C1609 The Stone Door Slowly Descended
Sigh, an expert is an expert, it's not something we can understand.
Gao Fei sighed with admiration in his heart. He smiled coyly at Master Loong and said, "Oh, I'm going down to take a look first."
Master Loong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's go together. "Yun'er, you come as well."
Loong Yun'er wasn't willing to follow Gao Fei any further. However, after hesitating for a moment, she still snorted and quickly walked to the tunnel entrance and descended the ladder in front of Gao Fei.
Gao Fei, who was about to go down, could only stop and think: It's just going down to have a look, not to eat a big meal.
As he got closer to Loong Yun'er, Gao Fei realized that there was a faint trace of green on her white face. She looked abnormal, but when she lowered her head, her neck was as white as snow, so warm that it looked like creamy.
Loong Yun'er walked down the stairs for two steps before raising her head and extending her hand. "Come on, grandfather. Let me help you."
Gao Fei then understood that the reason she went down the ladder first was to support Master Loong. She immediately said, "Actually, I can help Master Loong."
"You have such thoughts?"
Loong Yun'er said lightly.
"Not before you said it."
Gao Fei answered honestly.
"Now that I have it, I can."
Master Loong had a mysterious smile on his face. He patted Gao Fei's shoulder and walked away.
This one old and one young, both seemed a little abnormal. The little one had hostility towards me for no reason, but when I offended his granddaughter, the old one didn't get angry and instead revealed a 'reasonable' expression.
Mr. Gao praised in his heart. He invited Lee Chengming to be the third to go down before following him.
In the dark tunnel below, there were also lights that were as bright as day. There were many professional tools of the earth department. The moss on the stone door that made Soong Chenggaang die a horrible death was carefully cleaned by someone, revealing the original face of the statue above.
As for the poisonous sewage flowing out from under the stone door, it had already been cleaned up.
Just as Loong Yun'er had said, a triangular, irregular hole had appeared in the eye area of the big and tall horse that King of Rann Wei was riding on.
It seemed like this was the keyhole that could open the stone door from the outside.
With gloves on, Lee Chengming walked up to the stone door and pointed at the keyhole with a small wooden stick, introducing, "This keyhole was discovered by Jack. It was originally blocked by mud and other things, and it was also sealed with a layer of broken stone, just like the stone door. It was impossible to see it at all."
With that, Lee Chengming looked at Master Loong.
Master Loong looked towards Loong Yun'er.
Loong Yun'er really didn't want to explain anything to Gao Fei, but since her grandfather was present, she walked over reluctantly and took the small wooden stick from Lee Chengming's hand. She looked coldly at Gao Fei, pointed at the horse eyes and said, "The portrait carved on the stone door, in the eyes of some ignorant people, at most, they just think that this is the scene of how King of Rann Wei killed the Hu."
"But he definitely did not expect that when Daoist Priest Guansong designed the stone door, he would hide the mechanism to open the door in the eyes of a horse using the trajectory of the constellation."
Loong Yun'er looked at her grandfather and realized that he was still smiling and didn't blame her for mocking him. She then continued, "Only those who have a deep understanding of the 'Revolving Star Passage Technique', which is commonly known as the Five Devils' Carrying Technique, can discover this secret."
Loong Yun'er blinked her eyes and sighed. "Sigh, unfortunately, even after searching through every nook and cranny of the area, we still couldn't find the key to the stone door."
"Maybe the stone door doesn't have a key at all, it's just a method that Taoist Rao Liu used to confuse the tomb robbers."
As Loong Yun'er said that, her gaze turned to Gao Fei's face. She noticed that he was staring at the eye of the horse in a daze, seemingly deep in thought.
What are you pretending for?
Loong Yun'er curled her lips and was too lazy to say anything else. She handed the small wooden stick to Lee Chengming and walked to Master Loong's side. However, she found her grandfather was staring at Gao Fei with exactly the same expression as him.
What happened to his grandfather? Did he think that he could find the key?
When Loong Yun'er thought of this, Gao Fei walked in front of the stone door. After staring at the keyhole for a long time, he slowly said, "Maybe, I know where the key is now."
Keep boasting, you ignorant fellow!
Loong Yun'er curled her lips again. If it wasn't for her guarding Master Loong, she would definitely have ridiculed him.
Lee Chengming and the other soil experts did not have any intention of ridiculing Gao Fei. However, they did not believe Gao Fei's words.
Master Loong, on the other hand, walked over with a serious face and said thoughtlessly, "Try it – there are many mysterious things in the world. The reason why no one has discovered them all these years is because they are waiting for the fated one. Perhaps, you are the one who was not proficient in the Mysterious Gate Armor, but was able to open the door and enter. "
"My luck has always been good."
Gao Fei wasn't modest. He slowly bent down and lifted the pants on his right leg.
He couldn't be trying to put his foot through the keyhole, could he?
When the corner of Loong Yun'er's mouth twitched, she saw Gao Fei slowly pull out a black thing from his ankle.
This is the Killing Spur.
A sharp weapon similar to a military thorn, it had three slashes in three directions, and its bloody groove was even deeper. It was even more lethal than a modern military thorn, an absolute divine weapon.
After Gao Fei got the Killing Spur, it could be said that he couldn't bear to let go of it. He made a set and put it on his right ankle as a military thorn.
Seeing Gao Fei take out the black Killing Spur, the sarcasm in Loong Yun'er's eyes disappeared and was replaced with disbelief and shock!
She didn't even need to look to know that this black weird weapon was the key to open the stone door. She couldn't help but ask, "Ah, you, how did you get it?"
"Am I the fated person Master Loong mentioned?"
Gao Fei did not look at her and chuckled. He raised the Killing Spur and slowly inserted it into the keyhole.
Stitch seams.
When the Killing Spur stabbed into the keyhole, the metal made a friction sound with the stone door. It was so heavy, just like how the wheel of history had been pushed back for more than a thousand years, returning back to the time when Taoist Luowang designed the stone door's mechanism for King of Rann Wei's tomb.
The Killing Spur slowly pushed forward, heavy yet not sluggish, until it reached the position of the guard, only then did there was a soft click, and it was impossible to push. It was just that the key had entered the keyhole, and it only needed to turn a few rounds to open the stone door.
After seeing this, those experts were extremely excited, and they all silently clapped to congratulate him.
The big guy had been here for several days, studying all day long. His beard had grown long, but he still hadn't found his way in.
What kind of world was behind this strange stone door?
It was just as Lee Chengming said (what he got, was all from Shen Yinbing), there was a tomb made of rare black jade, there was a mouse bigger than a dog, and there was a rare Blood Python that was blind?
All of the things Lee Chengming said had fascinated everyone for a long time, including those ferocious monsters. No matter how strange those things were, they were nothing more than flesh and blood. They couldn't withstand a submachine gun's barrage.
"Wait."
Just as Gao Fei was about to turn the Killing Spur to the right, Master Loong suddenly spoke.
Gao Fei immediately stopped moving and looked at him with the side of his face. He said very politely, "Master Loong, do you have any other questions?"
"This is the key to open the stone gate, counterclockwise, that is, left and right four times (the celestial body runs according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and after each season, the constellations will move accordingly." This is the key to open the stone gate, anti-clockwise, that is, left and right four times (the celestial body runs according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter), after each season, the constellations will move accordingly.
Master Loong said, "But before the stone door opens, I want to ask Director Gao to promise me one thing first. Even if it's our ancestors who came to the mainland to pay us, what do you think?"
"Hehe, Master Loong, you are my grandfather's VIP. No matter what you want me to do, I will do my best!"
Gao Fei smiled. Although his tone was light, but he was very determined: "Say it, what do you want me to do?"
Master Loong casually glanced at Loong Yun'er, who was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "I didn't think of that."
"You haven't thought of it yet?"
Gao Fei was stunned for a moment and thought: "Oh, he's using me like Aladdin on his Divine Lamp. If there's any difficulty, he'll just rub it open and shout out 'Divine Lamp' and help me do something. Luckily, you only have me do one thing for you."
Without waiting for Master Loong to say anything, Gao Fei straightforwardly said: "Ok, then Master Loong, when did you think of it? Tell me and I will help you deal with it."
Master Loong nodded and took a step back. "Sure, you can open the door now as I tell you."
"Ho – hu!"
Gao Fei took a deep breath, grabbed the Killing Spur with both of his hands and slowly began to turn it counterclockwise.
At first, it wouldn't turn.
Gao Fei added a bit more strength, this time the Killing Spur slowly tilted.
In next to no time, they had completed a full circle.
Two laps, three laps, four laps... When the Killing Spur was about to complete its fourth lap, a slight cracking sound came from within the lock.
Following that, the Killing Spur began to automatically retreat. Faint rumbling sounds came from the ground as well.
It was the sound of a mechanism opening.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
With a loud creaking sound, the stone door slowly moved back until it was about two meters inside the passageway. Then, it slowly started to sink.
The stone door was originally hidden underneath the passageway. Once the place where it landed on was destroyed and it was unable to seal itself and fall down, then all of the mechanisms in the entire Riverbed Tomb might fail and they would not be able to enter again.
"Get into position, everyone, get ready!"
Lee Chengming, who was well-prepared, shouted as he saw the door slowly fall. Seven criminals armed with helmets pointed their submachine guns at the entrance of the passageway.
The seven men were divided into two rows, with the first three kneeling on one knee and the last four standing so that when they fired they could form a net of fire without loopholes.
He believed that the rats in the passageway that Gao Fei could kill with his sword would not be able to withstand the bullets.
As for Master Loong, his grandsons and the other soil experts, they all obediently stood by the ladder.
Gao Fei was standing at the side of the passageway. Carrying the Killing Spur, he calmly looked at the slowly descending stone door.
Loong Yun'er stared at Gao Fei and thought about it. She then realized that her grandpa was smiling at her. His green face immediately blushed.
As the stone door fell down inch by inch, Lee Chengming's palms that held the gun started to sweat.
Although the rats were afraid of bullets, it was very nerve-racking before they showed up: a rat bigger than a dog would pounce out of a stone door with a squeak. How scary was that?
