Chapter 13: A First Glimpse of the Vault (2)

When the two heard the words of separating the two sides of the giant gate, they saw Chen Yuan walk more than ten steps towards the entrance of the cave, climb to the top of another copper pillar, take a breath, and fly to the copper pillar closest to the door like lightning. But it was strong enough to make it fall, just swaying back and forth like a tumbler. Chen Yuan fell to the ground, panting, and climbed the copper pillar again after panting. Gu Ming and Wang Ye immediately knew what he was going to do, and they also ran quickly and followed the copper pillar. When the two of them reached the top, Chen Yuan had just jumped out, and he kicked on the copper pillar closest to the door, making it tilt even more. Without waiting for it to stand up straight and shake, Gu Ming made up for the top of the copper pillar with another foot at the lowest point of the tilt, and the copper pillar lay down again, and for a full two breaths, he did not stand up straight back, nor did he fall down, just stood still in mid-air. Chen Yuan knew that the balance point had just been reached at this moment, and with a little more force, the copper pillar would fall. If it waits for it to finish unloading before striking downward, then when it bounces up again, it will shake in the direction it will shake, and whether it can hit the copper door when it swings back again, it is not clear. Chen Yuan hurriedly raised his breath, looking at this height, he should be able to reach it when he gets up, and he can step on it again. As soon as he was full of strength, he saw a figure flying towards the copper pillar, and the prince also arrived, and he also stepped on the top of the copper pillar. The bronze pillar creaked and slowly fell, like a building that had been trampled on in an earthquake, slow and irretrievable.

The bottom of the copper pillar was dug back because of the forward leaning, until the top of the column "banged" on the copper door, and the bottom was like a plow, and it was half a minute into the ground, and quickly rubbed back a long pit. This also shows that the head of the pillar is blocked by the bronze door, and it is just falling. "Bang"! The copper pillar fell to the ground, lying horizontally where it fell, crushing the bluestone slab under him, raising the outline into the python-like dust, and then did not move at all.

The three of them tossed for a long time, the sun was almost in the middle of the sky, and there was a pillar of light that went straight into the cave from the entrance, so that without relying on torches, they could basically see the inside of the cave. The giant python dissipated in the sun, and the bronze giant door fell down some dust that had been stained for many years, but it was still as solemn and simple as ever, except that the bronze color was more distinct, and it did not change at all. There was a person in front of the door who was disgraced, and hurriedly squatted down and put his face on the ground, eager to buckle his eyes and stuff them into the crack of the door to observe. After getting up, his face was even more gray - he didn't move at all, he was smashed by such a heavy copper pillar, and he didn't even move a hair's distance.

"No, Brother Yuan, it seems that this copper pillar is not used to open the door." Gu Ming walked over and touched the bronze doorway.

"Well, I don't know how thick this door is, just now a pillar came out with such a muffled sound, just like the sound of falling to the ground." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Just dust it down and help clean the door." Gu Ming said with a smile.

"Just now you said that there is no crack in the middle of this door, so I wondered if I could push it through." Tatsu Yuandao.

"And only the two closest ones can hit the door when they fall, and nothing else can reach them, so they shouldn't be used to open the door." Chen Yuan said again.

"If this door can be opened, it will definitely not be pulled outward, and this outside is embedded in the rock wall of the mountain on all sides, so it can only be pushed open on both sides." Gu Ming said.

"Well, I read an ancient book that says that there is a cheap slave country rich in dwarves in the East China Sea, and their doors are opened like this." Tatsu Yuandao.

"You've ever been out of the East China Sea?" Gu Ming said.

"I heard that the lowly slave country specializes in dwarves, and voluntarily runs all over the world to be slaves, and is proud of being slaves. I didn't believe that there was such a country in the world, so I made a special trip to see it. "Chen Yuandao.

"And then?" Gu Ming was interested.

"Not only did I become the tallest man in their country after I went, but their lord kept praising me for my greatness, kneeling down and saying that he wanted to be my dog." Chen Yuan said, with some disgust on his face.

"Ah, this ......" Chen Yuan's words were completely beyond Gu Ming's expectations, and Gu Ming didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It's not just that, it's the customs, folk culture, etc., it's all disgusting. I was so sick that I couldn't stay any longer, so I ran away all night. Otherwise, the lord of the kingdom prepared for me a thousand young women, and said that I would live for three years, one every night, and that he would borrow my seed. ”

Gu Ming's eyes widened after hearing this, and he opened his mouth in surprise for a long time before he said, "Brother Yuan, this is the matter...... Don't you want to tell Daiji about it? ”

Chen Yuan laughed out loud after hearing this, and said: "But the people over there are short and short, disgusting and disgusting, in terms of beauty alone, there are many women who are really good!" ”

"Then I'm not even more interested in telling Daiji!" Gu Ming said, "Otherwise, you will burn all the boats, and this dog will have to learn to swim now!" He laughed.

"Haha! Okay, well, don't tell him. Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"It's far away, it seems that if you want to open this door, you have to find a way to push on both sides." Chen Yuan said again.

"I think it's about finding a way to warp it up, or how to bring it up." Gu Ming was determined.

"Oh? Why? Chen Yuan asked.

"If the ancestors of our land knew that there was such a country in the East China Sea, they would never make the door open and close in the same way as them." Gu Ming said seriously.

"Haha! But this door, even this pillar can't hit a bit, how can you mention it? What kind of force can be lifted? Chen Yuan asked with a smile.

"This ......," Gu Ming lowered his head and pondered.

"Uncle Wang, what are you looking at?" Chen Yuan saw Gu Ming bowing his head and pondering, and glanced at the prince who didn't know how to interject for a long time, but saw the prince staring directly at the bronze giant gate, frowning.

"Long-day, trembling, minute-what...... Bear. The prince's eyes still did not leave the place he was staring at, as if he was reading something.

Chen Yuan walked in front of Ran Zheng in two steps, looked there, and the giant door after being smashed by the copper pillar fell a layer of soil shell that had accumulated over the years, revealing the words carved on the copper door.

"I'll sweep the dust on it again, lest I not be able to recognize a single word of the king." Chen Yuan laughed.

"Little cub!" Wang Ye fanned the back of Chenyuan's head, and said: "It has nothing to do with ash, this is Jin Wen, and I really can't recognize some words." ”

"Jin Wen? Zhong Dingwen? Gu Ming came over when he heard this.

"I almost forgot, there's a connoisseur here." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Do you recognize Quan Zhong Dingwen?" The prince was surprised.

"Older ones, or sects that have been inherited for a little longer, the martial arts cheats are all written by Zhong Dingwen." Gu Ming said disapprerovingly.

The prince was dumbfounded.

Gu Ming carefully looked at the calligraphy and paintings exposed on it, if he took this bronze door as a scroll, the frontispiece was a line of words. In the middle is a painting, the content of the painting is also very simple, there is a fairy island floating in the sky, a waterfall pours down on the island, and the Milky Way falls from the sky to the earth, turning into a long river on the ground and flowing into the sea. The tail of the volume also has two lines of words. On the huge bronze door, a painting was carved with four lines of characters. The painting is a relief, with concave and convex. In order to match the picture, some of the characters are carved and convex, and some are chiseled and concave. The seven words in the first line alone are arranged convex and concave, and it is no wonder that they can stand up to the dust.

"There are only seven words in the first line, and the water of the long river comes from the sky." Gu Ming said.

Wang Ye and Chen Yuan didn't speak, and followed Gu Ming to slowly move to the left for more than ten steps.

"The second line should be eight words, what is the copper door is small, what is the world big. The two words after the micro and big were stripped away, you see, square. Gu Ming pointed to the thin small square pit at the end of the line and said.

Chen Yuan still didn't say anything, but wondered in his heart: "Why just strip away those two words?" ”

The third line is also eight words - three points into the soil, and the common people are born. This sentence is complete. Gu Ming said again.

This sentence was confusing, and Chen Yuan and Wang Ye both lowered their heads and frowned.

"In the last line, the bronze door fell, and Kyushu was purified. Also complete. After Gu Ming finished reading, he read it again in a low voice from the beginning.

"The waters of the long river come from the sky. The copper door is small, and the world is big. Three points into the soil, charcoal to the people. The bronze gate fell, and Kyushu was purified. ”

Chen Yuan also recited it silently, and said: "The water of this long river comes from the sky, it should be the name of this painting." After a pause, he said: "The last three lines of words don't have the slightest connection with this picture." ”

"What is the copper door is small, what is the world big. Originally, this should be the easiest sentence to understand, but the two most critical words were stripped away. Gu Ming said.

"I'm afraid it's because if those two words are there, it's easy to know what this giant gate is for, or what is behind the door." Chen Yuan said.

"What does that mean by the next line? Three points into the soil, charcoal to the people. Is it the bronze door into the earth? Isn't this in the ground? The prince asked.

"I can't think of it, even if this bronze gate can enter the earth for three points, what does it have to do with the charcoal of the common people? Is it so capable? "Chen Yuandao.

"The bronze gate has fallen, and Kyushu has been purified. It means that if this bronze gate is lost, Kyushu will fall into purgatory? Wang Ye said.

"Could it be that hell is behind this bronze door? When the door was opened, the evil spirit came out to take men? The prince sneered and said that he had never believed in these things.

Chen Yuan looked at the altar directly opposite the bronze gate again, and wondered in his heart, could it be that this is a place where the wind and rain are good for the country and the people in the past. Can this bronze door, or what is behind it, bless this prayer?

The three of them pondered for a moment on the door, and no one figured out why, the prince looked at the pillar of light that was slanted at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Let's go, then, you have to go to the West Peak, and the sky will be numb when you go back." The three of them drilled out of the hole back and forth, Chen Yuan's mind was messy for half a day, and his eyes were a little sluggish at the moment. looked blankly at the hole that had just been drilled, and said, "How do you close this door?" As soon as the words fell, the land temple seemed to be able to understand him, and slowly closed together with a muffled rumble, and the land lord picked up his crutch again, still smiling like that.

"This!" Chen Yuan was incredulous and shouted, "How did you close it?" None of us moved. ”

The prince smiled and said, "As soon as the person comes out, he will close it by himself." ”

"What?" Chen Yuan stood on the spot, "How does it know if the person is out or not?" Or do you get caught in the middle of the trip? Chen Yuan asked again.

"Could it be that it has eyes?" Gu Ming also said.

"I can hear the hinge when it opens and closes, and I can also hear the sonorous sound of copper and iron rubbing, this door is controlled by a mechanism, but what is the principle of this? Especially when the door is closed. Chen Yuan frowned, and as he spoke, he walked over and looked at the vulture that was half buried in the soil, knocked twice, and finally even pulled it out of the ground, and the land temple did not move at all. What's going on? Nothing connected to the land temple in this bronze sculpture? Chen Yuan looked at the prince questioningly and asked. This bronze sculpture? Is it a bronze sculpture? Chen Yuan asked Ran Zheng in a daze.

"Haha! Far boy! I can see you like this, so I didn't bring you here in vain today. The prince laughed.

"I've never seen you like this! You've always looked like you know everything, and sometimes I'm really angry when I look at it. The prince smiled and said fiercely.

"How did you get it, Ranbo!" Chen Yuan held the bronze sculpture and took two steps to the front of Ran Zheng.

"Yo Yo Yo, I know that my mouth is sweet, why don't you call Uncle Wang? Isn't it more than ten years to change? Ran Zheng teased.

"Oops, Ranbo." Chen Yuan grabbed Ran Zhengdao's arm and shook it.

"Okay, okay, don't let his mother learn from the coquettish girl, you will come if you know what I am most disgusting." The prince broke free from Chen Yuan's hand.

"Haha! Ranber, just tell me. How could this broken bird make the door open with a single stroke of the air? Chen Yuan asked, holding the neck of the copper vulture in his hand.

Ran Zheng smiled and said mysteriously: "When you wait for Naxi Peak, you will know." ”

As soon as King Dingxi's words fell, Chen Yuan was already rushing towards the peak like an arrow from the string.

"Wait, boy, I'll show you the way! There are many poisonous insects and beasts in this mountain! The prince drank anxiously.

But seeing Chenyuan leaning forward, tapping a crown, he ran up two or three feet, and then a little next crown, and from a distance, it seemed that a person was flying up quickly along the outermost layer of this turquoise outline, where was he still using to find his way into the mountain. In this way, in the stunned eyes of the prince, it has risen to a height of one-fifth or sixth, and it is still running upward. Don't say that the prince was surprised, even Gu Ming asked himself if he could do it, at most he ran five or six times, and the breath he was carrying was discharged, and he must have to land and take another breath. Gu Ming hurriedly followed, and the prince also stomped his feet and burrowed into the dense forest.
