The door opened at a small angle, as if something was blocking it. However, the width was enough for a child like Xinwu to enter.
Xinwu carefully stretched out one foot and made a sweeping half circle inside the door. The ground felt very flat. When the angle turned to about 120 degrees, he hit something hard. Then I measured it with my toes and found that this thing was very regular, a round object with a fat belly.
"What is this?"
Xin Wu judged that there was no danger for the time being, so he entered with all his body, put the sapphire in his left hand, held it up high as a light, and touched it with his right hand: the half of the door on the right was a tall copper kettle with a long neck. Only the neck Both the neck and stem are two meters high. Together with all the other shapes on the top, this is an oversized copper kettle with a total height of at least 6 meters, in a pure Middle Eastern Arabic style.
"when---"
Xin Wu knocked it, and apart from the thick dust that vibrated, there was a very clear metal collision sound from the pot. It should be hollow, otherwise the echo would not be so long.
Looking behind the door on the left, there is another tall copper kettle that is exactly the same. These two huge copper kettles are exactly a pair, just like the guardians of the pair of doors, but their positions are no longer the same. It's too "centered". The one on the right is closer to the center line of the door. It seems that someone has moved it but failed to move it. It must be because it is very heavy!
"Dang, dang-dang -" Xin Wu also tapped the one on the left. The tone was different. There might be something in it that made the space not as big as the one on the right. The tone was a few degrees higher and much shorter.
"It's so high that I can't climb up anyway. I'd better wait until Shibaoshan comes and check again!"
Xinwu looked at the tall pot on the left with great self-knowledge and gave up any further actions.
Further inside, there is a very long corridor with an arched top. The walls are four or five meters high. There seem to be many decorative paintings on the top. On both sides of the corridor, the walls are also made of large stones. , very regular. Every five meters or so, there is a sunken square hole in the wall with a height of about 1.8 meters. There is an object in each hole. Xinwu jumped a few times, leaning on the same height. Judging from a moment's notice, it is a candlestick, the kind that can hold oil, and also has a Greek style shape.
"Alas! It's still too short. We'd better wait until Huodun and Baoshan come down. The three of us can take a personal ladder and we should be able to see clearly."
Going further, this corridor turned out to be a "pure corridor", about twenty meters long. At the end, it was a "dead end" with no doorways for entry and exit on both sides, only neat and uniform walls standing tall.
"It shouldn't be possible, right? There's no way out? Then why is there such a dry corridor?"
Xinwu looked confused. He felt that this was illogical. There should be a secret door or something, hidden under a certain stone, right? There are always such designs in many adventure-themed film and television works. It shouldn't be that simple, and there will be no further explanation.
Xinwu slipped back and forth a few more times, carefully touched the left and right walls, and tried tapping a few times with his knuckles. The sound was uneven. It seemed that the space behind the wall was also solid and hollow, not so There is a pattern.
Just when he was wandering, thinking over and over again, and was unprepared, the giant door made a creak, startling him.
"Brother Xinwu, are you okay?!"
It was Huodun who spoke.
It turned out to be Shi Baoshan and Huodun. They couldn't wait any longer and went down to the bottom.
"I just called you outside for a long time, but there was no response. I only heard a few 'dang dang dang' sounds. I thought something had happened to you, so we hurried down to look for you. Alas! We were scared to death!"
As Shi Baoshan said this, he patted Xin Wu on the shoulder to confirm that he was intact.
As the first person to enter the castle, Diyar was the second to see the appearance of this inner hall. He was very curious. So, after confirming that Xin Wu was safe, he followed the footprints that Xin Wu had just walked inside and walked again. After reading it again, he said in surprise: "There is no road here anymore? How strange is it?"
When Huodun heard that there was no way out, he didn't believe it. He swam around inside and saw no signs of any door openings. There were solid walls, small sunken square holes in the walls, vaults, and two giant pots. There is nothing else.
"Baoshan, I just jumped up and took a look. There are two rows of candlesticks here. The three of us set up a personal ladder. You stand on it and take one down to see what other possibilities there are!"
When Xin Wu saw everyone gathered, he quickly told the plan.
"No problem! Come on!"
They chose the first square hole in the right wall closest to the door.
Xin Wu and Huo Dun set up a pair of standing "human ladders" shoulder to shoulder; Diyal bent down and supported the wall, acting as the first "staircase" of Shi Baoshan. Baoshan was very light and he quickly stood up. On the two shoulders of the double ladder, Xin Wu deliberately spread his legs at a wider angle in order to be at the same height as the fire pier.
"I saw it, it's a candlestick! Then I'll take it down!"
Baoshan said from above, and Xinwu said from below: "Okay, okay, take it down!"
The friends gathered in a circle and looked at the candlestick in Baoshan's hand. It looked a bit like a small boat with an awning. Above this "awning", there was a small square hole, and the pointed one The bow of the ship and the entire "cabin" underneath were covered with a thick layer of ash. However, because the ash had just been taken down, it formed layers of "ripples", and together with the ash layer above, They were all shaking slightly, and it looked like there was liquid underneath.
"Huodun, do me a favor, can I lend you some hair?"
Friends, because the light is dark, the light of the four blue gems is not enough to see clearly what material this boat-shaped candlestick is made of, so their heads are tied closer, and Huodun's explosive hair also has... The curled tail tip was almost swept into the gray layer at the tip of the boat. This also gave Xin Wu inspiration, so he smiled and made a request to Huodun.
"What a big deal! Come on, give it to you!"
Huodun grabbed the bunch in front of him that he always liked to block his sight. He quickly pulled out a few sticks and handed them to Xin Wu, and then asked, "How to use them?"
Xin Wu gathered the hair together and turned it into a small brush. He swept the dust on the surface of the candlestick up, down, left and right. The dust particles were so small that they were almost at the nanometer level. After sweeping, a puff of smoke rose in the air, filling the air instead of the kind where large grains of sand would fall.
"You guys spread out and hold your breath!"
Xinwu didn't expect this to happen, so he quickly turned back with the candlestick, avoiding the center surrounded by four people, and loudly reminded the three of them.
