Chapter 67: The Teacher Contest (Part II)
Wei Ziyi shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Descending the steps, we arrived at the edge of the pond in a short time. Li Jiuling and He Qiankun were already waiting by the bamboo raft.
"Today's competition is behind this waterfall," Li Jiuling said as he waited for the two of them to come to him, pointing to the waterfall.
"Is there a cave behind the waterfall?" Wei Ziyiqi said: "I have lived in the valley for three years, and I don't know anything about it. ”
He Qiankun glared: "You run out of the valley all day long, how can you know?" ”
Wei Ziyi was a little weak and stopped answering.
Li Jiuling replied: "This place was built by the two apprentices of the ancestor master, one is afraid that one day if a foreign enemy enters the valley, there will be a hiding place. The second is to test the disciples. ”
Several people boarded the bamboo raft and paddled to the place where the water next to the waterfall was smaller, Li Jiuling pressed a bulge on the mountain wall, and a hole that only allowed one person to enter appeared after the waterfall.
The four of them entered the cave in turn, and there were two passages in front of them, one left and one right.
"These two passages are arc-shaped, the same distance to the left and right, the same mechanism, and finally lead to a secret room. There is a wooden box in the middle of the secret room, and you can choose one side to enter it, and whoever arrives first will win the game if you take the wooden box. After Li Jiuling finished saying the rules, Zhan Ying and Wei Ziyi bowed to their master respectively, and then walked to the passage close to him.
There is no lighting in the passage, and the more you walk, the darker it gets, and the surrounding area is silent, because it is in the belly of the mountain, the air is very humid, and from time to time there is the sound of water dripping on the ground, in such a dark and silent environment, it sounds a little strange.
Since living in the valley, because he often reads books in the Tibetan Pavilion at night, Zhan Ying has the habit of carrying a fire fold with him, and he can light the lamp at any time. She pulled out a fire fold and took a closer look at her surroundings. Lighting must have been thought of at the beginning of the design, and she needed light to move on.
Sure enough, there was an oil lamp fixed above the left side of the passage, and she tiptoed to light it until she saw a stone wall in front of her, blocking the way forward.
Zhan Ying stepped forward to observe the wall carefully, and he didn't know how thick it was. Zhan Ying laughed when he saw it, this first level is too simple, this kind of broken dragon stone seems to be bulky, but it is actually the easiest to open.
She returned to the oil lamp, took it down, and twisted the stone pillar holding the lamp to the side, and the stone door slowly rose with a rumbling sound.
Another passage appeared in front of him, and as soon as Zhan Ying took a step, countless arrows shot out from both sides of the passage in front of him, shooting at the opposite passage wall, making a dense tinkling sound.
Zhan Ying hurriedly took a step back, and the sound of archery stopped immediately. According to the sound of those shots on the wall, the arrows shot are very dense, and if you try to break through, you will be beaten into a sieve.
She thought for a moment, found a stone from the side, and placed it where she had just stood on it. Sure enough, the arrows on the wall rained down again. It seems that this trap is triggered by gravity, and the trap is underfoot.
Zhan Ying looked around, and there was actually a set of hammers, shovels, wedges, scissors, and saws by the stone gate just now. As long as you think about it a little, you will know that after all, Tanaka is testing the principle of the mechanism, not how to pass the test. These tools are designed for them to quickly find the location of the mechanism and disarm it in principle.
She chose a shovel, had already drawn a diagram of the structure of the mechanism in her mind, closed her eyes, and carefully dug up the ground in front of her until she found the mechanism, and then she used hammers, wedges and other tools to destroy the part of the mechanism used to balance and sense gravity.
After doing this quickly, before she left, she threw a stone at random in front of her, and sure enough, the arrow did not trigger again.
She didn't stay long, and quickly passed through the passage ahead of her, making her way to the next level.
These institutions were undoubtedly very threatening to people outside the valley, but they were found in the collection of books and drawings in the valley. Zhan Ying successfully passed the puzzle lock, the dragon and tiger phantom array, and the gossip map, and reached the door of the secret room.
The door of the secret room is a door made of pure copper, and there is a pair of exquisitely made divine beasts on the door - pepper map, because they do not like others to enter their lair, so they use this divine beast carved in the door shop or door panel. The pepper is like a snail mussel, and when it encounters the invasion of foreign objects, it always closes the shell mouth. People use it on doors to take the meaning that it can be closed for safety.
However, the pepper pictures on this door are not holding the door knocker, but bite each other, so that the bronze door is closed, and it does not move when pushed, and the lock of this pepper picture must be opened to enter.
This lock has not been seen in the books I have read before. I don't know what's going on on my brother's side, has he already entered from the other side? As soon as her thoughts drifted away, she quickly pulled her thoughts back and carefully examined the lock.
On the other side, Wei Ziyi had already unlocked all the mechanisms, including this Jiaotu lock. He secretly pushed open the door and looked at it, the box in the room was still there, the copper door on the opposite side was closed, and the sound of Zhan Ying fiddling with the Jiaotu lock was faintly audible.
Wei Ziyi closed his bronze door tighter again, leaning against the door and thinking, how long will it take for my junior sister to open the lock, and I am still waiting for her.
It turned out that Wei Ziyi already had his own plans in his heart. He couldn't let Zhan Ying win him, otherwise he would have to listen to her for the past three years. But he didn't want Zhan Ying to follow her in the next three years, because he heard that day that she had married the only grandson of Dingguo Gong. That's right, he is the son of the Dingguo Mansion, the demon king of the mixed world in Zhan Ying's mouth, Han, Zhao, and Lin!
He had just finished hearing it that day and ran away, still in shock when he returned home.
This is too coincidental!
For the first year he ran away from home, he spent most of his first year avoiding the people sent by his family to look for him, and once he was caught and wanted to take him back to the capital, saying that his family had made him a wife. He tried hard to escape again, met He Qiankun, and after hiding in the Valley of Thousand Machines, he was never caught by the people sent by his family.
But now he knows that his junior sister is the object of marriage, which makes him frightened, and he originally planned to take her for three years after winning his junior sister, but now it seems that he should stay away, he doesn't want to get into trouble.
Wei Ziyi calculated in his heart that if the game of the trick was drawn, he would be sure to win in Qimen Dunjia. In this way, one win and one draw in three games will be counted as a draw. There has never been one in the history of the Thousand Machines Valley, so maybe you can discuss it with the master, and you will have your own experience in the next three years.
While he was thinking about it, Zhan Ying had already unlocked the lock of Jiaotu, and when he heard the sound of Zhan Ying pushing the door, he hurriedly pushed open the bronze door, making a surprised appearance - "Senior sister, don't you want us to enter the secret room at the same time, this wooden box-?"
Zhan Ying didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, so she said, "Let's take it by one of us, let's go out and find the master to cut it." ”
So Wei Ziyi hugged the wooden box and went out with Zhan Ying to the side where he came in.
Zhan Ying looked at the mechanism that Wei Ziyi had solved on the way, obviously more clever than her solution, obviously with ease, and the time was extremely short, it should have been faster than her, right? She looked at Wei Ziyi suspiciously.
