Chapter 355 Stone Gate Mechanism
Su Han and Bi Yao stood in front of the door carved from a whole piece of obsidian, and the air around them seemed to freeze.
The spiral relief on the surface of the stone gate seems to be flowing slowly under the reflection of the ghostly green flames, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Su Han reached out and gently touched the reliefs. His fingertips felt cold and rough. He observed them carefully, trying to find clues to open the stone door.
Bi Yao followed Su Han closely, her eyes also falling on the stone gate, her eyes full of nervousness and curiosity.
"Su Han, this door looks so heavy, how can we open it?"
Her voice was trembling slightly, and was particularly clear in this silent space.
Su Han did not answer immediately. He walked around the stone gate and found that there was a bronze statue more than one meter tall on each side of the stone gate.
The statue has a strange shape, a distorted face, and its body is in a strange twisted posture. Its hands are stretched forward with palms facing each other, as if holding something.
Su Han moved closer to the statue and found that there was a circular depression on the palm of each statue. The inside of the depression was engraved with tiny and complex lines, like some kind of mysterious code.
"Biyao, look at these two statues."
Su Han pointed at the statue and said to Bi Yao, “The depression and lines on the palm may be related to opening the stone door.
Although the runes we saw in the temple exploded, the influence they left behind may be related to this stone door."
Bi Yao also came over and looked at the statues carefully, and suddenly said: "Su Han, I feel like these two statues seem to be responding to something, as if there is some invisible force pulling them."
Su Han's heart moved. He remembered the vibration of the stone wall when he touched the metal product before, and the sound in his mind.
Perhaps this stone gate also requires some specific way to trigger it, just like using stones to interact with the star map.
He took out the stone he had found earlier from his arms. The patterns on the surface of the stone were still clear, echoing the patterns on the star map.
Su Han raised the stone to the depression in the palm of one of the statues. When the stone approached the depression, the lines in the depression suddenly lit up with a faint blue light. Then, the stone door made a dull roar, as if it was slowly starting.
Su Han and Bi Yao looked at each other in surprise, and then Su Han slowly put the stone into the depression. In an instant, the entire stone door was shrouded in a faint blue light, and the spiral relief on the stone door began to rotate rapidly, making a sharp friction sound.
However, the stone gate only shook a few times before stopping again.
Su Han frowned, realizing that he might need another similar "key".
Bi Yao searched the surroundings carefully, and suddenly she found a slightly raised stone slab at the bottom of the stone gate, with some vague patterns engraved on it.
She squatted down and pushed the stone slab hard. The stone slab moved slowly, revealing a secret compartment underneath.
A piece of glowing crystal lay quietly in the secret compartment. The shape of the crystal was similar to that of a stone, and its surface also had strange patterns.
Biyao picked up the crystal and handed it to Su Han, who placed it into the depression in the palm of another statue.
In an instant, the two statues were surrounded by blue light, and the light intertwined with each other to form a bridge of light connecting them.
The stone gate roared again, and this time, it rose slowly, and an old and mysterious breath blew towards us.
Behind the door was a long passage, the walls of which were inlaid with glowing gems, illuminating the passage brightly.
There are statues at regular intervals on both sides of the passage. The statues have strange shapes. Some are human-shaped but have animal heads.
Some are combinations of various strange creatures. Each statue is lifelike, as if telling an ancient story.
Su Han and Bi Yao walked into the passage cautiously. Their footsteps echoed in the passage, making it seem particularly empty.
Biyao's attention was attracted by a statue. It was a statue of a woman with a soft face and a pair of huge wings. The feathers on the wings were carved very finely, as if they would fall off with a slight touch.
"Su Han, look at this statue, she is so beautiful."
Bi Yao said softly, her eyes full of amazement. (End of this chapter)
