Chapter 29: The Stone Chamber
But no matter how many people searched, they couldn't find a way to open the stone door. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, Zhang Mengmeng began to seriously observe the strange beast engraved on the stone door.
"What is this carved on this stone door? Why have I never seen one? Zhang Mengmeng asked a few people.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it either." Lin Tao replied.
Li Wen stepped forward to look at it for a while and said, "This should be Pixiu." ”
"Pixiu? Is that Pixiu one of the nine sons of the dragon? Zhang Mengmeng asked.
"Yes, it's that Pixiu. Pixiu, also known as warding off evil spirits and Tianlu, is a fierce beast in ancient Chinese books and folk myths and legends. Pixiu has a mouth and no anus, can swallow the world's wealth without leaking, only in and out, and has special magical powers, so it has the implication of attracting wealth and entering the treasure and absorbing the wealth of the Quartet. Pixiu can also be a town house, so people who do business want to be able to get a Pixiu to put at home. Although there are many pixiu that can be used for decoration, how many can really attract wealth. ”
"Then what does it mean that there is a Pixiu engraved here?" Zhang Mengmeng then asked.
"This Pixiu head is facing outward, indicating that the wealth is sucked in, and I think there may be some treasure inside." Levine explained.
"Don't worry if you have a treasure or not, you can open the door." Okawa said.
Zhang Mengmeng looked at Pixiu on the stone door, and suddenly she felt that one of Pixiu's eyes was a little strange, as if it was not engraved, and it looked very different from the other. She reached out and touched the eye, and saw that it seemed to be able to move. Then she pressed hard, and sure enough, her eyes were pressed down, and there was a sudden "click" sound from the door. When several people heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, thinking that there would be some crossbow-like hidden weapon launched. Lin Tao saw that Zhang Mengmeng was still standing in front of the door, and hurriedly pulled her over and stepped back.
After a "click" sound, the stone door began to open upwards. Several people were a little nervous, not knowing what would be behind the stone gate.
When the stone gate was fully opened, there was no hidden weapon launched inside, and several people were relieved, but they did not completely relax, because they did not know what would appear behind the stone gate.
Several people walked through the stone door with flashlights and found that this was a stone room, the stone room was not very large, and there were many boxes on the floor of the stone room. A few people turned left and right in the stone chamber, found a few lamps on the wall, tried them with lighters, and the lights were still on. After lighting all the lamps with a lighter, the inside of the stone chamber could be seen more clearly.
When they noticed that several boxes had been opened, they walked over to look at them, and when they came to the boxes, they were stunned. I saw that the boxes were full of some gold, silver and jewelry, and if those unopened boxes were also filled with such things, how much would it be worth?
"Wow, we're rich, and if we take these out and sell them, it's enough for us to spend a few lifetimes! Hahaha! ”
Zhang Mengmeng was excited to rush over to grab those jewels, Lin Tao hurriedly grabbed her, pointed to a few boxes next to her and said to her. "You can take it out if you have a life, be careful, take the lifeless flower."
Zhang Mengmeng looked along the place he pointed, and saw that the box there was also open, and there were still two human bones lying on the box, and some jewels were hanging on the finger bones of the bones.
"How come there are dead people here, and how did they die here?" Zhang Mengmeng asked Lin Tao.
"You ask me, I ask who to go."
"Could it be that someone in their own people wants to take the treasure for themselves, and kill them while they are not looking?" Liu Qian asked.
"No, if someone had taken the treasure alone, the things here would have been emptied long ago. Moreover, there is no murder weapon left here, and there is no blood flowing on the ground, so it should not have been killed. Lin Tao replied.
"Look at the hands of the bones." The thin monkey pointed to the finger bones of the corpse and said.
Several people looked at the hand of the corpse and found that the hand holding the jewel was actually black.
"It looks like the jewels are poisoned, they must have been poisoned." Lin Tao said.
"It's good that you pulled it in time, otherwise Mengmeng might have become like this. These things can only be seen, not touched, let alone taken away. Levine said. Have you forgotten the Pixiu on the stone gate, the Pixiu beckons wealth, it is only swallowed and not leaked, so don't think about taking out the things here. ”
Zhang Mengmeng glanced at the boxes with palpitations, and hurriedly stepped back away from them.
"Leave these boxes alone, we can't take them out. Look to see if there are any other exits, and it is important to go out first. ”
Lin Tao said and began to look for it in the stone room, and the rest of the people also scattered to find the exit. In this stone chamber, there was nothing on the walls except a few lamps, and there was nothing on the floor except for the chests and two bones.
Several people began to slap on the wall, and when Jin Lili slapped to a place, there was a sound of "dong dong" on the wall, which seemed a little hollow.
"Listen, it seems to be empty behind it." Jin Lili said to a few people.
Lin Tao and Da Chuan put their ears against the wall, patted the wall with their hands and listened, and found that the back was indeed empty.
"This should be the exit from here, but this is a wall, how do you get out?" Lin Tao wondered.
"We're looking to see if there's a mechanism to open, there should be a door here to see if we can open it." Okawa said.
So a few people began to look for the mechanism again, and a few people patted here and there in the stone room, and after searching all over the room, they couldn't find the mechanism that could open the door, so they went to touch the boxes with jewels.
"We can't find an organ here, we can't open the door, how can we get out? Do we have to go back the way we came from? Liu Qian asked.
"We have to be able to go back the way we came, and we can only find a way to get out of here now." Okawa said.
"Could it be that the agency is also on top of the door to come in?" Zhang Mengmeng said and walked under the stone door that came in, but the stone door has not been put down since it was opened. Now I can't find a mechanism on the door, and a few people don't know how to close the door.
"Have you tried turning those lamps?" At this time, Wu Yunfang, who was standing next to Li Wen, asked this sentence.
When several people heard this, their eyes lit up, and they kept looking for mechanisms on the wall, forgetting that lamps can also be made into mechanisms. A few people walked to each lamp and tried to turn it, and then they heard Liu Qian cry in surprise.
"This can be turned, and this should be the mechanism."
Liu Qian turned the lamp in her hand vigorously, the lamp made a clicking sound, turned around, and then saw that a stone door appeared on the wall where they slapped the hollow sound just now, and the stone door was rotated and opened on both sides with the middle as the axis, leaking out the space behind.
"Great, it's time to get out of here." Liu Qian said.
"It's a pity that I can't take these treasures out." Zhang Mengmeng said.
"Money is something outside the body, and it's good to get out alive. If it's not yours, don't force it. Lin Tao said.
"Don't be emotional, the door is already open. Let's go. Okawa said.
Several people looked very happy when they saw the stone door open. Walking towards the back of the door one after another, there is a passage behind the door, and under the illumination of the flashlight, there is no end in sight. A few people had to walk cautiously towards the front.
