Chapter 827 The Most Important Place
The bell echoed over the ancient tomb, long and loud.
The little brother had keen hearing and immediately identified the direction of the bell, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
"Twenty kilometers away."
The sound of the bell spread for twenty kilometers and was still loud. How big must this bell be?
Wuxie asked quickly.
"Who's ringing the bell?"
Xiao Wu's expression suddenly became tense and he said in a deep voice.
"This is the mechanism in the ancient tomb. It will sound automatically every twelve hours."
"Everyone, come with me quickly, we can't stay here any longer!"
After saying that, he ran towards the outside of the temple.
Although everyone didn't know what happened, they could only run after her.
Wuxie asked immediately after catching up.
"What happened?"
Xiao Wu replied while running.
"The bell is not only used to tell the time, but also the starter of the entire mechanism system. Every twelve hours, all the mechanisms will be triggered in sequence to eliminate external intruders!"
There are thousands of mechanisms in the ancient tomb, spread out in almost every corner, forming an airtight network.
Only those who are familiar with the rules of the agency can avoid these traps.
After Xiao Wu was brought here by the old man, it took him a long time to become familiar with the operating rules of the agency system, but he only mastered a small part.
She didn't dare to run around in the ancient tomb. She could only move within the areas she knew well, and most of the areas were restricted areas that she couldn't set foot in!
When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help crying.
"You don't even understand, so you brought us here? You are kidding with human lives!"
Xiao Wu said quickly.
"Don't worry, in the area I'm familiar with, as long as you don't run around, you'll be fine."
Wuxie immediately thought of a question.
"If that's the case, wouldn't there be most places that we can't go to?"
"Then how can we help you decrypt it?"
Xiao Wu replied.
"I have been studying the organization distribution map, and the area where I can move will become larger and larger."
"Stop talking, it's almost here!"
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed forward, and a tall tower appeared deep in the woods in the distance.
"You'll be fine once you enter the tower, hurry up!"
Everyone quickened their pace, and it wasn't long before they walked through the woods and arrived at the tower.
When I looked up, I saw that the tower was more than 200 meters high, equivalent to a building with more than 60 floors!
The tower base covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters. The tower is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is a standard octahedron.
The front door is about three meters high, and there are two stone sculptures standing at the door.
Wuxie couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so big, bigger than the Zhang Family Ancient Building..."
Before he finished speaking, the fat man pulled him into the door.
"Stop talking nonsense and come in quickly!"
After everyone came in, the door was closed immediately.
I heard the sound of howling wind coming from outside the door, and the sound of the wind was also mixed with some sounds that sounded like crying, like ghosts crying and gods howling.
The strong wind lasted for several minutes before calming down.
After it was quiet, Xiao Wu wiped his sweat and said.
"Okay, within twelve hours, it will be safe here."
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and look at the interior of the tower.
I saw many luminous stones inlaid on the wall, which looked like some kind of ore, and soft light filled every corner.
The hall on the first floor was empty, with nothing in it, as if it had been looted by robbers.
The fat man couldn't help but frown.
"Why is there nothing? What is the purpose of building such a big tower?"
Xiao Wu replied slightly excitedly.
"This is one of the three most important places in the ancient tomb, the ziggurat!"
It turns out that there are three most important buildings in this ancient tomb, namely the Ziggurat in the southeast, the Pantheon in the northwest, and the giant bronze tree in the center.
These three buildings are located in a straight line that runs through the entire ancient tomb. The most important of them is the giant bronze tree, which is the core building of the entire ancient tomb.
In other words, this ancient tomb was built for the bronze tree.
But no one knows what this thing is or what it is used for.
We don’t even know the real name of the Bronze Tree.
The fat man couldn't help but complain.
"You don't know anything, so how can we help you? You should know something, right?"
Xiao Wu smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet."
Among these three buildings, the purpose of the other two is not yet known, but the secret of this ziggurat has been revealed.
The ziggurat is used to store important information. All the important clues about the ancient tomb are in this tower!
It was precisely for this reason that Xiao Wu brought them here.
After speaking, she added.
"The layout of the ancient tomb mechanisms is also here. As long as you can learn them all, you can avoid all the mechanisms and enter the giant bronze tree."
The fat man couldn't help scratching his head.
"So, you haven't been to the Bronze Tree yet?"
Xiao Wu shook his head helplessly and said.
"Except for the ancestors, no one has ever touched the Bronze Tree. I can only rely on you."
The fat man immediately waved his hand.
"I hate reading and studying the most. This kind of brain-consuming work should be left to Tianzhen. He is good at this."
"You guys chat, I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
Wang Kaixuan also expressed quickly.
"Old Wang, I don't care about doing dirty work and tiring work, but forget about this delicate work."
Shirley Young couldn't help but feel amused.
"I don't expect you two either, just don't cause trouble."
Wuxie asked impatiently.
"Where are all the information? Take us there."
Xiao Wu walked to the stairs and waved.
"Go up, the important information is up there."
This tower has a total of 18 floors. The more important the information is, the higher it is stored.
There are countless people who have spent their entire lives in this tower studying these information, but they can only decrypt up to the twelfth floor. No one has ever been to the six floors above.
The fat man couldn't help but say.
"There is no administrator here, why don't you go directly to the top floor?"
"Wait down there, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Xiao Wu smiled lightly and said.
"Although there is no administrator, there are mechanisms here."
It turns out that each floor is set up with a password mechanism. Only by unlocking these codes can you open the mechanism and go to the next floor.
And the clues to unlock the password are in those materials.
Wu Xie was immediately interested when he heard it.
"So, no one has been able to uncover the last six codes for thousands of years? Interesting!"
You know, the people invited here are all experts in history and archaeology, as well as top masters in the tomb-robbing world.
For thousands of years, countless great scholars have spent their lives studying here, but they have not been able to solve the mystery.
This shows how difficult this code is!
Hu Bayi is more concerned about another question, what attracted these people to stay here willingly for a lifetime?
As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the second floor.
Xiao Wu pointed and said.
"All the secrets of the ancient tomb are here, I rely on you!"
Everyone looked closely and saw dozens of stone pillars standing in the middle of the hall, with exquisite relief murals carved on them.
The eight walls were also covered with murals, which was simply a treasure trove of ancient murals!
