Chapter 204: Eight-Armed King Kong
Just when Xiao Na was full of joy and wanted to walk across the stone bridge to check the treasures in the dungeon, her arm was suddenly grabbed. Xiao Na was stunned and turned around, and found that it was Chen Ziyang who grabbed him.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Na asked in a very unpleasant tone, she thought that when the matter was over, Chen Ziyang looked at the treasures all over the ground and was about to negotiate terms with herself, which made Xiao Na's heart very unhappy.
"Look there." After Chen Ziyang finished speaking, she used the flashlight in her hand to guide Xiao Na, Xiao Na looked at Chen Ziyang's flashlight, and then she realized that she had misunderstood Chen Ziyang, it turned out that it was behind the rows of boxes, close to the stone wall at the end of the semicircular stone platform, as if there was something.
The flames in front of those shrines before illuminated most of the circular space, but in the space behind those phoenix crowns, there were no such shrines, so nearly half of the entire underground space was still in darkness.
Although the flashlight could shine on the place where Chen Ziyang asked Xiao Na to pay attention, because of the distance, the two of them couldn't see what the thing on the stone wall was. However, because the ultimate goal of this trip was in front, Xiao Na couldn't wait to find out the situation before acting, she just asked the soldiers who were exploring the way in front to pay more attention to the situation nearby, and followed them and walked forward along the stone bridge.
It wasn't until everyone crossed the dozens of meters long stone bridge that Chen Ziyang saw clearly what was on the stone wall. I saw a huge eight-armed statue of King Kong, standing on the stone wall at the end of this semicircular stone platform. When Xiao Na and the others couldn't wait to check the treasures in those boxes, Chen Ziyang's eyes never left the eight-armed King Kong statue.
Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Chen Ziyang didn't know whether to call it a relief or a statue. This eight-armed King Kong is carved very strangely, every detail of the eight-armed King Kong is carved very well, even the pattern of the bracelet on its wrist is meticulous, and the most strange thing for Chen Ziyang is that the carving method of this eight-armed King Kong does not belong to sculpture nor relief, but seems to be a combination of the two.
The eight arms of the eight-armed Vajra were all completely out of the mountain wall, and each of the eight hands held different weapons, an axe, a sword, a long club, a knife, a hammer, a ring, a trident and a mace. Standing under the statue's arm, Chen Ziyang looked carefully, these weapons turned out to be real, and they were independent of the statue, and they were not carved with the statue.
There is a gap in the hands of the statue, these weapons are placed in the gap formed by the fingers of the statue, the whole eight-armed King Kong is half squatting there, the two legs are also protruding outside the stone wall, the whole statue only its back is combined with the mountain wall, this carving method Chen Ziyang is really unseen and unheard of.
After a visual inspection, Chen Ziyang estimated that this statue was about ten meters high, and his height was one meter seven or eight, barely at the same level as the statue's knees.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang estimated in his heart, according to the proportions of this statue, if his body completely came out of the mountain wall, then it would be no problem for an adult to stand on its shoulders. Could it be that the pattern carved on the lid of the octagonal coffin before refers to this eight-armed Vajra?
Xiao Na and several people are hurrying to count the treasures in these boxes, although everyone knows how much of these things they can't take this time, but making a general registration of the items in the boxes, knowing how much manpower and material resources will be needed for the next move, is the purpose of Xiao Na's action this time, so she happily walked through the middle of the piles of boxes, and didn't notice this statue that made Chen Ziyang very curious.
Originally, Chen Ziyang wanted to find a few more people to help him know the secret of this statue, but he found that except for himself, everyone else was attracted by the treasures in those boxes. What Chen Ziyang despised the most was Wang Ming, who stood beside the box with a limp, and picked up the gem-encrusted gold utensils in the box one by one and looked at them.
Seeing that no one would help him, Chen Ziyang was a little disappointed, and turned his attention back to the statue. During the Tang Dynasty, countries attached great importance to Buddhism, and during that period, Buddhism was unprecedentedly developed, so it is not surprising that there are some Vajra statues related to Buddhism.
But what made Chen Ziyang feel most incomprehensible about this statue was the carving technique of the statue. Even if this statue is carved in an ingenious way, using a combination of sculpture and relief, which Chen Ziyang can barely accept, but what he doesn't understand the most is that he sees that each joint of this statue is carved separately.
Looking closely, the statue's elbow is divided into three parts, the upper arm, the forearm, and the elbow joint between the two arms, and between these three parts, there are two deep and black gaps that are very obvious. This surprised Chen Ziyang, looking at this carving technique, it seems that the material of this statue is not stone, but wood.
According to this carving technique, it seems that the arms of this statue can be moved, and Chen Ziyang carefully looked at all the joints of this statue, and it turned out that they were all carved like this, could this statue really stand up on its own? Could it be that this statue is movable?
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang cautiously stepped forward, stroked the calf part of the statue with his hand, and at the same time carefully knocked on it a few times with a flashlight, yes, it was indeed a statue carved in stone. Whether it is in terms of hardness or feel, Chen Ziyang can judge that the material used to make this statue is 100% stone.
Xiao Na was busy in the middle of those boxes for a long time before her feverish mind calmed down, and then Xiao Na remembered that she needed to find the exit quickly, otherwise even if she counted all these treasures, it would be useless. Just when Xiao Na led the two team members, looking for a way to get out left and right, Chen Ziyang grabbed Xiao Na's shoulder again.
This time, without Chen Ziyang speaking, Xiao Na followed the light of his flashlight and saw what Chen Ziyang's flashlight was shining on. This time, Xiao Na's eyes showed not a trace of surprise, but a trace of fear. Because she has also seen this thing illuminated by Chen Ziyang's flashlight, and this thing left a very bad impression on her.
Just now, when Chen Ziyang continued to study the statue, his flashlight followed the statue's feet and shone on the statue's head, until it finally shone directly above the statue.
This golden bell is very huge, estimated to be about five meters in diameter, there is no pendulum inside the golden bell, and the inner and outer walls are all carved with very strange things that look like runes and words. And Chen Ziyang and Xiao Na have both seen this kind of golden bell, which is in Li Yan's tomb.
When Li Yan's coffin was pried open, what he was holding in his hand was such a golden bell, but the golden bell in Li Yan's hand was very small, and now the golden bell hanging on the head of this eight-armed King Kong statue was very huge.
Now Chen Ziyang is 100% sure that Li Yan's tomb should be modeled after this Bohai Palace, whether it is those purple plants like Wang Lian, or the phoenix crown, or the golden bell in front of him, there are similar imitations in Li Yan's tomb. It may be inappropriate to say that imitations are made, but it may be more of a heritage.
When Wang Chuan introduced the Bohai Palace to Chen Ziyang and a few others, he said that the key to the Bohai Palace was left in the hands of a group of people of Bohai descendants, and these people later settled in the territory of the Eastern Dynasties. Later, the key to open this Bohai Palace, that is, the golden gear, went to the hands of the Li royal family of the Eastern Dynasty.
And Chen Ziyang estimated that what was handed down at that time may not only be the golden gear, but also the gear, along with the seeds of these purple royal lotuses, as well as the branches of the phoenix crown, and even the model of the golden bell, all passed into the hands of the Li royal family, which led to the tomb of Li Yan that was built later, otherwise, the two underground worlds would not have so many places in common.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Na and Chen Ziyang recalled the scene that happened when the small golden bell was rung in Li Zhuo's tomb, and after the small golden bell in Li Zhuo's hand was ringed, it made a buzzing sound, causing the resonance of the mountain, although it did not collapse the mountain, but it also shook down a lot of rubble in the mountain, and at the same time woke up the spiritual guards in the tomb, and countless blood corpses and brain-eating insects were all awakened by the buzzing sound of the golden bell.
Recalling that unpleasant experience, Xiao Na quickly told her subordinates about the situation of the golden bell on her head, telling them to be careful not to touch this thing. Although Xiao Na thinks that her approach may seem a little ridiculous, because the Admiralty is hung very high, these people want to touch it intentionally, and they may not be able to touch it, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, after all, there are lessons from the past, and this Admiralty is better not to touch it.
Just when Xiao Na had just finished giving instructions to everyone, Hu Bo had already found the exit of this stone chamber, not far from the eight-armed King Kong, where the semicircular stone platform was about to end, there was a stone door standing. At the same time, on the side of the stone door, there is a groove, and inside the groove are several gears that are stuck together, and the golden gear is also inside, and there is also a crank on the side of the gear.
Seeing these familiar things again, Chen Ziyang patted the back of his head, and despised in his heart that the designer of the Bohai Palace was really uncreative, and it was these things that were turned over and over, and there was nothing new to make people feel new. At Xiao Na's signal, Chen Ziyang stepped forward again and shook the crank.
But this time, after the shaker was shaken, the scene was different from the previous one. First of all, although the golden gear was also rotating with the crank, this time it did not disappear into the wall again, but still stayed there. And the second thing that is different is that the stone door in front of everyone did not open with the rotation of the crank in Chen Ziyang's hand.
Just when Chen Ziyang was wondering if this mechanism was invalid, he suddenly heard Yang Lei shouting: "Look there!" The others looked in the direction of Yang Lei's finger. I saw that under the illumination of Yang Lei's flashlight, a huge iron bucket appeared out of thin air above everyone's heads.
This bucket definitely appeared out of thin air, because everyone had looked at the gears on the top of this underground space from the inside to the outside, and there was nothing else in the shape of this bucket except for the bucket that was used as a timekeeping device. It seems that this thing should have appeared after Chen Ziyang shook the handlebar.
The volume of this iron bucket was much larger than the iron bucket placed on the lever, and with the rotation of the crank in Chen Ziyang's hand, the huge iron bucket slowly slid along the track towards one of the waterfalls.
Chen Ziyang deliberately stopped the movement in his hand, he found that after he stopped shaking, the huge iron bucket also stopped moving, and then he quickly shook the crank again, and the movement speed of the iron bucket also accelerated, it seems that it is indeed the mechanism in his hand that controls the movement of this iron bucket.
And the golden gear that did not disappear made Chen Ziyang's heart sprout a strong joy, it seems that as he guessed, this golden gear has been guiding everyone in the direction of progress. Every time they open a trap, the gears disappear and they go to the next place to wait.
And this time this golden gear did not disappear, which let Chen Ziyang know that they had really reached the end of the dungeon, and at the same time, these treasures in front of them could also illustrate this problem. It seems that these people are going to walk out safely, and Wang Lele, who has been in a coma for a long time, should be able to wake up.
Chen Ziyang's eyes moved with the huge iron bucket, and the iron bucket slowly moved to the bottom of one of the waterfalls in the space under his shaking, and after a while, the huge iron bucket was filled with water in the waterfall, and then, the iron bucket slowly descended, and with the iron bucket moving down, there was a dull sound from the stone wall behind everyone.
I saw that the stone gate behind everyone was slowly rising with the descent of the iron bucket.
