Chapter Twenty-Six: The Stone Gate
Ye Qiu fixed the rope and followed the wall of the well, imitating the appearance of Chen Fei when he went down, and slowly slid towards the bottom of the well.
At first, I didn't have a bottom in my heart, but it also fell very smoothly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's not that difficult," Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little proud.
As the old saying goes, happiness begets sorrow. This is true.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to reach the bottom of the well, the rope suddenly broke!
Ye Qiu fell to the ground at the bottom of the well.
"Oops..... Oops...... My ass, my waist!" Ye Qiu lay on the ground in pain.
"Hey, you stupid, just complimented you twice, and you won't be able to touch Nantianmen. Chen Fei said with a smile, and hurriedly went to help Ye Qiu on the ground.
Picked up Ye Qiu and checked it, it was nothing serious, but his butt hurt from falling.
Ye Qiu was fine, but the rope was broken, and this was the only tool they had to climb up.
Chen Fei looked at the break point of the rope, which was about two meters away from the bottom of the well.
It's okay, but I have to grieve Ye Qiu.
So Ye Qiu squatted on the ground, and Chen Fei stepped on his shoulder.
Ye Qiu used all his strength to stand up, and his tired legs trembled.
Chen Fei stood on his shoulder, and the two of them were like playing acrobatics.
Chen Fei finally connected the rope and jumped off Ye Qiu's shoulder.
Ye Qiu immediately sat down on the spot, he was really tired, this hateful Chen Fei, why was it so heavy.
But as soon as he sat down, the butt he had just fallen hurt again.
He wasn't sitting, he wasn't standing, he wanted to cry without tears.
But when he saw the small hole in the wall of the well, the man immediately recovered.
Chen Fei used the crowbar that Ye Qiu brought down to pry the stones around the small hole one by one.
After a while, a circular hole with a diameter of about one meter was displayed in front of the two of them!
The two of them were overjoyed, but a little depressed.
Are they afraid that there is still nothing in this hole.
Chen Fei used a flashlight to shine into the cave, and the inside of the cave, like the entrance of the cave, was also round.
And it was also made of stone, almost exactly like the well where they are now.
It's just that one is vertical and the other is horizontal.
That is, one is a shaft and the other is a horizontal shaft!
This shaft, which is common in rural areas, is either impounded or has dried up.
There is always a use for it, too.
But what is the purpose of this crosswell? The two had never seen it, or even heard of it.
But one thing is certain, since someone has gone to such great lengths to build this horizontal well, it is natural that he has his intentions.
The shaft is used to store water, and the purpose of the horizontal shaft is a bit strange.
Since its purpose is very strange, it seems to indicate that there may be something surprising in it.
Thinking of this, the two of them bent down and went into the crosswell.
The crosswell was always only about one meter high, so the two of them had to crawl forward on their knees.
It's like an old dog getting into the sewers.
Ye Qiu followed behind Chen Fei and crawled forward hard, probably climbing more than thirty meters.
Suddenly, Chen Fei in front stopped moving forward, and Ye Qiu didn't have time to stop, so he hit Chen Fei's ass headfirst and chased his tail.
Ye Qiu was a little puzzled, why did he stop.
"Alas, why don't you leave?" Ye Qiu asked as he prayed that Chen Fei would never fart.
"I can't walk, there's no way...... Chen Fei replied.
Although Chen Fei didn't fart, the sentence "no way" sounded like a fart to Ye Qiu at this time.
"What, there's no way?!" Ye Qiu said as he stretched his neck and looked forward from Chen Fei's side.
Sure enough, in front of Chen Fei, there were two relatively flat bluestone slabs blocking the way.
These two bluestone slabs, like two stone doors, were coldly erected in front of Chen Fei.
Chen Fei pushed the bluestone slab, which was very strong and did not waver at all.
He knocked on the crowbar in his hand again, and the bluestone slab actually made an echo,
It was clear that there was still room behind the bluestone slabs.
These two stone slabs should be the two gates of the back space!
However, these two stone slabs are quite sturdy, how can they be opened?
Chen Fei carefully observed the two stone doors, as if he could see something interesting.
There was a gap between the two stone doors, and Chen Fei pointed a flashlight at the gap and shone it inside.
I couldn't see anything, because the gap was not big, and the flashlight couldn't get in.
Although the gap is not large, it is enough to stick a crowbar in.
So, Chen Fei stretched the crowbar into it from the bottom of the gap in the middle of the stone door.
Ye Qiu thought that Chen Fei was going to use a crowbar to pry the stone door open.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fei did not have the slightest intention of exerting force.
I saw him slowly lift the crowbar up along the gap,
It feels like going to the mall to swipe a credit card, except that the credit card is swiped horizontally, and his crowbar is swiped vertically.
When the crowbar brushed to half the height of the gap, it was suddenly blocked by something behind the stone door.
You can't swipe up anymore.
Chen Fei probed for a moment and said, "This is the place." ā
Ye Qiu was quite puzzled: "What's this place, what's the point?" Also, if you don't pry the door hard, what kind of crowbar are you brushing there?"
Chen Fei smiled and said, "You are stupid and you are still quibbling, such a thick stone door, you can't pry it open with this crowbar alone."
I have carefully observed that the two stone doors have been sealed in a very clever way. ā
When Ye Qiu heard this, he was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of clever method, tell me quickly." ā
Chen Fei glanced back at Ye Qiu and said, "The latches of these two stone doors are inside, but the people plugged in the latches from the outside. ā
Ye Qiu didn't do anything when he heard it: he hurriedly said: "You are, how can a person stand outside the door and plug in the latch inside the door?"
Chen Fei saw that Ye Qiu's face was full of doubts, so he explained to him the ingenuity of this.
It turns out that this is an ancient technique, and many tombs and treasure chambers use this technique to seal doors.
First of all, two card slots are installed on the walls on both sides of the stone door to fix the latch.
Temporarily fasten the latch horizontally to a long-handled iron hook and place the long-handled iron hook in the middle of the two doors.
After closing the stone door, the long-handled iron hook is located in the gap between the two stone doors.
Then, slowly lift the hook up to the height of the card slot.
Then he tentatively pulled the iron hook outward, so that the latch on the iron hook landed right in the card slots on the walls on both sides of the stone door.
Finally, the hook is removed and withdrawn. This allows the latch to secure the inside door from the outside.
This latching technique can effectively prevent people from entering the secret room, because ordinary people cannot find a way to open the stone door.
Chen Fei didn't know where he learned this technique, and he happened to use it today.
This is really a lot of art but not pressing, these days, what I play is a comprehensive strength!
Chen Fei tried the pry bar twice, and felt that there was a door, so he pushed the crowbar upward.
Sure enough, with a "clang", the latch inside was picked down and fell to the ground.
Chen Fei was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped back, pushing the stone gate backwards with all his might.
With Chen Fei's hard push, the stone door was opened!
