Chapter 17 Snail Platform
After culling the remaining ignorant white spiders, the surroundings became quiet again, but it was dead silence. As a human shield, No. 56 naturally walked in the front position. After experiencing all kinds of weird and mysterious experiences at this time, No. 56 no longer dared to pry into this trip. It’s really like taking two glances with one step and looking back three times with one move. But this time no mechanism was triggered.
Below the secret passage is an urn-shaped stone chamber with a large mouth and a small belly, about fifty square meters in size, and four rather tattered-looking rectangular stone platforms are placed in the dead corners of the stone chamber. On the front are two sealed stone doors. On the left side is a sculpture of the Quetzalcoatl flying with wings, and on the right side is a sculpture of the most cherished god of the Mayans: the kingly power of the Sun God.
The stone door is tightly closed. If you push it tentatively with your hand, you can feel the door being slightly loose. Lin Yinxiu suddenly stopped No. 56 who was about to exert his strength and said seriously:
"Wait a minute, look under the stone door!"
Lin Yinxiu knelt down and gently wiped the bottom of the stone door with two fingers. After the thick dust was wiped away, two clear chutes could be seen carved out there. Obviously, the normal way to open this stone door is not by pushing or pulling, but it will automatically slide in to both sides after starting the mechanism.
Then they found three small holes next to the stone door. Next to the holes were four boxes covered with dust. After sweeping away the thick dust on them, they opened the boxes and found that they were filled with broken pieces of four colors. Cracked gems, the colors of the gems are red, yellow, blue, and green respectively. The gems are clattering in the box, even though they have been accumulated for thousands of years. It still looks shiny with no trace of dirt.
Then a long section of ancient Mayan text appeared below. After Lin Yinxiu translated it, he realized that it was both a fable and a sacrificial text, and it was even more like a curse. He sent it to Fang Lin on the spot. Fortunately, this satellite video phone is powered by NASA's advanced lithium battery, which can last for three months, so it will not appear due to lack of power. The phenomenon of disconnection.
Fang Lin pondered for a while and said:
"The three holes on the stone door should correspond to the three colors of gems contained in the box. Most of the way to open the stone door is to put in the color and quantity of gems. If it is destroyed violently, I am afraid it will trigger various This is a mechanism. This inscription engraved on the stone should be a reminder to open this stone door. I will take it and analyze it. Please wait. "
If Fang Lin was here, Lin Yinxiu and No. 56 would of course be too lazy to use their brains. The two had been fighting fiercely for a long time, so they sat next to them and planned to take a rest. The ground here was covered with dust, and there were no stools or anything like that. So No. 56 casually sat on a bluestone in the corner of the stone room. When he swept away the dust on it, he suddenly discovered that there were regular small holes in the bluestone. It feels as if it is artificially created.
No. 56 then moved left and right, but still couldn't get the point. The last punch hit the surface of the bluestone. Although he was an agility expert, his strength value was definitely not low. This punch goes up. A clear crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the bluestone, and then it scattered with a crash. A large amount of gravel collapsed, and gray fog filled the air. Then a corpse among them was revealed.
Before Lin Yinxiu came here, he also checked a lot of information about the Maya people. After taking a look at it, he immediately said:
"Isn't this a special urn coffin made by the Mayans?"
She immediately walked over, and after careful inspection, she discovered that the tattered bluestones in the four corners of the secret room were actually urn coffins, and they were covered with two layers. The inner layer was a wooden coffin, and the deepest layer was wrapped in linen. Complete cloth coffin. The upper part or lid of the urn coffin has small holes and exquisite patterns. It's very strange. The bones in each coffin were very thin and small. It looked like they should have been buried directly as children, and the bones of a finger were placed awkwardly in the center of each deceased's skull.
"This should be a unique custom of the Mayans in burying their children. After a particularly distressed child dies, they will be buried with a piece of their mother's finger. Not only does it mean that the fingers are connected to the heart, but it also means that the child's soul will return to them under guidance."
Fang Lin was operating the computer at high speed on the other end of the phone, while he was distractedly looking at their new discovery. After removing the four stone urn coffins. Four strange and mysterious symbols appeared below. Although the color of the symbol has not faded after thousands of years, the color of the symbol is yellow. Red, blue, black, no green.
Fang Lin immediately gave the order:
"The Mayan counting method is from top to bottom. You stay on No. 56 and stuff the gems into the holes of the stone door from top to bottom in the order of yellow one, red two, and blue three. Yinxiu, you exit. Be prepared for the unexpected.”
Hearing the words "just in case of unexpected events", No. 56's face immediately turned blue, but he did not protest again because he knew that his protest would have no effect at all. Fortunately, this guy's eyesight and wrist strength were quite good. He stood at the door of the secret room that looked like a small urn, squinted his eyes, grabbed a few handfuls of gems, and threw them into the small hole one by one. Fang Lin didn't stop him, and No. 56's accuracy was quite high. After throwing the balls into the hole one by one, he made no mistakes.
After waiting for a moment, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the ground. Lin Yinxiu was concentrating on the stone door and was staggered by the shock. Then the stone door retracted to both sides extremely difficultly and obscurely, giving people the impression that it was corroded, but it finally opened.
After waiting for a while, Lin Yinxiu waited for the foul smell inside to dissipate before walking in. She walked to the door and took a look, and suddenly took a breath of cold air. It turned out that there was a downward sloping avenue in front of her. The surface of the avenue was paved with gold. Although it was covered with dust, she stepped lightly with her feet. After that, the golden light was shining and very gorgeous. On both sides of the road, there are dense and deep potholes, as neat as the road protection trees on both sides of the road. The pits are full of bones. Even though thousands of years have passed, the barbaric, bloody, solemn, luxurious and solemn feeling is still vivid, making people full of awe!
Fang Lin on the other end of the video phone seemed to be shocked, and after a while he said:
"According to the data, this should be the holy well recorded in Mayan cultural data. People who are thrown into the well are regarded as a great honor. Their flesh and blood will be sacrificed to the God of Quetzalcoatl, and their souls will be dissolved into the well. In the glory of the Sun God, according to the literature, the front should be the ancient Mayan sacrificial platform built on a high platform in the shape of a snail, also known as the "Snail Platform".
Lin Yinxiu and No. 56 moved forward cautiously. The surroundings were as quiet as a tomb. It seemed that this was the first time in thousands of years that a living person had entered the Mayan ruins after they were sealed. There was only a "tick-tock" sound coming from somewhere that was monotonous and mechanical. But in such an environment, what people thought of was definitely not the sound of water drops, but the sound of blood dripping from the cross section of the neck!
A vague outline of something huge gradually appeared in front of them. Lin Yinxiu raised the tactical spotlight in his hand and saw a majestic high platform. Based on the previous distance traveled, they were already nearly a hundred meters deep underground. Therefore, there is enough space to build such a huge and magnificent platform, but what makes people feel the most uncanny is that the platform is actually made of countless pieces of identical hollow stone sculptures!
A strong and harsh sound of "Ai Ai" suddenly sounded in the air, and it sounded as if thousands of innocent souls were shouting together, and countless horns were blowing. Lin Yinxiu and No. 56 were both shocked, and then the four sides of the altar began to glow with light little by little. Only then did they realize that there were sculptures hanging every ten meters on both sides of the altar. A lifelike crystal skull, with a faint red light emerging from the skull's eye sockets!
The altar is nearly a hundred meters wide and nearly thirty meters high. It stands majestic and majestic. It looks like it has returned to the mysterious, mysterious, rich and bloody Mayan cultural dynasty thousands of years ago. It seems that there are also old and cruel priests wearing ferocious gold masks, waving scepters on the altar, slaughtering prisoners of war and children, and making human sacrifices to their gods.
Lin Yinxiu was lost for a moment and received a reminder from the nightmare mark:
"You have found the Mayan temple. The next goal of the mission is to obtain the Mayan sacred object, the Egg of the Broken King. The time limit for this mission is 6 hours."
Fang Lin suddenly said calmly at this time:
"Excuse me, I have just obtained the image information sent back by the e.s company personnel through the rented infrared military satellite. It shows that Lei Zhe and Jushi chased Lei Luo, who was like a bereaved dog, into a joint container warehouse. The specific situation of the confrontation was Electromagnetic wave shielding, unknown , but through infrared thermal imaging technology scanning, it was detected that one of the three people who entered the warehouse is currently dead... According to the image analysis of the height and volume imaging that was immediately transmitted back, the similarity in body shape to Mr. Dashi is 96.74%... .......Amen.”
