Chapter Seventy-Three: The Inexplicable Shell
With the fat man's suspicious voice, it also made me feel inexplicably entangled in my heart. "Leshan Giant Buddha?" I'm sure I heard it right, and when I raised my head, turned around, and looked at it, the whole person couldn't help but feel stunned, as the fat man said, just in front of us, there is a tall Buddha statue, whether it is in appearance, or in form, it looks like the legendary "Leshan Giant Buddha".
In the general environment of the whole surrounding area, a "Leshan Giant Buddha" is located in the center, followed by the next side of the Big Buddha, there are several smaller Buddha statues. In front of the Buddha, on the ground not far from us, there is a raised circular pool of water that has long since dried up.
When I walked over, I swept around the pool, and saw that the side was inlaid with ancient zodiac signs, each zodiac was carved on a square stone, which looked very neat and clear. In the very center of the pool, there are four square troughs.
Looking at this confusing structure, I tried to look at it a few more times, raised my head, and found that everyone was walking towards the big hole in front of me, the big hole was just below the big Buddha, and my eyes happened to meet Zhang Yu, "Xiao Ke, keep up" Zhang Yu said lightly, my heart warmed, and I hurriedly followed.
Presumably just experienced a life and death, and walked back from the edge of the cliff, everyone was cautious mixed with a little excitement. Seeing the big hole exposed, he didn't hesitate for long before walking in.
As soon as I entered the cave, I felt a hot wind blowing in my face, and it felt like I had been by an old tree before. The slight difference is that not only is the wind blowing hot, but the rocks next to it are a fiery red, as if they have been roasted in a blazing fire.
Realizing the strangeness of it, we didn't dare to breathe, and our footsteps slowed down unnaturally, and we didn't go far, which just verified the worry in our hearts, just under our feet, the bones all over the ground, and we couldn't find a single body that was intact.
At the same time, with my auditory acumen, I faintly heard the sound of intermittent "snorting" in front of me, and my intuition seemed to tell me that there was something different in the depths of the cave.
Unable to define it a little, we stopped for a moment, or rushed straight ahead, and gradually, we were surprised to see that in an open stone room, there was a corpse half leaning against the wall, whether it was all the way down, the only complete skeleton we saw, or the scene in front of us, the facts tell us that something seems to have happened here before.
I saw that around the bones, there were green vines stretching upwards on the ground, and on top of the vines, there were a few fiery red fruits, which were very gorgeous and looked extremely attractive. And that's not all, the two dark gray shells were tied to one side of the wall as if they were treasures, and the iron locks were tied to death. It seems that this thing should have attached great importance to the corpse in front of him before his death, so much so that he restrained them with an iron lock, which is enough to see the extent of his attention.
Zhang Yu stepped forward silently, his index finger and middle finger together, poked at the wall, and in an instant, a hole was exposed, and then, the scope of the hole continued to expand, and the iron lock began to become unfixed because of itself.
Clang~
The voice sounded a little trance, and at the moment when I was stunned, Zhang Yu directly handed the two shells to my hand, and said: "Xiao Ke, this thing seems so ordinary, but it is very likely to determine whether we can continue to walk, my intuition has always told me."
I looked at Zhang Yu in surprise, but I didn't expect that Zhang Yu, who had always given me a rigorous impression, would also believe in feelings. I took the shell and put it in my arms. At the same time, his gaze inadvertently fell on the back of the bones, and in the accumulated dust, it seemed to be mixed with something, revealing a little golden light.
I tried to lower my body and push away the accumulated dust, and found that what was buried in the dust was a golden "hinge" carved with strange shapes, standing upright, and in the middle of the hinge, there hung something like a round tray stuck on it, extending a little outward.
As soon as I was about to study it carefully, the whole ground shook violently, and then I heard a loud sound of "boom, boom, boom", which began to come out from the depths, and a wave of heat scattered in all directions.
The sudden change blinded us all at once. Zhang Yu, who was the first to react, opened his mouth and shouted at us: "Go out quickly, the whole person will stand straight in front and back, and stay behind the palace."
The moment I turned around, I was surprised to see a monster with a whole body glowing with fire galloping from the depths, with two dragon-like horns on top of its head, a long tail behind its back, and four of them standing on the ground, which made me feel like the "fire unicorn" I had seen on TV.
Whether it is a "fire unicorn" or not, it is definitely not something we can compete with. Zhang Yu relied on the small silver sword at his neck to entangle with the "Fire Qilin" for a while, and taking advantage of the small gap left here, we just ran towards the outside of the cave.
When I finally walked out of the hole, before I could stand firmly, there was a majestic wave of air rushing out of the hole, I was like a kite with broken strings, and the whole person was blown down uncontrollably, and the mighty and domineering "Fire Qilin" directly pushed Zhang Yu out.
Seeing this situation, everyone picked up the AK47 in their hands and began to shoot at the "Fire Kirin", and the "Fire Kirin" roared at the same time, constantly running back and forth between several people, everyone with their size and dexterity, just to extend some time, but it is not a way to go on in the long run.
When I stood up, I grabbed the golden reels that fell to the ground, and who knows, my hand was inexplicably loosened, and the golden reels fell directly into the pool. I originally thought that the golden reels would fall, but to my surprise, there seemed to be an invisible force supporting the reels. The reels did not fall because of this, but erected.
At the same time, the tray in the center began to rotate. When it stopped, a golden light suddenly reflected on the snake in the zodiac. I was startled and tried to reach for the stone with the snake pattern carved into it, and was surprised to find that it could be moved.
Thinking of the four grooves in the middle of the pool, I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, it is that the hinge is like a "number machine" in reality, as long as the corresponding "number", that is, the stone is pushed into the fixed groove. Thinking of this, I didn't dare to hesitate at all, Zhang Yu's side, everyone couldn't support it.
Then I flicked the tray on the hinge with my hand, and the second golden light suddenly reflected on the rabbit in the zodiac, and with the same as last time, my whole body became proficient.
Descending in turn, four stones were pushed into the groove one after the other.
This is where the mutation takes place.
First, a ray of light suddenly flew out from the eyes of the "Leshan Giant Buddha", and then it reflected with the light emitted by the pool. To my astonished gaze, the pool seemed to have a cumbersome mechanism that was slowly activating.
In the end, the center of the pool exploded violently, and suddenly a big hole was revealed, which went straight to the ground, and when I saw the way out, I was immediately overjoyed, and I was busy beckoning to Zhang Yu and others.
Surprisingly, Zhang Yu and the others ran over like this, and the "Fire Qilin" seemed to be afraid of something, and actually stood in the distance and snorted loudly, watching us burrow into the hole. The fat man touched the bruised hands, and the intestines were all repentant, "I knew that this was a treasure of feng shui, so I came here first." (To be continued.) )
