Since Angkor Wat was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1992, it has attracted travelers from all over the world to admire its magnificent architecture and world-famous detailed reliefs.
Le Yuan and Laura came to the Angkor monuments naturally not for tourism. According to the notes left by Laura's father, there were also clues from the unique jasmine flowers that Laura had seen in her memory. The two people came to a dilapidated ruins three kilometers southwest of Angkor Wat.
"What a beautiful temple. From these remaining traces, you can imagine how majestic and magnificent they were when they were built. Time is such a ruthless thing." Laura sighed as she walked among the ruins covered with fallen leaves. .
Le Yuan suddenly jumped to a broken wall, pointed not far away and shouted: "Laura, the one in full bloom over there is the jasmine tree, but it's past the flowering period now. I don't know if it's the one you've seen before. .”
Laura walked to the fruiting jasmine tree and picked a purple-black fruit with her hands. She lowered her head and said, "If these are really the jasmine fruits that my father mentioned, then where is the place where the Triangle of Divine Light is hidden?" Woolen cloth?"
Looking around, the temple has already become ruined due to factors such as war and changes. The temples in the area where they were located had long since become deserted ruins, and if there were any treasures left, they would definitely not be preserved today.
"Thinking divergently, since buildings on the ground are easy to be destroyed, wouldn't it be a good idea to put treasures underground?" According to Le Yuan's perception, there was a huge underground cavity under the feet of the two people. The place where jasmine flowers grow is the closest point to the underground cavity.
After hearing this, Laura carefully inspected this piece of land. Although Le Yuan explained that the underground here was where the Triangle of Divine Light was hidden, it was really not visible on the surface.
“Crack—” Just when Laura stamped her foot suddenly on one of the areas, the ground suddenly collapsed, quickly forming a pit the size of a person.
"Be careful!" Seeing that Laura was about to fall into the pothole, Le Yuan stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
With Laura's kick, a passage connecting to the underground temple was opened. Laura put down the baggage she was carrying, took out a special rope, tied one end to the big tree, and hung the other end into the hole.
"Here!" Le Yuan took out the weapons and ammunition prepared by Elaine and asked Laura to take them with her in case of emergency.
Le Yuan jumped into the cave, and Laura followed closely and lay down bit by bit along the rope. When she followed the cave to the underground temple, she discovered that the temple that should have been extremely dark was now brightly lit, almost the same as on the ground.
Le Yuan had already come to the stone wall on one side and cleaned the dusty stone wall. Then he touched the ancient characters on the stone wall and muttered silently: "When the iron returns to the embrace of the stone, the heavenly wheel will rotate, and the water will dissolve the light. You will gain extraordinary power, but you will be cursed."
"What are you looking at?" Laura also fell to the ground at this time, came to Le Yuan's side and looked at Le Yuan who was interpreting it, and asked, "This is..."
As an explorer, Laura also has a lot of research on Cambodian (ancient Khmer language), and she deciphered the content the next second she saw these words.
Looking at the circular indentation on the stone wall not far away, Laura immediately realized that its shape was almost the same as the one behind the Eye of Eternity.
"Is this the keyhole that opens the hidden treasure? What is the so-called curse?"
"Let's take a look at the surrounding situation first!" Le Yuan felt the reaction of the Time Stone again after entering this underground temple. Compared with the power Le Yuan felt from the Eyes of the Eternal God, this time the fluctuation was much stronger. .
In the center of the temple is a stone bridge with dozens of stone Buddha statues and stone animals placed on both sides. In the center of the stone bridge in the main hall, there is also a hole that can be embedded with the Eye of Eternity.
"Hey, Zack, there is also something that looks like a keyhole here. Which one is it?" Laura squatted on the ground and touched the hole in the ground with her hands, and asked the person who was observing the huge three-headed and six-armed Buddha statue in front of the temple. Le Yuan.
Le Yuan jumped to the top of the golden Buddha statue and looked in the direction of the head in the center. He saw that the huge stone chain hanging on the ceiling in the center of the hall could form the shape of the Eye of Eternity while it was still rotating. And what you see through the hole of the Eye of Eternity is the keyhole located above.
"The real keyhole should be the one above, but the keyhole below is not completely useless." Le Yuan jumped back to Laura's side and pointed to the six bars on the side of the circular platform in the center of the stone bridge. Hollow said: "What do these six holes look like to you?"
Laura gestured at the size of the hole, then swept her eyes across the empty temple, and finally focused on the six swords held by the hands of the Buddha statue.
"Are they those six bronze swords?" Laura asked happily.
Le Yuan nodded and scanned the entire temple again. The true location of the Divine Light Triangle was discovered by him just now, in the stone bridge under Laura's feet. However, Le Yuan couldn't understand some of the mechanisms no matter how he analyzed them, and he didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused if they were taken out forcibly.
"How about it, shall we do it now? According to father's notes, it should be two years before the Triangle of Divine Light can be taken out." Although she said this, Laura herself was already eager to try, as if she couldn't wait to solve this problem with her own hands. Mystery.
"Laura, how long do you think this temple is?" Le Yuan asked instead without taking action.
"This temple?" Laura carefully looked at the carving styles in the surrounding temples and the traces of corrosion on the stone carvings. She touched her chin and said with some uncertainty: "Do we know the historical distance of the Angkor Wat ruins from now?" It has a history of almost more than 800 years, and this temple should have been built before then. Judging from the carving style and degree of weathering, it should not be more than a thousand years ago."
A thousand years, a very long history. But that is nothing compared to the legend of the Divine Light Triangle. The opening of the Divine Light Triangle must be the Nine Stars First Line that occurs only once every five thousand years, and what is certain is that putting the fragments of the Divine Light Triangle into it definitely did not occur during the Nine Stars First Line period.
"If we just take out the fragments of the Divine Light Triangle, I think time is not important. The important thing is to reorganize the Divine Light Triangle at the critical moment of the Nine Stars, so we can take it out now."
Hearing Le Yuan's affirmation, Laura happily drew her sword from the golden Buddha statue, took down the huge copper swords one by one, and then inserted them into the cracks in the ground one by one.
Le Yuan took this opportunity to come to the keyhole above and pressed the Eye of Eternity into it. I saw that the Eye of Eternity fit perfectly into the hole, but there was no reaction at all.
"What's wrong, is it really the wrong time?" Laura shouted looking at Le Yuan's back.
"How could it be wrong!" Le Yuan felt that everything was ready, and the mechanism was just one step away from being activated. The right hand gathered the true energy and struck it fiercely on the Eye of All Worlds. The true energy entered the mechanism through the Eye of All Worlds.
A red light flashed through the keyhole, and then the Eye of Eternity began to rotate counterclockwise. After a circle, the copper swords inserted vertically into the ground fell towards the outer circle one after another. A crossbar in mid-air was released and hit the transparent tank containing green liquid in the hand of the Buddha statue.
Just when the metal firing pin on the crossbar was about to collide with the transparent cylinder, due to the passage of time, the force of the crossbar device was no longer enough to complete the impact.
"What should I do? The wood can't penetrate that vat!" Laura shouted anxiously from below. They had already reached this point, but God was playing tricks on them as if they were joking.
Le Yuan raised his right hand and used the object control technique to connect the dragon ring with the crossbar. When the crossbar swung back again, Le Yuan's right hand slowly pulled back, and then used his strength to violently push the crossbar out.
The metal striker pierced the transparent cylinder, and the green liquid rushed out like a fountain. However, as the liquid leaked out, the transparent cylinder seemed to boil, and the entire transparent cylinder seemed to turn into a huge incandescent light bulb, white light Together with the strong wind, it whistled towards Le Yuan and his wife.
The scattered eight-color light slowly gathered, and then formed a circular light pillar that shone in the center of the stone bridge. The semicircular protrusion in the center of the stone bridge suddenly exploded, and a brighter beam of light surged from bottom to top.
After the light dissipated, a strange liquid like mercury slowly emerged from the explosion hole and floated into the air bit by bit in violation of the earth's gravity. A broken triangular metal object appeared from the liquid, and Le Yuan used an object control technique to make it fall into his hands.
"Is this half of the Triangle of Divine Light?" Looking at the legendary divine object right in front of her, Laura was so excited that she wanted to dance.
The Triangle of Divine Light was taken away, but the strange liquid did not stop moving. These strange liquids seemed to be alive, flowing towards the surrounding stone statues.
The strange liquid climbed up the body of the stone statue little by little, and then penetrated through the holes in the eyes of the stone statue. Then all the stone statues that were originally dead came to life.
There are swords or guns in the hands of the stone statues. Compared with their bodies that seem to break at the touch of a touch, these weapons have not decayed at all with the passage of time and are still full of lethality.
"Bang bang bang—" Before Le Yuan could start fighting, the two guns in Laura's hands had already been fired mercilessly at the approaching stone statue.
After more than a dozen bullets, a stone statue was shattered into pieces. Judging from Laura's appearance, Le Yuan didn't need to worry at all.
As all the stone statues are activated by the strange liquid, the battle between Le Yuan and the group of guardians of the gargoyles is about to break out.
