Chapter 205: Balance Scales
The light in the cave was dim, the flashlight was not on power, the light was very dim, and the shadows that illuminated it looked a little gloomy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Several people stared at the broken stones piled up in the corner of the stone cave, the more they looked at it, the more abrupt they felt, the pile of broken stones was black, like glued coal, without a little luster, and the black made people uncomfortable.
Yun Kang suddenly had a bad premonition, feeling a chill on his back, and a cold sweat was swishing. He comforted himself in his heart, what were he afraid of, it was just a pile of broken stones, just piled up in the corner.
But these gravels looked very weird, and Yun Kang stared at the gravel pile for a while, and before he knew it, even his neck stiffened.
After half an hour, Yunkang coughed twice, walked over, squatted on the edge of the gravel and looked at it, then picked up a piece of gravel, sniffed it carefully, and said: "These are sulfur stones, they have not been mined for a long time, and the smell is still very strong, not like the waste scraps left over from digging stone caves." ”
Shen Duo glanced at the man in Tsing Yi on the mural, and then turned his head to look at Yunkang, since the Witch Spirit King was here, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Thinking of this, he relaxed his brows slightly, walked over and picked up a piece of gravel, put it in his hand and said, "This stone is very ordinary, but it has a strong smell of sulfur, and there is nothing else special." ”
"Then let's tell me, the man in Tsing Yi on the mural is the Witch Spirit King, what is the purpose of him pointing at this pile of rubble with his weapon?" Yan Fucha couldn't help but ask. He was a little confused, looking horizontally and vertically, it was a pile of stones, and the Witch Spirit King pointed at the broken stones with the tip of his halberd, which was indeed a bit strange, what could the two have to do with each other?
Shen Duo glanced up at Yun Kang, pursed his lips and did not speak.
Since the man in Tsing Yi on the mural is the King of Witch Spirits, what is his intention in pointing at the stone with the tip of the halberd, I am afraid that only Yun Kang knows best.
Unfortunately, the Witch King has lost his memories and knows nothing about the contents of the mural, so there is a stalemate in front of them, and no one can solve the mystery of the mural.
Yun Kang saw Shen Duo's resentful expression, and couldn't help but feel a bit of anger in his heart, since this kid saw the mural, he kept looking at him with cold eyes, couldn't he restrain himself a little, lest others not know that he was the Witch Spirit King.
At this time, Yan Fucha's eyes rolled twice, looked at Shen Duo, and then at Yunkang, and asked, "Brother Shen Duo, brother-in-law, what do you two mean, are you secretly planning how to hide secrets?" It's not right to do this, you are deliberately hurting my young mind by hiding it and not telling me. When I get home, I'll complain to my dad and my sister about you. ”
Yun Kang coughed dryly, looked at Yan Fucha and Shen Duo with horizontal eyes, and said: "Don't look at me, I'm the same as you, it's the first time I've come in, who is painted on the mural, and what is the purpose, I can't guess." ”
As soon as his words fell, Xing Hao, who had been watching coldly, suddenly snorted coldly: "Yunkang, let's be honest, this is definitely not the first time you have come to this cave. You obviously know that the man in Tsing Yi on the mural is the Witch Spirit King, but you deliberately pretend not to know it, it's a bit fake. ”
was debunked by Xing Hao on the spot, Yun Kang couldn't help but be a little flustered, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
Xing Hao stretched his voice and said: "The task force has monitored the Wumen for many years, and I have long known the Wuling King, even I have seen the portrait of the Wuling King, this masked man in Tsing Yi is the Wuling King, yes, you can't not know." ”
Everyone present looked at Yunkang, Shen Duo and Yan Fucha had a close relationship with the Wumen, and Ge Fengdu was a member of the Task Force, and they all knew the existence of the Wuling King.
But Yan Fucha didn't know the relationship between Yun Kang and the Witch Spirit King, he saw Xing Hao's aggressive tone, and couldn't help but help Yun Kang, and said angrily: "Deputy Captain of the Punishment, whether my brother-in-law knows the Witch Spirit King or not, what does it have to do with you, your interference arc is a bit long, you should cut it." ”
Ge Fengdu was worried that the two sides would argue, so he quickly diverted the topic, he picked up a big stone, blew the floating ash on it, shook his head and said: "I think it may be a coincidence, the mural is old, the smell of this pile of crushed sulfur stone is very strong, and there is not much dust on it, it must have been left over in the past two years, and it does not match the age of the mural." ”
Before he finished speaking, Yan Fucha came to his senses, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Second brother, you mean that when the mural was painted, there were no broken stones in the corner of the wall, so the person in the painting was not referring to this pile of sulfur stones. ”
Without waiting for the others to speak, Yan Fucha clapped his hands and decided that his guess was correct, he grinned and said, "That meaning is too obvious, there must be something in this place in the corner, maybe some kind of treasure." Someone made a pile of broken stones and tried to cover up the treasure. Hehe, what are we waiting for, let's dig!"
Saying that, Yan Fucha "bah" twice, raised his hand and rolled up his sleeves, took the stone in Ge Fengdu's hand, threw it behind him, and then was about to remove a pile of crushed sulfur.
Hearing a "boom", the stone he threw out smashed on the mural, making a loud noise, and everyone trembled and felt the soles of their feet shake.
Yun Kang was suddenly startled, raised his hand to stop Yan Fucha, and said, "Don't move first, there is a situation." ”
Several people were all nervous, tensed their nerves, looked at each other, and no one dared to move.
Yun Kang's head was sweating, Yan Fucha just threw out a stone, and he actually made such a big movement, as if the entire stone cave was trembling, it was really surprising, and this situation was a bit weird.
Several people were half-bent over, staring at each other with big eyes, you look at me and I look at you, stiffening for half a minute.
After waiting for a while, it was still calm in the cave, and nothing strange happened.
Yun Kang exhaled a long breath, looked left and right, and said in a deep voice: "The person in the mural pointed to the corner of the wall with the tip of the halberd, which should have a special purpose, and maybe it is a warning." In case there is danger under the broken stones, the cave is so narrow, it is not easy to escape immediately, we had better be prepared. ”
Yan Fucha was startled by the sound just now, and when he heard Yunkang say that it might be dangerous, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, took a step back, and said, "Brother-in-law, you have an idea about this matter, and you can do what you say." ”
He is usually used to talking nonsense, but when he encounters major events, he still obeys Yunkang's orders, and he does not dare to act rashly when he is in danger.
Seeing that Yunkang was silent, Yan Fucha then smiled again: "You don't suffer a loss with your brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm the most obedient, you said that I won't go west." ”
Ever since he found a pile of broken sulfur stones in the corner of the wall, Yunkang had a feeling of unsteadyness, as if something mysterious and terrifying was hidden under the stone.
At this time, he was restless, and he was not in the mood to joke with Yan Fucha, frowning and saying: "We have to think in the long run, it is best to divide into two teams, some are in the vanguard, and some are in the reserve......
Before he finished speaking, he was robbed of the conversation by Yan Fucha, and agreed vigorously: "Yes, yes, what my brother-in-law said is right, let's go our separate ways, and retreat as soon as there is danger, so as not to destroy the whole army." ”
He raised his foot and kicked a small gravel away, and said, "We have a lot of strength, and I'm afraid that it will be a bird, so I don't believe that there are monsters under the stones, and they can eat people?"
The kicked crushed sulfur stone ejected and smashed against the stone wall, and "poof" became shattered.
"Look at the strength of my feet, I can kick a cow to death with one kick. Yan Fucha suddenly became happy and boasted to himself. He kicked out a few stones in a row, and he was addicted to kicking, when he heard Yun Kang shouting: "Fucha, stand still and don't move!"
His voice was quick and stern, Yan Fucha was startled, and hurriedly stood upright, not even daring to turn his neck, his eyes stared at Yun Kang, and asked puzzledly: "Brother-in-law, what's the matter, don't scare me......"
The whole audience stood still and didn't dare to move, Yun Kang frowned, listened for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Listen carefully, there seems to be a vibration under your feet." ”
Yun Kang is an immortal cultivator, and he has cultivated to the fourth level of qi refining, and he is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, and when Yan Fucha kicked the flying broken stones just now, he had already noticed that there was a tremor under his feet.
"I didn't hear the vibration, did you hear it?" Ge Fengdu listened for a while, then spoke first, and then turned his head to look at Yan Fucha and Shen Duo.
Yan Fucha's eyes rolled a few times, and his ears listened carefully, but he didn't find anything unusual. He barely squeezed out a smile and said to Yunkang: "Brother-in-law, I didn't hear any movement, are you too nervous?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Shen Duo and asked, "Brother Shen Duo, what about you, what did you hear?"
Shen Duo raised his hand and waved his hand, signaling Yan Fucha not to make a sound, he knew the ability of the Witch Spirit King, so he did not doubt what Yunkang said at all.
The Witch King said that there was a situation, then there must be a situation. Even if they can't hear or see anything, they must believe the Witch King, and what he says will not be wrong.
Shen Duo nodded at Yunkang, and immediately crawled to the ground, put his ears to the ground, and listened carefully to the sound.
Yun Kang slowly walked to the side of the gravel pile, raised his hand to pick up a fist-sized piece of gravel, and threw it towards the stone wall. Shen Duo prostrate on the ground, and suddenly heard a dull rumbling sound, like an earthquake, and the trembling shock wave spread outward from the center of the earth.
"There's movement, throw a few more stones. Shen Duo said in a deep voice. He noticed that there was a wave in the ground as he moved the broken stones, and then he quickly regained his calm.
Yun Kang took away several stones in a row, and the vibration sound in the ground became louder and louder, and finally everyone could feel the shaking waves under their feet.
"Removing rocks can cause earthquakes? Yan Fucha also found out about this situation and shouted in surprise.
Shen Duo got up from the ground, glanced at Yun Kang, and the two said in unison, "It's not an earthquake." ”
"What is it if it's not an earthquake?" Yan asked after him.
Yun Kang took another stone away and said, "This is a balance scale commonly used by the ancients, using weight to control sensitivity, and once the weight is out of balance, the mechanism will be activated. ”
Shen Duo nodded, and then continued with his words: "The person on the mural pointed to the corner of the wall with the tip of the halberd, there may be an important thing placed here. In order to prevent things from being taken away, a balance scale is installed. ”
Yan Fucha suddenly realized, narrowed his eyes and said: "Oh, no wonder there is a pile of broken stones, the things must have been taken away by someone, and replaced with stones of the same weight, in order to stabilize the balance scale and prevent the mechanism from being touched." Damn, who did it, it's too a chicken thief. ”
Yun Kang was silent for a moment and said, "The mechanism is connected all the way to the underground, and if we want to find a way, we must first open the mechanism." There is a high probability that there will be danger, so everyone should be careful. ”
They had just removed a few stones, and the weight of the scales had changed, causing the ground to shake, and if they moved all the broken stones, they didn't know what would happen.
The four of them all thought that they should be cautious, and they discussed it, and Yunkang was in charge of taking the lead, investigating the mechanism under the broken stone. Shen Duo protected Yan Fucha and Ge Fengdu, and the three of them retreated to the stone steps at the entrance of the cave, and if there was an accident, they could leave here as quickly as possible.
Yun Kang saw them retreat to the side of the stone steps, so he moved his steps and stood facing the pile of rubble, calming his breath and preparing to open the mechanism.
He secretly recited the Dao Recipe, and carried a ball of True Qi with both hands, intending to use the True Qi mass to blast the Broken Sulfur Stone apart, and the secret below was soon revealed.
At this time, I suddenly heard Yan Fucha say: "Brother-in-law, you have to be careful, the person surnamed Xing wants to attack you behind your back." ”
Yun Kang turned his head and saw Xing Hao and his team members standing not far behind him, both of them looked very sneaky, both raised their pistols and aimed at his back, with a nervous expression on their faces, looking very worried about the sudden danger.
"Yunkang, you must know the secret in this cave, don't you?" Xing Hao asked in a hoarse voice.
His eyes were staring at Yun Kang, and at this time, because of excessive nervousness, even his pupils were bloodshot. After a while, he continued: "I don't believe in any coincidence, you deliberately brought us to the cave, there must be an ulterior motive. ”
