Chapter 23 Chapter 22 Entrance

This sudden shock shocked everyone, everyone staggered and took a big step back, with a "bang", the piece of iron fixed by the bracket was knocked aside, revealing a stone behind. The statue, the iron door that was slowly opened just now suddenly closed again. No one had noticed the existence of this statue just now, but now everyone was frightened by the opening and closing of the iron gate, and all retreated to the position of the statue, staring at the iron gate nervously. Ah Maoji said: "What's going on? Why does this door open and close by itself?" I turned around and looked at the stone statue standing on the side. Under the light of the fire, I could vaguely see a statue of an animal with its tail facing us. From the shape and mighty momentum, I quickly saw that it was a statue of a stone lion. .I walked towards there with a big gun in my hand, and Er Xia followed closely behind me. As I got closer to the stone lion, I felt the gun in my hand shaking uncontrollably, as if being controlled by some invisible force.

"This is a stone sculpture with strong magnetism!" I suddenly understood, turned my head and said to everyone, "This stone lion has a strong magnetism, attracting two iron doors, just now we moved this bracket to block it With it, the magnetism is greatly weakened, so the iron door automatically opens a little, and now when the bracket falls, it is immediately sucked back to its original position." Ah Yan took a closer look, nodded and said: "Then it should be like this, iron things have the effect of shielding magnetism, you should be right!" After a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Shisan suddenly stepped forward and pointed at the stone lion, "Why is there such a stone lion here?" side wall.

We didn't understand what was going on for a while, and we ran behind him one by one with guns on our shoulders. We stopped at the opposite wall and found that there was an identical stone lion here.I took a look at the location just now, and found that the two stone lions were standing on the two sides of the iron gate, very powerful. "It's a stone sculpture of a male lion!" I turned to Liu Shisan and said, Liu Shisan nodded, then looked at the two iron doors thoughtfully and said: "Both are male lions. It's very similar to the style of the Central Plains, not like that of a minority, why are there still such two lions guarding the cave in this ancient barren land?"

Er Xia circled around the stone lion in front of him, looked again and again, scratched his head and said, "Master! How did you see that both of them are male lions? How did you know that? Are you so sure?" We all Smiling, Mao Jindao said: "Where can a stone lion tell what is male and female? We are looking at the things under its paws. If there are balls under its paws, it symbolizes the unification of the universe and supreme power, then it is a male lion; Stepping on a lion cub under its paws symbolizes endless descendants, and that is a lioness. Both of them are stepping on balls, which means they are both male lions. It seems that there is still heaven and earth in this iron gate!"

Er Xia nodded. Hearing what Liu Shisan and Mao Jindao said, I immediately felt that it was a bit unusual for a lion to guard this barren cave.The ancients usually put a pair of stone lions or copper lions outside the gate of the palace or mansion to protect the Lord and ward off evil spirits, and to show dignity and majesty.Although the huge iron gate in front of me looks a bit old, it still does not lose the word "majesty" in terms of shape and momentum. "Hey! Master Liu! Huanzi!" Er Xia said, "Just now the door was not attracted by the magnetic lion, so it was gently opened. Maybe this door is just a cover. What's going on here?"

Liu Shisan didn't speak, just waved his hand lightly, and everyone immediately approached that side, continued to support the support just now to block the front of the magnetic lion, and then pushed the iron door hard together.Sure enough, the iron door could indeed be pushed open. I didn't feel much force, and we pushed the iron door open a gap of one meter wide. Several people held up their flashlights to illuminate the interior, and got in one by one. The scene behind this door makes me a little unbelievable. This space including the roof and the ground is covered with blue bricks. It feels like I have entered a tunnel, and the tunnel is not straight. It bends and seems to lead to somewhere in front, surrounded by black holes, and soon submerges us in the darkness. The strong light of the flashlight shines on the front and is immediately absorbed by the darkness. We can only use a little light around us to carry a big gun Move your steps carefully.

I don't feel very scared at the moment. I feel more tired and sleepy. I have tossed and tossed for a whole day. At the moment, my legs are sore, my eyelids are fighting, and my stomach is growling. There were corpses all over the ground, the acid water in the stomach kept churning, and the strong appetite was forcibly suppressed, it was really miserable. I believe that other people feel the same way, so after walking for a long time, I directly suggested to rest on the spot. Everyone clapped their hands and agreed, and they sat on the hard stone ground. My legs were broken, and whoever does not agree to rest will let me be carried on his back!"

Mao Jindao sat on the ground and moved his body over and said, "Then whose back is my leg broken? Is it you, Brother Xia?" Er Xia replied: "Your figure can be carried by two or three people. "After hearing this, several people chuckled a few times. Er Xia stretched his waist, looked around alertly and said, "Huanzi! I don't understand why, what are we doing here? What kind of place is this? It can't be some kind of Japanese military arsenal, right? " Mao Jindao leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette and handed it to Er Xia to light it, and then lit her own words that were about to take over Er Xia, A Yan rubbed her shoulder and said, "I don't think it's a Japanese soldier." The arsenal, such a long tunnel, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to build it in a short period of time. And there are those strange carvings on the wall, like some kind of totem, with a certain meaning, who has time to build the fortifications Carve these?"

Er Xia was obviously very dissatisfied with her teasing herself in front of everyone just now, so he wanted to argue with her now, and said in a strange voice on purpose: "Then what if these bricks were taken from other places? What buildings were demolished by the Japanese soldiers?" This is also possible!" A Yan said angrily: "You said it is possible, but even if the materials are supplied, I think it is still impossible to build such a huge fortification in a short period of time." Er Xia immediately replied: "How do you know that it was built in a short period of time? Maybe it was built secretly for a long time..." I saw that the two of them were going on forever, so I quickly made peace with the old man. Pulling Er Xia aside, Ah Yan turned her head with a "hum" when she saw this, and went to study the map with Liu Shisan and Hong Ge.

I was hungry and sleepy at the moment, but I still had no appetite at all. I couldn’t eat the breaded chicken legs that Er Xia gave me, so I just lay down on the ground resentfully, stretched my waist, and my eyelids immediately glued together affectionately. When they got together, they were about to be in a daze for a while, when Ah Yan cried out in surprise again: "It can't be such a coincidence, can it? We really bumped into each other by mistake this time?" I opened my eyes subconsciously, but my body was too lazy to move. Except for Hong Ge who was still carefully wiping the 38 cover in his hand, they all rushed over as if they had discovered a new land. He straightened up and moved over to them.

Liu Shisan pointed to the crooked line on the map and said to me: "Xiao Xu, you came just in time! Come and have a look!" After speaking, he quickly unfolded the satellite map, and pointed to a place near the temple gate. Chu said, "Look! We are at this location now, and it seems that we are not very far from the temple gate. There is such an iron gate guarded by stone lions in this place. It is very likely that this is the entrance of a palace! Could it be that this place is connected to That giant door?" I was startled suddenly, and my sleepiness was greatly reduced: "What palace? Snake Palace?" I immediately realized that if there is a palace here, it is likely to be the Snake Palace we were looking for. Could it be that we really hit it this time? In this snake palace? Er Xia was about to speak, Ah Yan raised her eyes and glared at him, I stopped Er Xia with a smile and signaled her to speak first.A Yan then said: "I'm not sure if it's true, I noticed the carvings on the brick wall just now, they are more like things of ethnic minorities, I didn't quite understand them!" After speaking, she turned to look at Liu Shisan: "It's still a long way from the Snake Hoop Mountain. How could there be a Snake Palace? Could it be that the Snake Palace really has such a large scale?" Heizi took it and said: "The legendary Snake Palace has nine gates underground, it's very big. Shehou Mountain can be regarded as the Snake Emperor's bedroom, or the place where it handles political affairs!" Color, voice also became trembling. Liu Shisan followed with a melancholy face, and sighed, perhaps because he mentioned Shehuan Mountain, and that experience still haunts him to this day.Liu Shisan smiled wryly, and said lightly: "Twenty years ago, if I really couldn't help but look back, what would I have seen? I don't know if I will have the opportunity to witness it again this time, but May God not let me leave with regrets!" When Er Xia heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Hey! I said Master Liu, the brothers are out to do things, you can say something to encourage everyone, don't shake the morale of the army here! Who is the Snake King? I won't I believe we really can't cure it!" Then he stood up, held his gun high and patted his chest. Liu Shisan shook his head with a smile, and continued to study the map. I sat next to him and stared at the map. I raised the flashlight and looked around. The light of the flashlight still quickly disappeared not far ahead. It's not far away at all. "What's the matter?" I wondered, "This flashlight is very strong, why can't it take a part of it here?" I clapped the wolf-eye flashlight in my hand, wondering if it was out of power, and took a photo I felt dizzy again. Mao Jindao reached out to stop it and said, "It has something to do with the environment here. It's too dark and absorbs too much light. Maybe there's some interference!" My heart skipped a beat, and I looked around nervously. Er Xia looked at me strangely and asked, "Huanzi! What are you looking for? What did you find?" I rubbed my forehead and thought for a while: That's right, with such a structure and such a situation, I suddenly thought of something, and said nervously to everyone: "If I guess correctly, if you keep going forward, there must be more Two doors!" Er Xia and A Yan blurted out almost at the same time: "What does that mean?" A Yan gave Er Xia a white look, and Er Xia shook his head and said, "Okay! Then let me confirm it to Huanzi to see if it's the same Something!" After speaking, he turned around and walked forward quickly, Hong Ge immediately got up and followed. "Be careful!" Before I could stop them, the two disappeared into the darkness without a trace. One minute, two minutes... Everyone waited anxiously. I secretly scolded Er Xia for being too hasty. Approaching here, Er Xia yelled loudly: "Huanzi! That's right! As you said, there are also two doors in front." Seeing that Er Xia came back safely, I let out a long sigh of relief, but soon, a trace of nervousness and panic swept over my heart.
