Chapter 103 The face with the rolled eyes

I suddenly thought of something. The mechanism of the Liuyi Lunmen we saw in the ancient tomb of the island was built by Xu Fu. So who built these mechanisms similar to the Liuyi Lunmen we saw at this time? When the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom and the Zhou Dynasty fought, it was more than 800 years earlier than Xu Fu's birth. The Luoshu and Qimen Lunjia techniques are both things that have been preserved in ancient times. So in this way, how did Xu Fu understand the structure similar to the Liuyi Lunmen? Could it be that he is really a genius who has learned no knowledge, or, is Xu Fu once here?

Wen Mo jumped off the stone statue's feet, "Can you help me make two torches?"

"Ah?" I was a little confused. "For lighting, we have flashlights. Isn't this better than a torch?"

Wen Mo shook his head, "It's not lighting, I have other uses!"

"Okay, okay," Wen Mo would not make pranks. Since he wanted it, there must be his reason. Shi Tao and I began to find ways to make torches. We didn't expect to use this kind of thing at all, so we were completely unprepared. Now we suddenly want to make torches, let alone anything else, there is nowhere to find the most basic material of torches!

Shi Tao pointed to the ancient battlefield behind, "I'll go there and take a look, maybe I can find a piece of flagpole that can be used."

I nodded, but didn't have much hope. After all, it has been a thousand years. Not to mention those flagpoles, even the suspension bridges on the moat have decayed.

Kong Xue and I found some medical alcohol from our equipment, which may be used as a combustion aid.

Soon Shi Tao walked back from the ancient battlefield. I saw a ball of flocs in his hand, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a flag or a clothing. And his other hand was actually holding two sticks. I was delighted that Shi Tao really found the right material.

But until I walked in, Shi Tao shook the things in his hand, I didn't see clearly that the stick-shaped object in his hand was actually two thigh bones. Kong Xue and I were both startled. I subconsciously took a step back, "Brother Tao, what do you mean? You might as well use this thing to make a torch, right?"

Shi Tao raised the thigh bone in his hand and looked at it, "What's the matter? Don't think that this is a human bone. Just think that this is a horse bone, and a cow bone is enough. A person who fights back is still afraid of bones?" He said that, and handed over one.

To be honest, since Qilian Mountains, after experiencing so many things, I don’t know why, but I gradually became less afraid of corpses and all kinds of things began to be commonplace, but only human bones, every time I see them, it makes me feel cold.

I was consciously overcoming this situation myself, so although I was a little scared, I still took the leg bone over. We wrapped the floc that Shi Tao found on the leg bone with a bandage, poured some alcohol, and a little with a lighter, and the red flame immediately rose up. Holding the torch we made, except that the place we held was gray and looked a little weird, the others seemed quite touching.

We handed the torches to Wen Mo. Wen Mo inserted the two torches at the feet of the two stone statues. I walked over and looked carefully and found that there was a round groove at the feet of the two stone statues, and it should be appropriate to put an ordinary torch on it.

But the builders who were killed by the time could not have thought that a few people made a torch a thousand years later had bone joints, so our torch was a little too late to put in, so we had to trim it with a knife before putting it into the two round grooves.

The fiery red flames jumped under the feet of huge stone statues on both sides. Only then did we realize that the special position of the torch was almost between the feet of the stone statue. In this way, the shadows illuminated by the torch took a strip-like shape.

The shadows of the torches on both sides appear at an angle. The two shadows cross on the ground.

Wen Mo walked to the carved positions of the human faces on the ground and nodded, "It should be this."

We also hurried over and took a look and found that the intersection of the two shadows was just covering a human face carving on the ground. I asked Wenmo: "This human face is the key to finding the entrance?"

Wen Mo nodded, "Let's go to the stone walls on both sides to find the expression corresponding to the carving of the human face on the ground."

So Kong Xue and I, Shi Tao and Wen Mo, looked for the corresponding faces according to what Wen Mo said. Soon we both heard Shi Tao's shouting, "I found it! Here!"

We ran over and saw that on the stone wall, there was a expression exactly the same as the face marked on the ground. This was a face with rolling eyes, which was quite realistic, and vividly showed a look of needing a beating.

But we searched for a while in the stone wall but didn't find any entrance. We felt very strange. Could it be that we were looking for the wrong one? We probably didn't know. Wen Mo's approach and the way to find the results are reasonable and natural, and it is really like the correct answer.

I looked at the face on the stone wall carefully with a flashlight. I always felt that this face was a little different from other carvings. I went to the side to find another carving of human faces, looked carefully, remembered all the details in my mind, and then returned to my original position. After this comparison, I finally found that there was indeed a little difference between these two faces in terms of carving techniques except for expressions.

Kong Xue asked curiously: "Zhuoran, what are you doing?"

Shi Tao came over, "Have you discovered anything?"

I nodded, "A little bit, but I still need to verify it." As I said, I looked at several human faces carved on the stone wall in succession. Sure enough, all other human face carving details were the same, but the human face we found had a little special point.

I returned to where I was just now, and everyone else came over. Kong Xue looked at me with a smile and said, "Looking at your expression, you must have known something?"

I also smiled, "Have you noticed that almost all human faces have only eyes carved, but no pupils! And this one is the only one," and said, I pointed my hand at the face on the stone wall in front of me. "There is only this face, with pupils carved, and pupils are facing upwards, so we feel like he is rolling his eyes."

The others looked around and then approached and carefully observed the face in front of us, nodded, "It's true."

Kong Xue frowned, "But what does this mean?"

I smiled, "You can do this."

Shi Tao rolled his eyes skeptically and shouted immediately, "Ah, I understand! I mean, the entrance should be on it!"

I nodded, then shone the flashlight upwards, and sure enough, I saw half a piece of iron chain hanging five or six meters above the stone wall.

Shi Tao nodded, "It seems that's right, the entrance should be there. Brother Zhuoran, you are so awesome!" I waved my hand as if modest. I saw that even Wen Mo's gaze contained a hint of praise, which made me feel a little proud.

Kong Xue came over, patted my shoulder, and said in a deep manner: "Yeah! It's a good job!"

"That's!" I raised my head proudly. "Don't look at who I am!"

Kong Xue gave me a blank look, "You are fat and panting! Fortunately, this face is a rolling look. If it is a crying expression, would I still make you cry?"

"this......"

Wen Mo no longer hesitated, took out the steel claws from his bag, aimed at the position where the chain was hanging on it and threw it up. To throwing this kind of thing was a piece of cake for Wen Mo. The steel claws were hooked accurately at the root of the chain. As the beef tendon rope at the tail of the steel claws was pulled in, the steel claws grabbed the chain tightly.

Wen Mo fell a little, and after confirming that there was no problem, he pulled the bull tendon rope with both hands, jumped up, and his feet passed twice on the stone wall, and reached the entrance position very lightly.

I asked below: "Hey, boss, how about it?"

Wen Mo didn't say anything, but just turned around and made an OK gesture. It seemed that it was safe, so the three of us climbed up one by one.

When I got up there, I saw a piece of rope tied to the iron chain. I took it over and looked at it. I found that it was half a newer mountaineering rope. It seemed that someone had just entered here not long ago. Could it be that the team of people from the Tang family?

I threw the rope aside, and I knew in my heart that these things were not important. It was time to meet them, and I would always encounter them!

We can see where we are, this is a man-made passage. However, on both sides of the passage, a human face rolling eyes is carved at any distance. This situation makes us feel very strange.

Our flashlight swept over, and there were faces with rolling eyes all around us. Although they were sculptures carved on the stone wall, this feeling was still very uncomfortable.

We walked along the passage for a short time, but suddenly we found a row of stone steps that began to extend downward.

We walked two steps along the steps and stopped immediately. Because under the illumination of our flashlight, water waves actually appeared below the steps.

Is there water below? I picked up a stone and threw it down. The stone fell into the water with a "boom", causing a sparkling wave.

"I'll go! How can there be water in this place?" Looking at the dark water surface, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Wen Mo squatted by the water and looked at it, "The water quality is very clear and the water temperature is also very low. It should not be stagnant water, but the water from the underground river."

I asked, "Why did the water from the underground river get here?"

Wen Mo stood up and shook the water in his hand, "Maybe it was introduced by artificially or siphon penetrated." As he said that, Wen Mo walked down. I wanted to stop him, but before he could speak, Wen Mo had already stepped into the water.
