Chapter 23: The Role of the Key

The temple is similar to Plato's parable, but the whole temple is built in three colors: black, white, and red. Each stone is huge, we estimate that it is larger than the stone used in the pyramids. Although I don't see the roof made of gold and silver as described by Plato, the building made of such large stones is already breathtaking.

When you enter the temple, you are greeted by a huge sculpture. The sculpture is on top of the temple, stepping on the sea water, holding a long Ge in his hand, looking straight ahead, looking domineering, and there is a heroic momentum that is not what I am.

Qin Tai asked, "Professor Shui, what kind of legend did you hear about the Sea Lot?" Is it the same as here? ”

I shook my head gently, and just as I wanted to speak, Lu Liang had already rushed to say, "It's different." We saw in the information that it was a brass paving, and the statues were all made of brass. The statue stands on a Pegasus cart with a temple overhead, surrounded by more than a hundred fairies riding dolphins. It's too different from what it looks like here. I really wonder if this is Atlantis or not? Why is there such a big difference? ”

Qin Tai nodded and said, "Yes, the information we got is the same. Now we can unravel the secrets of the fairies, who are most likely the appearance of mermaids as adults. But how could this statue be made of white stone? There was no carriage below, but waves of the sea made of black stone, and there was a little bit of mountain copper in this temple, let alone gold and silver. ”

Ye Simin said: "I don't know what the sea god looks like, but this stone statue is indeed a Minotaur. Just look at the two big black horns on the top of his head. It's strange how there is only such a stone statue here. To know. In ancient temples, there were also stone statues, and only the main statue was in the middle. But here. You see, there's nothing around. There is only such a stone statue. Don't you think it's weird? ”

Qin Tai said with some loss: "It seems that this place is not all the places in Atlantis. It's impossible for nothing to survive in such a rich place. Moreover, the capital here is too small, and there are only sixty houses in the outermost part. There is only one Tanah Lot temple in the center. If it is an empire, where is his palace? Qin Tai looked at us and said, "Now we can only find the treasure if we find his palace." ”

I smiled wryly and said, "You can also see that this is such a big place, where to put a palace." ”

Qin Tai said without giving up: "Shall we find the surrounding mountain walls, maybe there is a hidden secret passage leading to the real palace." It's just that we don't know where, right now. I think we should take a closer look at the surrounding rock walls. What do you guys think? ”

Lu Liang looked at me and said, "Boss......" I waved my hand and said, "Go by yourself." I'll sit here for a moment. If you find it, call me. If you don't find it, you will come back to rendezvous. ”

Everyone hula and walked away. I stared blankly at the stone statue in front of me, and it still felt weird. This stone statue is not placed in a place, and no stone statue will be placed in the center of the temple.

Leng Feng said: "Husband, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore." Take a break and maybe figure it out. I smiled and said, "Aren't you leaving?" How did you come back again? Ye Manqing's voice: "Isn't it that we can't rest assured of you?" I turned my head and looked at the two of them, smiling and opening my arms, both women snuggling into my arms. At this moment, I felt extremely satisfied. What the end of the earth, what the Mayan civilization. Nothing matters anymore. What I hold is what I really have, that's what is real.

Leng Feng suddenly asked, "Husband, you just said that it was strange, do you mean that it is strange here?" Is there anything strange about it? ”

Ye Manqing said: "This place is strange. I always felt uncomfortable. They wanted something was watching us around, but we couldn't see them. ”

I pointed to the stone statue in front of me and said, "Don't you think the location of this stone statue is a little strange?" ”

Leng Feng and Ye Manqing took a few steps forward and looked at them carefully for a while. I walked around the stone statue a few more times. Leng Feng said: "Yes, the location is very strange. It shouldn't be put that way. This is the middle of the temple. The statues of the gods inside the temple are generally placed against the wall. Make room for worship for those who come to worship. But here it is in the center, which is unreasonable. ”

Ye Manqing also said: "There is one more point. Did you find out? Where is this stone statue aimed at? The statue of the gods generally sits north to south, and that is the main seat. But this stone statue sits east and faces west. Although it is facing the temple gate, don't you think it's strange? The palaces of the Mayans were all north-south. Although this is the Minotaur tribe, they are the rain Mayans, on the contrary, they should also sit south and face north, it is impossible to be this way. ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, I just think it's strange, and I just found the kind that Leng Feng said." I really haven't paid attention to what you're talking about. Usually when we go to the temple, those Buddha statues are aimed at the gate. So I made a mistake in the direction. Because the temples were built facing north and facing south, we would think that it would be okay if the dynamite was aimed at the gate, but we all forgot that the temple was not built north to south. ”

Leng Feng smiled and said, "Husband, what do you think will happen if we push the idol back to the position where it exists?" ”

I looked at Leng Feng and smiled, "Do you think the three of us are pushing?" "This stone statue is about ten meters high, three or four meters thick, and it is completely carved from white ashlar with a delicate texture. These stones are similar to the white marble found in today's marble, and the weight of this stone is very staggering. This stone statue alone is probably no less than 30 tons. Someone to push? I'm afraid I can't push it even when I'm dreaming.

Leng Feng smiled: "You forgot which of our techniques. That volley. Although it has not been practiced, it is not so important. As long as the two of us can lift it up, Ye Manqing can push it aside. ”

I smiled and said, "Why don't we try?" ”

Ye Manqing said with a grin: "Okay, I also want to witness how the miracle happened." ”

Leng Feng and I held hands and exerted our maximum mana. The stone statue actually floated. Ye Manqing hurriedly stepped forward and pushed aside. After the stone statue landed, Ye Manqing said, "Sister Leng." Husband, you guys are amazing. But. I found a secret. Looking at our puzzled eyes, Ye Manqing said with a grin: "That stone statue is hollow. Not solid. ”

I was stunned, hollow. Under what circumstances will hollow ones be used? When there is a secret hidden in the stone statue, of course. This stone statue. Ah, it must be so.

Ye Manqing said: "Husband, it seems that you know the answer." ”

I nodded and said, "The reason why the stone statue is hollow is that there must be a secret hidden in the hollow place." You see, this statue is so big, will anyone move it? Not really. If not, then no one will find out about the secret. But that secret is to be left to posterity. What to do? That's why the statue isn't against the wall, and it's not sitting north and facing south. Later generations will find out his strangeness and will surely search him, and if they find him hollow, they will discover the secret. If I'm not mistaken, the secret one is on the ground, right where the statue was just now. ”

Our flashlight shone away, and my heart was beating wildly. This is...... An equilateral hexagon stands out. At the six sharp corners of the hexagon. There are these six weirdly shaped little holes. It's not a strange shape. That's exactly what those little arrows look like. It turns out that those stone swords were used here. I carefully checked it for a while, and hurriedly said, "Quick, call Qin Tai back, I need that little arrow on his body here." ”

Leng Feng listened to me say this. He turned around and ran out. I looked at these small holes excitedly, and the mystery of Atlantis, which I had been searching for for more than half a year, was about to be solved. Calculate the time, the Spring Festival of 2017 has passed. It should be an authentic 2017 by now. In the impression of Chinese, the New Year's Day is not counted as a new year. Although the calendar has come to the new year. But in Chinese customs,. Only after the Spring Festival is the arrival of the new year. Ha ha. Unexpectedly, just after the New Year, there was a good start. Sure enough, it's the golden rooster that announces, and good luck has come.

Qin Tai and the others came here one by one panting, no one paid attention to me, and came directly to the center of the temple, and they all looked at the small holes on the ground excitedly, and stroked them carefully.

It took a while for everyone to come to their senses. Qin Tai looked at me and said, "Professor Shui, look, there are six small holes here, how many keys do you have there?" I stretched out five fingers and shook them at him, and Qin Tai said curtly, "That's what I mean...... You see, we also have a key, don't we, and we can't open that treasure without one, right? …… That one...... That ......"

I waved my hand and said, "Okay, split it evenly." ”

Qin Tai rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Hehe, I know that Professor Shui is happy." Talking to smart people is effortless, and I like people like you. I'll just say, I won't suffer if I follow Professor Shui. ”

The little girl Bai Ling pursed her lips and said, "Come on, Qin Tai, are you selling cheaply?" We don't need to. Well, although the things are divided equally, we have to take them first. ”

Qin Tai thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's put things together." You take the first piece, and we take the second piece, so how about one person divide one piece? ”

I nodded, taking turns is also an option. After all, we wouldn't be able to open the door without the key in their hands. At this time, there is no difference between one key and five keys. All of them are indispensable.

Qin Tai handed me the key, I looked carefully at the small hole in the ground, and slowly inserted all six keys into it, as soon as I inserted it, the whole cave trembled, and we hurriedly ran outside to find a wide place to stand. Don't let the collapsed temple fall underneath. That would be a big loss.

The ground stopped shaking, and the whole cave suddenly brightened. We followed the light source, and a stone door opened on top of the outermost stone wall, and the inside was actually brightly lit. We rushed madly towards the stone door, and it was a great treasure. We have worked hard for more than half a year, struggling on the edge of life and death every day, isn't that all there is.

When we got to the stone gate, we slowly stopped. Only then did it turn out that they were not fires, but real electric lights. We were all stunned by this discovery. The invention of electric light is clearly only more than 100 years old, and I can't imagine that there was an electric light in a cave 12,000 years ago. It is also inductive and does not need to be switched. This technology has also been available only in recent years. Voice-activated technology is only about 20 years old. But this is obviously not voice control.

Mike suddenly said, "I checked here just now. There is not a trace of lines here, how can he be a stone gate? I'm checking it out in detail. ”

Ye Simin said: "Young man. Don't be discouraged. Think of the Egyptian pyramids in the desert for more than 3,000 years, and those stone cracks can't even be stuffed with the sharpest blades. The air here is relatively still, and it can't get sunlight, so it's understandable that this situation is not because we didn't check it carefully enough, but because these organs are too delicate. ”

I smiled and said, "Who's to say it's not?" I couldn't have imagined opening the mechanism inside that temple, but the gate was here. It's a kilometer or so away from there, and it's the first time I've seen a messaging system at such a distance. I really don't know how they did it. Because the trap is ambushed, but the shorter the distance, the more powerful it is. But here, it's just a few small arrows. It is not more than 20 centimeters long, but it can open a mechanism from a distance of 1 kilometer. It's really so exquisite, maybe it's already the ultimate of the ambush, right? I looked at Lu Liang and asked, "Really?" ”

Lu Liang nodded and said, "It's really unbelievable. If those keys were broadswords and spears or something, I don't think there would be any difficulty. I'm sure I can do that too. However, if I replaced these keys that were less than 20 centimeters long, I would not be able to do it. Sonny, are you really here? Lu Liang looked at Sonny and asked. Sonny shook his head, and Lu Liang sighed, "You see, Sonny can't do the same." This key is too small. ”

Qin Tai looked at everyone and said, "I said everyone. Are you not moved by what's inside? There is also leisure to discuss these boring questions here. If we could do it, would it still be so hard to find here? ”

We smiled and looked at Qin Tai with a green glow in his eyes, and now he had lost his mind by the treasure inside. It's just that we are wary of this place full of light. There's going to be some kind of high-tech stuff here. It's certainly not ordinary. If there is a mechanism, we should not be able to escape. It is true that science and technology are the primary productive forces, but science and technology are also the first weapons that kill people without seeing blood. It's like an atomic bomb. Hundreds of thousands of people can be easily solved without seeing bloodshed. Since there is electricity here, and it is an electrical device from 12,000 years ago. Do you know what powerful weapons he has inside? There may be more weapons than atomic bombs. We don't know how we're going to die.

Qin Tai watched us not move, and gradually understood. He looked at our dead ones: "Let's go in slowly." Try to be on guard. We nodded. Slowly head inside the gate.

I nodded to Lu Liang, and Lu Liang beckoned Wang Zongjun and Liu Qiang to help and blocked a big stone at the gate to prevent someone from making dumplings. As long as the door is not closed, we all have a chance to escape. This is a necessary skill to enter a place with institutions, and it is often used not only by tomb robbers, but also by archaeologists.

Qin Tai looked at our movements and said in admiration: "It's still so thoughtful." It seems that we really have a lot to learn from you. I've been praising you for your luck, but now I really understand that luck is inseparable from your daily preparation. The more prepared you are, the better your chances of survival. It's not just a matter of luck. ”

I smiled and said, "As long as you understand this, I believe your luck can't be wrong." ”

When we entered the cavern, the first thing we saw was a hall. Looking at this splendid place, Lu Liang said in admiration: "It turns out that Plato is not lying, he is talking about this place. What we saw earlier is nothing more than a fake place, and if it weren't for the mystery solved, I'm afraid we would have been puzzled for the rest of our lives. ”

The floor is all made of brass, as are the surrounding walls. Against the wall was a circle of tables with things we couldn't read. It looks like some kind of instrument. On the walls, there are black crystals on the walls, which make us feel like we are sitting in an Internet café. Those black crystals are too much like liquid crystal displays, and even though there are no images on them, we still think they are liquid crystal displays. 12,000 years ago there were electrical equipment, and there was something strange about some computer equipment.

Qin Tai asked quietly, "Professor Shui, do you say that their technology is really that high?" You can't be mistaken. ”

I shook my head and said, "Haven't you read Steven's book "Central America - Chiapas and Yucatan - A Travelogue?" There is an example of how it says that on a hill overlooking the Mayan city, there was a prototype building about six feet high, and there was a pedestal made of luminous substance that resembled glass. Every time a major decision was made by the Mayan judges, they had to ask their gods for approval. Then the face of the deity appeared on the black, transparent stone. Steven didn't know what it was, and now, don't you understand what it is? ”

Qin Tai looked at me and said, "I understand." Since the remnants of the Mayans still have that civilization, let alone Atlantis in its heyday. (To be continued......)
