The vibrations in the tomb began to get louder and louder, and more and more bronze sacred trees fell down. I didn't dare to look back, because many places behind me had turned into black holes that could not be seen to the end.
This makes me more and more afraid. Will we run out of time?
Will the abyss catch up with us in the next moment?
"do not give up!"
Lao Jiang's powerful voice sounded from the front, pulling me back from my confusion and despair: "The main tomb passage is just ahead."
This sentence gave me great courage. I even felt that the silver bells on my back disappeared and my feet became extremely light.
I was shot out like an arrow. However, when I came to Lao Jiang, I realized that the end was not the main tomb passage or the main tomb chamber.
A cold and majestic bronze door blocked our only way out...
However, the rumbling sounds behind us continued, and the earth-shaking landslides also continued.
"What should we do? We are blocked." At this moment, I was on the verge of collapse.
Yin Ling'er was afraid of heights, so she couldn't help crying when she saw this scene: "Brother Jinglan, I don't want to die here, I don't want to fall."
I didn't bother to comfort her and urged Lao Jiang: "Master, quickly find a way to open the door!"
Lao Jiang was sweating profusely as he groped for the bronze door. The bronze door was not very high, only two meters by visual inspection, and about one and a half meters wide.
But the carving on the bronze door is lifelike. It shows a long-haired man standing by the stream.
There was a silkworm lying on his shoulder.
One hand is raised to the sky, as if it is holding something?
Behind him is a brilliant peach blossom forest, and there is a rising sun above the peach blossom forest.
This image immediately reminded me of the scene I saw when I put on the golden mask.
Obviously, this long-haired man is Silkworm Cong!
Suddenly, Lao Jiang frowned: "I found it. There is a hole in the hand that Cancong raised. It's a keyhole. As long as you find the key, you can open the door..."
But facing the earthquake behind him that was like a tidal wave in the Qiantang River, Lao Jiang was instantly in trouble.
"It's such an emergency at this time, where can we find the key?"
But I stared at the bronze door.
key?
I recited this word silently, and then pointed to the most suspicious directions: "Master, please check the sun, silkworms, and peach blossom forest to see if there are keys in these places?"
Lao Jiang continued to explore along the tomb door. In order to save time, while he went to check the peach blossom forest, I went to look at the sun.
Sure enough, there was a small key hidden in the flames of the blazing sun. This key was embedded in the groove. After I buckled it, I discovered that it was a golden key.
I was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I found the key!"
However, the voice that rang out at the same time as mine was Old Jiang, who also shouted the same sentence: "I found the key."
It turned out that he found a key on the silkworm and the peach blossom tree.
They are a cyan key and a pink key. The cyan key is shaped like a silkworm spinning silk, and the other key is like five petals.
"That's it, the key has been found. Let's unlock it quickly." I was so happy that I took the key in my hand to unlock it.
But Lao Jiang stopped me and said, "You have to choose one of the three keys to open any lock."
"Can't it be done just by trying them one by one?" I asked doubtfully.
Facing my confusion, Lao Jiang had no choice but to explain: "This is a secret lock. The keyhole is disposable. As long as you open it wrongly, the whole door will never be opened! It would be okay if there is only one key. Now it appears." Got three, it’s obviously Cancon Cong’s test for our group of newcomers!”
"Let us bet our own fate!"
His words undoubtedly hit us to the bottom. We didn’t know Silkworm Cong, so we didn’t know which key to choose.
At this time, Chief Acuo spoke: "Choose gold. Gold represents the sun. This is the belief of the ancient Shu country. You are right to choose it."
Lao Jiang shook his head. In his opinion, the green key represented silkworms and the green-robed god himself.
In two senses, it is right to choose the blue key.
Everyone was persuaded by Lao Jiang, but just as Lao Jiang raised the cyan key and was about to insert it, I suddenly reached out to stop him: "No! No, I have seen this picture, and I have always believed that the silkworm bush can really stay in ancient Shu. The thing about the country is not the sun, nor anything else, but a peach blossom that haunts him."
"The hand he raised must be holding a peach blossom!"
Peach blossom?
Everyone was a little surprised, after all, the pink key was the most unlikely.
But Yin Ling'er stood firmly on my side: "Often the most unlikely one is the most correct one. I believe in brother Jinglan!"
Seeing that the collapse continued behind us, almost the entire bronze forest disappeared, and a dark underground pit gave us great fear.
Our time is running out...
Chief Acuo and Ge Weihan both urged Lao Jiang to open the door with the blue key, but Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and said to me: "Li Jinglan, give me another reason to convince myself!"
I didn't have time to explain too much, so I could only tell them simply: "Every time I put on the bronze mask, I will see some scenes from the ancient Shu Kingdom. I am very sure that the green-clad god Cancong is missing the moment he closes his eyes. It’s definitely not faith and power, it’s always the peach blossom that really moves him.”
"It was Taohua who saved him in the forest. It was Taohua who accepted the refugees. It was Taohua who helped everyone integrate into the ancient Shu Kingdom."
"It was Taohua who used her own life to make him understand that people have responsibilities and should not just escape by wandering!"
"Why did the God in Tsing Yi wander around? It was because he couldn't find a place that could keep him. The peach blossoms allowed him to truly have seven emotions and six desires, and understand family, friendship, and love in the world."
"But while a person has family, friendship, and love, he also gradually develops responsibilities..."
"So, the God in Tsing Yi chose to stay in the ancient Shu Kingdom forever, led everyone to declare war on the invaders, and chose to be crowned king! But what he did was not for faith, but for everyone to live in the beautiful Peach Blossom Land."
"No more war, no more suffering, no more sacrifice of a kind and sweet girl like Taohua!"
At this point, my eyes were already a little moist, but a trace of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
I don't know if my guess is right, but I can clearly feel Cancong's mood at that time.
If anyone can enter the main tomb with his permission, it must be someone like Taohua!
Seeing that what I said was reasonable, Lao Jiang gritted his teeth and growled: "Eighteen years later, you will be a good man again. Master believes in you."
He solemnly placed the five-petal key in my hand!
