Chapter 422: Tips
The only way is to find another way, but where to find it?
Tang Yi put his ears close to the ground, and vaguely felt the air vibrating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This kind of air vibration can only occur if there is enough space underneath it.
Flipping over the rain cloth spread on the ground, Tang Yi tapped on the ground one by one, and finally found a stone slab with an abnormal sound in the corner of the blockage. Picking it from the side seam, Tang Yi pulled it with his strength, and the slate loosened slightly, so he called Xiao Lang and Mo Rufeng, and the three of them worked together to finally lift the heavy slate.
Sure enough, there was a layer of sewers under the stone slabs, Mo Rufeng immediately went down to explore the way, and after making sure that it was okay, he and Xiao Lang and Tang Yi put down Zeng Yifan, who had not yet woken up.
Then the two carefully cleaned the traces near the slate, pulled the tarpaulin over the slate, and then jumped into the lower level, and together the three of them managed to return the slate to its original position.
Covered by the tarpaulin, nothing could be seen on the surface, and they crept along the abandoned sewers unconsciously.
Can't blame those tracking masters for being clumsy, because Xiao Jia just let them follow the trail down the sewer; He can't blame Xiao Jia for his miscommand, because he couldn't imagine that Zeng Yifan and they went underground.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame the strange structure of this sewer, how can a lower layer emerge?
They had also had this question Tang Yi Mo Rufeng, but when they walked out of a paragraph, the answer appeared.
The lower part of the sewer is actually not very long, and it didn't take long for the top to reveal the marks of a collapse. Crawling out of the collapse along the crumbling cement and bricks, they returned to the upper sewers.
Originally, this section of sewer was divided into two levels, the upper one was used for drainage and the lower one was used to buffer and divert. I don't know if it's to save money, be lazy or for some other reason, this place was not repaired during the renovation, but simply closed and abandoned.
But it's okay, if it weren't for that, they might still be struggling with the escape.
Due to the long period of abandonment, this section of the sewer is relatively drier and less slippery to walk on. Tang Yi was in charge of lighting, Mo Rufeng and Xiao Lang took turns carrying Zeng Yifan, and the speed of movement was not slow.
But this sewer seemed to be a little longer, and they walked for an hour and a half, and the passage ahead was still deep and dark.
"Which direction are we going?" Mo Rufeng couldn't help but ask, he said this to Xiao Lang, since Xiao Lang brought Zeng Yifan into the sewer, he should still have a good understanding of the situation in the sewer, and all this may be part of the master's plan.
But Xiao Lang's answer greatly surprised him: "It should be to the south, right?" ”
It should be, this is a vague word, and he still uses a question sentence, Mo Rufeng couldn't help but stop, staring at Xiao Lang with a puzzled face, what does that mean, you're not joking with me, right?
"Place Zeng Yifan in the designated place in the sewer, pick you up at the parking place, and work together to control the braking on him." Xiao Lang carried Zeng Yifan behind his back and continued, "That's all the Master's instructions for me, and the rest is that I will know when I meet you." ”
At this time, Tang Yi reached out and touched the stone wall of the sewer, and thought for a while, "Although it is a little far from the ground, I can be sure that it is now going west." ”
The passage at your foot tends to go lower and lower, and the fact that there is no river to the west of the city, and that the sewer used for drainage does not lead to the water source, which seems a bit unreasonable.
Mo Rufeng didn't pay attention to this, he thought of another thing - Cai asked him for tips.
"Before leaving, Master gave me a tip." Mo Rufeng took out the bag from his backpack, "I said that I can only open it after I meet you." ”
The bag is not large, and there are only three things inside: a delicate copper compass, an old chess piece, and a key with a number plate.
Three things that are completely unrelated, Mo Rufeng was stunned, what kind of dumb riddle is the master playing?
"You can't open it until you see us." Tang Yi looked at the three things and said, "In other words, Cai always wants us to guess these hints together." ”
The compass is a feng shui tool that can also be used to indicate directions, especially now in this sewer that leads in an unknown direction. But what are the hints for chess pieces and keys? Could there be a place at the end of this sewer where these two things could be used?
Xiao Lang used a flashlight to shine on the compass and calibrated the direction, judging from the display above, the direction in which the three of them traveled was indeed west, and it was due west.
Copper is a metal, it is gold, and it is the direction that indicates the direction, and the west is also gold, so it seems that Cai Wen means to let them go west.
So, Xiao Lang carried Zeng Yifan on his back, and the four of them continued to travel west along the sewer, Mo Rufeng kept holding the key and chess pieces, pondering as he walked.
Suddenly, Mo Rufeng's hand slipped, and the chess pieces fell to the ground, rolling forward with bones. Such an important thing can't be lost, Mo Rufeng leaned forward, chased a few steps, reached out on the ground and grabbed it, and accurately picked up the chess pieces.
It was also at this time that he and Tang Yi snorted in a low voice at the same time.
"The 'quantity' on this chess piece is so messy." Mo Rufeng looked at it again, this is an ordinary chess piece, and the wooden chess piece is engraved with a red "rook" character.
"Well, the 'quantity' on these three things is very messy, and it should be deliberately messed up by Cai Lao." Tang Yi thought thoughtfully, "Maybe I'm afraid that these things will fall into the hands of Ding Zhengtao and them." ”
Divination is also a way to find traces, which is a basic skill for people who can divination, but if you use these three things to divination, you can't know Cai Wen's whereabouts at all.
In other words, the hint that Cai Wen left them was derived from the meaning of the object itself.
"Red rook ......" Xiao Lang muttered, "Red is separation, fire, chess pieces are wood, and fire is in wood." ”
From the color and material to analyze, with the meaning of the five elements, this is a logical approach, Mo Rufeng looked at the chess pieces again, the rook ...... The red car .......
"I understand, red is fire, and red cars are trains!" Mo Rufeng's eyes lit up, "Master is asking us to go to the train station." ”
……
There are train stations in the south, west, and north of the city, and now they are going due west, which means that they should go to the west train station.
As for the key, it is an ordinary double-toothed key, which looks a bit like the kind commonly used on office furniture, but the size is slightly larger, and the number plate on it is clearly engraved with "fifty-five".
This number has many meanings, five also represents Xun, and the key is metal......
"It's the storage box key." Zeng Yifan, who was lying on Xiao Lang's back, suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice seemed to be as if he hadn't woken up.
