Is it the gate of life or the gate of death that is the right choice to open this stone gate?
If you make the right choice, you can naturally open this underground secret room smoothly and completely reveal the secret.
What happens if you make the wrong choice?
Everyone is secretly guessing and imagining various possible consequences.
However, no one is sure of the outcome and they are all hesitant.
Xiao Ran was the same, looking at the bronze knight statue in front of him, he fell into deep thought.
Of course, he was just acting.
Just to make everything look more realistic and not reveal any flaws.
At this moment, Shangbo Lao Li's voice suddenly came again.
"Xiao Ran, you must be careful and don't touch these two bronze sculptures rashly."
"The sculpture with the year 1564 on it looks like a living door, but no one can tell whether it's a trap or not."
"And the bronze sculpture with the year 1616 engraved on it looks like the door to death, but who knows if death contains the meaning of life?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mr. Li, what you said is very Zen-like! In life there is death, and in death there is life!"
"In other words, what is real is what is imaginary, and what is fictitious is what is real!"
"Isn't this the wisdom of our ancestors? When did the British learn it?"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room, and everyone laughed.
When the laughter subsided, Mr. Jin's voice suddenly came.
"Whether it's China or the UK, the principles are the same, they just say things differently."
"You kid should be more careful to avoid any accidents!"
"Since these two statues are the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death, they may have a self-destruct function. This is not uncommon in underground palace buildings."
Hearing what Mr. Jin said, everyone was startled and all took a breath.
Xiao Ran didn't take it seriously, smiled and nodded and replied:
"I didn't expect this to alarm you, Mr. Jin, how are you resting?"
"We just talked on the phone this morning. It's only been a few hours. I didn't expect you to watch the live broadcast again."
The next moment, Mr. Jin replied with a smile:
"The treasures your boy sent home this time are so important and precious!"
"After I came back from the airport, I was very excited and couldn't sleep, so I got up to watch the live broadcast."
"More importantly, your discovery today has caused quite a stir in the country, and everyone is paying attention!"
After hearing what Mr. Jin said, cheers immediately erupted in the live broadcast room.
Everyone immediately understood that the batch of antique artworks that Xiao Ran had chartered to send back to China had arrived safely in Beijing.
Among that batch of antique artworks, many treasures of relatively low value were taken by fans in the live broadcast room, but they have not yet paid for the goods.
Once the half-month waiting period has passed, everyone can go to Beijing to pick up the goods and get their favorite products.
The prices of those treasures are far lower than the market price. As long as they change hands, you can make a lot of money in the blink of an eye.
Who wouldn't cheer for such a good thing?
Xiao Ran smiled softly, then explained the situation and joked a few words.
After saying this, he returned to the topic.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will be careful and will never act rashly."
"It is basically certain that the mechanism that opens this stone door is at the feet of these two knight statues."
"Now it's a question of how to choose. No matter which statue you choose, there is a half chance of success."
As he spoke, he continued to carefully observe the statue in front of him.
After observing for a while, he walked to the stone door again, checked the condition of the stone door again, and then fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned around and said:
"Marvin, give me the pulse metal detector and I will detect the situation behind the stone door."
"The mechanism that controls this stone door should be made of metal."
"By opening the location of the mechanism and its general structure, we should be able to determine that the statue is Shengmen."
"The guy who set up this trap at the beginning must have never imagined that equipment like metal detectors would appear in future generations."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately afterwards, everyone nodded and their frowns opened.
Everyone understands that Xiao Ran is right.
How could the British colonists more than 200 years ago have imagined that future generations would have such a thing as a metal detector!
Under the scanning of the metal detector, those fake and real tricks are completely invisible!
"Okay, Sean."
Marvin nodded in response and immediately handed over the pulse metal detector he carried with him.
After taking over the metal detector, Xiao Ran immediately took action, stretched the metal detector's probe towards the stone door, and began to detect.
The next moment, a pleasant chirping sound suddenly sounded from the scene.
The information displayed on the monitor is clearly stated.
There are metal objects behind this heavy stone door, and there are a lot of them.
It can be inferred from the distribution and general shape of these metal objects.
These metal objects behind the stone door are control mechanisms, not other things piled on the ground.
Next, Xiao Ran probed the walls on both sides of the stone door and the ground behind the two bronze knight statues.
As he moved, the chirping sound of the metal detector continued.
However, the data presented on the monitors varies.
It is this difference that reveals a lot of key information.
For example, the knight statue on the left, which is considered to be the Door of Death, has more connections with this stone door and has more metal objects behind the wall.
On the right side of the stone door, the knight statue that is considered to be the living door, but the metal objects connected to it have nothing to do with the stone door and are clearly distinct.
These findings alone speak volumes.
After a while, Xiao Ran had completed the detection and immediately handed the metal detector back to Marvin.
Then he thought for a while and then said with certainty:
"After my observation, I can now basically determine that the key to opening this stone door is the bronze knight statue on the left."
"Thanks to Mr. Li for reminding him in time, this is really a fatal trap that involves death in life and life in death."
Before he finished speaking, there was an exclamation of exclamation in several live broadcast rooms.
"Fuck! This is really the case. The British guy who designed and built this underground building is so insidious!"
"Fortunately, Xiao Ran didn't touch the two knight statues rashly, otherwise nothing might happen, and he might be fooled!"
The Shaxing man said with emotion.
Before he finished speaking, the monster immediately continued:
"This is Xiao Ran. He is cautious enough and takes every step carefully to get to this point smoothly."
"If it had been anyone else, they would have been shot into a hornet's nest as soon as they entered the second half of the corridor!"
Professor Baker and others who were on the ground also exclaimed in fear.
After the shock, Professor Adrian quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:
"Sean, what are you going to do next?"
"Should we open this stone door immediately, or wait until later?"
"For safety reasons, I think we can open the stone door later to avoid accidents."
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, and then gave the answer.
"I am a professional treasure hunter. Our company is an exploration company, not a professional archaeological team."
"In other words, our goal is to find treasures and maximize profits!"
"The archeology that comes with that, that's your Yale thing."
"From my point of view, of course I should open this stone door immediately. I don't have so much time to spend here."
After saying that, before Professor Baker and the others could respond, he had already arrived in front of the knight statue on the left side of the stone gate.
Seeing this scene, Professor Baker and the others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, several Yale professors quickly looked at each other and nodded in unison.
They can only accept this result, even if they are a little helpless and worried.
There is no way, no matter who takes the initiative of this joint exploration operation out of their own hands, they can only follow orders!
Xiao Ran pretended to take a serious look at the knight statue on the left, took out a towel, and carefully wiped off the dust and moss on the upper body of the statue.
There are no traps on the surface of this statue, so it is relatively safe.
After cleaning the dust and moss, he looked at the statue again and looked at the friction marks left on the ground.
After thinking for a moment, he hugged the statue with both hands and began to rotate it vigorously.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately held their breath and looked at Xiao Ran and the bronze knight statue nervously.
Especially Yi Lian and Fang Yufei were so nervous that they didn't even dare to express their anger!
"Kakaka"
Following Xiao Ran's movements, a sound of mechanical rotation immediately sounded on the scene, which was harsh and harsh.
In this tunnel located deep underground, the sound gives people a creepy feeling.
Fortunately, no accident occurred!
The heavy stone door did not fall down, nor did short-handled javelins or crossbow arrows shoot out.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had rotated the bronze statue ninety degrees clockwise, which happened to match the marks left on the floor.
Just when the statue was turned at a ninety-degree angle and turned sideways to face the stone door.
Just a click was heard, the sound of the machine turning suddenly disappeared, and the scene became quiet again.
Looking at the stone door that had been closed for more than two hundred years, it seemed to shake for a moment, and then returned to its original shape, motionless!
Seeing this situation, everyone was confused and didn't know whether the stone door had been opened.
But everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because no one saw any fatal traps being triggered!
The next moment, Xiao Ran returned to the front of the stone gate again.
He quickly checked the situation of Shimen, then nodded and said:
"It seems that my judgment is correct. The knight statue on the left is the key to opening this stone door."
"Marvin, you all put on your gas masks, I'm going to open this stone door."
Upon hearing this, Marvin and the others immediately checked the gas masks and then responded one after another.
The next moment, Xiao Ran suddenly reached out and pressed on the right side of the stone door, and began to push the stone door hard.
As he gradually exerted his strength, the unusually thick stone door finally slowly opened.
The secret room behind the stone door was completely dark. The moment the stone door was opened, the darkness shrouding the place was quickly dispelled!
The situation in the secret room then appeared in front of Xiao Ran's eyes and appeared on the live video screen.
The moment he saw the situation inside the secret room, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pause.
Professor Baker and others on the ground, as well as tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room, were instantly shocked and stunned.
