Chapter 262: The Proposition of the Hall of Eternal Life
With the strength of Xu Tianchuan and Xing Chang alone, facing the huge rock slab in front of them, it was like an ant trying to shake the gap between an elephant.
"Isn't his grandmother's gravity much lightened underwater?"
Xu Tianchuan scolded in his heart, because this rock slab is tilted on top of the bronze tripod, there should be no water pressure problem.
That's really hard.
If you really can't move it, then you can't see the proposition written on the bronze tripod.
And the above proposition is very important for Xu Tianchuan.
He went around and around for the secret of the Hall of Eternal Life, and at this time the secret was hidden underneath.
The torturer next to him held his breath, shook his head helplessly at Xu Tianchuan, and then gestured with his finger around.
Xu Tianchuan knew what Xing Chang wanted to express.
This towering sacrificial temple should have collapsed naturally and was not particularly badly damaged, so the wreckage after the collapse was very huge, and it was impossible to clean up the ruins with the strength of only two people.
So give up?
Absolutely not!
This is not Xu Tianchuan's persistence and stubbornness, but about life and death!
Xu Tianchuan thought for a moment, then took out the Youtian Sword and slashed it the rock slab.
Perhaps the slab has been soaked underwater for thousands of years and will soften to some extent.
Keng ......
When the Heavenly Sword slashed hard, a surge was generated with the arc of the Heavenly Sword, and there was a slight muffled sound of 'clanging'.
But if you look at the rock slabs, there is not even the slightest trace!
Even if the strength will be reduced by about half because of the underwater power, but with the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword, it won't be like this, right?
This rock slab is a single piece of rock that has been cut out of the mountain, and it is not only large, but also very thick.
In a society nearly 4,000 years ago, how did it do without any technology or single manpower?
In the words of some archaeologists, it is: "Miracle of mankind, miracle of ancient civilization......"
Violence can't be done, and destruction can't be destroyed.
At this time, Xu Tianchuan actually missed Jiao San a little bit, if Jiao San was there, there was no doubt that he would be blasted with explosives.
No! This is underwater, and even if the gunpowder fuse of Jiao San's belt is waterproof, it is impossible for an open flame to ignite it.
At this moment, the female ghost not far in front of her floated over with a white figure, and then pointed to the ruins on the other side of the bronze tripod, and made a gesture, as if she was signing to Xu Tianchuan.
Although Xu Tianchuan didn't know sign language, he immediately understood what the gesture she made meant.
There is only a huge bluestone slab leaning on the bronze tripod, although other places are also very large rock blocks, but there are also small pieces, although these are not directly covered on the bronze tripod, and even it does not seem to have much direct relationship with the bronze tripod, but if you dig down from another angle from other places, it will inevitably cause the second collapse of the bronze tripod, maybe it will collapse naturally!
"Yes, why didn't you think of such a simple method?"
It seems that this female ghost is not only in the state of a revenant, but also retains her intelligence and consciousness.
At the same time, Xing Chang also understood the meaning of the female ghost gesture, and with Xu Tianchuan's nod of approval, he immediately changed directions, took out two Luoyang shovels, and used the principle of a crowbar to pry out some of the smaller gravel below.
Although this method is more time-consuming, it does have a certain effect, and it must also have the spirit of moving mountains.
Xu Tianchuan must have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, but he doesn't have the time for Yugong to move mountains......
After about half an hour of excavation and cleaning, there was still no particularly noticeable effect.
Xu Tianchuan estimated that if at this speed and progress, if he wanted to hollow out the bottom and let the bronze tripod roll down from the ruins by itself, it was not impossible at all, but it would take at least a day.
Obviously, a day is definitely not going to work.
Gollum......
Just when Xu Tianchuan was anxious about this, the Xing Chang next to him didn't know which rock he moved, and the ruins in front of him suddenly collapsed in a large area, and some rocks rolled down from the ruins, so that the huge bronze tripod also turned over and rolled down.
"There is hope!"
Xu Tianchuan was immediately overjoyed.
But I was just happy for a moment.
Although the area of the collapse is large, the huge rock slab that was originally tilted on the bronze tripod is directly covered on the bronze tripod, although there is a large area of downward collapse, but there is no ideal effect that Xu Tianchuan expected, but the inclined rock slab is pressed on the top, which produces water pressure, and then want to pry it up, it is even more difficult.
Xing Chang looked at the scene in front of him, turned his head to look at Xu Tianchuan again, and frowned deeply to express helplessness and shame.
Of course, Xu Tianchuan didn't mean to blame Xing Chang, I'm afraid it was providential......
No!
It should be a good intention!
Xu Tianchuan found that after the collapse just now, there was a gap on the side of the bronze tripod, which was a gap caused by some smaller rocks sandwiched in the middle, which was almost more than a meter wide, and the bottom of the bronze tripod was just enough for the human body to drill down from the gap.
The most important thing is that this side is still the one that I didn't see just now.
Xu Tianchuan immediately gestured at Xing Chang in surprise, and then cautiously drilled down through this gap.
As Xu Tianchuan imagined, this side of the bronze tripod also has Zhong Dingwen, and what is recorded is indeed a proposition!
As I said before, the proposition is to ask about divination, which is what Xu Tianchuan is most concerned about and wants to know.
Xu Tianchuan relied on his night vision eyes to carefully study and decipher the Zhong Dingwen on the side of the bronze tripod.
Xing Chang waited anxiously above, and at the same time, he shone the miner's light pillar on his forehead on the bronze tripod as much as possible, which helped Xu Tianchuan to look more carefully.
As for the content on this bronze tripod, it is indeed a proposition, and it also verifies Xu Tianchuan's previous guess.
The owner of this ancient tomb, Ji Yao, already knew the location of the Hall of Eternal Life before this sacrifice, but he didn't dare to enter it, so there was this huge sacrifice divination.
I know the location of the Hall of Eternal Life, but I don't dare to enter it?
This is like the embarrassing situation that happened to some tomb robbers, although they coveted a lot of wealth in the ancient tomb, but they also knew that the ancient tomb was extremely dangerous, and it was very likely that after entering it, it would be nine deaths, even if there was more wealth, there was no life to enjoy, so they could only be anxious and staring! You can't get it if you want it......
If you look at it from this point alone, this Hall of Eternal Life is definitely not a good type.
Because what kind of person was the high priest of the Shang Dynasty?
Xu Tianchuan has always believed that the peak period of Qimen gossip was in ancient times, so this high priest Ji Yao was definitely a master at the 'power' level at that time!
This kind of character does not dare to enter the Hall of Eternal Life, and he has to rely on sacrifice and divination to find out how to enter, so the danger of this Hall of Eternal Life can be imagined.
As for what kind of danger the Hall of Eternal Life has, so that the high priest does not dare to enter it easily.
Judging from the content of the proposition above, there are indeed detailed records.
And there's more than one thing asked!
First of all, the first sentence of the proposition asks: "There is a netherworld fire at the gate of the Palace of Eternal Life, and the soul of the person who steps into it is burned by it, how can it be broken?" ”
Then he asked: "The first hall is guarded by the slave of eternal life, and it is invulnerable to fire and water, and it is invulnerable, how to drive it away." ”
Then there is a third question: "Is there a ...... in the second temple?"
What's in the second temple?
The rest of the text is gone, buried under the rubble.
Depend on!
If it weren't for the conditions, Xu Tianchuan would have had the urge to spit and go up, and he saw that the most critical moment was actually broken!
There must be much more to the follow-up than these three questions.
This also greatly aroused Xu Tianchuan's curiosity about the Palace of Eternal Life!
At the very least, it is certain that yes, the Hall of Eternal Life really exists.
And judging from the things to be asked by this proposition, the Hall of Eternal Life has unimaginable dangers, and there is more than one hall, it is composed of many halls, including the first hall, the second hall, and even the third and fourth halls.
This is very much like the layout of an ancient tomb, with an ear chamber, a front room, a back room, and a main room.
After reading the entire content about the Palace of Eternal Life, Xu Tianchuan thinks that this is very necessary and a very critical thing!
But the content behind all is pressed under the ruins, only the bronze tripod is completely turned over, can see the content, but on top of a huge rock slab, even on the ground, to remove it, it is also a very difficult thing, not to mention that it is still twenty or thirty meters deep under the water, there is a strong water pressure.
Then we have to think of other ways.
Xu Tianchuan swam up again.
Xing Chang, who had been waiting on it for a long time, saw Xu Tianchuan swim up, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull it.
After Xu Tianchuan came up, Xing Chang immediately made a gesture and asked Xu Tianchuan about the situation below.
Xu Tianchuan shook his head, and also gestured with his hand, indicating that he had to completely turn over the bronze tripod below in order to completely see what he wanted.
It seems that this is another stalemate.
And at this moment, the female ghost not far away once again swayed with a white shadow and floated over, continuously gesturing with her hands.
"Could it be that this female ghost has thought of something good to pay attention to?"
Xu Tianchuan frowned slightly, this female ghost's IQ seems to be very high!
Or were ancient people smarter than modern people?
Wrong!
Something is wrong!
Xu Tianchuan looked at the expression on the female ghost's face again, obviously with a panicked and frightened look, not as if he had another good idea.
But it made Xu Tianchuan feel an extremely ominous premonition!
If you look closely at the female ghost's non-stop gestures, the main thing is to point to the left, and then make a hideous expression with a wide mouth.
Xu Tianchuan immediately frowned and looked to the left where the female ghost was pointing.
At the same time, Xing Chang also turned his head and shone the lamppost of the miner's lamp.
There is nothing particularly unusual about the dark underwater, it is very calm, and there is a kind of dead silence.
That is, at the moment when Xu Tianchuan was about to retract his gaze, suddenly two red dots like red lanterns appeared under the dark water!
No!
It wasn't a red dot, it was a pair of blood-red eyes.
Although he didn't see anything, with this pair of blood-red eyes alone, Xu Tianchuan had already seen vicious, murderous, and angry eyes!
In addition, this look actually made Xu Tianchuan feel very familiar, what fish under the water would have red eyes, and they also had such vicious eyes.
Apparently absolutely nothing, this is no ordinary underwater creature.
Ominous!
The crisis is approaching you!
At this time, Xu Tianchuan also felt the change in the surrounding water flow, and a powerful surge was following that pair of blood-red eyes, so it can be concluded that the volume of this ghost thing is very large!
Run!
If you don't run at this time, it is undoubtedly equivalent to waiting for death!
There is no ability to resist or resist under this water.
But where to run?
A gap below is a good place to take refuge.
Xu Tianchuan immediately reached out and pressed Xing Chang's shoulder, signaling for Xing Chang to go down first.
At this critical moment, Xing Chang naturally did not give in to the order, and immediately dived into the gap between the rock and the bronze tripod.
At this moment, the red eyes with a huge figure appeared within the range of Xu Tianchuan's field of vision!
It's an old acquaintance!
It's the devil who looked like a baby fish who had a fight on the surface of the Ru River, and was escaped again!
It's no wonder that just looking at it feels familiar.
At this time, this devil seemed to know Xu Tianchuan too, and seemed to be quite resentful, so he opened his mouth wide at Xu Tianchuan directly, swaying his huge body underwater, like a huge deep-water nuclear bomb, rushing towards Xu Tianchuan, and there was a sense of hatred that he wanted to bite Xu Tianchuan in his mouth and chew it to smash and swallow it.
Xu Tianchuan didn't panic too much, and when the devil rushed over, he immediately turned around and dived into the crack of the rock.
Rumble!
The devil's head slammed into the rock above, making a muffled thud.
But fortunately, the size of the rock was large enough, and there was no noticeable reaction to the violent impact.
Looking at such a fierce devil, Xu Tianchuan secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It's good that I made such a narrow gap under the toss just now, otherwise, in the huge mouth of this devil, it would definitely be death, and there is no suspense!" ”
In fact, this is what Xu Tianchuan is most worried about, but he didn't expect it to work, he was really afraid of something!
The later Xing Chang also had an ugly face, and he felt a sense of being lucky to escape.
But from a certain point of view, the current situation is not an escape, but a temporary evasion.
Because I don't have a lot of time, even if this rock gap is hard enough, if this devil has been spending it outside, even if he is not eaten by this devil, then the final outcome will definitely be drowned......
