Chapter 25 Strange Temple(2/2)
I swam to the gate with the rose. After a close observation, I found that the gate was more than 8 meters high and was made of pure gold. How much does it cost to have such a large door? When I left, I can see if I can remove the door panels.
"Look at Zi Ri." Rose waved me over. I hurried over, but there was more than one meter deep water at the gate, which made me very difficult to walk. Seeing me approaching, Rose pointed to the words beside the door and said, "Did you see it?"
"I saw it, but I can't understand it!"
"Idiot!" Rose took off my helmet, pressed my cheeks with both hands and tilted my face.
"The formula?"
The text on the door is actually an arithmetic problem, and each number and symbol are rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees. The long string of numbers looks very abstract, and some characters seem to be uneven. There is an equal sign at the end of the string of numbers, but it is also oblique, looking like two vertical lines. Rose follows the arithmetic problem from the left side of the door to the right, and finally finds a circular groove on the right side of the door.
"Husband, give me that original gold plate."
I took out the golden disc and gave it to her. "Isn't this the key?"
"It looks like!" Rose took the original plate for a long time before putting it on, but the door did not respond. "Strange, why didn't you move?"
Seeing that Rose was frustrated, I also began to study those arithmetic problems. I calculated from left to right, and the number was 9.23. What does this number mean? By the way, "Didn't you say that this gold plate looks like a dial? The groove next to the equal sign shows the number, but the number must be displayed by the time on the dial."
"But this thing has no pointers!"
I looked up at the door and found that the pattern on the top of the door was strange. There was a pattern located in the middle of the door, which was a clock, and the shape of that watch was exactly the same as our gold plate. The difference was that it had a needle. "That might be what we need."
"Golden Bell Dish?"
I flew up and grabbed the clock dial. After pulling it gently, the clock dial was really pulled down. It seemed that it was indeed the key. I fell back to the ground and put the clock dial in the groove instead of my gold dial, and then dialed the time until 9:23. When the dial was transferred to the correct time, the door suddenly clicked, and then the two doors retreated into the walls to both sides.
As soon as the gate opened, the water outside immediately poured into the temple, and the water flowed us back into the hall. Fortunately, the hall was only lower in the middle, and the surrounding area was higher than the water. When I climbed up to the heights, I found that the hall did not look like the temple, but it looked like the vestibule of a villa.
"Why do I feel that the decoration here is wrong?" Rose also found the problem.
"I don't know, it may be the designer's bad taste!"
Just as the two of us spoke, the door behind suddenly began to close slowly again. As the door closed, the room fell into darkness, but when the last ray of light disappeared, the torches on the walls in the room suddenly lit up one by one, and the hall returned to light.
Bang! A small hole appeared on the ground in the middle of the hall, and all the water was sucked in. After the water was drained, the hole automatically closed and the room was dry again.
"Welcome, my guests." A sudden loud voice scared us.
"Who are you?"
The voice did not answer my question but said to himself: "For thousands of years, you are the only guests who have entered here. Let's play a game!"
I was about to ask, but the voice began to continue again. "Give you 48 hours, and now start the timing." A small grid suddenly opened on the wall, and a clock stretched out. The second hand above began to move. "These clocks have them in every room, and they are controlled by a center. The center is found within 48 hours and close all clocks. If it succeeds, we will talk about the following things."
"What if we can't finish or refuse to play this boring game?" Rose asked.
