Chapter 27: The Maze of the Gods

Does this L have any special meaning? Mo Bitian vaguely felt that the secret hidden behind this pyramid would be more amazing than he imagined.

In order to confirm this, Mo Yitian took Xiao Xiao and continued to walk along the tunnel, hoping to find some other clues.

This long, narrow tunnel has a slope all the way to Xiangshang. It is speculated that it may well lead to the top of the pyramid. The flickering lights on both sides of the tunnel made people's hearts palpitate, but fortunately, the sound of devil crying never sounded again.

After a little more walking, we reached the end of the tunnel. Mo Bitian observed all the way. He found that the murals on the tunnel walls had never been interrupted, and the scene in each painting was basically the same, except that the gods bathed in the light were different. These paintings are engraved with large and small "L". It seems that this senior, who came here before them, is very obsessed with this letter.

When you step out of the tunnel, you will be greeted by a spacious hall. At the entrance to the hall is a stone monument. The stele has a square lattice that resembles a chessboard. There are letters densely packed in the lattice. If you look closely, the letters are all inlaid in the lattice, and there is no logical order between them, just a jumble of Latin letters. Directly in front of the stele are dozens of statues. The statues are all carved out of marble. Mo Bantian counted carefully, there were twenty-one in total. Behind these stone statues are three closed stone doors. The three stone gates are exactly the same, without any decoration on them, which looks both ancient and majestic.

No one knows what's behind the stone gate, but if you don't open the stone gate, there will be no way ahead. Mo walked to the door and tried to push them open, but no matter how hard he tried, the doors didn't move. He was a little reluctant and tried to smash them with his fist, but the result was the same.

There was no way to do it, so I had to withdraw back. He thought for a moment that he thought there should be some mechanism to open the doors. After a series of observations, he turned his attention to the stele. He walked over to the stele again, trying to touch the letters embedded in the lattice. Only then did he discover that the letters were all moving. Just press the letter and it will be concave. It looks like this thing is the combination lock that opens the door.

Now that you know where the password lock is, the next step is to unlock the password. It's stumped again, and it's not a good idea to crack this password? Mo Feitian sat on the ground with his eyes straight ahead, hoping to find some useful clues, but a quarter of an hour later, he still had no clue. When he was bored, he shifted his gaze to the twenty-one stone statues, but he didn't expect that he looked at these stone statues for a few minutes and suddenly became hahadaxiao.

"I see! The answer to the third question is here! I didn't expect these stone statues to be the key. ”

"What? Brother Mo, are you okay? What the hell is wrong with this statue? Xiao Xiao, who had been with him all the time, was quite worried when he saw Mo Xiantian suddenly laughing wildly and talking to himself.

Mo Yitian waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just found a way to open these stone doors." The front statues are not ordinary statues. They are all gods in Greek mythology. I have been wondering just now that there would be statues of Greek gods in the pyramids of the Weishenme Maya. After thinking about it, it dawned on me. The statues are all carved out of marble, and all the structures of this pyramid are limestone, which means that the statues did not belong here at all. They were brought here by later people. I think the person who placed these statues should be the same person who created the strange thing we just experienced. His purpose was obvious, to prevent future generations from setting foot here, or at least to keep the secrets of the pyramid from leaking out. ”

"Secret?"

"Not bad. There's a secret. A friend of mine once left me three puzzles. I've untied two of them. I never knew how to answer this third question. Now that we're stuck here, I suddenly remembered the puzzle. I deduce that the answer to this puzzle is the key to opening the stone doors. Mo Yantian explained at a glance.

Xiao Xiao didn't know Mo Beitian's friend Paul, and she didn't know anything about Greek mythology, so she was puzzled and had to ask Mo Beitian what this puzzle was about.

Mo Beitian smiled, pointed to a statue in front of him, and said, "Look, the one with wings in front is Nikki, the goddess of victory." It was located exactly at twelve o'clock in the room. My friend told me to remember XII, and Nicky's master would show you the direction. Then this XII is exactly the same as the twelve o'clock direction. The statue of Nicky is now pointing right ahead, which I don't think should be the direction she was pointing in the first place. There are three statues of Athena behind her. Each of the three statues faces a stone door. Nicky is Athena's slave god, which means that Athena is Nicky's master in a sense. If my inference is correct, I just need to press the letters on this stele to spell Nicky's name correctly, and the statue will automatically turn around, and it will definitely turn at an angle and point its finger at one of the three statues of Athena. This should trigger the mechanism to open the door. ”

"But there are three doors here, and only one of them is opened, so what about the rest?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Mo Beitian smiled again: "The remaining two doors are traps." ”

"Trap?"

"Yes. This kind of trick is very common. A door that can be safely passed through is a raw door. The rest is a deadly door. I've read a lot of accounts like this, but the skill of designing this kind of life and death door has long been lost. Looking at it this way, this predecessor who preceded us was really knowledgeable and ruthless! Mo said with admiration.

"If that's the case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and crack the mechanism! Xiao Xiao said happily after listening to Mo Yantian's explanation.

"yes, open the door first." Mo Zhitian said and came to the lattice. Start moving the letters on it. N-I-K-E, Nicky! Mo Bitian skillfully pressed the letters. Sure enough, as he pressed the letters one by one, the statue of the goddess of victory slowly turned, and Zuihou froze in a specific position, and its finger happened to point to the statue of Athena in the middle. In an instant, the statue of Athena collapsed, and the stone door in front of it opened.

"Great! Brother Mo, you are so smart! Xiao Xiao clapped her hands and applauded.

"Let's go!" The girl took Mo Yantian's hand and prepared to take a step.

"Wait a minute!" Mo Beitian suddenly thought of something and grabbed Xiao Xiao.

"What's wrong, Brother Mo?"

"I think something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Mo Beitian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let me think about it again." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to the lattice of the stone tablet.

"Twenty-one letters!? Twenty-one!? Statues, letters, and the number twelve Rome!! "Don't go against the sky, I only feel a thrill! Good guy, I almost fell for it.

There are only twenty-one letters on this grid, and the statue of the god is only twenty-one. In ancient times, there were only twenty-one Roman alphabets. It consists of: sixteen consonants, four vowels, and one letter "U" with an indefinite sound. It was only later that it gradually developed into twenty-six letters, which is commonly known as the Latin alphabet. The arrangement of this hall has always been associated with twenty-one, and the clues left by Paul also use the Roman numeral twelve. He kept himself in mind that this "XII" was not only telling him the goddess of victory at twelve o'clock, but more importantly, implying that his labyrinth of the gods was related to Rome.

In this case, then the twenty-one statues should not be Greek gods, they are actually ancient Roman gods. In ancient times, the Roman Empire was at its peak, with a powerful army and a well-established political system, but it did not have a complete system of mythology. In order to fill the cultural gap, Roman priests created their own mythological system modeled on the gods of Greek culture. However, this creation was very crude, and at first it was simply the replacement of Greek gods with Roman names. As a result, the same god now has two names. For example, Zeus, the main god of Greek mythology, is called Jupiter in Roman mythology, Athena is called Minerva, Aphrodite is called Venus, and so on.

THE SPELLING JUST NOW IS NIKE, THE GREEK NAME OF THE GODDESS OF VICTORY. Now it seems that this is wrong, and it is deliberately misleading by the designers. To open the real door, you have to use the Roman name of the goddess of victory, Victoria!

Right! It must be so, and it can't be wrong! Don't spell it carefully: V-I-C-T-O-R, Victoria!

The statue of the goddess of victory turned again, this time pointing her finger to Athena to the left. At the end of the movement, there was a boom, and the statue of Athena fell into the dust, and the real door of life opened.
