this moment, a strange sound sounded, indistinct, this sound seemed to come from the silence in all directions, and it seemed to come from the nine secluded underworlds, which made people shudder......
