Chapter 32: The Door of Life and Death
The cave is empty, and there is nothing to find at a glance.
Just now they found the door and lock on the wall of the cave, and the two decided to touch the wall more carefully.
This cave is not big or small, and it takes some time to check every cave wall.
The two of them didn't know how long it had been in the dark.
"There's weirdness here!" Zhan Xianjun suddenly shouted loudly. On the hard stone wall, he touched a soft piece of earth.
He cut off the mud three times and divided five by two, and sure enough, it was a keyhole location again.
Seeing that the mountains and rivers were poor and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village, the two were overjoyed and laughed. It turns out that there is also a door here, which is just opposite the door just now.
Zhan Xianjun took out the second jade plate and quickly put it into the keyhole.
This time, there was finally a reaction. The two stone doors rotated at the same time, making a loud "boom" in the quiet cavern.
After turning ninety degrees, the stone gate stopped. Pillars of light burst into the dark cavern** from the stone doors on both sides, converging in the center of the cavern's central pool.
On the inward side of the stone gate just now, it is just revealed.
One says "life" and the other says "death"!
Both saw the writing on the door. Zhan Xianjun said: "It seems that these two doors lead to different places. What does the words on this door mean? ”
Gu Xiu said: "Isn't it a warning from the master of this cave to later generations, entering from the door of life, there is a way to live, and entering through the door of death is a dead end?" ”
Zhan Xianjun said: "It's better for us to go in separately to check, you enter from the door of life, I enter from the door of death, after a stick of incense, we will come back here to gather." ”
Gu Xiu shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's very weird here, it's better for us to stay together in "life and death together", in case there is any danger, it's good to have a response." Moreover, I don't think there may be a way to live in the door, as the saying goes, "life to death", in case the owner of the cave house does not play cards according to the routine, go to the door of life, it may be a dead end. ”
Zhan Xianjun thinks about it, it makes sense, no one can say what the two words on this door mean, rather than acting separately, it is better to be together.
smiled: "That's right, then how about we go to this dead door together?" ”
The two laughed and entered the door of death.
Inside is a larger cave, the cave wall is inlaid with all kinds of gems and pearls, the cave is splendid, all kinds of rare treasures are piled up, and there are many boxes neatly stacked inside.
The four corners of the cave wall are the night pearls with the size of the basin, illuminating the whole cave as if it were day.
At the top of the cave there is a smooth jade plate-like thing.
There is also a smaller smooth jade plate in front of each night pearl, which reflects the light of the night pearl onto the jade plate above. The jade plate at the top reflected the light outside the door, which was the pillar of light they had just seen outside.
The owner of the cave has worked hard to set this up, and he doesn't know what it does.
The two of them walked and checked, and picked up a random item on the ground, all of which were priceless treasures.
Walking inside, Zhan Xianjun opened a box, and inside was a neat yard of gold, which was dazzling.
Gu Xiu also opened a box, which also contained golden bars.
The two looked at each other in surprise, was this dead door actually a hidden treasure place?
Gu Xiu shouted happily: "Jun, you don't want to reset, these can just be used!" ”
Zhan Xianjun was noncommittal.
At the end, there is a cave door, and after stepping in, there is another stone cave, which is also a treasure all over the ground, and all kinds of jewels and jade are scattered all over the place.
In this way, one room after another, there seems to be no end, it is full of gold and silver treasures, jewels and jade.
The sheer number is breathtaking, and even Zhan Hyun Jun, who was born in the royal family, can't help but be amazed.
Who is it that hoards such a huge fortune here? The most incredible thing is that who can build such a huge treasure trove here so quietly without being discovered by the authorities? It's simply not human.
After passing through a few stone vaults, the two of them were numb to the treasures in the room, and they had more and more questions in their hearts, and they were only eager to find an answer. But the stone chambers are one after another, and there seems to be no end.
"Gu Xiu, I have a strange feeling, after walking for so long, except for gold and silver treasures, there is no other discovery, there is no point in going any further, let's go back and take a look at another door!"
Gu Xiu is not a greedy person for money, but when he saw these many treasures, he was also excited, and at this time, Zhan Xianjun proposed to go back, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he calmed down.
I couldn't help but think ashamedly: "How can I be like the villain who sees money and has an eye for money, and almost forgot to get down to business." ”
The two then returned the way they came.
As soon as I returned to the first cave, I saw that the stone door was slowly turning and closing. The two of them were shocked, hurriedly lifted a breath of true air, and flew out.
As soon as he went out, the door of death slammed shut.
"It's dangerous!" Gu Xiu exclaimed.
If Zhan Xianjun hadn't proposed to come back, the two would have been locked in the stone room, and if they couldn't open the door and come out, they could only starve to death with a pile of gold, silver and jewelry.
Look at the door again, it is still open.
"It seems that when we went in just now, we triggered the timer mechanism of the death door, and when the time came, the door closed automatically." Zhan Xianjun said.
"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded and said, "Do you remember how much time we went in just now?" ”
"I don't remember, I don't seem to feel the passage of time inside. I don't know how long I walked. Zhan Xianjun said.
"We should remember the time just now, and then go in the door for a while, so that we can come out on time." Gu Xiu said with annoyance.
"Even if you calculate it, the closing time set on both sides may not be the same. It's better to go in alone this time, you wait for me outside, and if the door starts to close and I haven't come out yet, you call me out loud. ”
Gu Xiu thought about it, it also made sense, although he didn't know how deep it was, as long as he used his internal force to transmit the sound at that time, he could hear it from thousands of meters away. If two people go in together, they don't know the situation outside, which is even more dangerous. I agreed to guard the wind outside, but I always felt that something was wrong.
Zhan Xianjun turned around and entered the birth gate.
The structure of the first cave in the Living Gate is roughly the same as that of the Death Gate. The beam of light was the same as that of the Death Door, gathered by the reflection of the light of the four Night Pearls.
But unlike the golden and jeweled inside the door of death, the door of life is empty, except for the four night pearls, as far as the eye can see, there is nothing else.
Stepping into the second cave, too, it was empty.
This emptiness is in strong contrast with the abundance just now, maybe it is a psychological effect, Zhan Xianjun feels that the dangerous atmosphere here is even stronger, and he always feels that something will suddenly rush out.
He secretly carried his true qi in his palm, vigilantly looking at the surrounding environment.
After walking a few more stone chambers, he became more and more frightened, because this side was exactly the same as that side.
He noticed a few details, the traces of the stone wall, the notch in the stone door, all the details, exactly the same.
If it weren't for the emptiness here, he would have thought he was still in the door of death.
