291 Temple Monoliths
readx;?“ The first stone pillar, push up to half the length! The old immortal said, Ling Xiaotian did so, and Zi Yan watched his movements without blinking on the side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info//Baidu search:Read novels//
"Pull down a third of the second one, boy, don't give me a discount, how much is a third, I'll do it after I've calculated it!"
"The third pillar is pushed up two-fifths of its length!"
Ling Xiaotian did exactly what the old immortal said, as soon as the third stone pillar was in place, the stone wall began to tremble, and made a "click" sound, and the stone wall ten steps away opened an opening, eighty centimeters wide and about two meters high.
"It's amazing!" Ling Xiaotian said sincerely: "This is a temple built more than 2,000 years ago, and the mechanism inside is still so sensitive, it is really incredible!" ”
"yes, it's rare for people to be able to build such a delicate mechanism these days!" Zi Yan looked at Ling Xiaotian and asked, "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”
"Of course!" Ling Xiaotian took out the fire fold and torch, lit the torch, and threw the fire fold directly into the entrance, this is a narrow passage, the material on all four sides of the ground above his head is all stones, the empty space in the passage is very damp, and his hands are slippery on the stone wall.
The temple is used to worship and worship the dead, and there are generally burial goods in it, even if it was a very worthless thing at the time, it is considered an antique two or three thousand years later, so the builder of the temple will fully consider that future generations will come here to steal property, so the mechanism inside is the most common thing.
The reason why there is no such temple in the Phantom Cloud Continent is mainly that it was stolen by some bad mercenaries, in order not to leave any clues, after the property inside is emptied, it will be destroyed, and over time, this kind of temple will disappear from people's sight!
"Zi Yan, be careful!" Ling Xiaotian took Zi Yan's little hand, Zi Yan nodded, and the two walked in one after the other.
The old immortal had already figured out the mechanism settings here, and he always reminded Ling Xiaotian at the most timely time that the two of them had passed through this passage without danger, you must know that this passage alone was more than ten meters long, and there were three kinds of hidden weapon mechanisms on it, and they were all quenched with poison, which was the kind of poison that would not lose its effectiveness for thousands of years.
At the end of the passage is a space of timely square meters, in an irregular shape, the top is about five or six meters high from the ground, and there are traces of knives and axes everywhere, but the workmanship is very rough, and there is hardly a flat place.
"Xiaotian, is this the main hall?" Zi Yan asked.
"Definitely not!" Ling Xiaotian frowned and said, "Since this is a place for worship, at least there should be an altar, but there is nothing here, and there is no trace of theft, so there is still a mechanism inside!" ”
In fact, he doesn't have to tell him that he can guess a seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, when he was a librarian, another type of book he liked more was exploration and tomb robbing, whether it was documentary or purely apocryphal, he had read a lot, and he had a certain amount of research on such an environment.
"Boy, the trap is on the stone wall!" The old immortal smiled and said, "Don't you really want to achieve something by your own ability, I'll give you a chance, this time you will find it yourself, how about it?" ”
"If you look for it yourself, will you find it yourself, will I not find it?" Ling Xiaotian took out a small hammer from the Qiankun ring and began to "clang" on the stone wall.
……
Jiang Yicheng took a sip of the kettle handed by Liu Tiancheng and asked, "What are the bosses and second sisters doing, shouldn't they kiss me over there in broad daylight?" ”
Xiao Yi glared at Jiang Yicheng and said, "What is on your mind, I think there must be something else, let's wait, I think they will be back in a while!" ”
Liu Tiancheng smiled and said, "Our boss is not shallow, hehe, when will we be able to mix to this point!" After I go back, I really have to discuss with Lao Long and them, and recruit more beauties when we recruit students next year, and our life will be much better! ”
"Dreaming!" Xiao Yi and Jiang Yicheng said together.
Jiang Yicheng didn't forget to add: "Actually, I often have such dreams, but I don't say it, this is where I am smarter than you!" ”
……
Finally, he knocked all the places that could be reached, and found no empty places, which made him feel very puzzled, it stands to reason that the fighters are usually installed on the stone wall, how can they not find it, is it because of their own negligence?
Again? Shame on you!
Ling Xiaotian had no choice but to turn to the old immortal and asked, "No, it's still not good, if it's only for myself here, I'll check it again, but not now!" You tell me, forget it this time, next time I will definitely rely on my own ability to complete it! ”
"You can check it again!" The old immortal said with a smile.
"No, you better tell me!" Ling Xiaotian said: "It's really not early, we have to hurry back!" ”
The old immortal sighed and said, "You are really a hundred secrets, just remember to look for it on the stone wall, can't you be in other places except on the stone wall?" ”
"Is it on top?" Ling Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the stone wall above.
"Clever and foolish!" The old immortal said, "Why have you forgotten your feet, can't you put the mechanism in the floor!" ”
"yes!" Ling Xiaotian suddenly realized, squatted down and continued to hit with the hammer.
Soon, he found a hollow place and said happily: "Zi Yan, I found it, hehe, it looks like we will be able to open the next entrance soon!" ”
Zi Yan felt very strange about Ling Xiaotian's ability to "rob tombs", but now was a critical moment, and it was inconvenient for her to ask.
Ling Xiaotian used a dagger to pry open a stone slab on the ground, because the ground was the same as the wall, it was difficult to find without inspection, but once it was found, it was difficult to hide.
This time, it was six stone pillars, Ling Xiaotian smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "Could it be that the builder of this temple is a lock-maker, why are the two organs all lock-pillars, the previous one was three, and this time it is six!" ”
Under the guidance of the old immortal, all the six lock pillars were smoothly pushed and pulled to the corresponding positions, and after a sound of "Titicaca", a stone door opened on the stone wall in front of him, revealing a long corridor that was very similar to the previous passage.
"Let's go!" Ling Xiaotian took Zi Yan's hand, and the two walked into the passage.
"Xiaotian, why don't you worry at all?" Zi Yan finally couldn't help but ask: "The mechanisms of the first two doors are so exquisite, it is impossible that there are no hidden weapons arranged inside, why have we been so smooth?" ”
Ling Xiaotian snorted and said: "There are indeed a lot of organs here, but for me, they are nothing, you just need to follow my footsteps!" ”
Through the second passage, finally arrived at the main hall, the space here is hundreds of square meters, the semi-circular dome is supported by ten levels and natural stone pillars, it seems very solid, Ling Xiaotian lit the torches on the stone wall one by one, illuminating the entire hall.
The enshrined platform is also carved out of stone, five meters long and one meter high, carved from a single stone, although it looks very rough, but compared with the stone walls and pillars here, it looks much more delicate.
There is a stone candlestick on the altar, and between the two candlesticks is a wooden box, and in front of the box is an incense burner, and the dust around it is obviously thicker than in other places, indicating that after the construction of this place, those people burned incense in the incense burner, and those obviously thicker dust are incense ashes.
Behind the altar are two tall statues of warriors, more than three meters tall, with rough lines, holding a five-meter-high halberd in their hands, and the image is majestic.
I had to admire the natural architecture here, Ling Xiaotian was completely impressed by the rough lines and beauty here!
The old immortal said: "Part of the God of War suit is here, you take out the hilt of the sword, you will know where it is!" ”
Damn, do you need to say this, it must be in the wooden box behind the incense burner, because the stone wall behind is engraved with the eight big characters of the position of the god of war Arias, since this is a temple dedicated to Arias, it says everything, this is also a mound of Arias, the so-called crown is naturally part of the god of war suit.
Ling Xiaotian bowed deeply to the altar, then picked up the wooden box and shook it, but there was no sound inside.
"Xiaotian, what are you doing here?" Zi Yan asked incomprehensibly.
"This is another part of the God of War suit!" Ling Xiaotian replied, "That's what I'm here for!" ”
"Got it!" Zi Yan nodded, glanced at the box in his hand, and said, "Do you know what is in here?" ”
"I don't know!" Ling Xiaotian shook his head, the old immortal didn't tell him which part it was, but he would know when he opened it.
Putting it back on the altar, Ling Xiaotian wanted to open the lid, only to find that the entire box did not have any gaps at all, as if it was carved from a single piece of wood, the carving was delicate, compared to the stone shape here, it was simply heaven and earth.
"Can't! Why don't you even have a keyhole! Ling Xiaotian looked at it carefully several times, but he didn't see any reason, and after shaking it hard, there was still no sound at all.
Zi Yan glanced at it a few times and said, "I think this box itself is a lock, you are right, the person who built the temple is a master who makes locks, and this box must also be from this person's hand!" ”
Ling Xiaotian said a little helplessly: "Then it's troublesome, I haven't studied such a subtle thing!" ”
Before the words fell, there was a tremor in the hall, Zi Yan quickly grabbed Ling Xiaotian's arm and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Ling Xiaotian quickly found the reason, it was not somewhere else, it was one of the two sergeant statues behind the enshrinement platform, and under the vibration of the statue, the entire hall also vibrate.
"Not good, boy!" The old immortal said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Things have changed, it is not an ordinary stone statue at all, but a giant stone monster sealed in the stone, get out of here quickly, otherwise the giant stone monster will destroy this place!" ”
Giant stone monster, what is it, Ling Xiaotian had never heard of this kind of thing, but when he saw Zi Yan's worried face, his heart was not good!
