Chapter 103: A Rolling Face

I suddenly thought of one thing, the Liuyi Dunmen mechanism we saw in the ancient tomb on the island was built by Xu Fu, so who built these mechanisms similar to the Liuyi Dunmen that we saw at this time? When the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan and the Zhou Dynasty were at war, it was more than 800 years earlier than Xu Fu was born. And Luo Shu and Qimen Dunjia are both things left over from ancient times, so in this case, how did Xu Fu understand the structure similar to Liuyi Dunmen, is he really a genius who has no teacher, or, could it be that Xu Fu has also been here?

Wen Mo jumped down from the feet of the stone statue, "Can you help me make two torches?" ”

"Huh?" I didn't understand, "As for lighting, we have a flashlight, isn't this better than a torch?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "It's not lighting, I have other uses!" ”

"Okay, okay," Wenmo wouldn't make pranks, since he wanted to, he must have a reason. Shi Tao and I started to figure out how to make torches. We didn't expect to use this kind of thing at all, so we were completely unprepared, and now we suddenly want to make torches, not to mention anything else, and we can't find the most basic main materials for torches!

Shi Tao pointed to the ancient battlefield behind him, "I'll go there and take a look, maybe I can find a working flagpole or something." ”

I nodded, but I didn't hold out much hope, after all, it had been a thousand years, not to mention the flagpoles, and even the drawbridge over the moat was rotten.

Kong Xue and I found some medical alcohol from our equipment, which may be used as an accelerant.

Soon Shi Tao walked back from the ancient battlefield, I saw that he was holding a ball of flocculent objects in his hand, and I couldn't tell whether it was a flag or clothing, and in his other hand, he was really holding two sticks, I was overjoyed, and Shi Tao really found the right material.

But it wasn't until I walked in, Shi Tao shook the thing in his hand, I saw clearly, the stick in his hand turned out to be two thigh bones, Kong Xue and I were startled, I subconsciously took a step back, "Brother Tao, what do you mean, you don't want to use this thing to make torches, right?" ”

Shi Tao raised the thigh bone in his hand and looked at it, "What is this, don't think that this is a human bone, you just think that this is a horse bone, and a cow bone will not be necessary." An upside-down bucket is still afraid of bones? As he spoke, he handed over one.

In fact, to be honest, since Qilian Mountain, I have experienced so many things, I don't know why, I gradually stopped being so afraid of corpses, and all kinds of things began to be strange, but only human bones, every time I see them, I will feel a chill in my heart.

I consciously overcame this situation, so although I was a little scared, I still took the leg bone. We wrapped the flocculent material that Shi Tao found around the leg bone with a bandage, then poured some alcohol, and used a lighter to make a little bit, and the red flames immediately rose. Holding the torch we made, except for the white color of the hand, which looks a little weird, the others are quite similar.

We handed the torches to Wenmo, and Wenmo put the two torches at the feet of the two stone statues, and I walked over to take a closer look and found that at the feet of the two stone statues, there was a circular groove on each of them, and it should be just right for ordinary torches to be placed on them.

But the builders of the year couldn't have imagined that a thousand years later, a few people made torches with bone joints, so our torches were a little difficult to put in, so we had to use a knife to trim them, and then put in the two circular grooves.

The flaming flames danced at the feet of the huge stone statues on both sides, and we were surprised to find that due to the special position of the torches, they were almost between the feet of the stone statues, so that the shadows of the torches took on a strip-like shape.

The shadows of the torches on both sides just show an angle. Two shadows cross on the ground.

Wen Mo walked to the place where the faces were carved on the ground and nodded, "This should be it." ”

A few of us also hurried over to take a look, and found that the intersection of the two shadows was just covering the ground on a human face carving. I asked Wenmo: "This human face is the key to finding the entrance?" ”

Wen Mo nodded, "Let's go to the stone walls on both sides now, looking for the expression that corresponds to the human face carving on the ground." ”

So I went with Kong Xue in a group, Shi Tao and Wenmo in a group, and looked for the corresponding faces according to what Wenmo said. Soon the two of us heard Shi Tao's shout, "Found it!" Here it is! ”

We ran over to take a look, and sure enough, on the stone wall, there was an expression carved exactly like the face of the person marked on the ground. This is a face with rolling eyes, carved quite realistically, and vividly showing an underbeaten expression.

But we searched for a long time on the stone wall and didn't find any entrance, we felt very strange, could it be that we were looking for the wrong one, it shouldn't be, Wenmo's approach and the way to find the result were reasonable and logical, it was too much like the correct answer.

I used a flashlight to carefully look at the face on the stone wall, I always feel that this face is a little different from other carvings, I went to the side to find another face carving, carefully looked at it, all the details in my mind, and then returned to the original position, after this comparison, I finally found that there is indeed a little difference between the two faces in addition to expressions.

Kong Xue asked curiously, "Zhuo Ran, what are you doing?" ”

Shi Tao walked over, "Did you find anything?" ”

I nodded, "Sort of, but I still need to verify it." As I spoke, I looked at several more faces carved on the stone walls. Sure enough, all the other faces are carved in the same way, except for the one we found that was a little special.

I returned to the position I was in just now, and everyone else came over, Kong Xue looked at me with a smile and said, "Looking at your expression, you must know something?" ”

I laughed too, "Have you noticed that almost all human faces have only eyes and no pupils?" And this is the only one," I said, pointing to the face on the stone wall in front of me, "and only this one face, carved with pupils facing upwards, so we feel as if he is rolling his eyes." ”

The others looked left and right for a moment, then got closer and took a closer look at the face in front of us, and nodded, "Sure enough." ”

Kong Xue frowned, "But what does this mean?" ”

I smiled, "You can do this." ”

Shi Tao rolled his eyes up suspiciously, and immediately shouted, "Ah, I understand! It means that the entrance should be on it! ”

I nodded, then shone my flashlight upwards, and sure enough, I saw half an iron chain hanging five or six meters above the stone wall.

Shi Tao nodded, "It seems that yes, the entrance should be there." Brother Zhuoran, you are amazing! I pretended to be modest and waved my hand, and I saw that even Wenmo's eyes had a hint of approval in them, which made me a little proud.

Kong Xue walked over, patted me on the shoulder, and pretended to be deep and said, "En! Well done! ”

"That's it!" I looked up triumphantly. "Don't look at who I am!"

Kong Xue glanced at me, "Say you're fat and panting!" Fortunately, this face is an eye-rolling expression, if it is a crying expression, will I still make you cry! ”

"This ......"

Wen Mo didn't hesitate any longer, took out the steel claw from his bag, aimed at the position where the iron chain was hanging on it, and threw it up. Throwing this kind of thing is a piece of cake for Wen Mo, the steel claw is accurately hooked to the root of the iron chain, and as the cow tendon rope at the end of the steel claw is pulled in, the steel claw is clung to the iron chain.

Wen Mo fell, and after confirming that there was no problem, he pulled the cow tendon rope with both hands, jumped up, and after two relays on the stone wall with his feet, he arrived at the entrance very lightly.

I asked below, "Hey, boss, how's it going?" ”

Wenmo didn't speak, just returned his hand and made an OK gesture. It seemed that the top was safe, so the three of us climbed up one by one.

When I got to the top, I saw that a piece of rope was still tied to that section of the iron chain, I took it and looked at it, and found that it was half a relatively new climbing rope, it seems that someone had just entered from here not long ago, could it be the team of people from the Tang family?

I tossed the rope aside, knowing in my heart that none of these things mattered, that they should have met and that they would have met them!

From where we are, we can see that this is a passage that has been dug out by hand. It's just that on both sides of the passage, at intervals, a human face with rolling eyes is carved. This situation makes us feel very strange.

Our flashlights swept over, and all around us were faces rolling their eyes, and even though they were sculptures carved into the stone walls, the feeling was still uncomfortable.

We walked along the passage for a short time, when we suddenly noticed a row of stone steps that began to extend downward.

We took two steps down the stairs and immediately stopped. Because under the illumination of our flashlight, there were water waves under the steps.

Is there water down there? I picked up a stone and threw it down, and the stone fell into the water with a "thud", causing a sparkling wave.

"I'll go! How can there be water in this place? "Looking at the dark water, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Wen Mo squatted at the water's edge and looked at it, "The water quality is very clear, and the water temperature is also very low, it shouldn't be stagnant water, it should be the water of the underground dark river." ”

I asked, "How did the water from the underground river get here?" ”

Wen Mo stood up and shook the water in his hand, "Maybe it was artificially introduced, or it was infiltrated by a siphon." As he spoke, Wenmo walked down, I wanted to stop him, but before the words could be spoken, Wenmo had already stepped into the water.
