Just as the Qi Sanbiaozi was troubled, Pang Dun was the first to rush forward, wanting to test just how heavy this Stone Door was.
Pang Dun's reminder had a lot of strength behind it, but no matter how hard he tried, the two obsidian stones in front of him didn't budge an inch.
Looking at Pang Dun's panting, Fang Zishu said softly, ”Come back Pang Dun, these two pieces of Obsidian Stone are extremely heavy, each of them have a weight of at least a thousand jin, and you are just one person. No matter how strong you are, you will not be able to open them.”
”If this door weighs over a thousand catties, then we would not be able to open this Stone Door at all!” Pang Dun's face was filled with regret.
Ever since they had entered this natural tomb, they had experienced far too many things, many of them even coming across fatal dangers. They had finally made it to the present, and reached the true tomb of the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was the Stone City in front of them.
But now, they were stopped by the two sets of Obsidian Stone Door at the city gate. This was something that Pang Dun could not accept.
Fang Zishu laughed indifferently, ”That's right, with the strength that we have, even if we gather all of them together, we will still not be able to open this Stone Door. However, I think that although this Stone Door is incomparably heavy, it is definitely not something it cannot open, it is only that we have yet to find a way to open it.”
”I agree with Brother Fang!”
Qi Sanbiaozi nodded, pointed to the two gigantic diagrams on the black key door and said: ”Could the mechanism to open the Stone Door be hidden within the diagrams?” The pattern Qi Sanbiaozi mentioned was the engraved 'door bolt' on the two obsidian gates.
In that era when technology wasn't developed, they didn't want to have automatic locking doors or induction doors at all times. In ancient times, doors were mostly made up of 'handles', 'bolts' and 'crossbars'.
The two circles on the Stone Door were about the size of bowls. Not only were they used as knocks, they also served as handles.
”Perhaps there is some kind of mechanism that can open the Stone Door inside the 'door lock'. We should carefully search for it.”
After the Professor Xu finished speaking, he walked up to the door and used his dry and dry hands to constantly rub the black Stone Door s. He wanted to find the mechanism to activate the Stone Door from the sculptures engraved on the door.
But after a long while, the Professor Xu touched the carving again and again, but he could not find any useful clues, much less news about mechanisms that could open Stone Door s. Although everyone knew that the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty's Main Tomb was definitely hidden in the Stone City, but now that the Stone Door could not be activated, no matter how many ideas they had, it would be difficult.
Moreover, they were not at the cliffs on either side of the moat, but outside the city walls.
The thing that caused them to despair the most was that the height of the black city wall before their eyes had far surpassed the moat they had crossed previously. Facing the wall which was over ten meters tall and without any force that could be used to climb, no matter how skilled Da Zeng was in climbing, it was impossible for him.
Just as everyone started to despair, Fang Zishu continued to walk back and forth along the black city walls.
”Brother Fang, what are you doing?” Qi Sanbiaozi could not help but ask.
But Fang Zishu did not answer his question. Instead, he moved even faster.
