Chapter 518: The Light of the Treasure
"Yes, that's puzzling." After thinking for a while, Bai Lang said again: "I understand, this sentence in ancient materials may use a metaphor. When snakes crawl, they mostly crawl in a straight line, because when the snake tries its best to crawl, it will never zigzag forward, but will go straight forward like an arrow. Therefore, the meaning of that sentence is probably from the eyes of the skeleton all the way forward......"
The skeleton's eyes were facing a fork in the road on the right. "Yes, this is the way, go!" Shirarou excitedly led the way in front.
After about 500 meters, Shirarou stopped again, because he noticed a small red light, although it was still far away from him.
He stepped forward to take a look, and the way ahead was blocked by a stone wall again. There is a very large diamond set in the middle of the stone wall. As soon as the five lamps approached, a blinding light reflected back.
"Yes, it's the 'Red Diamond Eye'. I think this stone wall is the same as the one just now, and it will definitely be able to be pushed away. ”
Everyone held up the lamps and took a closer look at the stone wall. On top of the stone wall, a carved vulture was found.
"In that ancient document, there is a sentence that I remember as 'the vulture soars into the sky'. It is likely that this is the condor. ”
Shirarou stepped closer and took a closer look. Soon, a horizontal line was found on the stone wall. Then he looked at it again, and saw that the stone door was divided into two halves, and he could push inside.
Shan Na and Qiu Laohu helped Bai Lang, and with all their strength, the stone wall was divided into two pieces, and drove inward. In this way, no one could see the upper half of the stone gate, and the vulture, of course, disappeared, as if it had rushed into the clouds.
The entrance was so low that only one person could squeeze in. They went inside and found another very dark underground passage.
They walked about 200 meters and came to an empty field of about 200 square meters. Two copper rings are placed on the ground in the middle of the open field.
"This is it!" The five of them said in unison.
The two brass rings, nailed to the middle of a bronze lid. Under this lid, there are certainly many jewels. The hearts of the five people were beating wildly.
"In this ancient document, it is said that the queen of the yellow race wants to open this copper lid herself. Shi Lili, please give it a try! ”
"I don't have that much strength!"
Shan Na stepped forward and tugged hard at the brass ring. The copper ring was covered with rust, and no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't pull it.
He took out the knife, scraped the patina off, and finally pulled the copper lid open. There is a hole at the bottom, and a stone staircase is next to the entrance.
The five men walked down the stone steps one by one. After walking about 100 steps, I came across a stone gate, which also had a copper ring on it. However, the iron latch on the stone door had been so badly corroded that it was almost falling off.
"I see, this door is what really needs to be opened by the Queen herself. This rickety door, you're sure to be able to open. ”
After Shi Lili heard this, she stretched out her hand, and with a gentle push, the stone door opened. The room is about 10 square meters in size, with a statue of the demon god standing in the middle of the room, and a wooden box at the foot of the statue.
The wooden box was in tatters. Through the decaying gap, it was found that there were many large pieces of gold inside, which were shining. Everyone held their breath and stared at the wooden box that had been sleeping for thousands of years and contained priceless treasures.
In addition to this wooden box, they also saw that the corners of the house were also piled with wooden boxes, all with wooden lids, all made of very thick planks, and the outside was locked.
Shanna pulled out the machete and poked a hole in the lid of a box. Qiu Laohu reached in and grabbed something out to take a look.
"Oops, diamonds!"
It was a diamond the size of a bird's egg. From one side, the color is very similar to that of a cracked pomegranate, especially red, and no one knows exactly how much it is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.
Shanna pried open another box, and inside, there were also a lot of diamonds. Later, I saw countless golden wine glasses, precious stones, etc., all of which were rare in other wooden chests.
Shi Lili and Zhong Qian stood beside them with lamps, and Bai Lang and Qiu Laohu carefully examined those treasures through the lights.
At this moment, the light of these rare treasures flickered so much that their eyes were almost dizzying. Suddenly, there was a miserable cry from somewhere else.
The crowd immediately stood up, and then there was a rush of footsteps, gradually getting closer.
"Danna, go see what's going on?"
As he spoke, Bai Lang turned his head to find a single person. However, Shanna was not around. He was a little panicked, and looked around, but still couldn't find Shanna's figure. The machete that had been placed on the ground was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, there was another miserable scream, and one after another.
"This voice is singular!" Bai Lang panicked.
The voice came closer, above the stone steps.
Bai Lang and Qiu Laohu immediately ran up the stone steps.
Unexpectedly, there was another burst of shouting, followed by a series of moans. They ran in the direction from which the sound came, and when they got closer, they held up their lamps and saw Shan Na lying near the stone gate, with a short sword stuck in his shoulder, and bright red blood kept pouring out.
"Shanna, what's going on?"
Shan Na was groaning in great pain, and when he heard the question, he opened his eyes, and said intermittently:
"Bad thing...... The Great Monk ......"
"Grand Monk?...... What's going on?"
He closed the stone door. He had already fled. ”
"Really?"
Bai Lang turned around, and sure enough, the stone door was the same as before and closed tightly.
Shan Na's wound was bandaged by Shirao.
Although he was injured, he didn't mind, "Don't worry, I'm fine." However, it is likely that I will die here with the rest of you. ”
"Oh? How so?
"Closing this stone door is tantamount to cutting off our retreat. The great monk has killed us. Just now, when everyone was inspecting the treasures in the wooden box, I vaguely heard a movement, which seemed to be the sound of the stone door closing, and hurriedly ran here, unexpectedly, in the dark, a short sword pierced my shoulder. When I fell to the ground, I heard the voice of the great monk, who said, "Shanna, the five of you have offended the great demon god who defended the jewels, and you will never see the light of day again." After saying that, he laughed. ”
"Hmm." Bai Lang nodded slightly.
It turned out that the senior monk had not fled abroad, but had unknowingly burrowed into the underground passage and followed them all the time. When all five of them had entered the mysterious warehouse where the jewels were kept, he closed the stone door of the warehouse.
