Chapter 52 on door locks

I looked everywhere for Thistle Yang, this tomb is not big, and the light is good, but there is no ghost of Thistle Yang everywhere, and finally after a while, Jiziyang floated over from the tomb above.

"Where did you go?" I asked.

"Looking at it, I haven't seen such a clean tomb for thousands of years, and there is definitely something wrong with this tomb."

"That's right, the burial chamber is indeed too clean, is there any way here to avoid dust?"

"You're so naïve, no one can do this, there's only one reason why this place is clean, here, someone cleans, and the last time it was cleaned was not long ago, that's why the inside of the tomb is so clean." Ji Ziyang said.

"Someone cleaning?! Are you saying that there are people living in this tomb? There really isn't a little dragon girl living here, right? ”

"It could be living inside, or it could be coming in from the outside." Ji Ziyang said.

"Coming in from the outside? Will anyone be able to walk through that Nine Returns Blood Gate? I was surprised.

"No, look at the growth of those laughing grasses, it should be that no one has come in for a long time, so it shouldn't have come in from there, the Nine Returns Blood Gate has only known the blood of one person since the moment it was built, if the person who built it is still alive, it will be hundreds of years old now."

"If you didn't come in from the Nine Returns Blood Gate, that means there are other exits here?" I said happily that it seemed that there was still a chance for us to escape from here.

Ji Ziyang nodded in agreement, "If you think about the painting on the wall, that painting is obviously a four-story strange tower, but this is not a straight up and straight structure, judging from the direction of the corridor you slid down, this should be under the slope of the upper tomb, not the upper and lower structure, so that painting is either not painted here, but somewhere else, or the painting is not a model indicator at all, just to attract people's attention, and then let people be tricked." So if we want to leave this strange tomb, we still have to rely on ourselves, and many things here are unreliable. Ji Ziyang said seriously.

In fact, I also think the same way, the strange phenomena in this ancient tomb are too frequent, and the more we go down, the more bizarre the things become, and we can only walk on thin ice, step by step.

I went back to the corridor and carefully read the four-character short poems twice, I had a good memory, and it didn't take long to memorize those short poems, I went back to the tomb and went straight to Uncle Lu.

"Uncle, do you still have your pen and paper? Give it to me. Uncle Lu handed me a pen and a piece of letterhead with a checkered letter, and there were small pink flowers on it, which looked quite girlish, I couldn't help but laugh, and quickly wrote down those short poems.

When I finished the poem, I put away the paper and put it in the small waist bag in front of me, which was still hot at this time, and I took out the feather, the edge was still red, and it was still hot. It seems that this warning reminds me that something is still down there.

I was about to sit on the floor and study this four-character short poem, when I suddenly heard Dazhe and Yun Ximing shouting at the same time in the corner.

"Yinyin, come and take a look."

This burial chamber, like the burial chamber above, hangs an ancient painting of a beautiful woman ascending to immortality, but there is no pipe, the whole burial chamber is empty, except for the glowing night pearl on the wall, there is nothing else. I hurriedly ran over, Yun Ximing squatted in the corner of the wall on the east side, I don't know what there was, which attracted his attention, but Dazhe squatted in the corner of the wall on the south side, also looking at something strange.

I leaned over to Yun Ximing, and saw him staring at the corner of the wall, looking at something, this thing was very low, and it was tightly attached to the corner, so I didn't let it be discovered, and I saw it when I got closer, it was a strange device, it looked like a scale, the lever was a copper rod, and there were also intricate patterns on it, and there were two copper rings at both ends of the copper stick, and there were two empty copper jars on the ring, and now the balance was balanced and motionless. The copper rod in the middle of the balance is inserted in the ground, and it also has an intricate pattern.

Yun Ximing took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal me to step back, and then stretched out his hand, grabbed the copper rod standing vertically in the middle, and lifted it upwards with force, but there was no response, this copper stick didn't know how deep it was buried underneath, and it couldn't be lifted.

Dazhe saw that I didn't pass, so he ran over.

"Huh?! Brother Childe, you also have one here, and I also have one on my side, which is exactly the same as this thing, I don't know what it is for. "We're working on it here, and Uncle Lu is here to tell us that we have this strange device in the remaining two corners.

It's strange to say that when we came in just now, we didn't find these four devices, and we don't know what the situation was. We were standing in the center of the burial chamber just now, and when I took two steps back to the central position, I immediately understood that although the room was bright, the light was inexplicably gathered in the middle, and these four corners became blind spots, obscured by dark areas that were not bright, and were not easy to find.

There are such devices in the four corners, I don't know, what is this for, Yun Ximing reached out and lifted those copper jars again.

"It's all dead, it can't be lifted, and it's together with the brass hoop."

Uncle Lu also came over, and the scene was actually quite ridiculous Four adults, pouting and squatting on the ground, like children studying ants, staring at the strange device. Suddenly, Uncle Lu spoke.

"Yin girl, will this thing be like a balancer used by many advanced countries as a safety device? Only a fixed object, a fixed weight, can unlock the secret lock, are these things used to unlock? ”

"Uncle, you mean it's a door lock?!" I asked.

"I think Uncle Lu is right, it may be true, Yin Yin, throw something in and take a look." Yun Ximing also agreed.

"Okay, I'll try." As I spoke, I took out a Nanguo pear from my pocket, carried it with a gold rope, and slowly put it into the copper jar on the left side, and the strength in my hand was loosened, and the weight of the Nanguo pear fell on the copper jar, and sure enough, Uncle Lu was right, and there was a roaring sound of mechanical rotation in the walls around us, as if I could really open the door and walk out of this tomb by really touching the mechanism. I suddenly remembered the escape room game that was once very popular, if this ancient tomb was really built by our ancestor, then he must be the ancestor of the escape room game.

"It seems that Uncle Lu is right, this should be a door lock, but I'm afraid we haven't found the key yet." Yun Ximing began to look everywhere, it was really like an escape room, but there was no pillow with the key hidden here, and there was no book with clues in it, so it was obvious that we were trapped.
