220. Bonfire
Peeling off the sediment a delicate copper plate appeared in front of us, this plate is still somewhat covered with sediment, but the part that has been cleaned up is enough to amaze us, the labyrinthine lines stretch out in twists and turns, and each intersection is a hole, rather than a copper plate, I am more inclined to think that this is a sieve, although his holes are large and small and completely unorganized, but for a while I can't see what this thing is used for.
The three of us were lying on the ground, our eyes fixed on this thing, and we didn't know what it was for.
My ears listened carefully, and if it was a mechanism, it would make a sound. I put my ear to the ground and listened intently, and there was no sound coming from the cold rocks except for the cold.
"I guess this thing filters the mud and sand in the stream." Lao Hei said.
"You got water on your hands?" The old witch asked.
Old Black shook his head.
"That's impossible, what has existed for thousands of years, if it is really used to filter sediment, then the waterway has long been abandoned, how can there be a way for us to come in."
The old witch also has some truth in what she said, indeed if it was used to filter the sediment in the water, the stream over there has been flowing with the sediment in this hole, and the waterway should have been blocked a long time ago, and more importantly, the sediment in it is dry, but what I don't understand is why I put such a thing on the road.
"Why don't we go around again?" I stood up and said.
"Let's go, then." The old witch said.
So we walked forward again.
There was no change at all, it was still an endless tunnel, and the changes I expected did not appear, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Just when I was about to stop.
"No, we're out." The old witch's voice was a little excited, but the content was a little confusing.
"How are you sure?"
"I've counted before, we need to walk about three thousand six hundred steps from that pothole, and I need to walk about ten steps from the left and right, and I've walked five thousand steps now, and I've seen carefully along the way, there are no mounds and no potholes." The old witch explained.
"How do you know for sure? You stepped on that pothole too? "I was a little unconvinced. I hadn't found this hole before, and I didn't know how often I would encounter things without reference, but the old witch was so sure that we were out of it as she said.
"There's so much nonsense, just forget it if you don't believe it." The old witch said.
This old witch is really a stinky stone, not only stinky but also hard.
I then walked forward, "There's a light?" We're out? ”
There was a slight light ahead, flickering, and it looked like a fire. I held the dagger in my hand, and the old witch and the old black also saw the light, and we turned off the flashlight. If you can see the light, it means that the rock wall here does not have the light-absorbing substance, and if you turn on the flashlight again, you are looking for death.
Fortunately, my eyes have night vision, otherwise it would be really difficult.
We touched it carefully.
When I was about to arrive, Lao Hei grabbed me, "I'll go and see." ”
Lao Hei didn't wait for me to refuse, bypassed me, and walked up against the rock wall of the cave, his steps were light and weird, no wonder he caught the four of us unknowingly before, it was like a ghost.
"Come here." Old Black shouted.
The old witch and I turned on our flashlights and walked up.
"Why did you come up from behind?" Brother Neng asked.
I looked back at the cave we had walked to, puzzled, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
All the people gathered around, and the old witch told them what had happened, and Jian Linxiu asked the old black to walk with a witch guard on the way we came, as if he didn't believe us.
They didn't have to walk long, they came back in about an hour, and it seemed that they had returned the same way.
"I can't find that way." Lao Hei said.
I have expected this result, we walked into that place unconsciously, and couldn't get out of it in circles there, if it weren't for the pothole, it is estimated that it would still be going around there, and it was inexplicable to come out, and actually went around to the back of the team, I have to say that the degree of ingenuity in this mechanism far exceeds our understanding of the mechanism. Without too much decoration, the mechanism can be said to be one ring after another, and the way to open it is not something we are familiar with or can think of.
"Did we come in at the wrong time?" The Great Witch said.
What their tribe is good at is divination, ghosts and gods, all of which are related to the number of six nongs, and many times they need to be performed according to the time point.
And the problem we're having now is likely to have something to do with the time she spoke. Maybe it's not because we accidentally found the pit and dug up some mud and sand, but the mechanism in this mausoleum is divided by time control, which directly determines what kind of mechanism people will encounter when they enter or can directly enter the tomb.
"It's possible." Jian Hanyi said.
"The complexity of the mechanisms here is very exquisite, not only will they change without the mind of the gods, but each mechanism is not a type, either attack or trap, and have no idea what the next step will be, which requires luck without testing the ability."
What Jian Hanyi said is indeed the truth. If we hadn't gone again and missed that point, we might have to stay in it for a long time.
"During the time you entered, we also sent two witch guards in, but what they encountered was the end, and the end of the mechanism could not be found if it could not be opened, if I was not wrong, it should be the entrance that you will never see again." Jian Lin Xiu said.
I looked at Feng Lingzi, and he nodded, and it seemed that it was.
"Fortunately, our people have already marked it there, and the next time we get there, we will find out if it has been changed."
"Yes, it took you a total of four hours to go in this time, and it was another hour for us to return to check, and the mechanism was turned on for a short time, but it took a long time to operate, and we must seize that time to see what kind of surprise the master will prepare for us." Jian Hanyi said.
The mechanism divided by time, it suddenly occurred to me that the copper plate might not be as useless as we thought, and if it wasn't for the fact that we had pulled out some of the mud and sand, maybe it really wouldn't have been able to get out, and our previous Dementor Requiem would have taken much longer than this.
"In that case, what are you waiting for. I don't want to listen to that Requiem again. The old witch stuffed her ears, and the two oscillating dementors seemed to have a deep impression on her, and she couldn't help but get nervous when she learned that the mechanism might be repeated, but it was really unpleasant.
Let's go again.
The campfire hasn't been extinguished, and this is probably where we'll come back later.
