Having said that, I don't have a bottom in my heart, so I can only bite the bullet, and I hope nothing will go wrong while reciting the blessing of the Buddha in my mouth. When the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info knocked on the fifth piece, my heart was already half cold, and the fifth stone brick was covered with fine sand, and there was no trace of movement, so I picked up the hammer and knocked it.

The echo of emptiness came out, and I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart. Stood up and asked the fat man, "Who knocked this?" ”

The fat man looked back at everyone, and the rest of them looked at each other, but no one accosted them. I asked again, "One by one, I won't eat you if I say it, I just want to make sure, or you should stand back in your place." ”

A few people quickly got back to their places, except for Gu Tong standing on a stone brick next to me, his head bowed. It turns out that this guy not only has bad eyes, but when I was assigning a place, I was also distracted, this thing heard and saw the difference, and I didn't have time to care about so much, if I hadn't knocked it from the beginning, I was afraid that we would have to miss this extremely important clue.

The fat man smiled on the side: "Ancient expert, are you intellectuals like this?" I learned too many advanced things, and I forgot all the simple ones, and I couldn't count them. ”

Gu Tong's face was said by the fat man, blue for a while, white for a while, and speechless.

I hurriedly interrupted the fat man: "Little Fatty, you were still finishing the mud when the ancient experts were studying, how could a layman like you know the things in people's brains." ”

I wanted to make a round, but as soon as the words came out, I felt that I had said something wrong, and hurriedly beckoned the fat man to come over to help and sweep away the sand and dust on the stone bricks. A square floor tile was exposed on the ground, and a circle was carved on the floor tiles, with an octagonal pattern in the circle, and in the middle was a deep groove with the symbol of the word "swastika".

The fat man frowned: "Hmm... Looks like we're still going to have to use explosives. ”

I know what he means, but in my opinion, it hasn't reached that point yet, since it's empty at the bottom, there will naturally be a way to open it, but we haven't found a way, explosives, until it's really a last resort.

Let a few of them help, brushing away the fine sand on several bricks around them, all of them are similar patterns, and the circles on each stone brick are carved with swords, and the tip of the sword points directly to the "swastika" character in the middle. At first glance, there seemed to be no difference, and on closer inspection, there would be a sword missing the hilt on each stone brick.

I saw this detail in my eyes, I beckoned the fat man to come over to help, in order to prevent accidents, and let the rest of the people retreat to the door of the main hall, wiped a cold sweat on his head and told the fat man that the problem above, the missing hilt of the sword is likely to be aimed at the stone slab in the middle, if the four stone slabs around are turned in turn, the door to the underground palace will also be opened.

In order to be sure, I did the calculation again on the sand, according to its arrangement, and the surrounding environment, if I guessed correctly, it should be starting from the one facing the left side of the gate, and turning the stone slab counterclockwise in turn, either in one breath, or four bricks can not exceed nine times, or eighteen times, whether it is Taoist or Buddhist, in short, our limit is eighteen.

The fat man said, "Okay, don't chatter, although I don't read much, at least I can't count wrong." ”

I silently recited in my heart: "Yin and Yang are opposed, the four images are unmoving, the five elements are born together, the gossip is like an elephant, all things are all-encompassing, turning..."

The two of them exerted force on a stone slab at the same time, and when the last stone slab returned to its place, they only heard a few clicks, and the stone slab in the middle caved down, revealing a bottomless tunnel.

Maybe we were scared by that moment just now, and when we saw the tunnel open, we both subconsciously took a few steps back and raised our guns to be on guard in case of accidents. After waiting for a long time, I saw that there was no response, so I slowly walked into the tunnel, and the flashlight shone into the stone steps of a black stone building, obliquely leading to the underground palace below, the light of the flashlight was limited, and I couldn't see it farther.

The fat man flashed his flashlight twice at the door, beckoning the six people outside the door to come in, and when everyone saw that I had opened the tunnel, they admired my art of evolution and praised me again and again.

At this time, the scorching sun is at the head, it is noon, I casually humble a few words, then let everyone pack up, go to the outside of the hall to drink saliva, eat some dry food, first, this secret road is bottomless, I don't know how long it will take, second, the secret road has been sealed for thousands of years, the air inside is not circulating, I don't know what poisonous gas will be, when the time will inevitably be troublesome, take advantage of this time to disperse gas.

During the break, except for me and the fat man, the rest of us were talking about what to do after we went in.

The quarrel made people uneasy, and the fat man stopped: "Can you stop talking, which of you has gone down?" I haven't gone down, everything is in vain, there is a road inside, I walked until there was no way, and then I came back. If someone builds you a labyrinth, you don't even think about these useless things. ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard it, thinking that what the fat man said was reasonable, and they felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't find anything to refute, especially Emma, who closed her mouth angrily, and glared at the fat man fiercely with a pair of big eyes.

After eating and drinking, everyone rested for a while, and then I led the team down the secret passage in the temple. There is a gear-like protrusion underneath the entrance, which can be reclosed and opened from the inside by turning the gearstone slab. The design of the mechanism is so ingenious that it is relatively rare even in today's society, let alone appeared thousands of years ago, and it would be unimaginable if everything in this temple was designed by the rulers of the time.

At the end of the stone steps, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a space of more than 100 square meters appeared in front of us, and there was a five-meter-high, three-meter-wide corridor in front of us.

I didn't rush into the road, but now I turned around, and when we turned to the back of the stone steps, a reflective glass blocked our way, and the flashlight looked for it, and when we looked closely, it was a piece of glass standing in front of us.

Looking inside, it was covered with palm-sized spiders crawling on the glass, densely packed and looking terrifying. There is an arched door half a meter high underneath, also made of glass, presumably for feeding, and countless bones are piled up on the ground. At the top of the glass, it should be the lotus seat.

In this case, I can't help but feel a little worried about the road ahead, the ruler of Xiaowan Kingdom, since he can design such an exquisite mechanism, such a large glass cage, and raise such a large number of monsters, if it is a mausoleum here, the next road is afraid that it will be very difficult.

Perhaps because of the strange spiders, we didn't find anything of value here.

Walking into this pitch-black, wide corridor, the top of the corridor is a curved ceiling, and the walls are not transparent glass, nor are there dark stones, but some brightly colored and exquisite murals.

The murals are full of birds, big and small, orioles, cuckoos, sparrows, swallows, magpies, etc., almost all of them that I have seen, and there are countless of them. Xiaowan is a multi-religious country, they not only believe in religion, but also worship something common to religion - birds. With so many birds, and such a vicious mechanism in front of the tunnel, the trespassers would have ended up like bones in a glass cage if they had not been approved by the ruling class.

However, judging from the number of bones in the glass cage, there were not a few people who wanted to break into this dungeon back then, but in the end, they all became feed for strange spiders.

Due to the fact that the dust has been sealed for too long, and it is in the depths of the desert, the air cannot be circulated, and the color of the mural on this wall is as good as new, and it has not peeled off at all, and you can still vaguely see the exquisite painting skills of the Sai people back then. Emma and Gutong were thrilled to see each other.

Gu Tong said that as early as the Republic of China, there were some murals in the ruins of the ancient city of Xinjiang, including the now well-known Longmen Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes, most of which are murals of religious themes, because of the war and poor government protection, many of them have been looted, and even now there are some Dunhuang murals preserved in the British Museum. Such a complete and mysterious mural can be found here, and if it is displayed, it is comparable to the eight wonders of the world.

Of course, I don't have much to say about this, but I'm just curious, there are birds painted everywhere, and there is something mysterious about it. Gu Tong also said that the religion of Xiaowan is complex and there are many schools, which is very unfavorable to the ruler, why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismiss the hundred schools of thought and agree with a kind of thought, which is conducive to centralized rule, and it is the same for this Xiaowan country, so there is a phoenix with the same roots.

Based on what we knew before, it's really hard to say whether this phoenix is good or bad. After all, this animal is a mythical thing, and if it really exists, we may be able to find some clues in this mural full of birds in front of us. If you really want to meet again, you can know yourself and your opponent.

However, in all the murals of Yongdao, there is no so-called phoenix, the fresco is further back, the fewer and fewer birds behind, and in the end they are simply replaced by spiders, and then there are some rituals, a group of **** slaves, who are tied with their hands behind their backs and kneeling on the ground, a person holding a scepter in front of the phoenix mural, takes an egg from the stone platform.

Then he raised it high, opened his mouth wide, presumably chanting a mantra, and then a strange wind blew, and the heads of the slaves who were tied to the ground fell to the ground.

The lotus seat in the center then vanished, and a swarm of spiders replaced the lotus seat, and the spiders swept over the corpses lying on the ground like a whirlwind cloud, and everywhere they went, they became deflated and dried corpses.

We've all seen and experienced these scenes. In a way, it does confirm the conjecture of Gutong and Emma, but it adds a certain amount of weirdness and mystery to what is going on with the bird painted before the ceremony.
