Chapter 119: Questioning
The location of the three of them is in a flat area at the end of the passage down the ancient tomb, and unlike the other ancient tombs, the end of the corridor of the ancient tomb here is a regular square.
The toad is lying in the middle of the square space, the toad is only three-legged, huge, with its head facing north, its left and right front paws facing east and west, and its hind feet and tail pointing to the stone base of the south wall.
The dome is a circular structure, with a protrusion in the center of the dome, which is a drop-shaped upside-down bead made of a metal material.
At the end of the bead is a very hidden silk thread, which is linked to a certain part of the toad's body.
This discovery made Wu Xingfeng's scalp tingle, and the hint of the goddess was likely to have found this transparent silk thread hidden in the void, which was the location of the mechanism, and the reason why the toad could not move its body.
After waiting for a long time to see Wu Xingfeng speak, Xuannu opened her mouth and said, "Sister's idea may come true?"
Wu Xingfeng shook his head, pointed to a bulge on the toad's back, and said, "Look carefully, there are silk threads on the toad's back that link the beads above the dome. ”
After being reminded by Wu Xingfeng, Xuannu really saw a transparent silk thread.
"It's cruel. Why does its owner treat it like this?" Xuannu pointed to the knot on the toad's back, and the three of them were all standing in the air at the moment, and they could see it very clearly.
Wu Xingfeng pointed to the ground, the second daughter understood, and after falling back, she stared left and right, looking for transparent silk threads that might be hidden.
Soon, the second daughter made a discovery.
The four walls of the east, west, north and south all have transparent silk threads, which are inverted shapes, with the knot on the back of the toad as the center point, linking the top corners of the four walls, because the silk threads are extremely thin, they are colorless and transparent.
"The owner of the tomb may have something very important stored in the underground palace of the tomb, I asked the toad if its owner was not in the underground palace, and it first nodded, then shook its head. ”
Wu Xingfeng said halfway, pointing to the dome above. "What remains here is probably one of the three souls and seven spirits of the tomb owner. ”
Wu Difeng said, and the goddess continued: "That's why it nodded first and then shook its head, what is stored inside is one of the seven spirits of the tomb owner, if this is the case, then what does this person want to do?"
This question cannot be answered, even if Wu Xingfeng is good at reasoning, he can't guess without reason when there is a lack of clues, reasoning needs clues, and reasoning without clues is nonsense and self-deception.
The three of them fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Yao Ji, tell me what you think!" Wu Xingfeng felt that the goddess had something to say.
It's not that the goddess doesn't want to say, as she thought just now, it is impossible to open the stone wall on the south side, this method must be very simple, as simple as one point, but without a hint, no one will think of that layer.
"We now have to figure out a couple of points, first, whether the toad can move, whether it is unwilling to move, or whether it is not able to move at all. Second, whether the role of the silk thread is related to the connection of the toad's consciousness, or whether it uses the toad's vitality to maintain the balance of the four walls. Thirdly, if these are all deceptive illusions created by the designer, does it mean that the door of the stone wall is opened only by gravity or aura? ”
The goddess finished speaking, Wu Xingfeng and the Xuannu frowned and looked at her, the goddess's analysis was thorough, there was no false exaggeration, and there was no whimsical magic.
"What Yao Ji said makes sense, can the toad move?" Wu Xingfeng circled around the toad again, and finally stopped at the tail end of the toad. The toad is also called the golden toad, and later generations compared it to an auspicious beast that attracts wealth and wealth. It has the characteristic that there is no portal for excretion of foreign matter. You see......"
The second girl stepped forward and stared at the toad's tail. "Xingfeng, this toad is not the same as the name you said in the afterlife, it has a pond mouth. The Xuannu was more spicy, pointing to the ground with marks under the toad's tail and said. "It's a. ”
There are indeed faintly visible yellow marks on the ground. After Wu Xingfeng observed, he said: "Even if there is a pond mouth, the excretion cycle must be very long, maybe not once in a few hundred years, otherwise it would have piled up into a mountain long ago." ”
The goddess nodded, agreeing with the two of them. From this, it can be inferred that the toad can move, but it is limited and cannot move on its own. ”
Wu Xingfeng listened to the goddess's analysis, and turned from the toad's tail to its head.
At this time, the toad had closed its eyes as if it was asleep.
"I ask you a few questions, and you answer them truthfully, or you will be sealed in the ground forever. Sooner or later, the beads in your mouth will lose their luster, and as soon as the luster is gone, you will starve to death. Wu Xingfeng coerced and seduced, and said to the toad with his eyes closed.
The toad, who was originally darkened and was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes and stared straight at him after listening to Wu Xingfeng's words.
Wu Xingfeng said: "After I ask the question, you just need to nod and shake your head. ”
The toad nodded in understanding.
"You can't move because of the silk threads that connect you?" Wu Xingfeng asked.
Toad nodded.
"If there is no silk thread, can you move?" Wu Xingfeng asked again.
The toad still nodded.
"Will cutting the silk thread touch the mechanism?" When this question was asked, Wu Xingfeng had been repeatedly scrutinized, and he was not sure that the toad's answer must be true.
Toad thought for a moment, but nodded.
"Xingfeng, will it be a fool, how can it nod. The Xuannu was a little anxious on the side.
Wu Xingfeng was speechless. "Why don't you ask?"
"I'll come, I'll come, you and Sister A. Xuannu stepped forward, she was already close to the toad, and at this time she was almost standing under the toad's nose.
After standing still, the Xuannu looked at the toad, and after a moment, she asked a question. "Whether your master is a man or a woman, if it is a woman, nod it, and if it is a man, shake its head. ”
The toad blinked, then nodded slightly.
"Is it a woman?"
The toad thought that the Xuannu hadn't seen clearly, and this time the nodding was relatively large.
"Then I will ask you again, are you male or female. If it's a male, nod, and a female, shake her head. "If the Xuannu doesn't give up, it won't see the toad shake its head.
Without thinking, the toad nodded at the Xuannu again.
Xuannu sighed. "It's better for you to ask, presumably this guy is a fool, he clearly has nothing exposed, and he says that he is a male. ”
Wu Xingfeng was speechless, women's thinking is too different from men's.
The goddess covered her mouth and sneered. "Xingfeng, you come and ask...... Sister, you're so naughty, it's not like you. ”
Wu Xingfeng didn't have the heart to deal with the second daughter, and continued to ask: "Open the stone foundation entrance on the wall behind you, how many people do you want? One person you nod, two people you shake your head, if it is three people, you nod first and then shake your head." ”
As Xuannu guessed, the toad still nodded.
Wu Xingfeng asked again. "Do you need to use your hands to open the entrance to the stone base, or do you need to use your feet? ”
This time the toad's answer was to shake his head.
The Xuannu who was watching from the sidelines was a little puzzled. "Isn't it stupid?"
Wu Xingfeng confirmed again. "Are you sure you open the entrance to the stone foundation with your feet, not with your hands? ”
Toad replied in the affirmative. It answered Wu Xingfeng's question with a nod, and at the same time removed the suspicion that Xuannu said that it was a fool.
The foot is used to open the entrance to the stone foundation, which means that the mechanism is on the ground. This is consistent with the previous speculation of the goddess, the principle of the mechanism is a gravity device.
The three of them gathered around the stone wall on the south side, pondering.
"Since the owner of the tomb is a woman, her weight should be similar to me and Ah Mei, and the bearing capacity will not exceed 1,000 catties. But the ground was flat and smooth, and no one had entered it since the burial chamber had been built. The last person to enter the chamber can only be the owner of the chamber, otherwise it cannot be kept secret. ”
The Xuannu leaned down to examine the ground carefully, and sensed the ground with her aura, but found nothing.
Wu Xingfeng said: "First of all, the influence of the silk thread on the opening of the entrance to the stone foundation is ruled out, the silk thread is connected to the node on the back of the toad, the purpose of which is to prevent someone from taking away the toad, and the toad will activate the mechanism as soon as it moves, if you are not mistaken, once the mechanism is activated, it will definitely cause devastating damage to the internal tomb." ”
The goddess nodded and continued to listen to Wu Xingfeng's analysis.
"So, I suspect that the owner of the tomb may not have died completely, she sealed herself underground, but for some reason, there was only one soul, let the toad guard it. Even if someone finds out, as long as the toad does not move, the door of the inner burial chamber cannot be opened, and besides, it will not work to open it by brute force, which the owner of the burial chamber must have considered. ”
"What happens if you open it with brute force?" the girl interjected.
"The jade is burning. Wu Xingfeng said.
"Thankfully, we found out, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. The goddess couldn't help but say worriedly: "If the brute force is opened, it is likely to raze the mountain castle to the ground." There must be a formation connected to the mechanism. ”
Wu Xingfeng frowned and said, "If the owner of the tomb is a dwarf, he is only half as tall as you, or even shorter. They also naturally lose weight. ”
"Xingfeng, do you mean ......" Xuannu said before the goddess spoke: "I see, what you mean is that in addition to the gravity device, there is also a device based on the principle of height, which can only be turned on when it reaches the same level." ”
"Ah Mei is right, just now I re-examined the internal space of the four walls and found that they all have their own attributes. I boldly guess that to open the entrance to the south stone base, not only must it be in line with weight and height, but also have the corresponding attributes of the five elements, otherwise it will never be possible to open it. "The goddess's thoughts are even denser than those of the goddess.
Wu Xingfeng looked at the goddess with admiration, this woman was too smart. Everything in the world seems to be complex and changeable, but in the final analysis, there is only the word yin and yang.
The yin is even the goddess, the woman is the ultimate of yin, and the woman in the extreme is the goddess.
There is only one goddess in this world, and this woman is Wu Xingfeng.
A short loss of consciousness is exchanged for all kinds of tenderness. "Xingfeng, you're in a daze again. ”
Wu Xingfeng had a turbulent heart, and secretly swore that no one would want to take the second daughter of Shenxuan away from him, even if it was at the cost of his own life.
Jiangshan and beauties, he wants them all.
Facing the south wall, the goddess squatted down, her breath was restrained, and her aura wrapped around her body, slowly adjusting.
A white light flashed on the south wall, and a hole opened suddenly.
