Chapter 011 Four ancient mythical beast halls and unlocking puzzles
Afterwards, both parties took a good rest, and it wasn't until after breakfast at five o'clock in the morning the next day that everyone started to move. To find the correct door, you need to conduct a detailed study of these stone statues.
"When it comes to the study of various ancient formations, my grandfather is the most proficient. Fortunately, I studied with him for a period of time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to cope with the situation in front of me!" After roughly observing the stone statue,
After seeing the situation, Li Zhao couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
"It would take too long for you to come up with so many stone statue combinations alone, and my research on formations is not that bad. Why don't I help you with the calculations to speed up the work?" Min Xiaoyan said
There was another person in the team who knew the formation, and she quickly stepped forward.
Of course Li Zhao wanted this, and the two of them quickly figured out the correct arrangement of the stone statues through joint calculations. The formation that fit this was a relatively simple square array. However, there were 64 stone statues in total.
Most of them need to be moved. It is obviously not enough to rely on less than twenty people on their side. At most, they can only take care of two sides. As for the other two sides, they need to be handed over to the people from Sorosi.
Fortunately, Sorosi also noticed their embarrassment and cooperated by sending a corresponding number of subordinates to help.
Li Zhao's side quickly returned the stone statues in the southeast and northwest directions in a square array, and the people sent by Sorosi also followed suit and completed the restoration of the stone statues in the northwest and northwest directions. With a burst of "click"
With the sound of the sound, the restrictions on the stone gates in all four directions seemed to have been unlocked, and there were some marks on them that were not there before.
"I still know something about this. The seals engraved on the stone gates on all sides must be the green dragon, white tiger, red bird and Xuanwu that represent the four ancient mythical beasts of China. This seems to be mentioned in the biography left by my ancestors.
Yes, but it's up to you to choose." After checking the marks on the stone gates on all sides, Sorosi said pointedly.
"Indeed, although the restriction has been lifted, according to our calculations, we still can't determine which door is the correct path. If it doesn't work, you can wait until you are fully prepared next time. There is no need to be in such a hurry.
Temporarily." Li Zhao responded with a slight frown, but when he could not determine the correct route, he was not willing to make any attempt to risk the lives of his companions.
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. There are some things you can't do or don't want to do, but here you don't have so many scruples. Big Beard, send a few of your men to try them one by one!" Sorosi gave an order.
, his subordinates quickly selected eight suicide squad members, and headed towards the four doors in groups of two.
Seeing this scene, everyone on Li Zhao's side was frightened. They didn't expect that Sorosi would be so indifferent to human life. It was no big deal to sacrifice the life of a subordinate to achieve his goal. But under absolute authority,
No one among his men dared to disobey his orders. On the other hand, they could only feel sad for these people, but they could not interfere in this matter.
Less than ten minutes later, the personnel sent to Baihumen came back first to report the safety of the road ahead. They said that shortly after entering the passage, they came to a hall slightly smaller than this one, but they did not find that there was anything else.
Any passages and stone gates leading to other places came back and returned to life. After a while, other people who went to the third gate also came back one after another, but no one was damaged. This can be regarded as unexpected good news.
.And the news they sent back was exactly the same as the situation at Baihumen. At the end of the passages behind the stone gates everywhere was a hall of almost equal size.
"Four ancient divine beast halls!" Wu Wenzhen seemed to understand something at once, and then said: "In this case, our thinking may have to change. Perhaps only by exploring these four halls in sequence can we know the next step.
What to do next."
The rest of the people also agreed with her opinion, so everyone entered the Qinglong Hall first according to the order of the four mythical beasts. The surfaces of the three walls in the hall were all paved with wall tiles of special materials, but first of all, they aroused everyone's attention.
His attention was drawn to the huge green dragon carved on the wall. This entrenched dragon just happened to completely occupy the entire three walls. Although its dragon eyes were slightly closed, it gave people a vivid feeling, as if those eyes were ready at any time.
It will open and then pounce on it.
The rest of the hall was empty, and there didn't seem to be much worth paying attention to. However, after careful exploration, I discovered that seven bricks in the middle of one of the walls were missing, but I didn't know if these were...
The key to breaking the situation. After having the target, everyone became more meticulous in their search. Finally, a total of five wall tiles were found scattered around several corners of the hall, but the remaining two bricks could be found even if they searched other places.
They couldn't find it either, and when they put the wall tiles back together, they found that two of them couldn't match up.
"What should we do? Could it be that someone has been here before us and took the rest of the bricks out?" Laura put forward this hypothesis thoughtfully at this time.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Although our family has been sending people to keep an eye on these treasure places for hundreds of years, there is no guarantee that something will slip through." Suo Luoxi, who followed Li Zhao and the others, came in.
Shi Ye responded noncommittally.
These fish that slipped through the net naturally included Li Zhao's men, but Li Zhao understood that it was only one or two times at the beginning. Later, when they dispatched a large number of men, although they did not encounter obstacles, it must be the other party's deliberate attempt to let the enemy go.
As a result. However, with his indifferent attitude at this time, he no longer had the positive attitude he had at the beginning, and said perfunctorily: "Then why don't we all go back first? Anyway, after we find these two bricks outside, it won't be too late to come back next time.
!”
But Sorosi immediately objected: "No, how can I give up after finally coming out? I don't know when I will come back next time. Do I have to wait for you to play football for another season? You
I can't afford it, but I don't have the time to spend it with you. Aren't there three other halls that I haven't been to yet? I don't believe that I won't find any more clues there."
"Okay! You are the uncle. Since we have reached this point, then we will accompany you to the rest of the place. But if there is no result, please don't embarrass us." Li Zhao understood that today if
If there can't be any new progress, I'm afraid this old guy won't be willing to accept it, so he can only agree and continue to accompany him. But he starts to make calculations in his heart. No matter whether he can get the job in the future, he must find someone who can take everyone with him.
The only way to retreat is.
Next, the situation in the White Tiger Palace is roughly the same. The only difference is that the totem on the wall is replaced by a huge tiger with white hair. However, its eyes are also closed, and there are also seven missing pieces in the center of the wall.
A brick, I wonder if it has some connection with the previous Qinglong.
Fortunately, they really made a new discovery here. There were eight bricks found, two of which could fit into the Qinglong body, and one of the two bricks left in the Qinglong Hall could also fit into the Qinglong Palace.
Fitted to the white tiger. In this way, although there are still two bricks missing on the Qinglong side, the wall bricks of the White Tiger Palace have just been completely completed.
Just at the moment when the last brick was filled, the eyes of the white tiger on the wall suddenly opened, giving people a feeling that it had come to life. The tiger roar that followed almost deafened everyone's ears.
At the same time, something seemed to jump out from the white tiger totem and quickly float outside. Before everyone could react, it disappeared. When I looked back, I found that the eyes of the white tiger on the wall were closed again.
, and even lost the original sense of agility.
"This is like an interesting jigsaw puzzle!" Laura suddenly thought at this moment, and her words were recognized by most people present.
After that, everyone encountered different situations in the other two halls. They couldn't help but remove all the bricks on the walls of Suzaku Hall and Xuanwu Hall in one go. They were also extremely lucky to find the last two bricks missing from Qinglong.
After a burst of dragon roars, the green dragon also lost its spirit like the three divine beasts before.
After doing all this, there was no other movement in the hall, just like finishing the question but not seeing the next step. However, the calm at this moment was short-lived. While everyone was still scratching their heads, the noisy discussion coming from outside made people confused.
They became excited again and understood that something new must happen.
At this moment, almost all of Sorosi's men were still waiting outside. Just when everyone was about to go out and take a look, someone came in and reported the latest situation: "There's something big happening outside, boss! The water level in the pool at the entrance is dropping rapidly.
, it looks like it will be completely out of water soon.”
At that moment, a large group of people cheered and rushed outside together. When they returned to the square outside, they found that the water in the pool had completely dried up, and they didn't know where the water had gone. This made everyone feel even more confused.
What was surprising was that the river bed exposed underneath was covered with lines that looked like ancient prohibitions. They were glowing with golden luster at this time, as if they could be touched at any time. I don’t know if this was the same as what they had seen before.
The action triggered a certain mechanism, but it is useless to think about it now. Now we can only wait and see what happens.
While everyone was still marveling, Sorosi had already issued an order for the bearded man to send people down to have a look. The people exploring the path were still the same eight people, but he didn't know whether they could be like before this time.
So lucky.
Li Zhao suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness at this moment. He was still hesitating whether to call them out, but it was already too late. He could only blame the eight people for moving too fast.
.At that time, the first person had completely descended to the river bed, and the ground of the river bed changed again at this time. It began to tremble slightly like soft jelly. A slight step on it would leave a very deep hole.
There was a faint fishy odor coming out of the pit.
The eight people who came down also felt the danger at this time, and had already begun to retreat. But before they could take any action, the person walking at the front suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and then he immediately fell into the ground below.
In the mud, he was instantly swallowed up by the entire quagmire amid screams, as if this person had never been here before.
His companion was swallowed up in front of him, causing the other seven people to immediately panic and run back. But then six people followed in the footsteps of the previous person, and only the last person walked.
Got a chance to escape by rope.
Just when everyone thought he could become the only survivor, a tentacle with many fangs suddenly stretched out from the quagmire below and grabbed him, and he was unable to escape the fate of death after all. He was in pain.
Chapter completed!
