ambush
Zhang Qiling frowned and said nothing, looking at the ground in front of him, the ground was gray stone, and it looked no different from other places.
He Peng asked, "Is there a problem?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head, and Wang Xinyi said: "Except for less ash, there is no difference." ”
At this time, the light at the end of the corridor flashed, and a black figure hid behind the light.
"Don't let him run!" Wang Xinyi shouted and rushed over, He Peng hurriedly pulled her, but she ran too suddenly, and He Peng followed two steps before pulling her.
"Don't chase, be careful. He Peng said.
Wang Xinyi said eagerly: "Catch him quickly, he must be the murderer of my father!"
"There are so many organs here that you can't run around, have you forgotten what you saw just now? Do you want to be like them?" He Peng reprimanded sternly.
"Isn't it okay, let's not waste time here, hurry up and chase it, I think that person is very similar to Xu Dabiao you said. "I want to run again.
"Don't move!" Zhang Qiling shouted, "The sound of the ground under your feet is wrong!"
As he spoke, Zhang Qiling stomped on the ground and made a snapping sound.
He Peng also felt it, the sound of stepping on the ground when he ran over just now was a little empty, and it was obviously empty under the ground.
He Peng immediately thought of a complex trap.
"Serial flipper!"
"What kind of chain flipper?" Wang Xinyi asked puzzled before she noticed anything abnormal.
He Peng said: "It's a kind of flip trap that will automatically restore its original state, we have stepped on it, follow me and slowly retreat." ”
Wang Xinyi followed He Peng and slowly fell back to the original place.
He Peng explained to several people: " The reason why we are on it and not falling is because it is a more deceptive trap, the front of the ground is composed of three layers of stone slabs, and the nearby stone slabs are supported by stone pillars protruding from both sides, so this stone slab will not fall, but the middle stone slab will immediately flip as soon as it goes up, because it only has one stone pillar dragging it, and it will tilt when it is affected by gravity, and the person above will slide into the trap below, and after the weight disappears, several stone slabs will return to their original state under their own gravity and the weight hanging under the stone slabs.
In other words, this is a trap that can be self-healing. ”
"Oh my God, don't you want to be so poisonous!" Wang Xinyi was scared into a cold sweat, according to He Peng's statement, just now as long as the two of them took another step or two, the two of them might have fallen, thinking of the tragic appearance of the person who died in the pit before, Wang Xinyi couldn't help but have cold sweat in her palms, He Peng undoubtedly risked his life to save her life!
Lao Liao said at this time: "This is troublesome, we don't know how long this pit is, there is no way to determine the location of the movable stone slab, and the method of dragging the pit with a rope just now does not work here." ”
Zhang Qiling regained his wooden appearance, and he asked He Peng: "Do you have a way to crack it?"
He Peng said: "There is one of these methods, and it was invented by tomb robbers. ”
Wang Xinyi said happily: "Say it quickly, it doesn't matter who invented it." ”
"In the past, there were clever tomb robbers who encountered this kind of trap and would destroy all the layers of slabs on the surface, remove them, and then go down to the bottom through the escalator, and then walk from the bottom of the pit to the opposite side and climb up the escalator. He Peng said: "But the problem we are facing now is more complicated, the general chain flap is made of wood, but the one in front of us is made of stone slabs, and it is almost impossible for us to break the stone slabs!"
Old Liao Qi said: "Then how did the gang pass just now?"
He Peng shook his head.
Zhang Qiling said: "They should have let people act as substitutes for the dead ghosts, found the location of the movable flap, and then passed with the help of ropes." ”
"Replace the dead ghost, then we can't get over!" Wang Xinyi said angrily: "Hu Jingtang won't let the old lady meet you in the future!"
Zhang Qiling said: "I have a way! I'll be a substitute for the dead ghost!" After speaking, he strode forward, walked to the position where He Peng and Wang Xinyi ran before, and suddenly stabbed the big sword in his hand into the stone wall, and the seemingly bladeless heavy sword easily pierced into the stone wall.
He tied one end of the cloth belt to the hilt of the sword, and walked straight forward with one end in his hand, only one step The ground suddenly tilted and sank, a stone slab about three meters long was like a seesaw, Zhang Qiling immediately slid down and half of his body fell below the ground, he pulled the cloth belt in his hand, and dragged himself back to its original place, but the original stone slab that had no problem was affected by the movable stone slab and suddenly tilted, and he had to borrow his strength to jump and stand on the hilt of the sword.
I saw that the three stone slabs within a range of seven or eight meters in front of me kept shaking up and down, and it took a while to calm down.
He Peng and the others were shocked to see it, but the person concerned, Zhang Qiling, was unaware of the danger, his feet on the hilt of the sword and his body leaned out, as if he was checking the situation in the pit when the stone slab was turned up, but what could he see when it was dark underground?
Found the location of the movable slate, it was relatively simple to pass, and after Lao Liao ran out, he jumped over the three-meter-long movable slate and landed firmly on the opposite side. Only Wang Xinyi was pulled through with the help of a cloth belt.
When he arrived on the other side, He Peng asked Zhang Qiling: "Did you see anything in the pit just now?"
"Of the seven dead, two died. ”
"Impossible!" Wang Xinyi covered her mouth and said, "How can there be so many dead people, and there is no light underneath, how can you see it." ”
Zhang Qiling said as he walked: "Believe it or not, there are many people who have been thinking about this place for hundreds of years, but there are not many who can be found, and I am very surprised that there are only seven of them." ”
Wang Xinyi was speechless for a moment.
He Peng asked, "Since this tomb has been stolen many times, why hasn't anyone taken the things in the front ear chamber?" ”
"Because those people are not here for money, and neither are the pirates today, and money is easy for them, and they don't have to take such a big risk to get the money of the dead. ”
As they spoke, they walked to the stone chamber where the man had disappeared, this one was much larger, with a round pool in the middle, and the bottom of the pool was dry and waterless.
Lao Liao asked, "How can there be a pool here?"
Zhang Qiling said while looking at the paintings on the wall: "There is a water hole at the bottom of the pond that connects to the bottom of the water layer, and when the water enters the tomb, it will flow away through the water hole, and the pool is a drainage channel to prevent flooding." ”
He Peng and Wang Xinyi's eyes were attracted by the mural on the wall, the mural of the pirate king landed with some pirates, some stayed, and some continued to sail away. In the second, the pirates set up a village in the back of the coastal mountains and lived the life of male farmers and female weavers. In the third picture, the Pirate King is surrounded by two women and a group of children, all of whom are different in height, short, fat and thin, and one of them is more exaggerated, holding a boulder larger than himself in one hand!
"Nameless fishing village!" He Peng exclaimed, "How is it possible! Why is it so similar!"
Zhang Qiling glanced at He Peng in surprise, "Have you been there?"
"Where?"
"Have you ever been to a nameless fishing village?"
"Yes, you also know that village? The terrain in the picture is very similar to there, the ancestors of the nameless fishing village must not be pirates!"
Zhang Qiling turned his head and said lightly: "That's it, if it's not like that, how can that village be so special!"
Wang Xinyi muttered, "Nameless fishing village...... Pirate...... Tomb of the Pirate King?"
"Let's go, if they don't go, they'll really run. Zhang Qiling walked towards the next stone chamber.
This was a larger stone chamber, and when they entered, they were shocked by the sight in front of them, there were blood stains everywhere, six or seven people were crushed under the boulder, and two of them were still struggling in pain.
This stone chamber is very large and very high, and there are many huge stones hanging from the iron lock at the top, and I don't know how many huge stones are stacked on top of each other. In the middle of the stone chamber are two white sarcophagi, the sarcophagus has been pried open, a dry skeleton has been dragged out halfway, and his head has a crown, which is no different from the crown of the pirate king in the mural!
"He's the Pirate King?" said Liao in surprise, "Who is it?" He suddenly turned around and struck an elbow. was blocked by the same elbow.
"Don't move, if you move again, I'll shoot!" a familiar voice.
He Peng and Wang Xinyi turned around and saw Hu Jingtang holding a silver gun on Lao Liao's forehead. There were two other people beside him, one was a bald head with a huge scar on his face, tall and dark-skinned, and at first glance it was the color of the sun that was always exposed to the sun. He held two robbers in his hands, aiming at Zhang Qiling and He Peng. The last person was Xu Dabiao, half of his body hidden in the darkness, holding a sharp knife in his hand.
"He Peng, we met again so soon, hehe, I'm very happy, I'm so happy to know that you guys are here, haha!" Hu Jingtang said with a smile.
"I'm also happy to see that you're not dead, and I'll hand you over to the police and put you on trial. He Peng gritted his teeth and sneered: "And Xu Dabiao, you are all murderers of Old Man Wang, I will not let you go."
"What if you don't let it go? In the end, you will still die, and I will take the beautiful Miss Xinyi to the sea to be my captain's wife. ”
"Damn, don't be long-winded, you little white face, hurry up and let them bring the crown. "The big bald head is getting impatient.
"Scar, can you be patient, as a veteran pirate, you must know how to enjoy victory slowly, and don't let the descendants of the Pirate King laugh at us. Hu Jingtang threw a flattering look at Wang Xinyi in a demonic manner, and her tone and demeanor were extremely feminine, which was not at all like the gentlemanly appearance she had shown before.
The big bald head shivered in disgust and scolded: "What do you want a woman to do with your rotten ass." ”
"Woman? Who said I thought she was a woman? I want her blood! The blood of the Pirate King, for which I don't mind sacrificing myself and having a child with her, roar, you idiot certainly won't understand what it means for the Pirate King's bloodline to return to the pirate ranks!"
"Okay, put away your ambitions, you haven't got anything yet!" Xu Dabiao said unhurriedly in the shadows.
Hu Jingtang immediately reined in and pointed a gun at Lao Liao: "You, big man, go over and take that crown." ”
He Peng hurriedly said: "Don't go, Lao Liao, this is the Falling Stone Formation, and the boulder above your head will fall!"
