Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Main Tomb Takes the Flag and Encounters a Strong Enemy
Boarding the cableway car again, Shi Di's feeling is much better than the previous time, the last time he slid forward quickly in the iron cage, there was not even a place to block the wind, the yin wind in the mausoleum blew him goosebumps, this time it was like sitting in a luxury sightseeing cable car, not only did not blow a little yin wind, but you can also set up the window of the cableway car to enjoy the special scene inside the mausoleum.
Although I don't know what dangers lie ahead, I still feel a little comfortable in my heart at this time.
With this comfort, the ropeway car had already slid to the end and stopped at a stone platform, Shi Di saw the ropeway car stop, opened the wooden door at the other end of the body, and walked out, while the winged evil dragon and the others hovered near the platform, waiting for him to investigate the situation.
Shi Di took out the four flags and took a look, and found that the golden light on them had begun to flash rapidly, which showed that they were very close to the Wuji Xinghuang Banner, it seemed that even if they were not the main tomb of the Seventy-two Doubtful Tombs, it was also the place where the Wuji Xinghuang Banner was stored, and this trip was the right one.
Putting away the four flags, Shi Di began to explore the environment here.
There is nothing special about this platform, there are no traps or traps, except that there are four humanoid statues in different postures near the edge, all of them are ordinary statues, and there is no mystery in them. It seems that this ropeway car is indeed prepared for the owner of the mausoleum, so naturally there is no cat on the road that the owner of the mausoleum must pass.
The platform is supposed to be connected to some huge space, but there is a stone wall blocking that space, and the stone wall is about fifty paces away from the edge of the platform, and there is a delicately shaped stone door facing the stone wall where Shi Di walked down the ropeway.
There are three beast faces carved side by side above the stone door, which is the kind of totem that Shi Di has seen on the wooden bridge, and the door on both sides is carved with a snake but not a snake, its body is the body of a snake, but the head is a bull's head, these two snake-like beasts are opposite each other, forming a symmetrical pattern.
Shi Di tried to push the stone door, but the stone door did not move, it seems that although there are no traps arranged along the way, the main tomb is not so easy to enter, and he still needs to find the key that can open this stone door, but he has already explored all the surroundings, and he has not found a single mechanism, and there is no spiritual power lock that he is familiar with, how to get in.
"Shi Di, why don't I just split that door!"
Ke Meng saw Shi Di standing in front of Shimen and pondered, and shouted to him, Bacheng had just obtained the fifth-order superior strength level, and he had never found a chance to perform, and his hands were itching at this moment.
Shi Di turned around, signaled that the two-winged evil dragon could come up, and replied.
"Don't act rashly, inside the door is very likely to be the main tomb of the seventy-two doubtful graves, the main tomb is often the place where the body of the owner of the mausoleum is stored, in order to prevent their remains from being desecrated, many main tombs are set up with a self-destruction mechanism, once someone forcibly breaks in, I am afraid that a large number of mechanisms will be triggered, and even destroy the entire tomb. The yellow flag is inside, and if we want to get this last flag, we must find the right way to open this door. ”
Everyone walked onto the platform and began to look for a way to open the stone door with Shi Di, but it was also evil, there was no mechanism here, and there was no keyhole on the stone door, how did the owner of the mausoleum enter it?
If there is anything unusual about the platform, it is probably four humanoid statues, but no matter how Shi Di observes, these four statues are just ordinary stone sculptures, not even a single movable part, and the chassis is also rigidly connected to the stone platform, which can neither rotate nor pull up or down, and it is indeed impossible to find any way to use them to open the stone door.
There is a possibility that the four statues are placed outside the main tomb for no reason, but most people will choose the image of a mythical beast to make a statue, but I have never seen a humanoid statue to ward off evil spirits. Although it is still impossible to see the connection between these statues and the stone gate, his intuition has told Shi Di that the way to open the stone door is on the statue.
Shi Di stood in front of one of the statues and thought for a long time, but his mind was like a mess and couldn't find clues, with his mastery of the "Perfect Thief's Essential Book", no matter how difficult the lock is, it should be easy to open, even if it can't be unlocked for a while, it won't be like now, how to open the stone door through these statues......
Not far away, the night pearl on the ropeway car emitted a bright and soft light, dyeing Shi Di's contemplative figure frost white.
Here Shi Di was thinking hard about how to open the stone door, but there were two restless guys over there who couldn't bear the loneliness and fought with each other, this time it was not Helen and Ida who were unruly, in fact, since the two of them were revealed as Asmodeus's eyeliner, they have been much more honest, and they are obediently standing behind Shi Di at this time waiting for him to figure out a way.
This time it was Xiao Bai Ze and Gu Ci's turtle who were unruly, the reason was that Xiao Bai Ze was naughty, and with the light emitted by the night pearl, he used the shadow he projected on the stone wall to pose as a painful turtle, and he was immediately discovered by the turtle, so the turtle also learned from Xiao Bai Ze's appearance, and used the shadow to bite off Xiao Bai Ze's head, which annoyed Xiao Bai Ze and quickly fought back.
So, I only saw the shadow of a winged fawn and a huge turtle on the stone wall, and I made a mess with a slap, and Ta Mo saw that the shadows of the two beasts dangling made people dizzy, and couldn't help but open his mouth to stop it.
"Xiao Bai Ze, when is it, it's still noisy, don't bother Shi Di to find a mechanism. ”
Gu Ci was heartless, watching it with relish from the sidelines, and waving his flag and shouting for his turtle.
"Turtle to the left! Beautiful! Hey, bow your head and dodge this and that blow! Great, worthy of my good turtle!"
Shi Di's gaze also fell on the shadows of Xiao Bai Ze and the turtle, as if he remembered something, staring at the two shadows.
Shadow...... Action...... Could it be......
Shi Di turned his gaze back to the statues, he felt that he had finally found a way to unlock the lock, and the mystery was in the shadow of these statues.
Shi Di ordered the others to return to the back of the two-winged evil dragon, standing beside the first statue, imitating its movements, squatting down with the weight of the whole body on the right leg, the left leg straightened, and at the same time raising the right hand above the head and sprinting to the left, the head also turned to the left, only to see a miniature shadow exactly the same shape as the statue appear on the stone wall.
After a while, I saw that Shi Di's shadow changed, and a white edge was drawn along the outline of the periphery. Sure enough, the mechanism here was opened in this form. It's just that this mysterious change is neither created by spiritual power nor caused by the beast soul, I am afraid that it is caused by some secret method in the primeval period, and it is no wonder that Shi Di has never learned it from the "Perfect Thief Essential Book".
Seeing that his behavior worked, Shi Di walked to the side of the remaining three statues and posed in the same posture as these three statues, so that his shadow painted a white edge on the stone wall.
Finally, when his shadow remained on the stone wall for the fourth time, the mechanism was lifted.
Boom Boom
The left and right stone doors separated from the middle, submerged into the grooves embedded in the stone wall, and the stone doors opened.
The crowd on the two-winged evil dragon couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers when they saw that the stone gate was successfully opened, knowing that they had been stuck near this platform for more than two hours, and now they could finally enter the stone gate to take the Wuji apricot yellow flag, and hurriedly boarded the platform and followed behind Shi Di.
It's still the old rule, Shi Di took the lead, he raised his foot and was about to step into the stone door, only to hear a low voice.
"Greetings-Greeting-Lord-People-"
Shi Di was shocked, according to legend, the seventy-two doubtful tombs are a group of mausoleums established in the ancient period, how many years ago is the history, even scholars can't figure it out, I can't imagine that there can be living creatures here?!
It didn't sound like a human being, what kind of creature could have been here for so long? It had just called itself its master, and had it mistaken itself for the owner of the mausoleum?
Although there are many uncertainties in my heart, the Yellow Flag of Wuji Apricot is already close at hand, and now I can only walk in first and then improvise according to the situation.
Shi Di did not hesitate, and walked directly into the stone door, and a tomb appeared in front of him.
Over here...... It's a bit too simple.
The space of the burial chamber was pitifully small, probably no more than 150 cubic meters, and there was a lonely sarcophagus in the middle, but there was nothing else, and there were no burial goods to be seen, and it was not known what the sound they had just heard was coming from.
To say that this is the tomb of an ordinary rich and noble family is too shabby, let alone the tomb of the emperor.
Is there something wrong, or is this not the main tomb at all, but the tomb of an unknown person?
Shi Di couldn't help but take out the four flags, wanting to determine whether the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag was in it, but saw that the golden light emitted from the four flags was close to the frequency of non-stopping, and it seemed that the last flag was in it.
The only possibility is in the sarcophagus.
Shi Di glanced at the sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb, and when he walked in front of it, he saw an ochre-colored flag floating out of the sarcophagus.
Sure enough, it was inside the sarcophagus!
Shi Di was about to reach out to take the apricot yellow flag, but the low voice that he had ignored sounded again.
"No, this smell is not the master at all, who are you who dare to trespass into the master's resting place?!"
As the voice rang out, the stone door was heard rumbling shut, trapping everyone in the tomb
It's not good, this thing is by their side, just now they were in a hurry to take the flag, and they forgot to explore the environment in the tomb first, this is bad, I'm afraid it will alarm the creature guarding the tomb, and a fierce battle is probably inevitable.
Shi Di looked at the place where the voice sounded, but found that the place was empty.
What kind of creature is this? Why do you only hear its voice but don't see its form? Could it be...... Will it be invisible?
The enemy is in the dark, and the stone gate is closed again, and the space here is so narrow that there is not even a place to hide, the situation is really not optimistic.
Since it had mistaken itself for its owner, let's try to deal with it in this capacity.
Thinking of this, Shi Di cleared his throat and pretended to be majestic.
"Bold, dare to commit a crime, rude to your master, don't you recognize your identity clearly?
"You...... Is it really the master?"
I saw that in the open space in front of the sarcophagus, the figure of a strange beast appeared.
