Chapter 807 Monk Stone Statue
He first looked at the surrounding walls and didn't see any switches.
And after walking forward for a while, a somewhat grand door blocked his way.
This is a stone door, but it is completely different from the stone wall we encountered before. There are murals carved on it!
Ordinary murals are made by grinding the stone flat and painting directly on it.
And there are actually murals carved on this stone door.
However, since there was no coloring and the painting was extremely abstract, I couldn’t figure out what the painting was for a while.
But it did not affect the majestic impression the door left on Lin Ran.
"This should be the real tomb door." He breathed a sigh of relief, his efforts finally paid off.
Then he looked for the switch nearby, but found nothing.
It seems that the switch should be below. If I guessed correctly, there is a downward passage behind the tomb door.
But even without the mechanism, Lin Ran had already found a way to deal with it.
He returned to the cliff and shouted to everyone: "This is the door to the tomb, come here!"
After hearing Lin Ran's reply, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
However, they were still a little worried.
Lin Ran then told them the key to getting through, which was to be quick or to control balance.
Since they are all people who make a living by going to the tomb, their physical fitness is naturally better than that of ordinary people. They can also master the skills that recent graduates like Lin Ran can do.
Of course, Xu Yi, who was in poor health, gave up and followed.
In order to take care of his uncle, Xu Ning also chose to stay where he was to take care of them.
These paintings are not colored, and in the darkness, the content of the paintings cannot be seen.
Under Lin Ran's guidance, everyone passed the floating stone without any danger.
Looking back at this section of the road, they still felt a little frightened.
"Constructing this floating stone pillar is probably the largest amount of work in building a mausoleum." Lao Hei said, he had never seen such a dangerous design.
"Well, there is no need to build a mausoleum at all." Lin Ran was also very impressed.
Because the bottom of the stone pillar cannot be seen at all, it takes a lot of physical knowledge and chemical engineering skills to make this kind of stone pillar into a mechanism.
If it is a tomb from the Yuan Dynasty, the technology of Europe and Arabia has just begun, and the technology used in this tomb even far exceeds theirs!
"Mr. Lin." Lao Hei interrupted Lin Ran's meditation and asked, "Let's go to the tomb gate now."
Because they had to bring tools, Lao Hei and Wang Jinpeng almost encountered danger during the jump.
Fortunately, their physical fitness was amazing and they were able to control their balance.
Xu Yi, who was on the opposite side, waved and shouted, "Don't worry, we will wait for you here."
They were so far apart in the darkness that they could no longer be seen clearly.
Lin Ran also waved his hand and said, "You go outside and wait for us. The air quality inside is not good."
Then, the rest of the people followed Lin Ran and began to explore the internal structure of the tomb.
They came to the gate that Lin Ran mentioned.
This door is indeed very majestic, about two meters high.
In addition to the murals above, there is also a stone statue erected next to the gate.
This stone statue is life-size, about 1.7 meters tall.
He is a thin man, a monk, meditating.
It looked a little weird in the dim light.
Wang Jinpeng took a flashlight and shined it on it. Only when he got closer could he see his complete form.
The facial features are quite exquisitely carved, and are as exquisite as the works of Shengshi Craftsmanship.
But after all, due to the limited quality of tools in that era, some parts were not exquisitely made.
Pooh..
Lin Ran suddenly reminded himself that he was exploring the ancient tomb, not inspecting the products of Shengshi Craftsmanship.
After becoming the owner of a handicraft store, his requirements for handicrafts have also increased a lot.
The stone statue of the monk in front of him could not fit into his eyes because of some minor flaws.
This can be regarded as an improvement in realm.
Lin Ran smiled and encouraged himself.
After all, this journey has been too dangerous, and it’s time to relax.
Seeing Lin Ran smiling, others thought he had discovered something else.
"Brother Lin, have you found the mechanism to open the door?" Liu Jingfeng asked quickly.
"How is that possible?" Lin Ran coughed slightly, and then began to search for clues around the stone statue.
It was Hong Wu who had the sharpest eyes. He suddenly said: "Do you think the monk carved on the stone gate is this stone statue?"
Hearing this, everyone noticed the content on the mural.
Unless Hong Wu reminded them, they didn't realize that the monk was engraved on it.
"You have such good eyesight." Lin Ran praised, and he took a few steps back. From a distance, the lines on it really looked like a monk.
Lin Ran stared at the stone statue's face and suddenly felt the statue's eyes blink.
At the same time, Hong Wu did not show a happy expression, but his face turned pale, as if he had seen something terrible.
He took two steps back, pointed at the monk statue and said, "That thing... that thing is alive."
When this matter was mentioned suddenly in the mausoleum, everyone shuddered.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lao Hei was the first to muster up the courage, and came to the monk's statue, pointing his machete at him, "Stop pretending to be a ghost, come out quickly!"
It turns out that you don’t believe in ghosts and gods, so you pretended to light candles when entering the tomb.
Lin Ran also quickly controlled his emotions after a brief period of fear.
The reason why he was afraid was because he knew Hong Wu's level.
He was definitely not mistaken. He should have seen something terrible just now.
He asked: "Hongwu, what did you see?"
"He...his eyes just moved." Hong Wu kept backing up and hiding behind Wang Jinpeng.
Wang Jinpeng grinned widely and said: "Haha, I think you are too nervous. Besides, there are so many of us, why are we afraid of a little kid?"
"Shut up." Liu Jingfeng usually doesn't object to Wang Jinpeng's joking.
But at this juncture, you still need to maintain a sense of awe.
Lin Ran did not retreat but advanced, and also came to the stone statue.
Staring at the eyes of the stone statue, other parts of the stone statue are relatively rough in carvings, but the eyes are really lifelike.
And when I looked closer, I found that there was a bead in the eye of the stone statue, which existed independently of the stone statue.
No wonder Hong Wu saw his eyes moving.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, there are separate beads in the eyes of this stone statue. It may be because the shaking caused him to lose his balance, so it looks like he is blinking."
After hearing his explanation, Hong Wu felt relieved.
Lin Ran reached out to touch the face of the stone statue, which was indeed made of stone.
He stared at the eyes of the stone statue, and when he met its eyes, he did feel a strange feeling that he was staring at him.
Except for the ingenious design of the eyes, the other parts are no different from ordinary stone statues.
If nothing else, the eyeball should be the location of a certain mechanism.
