Chapter 1578 Ancient Code Lock
On the third floor of the mausoleum, the roots of trees are tangled on the ground. The tomb is filled with green fluorescent light, illuminating people's faces in green. There is a tree in the middle of the tomb. The tree is not big, but it is full of vitality. The fluorescent light emanates from this tree and illuminates the entire room.
The four people walked around the room. The entire tomb was covered with tree roots and nothing else. Alice was surprised, thinking that there should be a treasure room. Princess Amber's tomb was smaller than this one, with several places to store things, so there shouldn't be one here.
Abuz stood in front of the tree and looked at it carefully and said: "How does this tree grow? There is no soil here, and there is no skeleton wall like the second layer to provide nutrients. There are holes everywhere in this mausoleum. Weird.”
Lang Ya found a lot of cut off and rotten branches on the ground full of climbing tree roots. He found something through the gaps between the tree roots. He slashed open the roots and exposed them. A door, which opens into a room that is not particularly large.
It is a room where sundries are placed. It has the same layout as Princess Amber's tomb. Some things in it have been ruined, but others are still exquisite. The difference is that there is a door in this room. After opening the door, there is a large long room, which is empty and more like a corridor.
Alice discovered that there was a light mechanism on the wall similar to the one in Amber Princess. After the magic crystal was embedded, the room lit up.
Both sides of this long room are painted with exquisitely painted murals. The characters in the paintings are all about the life stories of Princess Green Algae and Glonus. There are clay figures placed at regular intervals on both sides of the room. Clay puppets, at this time the soil on these clay puppets fell down, and they all came to life.
“It’s a magic puppet.” Without saying a word, Cesaniel took action.
These clay dolls can use earth magic, but their power is average. Cesaniel quickly solved it without Alice and the others. This kind of defensive measures is nothing compared to the sinister mechanisms above.
There is also a door at the end of the long room, and behind the door is another room. It's just that this room is round, with a large bed in the middle, and the rest are daily utensils. Although it has been aged for a long time, you can still see the extreme luxury of this room.
There is another door on the right hand side of the room. Langya said: "The rooms here are connected one after another, and it is endless."
Abuz said: "It depends on the pattern. , these rooms are arranged in a circle around the room with the tree in the middle.”
After opening the door, the room was filled with jewels and jewels. The brilliance could really be expressed in dazzling form, blinding the four people and making them unable to open their eyes. There was also an extraordinary aura. Overflowing from the room, it is the aura that only the best treasures have.
The room is not very big, but it is full of brilliance. There is a green crystal carriage in the middle. Alice can tell at a glance that the whole carriage is made by the 'Green Ghost' .
‘Green Ghost’ is the most precious kind of crystal, and the price is also the most expensive in the crystal family. The crystal is dotted with stars, like a vast sea of stars, and the dazzling magic light creates an extremely fantastic vision.
“Wow, I finally found a treasure!” Alice ran in with starry eyes and happily admired the carriage. This is the biggest treasure she has harvested since her adventure, and it is also the only treasure that can catch her eye and is truly a treasure!
Anyone will be very happy to see such a treasure room, and masters like Cesaniel and Langya are not exempt from this. Even if he is not ecstatic, his eyes are still shining.
Abzi’s eyes widened under the mask and he asked the people next to him: “How much do you think the treasures in this house are worth?”
Lang Ya opened his mouth and forgot. He closed it, shook his head and said: "It's a sky-high price. No wonder I heard residents in the desert say that when they find an ancient tomb, a group of people will get rich. This sentence is indeed not false."
The four of them looked at the treasures in the tomb, and their eyes were almost blurred. They were really overwhelmed and dazzled. This is the last room. Cesanil said: "The real main tomb should still be down there, and the passage down is hidden in these rooms."
Langya withdrew the envious gaze in his eyes, Said: "I think it must be related to that tree. That tree is too suspicious."
"Well, let's go back and have a look."
We can't get these treasures now anyway. Let's go, they are no longer nostalgic and return to the original room with the tree. According to Alice, the mechanism leading to the main tomb chamber must be related to the love of the tomb owner during his lifetime, so this green algae tree of unknown species but covered with algae leaves is highly suspicious.
But with only the tree in front of me and no other clues, I couldn't figure out how to get down. By this time, they were already hungry. Not only were they hungry, but they were also tired and sleepy. They had been tossing around in the maze for most of the day. Now that it was night, they had to eat some food they had brought with them and take a nap in Princess Green Algae's bedroom. Say it again.
It was quiet in the middle of the night and the ancient tomb was deserted. Alice felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach until midnight. She woke up and wanted to go to the room where the sundries were kept. She was about to find a corner to deal with it when she suddenly heard a rustling outside through the door. The sound of rustling, trembling leaves, and twisting branches. Her nerves immediately tightened. She peered through the crack in the door and saw that the trunk of the algae tree had split open on its own, revealing a space with a stone platform in the middle.
Alice whispered: "So that's it."
When the algae tree heard the small sound made by Alice, it immediately shrank into a ball and hugged each other again.
Alice opened the door and walked out openly. Seeing that there was no danger, Alice looked at the algae tree carefully. It turns out that this is not one algae tree, but three. When these three trees are hugged together, they look like a whole, and there is no clue at all. Although I don’t know that this kind of tree will hug each other when it is frightened, there are always strange creatures in nature, just like mimosa and piranha, there are always some strange creatures. And the stone platform in the middle of the tree trunk must be the passage down.
After finding a corner for convenience, she covered up the filth and quickly told Cesanil and the others about the discovery. The four people came to the tree and couldn't think of a way to separate the tree, so they had to use violence to solve the problem. The wolf fang slashed horizontally, and the injured algae tree made a sound like a baby crying. As expected, the three tree trunks separated, revealing the stone platform in the middle.
This stone pillar platform is a mechanism hinge, with a stone plate on top. There are many small movable stone pieces in the stone plate. Each stone piece is engraved with a word, which turns out to be a puzzle mechanism.
No one understands the words on the stone tablets, so it is difficult to spell them out in the correct order. The four of them thought hard and couldn't figure it out, so they gave up for the time being and went to sleep for a while.
After waking up, it was already afternoon time, and the three algae trees were together again. Langya still used the old method to separate them. While eating high-energy chocolate peanut candy to replenish physical energy, he studied the slate puzzle with the three of them.
After many attempts, Shitai still did not respond, and no relevant clues could be found in the room. The four of them could only puzzle their heads.
Alice thought for a long time, and her head hurt at the thought. She scratched her head frantically and said: "Glonus has arranged one mechanism after another. Is it finished or not? It's all here. What guessing game to play?”
"This puzzle cannot be figured out by just thinking. What's more important is that the little food we brought with us is almost gone. If we don't find a way to leave, we will starve." Lang Ya said.
"Starving is not a problem." Cesanil said: "I also brought some super high-energy military ration biscuits to satisfy hunger. Five pieces can provide a strong man with two days of physical energy."
"This kind of military ration biscuits are used for long-distance marches. You also brought such a good thing?" Langya was born in the military, so of course he understood this.
Abzi had been studying the contents on the slate and he was fascinated. He suddenly said: "I know how to open this thing."
"You know?" Cesanil and the others The three of them were very surprised: "Can you recognize the strange characters on this?"
Abzi shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I have seen this thing. When I was young, I saw a stone puzzle in the hands of an old desert resident. Although the shape is not very similar to this one, but now that I think about it, it actually It's the same. The old man told me that the words on the stone slab were not actually words. It corresponds to the stars in the sky. He said that in this ancient jigsaw puzzle, each one corresponds to a constellation in the sky. As long as you know which constellation is shown, you will know how to put it together."
"The constellation... ..." Alice seemed to be touched by something, and she became thoughtful.
Langya looked left and right at the stone slab and asked: "What constellation should this be?"
"Uh..." Abzi said awkwardly: "I don't know. ”
“Oh no!”
At this time, there were many footsteps on the tomb passage, and Tyson appeared here with Ruola and the others.
"Hey, how did you get down? Isn't there a flesh wall in the maze?" Alice was surprised.
"You said that the fleshy thing that appeared yesterday has withered and died." Charles Foz ran from behind to the front.
"Dead? So fast!"
It turns out that after Little G and the alligator returned to the first floor yesterday, Tyson was very angry and thought that exploring the ancient tomb was a matter for everyone to do together. But it was immoral to hide behind others, so he brought them down to find Cesanil and the other three. But after they came down, the maze was already in operation, and the green wall of skeletons had blocked the entrance. They stood at the entrance and waited for a long time, but no response was received when they called. They could only vaguely hear the sounds of fighting in the maze. Later, I had no choice but to return to the outside of the tomb. It wasn't until I came down to look at it one night that I found that the maze had been opened. However, there were still some fleshy walls that had not completely disappeared in the maze, so they waited until all the fleshy walls were gone. They were worried that something might happen to Cesanil and others, so they hurried down.
The alligator didn't think there was anything wrong with being greedy for life and afraid of death, but little G was a little ashamed and didn't dare to raise his head in front of everyone.
Lang Ya was relieved when he learned that the flesh wall was dead and said, "The flesh wall grows and dies quickly. Fortunately, we are not trapped here. But now we are in trouble again. The mechanism to open the last level of the tomb is here, but we don't know how to open it." Tyson asked about the cause and effect and looked at the stone inscriptions on the stone slab. word, and said: "So it's this, I know it. This is a special symbol used in ancient times to record stars. The meaning of each symbol is very complicated, and you need to connect them together to know its meaning." Tyson himself is along the desert The residents themselves love the ancient desert culture and know a lot about the strange things in it, and are very interested in it.
"Then do you know how to solve it?" Alice asked.
Tyson said: "Actually, this is a symbol-encrypted mechanism. To put it bluntly, it is an ancient mechanism lock. If you want to open the lock, you must know the password. Although this password is marked with a star symbol, it does not It does not necessarily correspond to the constellation. From what I understand, Glonas would set up such a mechanism in the ancient tomb. There must be a profound meaning behind it. It is not just a random password. So if you want to know what the password is, first of all You have to know what he wants to express.”
"What he wanted to express...the murals!"
What they immediately thought of were the colorful murals painted on both sides of the long room. Speaking of which, after Alice and the others came down to the third floor, they never took a good look at it. past the content of those murals. If you say what Glonas and Princess Green Algae are thinking, those murals are certainly the most intuitive expression.
Coming to the long room, everyone looked at the murals on both sides one by one. Ruola saw a lot of broken hard soil on the ground and asked Alice: "What are these?"
"Oh, these were originally magic clay dolls placed here. When we came, they were going to They attacked us, so they just took action to deal with it." Alice took Ruola to watch the mural painting together and said, "This Princess Green Algae looks really good. She’s not very pretty, to be fair, she’s average, and it’s not an exaggeration to say she’s a bit ugly. How come Glonus regards her as one of his five favorite princesses?”
Walking in The alligator in front said: "This is an ancient mural. Maybe those ancient people painted it ugly, but it is actually very beautiful."
"No way." Alice said: "I have seen the murals of Princess Amber in the tomb of Princess Amber. They are exactly the same as herself and are very beautiful. It is impossible that the paintings there are very good and the ones here are worse."
Alligator She smiled and said: "Hey, you are a beauty yourself, but you despise others for being ugly. That's too bad to say."
Alice was a little embarrassed to be said like this: "I...I'm not that I mean, I’m just discussing things, and she is It doesn’t look good. Isn’t it strange that a king doesn’t have a lot of beauties around him?” For a change of taste, just like some people. After eating too much, I suddenly ate a meal of green vegetables and radish, thinking it was a delicacy. "
"Hey, Big Wolf Ya, you said it well, I like it. Hahahahaha... But this. The taste is too strong.”
Little G was overjoyed, and the others laughed and scolded Lang Ya for his wicked words. But looking at the murals along the way, I didn't find anything special.
Alice twisted her stiff and sore neck and said, "It doesn't seem to be anything special. It's just the story of how the two of them fell in love with each other."
"They want to express themselves. Undying love? It doesn’t look like it. Or does Glonas want to tell everyone that he is a person who doesn’t pay attention to his face, but pays attention to his content? Read carefully.
Another person joked: "Do you think this woman's body is dry and thin?"
Tyson looked at the door at the end and asked: "What is the room over there for?" ”
Abzi said: "There is a bedroom over there, and beyond that is a treasure room."
"Treasure!!!" The guards looked over with their eyes: "Are there any treasures in there? "
"Yes, a lot," Cesaniel said with a smile.
The guards ran towards the bedroom excitedly, and then their screams and cheers were heard. Tyson originally wanted to maintain some identity, but when his son Fuzzy came to call him with a bunch of rare and top-quality treasures, he couldn't help but be moved and went with everyone.
Seeing that Ruola had no intention of grabbing the treasure like the guards, Alice asked, "Mr. Schaller has already passed by, why don't you go and take a look?"
< br>
Ruola didn't seem to hear it, still looking at the mural in trance. She suddenly said to herself: "Does he really like her? Is this love or a curse?"
Alice was beside Ruola and said this in a very low voice , but she heard it and couldn't help but wonder: "Ruola, why did you say that? Every picture on the mural is a story about their love and affection. Do you need to doubt it?”
Ruola pointed to the mural and said, “Look what Princess Green Algae is wearing?”
“Huh?” Alice looked carefully and saw that the small string of bracelets on the mural was also painted very carefully, including the color and texture, which were painted very realistically. On the beaded bracelet, there was a very eye-catching purple gemstone in the middle. Alice looked at it for a long time and said in surprise: "This is the purple crown stone!"
Langya, Cesanil Hearing Alice's exclamation, He and Abzi came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Alice pointed to the purple gem in the middle of Princess Green Algae's bracelet, and was very surprised and excited: "This gem is a purple crown stone, it must be a purple crown stone!"
"Purple crown stone? So what, no matter how precious it is, it is just a gem, and there are many purple gems in the room next to it." Abzi disagreed.
Alice waved her hand quickly: "No, this is not an ordinary gem. The purple crown stone is the supreme king among gems. No matter how precious the mountains of gems are, they can't compare to this one." She saw These three men still can't understand the meaning of this , thought for a while, and then said: "Let me tell you this, if there is the strongest master who stands at the top in the world, then the purple crown stone is the gem that stands at the top of the world."
Langya Surprised: "Is it so powerful?"
< br>Alice said: "There is a saying specifically about this gem, which is called 'One stone, one crown, one crown, one country'. It means that if you have such a gem, you can use it to make a crown. Once you get this crown, you can trade it for a country. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say, it is already the most precious gem in the world. As far as I know, among the three major countries in the world, only the Republic of Desman has one. Although there are countless treasures in Magic Moon and Saint Bikoa, there is no one. Purple crown stone.”
Abzi nodded and said: "When you say that, I know how powerful it is. As expected of a woman, she knows so much about gems and even knows such things."
Alice couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked Ruola said: "How do you recognize this is the Purple Crown Stone? Even I recall this gem. It took me a long time to remember it. Even if most people have heard of it, they shouldn’t know it.”
Ruola said hurriedly: “I didn’t know this gem was so precious, but your master once gave it to me. It was mentioned in the information I read.”
“Oh, that’s it.” Alice wondered again: "But why did you say such a strange curse? As shown on the mural, this bracelet was given to Princess Green Algae by Glonas. He could even give such a precious thing to Green Algae. Princess Zao, it shows how loving they are.”
“That’s it. " Ruola explained patiently: "In the information that Celeste showed me, there was a large section on the Purple Crown Stone that mentioned the ancient Phoenician Kingdom. I was curious. I went to the Tuwei Museum to check the relevant documents and found that the purple crown stone has a meaning.”
Alice nodded and said: "I know this. The purple crown stone symbolizes the angel king in heaven who bestows the greatest blessings on the people he cares about. Anyone who is favored will become a great king and a saint respected by the world. "
Ruola said: "But in the ancient Phoenician kingdom, wearing the purple crown stone had another meaning. Wearing it on the left hand symbolizes power, control and supremacy, while wearing it on the right hand represents death, abyss, and the inexhaustible sinking, where one will have to endure all the sufferings of hell until the soul is annihilated.”
""The Picture of the Sand God Fighting the Sky"!" Alice suddenly thought of the picture she saw in Princess Amber's tomb.
“You also know?” Ruola looked at Alice.
“Go on.”
Ruola said: "In the myths and legends of ancient Phoenicians, they regard angels as demons and heaven as hell. In their eyes, angels and heaven are their enemies. The purple crown stone, which is considered to be a symbol of the King of Angels, The opinions are also different. And if you look at this picture, Glonus put the purple crown stone bracelet on Princess Green Algae’s right hand instead of her left hand. He is the monarch of a country, doesn’t he know the meaning?”
Everyone looked at the realistic shapes on the mural, the smile in the corners of Glonas’ eyes and the joy of Princess Green Algae, if they didn’t know Ruola? Based on what I just said, everyone thinks it is a beautiful story, and I am afraid even Princess Green Algae herself thinks so. But now that I saw in their eyes, Glonus's smile was more hypocritical and sinister, which made people sick.
Ruola added: "And according to the history I read later, Princess Green Algae has a very bad image. She is greedy, vicious, and has endless desires. Historical data records that she tortured and killed maids and her own maids. And those non-official records say that she tortured and killed more than 140,000 slaves and servants, and the people regarded her as the incarnation of the devil."
