Chapter 9: The Golden Corridor

After looking at the statue for a while, he turned to the other three sides, looked at it for a while, and then carefully stared at the group of statues on the north side and said, "It seems that the order should start with the east statue, then the north, then the south, and finally the west." ”

Chen Fang asked on the other side, "Why?" ”

Pointing to the group of statues on the east side, he said, "In each group of statues here, there are three identical people, two men and one woman. For the sake of convenience, we call the two men A and B, and the women C . The first group on the east side should be written that B is in love with C, C is very shy, but he did not refuse, and A on the side should be resentful, so in the statue, he is designed to hold the dagger at his waist. ”

After speaking, the torture technique pointed to the group of statues in the north, in the statue, the second man and the second woman were shaking hands, their foreheads were close together, very sweet, and the statue of the first man facing them, with his back to the torture and the others, was holding a knife behind the statue.

Ma Fei understood: "This is simple, B and C have confirmed the relationship, A pulled out the dagger and hid it behind him, indicating that he has really become murderous, not just staying at the level of jealousy, maybe he has to take action." ”

Xingshu nodded, looking at the group of statues to the south, here is the pregnant girl and the horse on the horse, wearing armor to prepare for the battle, at the same time, the first man is also wearing armor and riding a war horse side by side, but his eyes are looking straight ahead, not looking at the second man and the second woman.

Lian Jiuqi said: "It should be a war or something, the two men went to the battlefield together, it can be seen from here that the two men A and B are very good friends, at least at this time, B and C don't know A's mind." ”

Xingshu looked at the last group of statues on the west side: "In the last group of statues, there is only one person in the group of statues, she has already given birth to a child, and she holds the child every day and looks at the window, waiting for the return of Oto-man." ”

Maffei didn't understand: "What does it mean?" ”

"It should have something to do with the mechanism of this house, otherwise I just want to tell us something, the cast iron immortal built the strange gate, the reason is definitely not so simple." Xingshu touched his chin and analyzed, "It's safe here for the time being, let's rest for the time being, and check if there are any other clues by the way." ”

After the torture was finished, Lian Jiuqi advised: "If you find something uncertain, don't touch it, in these ancient ruins, the mechanism is usually fatal." ”

Xingshu and the others didn't know that in the first stone chamber at the other end of the stone chamber where they were, Qian Xiuye and the others were also studying the four groups of statues on the four walls of the stone chamber, of course, they didn't understand the meaning, but Qian Xiuye was more interested in the iron coffin that fell between the three stone slabs.

Obviously, the iron coffin fell from the burial ground above, but there were three skeletons in the coffin, obviously, one of the three skeletons was from the cast iron immortal, the other was from Xue Lao Wu, who came with Zhang Molu back then, and the other one should be Xing Boqiu's.

Qian Xiuye stood in front of the deformed iron coffin, and exclaimed: "From the tunnel we drilled into to the bottom, at least a hundred meters, plus the location of the tunnel to the top, let alone two or three hundred meters, this height falls, this iron coffin is only deformed, it looks like it is made of inverted molds, and it is not made of ordinary iron." ”

Yuan Zhenba looked at Qian Xiuye: "Uncle Qian, do you mean, this coffin may be hiding some other secrets?" ”

"No, there shouldn't be any secrets." Qian Xiuye said with a smile, "I just think that Qimen has always been under the nose, and it makes sense for others to ignore it, but I would ignore it, it's ridiculous." ”

Fan Meng said beside him: "Master, let's hurry up, in case the other people in the stone chamber open the mechanism before us, it will be troublesome if we are one step ahead." ”

Qian Xiuye smiled lightly: "Fan Meng, you think too simply, once you come to this kind of place, it will be no different." ”

Fan Meng didn't understand what Qian Xiuye meant, Qian Xiuye explained: "In this kind of area full of organs, in front or behind, it doesn't make much sense, perhaps, after the next organ is opened and we leave, our three teams will take three different paths." ”

The tarsiers asked, "Why?" ”

Qian Xiuye looked at the three stone slabs on the ground: "There are three miracles of the prophet, and there are also three stone chambers, and coincidentally, there are also three floors in the stone chamber, so there should be three ways out, this is a conventional speculation, and these four groups of statues on four sides are obviously telling a story." ”

"Story?" Fan Meng looked at it carefully, "Although it seems to be a story, it seems to be incomplete, with no beginning and no end." ”

Yuan Zhenba didn't know if Fan Meng was pretending to be stupid or what's going on, so he deliberately explained: "The story is incomplete, I think, because there must be other statues in the other three stone chambers, and the statues in the three stone chambers should be a complete story when they are combined." ”

Qian Xiuye nodded: "Zhenba is right, it should be like this." ”

Fan Meng deliberately looked suddenly bright, smiled at Yuan Zhenba and nodded.

Along the way, Yuan Zhenba realized that the people around Qian Xiuye, except for Modui Bridge, seemed to have their own plans, and they were not fuel-efficient lamps.

However, Yuan Zhenba also knew that Qian Xiuye might know what they were thinking better than these people, but he was just manipulating it in his own way, or rather, he was very willing to see these people under him have their own plans.

Because once they have their own plans, they will set themselves against others, and when the time comes, this person will have to face more than just Qian Xiuye.

Besides, Qian Xiuye still has Mo Dui Bridge by his side, and the tarsier and his 8 subordinates, although there is disdain in their eyes when they look at Mo Du Bridge, there is also fear in them, after all, they are clear about the strength of Marcus, the leader of the cleanup team.

Fan Meng looked around: "Then now, what should I do?" ”

Qian Xiuye thought for a while: "Rest, I'm too tired, rest for a while, nourish your spirit, Zhenba, you have more experience in this area, so it's hard for you." ”

Yuan Zhenba nodded: "Yes, Uncle Qian." ”

Just as Yuan Zhenba turned around and left to study one of the statues, Qian Xiuye looked at his back with a murderous look, and this detail was seen by Mo Dui Qiao, who was standing aside, and then, Mo Dui Qiao's gaze also locked on Yuan Zhen Ba.

In the stone room in the middle, Chen Taidong, who was with He Chenxue and others, also discovered the secret hidden in the statue, he pondered for a moment, and finally turned around and told his analysis.

After He Chenxue listened, she first thanked her: "Thank you, Uncle Chen." ”

Chen Taidong said unceremoniously: "You can just call me Uncle Chen, don't call me Uncle Shi." ”

He Chenxue didn't feel embarrassed, just smiled: "Okay, Uncle Chen." ”

Fan Junyi took a magnifying glass, looked at one of the statues, and shone it with a flashlight for a long time before saying, "The statue seems to be transparent." ”

Chen Taidong said on the side: "Yes, it is indeed transparent. ”

"But it's definitely not made of jade." Chen Taidong shook his head and said, "It's not crystal, it feels like plastic to me." ”

Chen Taidong said: "How is that possible, it has only been a hundred years since the invention of plastics. ”

"However, it really feels like ......" Fan Jun touched it with his hand, and as soon as his fingers touched the statue, a hole appeared directly in the statue, and then water began to flow out of the hole.

Fan Junyi was startled, Chen Taidong pushed it away, worried that the water in the air would suddenly shoot out, after all, he didn't know what the composition of the water was, if it was poisonous or corrosive, Fan Junyi would die in an instant.

Chen Taidong made a gesture for Fan Junyi to leave, and at the same time said: "Everyone spread out, standing on top of three different stone slabs, working in pairs back to back, in addition to staring at the leaky statue, also look in other directions, don't take it lightly." ”

He Chenxue looked at Fan Junyi with reproachful eyes, Fan Junyi was also very guilty, Mu Tianjian protected He Chenxue, and guarded the surroundings with a gun.

Xu You, who was on another stone slab, looked at Mu Tianjian and said jokingly: "Hey, what are you doing with a gun, what kind of hidden weapon will fly out later, can you still use bullets to knock it out?" Put your gun away and watch out for stray bullets. ”

Although Mu Tianjian glared at Xu You, he knew in his heart that Xu You's words made sense, he just habitually took out his gun, so he had to put the gun back in the holster.

Xu You looked at Chen Taidong who was observing the statue from behind, and did not shut up, and continued to nag: "This is China, do you think it is somewhere else?" You also bring a gun when you come to this kind of place. ”

Mu Tianjian didn't pay attention to Xu You at all, just stared at the statue.

Yang Zhengxia also touched Xu You with his elbow and motioned for him not to talk too much, so as not to cause conflict.

Chen Taidong looked at the statue and found that the water in it was flowing continuously, and also found that in fact, the water only existed in the statue, and when the water level reached a position parallel to the hole, the flow stopped.

Chen Taidong raised his flashlight to shine it, and at the same time, he also noticed that between the floor potion layer and the base of the statue, there was a row of holes the size of thumbs, which looked like drainage holes, and the location of those drainage holes was not high from the potion layer below.

Chen Taidong turned to look at the other three statues around him, thought for a moment, motioned for the others to squat, and began to stab the bottom of the four groups of statues one by one, deliberately letting the water flow out.

Mu Tianjian felt strange: "What are you doing?" ”

Xu You wanted to speak, but was covered by Yang Zhengxia.

Chen Taidong pointed to the drainage hole and said: "See, the water level has risen, this should be the key to uncovering the mechanism, otherwise, it is impossible to have a potion that is just under the drainage hole for no reason, and the statue cannot be filled with water for no reason." ”

Fan Junyi was still puzzled: "What is the surface of the statue?" There is only a thin film to the touch, so how does it wrap the water inside? ”

Chen Taidong squatted there and said coldly: "If you have a chance, you can open the museum yourself and ask the Cast Iron Immortal, it is estimated that only he knows." ”

Fan Junyi smiled awkwardly and didn't speak again.

Everyone's eyes were locked on the drainage hole, and they also found that like Chen Taidong, when the water in the four statues was exhausted, the water level in the stone chamber gradually rose, and when it submerged to the location of the drainage hole, the water was directly poured in, and at the same time there was a non-stop "grunting" sound.

The "grunt" sound reached everyone's ears, like a war drum, but they didn't know whether it was a friend or an enemy who beat the war drum, and if it was, maybe when the water level returned to normal, they would turn into several corpses.

After less than ten seconds, the water level returned to its previous position, and at the same time, everyone was surprised to find that the water had returned to the four groups of statues through some channel, and then flowed out through the small hole, and so on and so on, and the three stone slabs under their feet began to rotate slowly.

"Stand still!" Chen Taidong shouted, "Stand firm, don't fall into the water." ”

After the three stone slabs gradually opened up a certain distance, a wellhead slowly rotated from the middle of the water, and when the wellhead surfaced, it stopped.

Chen Taidong signaled not to come forward, waited for a while, then squatted down and approached, and shook the wellhead twice with a pickaxe to make sure that no mechanism would be triggered, then he got up and turned on the flashlight, and shone into it, and at first glance saw the grooves on the four walls of the well for climbing.

Chen Taidong looked at He Chenxue and said, "It seems that this should be the exit." ”

He Chenxue raised his hand to look at his watch: "Let's be considered to be almost rested, so let's go down." ”

Xu You didn't say a word, and climbed in directly, followed by Yang Zhengxia, and then Fan Junyi.

Mu Tianjian saw that He Chenxue didn't leave, and he also stood beside her, staring at Chen Taidong opposite.

Chen Taidong looked directly at He Chenxue and said, "There are some things I have to remind you again......

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." He Chenxue smiled slightly, turned over and climbed onto the well, trying to block Chen Taidong's mouth with his actions.

Chen Taidong didn't shut up, but looked at He Chenxue who was crawling down, and continued: "With this kind of staffing of yours, coming here is looking for death, I advise you to turn back, even if you have a Mu Tianjian by your side, it's useless, the people around Qian Xiuye are not easy to deal with, not to mention, there is also a Mo Dusk Bridge, he is the top." ”

He Chenxue stopped and looked up at Chen Taidong: "When I came, I didn't want to leave alive, but even if I want to die, I will take Fan Meng with me." ”

Below He Chenxue, Fan Jun, who was climbing, was stunned, his hand involuntarily grasped the groove, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued to climb down.

Chen Taidong grabbed the edge of the well: "Your Xuan family is so smart, how come your and your sister's generation will degenerate like this!?" ”

He Chenxue didn't stop, and responded in a cold tone: "My surname is He, Uncle Chen, did you recognize the wrong person?" ”

Chen Taidong knew that he couldn't be dissuaded, so he tried his best, so he had to turn on the walkie-talkie and try to tell the torture technique how to turn on the switch, but the walkie-talkie was not easy to use, just made a burst of noise.

In desperation, Chen Taidong had to turn over and climb into the well, but before that, he used his camera to take pictures of all four sets of statues.

In the last stone room, the torture technique also discovered the secret of the statue, and also used the same method as Chen Taidong to open the mechanism and find the exit.

"Another fucking well!" Lian Jiuqi frowned and said, "I'm a little scared when I see the well now. ”

Yan Gang stepped forward and shone a flashlight into the well: "I hope this well is not like the one on the top of the head, not only is it deep, but there are other monsters hiding in it." ”

The torture technique lay there and watched: "It shouldn't be deep, you can see the bottom, let's go." ”

Everyone took turns to crawl down, Yan Gang, Chen Fang and Bai Zhongzheng were still the pioneers of the way, and they were the first to climb down, and when Yan Gang landed, they were dumbfounded, because below was a very long corridor, not only long, but also golden, as if the entire corridor was made of gold.

Yan Gang and the others didn't dare to step forward, so they had to stand at the entrance of the corridor, waiting for the torture arts, Qi Guan and others to come down, and then they raised their hands and pointed ahead, but they didn't know what to say.

"Wow" Maffei tightened his backpack straps, "Golden Corridor? ”

Chen Fang extinguished the flashlight on his body: "How can it be so bright?" At a depth of hundreds of meters underground, how did the light come from? ”

"Reflected light, there must be something that can produce light sources in the walls of this corridor, similar to the Night Pearl and the like, and a lot, reflected through the concentrated light of the Night Pearl, plus the ceiling, floor, and walls of the corridor are smooth surfaces, so that the layers of reflection cause the entire corridor to be dazzling." "Put on polarizing goggles so that you don't burn your eyes with strong light." ”

After putting on the torture technique, he turned his head and asked Qi Guan: "Uncle Qi, what do you think of this place?" ”

Qi Guan put on his goggles, adjusted them again, and then said, "What are the so-called three miracles of the prophet?" First, turning iron into gold; second, to bring the dead back to life; Third, see through people's hearts, my previous judgment was correct, there are three stone chambers, and there should be three ways out, the road we are facing should be to turn iron into gold, but as for what will happen next, I don't know, be cautious, you all stand back, this time I will be with the torture. ”

Nodding silently, Torture pulled out a prepared ball from his bag and rolled towards the hallway, but the ball didn't roll far before sliding forward against the wall on the right, and then slowly stopped.

Qi Guan lay down and looked carefully at the floor in the corridor: "It looks like the floor is very flat." ”

"yes, something is wrong." Torture shook his head and said, "Although it looks smooth, when I rolled over the ball, the ball rolled directly towards the wall on the right, and if it weren't for the tilt of the ground, this wouldn't have happened." ”

Torture thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Yan Gang grabbed the arm of the torture technique: "I'll go." ”

Xingshu looked at Yan Gang and shook his head, taking his hand away: "I'll go, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

After the torture was finished, he looked at Ma Fei again and said, "I'll be fine, so don't follow me, besides, you are the reserve leader." ”

Qi Guan also looked at Ma Fei and shook his head, Ma Fei grabbed the hand of the torture technique and shook it vigorously: "You be careful." ”

"It's okay, don't worry." As soon as he stepped on the smooth floor of the golden corridor, he stepped on it steadily, and then slowly stepped forward step by step, and at the same time carefully observed the surroundings, and found that this corridor seemed to be really coated with a thick layer of gold on the surface, and there was no gap between the upper and lower sides, so the possibility of the existence of a mechanism was relatively low.

But as he walked, he felt a little dizzy, and he subconsciously leaned against the wall next to him, took a deep breath, and shook his head.

Ma Fei, who was in the rear, saw the torture technique holding on to the wall, realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Torture, what's wrong with you?" ”

Torture swallowed his saliva, felt a little disgusting, and struggled to turn around to answer, but the moment he turned around, Torture fainted directly.
