Chapter 168 [Ghost Cherry Tree] (I)
Luo Lie therefore judged to look counterclockwise from the gold carved plate marked as one, from the first sentence, three bodies and four wisdom in one, the mystery may be between three and four, or it may be the sum of three numbers, Luo Lie thought about it, or the latter possibility was excluded, and came between three or four two engravings.
The two gold carved plates are tightly seamed, and even the sharp blades of the blades cannot be inserted, and from the outside, except for the surface decoration, there is no difference between them and other engravings.
Bai Yunfei vaguely guessed that this secret might be hidden behind the golden carved plate.
Luo Lie, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Do you think we can push these two doors open?"
Bai Yun flew over, his hands already resting on the golden carved plate: "How do you know if you don't try?"
The two of them each pressed against a gold carved plate, and at the same time, the engraving still did not move.
Bai Yunfei suggested that the engraving should be blown up, after all, they had brought plenty of ammunition this time. Luo Lie shook his head, his eyes fell on the twelve zodiac statues around the sarcophagus, the distribution of the twelve zodiac signs and the distribution of the carvings are different, but it is not difficult to find the corresponding carved zodiac in order, the corresponding three or four carved zodiac signs should be tigers and rabbits, Luo Lie came to the tiger head statue, hugged the statue and tried to turn counterclockwise, the statue did not move, he asked Bai Yunfei and himself to rotate the rabbit head statue at the same time.
The two of them exerted force at the same time, and to their surprise, under the simultaneous force of the two, the two idols actually began to move slowly, which proved that there was a mechanism connection between the lower parts of the two idols, and it was impossible for anyone who wanted to move a god statue alone, and they had to rotate at the same time to activate the hidden mechanism.
With the movement of the idol, the gold carved plates on the opposite side made a creaking sound, and the three or four gold carved plates that they had been unable to push with all their strength just now began to slowly fall downward, and after the two idols rotated counterclockwise in place for three weeks, the two gold carved plates also completely fell to the ground. A circular hole in the rear is exposed. Blue light loomed in the entrance of the cave, and although they had not yet entered the hole, they could already feel the cold air diffusing from it.
Luo Lie walked towards the entrance of the cave, but as soon as he took a step, Bai Yunfei grabbed his arm and reminded him, "It's too late to regret it now." β
Adventure is regarded by many people as the greatest pleasure in life, but the successive adventures, and the adventure of taking one's own life as a bet is a great test of the heart, Bai Yunfei has already begun to weigh the pros and cons in his heart, and he even began to regret agreeing to Mu Sanshou's conditions, the complexity and risk of this trip have far exceeded his imagination.
Luo Lie smiled: "It's too late to regret it." β
Bai Yunfei let go of Luo Lie's arm, and watched him walk into the hole glowing with blue glow, and quickly made up his mind after a short hesitation.
Before Luo Lie entered the cave, he had already guessed that the items hidden inside were far more important than the sarcophagus outside, although a lot of gold coins and the priceless ruby were found in the sarcophagus, but the warrior lying in the sarcophagus should not be the real owner of the mercury cave.
Nine times out of ten, his identity is the same as the twelve zodiac idols that surround the sarcophagus, and he is nothing more than a funerary object for the true owner. Usually when a tomb robber discovers the sarcophagus, he stops and gives up exploring it because of the wealth it contains.
However, there is also a place that Luo Hunt is puzzled by, the sarcophagus has obviously been moved or even opened before, judging from the scene just seen, the gold coins in the sarcophagus should not have been passive, and even the ruby was left in the sarcophagus, according to common sense, it is likely that the scepter was first collected in the sarcophagus, the tomb robber took the scepter, but the ruby was lost in it, this seems to be inexplicable, although the scepter is exquisite, but the most valuable thing on the entire scepter is this ruby, is this tomb robber also a buyer of pearlsοΌ
After the death of the gopher, the scepter fell into Luo Hunt's hands, and together with the ruby found earlier, the King Arthurian scepter was finally combined. This treasure was not mentioned in the information Lan Ximei gave him, and it was probably just one of the treasures hidden in this strange underground palace.
King Arthur himself is nothing more than an unconfirmed legend, and perhaps the account of the scepter may not be true.
Bai Yunfei kept up with Luo Lie's footsteps, the flashlight in his hand kept shining around, and as their progress deepened, Bai Yunfei became more and more alert and cautious.
Luo Lie sensed the tension in his heart, and took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry, there should be no other people here." β
The corners of Bai Yunfei's lips flashed with a wry smile, when did he also show his cowardice in front of outsiders in the past, and fell to the point of comforting others, he laughed at himself: "It's not people who are afraid. Bai Yunfei didn't lie, it wasn't people who scared him now, during the time he entered the underground of the Old Summer Palace, he had already witnessed too many creatures beyond imagination, and his heart was full of fear of the unknown world.
Luo Lie said: "In fact, the most terrible thing in this world is the human heart. β
Bai Yunfei nodded, and then laughed again, Luo Lie said well, he is not even afraid of the sinister rivers and lakes of licking blood with a knife, why should he be afraid of some strange creatures? The big deal is nothing more than death, death is not terrible, what is terrible is that it will become a gopher that is dead but not stiff.
Bai Yunfei secretly took a breath, and when he turned to Luo Lie, he found that Luo Lie had taken off his gas mask, and the faint blue light in the cave outlined the resolute outline of his face.
Although the air in the cave is very cold but fresh, Luo Lie intuitively judged that there is no mercury vapor here, although his judgment lacks scientific basis, but he is more and more confident in his feelings, Luo Lie stretched his arms, then took off his gloves, reached out and touched the cave wall, the stone wall is very cold, there is a blue shimmer on it, and the light should be some kind of bryophytes that live underground, when Luo Lie made this judgment, a word appeared in his mind- Netherweed, he was sure he hadn't thought about it, a term he hadn't even seen before, so it naturally came to mind.
At first, Luo Lie thought it was a word that flashed to him, but then a series of associations appeared in his mind, the outline, habits, growth cycle, growth environment, and genetic mode of Netheralgae...... Messages flashed back in Luo Lie's mind, Luo Lie was completely sure that he was not a botanical expert, and he had never read a book on this in the past, and the only possible explanation was the seed of wisdom that his father planted in his body.
While changing his physique, he also unconsciously changed his brain power, and infiltrated a large amount of knowledge into his brain silently.
Bai Yunfei reminded Luo Lie: "Don't touch it, it may be poisonous." β
Luo Lie shook his head, Nether Algae is not poisonous. They continued to walk forward, Bai Yunfei saw that Luo Lie was no different after taking off the gas mask, so he had the courage to take off the mask, carefully inhaled the cold air, but saw clusters of pink light floating in their direction in front of them.
Bai Yunfei's eyes widened, and he had the urge to put the gas mask on his head immediately, but seeing that Luo Lie beside him was still calm, he immediately relieved his heart, his fear came from the unknown of living things, and Luo Lie's knowledge in this area was obviously much richer than his.
Luo Lie said softly: "Ghost cherry blossoms, an underground spore plant, do not have any harm, their habits like to be cold and cold, and they will take the initiative to avoid living creatures. Luo Lie didn't tell Bai Yunfei the source of his knowledge, he strode into the ghost cherry blossom bush like falling rain, and sure enough, the ghost cherry blossoms floating in the air quickly dodged to both sides, forming a pink arch around Luo Lie's body.
Bai Yunfei hurriedly quickened his pace, for fear of being left behind by Luo Lie, at this moment he was already convinced of Luo Lie, although Luo Hunt was younger than himself, but Luo Lie's calmness and composure even surpassed himself, and all this was due to Luo Lie's rich knowledge and experience.
Bai Yunfei couldn't help but think of Luo Hunt's experience of studying in the United States, the ancients traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books, it seems that it really makes sense, life experience is more important than the knowledge in books.
The ghost cherry tree is a plant that grows underground, with a well-developed root system, a trunk as black as ink, and a rock symbiosis.
At the same time that the information of the ghost cherry tree appeared in Luo Lie's mind, a huge tree had already appeared in his field of vision, to be exact, this was just some kind of strange plant growing underground, the whole body was pitch black, and the trunk was not round, but flat on the rock, like a skin spread out on the rock, the middle was narrow, but the width was also two meters, but it expanded rapidly up and down, looking from afar, it looked like a girdle giant standing close to the rock wall.
The roots are rooted in the rock formation, and the branches stretch upward, like a giant umbrella, extending to the top of the cave, crisscrossing like a large black net, in this large net, countless ghost cherry trees are attached to it, and the light is flickering, in fact, the ghost cherry trees and the ghost cherry trees are not one, and there is a kind of parasitic relationship between them.
Luo Lie came to the ghost cherry tree, reached out and pressed on the black trunk, the trunk was elastic, and after pressing down, a dimple appeared, and then quickly rebounded back to restore its original shape.
Bai Yunfei had never seen such a strange tree species, and when he looked around, the hole in the ground had come to an end, and there was no way ahead.
Luo Lie pulled out the palm knife from his waist, and the sharp blade pressed against the trunk of the ghost cherry tree, trying to cut the trunk open, and when he pressed it down with his finger just now, he had already found that there was a hole behind the trunk of the ghost cherry tree.
The sharp blade couldn't penetrate the tough tree trunk after several attempts, Luo Lie took out the flying knife forged by Di Xuanjing with the idea of trying it, but he didn't expect that this time the choice was extremely correct, the flying knife easily pierced the trunk, Luo Lie made a long opening in the trunk longitudinally, and the thickness of the trunk was only half an inch. Bai Yunfei and Luo Lie forcefully separated the rift left and right at the same time, and looked into it with the beam of the flashlight, but saw that there was indeed a hole hidden behind the ghost cherry tree, this hole was not deep, only about three meters deep, and a dead body was sitting cross-legged in the cave, and a safe was placed beside him.
