Chapter 553: Luminite Room
readx;
Because the door was covered with sticky moss. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info So the stone door opens without effort. The moment the stone door opened. A small amount of water flows out of the door. It means that the inside of the door was also below the surface of the water before.
Wu Zhiyuan's feet were filled with water. Wait for the water to flow out. Only then did he tentatively step forward.
Lift your feet. He felt a stumbling under his feet. I was shocked. Hurriedly lowered his body. At the same time, reach out and touch it. Take a cool breath. It turned out that it was actually a staircase that tripped over me just now.
Wu Zhiyuan groped forward along the steps. Unexpectedly. He touched another step. The second step is slightly higher than the first. Explain that this step is the same as the one outside the stone gate. It's also going upward.
It is rare to see multiple steps in the burial chamber repeatedly. Because if there is no special purpose. The installation of these steps will not only increase the construction cost of the burial chamber. It will also bring a lot of trouble to the burial.
Ponder for a moment. Wu Zhiyuan continued to climb up the steps. Since this place has long been submerged below the surface of the lake. So even if the traps were designed when they were built. After a long period of lake erosion. It has long since lost its effectiveness. Therefore, Wu Zhiyuan was not worried about traps set up near the steps.
It is the same length as the staircase outside the stone gate. The staircase soon came to an end.
Wu Zhiyuan had expected it a long time ago. There will also be a stone door at the end of the stairs. Sure enough. In front of him, there is still a stone gate to block the road.
The steps are the same. The way the stone gate is opened should not change. Wu Zhiyuan plans to repeat his old tricks. Push the corner of the stone door to open it. It has been silent for hundreds or thousands of years. The edges of the gate and the stone walls on both sides are covered with moss. The moss is bonded together. This will make it difficult to open the stone door.
Wu Zhiyuan pulled out the Blood Shadow Demon Knife. Insert the tip of the knife into the crack of the door on both sides again. Cut off the moss bonds. It would be much easier to open the stone door.
After a knife is inserted. Wu Zhiyuan was about to pull out the knife. I was about to stab again. Suddenly, a ray of light came through the gap where the knife had just been inserted.
There was light inside the stone gate.
Wu Zhiyuan was stunned. I thought it was my own hallucination. So I rubbed my eyes and looked closely. It was a ray of light.
The light is extremely faint. If it weren't for the sheer darkness around here. This insignificant glimmer of light may not be detected. But in this inky darkness. The light was very dazzling. Undoubtedly.
"Could it be that we have already reached the top of Shizhong Mountain?" Wu Zhiyuan said secretly in his heart. The two steps just now went upward. But none of the steps seem to be too long. If only these two steps lead to the top of the mountain. Then this Shizhong Mountain is too low.
If this stone gate is not the top of the mountain. How did this faint light come from in the crack of the door?
Wu Zhiyuan waited by the stone gate for a moment. Keep your eyes on the light. I noticed that the light didn't flicker at all. He calmed down. Get up and push the stone door in front of you.
It still didn't take much effort. The stone door was slowly pushed open. This is also a flipping stone gate. The moment the stone door opened. There was also a pool of stagnant water flowing from his feet. Wu Zhiyuan couldn't dodge. Let the cold water of the lake soak through your shoes.
When you look up. Wu Zhiyuan found that the stone walls on both sides were full of fluorescent bright spots. Those bright spots are light source stable. And it doesn't flicker. Although faintly. But because of the sheer number. Enough for 10,000. So I still have a lot of light around and I can barely see. The faint light I saw outside the door just now was emitted by these bright spots on the stone wall.
Stand by the door. Wu Zhiyuan carefully looked at the situation inside the door. I saw that it was an empty stone room. There is a raised stone platform on the east side of the stone chamber. The stone platform is filled with clay pots of various sizes. Most of them are in good shape. But most of them are covered with moss. I can't see what it looks like. It seems to be a funerary object. The stone walls and the top of the stone chamber are all dotted with bright spots. Probably because of the presence of these glowing highlights. The stone walls and the roof of the stone chamber did not have much moss attached to them.
Wu Zhiyuan walked into the stone room. Come to a stone wall. It was found that the glowing bright spot on the stone wall seemed to be a grain of sand. He reached for one of the grains of sand. It was found that the sand was embedded in the stone wall. Very sturdy.
"Luminous Sands." Wu Zhiyuan thought of such a thing as luminous sand from the feeling of the sand. Luminous sand is made of the same material as the Night Pearl. But the size is much smaller. This is also the reason why the value of luminous sand is far less than that of the night pearl. But if there are a lot of luminous sands. Its lighting effect is much better than that of the Night Pearl.
People have an innate fear of darkness. For the owners of these burial chambers. This burial chamber is the environment in which they live after death. So they will also try all kinds of ways. Let his tomb be kept bright. Luminous sand used here. The Empress Dowager Cixi's underground palace used the strange and ingenious technique of spitting out corpse oil from snakes to feed the ever-bright lantern.
Stop in front of the stone wall for a moment. Wu Zhiyuan turned to look at the stone platform raised on the east side. The eyes swept over the pottery on the stone platform one by one. Finally, they stopped at the stone wall next to the stone platform.
There are a few lines of words faintly carved on the stone wall.
Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed. Hurriedly walked towards the stone platform. The height of the stone platform is just above the knee. He lifted his feet and went up to the stone platform. Clinker carelessly. Kick over a clay pot on the side of the stone platform. The clay pot rolled to the bone. Roll under the stone platform.
Wu Zhiyuan's heart was not good. This clay pot was used by the owner of the tomb to accompany him. It would be disrespectful to break it to pieces. Moreover, I don't know what is in this clay pot. In case there is any danger, it will be troublesome. So he hurriedly went to grab the clay pot. It's a pity that it's too late. The clay pot rolled down the stone platform in an instant.
I thought that the clay pot would fall to pieces when it hit the ground. However, to Wu Zhiyuan's surprise. After the clay pot rolls off the stone platform. There was no sound. He wondered. He turned around to go to the stone platform to check the condition of the clay pot. But right now. The clay pot seemed to come to life. He slowly floated up from under the stone platform.
This scene surprised Wu Zhiyuan. He pulled out the peachwood sword on his back. His eyes were fixed on the clay pot that floated to the stone platform. I saw the clay pot falling on the stone platform. Circled in place. Then he slammed it up. Stand upright. Then there was no movement.
Wu Zhiyuan waited quietly for a moment. The clay pot was still standing quietly. It's exactly the same as when it wasn't knocked over.
For the scene in front of you. There are only two possibilities. One is the haunting of ghosts. The second is that there are things in the clay pot.
Wu Zhiyuan quietly walked to the clay pot. Squatted down and took a closer look. This clay pot is a relatively ordinary amphora. The lower part is thicker. The filling mouth is slightly thinner. A crude tank can be seen faintly under the moss. The workmanship is not exquisite. But it must be a long time.
The filling is sealed with a stone plug. Wu Zhiyuan's heart moved. The probe pulled the stone plug down.
A foul smell emanated from the clay pot......
(Note: Luminous sand is a naturally occurring sand stone.) It is made of the same material as the Night Pearl. It can be understood as a night pearl that cannot be built. It is not the "luminous sand" in traditional Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine luminous sand is bat droppings. Everyone is welcome to join the group discussion. ļ¼
