Volume 1: The Mystery of Dunhuang Chapter 29 The Eyes of the Dragon
The old man was still admonishing everyone with fear on his face, and never to think of entering the stone door.
And I had already selectively filtered out these things that affected my mood, and began to grope for the narrow stone door, hoping to open it.
At first, everyone was hesitant, but when they saw that I was moving again, they all ignored the old man and chose to remain silent.
Among the five people, it seems that only the old man is an outsider, and the other four of us are more or less related to each other, and they are also here for a purpose, even if I make a mistake, Liu Tingting and the dog will not agree.
Soon, the other three people all came to my side and began to look for a way to open the stone door in front of me.
Wu Fat Man relied on the fat meat, and slammed it twice on the stone door, who would have thought that the stone door was not moving, but the painful Wu Fat Man was grinning.
I also took out the machete and plunged it into the gap in the stone door, intending to warp it.
Because I still know that there is a doorstone behind this wooden door, I wondered if I could pry it open by chance.
I had no choice but to do it for a long time, and I was still useless, and I was tired enough.
I suddenly thought that it would be nice if this was like the style of opening tombs in the southern school, no matter how strong your stone gate is, there is nothing that a pack of explosives can't do.
Of course, that's what I'm saying, even if there is really a bag of explosives at the moment, I don't dare to blow it up, otherwise wouldn't it directly expose the whereabouts of our people?
"Oh, I'll go, this stone door is too strong, it's motionless, what can I do, Dongzi."
Fat Wu rubbed his aching shoulder and said.
At this time, I was also depressed, I didn't know what to do, Liu Tingting and the dog were still looking for the so-called door opening mechanism inch by inch on the stone door, and in the end they were also useless.
"Alas......!"
Just when several people were at a loss, the old man suddenly sighed.
"Old man, I may be really old, and I am actually starting to be greedy for life and afraid of death, thinking that I am also entrusted by others to be loyal to people, how can there be a reason to bend before fighting, just think that the old man was farting just now, no matter whether it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire or a Yama Palace, the old man will follow you to break through."
The old man's words were quite impassioned, and the fat man on the side gave him a thumbs up again and again.
But for me, I was speechless for a while, this is obviously that the old man saw that he was cowardly, and lost face in front of a few juniors, and now he is risking his life here to earn face.
But since the old man agreed, it was also a good thing.
You must know that he even knows the tomb beast placed at the door, and there should be a way to open the stone door in front of him, maybe this is the reason why Liu Baye invited him here.
All four of us turned our heads to look at the old man, and although he didn't say anything, the old man understood what we meant from the longing in our eyes.
I saw that the old man walked to the stone gate, first raised his hand and patted the stone door twice, and then looked down at the two tomb beasts on the left and right sides of the stone gate, and then raised his hand again and stroked his gray beard.
After a long time, the old man stretched out two fingers and said, "There are actually two ways to open this stone door, but neither of them is very practical. ”
"Two ways, so many, old man, say it quickly!"
I knew that this old man had a way, but I didn't expect that there were two ways as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was really not a simple old man.
"What about the first method, have you seen those two tomb beasts that look like elephants, and see what they are missing?"
When the old man said this, I hurriedly squatted in front of the tomb beast with a flashlight and observed it carefully, don't you say it, it really made me discover what the tomb beast lacks, that is, an eye.
People have two eyes, and the same is true for the tomb beast, and no tomb beast placed in front of the tomb is a one-eyed monster, or a blind man without eyes, in that case, it will not be able to do the effect of seeing the six ways to deter the shadow.
The elephant in front of him is the same, it has two eyes, one on the left and one on the right, but the strange thing is that one of its eyes is integrated with the body, and the one on the inside of the stone gate is only a deep sunken eye socket, without eyeballs.
I hurriedly looked at the elephant on the other side, and it turned out that it was also missing an eyeball, but in the opposite direction, and both were facing the inside of the stone gate.
I told the old man about this strange clue, and the old man smiled and nodded to me and said, "Well, yes, the young man has observed quite carefully, yes, this is called the evil door eye lock, and if you want to open this stone door, you need to find the two missing eyes of the two dragons." ”
"Master, what you said is the same as what you didn't say, how do we know where those two eyeballs are, can't we let us use our own eyeballs to open the stone door?" Wang Fatzi said with some displeasure.
"Well, that's why I say, this stone door isn't so easy to open!"
"Yes, if you don't have eyes, you can't open this stone door, even if you know this way, it's useless." Even Liu Tingting began to complain.
At this time I heard the words of several of them, but I did not express my opinion, because at this time, I actually reached into my arms and touched it.
After a while, I took out a jade ball that glowed faintly blood-red.
This is the last time I received it from Hanzi with the two bronzes, and the last time I went to the villa, I forgot to take it out, and I didn't expect that it would be able to be linked with the eyes of the elephant now.
Holding the jade ball in my hand, I carefully set it into the deep empty eye sockets of the dragon.
Click!
With a soft sound, the jade ball was inlaid into it seamlessly, and then it emitted a dazzling blood-red light in an instant.
Everyone present was shocked, and looked at me incredulously, obviously not expecting that I would casually take out the eyes of a tomb beast from my arms.
Since they are all members of the same team, I have nothing to hide about this matter, so I will briefly outline the matter about the bronze and the jade ball.
"Tut-tut...... It's a pity that I only have one eye, and I still can't open this stone door. ”
The old man sighed again.
"By the way, old man, didn't you say that there are two ways to open this stone door, and what is the other way?" I asked, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
When the old man heard this, his eyes glared fiercely, and he released a fine light, and he said word by word: "The second way is to blow up the stone gate with explosives!" ”
“……”
The old man was impassioned, but as soon as he said this, we all became dumb, and we were really speechless.
I'm afraid everyone present has thought of this method.
"Master, this method doesn't work, is there no other way?" Fat Wu asked.
The old man immediately shook his head and said, "If this method doesn't work, then it's really useless, unless you can find the eyes of another tomb beast, otherwise this stone door can't be opened at all." ”
"But where can I find this, why don't I secretly go back to the scientific expedition team and ask Han Zijian if he has seen another jade ball?"
I opened my mouth to say something that didn't make sense.
However, at this time, suddenly a low voice came into the ears of several of us from the depths of the yellow sand.
"Don't bother the little brother, you can run again, we will send it to the door ourselves!"
As soon as the words fell, a light from the flashlight flashed in the darkness, and then a dozen people walked out of the wind and sand.
I was suddenly shocked when I saw this group of people, isn't this the gang of guys pretending to be the scientific expedition team, led by the captain Lou with eyes.
"How is that possible, how did you find here?" I looked incredible.
Captain Lou smiled slightly and said, "This is thanks to our lovely village chief, if he hadn't braved the storm to deliver the news to me, I would have really missed this good show!" ”
