Chapter 12 Cheng Bites Jin Mansion

Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.

We knew that there was still a passage, but a group of us searched around for a long time and didn't find any trace of the passage.

We began to dig in the vicinity and lifted the floor, but under the square stone slabs, they were neatly laid with heavy iron plates.

Huzi said: "This iron plate can't be a whole piece, let's see how big this iron plate is." ”

So, we began to spread out on the ground, and finally we found the gaps, but the gaps were all watered with molten iron, that is, the main hall was almost welded together as a whole.

Hu Junjie stomped his feet and scolded: "Bastard, how can they have such mature welding technology!" ”

At this time, the dragon squatted on the ground, looked at the iron plate on the ground and said: "This is the handiwork of the Mo family's machine, and this iron plate uses a mortise and tenon structure similar to that of a carpenter." This iron plate is grooved, and the two iron plates are placed together, and after the molten iron is poured in the middle, it flows into the groove, and after the molten iron solidifies, the iron plate is firmly connected together. ”

But where will the exit be?

We continued our search, almost rummaging around, but we couldn't find any clues.

Everyone tirelessly and tirelessly searched around for a day, and it was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that everyone had to stop.

We returned to the Jinluan Hall dejectedly, and when we returned, we saw the two brothers sleeping next to each other.

We removed a lot of wooden door and window frames and lit a fire in the hall.

When the fire was lit, the generator was extinguished, and then the food was heated around the fire, and then it was eaten.

Everyone is preoccupied and doesn't communicate much.

After eating, it was half past six in the afternoon. It's already summer, so it's still light up outside at this time.

We don't know if it's raining or sunny outside, it's so quiet that we can hear the sound of air bending through the corridor in a U-shape into the Golden Luang Temple.

At this time, I stared at the iron ding used to cook human broth, and thought to myself, if I was extremely hungry, would I also eat people? No, I'd rather kill myself than do something like this. Although I know that hunger is very unbearable, it seems to me that it is better to eat human flesh than to die.

Huzi stood up at this time and said, "Lao Chen, let's go and bring some paper people and paper horses back." ”

I said, "What are you going to do with all that?" ”

Huzi said: "Burn, what else can you do?" ”

At this time, Long Sihai was splitting the door panel with a hammer and chisel, which was half a foot thick and was a good material for fire.

The people who came in before were also burning these things, and we saw that many doors and windows were torn down, and they should have been burned.

When we were looking for firewood, we found a well in the kitchen, and the walls of the well were made of meteoric iron, which was directly inserted into the water conservancy underground. So what the people here lack is not fire, nor water, but food.

I said, "Enough is enough to burn, so why burn those things?" ”

Huzi said: "I'm worried that if those things don't burn, they will come and scare us when the fog rises at night." ”

I said, "Just close the door, and they won't be able to come over!" ”

As soon as I said this, I immediately sat up, and I said loudly: "Huzi, the gate was closed before, how did this paper man and paper horse get out?" ”

Huzi immediately stood up and said loudly: "The passage is not here, but in the hall in front." ”

Hu Junjie patted his thigh and stood up, and said, "Yes, this gate was originally closed, and it is impossible for paper people and paper horses to pass through the gate to come here, they were taken out from the front by the fox fairy." And the huge/large paper sedan chair was also carried out from the front. It's not small, the passage must be in front, and it's a big one. ”

At this time, everyone couldn't wait and stood up one after another. I said, "Let's go back, let's camp in the front hall." ”

Everyone agreed, and we began to transition, and before the fog arrived, we were back in the main hall in front of us.

When I arrived, I exhaled and said, "To trap us here is to numb us, to mislead us, to make us think that this is actually a cage, when in fact the passage is here." ”

Huzi said: "The people who designed this mechanism are too cunning, they locked us up here, and let all our attention be focused on how to get out of here." It's good that we can escape, but if we can't, we'll be stuck here forever, because we can't imagine that the passage is actually here. We're not going to try to find a way here. ”

I said, "So where do you think the passage will be?" ”

The dragon said: "This hall should be designed by the people of the Mo family, and the passage will be designed very cleverly. ”

By this time, the fog had been pressed down from above, and this fog was pervasive, and soon filled the entire hall. We could only gather around the fire and wait for the dawn.

I slept for just over three hours one night, and when the fog cleared, a group of us started the generator and lit it up.

This hall is full of paper figures and paper horses, but it looks taller than the Jinluan Hall in the back. That's not normal.

The pillars in this hall are also three horizontal and three vertical and nine vertical, but they are much thicker than those in the Jinluan Hall behind. The diameter is about two meters.

The dragon said: "This is like a place where the emperor ordered troops!" ”

I hummed and said, "That's right, this passage is also a passage used by Xiao Han to send troops to sneak attack the enemy, I have to say that the design here is really ingenious." ”

The lights illuminated the place as if it were day, and everyone began to grope in the entire hall, and the dragon and Long Wenwen and Long Sihai were responsible for lifting the floor, and Hu Junjie led people to start smashing the wall.

And I, for part, became interested in the pillars here.

I soon noticed that there was one pillar that was a little different from the others, the pillar was horizontal and vertical, and the middle one looked different. It's not that the shape is different, but after the fog clears, there are more and bigger water droplets hanging on it.

It's rolling down from above.

I don't know what this is, but I know that the environment of these nine pillars is the same, and it stands to reason that when the fog clears, the water droplets hanging on them will be the same. But this one is different from the other eight pillars, is it because it is in the middle?

I circled around the pillar and found nothing out of the ordinary, so I crouched down on the ground and began to examine the slate on the ground. The slabs here are noticeably smoother than elsewhere, and when I touch them with my hands, they are about as smooth as a mirror.

This is caused by the fact that there are often some people walking around here.

I'm almost certain now that the passage is on this pillar.

Now that there is a suspicion, it is not difficult to find an agency. I lifted the floor and there was no mechanism under it, so I focused on the pillars.

There is a black dragon on the pillar, and this black dragon is a yang carving, lifelike. I reached out and touched the tail of the black dragon, and then followed the tail a little bit upward, and finally, I saw a scale that had been touched very shiny, and the scale was just within reach.

I tried to move the scales, but the scales didn't move, I pulled out, I still couldn't pull, I pushed in, I still couldn't push. I tried to turn, and the scales moved, and then the black dragon rattled and crawled on the pillar.

Suddenly, I attracted a lot of attention here.

I heard Long Sihai shouting: "Fourth uncle, this dragon is alive." ”

The black dragon circled up, and in the position where the dragon was coiled just now, a door appeared, and there was a ring-shaped rotating handle on this door panel, and there was a number keypad of "〇 to nine" next to it, which was arranged in four times three like a mobile phone keyboard. 〇 At the bottom, the left side of 〇 is the word "retreat", and the right side is the word "advance".

Everyone gathered around, and Huzi looked at it and said, "Combination lock!" We don't even know how many passwords we have, so it's impossible to guess them. ”

There was a rotating movable plate above the door panel, and at this time, the movable plate rattled and turned, and then, a mathematical logic problem appeared on it.
