Chapter 530: Vortex
Slowly getting out of the center of the whirlpool, feeling as if the soles of their feet had stepped on something hard, and finally having a place to land, the two of them stabilized themselves with the rope of the barb, temporarily out of danger. Slightly relieved.
Natsuba observes the terrain in the dim light.
The water in the pool is crystal clear.
The bottom of the pond was not just the stone she stepped on, but a road paved with such a large stone. If you look closely, you can see that the path is on the edge of the whirlpool, but it leads in the other direction.
"Shall we take a look down here?" Xia Ye gasped and asked Jimo.
"If this is the tomb of the ancient gods, then this road should lead to the underground palace of the tomb of the gods. It was just that the mountain collapsed that year, causing the entire mountain to collapse, so it was flooded by a water source that came from nowhere. ”
Natsuba was a little excited. She felt that she had finally experienced the crisis just now.
"Don't go, it's too dangerous here, we should find a way to get out of here quickly." Jimo Road. He was really scared just now. The woman didn't know what she was thinking, she was obviously full of fear of these unknown things, but she was still not afraid of death to find out.
Sure enough, it was useless for him not to go. Xia Ye had already taken out another barb from his backpack, and threw it directly on the opposite rock wall as soon as he threw it in the air, this time he didn't know if it was luck or something else, so he hung the hook at once.
She said to Jimo: "If you're afraid, go back first." But I don't think I'll be able to find an exit the way I came. She pointed to it, and it was pitch black: "If there was an exit, there must be direct light coming in, but apparently not." I don't know how to get the place we just came in, it's already sealed. ”
To be honest, she has also read a lot of tomb robbers in modern times, and she also likes to read books about feng shui and the like, she thinks this kind of serious nonsense book is very interesting, but it is like a child reading a fairy tale, she is mainly to relieve the pressure of life, and she has never believed it.
But at the moment, she really wanted that damn bullshit to be serious. Unfortunately, she has a limited memory and can't remember anything at all.
The bottom of the pond is very deep, and even if you can see that there are stone steps at the bottom of the pool, you still can't walk on it. Xia Ye moved her body little by little with the help of the barb she tossed, and there was a whirlpool not far from the stone steps, and as long as she let go of her hand a little, she might be swallowed up.
She's walking on thin ice right now.
"Let's do it together." Jimo couldn't let her go alone after all. Following her, the two of them held hands and became a little more stable, and walked more smoothly.
Smoothly avoided the whirlpool and gradually got on the right track. This is a good sign.
What surprised them even more was that after swimming in the water for a while, their feet were able to land on the stone steps and walk. The stone steps were getting drier and drier, and after a while they were completely out of the water source.
The situation is finally getting clearer.
The stone steps on both sides are no longer slippery rocks soaked in water, but carefully carved murals, which look like some legendary ghosts, gods, fairies and demons, etc., delicate and lifelike, each carving is accompanied by a text description, but Xia Ye can't understand the meaning of the text on it.
Jimo said: "This is an inscription, introducing the origin and life of the characters in the mural, and there are some scriptures that surpass the soul." ”
Natsuba nodded. She'd heard about it too. After all, the ancient tomb is a group of tombs, and many emperors and nobles with identity backgrounds refuse to let their bodies corrupt when they die, so they will undergo special treatment, plus because there are too many burial things, they are afraid of being robbed by future generations, and there are generally organs set up in the cemetery, and what is more cruel is that the builders who built the organs at the beginning will be buried alive here without exception, because they are afraid that they will leak everything in the imperial tomb.
And these frescoes, carved ghosts and inscriptions, suppressed and exceeded, to prevent corpse transformation.
It's like covering your ears and stealing bells. But Xia Ye looked at these carvings, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients, and couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.
The light is a little dim, but because the murals are getting more and more exquisite, the stone steps are also up one by one, and then they see that there are sixteen stone pillars on both sides of the stone steps that are about two people hugging each other, and the interval between each pillar is about two meters, the appearance of standing on the top of the sky and the earth is very grandiose, the pillar body is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and it is also painted with very gorgeous colors, standing here for thousands of years and the color has not changed at all, and it looks the same as the one that was painted yesterday.
The eyes of the dragon and phoenix are all inlaid with night pearls, so when you get here, the light is steep, as clear and bright as shopping outside during the day.
Xia Ye's mood was a little excited, and he pointed to these stone pillars and said, "If my guess is correct, the end of the front should be the entrance to the divine tomb." ”
Jimo's eyes showed excitement, and the two of them quickened their pace. Sure enough, at the end of the stone pillar, there was a blue-gray stone gate, which weighed at least a thousand catties.
Xia Ye touched his face a little embarrassed, and said in surprise: "It's finally here." "I can't wait to open the stone door and go in now.
It's just that the reality is also in front of you: how did they get in the thousand-pound stone gate? Do you use daggers and iron cables in your backpack? It's just a joke.
When he was at a loss, Xia Ye suddenly found that there was a long mark in the middle and lower part of the stone door, and he thought it was a stone carving just now, but he didn't expect it to be a small door that could be pushed open.
"There's a door here!" Xia Ye said in surprise.
"How can there be a door here?" Jimo also asked in surprise.
Xia Ye still decided to believe in those serious tomb robbers, and explained: "This small gate is called Tianmen, and it is used by the tomb owner to ascend to heaven after ascending to the heavens. Many emperors, emperors, relatives, relatives and relatives of various noble identities have this tomb. It's just that this is just convenient for tomb robbers to rob tombs, who has ever seen a real feather ascending immortal? Which royal family and nobleman don't have an unclean past in their hands, and they still want to become immortals? It's good not to be rejected and reincarnated into a thousand-year-old zombie. ”
As he spoke, he took out a pair of makeshift gloves and put them on his hand, groping for the stone door to find a switch that could be opened.
There were protruding buttons on the left and right sides of the stone door, and she had a hunch that if she didn't press it right, something might happen to them.
So she took a serious look, and her eyes widened. What does it seem to be? Arabic numeral? One-two-three, four-five-six? Is it a password?
How do you seem to have seen it somewhere?
She hurriedly took out the cloud box left by her mother, only to see that the cloud box that had not changed at all had been illuminated by the light of the night pearl at this moment, glowing with a different kind of look, and the box body had strange clouds and waves, and the Arabic numerals were hidden in it, slowly moving.
