The moment the sound rang out, Xia Lei's left eye locked on that direction. /xshuotxt/com
.
. The sight of his left eye also penetrated the layers of grass, and he suddenly couldn't help but laugh at the things in the bushes. What was hiding in the grass was not a person, but a snake.
A false alarm.
Xia Lei avoided the snake's territory and continued walking forward. After about ten minutes, he finally arrived at the foot of the hillside. He finally found the tombstone, which was hidden in the grass, with only half of it left. Thick weeds obscured it, and the broken section was covered with bird droppings. The missing half of the tombstone fell in the grass next to it, and the marks of the cross can be vaguely seen. The stones were covered with moss, and there were Italian characters carved on them with stones or knives. Boring words like Alice came here, I love Leonardo, Peter is a pig.
Italians also like to do this kind of thing.
These scratches also illustrate a problem, that is, although this place is very remote, many people have been here. Maybe the reason why this tombstone broke is because of these unscrupulous visitors.
Behind the broken tombstone is a mound, not very high, about knee height. The mounds are covered with wild grass and there are bird nests built on them. Other than that, there's nothing special about this place. At first glance, it is just an ordinary tomb. The person buried here will not be a high-ranking official or noble, but maybe a carpenter, a butcher, or a farmer, just an ordinary person.
However, Xia Lei couldn't help but get excited at the first sight of such an inconspicuous and ordinary ancient tomb. Because it is almost 90% similar to the ancient tomb that Leonardo da Vinci left on the canvas.
Hundreds of years have passed, and although this ancient tomb has undergone great changes, the hillside and the river opposite are consistent. Add in the crosses carved on the tombstones, and the remaining ten percent can be ignored.
"The map that Leonardo da Vinci left on the canvas is very complicated. It's like a maze. The entrance on the map is under this stone monument. You really have to dig a grave. But before doing that, I have to observe what's going on below." Xia Lei thought in his heart. After this thought, his left eye twitched slightly, awakening his clairvoyance ability.
The soil disappeared from his sight little by little. After a depth of about one and a half meters, a marble slab blocked his view. He tried to see through the marble slab, but unfortunately, he could only see through half of it and could no longer expand. One and a half meters of soil, coupled with the dense marble slabs, was already the limit of his perspective ability.
Everything has its limits, and so does his perspective ability. If there is no limit, he can know the situation on the other side of the ball, and he can even know the situation on the distant planet, but this is obviously impossible.
However, although there is no situation below, the existence of the marble slab is already a reminder. There was no coffin, but a marble slab, which was obviously a fake tomb. Its secret lies beneath that marble slab.
Xia Lei raised his eyes and looked around. It was quiet all around. No one was around as far as he could see. Such a situation made it easier for him to move. He took off his backpack, took out an engineering shovel from the backpack, and started digging the grave.
The soil of the ancient tomb was very soft, so his excavation work was not difficult. He dug shovel after shovel. The pit in front of him became larger and deeper, and the piles of soil behind him became larger and taller.
An hour later, the marble slab was revealed. It was much larger than the pit he had dug. He looked around and quickly discovered that the marble slab looked like a door laid flat in the dirt. But what depressed him was that the marble slab was so thick that even if he stood on the marble slab with his feet, he could not fully see through it.
He estimated that this marble slab was at least one meter thick and weighed hundreds of tons!
This conclusion shocked him. Hundreds of years ago, Europe obviously did not have the tools to move a piece of marble weighing hundreds of tons here. But it still appears here, incredible.
"I'm dizzy. How can I get down from such a big piece of marble?" Xia Lei was worried.
Blasting with an explosive device is the simplest way to solve the problem, but the vibration caused by the blast is not a good thing. It will attract the attention of small town residents and even attract the police. But without the use of explosive devices, even the strongest man in the world would not be able to break it open with a hammer.
Is this a dead end
Xia Lei frowned, and his eyes fell on the marble slate again. Soon, a white thing with a horn protruding from the soil caught his idea. He squatted down and cleaned up the lump of dirt with his hands.
Hidden in the dirt is a ball made of white marble, about the size of a basketball. Half of it is embedded in the marble, and you can make a pit by picking it up. There is a gear in the pit. The gear is made of bronze, but the strange thing is that the teeth on the gear are not ordinary teeth, but letters.
"Is this some kind of mechanism?" Xia Lei was curious, and he pushed the gear with his hand. The tentacle felt heavy and blocked, but it still moved slightly. A letter B on the gear slid partially into the marble, turning into two-thirds of a letter B.
If you can do something, there must be articles.
Xia Lei then pushed the gear hard into the marble. New letters appear one by one, and the feeling of obstruction becomes smaller and smaller. After a few minutes, he pushed the gear a full revolution. However, the marble did not open, and no secret door opened. This gear is like a clever joke, specially designed to tease explorers.
"Impossible, I must have missed something." Xia Lei thought to himself, and then he pushed the gear a full circle. This time there was still no movement.
But at this moment, Lei De's heart moved, and his eyes suddenly moved to the opposite side of the gear. His left eye twitched slightly, and the dirt blocking his vision disappeared from his left eye's field of vision. Then, he made another stone ball made of white marble, which was exactly the same as the one he picked up just now.
Xia Lei couldn't wait to walk over. He cleared away the dirt in that place, and then picked up the white marble ball. Sure enough, underneath the stone ball was the same pit and the same bronze gear. The difference is that the letter that stayed at the top of the bronze gear just now was b, and this one is.
Xia Lei pushed the gear with his hand, and the bronze gear was quickly pushed. He pushed the bronze gear from to. The marble remained motionless.
These two bronze gears are obviously a mechanism, and the letters are also the key to activating the mechanism. But he has tried all the letters, why is there still no movement at all
As he was thinking about it, Xia Lei suddenly thought of the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci. At that moment, he seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on his lips. Then he stood up and walked to the first bronze gear, pushing the gear to move the letters to the top of the bronze gear. After this, he went to the second bronze gear and moved the letters to the top.
Click click click…
A strange sound was heard, and the marble slabs under his feet also shook.
Sure enough, the letters and sum are indeed the password to open the marble slab. Leonardo da Vinci had long left this password in the smiling eyes of the Mona Lisa!
The vibrations became louder and louder, as if there were hundreds of gears turning, generating kinetic energy to open the extremely heavy marble slabs.
Xia Lei didn't dare to stay on the marble stone, so he jumped onto the pit. Just after his feet stood still on the pit, the marble slab in the pit suddenly opened with a bang, revealing a gap about two feet wide. Only then did he realize that it was not one piece of marble, but two pieces pieced together. The workmanship was so exquisite that he didn't even notice the gap between the two marble slabs.
The two marble slabs suddenly retracted a little to the left and right sides, and the soil on the walls of the pit fell down, hitting the ground with a splashing sound. Xia Lei stepped back a little and looked down into the gap between the two marbles. The space under the marble was pitch black, and the light shining down from the gap seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.
Xia Lei used his eyesight enough to penetrate the darkness with his left eye, and then explored downwards through the faint light that fell from the gap. This time he bottomed, but it also shocked him. The space under the marble slab is actually not very deep, but the bottom is filled with bones, whether human or beast, no matter what kind of bones they are, they have been painted black. The light actually reaches the bottom, but the large number of black bones form a black "whirlpool". Their presence makes the light seem to be swallowed up.
Not only are the bones black, but the stone wall below is also black. The space under the black bones, black stone walls, and marble slabs is a black world that seems to swallow everything, not even light can escape.
Xia Lei suddenly remembered Princess Yongmei's description. She was trapped in a dark world, with no sound, no light, no temperature, nothing! She didn't want to stay in there, even for a second.
"With such a design, has Leonardo da Vinci also studied the space inside the box? He knows more than me?" Xia Lei had such a conjecture in his mind.
No matter what, he has come, and even in the most terrifying place, he has to go down and explore to find out.
A few minutes later, Xia Lei used the rock climbing tools in his backpack to even slide to the bottom. Standing on the pile of black bones, he could see the gaps between the marble slabs and the faint light falling from the gaps. Visually, the height from the ground to the bottom is only twenty meters, so it is not bottomless. And he soon discovered that the paint applied to the bones and stone walls was not ordinary paint, it had a certain light-absorbing effect.
Stab! Xia Lei turned on a fluorescent stick. With the light emitted by the fluorescent stick, he quickly discovered the entrance to the passage hidden on a stone wall.
The passage extends forward, and the stone building the passage is also dyed black with black paint. At the end of the glance, this passage exudes an aura of terror.
But just as Xia Lei was observing the passage, the two marble slabs above his head closed with a bang.
