Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 245 Strange Mechanism
Although the stone slab is very large, it is still dwarfed by the boulder weighing more than 2,000 catties at the entrance of Wang Jiutang's tomb.
In addition, the Poplar Iron Ox could lift the stone slab from any direction at will, so it didn't take much effort for the two of them to lift the stone slab aside, revealing a black hole below.
The entrance to the cave was naturally covered with floating soil, and the stone slab was actually pressed on top of the floating soil, and between the floating soil was the black and shady hole dug by the scavengers.
The bottom of the tomb was already dark and dark, so everyone found the miner's hat and put it on their heads, regardless of whether it was late at night.
The Lord of the Red Gate discussed with Poplar Qu to the east, and decided to leave a few people to protect the entrance of the tomb.
Bai Yang thought that there were more people, and it was not safe outside the tomb, so he could only go and discuss with Tie Niu, and wanted him and Hongxing to accompany Chu Mingyu and Jack to stay above.
Tie Niu was a little unhappy, and said: "Our brothers have the most tacit understanding together, once they are separated, it will not be easy to do anything!"
Bai Yang nodded sympathetically and said, "I also know this! But you have to understand that there is not only a terrible thing on this big tomb that is likely to burn people to ashes, but also that stone slab is not known who moved it, and if we don't leave a super strong person on it, how can we go down to the tomb with confidence?"
When Tie Niu heard him say this, he could only scratch his scalp and stop talking.
Chu Mingyu couldn't help but shrink his neck and said, "You said that there is that terrible thing on the tomb that will burn people to ashes, then you still leave us on it, in case that thing appears again, what can we do?"
Bai Yang had already thought back and forth many times, and when he heard Chu Mingyu ask, Bai Yang immediately replied: "At least I think that those terrible things must have come out of the tomb, so the inside of the tomb will be even more dangerous! And according to me, that thing ......."
Poplar said this, looked at the others, lowered his voice more and more, and continued: "That thing is probably a crow-like bird that glows blue as Lingling said, so ...... Aren't Jack and Lao Hei's marksmanship very good? No matter how big the apricot throws his knife, he also misses every shot! If you see that kind of bird, don't feel strange, let alone look closer, but if it's far away, you should shoot at it, and in short, don't let this kind of bird fly to you!"
When Chu Mingyu heard him say this, he felt more and more uneasy.
However, she looked at Tie Niu and Hongxing, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since Tie Niu and Hongxing don't go down, then I will stay on top!"
Bai Yang nodded, but he was not worried about Tie Niu, but he still told him a few more words: "After seeing that kind of bird, as long as it does not attack you, you should not take the initiative to attack, and the most important thing is that you must not let it get close to you!
"Alright, without you, I would have listened to him in everything!" said Iron Bull.
Bai Yang's heart was still unsure, but at this time there was no more to explain, so he could only go and talk to the Red Gate Master, and finally determined that the woman in black, Qu Xiangdong's two companions, plus Tie Niu and others, a total of seven people stayed on the side.
The remaining Bai Yang, Ding Lingling, and Chen Xiaopang, as well as Qu Xiangdong and his other two companions, plus the Red Gate Lord, a total of seven people went to the tomb.
The Red Gate was still the leader, followed by the poplars, and seven people went down to the tomb in turn.
Since it is the emperor's tomb, there are many natural organs inside.
However, the first few mechanisms have been cracked by the gleaning door, and the group walked smoothly to a gate hole about two meters wide, and the red door master suddenly told everyone to stop, and said: "There was originally a very thick stone gate here, I found the mechanism valve and opened the stone door, I don't want the stone gate inside, but there is another mechanism!"
As she spoke, Bai Yang and the others glanced left and right, and found that there were two thin gaps in the door frame made of large stone bars on the right, and there should be a thick stone door, which was retracted into the door frame.
Several of them all cast their heads into the doorway, only to see a boxy burial chamber inside
The area of the burial chamber is about thirty or forty square meters, and the walls are made of simple and plain blue bricks, without any decoration and no objects.
"The four elders of my sect plus two young disciples are trapped under the floor of this tomb!" said the Red Door Master.
Everyone else was startled and couldn't help but shrink their feet.
The Lord of the Red Gate stepped inside, took two steps forward, turned around and said, "It's no problem for one or two people to walk in, but when all of us walked in, the entire floor suddenly flipped over, sliding down all the elders and disciples in my sect! I was close to the door, and I jumped up when the floor suddenly flipped over, and I barely escaped, but the rest of the people in my door were all covered under the floor!"
The Red Gate Lord's light body kung fu Bai Yang has long been taught, imagining the thrilling situation at that time, I am afraid that only the Red Door Lord's ability can escape in the moment the floor flips.
Therefore, several people even withdrew half a foot to the outside of the door frame, and no one dared to step inside.
Ding Lingling thought for a moment and said, "Since one or two people won't make the floor flip, why don't we disperse through this tomb and continue to walk forward first, maybe we can find the exit from inside and rescue a few elders!"
"No!" the Red Gate Lord shook his head with a wry smile, "I had already thought of this at the time, so I walked forward alone, only to find that it was a dead end inside. So I guess the passage to the core burial chamber is likely to be below this floor. ”
A few people didn't expect it to be like this, I can't help but look at me, I look at you.
Qu Xiangdong opened his mouth and asked, "If the passage to the core tomb is just below the floor, those elders should be fine, right?" Is the Red Gate Lord sure that the elders are still alive?"
"Of course I'm sure!" I slammed the floor with my knife, and the elders knocked on the floor below!" replied the Red Door Master.
"Then let's knock on the floor again!"
Chen Xiaopang interjected, and used his fine steel shovel to knock out a "bang" sound on the floor.
He waited for a while, but there was no response from beneath the floor.
"I went out to ask for help, I wasted more than a day and a night, the elders could not still be under the floor, I guess they have continued to walk inside! But they have not come out yet, it can be seen that there is no other passage in the tomb, if you want to save them, you can only turn over this floor!" said the Red Gate Master.
"Has the Red Gate Master ever looked for the mechanism that controls this floor?" asked Qu Xiangdong.
"Of course I did, but I couldn't find it, it seems...... It can only be as if a few people all stood up and let the floor fall off automatically!" replied the Red Door Lord with a wry smile.
"But if we really let the floor fall automatically, then we won't be able to get out, won't we be able to save people and trap us here?" Qu Xiangdong said.
"Yes, that's why I have no choice but to go to you for help!" replied the Red Door Master.
Bai Yang and Ding Lingling glanced at each other, and both of them secretly recalled the book "Secret Techniques of Organs" left by Ouyang Qi in their hearts.
In fact, after Ding Lingling returned from the Black Desert, Bai Yang showed the manuscript book to her.
Ding Lingling was originally more proficient in the art of organs than Poplar, coupled with her dexterity and good memory, although the time is short, her understanding of the "Secret Art of Organs" is already above Poplar.
So Ding Lingling said: "I have read Mr. Ouyang's book "The Secret Art of Organs", according to Mr. Ouyang's understanding of organs, all organs must be able to control independently, otherwise this mechanism would not be able to be set up stably at the beginning, so ...... Why don't we look carefully and see if we can find the control valve!"
"I understand this too!" the Red Door Lord nodded, but couldn't help but smile bitterly again, "It's just ...... With my ability, I really can't find the control valve of this mechanism, so I can only ask you to show your skills!"
"With the ability of the Red Door Master, I can't find the control valve, we people ...... At least I don't have to be ugly with Qu Xiangdong!" Qu Xiangdong shook his head with a wry smile, and quickly turned his head to look at Ding Lingling, "Why did you just hear this Ding girl say that Mr. Ouyang's "Secret Technique of Organs" fell into the hands of Miss Ding?"
Ding Lingling nodded and smiled, but refused to say more, only said: "Since this is the case, then let's look for it carefully! I wonder if the Red Gate Master can be sure that there are any other organs in this tomb?"
"There are no other mechanisms, and as long as several people don't enter this room at the same time, the floor won't fall down!" said the Red Door Master.
"Then ask the others to stand outside the door hole first, and I will go back to the tomb with the Red Gate Master to look for it!" Ding Lingling said.
Her understanding of the organ was originally comparable to Chen Xiaopang, but she was studying "The Secret Art of the Organ" these days, and although Chen Xiaopang was also very interested in this book, it could not reach him until Ding Lingling finished reading it.
So at least at present, Ding Lingling is the most proficient in organs, so when she says this, Bai Yang and Chen Xiaopang have no opinion.
The Red Gate Lord shook his head and sighed: "I have searched carefully in the tomb, but I really can't find any results! But since Miss Ding is so interested, I will accompany Miss Ding to look around!"
Bai Yang has always admired the Red Gate Master very much, and when he heard her say this, he said: "Since the Red Gate Lord said so, is it possible that this mechanism valve is outside the stone gate?"
"I've also looked for the outside of the stone gate, but there is no other ...... except for the valve that opened the stone gate."
Before the Red Door Lord finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth, and his eyes shone brightly, as if he had thought of something.
Bai Yang's heart moved, and he almost said in unison with the Red Door Master: "Could it be that these two organs use a control valve?"
