Chapter 717: The Huge Stone Gate
As I continued to observe this man's actions, I wondered, what was this man sneaking up on?
Lone Wolf whispered, "It seems that this person is very interested in Gujing, we must be careful not to let him do anything destructive." ”
I saw that the man circled around the ancient well several times, constantly tapping on it with his hands, as if looking for a hidden mechanism.
Seeing this, I was shocked and realized that this person might want to enter the secret passage under the ancient well.
Immediately turn on the Blood Demon Pupil Technique and stare at the position of the person's hand, if this person really finds the secret passage mechanism, we have decided to take action, and we can't let him continue to destroy the ancient well.
Suddenly, the man stopped tapping in his hand and had an excited expression on his face.
As if he had found some treasure, he began to push hard against a stone next to the ancient well.
But immediately he stopped moving, and looked around to see that there was no wind or grass around.
The man didn't seem to notice us, and he started pushing the stone harder again.
The stone seemed to be heavy, and he pushed it profusely sweating, but finally pushed it open a crack.
The four of us immediately tensed up and looked at each other, ready to strike at any moment.
The lone wolf whispered, "When he opens the entrance completely, we will rush over and subdue him." ”
I stopped the lone wolf and shook my head at the three of them, signaling that I was waiting.
Then I saw the man put his body into the mouth of the ancient well, slowly entered the ancient well, and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that this person had indeed entered the ancient well, Lei Zi and the lone wolf couldn't hold back any longer, and they all looked at me together.
At that moment, I whispered, "Move, slow down and don't alarm him." ”
The four of us immediately rushed out of our hiding place and quickly rushed towards the ancient well that the man had entered.
When I came to the entrance of the cave, I found that there was no one in the ancient well, and it seemed that I should have entered the secret passage.
Lying at the mouth of the ancient well, I found that there was still a lot of water in it, and the secret passage should be hidden somewhere under the water.
However, this person went down into the secret passage of the ancient well without any diving equipment, and most of the water was not very deep.
I glanced up at the three of them, didn't change all the wetsuits, and jumped directly into the water of the ancient well.
Plopped into the water, and then Lei Zi, the lone wolf, and Qin Yujie all jumped with me into the bottom of the well, which was only one and a half meters wide.
The well water was buried deep in the ground, and it was a bit cold and biting, but I didn't care about it and quickly dived down.
My vision under the water was a little blurry, but I could barely see what was going on.
I flicked the water with my feet and went downstream for a distance, estimated to be about seven meters, and finally saw the bottom of the ancient well.
Sure enough, there is a hole that turns right and enters, and it looks like the entrance to the secret passage.
Without hesitation, I swam into the hole on the right, turning my head to look up, and all three of them were following behind.
It was pitch black inside the cavern, and I cautiously explored it for fear of missing any important clues.
I continued to swim forward, and after swimming some distance, I noticed that the water inside the cave began to become clearer, and my vision gradually became clearer.
I secretly thought that I should swim out for nearly thirty meters or so, if it wasn't for the cultivation to support it, I am afraid that I would have run out of breath long ago.
Lei Zi and Qin Yujie followed me two meters away, only the lone wolf was slightly behind, still trying to swim forward.
Soon, I noticed that I could see some marks on the walls of the cave, which seemed to be artificially carved symbols, which were old but still clearly visible.
In our hearts, these symbols may well be some kind of indication or mark, and they may lead us to the end of the secret passage or the location of the treasure.
I stopped my body, turned around and gestured with my hands to the three of them, pointing up at the stone walls on both sides to make them pay attention to the symbols.
At that moment, I felt my body slowly begin to float, and suddenly, there was a sound of water flowing.
I was immediately alert and looked around and saw an undercurrent coming from ahead, carrying some debris and mud.
Immediately dodging towards the wall, the undercurrent rushed directly towards Lei Zi and Qin Yujie, but fortunately, the two reacted quickly and dodged directly.
After the undercurrent passed, we continued to swim forward, but this time we were more careful, always keeping an eye on the changes around us.
The air in the secret passage seemed to be getting more and more depressed, and his breathing became rapid, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a faint light appear in front of him.
I swam forward excitedly, hoping that this light would lead us out of this dark and oppressive passage.
Finally, we swam to the source of the light, and with a thud of our heads came out of the water, breathing in a big breath of air.
Lei Zi and the lone wolf, Qin Yujie all got out of the water with this, Lei Zi exhaled heavily, and then looked in front of him in shock.
In front of him turned out to be a huge stone gate, which was inlaid with some glowing gems that emitted a soft glow.
This huge stone gate is more than five meters high, which looks very ancient, and there are huge stone pillars seven or eight meters high erected on both sides.
The ground is all paved with huge stone slabs of more than two meters, revealing a sense of vicissitudes, and the four of us stood in front of the huge stone gate, our hearts were full of shock.
The gems set on the stone door shimmer mysteriously in the dim light, as if telling an ancient story.
I looked closely at the stone gate and saw that there were some patterns and words carved on it, similar to those on the inner wall of the waterway.
The motifs seem to depict scenes from ancient people's lives, and the text is an ancient hieroglyphic script that I don't recognize, but I can feel the wisdom and power contained in it.
Above the stone gate, the symbols of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch are inlaid in a staggered manner, shining with a faint light, as if telling the mysterious relationship between heaven and earth.
Lei Zi and Lone Wolf also stepped forward and carefully examined the patterns and words on the stone door.
We exchanged ideas and tried to decipher the meaning behind the patterns and words.
"Xiao Linzi, the person walking in front of us is gone, I don't know if it's hidden."
Lei Zi looked at the stone gate and whispered to me, I didn't answer, but nodded.
As soon as the four of us came out of the water, I was already trying to feel if there were people around.
After exploring, no one was found, and I wonder if that person was inside the water cave or if he had gone somewhere else.
The lone wolf frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that this person has already entered, we must be careful, he may have set a trap inside." ”
"Impossible, how could he go in in so quickly? We almost chased him down, he didn't have enough time. ”
I said almost directly in affirmative, and Qin Yujie also nodded, expressing her agreement with what I had just said.
Lei Zi then said in a deep voice: "Since this person can find and open the entrance to this secret passage, it means that he knows the situation here very well. We have to be careful not to let him get the upper hand. ”
I ignored these and continued to look at the carvings on the stone gate, and said, "These patterns and words may hide the secret of opening the stone door. ”
"We've got to crack them as soon as possible, or we might miss the chance to get into the depths of the secret passage."
I took a deep breath, already had a plan in mind, pointed to the patterns and words on the stone door, and said to the three of them, "Although these patterns and words are ancient, we can try to interpret them according to their arrangement and combination. ”
"Perhaps, this is the key to opening this huge stone door."
The four of us stood in front of this vast ancient stone gate, looking at it all with solemn eyes.
I took a deep breath and felt the flow of breath around me, trying to find the key to cracking the mechanism.
Suddenly, I noticed that the symbol of the sexagenary branch above the stone gate seemed to be slowly turning, echoing the surrounding stars.
My heart moved, could it be that the cracking of this mechanism is related to the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, and the movement of the stars?
