I saw that the giant snake opened its mouth big enough to swallow a whole elephant, its two tusks over 1 meter long were ferocious and terrifying, and its bright red mouth was intimidating, but that was not the most important thing.
●⌒,.
A stream of crystal-white venom, like water sprayed from a high-pressure nozzle in a firefighter's hand, flew across the sky and flew hundreds of meters before falling down.
"Ah, save me...!"
The miserable screams, like the wails from hell, are enough to strike fear into the hearts of everyone who hears them.
But these miserable cries only lasted for a few seconds and then died down.
"well!"
Liu Dong sighed in his heart.
He understood that except for the old monk Shoumei, all the monks in the Mahabodhi Temple were basically dead.
Looking at the giant cobras that spewed venom and chased the escaped old monk Shoumei with great movement, Liu Dong looked at the direction they left, which was also the direction he just came in, and secretly said: "I hope they can listen to me!
"
"Oops, Vartana and the others are still on the cliff!" Nancy reacted with worry on her face.
"Don't worry, when we left, I already gave him a note asking him to leave early with his bodyguards!"
"Really?"
"I never lie to anyone!" Liu Dong comforted looking at Nancy's expectant eyes.
But he wasn't sure whether his note would work. If those bodyguards didn't trust him, they would definitely die in Shekou.
But even so, Liu Dong didn't feel any guilt in his heart.
Everyone was strangers to begin with, and if it weren't for Nancy's sake, he wouldn't have done anything. Moreover, he did everything he could. Whether those people lived or died depended on their own choices.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"Haha, it took a lot of effort for someone to help us lure that big monster away. Wouldn't we be very sorry if we didn't seize the opportunity to go into the temple and have a look?"
Looking at the smile on Liu Dong's face, Nancy suddenly realized: "Did you already know that there would be a giant snake here?"
"Of course, this is what you told me originally!"
"At the beginning?"
Nancy suddenly realized that he had indeed told Liu Dongjiang about the story about the Mauryan Dynasty temple when he told him about it. But Nancy herself didn’t quite believe this story when she dug it out of a pile of old papers in the British Museum.
As for giant snakes, things that are similar to myths and legends are even less believable.
"Nancy, look what that is...!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Nancy immediately looked in the direction behind her that Liu Dong pointed at. However, before she could see clearly what was happening behind her, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then her vision went dark, and then nothing happened.
I no longer know.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Although the giant snake was lured away by the old monk Luojia, I'm not sure how long it can be held back by him, but it certainly won't be long! In order to save time as much as possible, this is the only way!" said Nancy.
After holding him in his arms, Liu Dong said.
Of course, he could also use the relics to enter the temple with Yuan Guang Escape. But in comparison, Liu Dong preferred to use his own eyes to see this underground temple where nine generations of the Maurya Dynasty kings were buried.
"Let's go, we don't have much time!"
"Yes, boss!"
Both of them are experts in martial arts, and their speed is naturally dozens of times faster than ordinary people. Even in this dense jungle, they are on the same level. In just a few minutes, the two of them have arrived in front of the main hall, which covers an area of about 300 square meters.
On the flat bluestone square.
Of course, the square is now covered with huge snake sloughs. Because of the large number of snakes, it actually feels like stepping on a sofa, soft and spongy!
Liu Dong's eyes did not linger too much on these snake sloughs, and his attention quickly focused on the main body of the temple next to it.
He didn't think much of it when he was far away, but after walking in, Liu Dong admired the wisdom of these ancestors of the ancient Maurya Dynasty even more.
Not to mention how they found this underground space, they just built a huge stone block that was nearly 10 meters long, 2 meters wide and high, and weighed more than 50 tons, so that the height in front of them was more than 25 meters.
The square temple with a length and width of more than 100 meters is enough to shock people.
And this was in the era of low productivity BC!
If this is made public, I am afraid that there will be one more unsolved mystery in the minds of archaeologists from all over the world.
The temple in front of you is an ancient engineering miracle comparable to the pyramids of ancient Egypt and the Great Wall of China.
Of course, sighing, Liu Donghai would not forget the main purpose of coming here.
Arriving at the main entrance of the temple, which was also the only portal, Liu Dong looked around at the almost lifelike cobra sculpture made entirely of bronze next to it, and then focused on the giant bronze portal 3 meters wide and 5 meters high at the back.
You don’t need to measure to know that these two giant bronze doors with divine patterns engraved on their surfaces are incredibly thick. If you don’t have specialized engineering machinery or master the correct entry method, you can’t even think of getting a glimpse of the true appearance of the Mauryan Dynasty temple.
Turning his hand, he took out the three-ring Falun from the mustard space. After comparing the depressions of the same size in the centers of the two bronze portals, Liu Dong understood that this three-ring Falun was the key to opening the bronze door.
But obviously, just having the key is not enough, you also need the password to unlock the door.
This is obviously beyond the scope of Liu Dong's understanding.
Fortunately, he had backup, so there was no need for such trouble. After putting the three-ring Falun into the mustard space, Liu Dong took out two oxygen tanks, put one on Nancy who was unconscious in his arms, and handed the other to
Roddy next to him.
There is almost no oxygen in the tomb that has not been opened for more than two thousand years. Liu Dong estimated that the giant snake would not have much time to ventilate, so he could only use oxygen tanks.
"Bring it on!"
"Yes, boss!"
Luo Di trusted Liu Dong as always.
After he fastened the oxygen tank, Liu Dong turned around and looked at the bronze door in front of him, his heart moved. Then, through the relic Yuan Guang, he put the thick and heavy bronze door into the mustard space.
Looking at the open door, Liu Dong walked in with expectation on his face.
Rody, who had seen Liu Dong's extraordinary extraordinary methods several times in the ancient city of Herakpus in Egypt, was not so shocked at first.
After taking a deep breath, Rody quickly followed Liu Dong and walked towards the dark entrance.
After the two entered the temple, the bronze door that had disappeared reappeared, as if nothing had changed.
"Boss, you can make a lot of money again this time!"
"Yes!" Looking at the golden light under the strong light of the flashlight, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction.
He did feel very satisfied. On the first floor of this directional temple with a side length of nearly a hundred meters, except for the sixteen giant pillars supported by eight people hugging each other and the aisle with a width of 6 meters in the middle, the rest of the place was basically
The walls are filled with a large number of gold and silver wares, unique bronze wares, exquisite jades and precious stones.
Coming down the steps at the door and walking to the pile of jewelry, Liu Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed a gold chain as thick as an arm. With a shake, the heavy gold chain snaked like a giant dragon in Liu Dong's hand.
Circle around.
With this shake, the length of the chain made of pure gold is revealed.
12 meters should be an accurate number. And the weight is estimated by Liu Dong to be close to one ton!
There are 10 more chains like this next to it!
Not to mention other items such as gold cups, gold bowls, silver lamps, silver chains, gemstone jewelry, etc. As the first dynasty to unify the Indian continent, the wealth of the Maurya Dynasty exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
In this hall, although the value of gold, silver, bronze, gems, ivory, and rhino horn artworks cannot be calculated, the weight of pure gold coins, gold nuggets, and gold sand is no less than 120 tons!
Although 120 tons is nothing compared to the current global gold production level, in the era of backward productivity two thousand years ago, this was already an unimaginable huge wealth!
It is no exaggeration to say that he is as rich as any country.
Of course, these are not all, because this temple is not just the layer that Liu Dong saw. Moreover, the Maurya Dynasty informed the Indian mainland for nearly two hundred years, and accumulated wealth far beyond people's imagination.
Putting down the gold chain, Liu Dong walked to the inside of the hall along the corridor leading directly to the back of the hall. The stone steps leading to the second floor were here.
When Liu Dong and Luo Di entered the second floor of the hall, they discovered that the space here was not as wide as the first floor, or in other words, most of the space was divided!
Except for a square of about 500 square meters in the middle, smooth stones are used to divide the remaining space into eight different spaces in a circle around this square.
In front of each sealed stone door, there is a two-meter-tall bronze statue!
Upon closer inspection, Liu Dong found that the images of these bronze statues were different. Some held weapons such as swords or spears in their hands, while others held jade seals, even Faluns, tokens and the like.
But although the images and expressions of these bronze statues are different, the same thing is that they are almost all dressed in imperial attire.
According to Liu Dong's guess, these bronze statues were made according to the faces of the Mauryan emperors.
Moreover, what is surprising is that no one knows what materials were added to these bronze statues. Two thousand years have passed, and apart from being stained with a thick layer of dust, there is no rust at all.
After quickly scanning the eight bronze statues, Liu Dong's gaze shifted to the center of the space.
There is also a statue of a god four meters high with eight heads and four arms. The one in the east holds a snake, the one in the west holds a scepter, the one in the south holds a flame, and the one in the north holds a spear.
What surprised Liu Dong was that the material used to carve this god was not gold or silver, but a whole piece of high-ice jadeite. Especially on the head of the statue, it reached the transparency and color of glass.
