Mr. Li was thinking in his mind while watching Xu Zixue's next actions.
"You saw it when you came here. The corpses outside cover almost all periods and dynasties. In other words, people have been entering here for the past few thousand years. This just proves what Shimen described. Every Open once in 370 years"
"So, the person who is selected is not a fixed person, but a specific time. As long as you come here at the right time and open the mechanism, you can enter the interior of the temple."
"Although those Germans came here, they came at the wrong time, so they were unable to enter the temple until they died." As he spoke, Xu Zixue began to turn the stone plate, "There are some places where you can't just come in if you want to."
Click click click......
As the stone plate rotated, there was a sound of the machine turning from behind the stone door.
"The mechanisms inside this stone gate are extremely complicated. How did the people who built this place do it?"
Mr. Li has been studying machine magic for more than a day or two. Just by listening to the sound, you can tell how terrifying the number of machine expansions behind the stone gate is.
Asking himself honestly, even now, he can't solve such a complicated mechanism, let alone make it.
Click.......
There was a muffled sound, and the entire stone door vibrated, causing dust to fly.
Rumble... The stone door was slowly pushed open under the combined efforts of everyone.
call........
It was like a dust-covered magic box was suddenly opened, and a dark wind blew out from behind the stone door for no apparent reason.
Mixed with darkness and cold, the flames swayed, and the torches in everyone's hands dimmed.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a little, as if something terrible was awakening in the darkness.
Mr. Li's back was chilled by the cold wind, and he subconsciously took a step back.
This stone door had not been opened for an unknown period of time. For safety reasons, everyone waited for sufficient ventilation time before entering.
"Baby, I'm here!" Hong Laojiu squeezed out from the crowd, his eyes shining with excitement, "You guys, go eat meat!"
With a shout, Hong Laojiu and several of his men rushed into the stone gate, as if they were afraid that someone would snatch them away.
Huo Yuanshan didn't say a word, a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he walked in slowly with the support of several subordinates.
The team entered the stone gate one after another. Behind the gate was a long corridor, dark and cold.
"Holy shit!" A sudden curse came from behind the door.
As soon as they entered the stone gate, they were immediately greeted by two life-size stone statues, with ferocious masks on their heads, looking exactly like the guard stone statues outside.
Somehow the mechanism was triggered, and the spears in the hands of the two guards were suddenly crossed in front of everyone.
"Damn it, I thought they were both alive!" The one walking in front cursed and spat at the stone statue, "Hey? What the hell is this..."
"Don't touch, go around!" Mr. Li shouted to stop the man's next move.
The man was a little unconvinced, turned around and glared at Mr. Li, sneered and took out the spear from one of the stone statues with provocation.
boom......
There was a sudden vibration in the corridor, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
No one dared to make any more unnecessary movements, even breathing became rapid in the darkness.
Quiet.
After a long time, nothing happened.
"You fucking want to kill me?" Hong Laojiu slapped the previous subordinate in the face, causing the man to collapse on the ground.
"From now on, no one is allowed to touch anything, otherwise, you will die!" Huo Yuanshan's voice was deep, mixed with majesty that could not be refuted.
The numerical disadvantage did not put any pressure on this man.
The corridor is very long, and the ground is paved with large bluestones. There are two symmetrical guard stone statues four or five meters apart on both sides, holding a spear in one hand and a torch in the other.
Someone tried to light it, and the fire started to burn. There was still unburned kerosene on it.
The corridor was gradually illuminated by firelight, and only then did everyone notice that the stone walls were covered with various symbols.
Unfortunately, no one knows what these symbols represent.
"Did you hear anything?" Grandpa suddenly asked in a low voice.
Chen Ze shook his head and said he heard nothing.
Mr. Li listened carefully and found nothing. He looked at his grandfather with some confusion.
"Nothing, keep going."
The passage was not long. After everyone walked more than ten meters, a stone chamber appeared in front of them.
call......
Someone lit the stone trough at the door, and a fire dragon spread to the top of the stone chamber, illuminating the dark stone chamber.
The stone chamber is square in shape, with two stone pillars more than one meter thick in front of the four walls for support.
The stone walls on all sides, including the stone pillars in front, are neatly stacked with skulls like bricks.
At the top of the stone pillar, there is also a ring of human skull connected to the spine. It was completely cut from the human body with a sharp tool. The fracture was smooth and there was no trace of wear.
The spine under the skull is curved in a unique shape, like a circle of tadpoles with its tail raised.
In the center is a circle of stone beds, with nine total workers. The stone beds are distributed radially around the circular stone platform in the middle.
The height of the stone platform is slightly lower than the stone bed. The inner end of the stone bed is connected to the stone platform, and the same complex patterns and symbols are carved on it.
There was a shriveled human skeleton lying on every stone bed. The body was incomplete and some broken bones were scattered around the stone bed.
As he got closer, Mr. Li noticed that there was something wrong with the skeletons.
Each skeleton has varying degrees of damage, but it is not normal damage. The cracks in the bones are not neat, but more like they have been broken.
Looking at the fragmented body parts on the ground, these corpses seemed to have been bitten by wild beasts, with their bones and flesh torn apart.
Their chests and limbs were torn apart.
But the strange thing is that there is no trace of resistance here, and there is no sign of binding on the body.
In other words, those people lay on those stone beds voluntarily, or were knocked unconscious and placed on them.
"This looks like a sacrificial chamber. These stone beds and stone platforms are like the center of a magic circle. Look at the patterns on it. Although the style is the same, the patterns are obviously different from those outside." Chu Yuxuan said.
Mr. Li scraped the strange dark brown lines with a dagger, twisted the dark brown powder on it with his hand and said, "It's blood. These are the blood troughs for letting human blood. I guess these people had their necks cut, and the blood was along the lines." The lines under the clothes converge on the stone platform in the middle."
"What a cruel sacrificial technique. A person dies in a long and painful process as the blood slowly drains out. Is this such a damn thing done by a human being?" Even Hong Laojiu couldn't help but smacked his lips.
Everyone's eyes naturally fell on the stone platform where blood gathered. In the center of the stone platform's texture was a small black hole.
"The blood has gathered in this place. It doesn't seem to be anything special, but..." Chu Yuxuan said, "The arrangement of these stone beds and stone platforms is a bit like a Western magic circle. The corpse is a sacrifice." Pin, the center of the formation is the stone platform."
"In other words, these corpses are preparing for the things in the center." Chu Yuxuan picked up a broken bone and looked at it for himself, "What are they sacrificing?"
Mr. Li looked at the fragmented corpses around him and felt a little uneasy. After all, the death condition of these corpses was quite miserable, and he had never seen a sacrifice that would make the corpses look like this.
Click...
A sound of cracking bones interrupted Mr. Li's thoughts, and he saw a man tearing off a human head with spine from the pillar.
"It's better not to touch some things, wait..."
Only then did Mr. Li notice a terrible thing.
Xu Zixue and his gang have disappeared!
"Where did that bitch go?" Hong Laojiu shouted.
"And...where are Huo Yuanshan and the others? That smelly Taoist priest is also missing!" Chu Yuxuan was also surprised.
I don’t know when, these two groups of people disappeared!
"Stop looking, they know this place better than us." Grandpa said calmly, his voice was not loud, but it was very effective.
"Master, what should we do next?" Chen Ze pressed the bastard cover on his waist and stared at the surroundings vigilantly.
Now, there are only a few of them left in this secret room.
"There is no other way now, let's find a way out first." Old Li said.
boom!
Just when everyone was about to find a way out, there was a loud noise, and the entrance they came in from earlier was blocked by falling rocks!
"Someone touched the trap and we are trapped here!"
"What a fool! That old fox from Huo Yuanshan tricked me!" Hong Laojiu's face turned red with anger, "When I get out, I have to crush this old bastard to death!"
Click...click...
There was a dense sound of the machine turning around, and everyone's hearts tensed up in an instant.
"What's wrong...this is the sacrifice room!" Chu Yuxuan pulled out the pistol from his waist.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of friction sounds sounded around the stone bed.
Immediately afterwards, the stone platform in the middle suddenly separated from the middle, and nine huge spherical objects slowly rose from the bottom.
The thing is like a ball and a plate, and is as big as half a human body. It is gray-black in color and has lines all over its surface. Upon closer inspection, it is somewhat similar to the one painted on the stone plate.
Everyone stared at the strange ball that suddenly appeared with vigilance. Hong Laojiu spat and kicked the nearest subordinate in the neck.
"You, go over and take a look."
The subordinate seemed a little timid and glanced at Hong Laojiu fearfully, but the latter stared back.
The man had no choice but to smile bitterly, and moved to the side of the strange ball with a lofty attitude. He poked the barrel of the gun in his hand and carefully touched one of the strange balls.
There was nothing unusual at first. The man exhaled somewhat thankfully and knocked with the barrel of his gun.
The sound was a bit weird, like hitting a pile of rotten wood.
Then he pushed hard again, and the strange ball shook for a while, but it was not as heavy as it seemed.
Seeing that there was no danger, the man became more courageous, put away his gun, and planned to remove the strange ball with his hands.
"Master Jiu, this thing is a damn thing, it's pretty damn heavy... Ouch!"
The man suddenly pulled his hand and the strange ball fell to the ground.
"Damn it, that ball thing still pricked your hand!" He cursed, and when he looked at his hands, there was already a cut and blood was flowing out.
The strange ball smashed away a bunch of bones and rolled to the feet of Chu Yuxuan and the others. The bloody areas on it actually started to squirm.
Just like a stone was dropped on the calm lake, the strange ball's squirming movement became louder and louder, as if it was coming to life, and even its size seemed to have grown in size.
Chu Yuxuan's man was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the strange ball suddenly melted and a large piece of milky yellow rotten flesh spread out on the ground.
The rotten flesh seemed to be alive, bulging, and it spread to the subordinate's feet in just a few breaths.
The subordinate was naturally startled and hurriedly took a few steps back, swinging his feet to shake off the thing on it. However, he didn't expect that after he pulled it like this, the pool of liquid split open, and countless tiny particles sprouted from the fracture. Comes with needle-like tentacles.
"What the hell is this!"
