I screamed out of instinct, and the hernia lamp suddenly fell to the ground. Just as I was about to retreat, Chen Mo grabbed my forearm.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a giant door." Chen Mo picked up the hernia lamp and squatted down next to me and said.
I started to look closely at that big grimace.
Even though I was mentally prepared, seeing this face up close still made my adrenaline surge and my heart beat wildly.
As Chen Mo said, this is a huge door. The material should be the same as that of the corridor. It feels like it is carved on the same stone.
There are complicated pictures and texts cast on the door, and densely packed strange characters are written on the shading. The main pattern is a round human face, and the edge of the circle is a circle of continuous arc patterns. The main pattern is made of numerous conical protruding nipples.
The lines form a twisted human face pattern, and the breast nail lines are connected by circular lines.
There was a strong smell of blood on the door, mixed with the rotting smell of a sticky cave.
It turns out that the stench that was blowing in the wind just now originated from here.
"It's really strange. This door looks very old, but the paint used to write the hieroglyphics is very new. It feels like someone just painted it not long ago." Wang Zhishui observed for a while, "Jisheng, these words
, can you get a rough idea?"
Zhang Jisheng held his eyes, took a step forward, covered his nose and leaned close to the giant door to study. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head and stepped back.
"You can't see anything, but these words seem to be three-dimensional." Zhang Jisheng said.
"Three-dimensional? What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"It is three-dimensional text. Our existing texts, such as English, German, and French, are one-dimensional text with only left and right structure, while Chinese characters are two-dimensional text with up, down, left, and right structure. The so-called three-dimensional text refers to pictures and texts.
Integration is a structure of up, down, left, right and front." Xiangyu said.
"That means that the characters on this are more profound than our Chinese characters? In the land of China, there are actually characters that are more profound than Chinese characters?" I was a little surprised.
"We have previously speculated that this is the tomb of King Cancong or the palace. If this is the case, then there is a high probability that the writing on it is the writing of the ancient Shu Kingdom." Wang Zhishui looked a little excited.
"In the current archaeological excavations, very few characters from the ancient Shu Kingdom have been discovered. If we can prove that this is the tomb or palace of King Cancong, then these characters will help us further understand the ancient Shu Kingdom," Zhang Jisheng said.
.
"Should we open the door and take a look? Didn't you infer that the altar and the ancient temple are very close to each other and may even be one? We came from the direction of the altar, so is there an ancient temple behind this door?" Xiang Yu
suggested.
Wang Zhishui and Zhang Jisheng agreed immediately, and I nodded.
The old man said nothing.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, stood there with his brows furrowed and still said nothing.
Wang Zhishui took out his gloves from his backpack and put them on, ready to push the giant door. But the moment his hand touched the door, Xiangyu suddenly said: "Look, this face is moving!"
I looked up and saw that the distorted human face pattern on the bronze door seemed to relax, revealing a strange smile.
Suddenly, there was a loud "rumbling" sound, my feet became unstable, and my whole body shook along with the corridor.
"It's a landslide, everyone, be careful," Zhang Jisheng shouted.
After shaking for about ten seconds, the light coming from the entrance of the cave behind us suddenly disappeared, and the corridor returned to stability.
"The entrance to the cave is blocked by huge rocks." The old man spoke.
When Zhang Jisheng, Chen Mo and I heard this, we all returned to the entrance of the cave. Sure enough, the entrance of the cave was sealed by a big stone. We tried to push the boulder out of the hole, but it was like a fly shaking a tree. The boulder did not move at all.
"What should I do?" Xiangyu was about to cry.
No one spoke a word, and the narrow corridor was eerily quiet. I could almost hear my own blood flowing, and I could feel everyone's emotions getting more and more tense.
"We can only go in here and see if there is an exit." After a long time, Zhang Jisheng pointed to the huge door.
"But, it doesn't look like there is an exit through this door." Xiangyu looked very depressed.
"If there is an ancient tomb behind the door, then the size of the tomb must be quite large. In ancient times, when craftsmen built ancient tombs, they would leave a way for themselves to survive." Wang Zhishui said, "Let's go in and give it a try. Anyway, there is no other way.
gone."
At this time, the liquid on the door had flowed along the door leaf to the ground, leaving stains all over the floor.
"That's true, but the biggest problem now is how to open this giant door. I don't know if the liquid on it is poisonous. Even if it is not poisonous, looking at the size of the giant door, it is not something that a few of us can push through.
It looks like it's open." Xiangyu said worriedly.
At this time, Wang Zhishui walked to the door and pushed the door hard, but there was no response from the giant door.
Zhang Jisheng and I put on gloves and stepped forward to help, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't move the giant door even a bit.
"What should I do? This door can't be opened. There really is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back." Zhang Jisheng said.
"The paintings on this door are the twenty-eight constellations." The old man who had been in the corner suddenly came forward.
"Red belongs to the Southern Suzaku. Today is the summer solstice, so it should be the Wu Horse or the Xingri Horse. My eyesight is not good. Can any of you go up and touch the place directly below to see if there is a pattern of a diamond shape with a long tail.
"
The old man's words made us a little confused, but Chen Mo was already squatting in front of the door, groping under the door with his hands.
After coming for a while, he turned around and shook his head at the old man.
Disappointment flashed across everyone's faces, and the old man was also confused, staring blankly at the giant door.
Suddenly, his expression changed, as if he suddenly realized, "So that's it." Then he smiled knowingly and said to Chen Mo, "It's not directly below, it's directly above."
The old man looked at us again and said, "Would any of you give me a leg up?"
I looked at the top of the door. It was about one story high from the ground. It really needed to be stepped on.
"Come on, Chen Mo, stand on my shoulders. I have been out doing archaeological work all year round, and my physical strength is not bad. You are not big, so I should be able to support you. Zhou Cangjisheng, you two are on both sides to protect me from shaking."
Wang Zhishui walked to the front immediately, half-crouched and let Chen Mo step on his shoulders. Chen Mo did not hesitate and stepped on him immediately.
The two of us held Wang Zhishui on both sides to keep his body balanced.
Chen Mo was groping around when suddenly, he heard a muffled "boom" and the door slowly opened.
At this moment, there suddenly was a huge force behind the door, dragging us inside.
All of us seemed to have lost gravity for an instant and were sucked in by the giant door.
