Chapter 245: Candlestick
The door is not open at a large angle, and it seems that something is blocking inside. However, this width is enough to allow a child like Xinwu to enter.
Xin Wu carefully stretched out one foot and first swept half a circle inside the door. He felt that the ground was very flat. When the angle was about 120 degrees, he bumped into a hard thing, and then measured it with his toes. This thing was very regular and a round object with a fat belly.
"What is this?"
Xin Wu judged that there was no danger for the time being, so he entered his whole body, handed the sapphire in his left hand, held the lighting high, and touched it with his right hand: this half-facing the right half-door is a tall long-necked copper pot, and the neck stalks on the neck are two meters high, plus all the shapes on the top, this is an extra-large copper pot with a total height of at least 6 meters, which is pure Middle Eastern Arabic style.
"when---"
Xin Wu knocked it. In addition to the thick dust under the fluttering vibration, a very clear metal hit sound came from the sound of the pot, which should be hollow, otherwise the echo would not be so long.
Looking behind the door on the left, there was another copper pot, exactly the same tall. These two huge copper pots were just a pair, just like the guardians of the door, but their location was no longer "centered". The right side was closer to the center line of the door. It seemed that someone had moved but could not move it away. It should be because it was heavy!
"Dang, Dangdang——" Xin Wu also tapped the left one. The tone was different. There might be something inside, which made the space worse than the right one. The tone was raised several degrees and was much shorter.
"I can't climb up anyway, so I'd better wait for Shi Baoshan to come and check it!"
Xin Wu looked at the tall pot on the left with a very self-awareness and gave up more actions.
Further inside, there is a very long corridor with an arch-shaped top and the walls are four or five meters high. There seems to be many decorative paintings on the top. On both sides of the corridor, the walls are also made of whole large stones, very regular. Every five meters, there is a depression square hole with a height of about 1.8 meters. There is something in each hole. Xin Wu jumped hard a few times, and it depends on the moment of the height to judge that it is a candlestick, the type that can be used to put oil, and it is also a Greek-style shape.
"Oh! I'm still too short. I'll wait until Huodun and Baoshan are coming down. I'll take three personal ladders and you should be able to see clearly."
Walking further forward, this corridor turned out to be a "pure corridor", about twenty meters long. When you walk to the end, it is a "dead end". There are no door holes on both sides that can be entered and exited, only uniform walls stand tall.
"It should be impossible, right? There is no way out? Then why are you doing such a busy aisle?"
Xin Wu looked confused and felt that this was illogical. There should be a secret door or something hidden under a certain stone, right? There will always be such a design in many adventure-themed film and television works. It should not be so simple, so there is no following.
Xin Wu slipped back and forth a few times, touched the left and right walls carefully, and tried to tap them with his knuckles a few times. The sound was not uniform, as if the space behind the wall was also solid, hollow, and not so regular.
Just as he was wandering, thinking for a while, and not prepared, Jumen let out a "creak", which scared him.
"Brother Xinwu, are you okay?!"
The one who speaks is the Fire Dun.
It turned out that it was Shi Baoshan and Huodun and the others, so they couldn't wait and got down to the end.
"I just called you outside for a long time, but there was no response. I only heard a few 'Dangdang'. I wonder if something happened to you, so we came down to find you quickly. Alas! We were scared to death!"
Shi Baoshan said, patting Xinwu on the shoulder and confirming that he was intact.
As the first person to enter the castle, Dial was the second person to see the appearance of this inner hall. So, after confirming Xinwu's safety, he walked again along the footprints that Xinwu had just walked out of it, and said in surprise: "There is no more road here? How strange?"
When Huodun heard that there was no road, he was very unbelievable and wandered around. He really didn't see any signs of a door opening. There were solid walls, small depressions in the wall, arches, two giant pots, and nothing else was left.
"Baoshan, I just jumped up and looked at it. There are two rows of candlesticks. The three of us take a personal ladder. You stand on it and get one down to see if there are any other possibilities!"
When Xinwu saw that there were all the people, he quickly told him the plan.
"No problem! Come on!"
They chose the first square hole in the right wall closest to the door.
Xinwu and Huodun set up a pair of standing "people ladders" side by side; and Diar bent over and held the wall to act as the first "stairs" of Shi Baoshan. Baoshan was very light and soon stood on both shoulders of the double ladder. In order to be as high as Huodun, Xinwu also deliberately spread his legs wider at an angle.
"I saw it, it's a candlestick! Then I'll take it down!"
Baoshan said above, Xinwu said below: "Okay, okay, take it down!"
The friends gathered together and looked at the candlestick in Baoshan's hand, which looked a bit like a small boat and a canopy. There was a small square hole above this "canopy", and the pointed bow, the entire "cabin" underneath, was piled with thick gray on it, but the gray, because it was just taken down, had layers of "ripples" shapes, and together with the gray layer above, were shaking slightly, and it seemed that there was liquid underneath.
"Huodun, do a favor. Can you lend you a few pieces of hair to use?"
Because the light was dark, the light of the four blue gems was not enough to see clearly what material the candlestick in the shape of this boat was made of. The heads were tied relatively close. The explosive hair on the Huodun end, with curly tail tips, was almost swept into the gray layer on the pointed end of the boat. This also gave Xin Wu inspiration, so he smiled and made a request to Huodun.
"What a big deal! Come, I'll give it to you!"
Huodun grabbed the one in front that always blocked his sight, and quickly grabbed a few of them and handed them to Xin Wu, then asked, "How to use it?"
Xin Wu gathered the bunch of hair together and turned it into a small brush. He swept the ash on the surface of the candlestick up and down, left and right. The dust particles were too small and almost became nano-level. After sweeping, a stream of smoke rose in the air, instead of the way that large particles of sand would fall, filling the air.
"You guys can disperse quickly and keep breathing!"
Xin Wu didn't expect this to be the case, so he quickly took the candlestick and turned back, avoiding the center surrounded by four people, and loudly reminding the three of them.
Chapter completed!
