Chapter 441: Chu Si
Ling Xiaozi saw that look in his eyes and understood, and the whole person fell behind.
With gloves on his hands, when everyone had entered, he carefully picked up the ivory cup and put it in his backpack.
Everything is business as usual around.
"Sure enough...... The surnamed Jiang is right, this ivory cup and these organs are not one. With thoughtfulness in his eyes, his eyes looked around, and he walked forward quickly, chasing the steps of Jiang Xian and the others.
Moments after he left, there was still silence in the empty area, and there seemed to be nothing but the sound of water.
With a loud rumbling sound, the entrance door fell, and the underwater entrance closed, and everything seemed to return to its previous state.
……………………………………
The old man stood in front of the gate, his eyes fell on Carl, and the eyes of the rest of the people fell on the old man of the knife.
“…… Isn't the old man going in? The corners of Carl's eyes twitched twice and he looked at the door, "How do we get in?" ”
"I don't know." The old man said this sentence with a calm face, which made the eyelids of everyone present twitch a few times: "I'm not proficient in organs, this kind of thing, it still depends on Mr. Carl, you professionals." ”
Then what you said before is so sonorous and powerful!
A few people muttered in their hearts, the posture just now, I thought that this old man already had a way.
Carl also calmed down, his eyes fell on the gate, on the stone walls on both sides, and on the statues, and on the lights.
The cold wind blew, the lights danced, and the icy chill made people shiver, and the lights also swayed, flickering in the passage.
The extended shadows flickered wildly, like ghosts wandering in the dark, in the ...... Staring at them.
Everyone followed and looked around, somehow, after a few glances, they felt a chill in their hearts, and the whole person couldn't help but take half a step back, and an inexplicable tremor rose from the bottom of their hearts, as if some terrifying existence was staring at them, preparing to eat them.
"That's not right...... I didn't feel that way before. Abel muttered to himself, his still intact arms raised, covered his chest, took two big breaths, and was just about to continue to look around, when Karl's voice came:
"Don't look at those lights, remember the previous Stone Temple?"
Messy Stone Temple?
Abel was stunned for a moment, then immediately closed his eyes and began to take a deep breath to calm his nervous mood.
"Don't look at it, everybody." Karl's voice was calm, without the slightest fluster: "Some little tricks, with the arrangement of space and color orientation, to induce people's sight and spirit, so that fear breeds. ”
"It's not very common, but in some ancient secret places, there are similar arrangements."
"Fear often brings panic, it makes people unable to calm down and make wrong judgments."
After a few simple words, the people who were still afraid suddenly felt that their hearts were settled a lot, and they turned around, not looking at the messy lights behind them, but staring at the door in front of them, and their emotions gradually recovered as before.
"The ancients also understood psychology?"
Third Uncle Dao came back to his senses and said with some surprise.
"Of course, it's just that they don't divide the subject. But psychological cues, contact with the surrounding environment to increase stress, these means abound. ”
The old man squinted his eyes and said: "Not to mention much, just the layout of the palace when the emperor went to court, showing the majesty of the emperor or something, is a simple psychology." There are also means of suppressing and co-opting, and controlling people...... From ancient times to the present day, this simple psychological method has infiltrated every aspect. ”
"But like the arrangement here, people continue to feel fear from their hearts after seeing it, I'm afraid there aren't many in the whole world, right?"
"Even in modern times, this is the best level......
"Yes." Carl said calmly: "This kind of emotional amplification and constant fear in people's hearts is also the best in modern times. ”
As he spoke, his eyes did not look at the crowd, but at the door to the left and right and in front of him.
Spirits, prayers, sacrifices, and ......
The surrounding layout and scenery intersected and circulated in his mind, constantly changing, although he could not fully see what the layout of this place was, but he already had a certain amount of conjecture and thinking.
"If it's a renovation carried out by Zhuang Ji and others......"
"This should be in line with the myth of Chudi."
"The East Monarch of the Sun, the Thunder and Mist of the Clouds, the Mountain Ghost ...... Hidden in the Mountains and Forests"
His gaze fell from the door and looked at the crowd: "I think, I have found a way to open the door, everyone back down first." ”
After saying that, he retreated fifteen meters in front of the door, and when everyone came, he put on his gloves, looked at the walls on the left and right, looked at the gate again, and walked forward. I came back to the gate more than ten meters high.
The palm of the hand touches the lines below, which are the lines of the river.
In the lines of the river, other images faintly emerge.
The sun and the moon, the clouds and rain, the thunder.
With the palm of Karl's hand, the sun, clouds, and mountains reflected in the river ...... It was pressed in turn, and the next moment there was a sudden popping sound around it.
The walls were shaking, the ground was shaking, and in an instant, dense spikes bulged from the ground and poked upwards. In the next moment, holes were revealed in the walls on both sides, and columns of pure water suddenly gushed out, covering the open space of more than ten meters behind Carl in an instant.
Then the roar resumed, and the spikes of the depths shrank sharply, and the washed-up water fell down the hole.
In a matter of seconds, everything was calm again, leaving only the wet ground, still showing what had happened here.
The old man's eyes narrowed, and the few people next to him also took a deep breath.
It's too fast...... Those spikes and the water are flowing too fast.
If it wasn't that they were more than ten meters away from the gate, but were still in the position just now, I'm afraid they would have become hedgehogs at this time, right?
And, who are those who squirt......
With her nose twitching slightly, Miss Li squatted down and looked carefully at the water stains on the ground, her heart slightly chilling.
Those jets of water are poisonous!
"It's so heavy and murderous...... the old man sighed with emotion: "Spikes, water columns...... Although it is a simple arrangement, if you don't find it, in this space of more than ten meters, I'm afraid that no one can survive except for the person who opened the door, right? ”
"It's still when the door is opened correctly."
As his voice fell, the door in front of him shook, and a creaking sound came from there, opening in both directions.
Karl's body immediately stepped back, and as the door opened, a stale smell came out of it, and smoke swept in.
When the smoke cleared, Carl turned his head and said to a few people: "There should be no problem, let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
"Mr. Karl, you didn't just look at the reflection of the moon, did you?" Miss Li suddenly spoke: "The reflection of the sun and the moon is the most obvious among the water lines below, and I saw it very clearly just now. ”
"That's right."
Carl turned his head with a smile and said, "If you press the reflection of the moon, I'm afraid it won't be like this for more than ten meters, I'm afraid that the entire passage will become dangerous." ”
"Chudi, there is a moon and no moon god."
"This can be seen in Qu Yuan's heavenly question."
As he spoke, he looked left and right and said, "If the person who came in was really a person who knew nothing about Chu Di and guessed that the mechanism was related to the gods, he would only die even worse." ”
"That's right......" The old man nodded his head: "Many of the arrangements of the ancients are like this, if you don't understand it, many ways of life will turn into dead ends, especially in this kind of place that has existed for thousands of years and hides countless treasures and myths." ”
"Let's go, let's uncover the secrets."
……………………………………
"The stone door closes ......"
Professor Zhao heard the vibration behind him and stroked his beard: "We didn't touch the closed mechanism, and it didn't take three minutes from the time we came in to the time the stone gate closed. It seems that this road is not the path for large forces to enter. ”
"Oh?"
Zhuang Yushan next to him showed a hint of surprise, looked at Professor Zhao and said, "Big army? How did you come up with the idea of a large army entering? ”
"The project here, the construction ...... here," Professor Zhao followed behind Jiang Xian and the others, looking at the smooth roads left and right, and said: "Not to mention more, just this wall and floor covered with slate and stone bricks will cost a lot of manpower." ”
"What's more...... If the speculation is true, this place is a place to worship the gods in ancient times, and a large number of people must gather here to worship at important times. ”
"Since the mechanism is automatically closed, or such a short interval of time, it means that this is a special passage, or a passage specially prepared for the leaders and nobles at the time."
"Of course...... It's also possible that too much time has passed, and some parts of the mechanism have failed. ”
Professor Zhao said, looked at a few people and smiled: "I'll just talk about it, you can just listen to it." ”
Whatever you want?
Jiang Xian and Lin Ruoxue glanced at each other, this can't be said casually.
"If what you said is true...... Zhuang Yuliang's gaze fell on Professor Zhao, and then turned to the surrounding walls and ground: "Then isn't this road we are taking the safest, most stable, and easiest road?" ”
"No ......"
Jiang Xian thought back to the map he saw on the ivory cup, thought of the intricate route on it, and slowly spoke: "First of all, thousands of years have passed, and it has been almost two thousand years since the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared. ”
"The roads that were safe were not necessarily safe now."
"Not to mention ......"
"Who said that the path taken by the chiefs and nobles would be safer and easier?"
"Don't forget our previous speculation...... They are there to worship the gods. ”
"And in the legends and myths that have always been associated with the gods, there is a step in wanting to meet the gods......"
"Predicament, grinding, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers......" He turned his head to look at the three brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family: "Maybe the nobles who took this road back then, they walked more easily, because they knew this place, and knew the layout and changes here." ”
"There is preparation and response."
"But we really have to face the 'grinding of the gods'."
