Chapter 125: Stone Gate Switch
I swallowed warily.
No matter what we were following behind us, Li Zhuang had already assured me that as long as he was there, it would be fine.
I don't have to worry about it and scare myself.
I breathed as smoothly as I could, and quickly followed Li Zhuang.
I cut the band into a private channel and asked the question I had always wanted to ask.
"Li Zhuang, I always have a feeling that you seem to know a lot about this, do you know who the owner of the tomb below is?"
Li Zhuang was silent for a while when I asked.
But his silence just means that he really knows the condition of what is going on underneath.
Li Zhuang didn't stay silent for too long, but quickly replied to me.
"I'll tell you when it's time to know, and the less you know, the better. There's something mysterious underneath that, and it's not good for you if you get caught up in it. ”
As he spoke, Li Zhuang stopped talking, but silently swam forward for a distance, obviously not intending to continue talking to me.
I sighed.
In this case, he didn't want to talk more, and naturally I couldn't continue to ask tough questions.
We slowly swam forward for a few hundred meters, only this time it was relatively calm around us, and there were no more accidents.
Even Cui Hao regained his optimism and began to chat with us again.
At this moment, I was shocked to notice a huge doorway in front of us.
This doorway seems to be so tall that it can reach the sky, and it has a speed of seven or eight meters high.
A huge doorway stood in front of him, as if it had been dug through the center of the earth.
In addition, the door is also carved with a phoenix pattern, and the pattern of flames covers the entire gate.
The edge of the door was also inlaid with emerald green jade, which faintly reflected a moving light under the light of several of our helmets.
The moment I saw this jade, I counted the dots, Cui Hao, this kid must not be able to help it.
Sure enough, it was when I counted to three.
Cui Hao shot out like a sharp sword, like a fish swimming around the door hole in an instant.
He looked at the hole in amazement, and reached out to grope for the carved jade stones on top of the hole.
"Good stuff, all good stuff."
Cui Hao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Obviously, this kid is thinking about these jades again.
But soon he was stopped by Zhao Yueming.
"Cui Hao, don't worry about this outside thing, if you want to take it off, you can pick it up at any time when it comes out. We're going to go in now, and we're going to stop us from touching the door by mistake to prevent it from being on the door, so it's better not to touch it yet. ”
Zhao Yueming said that he was approachable, and the reason was extremely appropriate.
Cui Hao withdrew his hand in disinterest, but it was obvious that he didn't think about the jade anymore.
At this time, several people couldn't help but turn their heads and fall on me.
Zhao Yueming swam in front of me and stretched out his hand to point to the giant gate in front of me.
"Actually, we've explored this place before, but we don't know how this door should be opened."
Saying that, Zhao Yueming said to me again.
"This is the underground blockade I told you before, and it is opened once in a hundred years. Now it's closed, but there's a mechanism on it that we can turn on, and we can get into it. If you wait for the deadbolt lock to lock the door, even a hundred tons of explosives may not be able to blow the door open. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yueming looked at me expectantly.
"Little master, everything else depends on you, as long as you can open this door, I will directly give you a reward of 1 million after you go back."
Looking at his appearance, I could tell at a glance that he must have begged for someone for so long.
It's just that this guy obviously didn't get his wish, and a lot of people who came may not have successfully opened the underground door.
I asked Zhao Yueming curiously.
"And what about the four families you talked about earlier? How did they open the door? ”
Zhao Yueming looked dazed and shook his head.
"I don't know, but when we came, they had already gone down. According to what we looked around our family, there were people from the four major families who were waiting for the return of their families. So I can be sure that this door will definitely be openable, and it will not be an ornament carved here. ”
I nodded, no wonder this guy was begging for me.
It turned out that the goal had already been determined, and the purpose was to let me help open this huge stone door.
You must know that in the art of touching gold, it is essential to open a cave and explore the tomb, which can be regarded as our housekeeping skill.
I didn't say any more, but immediately went to the door, and took a closer look at the situation.
Li Zhuang also came to my side and quietly followed my side.
It was as if he had been watching my surroundings nervously and vigilantly, for fear that I would be in danger.
"Is there anything else staring at me in the dark?"
Thinking of the previous accidents, I couldn't help but feel a little strange worry in my heart.
It was only very soon that all my attention was drawn to this door.
This door does have some meaning.
The pattern on the door is fine and compact, and the vine is constantly spreading, and a huge phoenix nirvana ascending to heaven is painted on it.
It's just that this fire phoenix was buried underwater, and it can be seen that the people who built this tomb at that time didn't seem to be so simple-minded.
It doesn't seem to hope that the dead in this place can rest in peace, but as if they hope to use the cold water in this jade pool to suppress the souls of the dead here.
I cautiously fumbled around the edges, but couldn't find a suitable mechanism to open on.
"Strange, is this door really a dead door?"
I swam around the edge of the door.
The door is embedded in the lowest level of the cavern, and the frame of the door is surrounded by a ring of stone walls, without any carved ornamentation, as if it were wild and natural.
I briefly swam around the edge of the doorway, carefully groping for the edge to see if the door's switch was on the edge.
It's a pity that there is still no gain.
"Strange, how the hell is this hole to be opened?"
I stood by the door, staring at it silently and thinking about how to open it.
A few others gathered around me, quietly waiting for me to open the door.
Zhuge Chalcedony's gaze has always fallen on me and your strong body, and has never moved away.
He once came to my side halfway and glanced at Li Zhuang vigilantly.
"This friend of yours doesn't seem to be a man of the world."
I was amazed at the viciousness of this guy's gaze.
I nodded and replied simply.
"It's true, but there is still some fate between us, so he stayed with me."
Zhuge Chalcedony sneered.
"It's fate, but it's fate. This guy wants your life, and you actually keep this guy by your side, and even let him be your bodyguard, your relationship is really complicated. ”
Zhuge Chalcedony is not at all like the isolated master I imagined, it seems to be a young man with a poisonous mouth.
Every time I spoke, it stabbed me in the chest like a sharp sword.
I didn't bother to talk to this guy, so I turned my head away and stopped talking to him.
Zhuge Chalcedony also seemed to be on a whim, and he didn't want to pay attention to me at this time, but silently swam back to Zhao Yueming's side.
The two men pointed in the direction of the doorway, as if to say something.
As for Cui Hao, this kid couldn't be idle at all, and after turning sideways on the outside of the gate for a while, he finally couldn't help being lonely, and swam around the road when he turned his head and went back and forth.
I didn't pay much attention to them, I just stared warily at the pattern on the door, watching them go.
I found that the pattern and texture of this pattern are quite smooth, and it does not look like there is a fault in the middle, and it is not like the stone doors I opened before, which must be spliced on the surface.
"In that case, it looks like if you want to open this stone door, you have to figure out where the switch is inside."
Look at how deeply the switch is hidden.
Intentionally or unintentionally, I set my eyes on the jade.
If the rest of this gate is normal, then the only thing that stands out is the jade embedded in the door.
The surface of these jades is smooth, the surface is faintly raised, and the shape is different, and the position of the appearance on this door is also very abrupt.
It doesn't feel like a structure that is already self-contained with this door.
"It's weird, it's weird. What do these jade stones represent? ”
The entire door is carved with a scene of a phoenix being reborn from the ashes, and every line is extremely smooth and accurate, and every place clearly and clearly constitutes such a pattern.
Even the stone patterns that originally grew on this stone gate were carefully carved by the original craftsmen to create a special pattern.
In short, it can be self-contained with all the patterns on the wall, without any abrupt feeling.
But there is a little.
It is these jade stones inlaid next to it, they are incompatible with the content of the picture, and there is not even any trace of carving on it.
It was as if these craftsmen had randomly inlaid the stone door.
You must know that this door is a whole, and there will never be such a worker who makes the door frame and his own door present two completely different styles.
So it always gives me a bit of a weird feeling.
I had a hunch that the switch I needed to find to open the door was among these jades.
It's up to me to decipher the mechanisms and meanings attached to these jades.
I stared at the jade stones, reaching out to touch their surfaces, trying to find the truth.
