Chapter 55: The Blood Pool

"How?" I asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"There's a pattern, give me the camera and I'll take a picture."

A person next to me handed over a mobile phone, and Wang Ziyue took a picture of it and handed it to me. "Don't put me down yet, big brother."

"Oooh!" My old face flushed, and I quickly put down Wang Ziyue, took the phone, and we looked together. Boss Zhao also came over to watch with us. It's a six-pointed star again, how can you see a six-pointed star anywhere?

I cursed in my heart, but I didn't speak, silently observing the reactions of Boss Zhao and the others. The two bosses and their men were at a loss, and they didn't look like they were pretending, maybe it was really based on gold leaf, plus luck by mistake.

"Xiao Du, can you tell what this is?" Boss Zhao pointed to the pattern on it and said, "A stone with such a mark engraved must be related to opening the mechanism here." ”

I nodded, and it was. But what exactly does it need to get the trap to open it? At first, I didn't take the six-pointed star pattern seriously, but just now I looked at it again and found that there are some special textures on it, because the phone is too bad, the pixels are too low and blurry, and I can't see it clearly. So these details were overlooked.

"Xiao Du, do you have any ideas?" Boss Zhao's eyes were sharp, as if he had seen through my thoughts.

"I have some ideas, but I'll have to go up and see again to fully figure it out." As I spoke, I looked around, "Whoever is kind enough to give me a hand." ”

Boss Li listened and knew that I had made it clear that I wanted his people to contribute, so he reluctantly waved his hand to his subordinates and let them go. Two men formed a bracket with their hands and arms, and I stepped on it and stood up to see the stone.

I scolded in my heart when I saw this, these people still call themselves tomb robbers? I'm afraid this phone is older than me! It's a low pixel if we can see it. The stone is covered with black slag, as if it were the lacquer of the original stone. What does that mean? Could it be that the ancients were idle to paint stones?

I pinched up a small piece of crumbs, sniffed it under my nose, frowned, and said to the people below, "It's not good, the lacquer-like thing on the stone is blood." ”

The people below showed a surprised expression, and Boss Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I've seen this thing when I was archaeological before, it's a blood trough." "Then Boss Zhao told us that he had seen this type of thing in the Western Regions, and it also had a creepy name - blood pool.

A large amount of blood is dripped on this patterned thing, and the blood can be activated by the flow, and then some mechanism is activated. This is where the skill of the ancients comes in, as long as the texture is cleverly designed, the use of water or other liquids will not have any effect at all.

After listening to Boss Zhao's narration, I stared at the stone in front of me for a while, and said in my heart that this stone probably didn't have a lot of blood! Otherwise, even if we all die here, we won't be able to make up a lot.

"Cub above, you ×× hurry up, when we are slaves!" Obviously, the people below were a little unable to hold on, and my body trembled a little.

"Shut up!" Boss Li yelled, then smiled at me maliciously and said, "That's ...... Xiao Du, I'm sorry for you. He fiddled with a pistol with his fingers as he spoke.

I took a deep breath, took the dagger from my waist, and slashed it into the palm of my hand. The blood, dripping down the palm of my hand, dripped in the center of the stone. The blood flow seems to come to life and blooms in the shape of a six-pointed star on the stone, and then flows along the surrounding lines to the side of the stone. However, no miracles happened.

There is still little blood. I shook my head and saw that the wound on my hand was bleeding less and less, and I didn't hesitate to cut three more wounds from above. The whole stone was stained with my blood, and the small blood grooves in the lines flowed with blood, showing a strange beauty.

After a while, I heard movement around me, and I froze, and there was the ancient sound of chains rubbing against each other, and then a hole appeared in the ground in the middle of the road. I saw the exit and jumped down from the arms of the two men with a long sigh of relief: "I thought it was broken because it had been so long!" ”

Boss Li lit a cold firework and threw it into the hole. The cold fireworks fell vertically at first, and then fell to the ground and did not move, and the hole was very narrow and could not be illuminated.

"It's not clear what happened below, but I can only say that the vertical part is only about two or three meters, and then the hole was rerouted." Boss Li said.

This time, I didn't use Boss Li's reminder and jumped straight down. The hole was so narrow that I was almost stuck in the vertical hole and couldn't make too many movements. Even if I squatted down, I could only crawl forward, but fortunately the cave walls were smooth rock, otherwise my knees and elbows would have been bruised.

Now I have a hunch that this cave may be similar to the "vegetable cellar" we came to before. The people behind also came down and followed, it was Wang Ziyue.

"What for? Big brother, what are you doing here? ”

"Oh! It's nothing, I just remembered the 'vegetable cellar' like the place we went to before, and you said that there wouldn't be a coffin in front of you! I said.

Wang Ziyue muttered something, I didn't hear it, but someone followed behind, and we couldn't continue to say something, so we began to crawl deeper into the dog hole. I have a bad habit of always thinking about bad things every time I encounter something. Now I have a hunch that there will be a dead end ahead.

But God still favored us, and soon crawled out of the hole. I saw piles of treasures all around, shining with gold and silver, and my eyes hurt. I moved my flashlight away, and sure enough, I saw a coffin painted with dark red paint.

I signaled, Wang Ziyue nodded, and we walked towards the coffin together. Suddenly, a person behind me pushed and almost fell.

"What are you doing! Why? A voice came, "What's the matter, and the baby won't let us see it?" I tell you, I-oh my God! He stepped away from me as he saw the piles of treasures all around him, and his eyes were almost falling to the ground.

The people who came from behind were about the same as him, only Boss Zhao didn't show any exaggerated expressions. I nodded Wang Ziyue's shoulder, leaned next to her and whispered, "This Boss Zhao is not simple, I don't know where to go, you have to be careful." "I said in my heart that I can have this consciousness to mean that it is either a big boss, a mountain of gold and silver, bathing with 82 years of French red wine, and seeing a lot of money, so I am indifferent, it is estimated that these are small money in his eyes; Either that, or a true hermit.

Wang Ziyue said to me, this person can't be seen by you now, and while they haven't found the coffin, hurry up and study the things on it. As soon as I thought about it, I stopped paying attention to these crazy people and looked at the coffin to myself.

Four more pictures depict a woman on the four sides of the coffin, and she is still as beautiful as a fairy. However, compared to the previous painting of the coffin, this one is a little more detailed. The woman was soaked in blood while she was alive (I don't know what blood. Drowned. Then on the altar, tens of thousands of people who sacrificed, finally ascended to heaven.

"Why are you still so cruel?" Wang Ziyue looked a little like vomiting, "Big brother, did you think of something?" ”

I let out a noncommittal "um", but I was thinking about a very likely fact, but I couldn't believe it myself. After such a long period of experience, fighting wits and courage with the wisdom of this builder and the ancients in the building, I gradually came to a pattern, which can also be said to be a routine.

Everything can be cashed out through the basic facts, plus the basic plate of the six-pointed star.

If I had predicted, this coffin would not have been a failed experiment for the craftsmen to sympathize with these immortals, let alone a "vegetable cellar" for storing treasures.

Previously we were standing on the tip of a separate iceberg to see the whole thing, so it was impossible to see everything. Now that we've seen more, we suddenly understand everything.

I suspect that there must have been more than two of these coffins, but six, and the location of the whole building is in the shape of a six-pointed star. Only then did I realize that the builder was shrewd, vicious and ruthless, and he used a small pattern to set a big pattern, so that we can be puzzled and sympathize with his plight.

At least it is a sacrifice, and at a large level, these six unfortunate people are part of the sacrifice, and of course the matter of repairing the escape passage must be true.

I told Wang Ziyue about this, and she turned pale when she heard this, and whispered to me, "Are you sure?" Didn't we read the ancient book in it before, and it was written that the people in it were to help the emperor live forever, and I told you-"

"It's different, I mean if it's really six people, if it's really a six-pointed star, then the whole thing is big."

Wang Ziyue and I are both familiar with the six-pointed star, and we also understand the stakes involved, and we know that this kind of thing can't be guessed. So I said, "Guessing is essential, but we need a little bit of proof." ”

"How do you want to verify?"

"Do you remember the map we looked at under the coffin? Maybe there are some here. ”

Just do it, Wang Ziyue and I are one left and one right, with two hands pressed on the side of the coffin. "Are you ready?" Wang Ziyue asked, "I'll count to three." ”

"One ......," Wang Ziyue said.

"Two ......"

I had just shouted two when a hand suddenly reached out from behind me and put it on my shoulder. "Xiao Du!"

"Ahh I was so focused that I almost rolled over the coffin to the other side, and I yelled, "What are you doing! You're scared to death! ”

"What's going on?" Boss Li walked over with a frown and asked, and then suddenly saw the coffin here, his eyes widened.
