Wulin Mengzhu

Chapter 209 Choice
Zhao Qingyi in front walked very slowly, Su Xiaowu looked at his blue back, and involuntarily stretched out her hand to grab the hem of his clothes, looked down at his footsteps, and carefully followed his own footprints as he walked past place to step on.

Feeling Su Xiaowu's movements, Zhao Qingyi froze, but then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

There was also a fire behind him, probably Shui Hanguang also ignited the fire, and then he whispered: "There is no way to close this door from the inside."

"Then don't close it, no one should follow us." Zhao Qingyi said lightly. "We should be out before dawn."

Su Xiaowu heard the words and silently added two words in her heart, hope.

The three walked forward slowly.Su Xiaowu didn't dare to touch the stone walls on both sides, for fear of accidentally pressing some mechanism.Due to China's ancient funeral culture, many generals and princes advocated a generous burial, and the clubhouse brought all the treasures and utensils they had during their lifetime, and even their wives, concubines, and maidservants.Therefore, it directly led to the rampant tomb robbers, and the subsequent countermeasure was to build an anti-theft system in the tomb.This point was already very mature in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the tomb of the First Emperor was described as extremely dangerous in the history books.

Although the entrance of the Leshan Giant Buddha is easy to find, it is a dirty hole, but it is difficult to open.If she hadn't used the wrench, it probably wouldn't have been able to be opened by normal means.It is also fortunate that this was built on the chest of the Buddha statue, and it is also fortunate that the Song Dynasty probably did not have high-tech gunpowder technology at this time, or it would not have been spared.Su Xiaowu is now praying because they opened the cave door with normal means, hoping that the anti-theft mechanism will not be touched.

Su Xiaowu's forehead couldn't help but cold sweat gradually seeped out. When she read treasure hunting novels before, she always found this kind of plot very exciting.But when she was on the scene herself, she kept praying in her heart that no accidents would happen.

After walking a few steps, Su Xiaowu found that the air in the corridor was getting less and less thin, and gradually felt that the corridor was extending downwards. After a while, she could raise her head and walk in the corridor, and this corridor should be Leading to the belly of the Buddha.

The scene she was worried about didn't happen, maybe it was really like what Shui Hanguang said, they opened the door with the keys in a regular manner, so they didn't touch the anti-theft system.

After the three staggered for more than ten meters, Zhao Qingyi suddenly stopped and said, "There is a monument here."

Su Xiaowu looked through the light of the fire and found that she had reached the end of the corridor.It's slightly more spacious here, and three people can stand side by side.And what stood in front of them was a dark, half-person-high stone tablet. Under the reflection of the fire, there were several flashing rainbow halos on the surface of the tablet, and there were rows of white inscriptions on it.

"Obsidian?" Su Xiaowu whispered.Obsidian is a very hard crystal. It can be polished into a stele, and there are writings on it. This technology is a bit too advanced, right?
Zhao Qingyi first looked at the stone wall behind the stele, but found nothing.Then he knelt down and gently wiped off the dust on the stone tablet with his hands, and the inscription clearly appeared again.

Su Xiaowu's eyes widened, but she didn't understand.Because the crooked characters on it are seal characters, it is really difficult for those craftsmen to carve such complicated characters on such hard obsidian.

"What are you talking about?" Su Xiaowu asked curiously, because she couldn't understand the words on the tablet, she turned to pay attention to Zhao Qingyi's face, hoping to see some clues.

"It's just the deeds of building the Great Buddha." Zhao Qingyi frowned with a pair of beautiful long eyebrows, obviously not believing what he saw with his own eyes.

"Will there be any word games?" Su Xiaowu pinched her chin and said, "For example, the first word in each line or the first word in each column, will it be another sentence or something?"

Zhao Qingyi looked at it, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to carefully wipe off the dust on the stele, including the grooves of the ligatures.

Su Xiaowu was depressed for a while, then turned to look at the stone walls on both sides of them.Although I dare not reach out to touch it, I can still observe it with my eyes.

"There is a problem with the stele." Shui Hanguang, who had been silent at the back, said after being silent for a while.The other two quickly turned their heads to look at him expectantly.

"You stand in my position and take a look at the stele." Shui Hanguang took a step back to make room for them.

Zhao Qingyi stood up, took a step back, and looked carefully.Then he opened his eyes wide and said, "Sure enough, there is a problem, this is..."

"It's in the shape of '*'!" Su Xiaowu also discovered that the mystery is on the stone tablet. The horizontal or vertical width of many characters is slightly wider than the width of other normal characters. You can't see it at all when you look closely. Just take a step back and look carefully. Look to find out.And the center of this * character is exactly a point in a character.

"The symbol * is one of the 32 images of the Buddha. It is placed on the chest of the Buddha. There are characters '*' to show the Buddha's auspicious appearance, symbolizing auspiciousness, light, holiness and beauty." Shui Hanguang said slowly, his deep voice spread far in the narrow and long corridor, and his excitement could not be concealed.

Su Xiaowu couldn't help clenching her fists, feeling excited.Engraved on the chest?Didn't they come in from the chest of Leshan Giant Buddha?Sure enough, the treasure is here, and the key to the next step lies in the point where the hidden * characters intersect.

Just as Su Xiaowu wanted to ask her to press this mechanism, Zhao Qingyi, who was closest to the stele, took a step forward, stretched out her thumb, put it on the middle point, and pressed it hard.

"Squeak—" The harsh sound of the mechanism echoed in the corridor, and the stele slowly moved forward for a certain distance, and then, under the expectation of the three, it turned 180 degrees and faced them with the back.

"There are also words on the back!" Su Xiaowu whispered, "What are you talking about?" Why are there two small white circles on the left and right besides the inscription, which look like buttons?
Zhao Qingyi looked at it carefully, and still did not forget to tease Su Xiaowu: "Susu, I have been with you for so long, I didn't expect you to be illiterate."

Su Xiaowu was angry because of it, how could she not read?I have studied in modern times for more than ten years, probably more than he has studied, "Speak quickly!" I went out to settle accounts with him, but now that he has the mind to talk to her, it means that there should be no difficulties.

"It's just a choice of left or right," Zhao Qingyi coughed lightly, "you can only choose once, left or right, life or death."

what rice?Does this mean that if you choose the wrong one, you will not see the sun tomorrow?
