Five hundred and five, waiting to open the secret door
The adventuring party made stops along the way, and finally reached the edge of the southern branch and turned onto another, narrower ridge.
Looking down, everyone could find themselves at the top of the cliff at the mouth of the valley, overlooking everyone's temporary campsite, and sure enough, as depicted on the map, the secret door was in this direction.
Everyone cautiously leaned against the right mountain wall, and walked forward one after another, this difficult road made Zhu Linglu feel a headache again, he was originally a person who was a little afraid of heights, but fortunately Zhu Linglu persevered.
Finally the mountain wall disappeared, and they came to a green grassy and silent col.
Due to the high entrance to this col, it is completely invisible from below, and from further afield it looks like a dark chasm.
This is not a cave, it is an open space, but on the other side of it is a mountain wall, which appears to be smooth and smooth near the ground, as if it had been made by a skilled craftsman, but there are no other signs of carving on it.
It's just that there aren't any doorposts, pivots, keyholes, or doorknobs, but you're sure you've finally found the entrance this time.
Everyone banged on the mountain wall, pushed and pulled, tried to make it move, chanted fragments of the mantra to open the door, and nothing changed.
Even Zhu Linglu couldn't do anything about it, in Zhu Linglu's spiritual telekinesis induction, this mountain wall was filled with a strong earth energy, and the spiritual telekinesis couldn't be swept into it at all.
Just like the stone gate in the Outer Heaven Cave in the Zombie Dao Elder World before, Zhu Linglu's witch clan supernatural powers couldn't do anything about this secret door.
Sure enough, there is a powerful magic on it, so everything can only wait to find the keyhole and use the key to open the secret door.
In the end, everyone decided to move the camp that was originally in the valley below to this mountain col, and they were carefully looking for a way to open the secret door.
Due to the extremely steep terrain here, there is a cliff-like cliff on one side, and this road is on the ridge. They can't walk with any backpack at all.
So the dwarves worked together, and eventually ropes were used to pull the various supplies into the col.
As for the ponies, they will have to be stocked in the valley below.
The fattest dwarf, Bombo, remained in the valley below, he was too fat to come up before, and now he petitioned to stay and watch over the pony and the rest of the supplies.
Eventually, Thorin agreed to his request.
Then the dwarves and hobbits began to grope for the col carefully, and at first they found a trail leading to the higher mountains, but they did not dare to go any higher, and even if they did, it would be of little use.
In addition, the work of inspecting the stone wall to find the secret door of the secret passage seems to have made little progress.
The dwarves began to use the tools that Riverdale had brought with them. Impatiently, he banged on the smooth mountain wall, trying to open the secret door directly with violence.
This is what dwarves are best at.
However, all these movements were meaningless, either the grips of the hammer and the cone were broken, or the tips of the steel were twisted and deformed like lead.
It was clear that the dwarves' mining tools were not enough to deal with the magic that sealed the secret door, and they were also very worried about the echoes generated by the stone wall, and their violent actions would only destroy the secret passages inside.
Day by day. Eventually, the dwarves gave up all their movements.
Their morale had hit rock bottom, and there was nothing they could do about it.
As for Zhu Linglu and Bilbo just watching the dwarves' movements from the sidelines, Zhu Linglu of course knew that the keyhole could only be found on the day of Turin. Then use the key in Thorin's hand to open the secret door.
Everything that has been done before has been in vain.
But Zhu Linglu also knew that these dwarves were suspicious and dead-headed, and it was better to wait until the day of Turin Day than to talk to them. Naturally, the keyhole will appear.
Bilbo, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something, and Zhu Linglu felt that he was homesick, anyway, he understood the riddle left on the map before those dwarves.
The dwarves may have forgotten the moon inscription on the map at this moment. But this Bilbo has been studying maps a lot lately, and of course he remembers this.
So looking at the movements of the dwarves, Zhu Linglu and Bilbo just thought about their own thoughts.
At last the time had come when the day of Turin would appear, and the dwarves seemed to remember the secret words of the moon at this moment, "When the thrush beats, stand beside the gray rock, and the setting sun will shine on the keyhole by the afterglow of the Turin day." ”
"Tomorrow is the last week of autumn, maybe we can wait a little longer!"
In the last week of October, Thorin's face was a little gloomy, but he was still reluctant to give up, so he encouraged the other dwarves in the days of Turin that were approaching.
"Autumn is followed by winter."
"And then it's next year."
"Our beards are going to grow longer and longer, and before anything changes here, they'll probably all grow to the bottom of the mountain."
The dwarves also said with some emotion, they looked into the distance from the col, and if the day of Turin still did not turn around, perhaps they would have nothing to look forward to.
"Mr. Haven, is there anything you can do to help?"
There were more oriental wizards like Zhu Linglu in the adventure team this time, so the oldest dwarf, Balin, looked at Zhu Linglu and asked Zhu Linglu.
Thorin and the other dwarves also looked at Zhu Linglu, and even the hobbit Bilbo also looked at Zhu Linglu.
"I'm sorry, but if this is the secret door of the secret passage, I can only say sorry! I could feel the magic that hung over here, and even I couldn't do anything about it! ”
Of course, Zhu Linglu could only shake his head and say sorry, the dwarves were happy and depressed about this result.
Happily, their secret doors are so powerful that even wizards can't break them, and for the dwarves, they may be able to keep more of their secrets in front of wizards.
It's frustrating that now Zhu Linglu, a wizard, can't help them, after all, the most important thing is now.
And Zhu Linglu quickly spoke to the crowd again, "If the afterglow of the day in Turin can't find the keyhole of the secret passage for us, then I may be able to find a way to find a place without magic protection directly from the mountain range, and help you open a way to enter, but I can't guarantee that it won't alarm the evil dragon!" ”
Zhu Linglu felt that he needed to give these dwarves some encouragement, otherwise it was like the original movie plot, in the day of Turin, the dwarves waited for the sun to set, but they didn't find any hints, and finally they were disappointed and ready to leave the lonely mountain, and almost missed this opportunity.
The main thing is that they really have no hope...... (To be continued......)
