However, since the statue is fixed, does it mean that it is an institution? Or some kind of switch? Is there some secret door under this mysterious treasure house? After thinking about it, Luo Jian immediately knelt down on the ground and tried to turn the small statue with a wolf body and a ghost face, but the statue had already been fixed. No matter how hard Luo Jian tried, the statue was nailed to the ground and remained motionless.
Just when Luo Jian was at a loss, the situation he faced had a new change. Luo Jian suddenly heard that the enemies separated by the wall seemed to have taken some action, and there was a huge knocking sound from outside the wall, as if It's as if someone hit the wall with a sledgehammer! Make a boom boom boom!
Luo Jian was terrified by the deafening sound, and turned to look at the wall. Luo Jian was not sure how the revolving door-like mechanism was triggered. At that time, he just leaned against the stone door, and suddenly felt the slight vibration of the stone door, followed by a whirlwind, and the entire wall turned upside down.
If the enemies outside the wall discover this mechanism and find a way to activate it. Then the action they are taking at this moment is definitely not to forcibly break through and break the wall, but to activate the mechanism to flip the wall to achieve the goal.
In other words, Luo Jian still has a little time to find the secret door that may exist in the Treasure Pavilion, and escape from this small secret room before the enemy breaks through the wall.
But here comes the problem.
Luo Jian looked down at the immobile statuette in his hand.
He was sure that this statuette was definitely the mechanism to open the secret door! The reason why he is so sure is because he just walked around this small treasure cabinet a few times and found that everything here is covered with a thick layer of dust, whether it is bookshelf clothes, ceramics, gold and silver treasures or Everything else was covered in a thick layer of dust, but only this figurine was clean... No, rather than being clean, it looked like it had been used by someone!
It feels as if, before Luo Jian came to this treasure house, someone also entered here, and used the mechanism of this statue to open some door! Therefore, some of the dust on this statue was wiped off by someone.
Luo Jian originally thought that when he accidentally kicked the statue, the dust on the statue fell down, but when he tried to move the statue with his hands, he found some man-made traces on the statue. Because of these traces, Luo Jian was very sure that someone had indeed come in before him, in this small treasure house.
However, how did the mechanism of the statuette be activated? And who was Luo Jian who entered here first and activated this mechanism? It's just that Luo Jian has no time to guess who entered this treasure house.
He turned his head to look at the wall that was being pounded violently. Due to the continuous beating, cracks had begun to appear on the wall, and fine stones fell out of the cracks, crashing and falling all over the ground. Luo Jian also heard the voices of the enemies on the other side of the wall talking and shouting loudly. They were very bold and wanted to forcefully break through the blockade of the wall by any means and find Luo Jian!
Luo Jian's back was drenched in cold sweat. He tried his best to ignore the sound of the knocking on the wall, and carefully observed the statue on the ground. He tried to turn the statue left and right, but it was useless. He also tried to press the statue down or lift it up. , but that didn't work either.
Luo Jian swallowed her saliva, climbed down and lay beside the statuette. Although the Treasure Pavilion was illuminated by phosphorescent stones and night pearls, it was really dark. Therefore, Luo Jian randomly snapped a small night pearl from a nearby metal utensil, and then he used the light of the night pearl to lighten the little night pearl in front of him. The statue was illuminated, and Luo Jian had to observe the statue very carefully and find out all the ways that could allow him to activate the mechanism.
Only in this way can Luo Jian survive.
Under the light of the night pearl, Luo Jian found that this small statue was very delicate, only more than 30 centimeters high, and it was a scene of an animal with a wolf body and a ghost face standing on a mountain peak. The animal's ghost-faced head was raised high, like a lone wolf howling at the moon.
Luo Jian stared at the statuette for a second, all of a sudden! Luo Jian seemed to have realized half of the epiphany. He turned his head, raised his head, and looked at the other wall unconsciously. Such a dazzling array of calligraphy and paintings.
And Luo Jian's eyes unconsciously stayed on one of the huge calligraphy and paintings.
Yes! The small statue that does not move no matter how it turns, the animal with a wolf body and a ghost face, and the movement of roaring on its back, are facing this calligraphy and painting! The statue is indeed a mechanism, but it is just a layout that hints at the location of the exit!
Then Luo Jian discovered that this calligraphy and painting was really huge. It was hung vertically on the wall. It was about two meters long and about one meter wide. There was a big moon drawn on this calligraphy and painting, and under the moon was a The cliff peak and a pack of wolves, and... a woman who was cornered by a pack of wolves, standing on the edge of a cliff, holding a baby girl.
Luo Jian was touched by the contents of the calligraphy and painting for a moment, which reminded him of the murals he had seen in the previous tomb and the stories told in the murals. At that time, Luo Jian thought it was just a story about an abandoned baby being raised by wolves, but the facts seemed to be different, for example, the baby's mother did not abandon him.
There may be many versions of the story, for example, being cornered by a group of hungry wolves, in order not to let the child be eaten, the mother put the baby on the edge of the cliff and walked towards the wolves by herself. Of course, it is also possible that the mother put down the baby and jumped off the cliff by herself. Or, the mother holds the baby and jumps into the cliff together.
But whatever the version, the outcome of the story is that the mother probably died and the baby was raised by wolves.
As for why the wolves want to raise a human child, there are various reasons why you can only admire how great nature is.
Luo Jian took a deep breath and did not continue to look at the calligraphy and painting. He walked to the edge of the calligraphy and painting, stretched out his hand to roll up the painting, and found that behind the calligraphy and painting there was a rectangular hole for one person to enter. The inside was pitch black, and it seemed to be another passage. But still don't know where to go.
"There is no secret door, is it just a hole?" Luo Jian frowned, but at this moment he had no time to delay. The wall was almost broken by the enemy, but Luo Jian had to be thankful that the walls in the tomb were built very strong and thick. No matter how the earth shook, the ancient tomb that stood upright for a thousand years still did not collapse. Not to mention the architecture of the ancients... it is a miracle.
Luo Jian didn't delay any longer, and immediately climbed into the hole behind the calligraphy and painting. After entering, he put down the calligraphy and painting and fixed it so that it would not shake anymore. At the same time Luo Jian finished this action, Luo Jian heard the sound of the wall collapsing, It seems that those enemies finally smashed the wall and dug a big hole! But because of too many cracks on the wall, the whole wall collapsed!
The collapse of the entire wall seems to have caused some changes in the tomb. Not only the sound of the mechanism came from the depths of the ground, but also a faint vibration, as if it was an earthquake.
Luo Jian was a little fortunate. Because of the collapse of the wall, the Treasure Pavilion might be destroyed in a large area. Many things inside would be covered by stones and rocks, and it would also cause obstacles to the enemies outside to varying degrees. In short, the wall was smashed , these people are temporarily unable to enter the Treasure Pavilion.
But looking at it the other way around, if Luo Jian didn't find the passage behind the calligraphy and painting, then he might be crushed by the stones that fell down when the wall collapsed, and would die faster instead.
Luo Jian didn't dare to stay any longer. The calligraphy and painting hanging on the other wall didn't seem to be affected when it collapsed, but Luo Jian was right behind the calligraphy and painting, swallowing, lying on the ground in embarrassment, cautiously Dare not make any sound.
Immediately afterwards, after entering the entrance of the cave, Luo Jian crawled inside along the passage! This passage is very small, how small is it? Luo Jian was so small that she could only arch forward in the passage like a caterpillar!
Luo Jian didn't have a flashlight this time, and the narrow passageway was pitch black. Fortunately, he had picked out a night pearl in the Treasure Pavilion before. Although the light was not very bright, it was better than nothing. Moreover, the bead was not big, Luo Jian could bite it in her mouth with her mouth open, so she just bit the Ye Mingzhu in her mouth, put her hands on the ground, and moved forward little by little.
After climbing for a while, the enemies outside seemed to have entered the Treasure Pavilion, because Luo Jian heard footsteps and coughing. Luo Jian speculated that it was probably because the dust was raised too much when they hit the wall, which hindered the vision , but Luo Jian had no way of guessing when they would find the hole behind the calligraphy and painting.
Luo Jian must climb faster and get out of this narrow cave passage as soon as possible, but this place is really too narrow, the more he climbs in, the more depressed Luo Jian feels, and, I don't know if it is an illusion, Luo Jian feels the narrowness The passage of the cave is really getting narrower and narrower. When climbing before, Luo Jian felt that the passage was not so crowded, but when he climbed deeper, Luo Jian felt that his body was being oppressed by rocks in all directions.
"Damn it." After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Luo Jian spat out Ye Mingzhu, raised her head and looked into the depths of the passage, it was pitch black.
The ridiculous thing is that this cave passage is really too narrow. At this moment, Luo Jian can't even turn his head to look behind, and he doesn't know whether those people have found the hole behind the calligraphy and painting, or even whether the other party has followed him. climbed in.
"What should I do? The passage is getting narrower and narrower. If I continue to climb, I might get stuck in it and be unable to move. However, it's impossible to retreat. There are enemies waiting for me behind."
Luo Jian was sweating profusely, and his breathing became heavy. The cave passage may be too narrow, and there was a feeling that the air could not circulate. Luo Jian found that his body had slight symptoms of hypoxia, which made him dizzy There was a burst of blackness in front of my eyes.
"No... no..." Luo Jian shook his head vigorously, lowered his head and took a bite on the back of his hand, using the pain to stay awake. He knew he couldn't back up, even if he was really stuck in this passage, Luo Jian couldn't back up .
"You can definitely go out, Luo Jian, didn't you find out just now? Someone came to the Treasure Pavilion before, and he also found the passage behind the calligraphy and painting, and he also climbed into this passage. Just crawl forward... forward..."
Luo Jian continued to climb forward while comforting himself, and after climbing for a long distance, Luo Jian had to stop, because there was something blocking his way in front of the passage, and the night pearl in his hand illuminated Luo Jian's eyes The object also illuminated Luo Jian's pale face.
"It's over... over..."
Luo Jian stared dumbfounded at the corpse in front of him, and cold sweat flowed down Luo Jian's forehead, which almost shocked Luo Jian at that moment!
Yes, in the narrower and narrower passage, a corpse blocked Luo Jian's way!
Luo Jian couldn't see the face of the corpse, and couldn't even see the upper body of the opponent, because the opponent's body was blocked in the cave, and Luo Jian only saw the two legs and shoes of the corpse! The corpse is basically rotting, only the bones are left, and the clothes and trousers don’t look like modern people. It may be a tomb robber in the past, or it may be a burial person who did not die in this tomb, crawled out of the coffin and wandered around. Looking for an exit, he was stuck in this passage and died.
But no matter what the facts are, for Luo Jian, the appearance of this corpse here is tantamount to meaning—yes, this passage is a dead end!
The corpse blocked Luo Jian's way, ah... maybe there is no way ahead! But it’s not okay to go back, Luo Jian doesn’t know how far he has climbed in this passage, but it may not be far from the Treasure Pavilion, and he can still vaguely hear the voices of some people! what to do? It's all about... being cornered.
