The stone door was extremely high.
It was at least ten to twenty feet.
At this moment, standing under the door, Wang Cheng had a rare feeling of insignificance.
On the stone door, there were countless embossed. The top was the stars in the sky, and the bottom was rare birds and beasts.
"This is the famous Quyang Stone Sculpture of the Ming Dynasty. In such a large place, at least six or seven carving techniques were used.”
Wu Xie studied architecture.
He had been obsessed with ancient carving for a long time, and had even gone to Quyang and Yi County to study the differences between the two schools of stone carving.
That was why he was able to recognize the complicated carving technique on the stone door.
"Can you see the meaning of these embossed?”
Wang Cheng looked at him and asked.
"Stars, birds, and strange beasts all have good meanings in ancient culture, but they don't mean anything.”
Wu Xie shook his head.
"Cheng, now is not the time to discuss academics. We should first study how to enter the school.”
Hearing Wu Xie talk about those embossed sculptures, Fatty was confused and quickly changed the topic.
The others also looked at him.
Wang Cheng nodded." Then let's see what's inside."”As soon as he finished speaking, he had already stretched out his hand and his finger gently brushed across the stone door.
The entire stone door emitted a faint chill.
This was the most direct impression.
The embossed sculpture was polished to the point of being smooth as jade, as if it had been soaked in spring water. There was no rough edge to be felt. Just based on the carving technique, the person who carved the stone door must have been the top master at that time.
Wang Cheng didn't know any skills, but he had appraisal techniques.
Any object that had been around for a long time had its own quality.
If this stone door was classified according to the grades of grave robbers, it would be at least a three-cauldron funerary object.
Since ancient times, there had been a saying in the circle that the five cauldrons were the highest level of funerary objects. Each of them could be called an important national artifact. Even in the Palace Museum, it was difficult to find a trace of them.
The three cauldrons were already the highest grade funerary objects in ordinary ancient tombs.
One could imagine the value of this stone door.
However, Wang Cheng did not think too much about its value. Instead, he quietly closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Fatty and the others looked at each other. They saw a trace of confusion in their eyes, but no one said anything. Instead, they waited quietly.
Only the little brother who had transformed into Baldy Zhang had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This was Hair Hill Sect's martial arts.
He had always thought that Wang Cheng was a descendant of a gold digger, but now, it seemed that there was a deviation from his expectations.
At this moment, Wang Cheng, who had his eyes closed, seemed to have blocked all the noise around him. He could only feel the slight vibration from his fingertips.
The movement was so subtle that it would be ignored if one wasn't careful.
However, he still caught it.
That was…flowing water!
Wang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. He had already made a rough decision in his heart.
Water Force Machine
The mechanism of the stone door was part of the entire underwater tomb.
Based on the size of the ancient tomb, there should not be a simple spring at the bottom, but an active volcano. Using the energy from the volcanic eruption, he kept pushing the mechanism to operate.
He could sense the slight movement from the stone door.
"How is it, Cheng? Have you found a way out?”
Seeing that his tightly furrowed brows had relaxed, Fatty quickly asked.
"I have a general idea."
Wang Cheng nodded.
"What do we do?"
"This is a huge water trap tomb. If you want to open the stone door, you have to find the formation core.”
Fatty was confused." Where is the formation core?"”
"It's hidden here." Wang Cheng pointed at the embossed on the stone door." The person who built this ancient tomb is extremely smart. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's a genius. Along the way, the layout of the tomb is consistent with the five elements and eight trigrams.”
"He hid the formation eye of the mechanism in the relief embossed as a test.”
"Only those who can solve it are qualified to enter.”
"What if you can't solve it?"
Hua Zi asked suspiciously.
"Then you can try using explosives, but I think it's going to be tough.”
As soon as Wang Cheng said this, Liu Zi immediately understood that he was referring to the scene in the Lu Palace where he used explosives to open the cave roof.
"This person probably already knew that there would be descendants entering the tomb, so he chose this method.”
Wu Xie raised his eyebrows." What about the crossbow arrow formation? No ordinary person could survive. In short, this kind of person couldn't be speculated with common sense. Who knew what he was thinking?”
"That's true. However, if any of you are good at deciphering, you can try to take a look.”
Wang Cheng nodded and swept his gaze across the crowd.
"Let me try?"
Wu Xie volunteered. He had some knowledge of carving, ancient characters, and calligraphy. Especially that silk scroll from the Warring States Period, it made him think of many things.
Perhaps, just like the painting, the formation eye was written on the embossed.
The others also rushed forward, trying to crack this mechanism.
Stars, flying beasts, mutated beasts?
Three different embossed kept flashing in Wang Cheng's mind. Suddenly, his gaze landed on one of them.
The Big Dipper.
According to the Burial Sutra, the Big Dipper coincided with the celestial phenomena and meant immortality.
Could it be…
"I know. The seventh star of the Big Dipper is water. This place is driven by water, and the center of the formation is in the embossed of the Big Dipper.”
Just as Wang Cheng thought of this, a voice sounded from the side.
This is Wu Xie.
He was indeed capable. He broke the array in such a short time and pressed down on the seventh star. The stone door that was originally tightly sealed slowly opened with a crack under everyone's amazed gazes.
