Chapter 65: The Door That Can't Be Opened
The last large cactus-like plant was slashed to the ground, and we finally made our way through the fertile jungle, smelling the sweet sap of plants, and making our way to the houses scattered in front of us.
I walked in the front with my left gun and right sword, behind me were Liu Dongxi and Wang Dake, and Lu Yan was at the end. This is a fairly standard diamond-shaped search formation, which is suitable for this kind of search. Liu Shiwu has been laughing at me with a two-handed weapon as if he came to fight, but I ignored him, what danger will be encountered at this level There are no clues for reference at all, I can only be careful and vigilant, as for searching? You have to survive first.
The style of these houses is very strange, it seems to be similar to the style of the top floor Dan house, but it is more simple, most of the houses have no roof, I don't know if there is no rain and snow change here, the temperature is constant all year round, and there is no need for a roof at all.
We stood at the front of the house.
"Let's go inside!" Liu Dongxi urged from behind.
I nodded, but I didn't dare to move forward, I always felt that there would be something familiar in this house, and I was faintly frightened. Liu Dongxi saw that I didn't move, so he stopped urging and pushed the door in first.
The wooden door of the same color as the wall should be opened, because there is no roof, the inside of the house is quite bright, facing the door is a circular shallow pit, next to it is a waist-high stone platform, on the other side is a platform more than 20 centimeters above the ground, other than that, empty.
I breathed a sigh of relief and went in with it. The house, which had been vacant for an unknown number of years, really didn't look like a residence, and because of the impression of the trial elixir, it looked more like a laboratory.
Lu Yan didn't come in at all, Wang Dake wandered around the house, and Liu Dongxi squatted in front of the round shallow pit and didn't know what he was studying.
I stood on the platform and went over to look at him, Liu Dongxi saw me coming, pointed to the round pit and said, "Brother An, do you think this statue is a stove?" ”
Looking at the past as he pointed, the bottom of the pit was as smooth as a mirror, but the inner wall was inlaid with a circle of black metal of unknown nature, which really looked like an induction cooker embedded in the ground. But after seeing the huge metal ball, it can't help but be a little boring to look at these things. Liu Shishi saw that I was not very interested, and smiled: "This place should be where they live." ”
If we speak English, I can definitely sense that there is something unusual about "them" when he speaks of them, but in our language, whether they are human or not, they are always called the same, like the unity of heaven and man that we have been seeking. Perhaps we are the most egalitarian people in the world, who regard all things in heaven and earth as our own. Perhaps only we know the original secret of all this.
As Liu Dongxi said before, these things are no longer in the things of the ancestors, and there are still some traces of Xia Shang before, I am afraid that it is only the end of that era inside.
"Let's go somewhere else, there's nothing left here!" I said to Liu Dongxi.
Liu Dongxi quickly stood up and greeted Wang Dake, "Let's go." ”
Lu Yan stood at the door and watched us come out, and also turned around and walked to the house next to him, and searched several houses in a row, the content was similar, the difference was nothing more than that some were larger and some were smaller, and there were many simple utensils in the room, all of which were made of white stone.
We found that all houses of this shape seemed to be the same, in Liu's words, ordinary dwellings, and we lost interest in continuing our search and set our sights on the house in the middle.
Compared to other houses, this one is extraordinary, with a tall stone door in the middle and a few rows of sculptures along the walls that are hideous and intricate, winding back and forth spectacularly.
I leaned over to take a closer look, and the sculptures were very strangely shaped, all of them were made up of unheard of monsters, gradually getting smaller from the bottom to the top, and at the very top, there was a vague human figure raising arms and shouting. These monsters are extremely delicately depicted, without a trace of age, and between the hideous faces of the limbs and claws, an indomitable violent air swept away, which made people's hearts stir.
The Danding, which is full of fish, dragons and monsters, is exactly the same as the style of this sculpture, and it seems that it is really a thing of the time. Just don't know what this gorgeous building is for.
Liu Dongxi suddenly said: "Brother An, I'm afraid we won't be able to open this door!" ”
Only then did I notice that the large stone door, which was more than four meters high, stood in two directions. The thickness of the gate of this height and material must not be small, otherwise its strength will not be able to withstand its own pressure at all, and it will be crushed by itself in the morning. Conservative estimates suggest that if this stone door is 30 centimeters thick, then it will weigh dozens of tons, which is definitely not something we can open.
Liu Dongxi obviously agreed with my point of view, "We can't open this, is there a door somewhere else?" ”
I have the impression that doors like this kind of decoration are far greater than the practical meaning are generally fake, and the real entrance and exit doors are opened on the door panel, which is not on this gate panel, and it is estimated that it is opened elsewhere.
"Let's take a look around." I shouted to Liu Dongxi to turn around, and the other three walls were empty, only hard white stones.
What's going on here, and how much strength do the people who once lived here have to open this door? No way! Looking at the daily necessities in those houses and the length of the platform of the suspected bed, these people are no different from us. Of course, I know that ** can burst out with super power, but this kind of extreme power, which only belongs to machinery, definitely needs the support of a huge and strong **.
While thinking about it, Wang Dake said next to him: "There must be something sealed in here, I don't plan to open it after this door is closed like the tomb door." In the past, this kind of door would have been blasted directly. ”
When Liu Shixi heard him say this, he pursed his lips with some disdain. I know that old-school tomb robbers like him look down on those who blast at every turn, it seems that Liu Dongxi's professionalism is still quite high, although he faces his favorite goddess, he still dares to stick to his beliefs. Liu looked at me and looked at him, and pointed at his feet with a wink.
I looked down and couldn't help but exclaim. Liu Dongxi and Wang Dake were standing back and forth at this time, and they were on the trajectory of the opening of this huge door, and at their feet, an arc-shaped groove was clearly visible.
If this door can be opened, it will inevitably follow this trajectory.
"Can this door really open?"
"How is that possible? Fourth brother, you are just looking for a car to tow now, but you can't drag this door, those ancients are not immortals, how can they open such a heavy door? ”
I didn't say anything more, and pointed to my feet, Wang Dake looked down, startled, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of disbelief. I had calmed down, and the trail was extremely long, and both sides were the length of the door opening to the extreme. If there really is some creature that opens the door, then the creature may be extremely terrifying, at least three or four meters wide, otherwise why open the door completely?
Of course, there is another possibility, this trajectory is definitely not grinding out once or twice, and looking at its end so evenly smooth, it is very much like the traces left by the stereotyped action of machinery.
The first may be too ridiculous and inconsistent with the situation here, so is there a mechanism in this place?
