After more than ten seconds, Richard lifted the square pillar made of transparent liquid and saw that the surface was not stained with any powder and was as bright as new. Comparing the square pillar with the blood-colored seal, we found that they were exactly the same in shape and size, except that some of the lines at the bottom were different.
With his eyebrows twitching, Richard took out the dye from the space iron ring, applied it to the surface of the transparent square pillar, and printed the pattern on the white paper.
After the printing was completed, I saw that the square pillars were "cloned" by indirect means and were not the original ones. Therefore, the graphics are not very clear, and only one line of words can be vaguely seen, which should be a new clue: blue is water, red is fire, water and fire are in harmony, both are indispensable - thangka.
Richard scanned the text and started thinking.
Blue represents water, red represents fire, which should refer to the blood-colored seal in his hand, and the other... blue seal.
The combination of water and fire is indispensable. It should be said that these two seals must cooperate with each other to achieve a certain purpose. Not surprisingly, it should be the opening condition of the ancient ruins that Soros and Thangka once explored together.
If this is true, then it means that the speculated blue seal should be placed here, otherwise there is no need to leave traces
Now that there are traces left, but the blue seal is not there, there is only one possibility, and that is that it was taken away.
The person who took it away was not the thangka, but the person who visited the tomb.
But if that's the case, there's one thing to be clear about. That is, on the way he broke in, he found no traces of the battle where other people broke in, and not even a single trap was triggered.
Could it be that the person who took the seal was a ghost
or…
Thinking of this, Richard suddenly raised his head and looked at a wall in the stone room. His weak prediction ability came into play at this moment, and he gave the answer almost at the same time as his brain.
"Or maybe there are other passages here." Richard said.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes sharpened, without hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding air suddenly compressed and hit the wall heavily.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound and the wall shook slightly.
As if some switch was triggered, the next moment, with a "crash", several marble blocks on the wall slid open, revealing a small door about two meters high and about one meter wide.
"Really..." Richard looked at it, moved his eyebrows, reached out to put away the only thing in the tomb - the stone box, and stepped into the small door.
Inside the small door is a corridor.
He kept walking along the corridor, and after a long while, he appeared in front of a red and blue metal gate without encountering any danger.
The metal gate looks very heavy, and its surface is engraved with magic patterns. Some magic patterns even spread to the walls of the surrounding corridors, forming a whole. It seems difficult to destroy with ordinary spells.
This is a bit like the door in the basement where Aaron Pangbo was hiding in St. Louis... Richard thought about it and frowned slightly.
The door to the Pangbo family used to be verified with the blood of a direct descendant of the Pangbo family. So what kind of verification can this door be passed now
Is he going to turn around and walk back
Just as he was thinking about it, Richard noticed that there were two small holes in the middle of the metal door, one red and one blue, a bit like mini nostrils. It looked like they could fit a seal just right.
After pondering for a moment, Richard took out the blood seal, inserted his hand into the red hole on the left, tried to twist it, and then took it back.
"Click!"
With a sound, the metal door suddenly opened from the middle, revealing the world behind the door.
Richard didn't hesitate and stepped out.
With a "bang" sound, the metal door automatically closed behind him, blocking him out.
Without much surprise, Richard stood behind the door and looked around. After looking around, he found that he was on the mountainside of a mountain in the White Valley Mountains.
Taking a closer look, he was sure that the mountain he was on was the same mountain he entered from the top of the mountain.
Everything can be explained clearly.
Thangka's tomb is obviously in the heart of the mountain where he is located. Unlike other tombs, the tomb has two entrance passages.
The first passage, the one he initially explored, was quite troublesome and dangerous. It would be difficult for a weak person to successfully explore it. The second passage is the one he just walked through. It is very smooth and has no trouble. However, one problem is that you need to find a way to open the metal gate at the entrance to enter.
Thinking of this, Richard turned around and looked at the metal door coming out.
You can see that on this side, the metal gate looks like a stone wall, which is very ordinary.
However, there are dense footprints all around the ground, which is very eye-catching.
Richard turned his attention to the footprints on the ground and found that most of the footprints were very clear. Based on the shape and depth of the feet, he could tell that they were a large group of men and women, and the number was definitely more than five. The most important thing is that it can be calculated that the time when this group of people appeared was definitely not more than twenty-four hours, and it was probably within the last twelve hours.
So…
Richard integrated all the information:
Now it is certain that the person who left behind his footsteps arrived here not long ago. After arriving, the other party probably used some special method to open the stone door, entered the tomb directly, and obtained the blue seal. After getting it, the other party goes back the same way, opens the stone door in the same way or uses the blue seal, walks out, and leaves here.
He took a step slower. Compared with the other group of people, they were a step slower, and as a result, they missed the blue seal.
If he could have come one day earlier, he would have been able to get the blue seal in advance, and he would not have been so upset.
But, having said that, he didn't gain anything - he could see some important things from the other party's actions.
For example, the other party did not enter through the passage at the top of the mountain, but chose to enter through the passage on the mountainside. This shows that the other party has a certain understanding of the thangka tomb and knows some inside information.
It is further speculated that the other party should know about the ancient ruins. After all, the blue seal in the thangka tomb is of no use other than opening the ancient ruins.
If so, maybe he should cooperate with the other party.
After all, the blood seal is with him, and the blue seal is with the other party, and the other party also has a lot of inside information. According to the information left in the thangka tomb, the entrance to the ancient ruins is likely to be an enhanced version of the current metal door of the tomb. It cannot be opened with only one of the two seals, and can only be opened by the cooperation of the two - one is indispensable. .
This is a matter of mutual benefit.
But here comes the question, who is it that got the blue seal? How to find each other
Li Cha raised his head and squinted at the bloody setting sun in the west. With a thought, Richard suddenly recalled what the bartender in the tavern had said before.
"... Speaking of which, there was a large group of people trying to find the tomb of the thangka wizard last night. They rested in my tavern... They... had a very tough attitude, so I was quite impressed by them... "
last night? A large group of people
If the person who takes the blue seal is what the bartender calls a large group of people. Last night, the other party was resting in the tavern. No surprise, he would leave the tavern this morning, come to this place to open the tomb, and take away the blue seal... Then everything will be correct... Richard's eyes lit up little by little. .
The next moment, he didn't hesitate. With one step, his body flew towards the tavern at high speed, preparing to have a "talk" with the bartender again.
