Chapter 239 Yin Yang Gate
Xiao Ran imagined that he was flying above the cave, overlooking the circular place with the boulder as the center.
According to the portrait, as soon as they walked down the slope, they had already activated Lady Xia's head and her hands. This was just good luck and could save some trouble and avoid possible trouble.
Now Liu Shengli and Xu Er are going to activate the bottom pair of hands respectively. If we describe it in terms of a dial, positioning the oil pit under the slope trail at the twelve o'clock direction, the two of them are going to activate the three o'clock and nine o'clock directions.
switch.
After a while, the two wax corpse oil lamps also lit up brightly, and Xiao Ran clearly heard two muffled sounds of "Hang Bang" coming from the stone door behind him.
It seems that this idea is indeed correct! Xiao Ran quickly took a few steps back, walked to the six o'clock position, and waited for the two of them to press the marked position of the statue of Empress Xia to activate the five o'clock and seven o'clock switches.
They had entered the tomb gate and passed through the corridor before. Xiao Ran thought that the cave here should be the main chamber of the entire tomb. But now it seems that this is a front room, and the real tomb chamber is behind the stone door.
.
What is the use of the big stone in the middle? Is it like the faucet, formed naturally and left behind because it looks good?
Judging from the previously mutated giant vine man-eating plant, although Tianling Sanren are crazy, they are very utilitarian and will not spend time doing something worthless. This giant stone pestle is here, and all the oil pits are still centered around it.
, there must be something fishy.
"Xiao Gang! Let's open these two!"
Liu Shengli and Xu Er had already run not far away and stepped on the two switches at the five o'clock and seven o'clock positions.
Xiao Ran instinctively avoided the direction of the stone door and moved a few steps to the side. He did not want to be hit by the oncoming tomb gas the moment he opened the door, or be hit head-on by some mechanism in the tomb.
When the last two switches were activated, Xiao Ran heard two more muffled sounds coming from behind the stone door. Even the oil lamp at the door trembled slightly, and the flames flickered.
After the muffled sound, there was a continuous sound of wheels, followed by dust splashing and flying above the stone door, and then a noise of rubbing stones came from the stone door. The stone door was finally shaking continuously and moved toward the ground below.
It went down.
Liu Shengli and Xu Er also endured their nausea at this time and lit the two wax corpse oil lamps that had just been raised. At this time, more than half of the entire hall was illuminated.
Xiao Ran's attention at this time was all focused on the stone door that had just been opened. A turbid air mixed with dust rushed out from the hole, and the oil lamps on the left and right kept flickering, as if someone was blowing hard.
He looked at the direction of the swaying, and it was pointing towards the inside of the door, which meant that fresh air was pouring in behind the stone door at this time.
Liu Shengli and Xu Er walked up to him and looked at the dark hole together. None of the three said a word. When the flame of the oil lamp at the door gradually stabilized, Xiao Ran knew it was time.
"I'll take you two for a real fight! Wear your masks and let's go in and open the coffin!"
When Liu Shengli and Xu Er heard this, they both became excited. They quickly followed Xiao Ran's instructions and took protective measures. They followed Xiao Ran to the stone gate.
Xiao Ran took the torch, reached into the stone door and walked around it a few times, and scanned the door a few times, first to confirm the air condition inside, and secondly to see if there was any "head-in" trap.
After confirming the safety of the door, the three of them, led by Xiao Ran, walked into the stone door one by one.
Behind the stone door, there is a passage about ten meters long. Two doors can be seen at the end. A pull ring with a chain is hung on the wall, and the other end of the chain goes deep into the stone wall.
The three of them walked to the door. This time, without Xiao Ran's instructions, the two of them looked at the ceiling and the ground, carefully checking for any possible fatal mechanisms.
I found that there were no secret doors or small holes sealed with clay in the ten-meter passage. The bricks and stones in the passage were built together tightly. Even where the pull tab was hung, there was only a small hole where the iron chain was.
All three of them felt relieved.
It took a lot of effort before, but the switch here is so obvious, there must be no traps. Xiao Ran took a deep breath, looked at the same firm eyes of the two people around him, and decisively pulled the tab.
The chain was pulled for a moment, and then retracted to its original position. The familiar sound of mechanism operation sounded in the wall, and the stone door in front of it slowly opened inwards.
The sound of the stone door rubbing was noisy and harsh. Xiao Ran felt that the sound seemed to be coming from all directions. Maybe it was because the passage was too small, so there was an echo.
He glanced behind him subconsciously, and suddenly shouted in shock: "Damn it, I've been tricked again!"
Liu Shengli and Xu Er also turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw that at the same time as the two doors in front opened, the stone door at the entrance slowly rose again.
The three people hurriedly ran towards the stone door at the entrance, but in the end they could only watch the stone door rise completely. As the last gap disappeared, the fire outside also disappeared.
There is also a statue of Empress Xia on the inside of the stone door. When the stone door closes, it makes a "click" sound and the metal outline pops out.
No matter how Xiao Ran looked at them, he felt that the glaring grinning expressions and the coquettish dancing were mocking their recklessness.
"Manager...are we...going to suffocate to death in this tomb?"
Liu Shengli told everyone what they feared the most, and Xu Er was so angry that he knocked the wall with a shovel with a wooden handle, making a reluctant "dang-dang" sound.
Xiao Ran also grabbed Liu Shengli's engineering shovel and slapped Madam Xia on the face several times. The result was not only sparks flying from the metal friction, but dust floating everywhere.
The three of them covered their eyes and noses to prevent themselves from choking and coughing. Only then did Xiao Ran and Xu Er stop what they were doing.
Although he was done venting his anger, he still had to find a way to open the door, otherwise even if he entered the tomb, he would just be buried with him. Xiao Ran used Liu Shengli's torch light to carefully examine the surrounding walls.
Xiao Ran held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Although he had not checked out the mechanism just now, there might be a raised wall tile or a stone that could be pushed in, which might be the switch to open the door.
Fortunately, after the stone door was closed, there were no subsequent killing moves in this not-so-long passage. Seeing Liu Shengli holding a torch to help Xiao Ran illuminate it, Xu Er felt angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked the wall and the ground all the way to open the door into the tomb.
Go to the door.
When he saw the hanging pull ring, he cursed angrily: "I thought it was a ring that would make you rich and broaden your horizons, but I didn't expect it was a rope that would lead you to seek for your life!"
He was so angry that he kicked the tab, and his foot got stuck in the tab. His body staggered, and his foot instinctively stepped down, and the tab was pulled down again.
The two doors next to him suddenly closed with a "click", and Xu Er was shocked. It seemed that he had gotten into trouble again on impulse. Now he didn't even have time to take a look inside the tomb, so he closed the door, and the three of them
Are you really going to die trapped in this ten-meter-long coffin?
He turned to look at the door in despair, only to see Xiao Ran and Liu Shengli looking at him in surprise. Next to them, the stone door slowly fell down again, and the firelight fanning outside the door once again sprinkled the entrance to the passage.
"It turns out that there are two Yin and Yang gates..." Xiao Ran said.
