After that, the journey was uneventful. Under the leadership of Professor Dou, the group of people successfully arrived at a closed stone door.
The stone door is carved with complex patterns, giving people a sense of mystery and heaviness. Of course, the latter feeling is more obvious because it is really heavy.
"Why are there all magic mechanisms along the way, but they are now manual?" Ji Shuzhai saw that the door was opened by turning the handle on the wall, which in turn drove the rotating shaft at the rear. The thin but tough rope pulled the door up, and he couldn't help but complain, "And it seems to be too rusty to break open."
Several other people also went up to help, and then found that there was really no way to break it.
However, this is what is strange. After all, they are all cultivators, and their physical fitness must be higher than that of ordinary people, not to mention that among them are Ji Shuzhai, a warrior, and Kun Yi, a hybrid. However, under their combined efforts, the handle remained motionless, which is difficult to explain by the reason that it was rusted to death.
"This thing is purely made of wood." Kun Yi put his hand on it and sensed it with his eyes closed. "There is no metal inside, so the wood itself should be stuck."
"Is it deformed due to moisture?" Fei Huihua poked the surface of the shaft with his finger, "What kind of wood is this? Why is it so hard?"
"That's very strange." Yi Liuling looked thoughtful at the side.
Just like Fei Huihua said, even if this thing is really stuck due to moisture deformation, but they just used force together, a wooden handle that may have experienced millions of years should have broken long ago. It has not decayed or deteriorated for so long, so it seems that it must have very advanced protective magic. Why did it become deformed by moisture?
"I have a guess," Kun Yi said, "This thing may have been protected by magic for a long time, and the transformation was intentionally done by someone."
Hearing this, Yi Liuling looked at the rotating shaft wrapped with ropes again. This thing was deeply embedded in the stone wall, and the part exposed outside the wall was a very complete structure. There was no problem.
"You're saying," Yi Liuling pointed to the rotating shaft, "this thing may have a switch on the other end. Where is the problem?"
"Ah, this is indeed very possible," Professor Dou agreed with this view. "The festival of the Lalaye Civilization requires entering the main tomb chamber. If such a heavy door is used as a partition, there must be switches inside and outside. That’s all.”
"Then what should we do now?" Fei Huihua asked, "If there is a problem on the inside, should Kun Yitu be allowed to escape in?"
"It's not a good idea to escape," Kun Yi said. "This wall is full of magic array circuits. If I escape in, it won't just be a rotating axis."
"Why don't you try smashing this stone gate directly?" Ji Shuzhai came up with an idea, "Strengthening will work wonders."
"Good guy," Yi Liuling looked at Ji Shuzhai in shock, "There must be a Jonathan?"
However, no one answered Yi Liuling's words. After he said these words, everyone showed thoughtful expressions.
"Wait a minute, Jonathan?" After Yi Liuling subconsciously said what she just said, she now reacted and exclaimed, "I remembered what I forgot! Did Angela and Jonathan not come in?"
"Ah, yes! I haven't seen them since they were teleported in," Fei Huihua's expression gradually became shocked, "Strange, I didn't realize this at all just now."
"It's not just you," Kun Yi said with a solemn expression, "I didn't even notice it. This is really abnormal."
"Yes, it would be too strange for everyone to forget at the same time." Professor Dou also frowned, "But when I checked the information before, I mentioned that the first few ancient tombs have the ability to cause hallucinations. Could it be that For the same reason?"
"But I don't feel any traces of illusion magic here," Fei Huihua is a professional after all. She also closed her eyes and sensed it, "If there is really something that affects our thinking, it should be something other than illusion. "
"For example, the Soul-Living Realm?" Yi Liuling is experienced, "But the Soul-Living Realm needs someone to control it. It is unlikely that there is someone in this ancient tomb, right? Or maybe we have entered into something by mistake..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching creaking sound, and then the handle that could not be turned began to rotate on its own in front of everyone.
However, when the shaft pulled the rope, it was not the rising stone door, but a sudden earthquake.
A sun-shaped mark appeared at everyone's feet, and then opened like a window. For some reason, everyone who was unable to move fell down.
"boom!"
Yi Liuling opened her eyes suddenly and was about to sit up, but she felt severe pain all over her body, so she had to turn her neck carefully and look at the surrounding environment.
This is a very simple thatched house, and the roof even leaks a little light. Judging from the structure, it should be an older oriental building. The room was not clean. There were mottled stains on the walls. The floor was only covered with hay. It had obviously been stepped on many times and looked dirty.
The room is not very big and there is no other furniture. Except for the wall where the door is located, there is a single bed placed against each of the other three walls. There is a round glass window directly above the bed, covered by a wooden window. The frame is divided into four pieces by two mutually perpendicular diameters.
Yi Liuling was lying on the bed on the left side of the door. Opposite him was Kun Yi, and Professor Dou was lying on the bed in the middle.
"I..." Yi Liuling saw that they had also woken up and was about to speak. The wooden door that was half-open and crooked on the door frame was pushed open, and a man walked in pushing a dining cart covered with white cloth.
"Are you guys awake?" A girl with long flowing hair walked in. She was wearing a patched long skirt, the same style that Yi Liuling had never seen before. "How do you feel? Does your body still hurt?"
This girl is only about one and a half meters tall and has a slender figure, but judging from her facial features, she looks like she is an adult.
She has an oval face, which is a very typical oriental classical beauty. Her face is rosy and her skin is smooth, not like she is malnourished.
Before Professor Dou woke up, Yi Liuling and Kun Yi exchanged glances and said, "Did you save us?"
"I can't move you three grown men. It was Uncle Li who picked you up when he was chopping wood." The girl smiled and replied, "But you are also lucky. Falling from such a high mountain is nothing. It's a serious problem, Doctor Liu said you can recover after drinking some medicine and taking care of it in a few days."
"I see. What do you call the girl? Where is this place?" Yi Liuling thought for a while and continued to ask.
However, the girl's next reaction was beyond his expectation.
"I'm Lan Xu," the girl's eyes widened, "Brother Ling, you must have kowtowed to your head, why did you start talking nonsense? And you became so polite."
