Chapter 2 Tang-style Old Mansion Chapter 11 General Gatekeeper
Wang Daling heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile, although the two of them were temporarily out of danger, but they only stopped the falling stone top, the real crisis is still there, if they can't find the exit, in this confined space, I'm afraid it won't be long before the two of them will worry about their lives.
At this moment, the sound of "click, click, click" sounded behind the two of them, and Wang Daling scolded in a low voice: "What the fuck is this moth again?" ”
The two hurriedly turned their heads to see that the stone that originally painted the portrait of the general was slowly sinking into the ground, revealing a door-like space, the two of them were a little excited for a moment, could it be that this was the exit, but they were not happy for a second, only to see a figure looming behind the stone door, and a figure seemed to appear. The hearts of the two sank, and they hurriedly took a few steps back, it is not a good thing for this kind of ghost place to appear! The two unconsciously reached for the sapper shovel at their waists, in order to meet the danger that might arise at any time.
With a muffled sound of "click", the stone gate finally sank completely to the ground, and the figure behind the stone gate became clear. That figure is different from ordinary people, at least more than two meters tall, compared to Wang Daling is also a lot taller, I saw him dressed in military uniform, standing with a halberd in his right hand, showing his heroic spirit, although his face was dull at this time, but lifelike, his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep. Seeing this, Wang Daling gasped, lowered his voice and asked, "Ah... Ghost, is this a living person? Or what the hell are we doing? How could a corpse be so well preserved? ”
Faced with this scene, Ghost Shuo was also shocked, and secretly wondered in his heart, what is this? If it is a corpse, it is indeed impossible to preserve it so well, even with modern science, it will never be able to do this, but if it is not a corpse, it is difficult to be like Wang Daling said, this is... Ghost?
Ghost Shuo steadied himself, slowly moved a few steps forward, and got closer to the "great general", and took a good look at this "great general" by the light of the flashlight, and finally Ghost Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Wang Daling: "It's a wax figure, not a real person!" ”
"Wax figures?" Wang Daling looked a little incredible, this living thing was actually a wax figure? When was this secret passage built, and did it have such technology? Wang Daling took a few more steps forward with courage, and finally reached a distance of only one or two steps away from the wax figure, looked and looked, and then sighed: "Damn, I'm scared to death!" It's the same as the real thing, it should have been moved into Madame Tussauds! ”
After confirming that what was in front of him was not a living thing, Wang Daling's courage naturally grew! He actually walked to the general and compared his height with it, and then reached out and gently touched the body of the wax figure: "Ah ghost, why do I think that the body under this armor is not made of wax, but more like some kind of hard wood." ”
Oni Shuo didn't care about this wax figure, because his eyes were already attracted by a black stone door behind the wax figure, he turned sideways around the wax figure, and shone a flashlight, this is indeed a stone door, but there is no text or decoration, but it should be able to determine that it is the exit to the rear. Ghost Shuo leaned down and was about to further investigate the mystery of this black stone door, but suddenly heard Wang Daling on the side scream in horror, Ghost Shuo thought that something dangerous had happened, so he subconsciously rolled behind him, picked up the shovel and made a posture of preparing for battle.
I saw Wang Daling froze in place, trembling with a hand, pointing at the general's eyes... Ghost Shuo looked over, and the general's eyes actually opened! It glared at the two of them, its gaze sharp, and there was an inexplicable sense of majesty. Seeing this, the ghost Shuo was also surprised, he clearly remembered that the eyes of the wax figure were closed just now, so he asked Wang Daling: "Did you touch some mechanism randomly?" ”
"I don't know, it shouldn't be you walking around to wake it up... Before he finished speaking, he saw that the general's hand suddenly moved, and hit Wang Daling, the movement was very fast, Wang Daling didn't have time to dodge, he was hit hard in the chest, and Wang Daling's whole person flew out suddenly, and it was three or four meters away before he landed. Needless to say, this time the injury was not light, the bones in Wang Daling's chest seemed to be broken, and he couldn't get up for a while while lying on the ground, Ghost Shuo hurriedly rolled to Wang Daling's side, trying to help him up, but Wang Daling spit out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "This broken wax statue, it's really heavy!" Still don't let people live? ”
Ghost Shuo was worried that it would attack again, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the general for a moment, because at this time it had already raised the halberd that was originally standing on the ground, but it suddenly stood still in place.
Wang Daling was surprised: "Could this be a corpse?" ”
"What kind of corpse? I told you this is a wax figure! But... Maybe as you said, only the head is a wax figure, and the body is something else, otherwise the arm made of wax would have broken with the blow just now. "Ghost Shuo said.
Ghost Shuo slowly got up and walked towards the general, Wang Daling suddenly shouted: "Ghost, don't!" It's too dangerous! ”
Ghost Shuo ignored it, but still walked over cautiously, how could a living person be afraid of a wooden man? Since it's a wooden man, there must be something like a mechanism on his body, and it's done when it's closed! But just when Ghost Shuo was about a meter away from the general, the general suddenly shook his body and stabbed straight at Ghost Shuo with the halberd in his hand, fortunately Ghost Shuo had already prepared, and a sideways body dodged, and at the same time quickly went around behind it, but Ghost Shuo didn't have time to make any movement, the general's left arm waved, and the "snap" hit Ghost Shuo's body, and Ghost Shuo also flew out like Wang Daling, and the blood in his mouth flowed in an instant, and the general returned to stillness and stood motionless.
", that's fast!" Wang Daling sighed.
Ghost Shuo observed for a moment and muttered, "Fortunately, it's just a gatekeeper, in order to just guard the stone gate behind, otherwise... ”
"Ghost, why don't we go up together and find the switch while it's messy! Give it a power-off treatment! ”
Ghost Shuo thought for a while, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's useless! This should be a perpetual motion machine! Just like the legendary Wooden Ox Flowing Horse! ”
"Wooden oxen and horses? Are you talking about the one made by Zhuge Liang? Wang Daling asked loudly.
Ghost Shuo nodded vigorously and responded: "That's it!" Invented during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, it can carry a capacity of 400 catties, cross mountains and mountains, and form a perpetual motion machine by the principle of gears. The world once wondered if it really existed, but I didn't expect to see it here today! ”
"That... Is it a wood product or a wax product? Wang Daling asked.
"What the is it, and you're still thinking about these boring questions?" Ghost Shuo finally couldn't help but scold.
Although this general does not have the initiative to attack, it just stays here like this, blocking the only way out behind it, that can't be done, no matter what, it must find a way to clean it up. After slowing down for a while, Ghost Shuo finally sat up, and he crawled around Wang Daling from a distance, urging: "Quick! Take your coat off! ”
Wang Daling was stunned: "Ghost, what are you going to make trouble with?" ”
Ghost Shuo pulled Wang Daling's coat and replied, "Whether this general is wax or wooden, he must be afraid of one thing - fire!" Catch your clothes on fire and throw them over, you'll be sure to get it done! ”
"This dress is genuine! Can't you burn something else? Wang Daling suddenly felt distressed.
"It's okay to burn your pants!"
"How? Is there any other way? ”
"Yes! You took a lighter and lit it! ”
"How? If you get close, you won't be killed by it! ”
"Isn't that it? So much nonsense! And you've wrapped this coat around a rat just now, so I don't think you want it, right? Hearing the mouse, Wang Daling felt a feeling of nausea, so he no longer resisted, and let Ghost Shuo take off his coat and quickly ignite it! Wang Daling looked at it and felt distressed!
Ghost Shuo did not hesitate, when the fire burned a little bigger, he immediately jumped out and threw the burning clothes on the general's head, because the general's head was made of wax, and soon the flames quickly ignited and spread to the whole body, and the hole was brightly lit by the fire, but the general remained motionless!
Wang Daling couldn't help muttering: "Why were we beaten as soon as we got close to it just now, and now that it's burned like this, it doesn't struggle?" ”
Oni Shuo looked around the general and replied, "I suspect that there may be something similar to gravity sensing around it, and once the weight changes in the range, it will trigger an attack, but on the contrary, it has no ability to resist such a fire." ”
As he spoke, there was a "boom", and the general was also burned down, and Ghost Shuo saw that it was no longer aggressive, so he hurriedly walked around behind him and began to observe the black stone door by the light of the fire. The stone gate is about two meters high, the top is arched, about three meters wide, there is no text and decoration, and the crack at the bottom of the stone door is sealed by cast iron.
Wang Daling urged: "Ghost, take a look, where is the mechanism that opens the door?" ”
Unexpectedly, the ghost next to him sat on the ground, and said with no god in his eyes: "It's over, the cast iron of this door is often a thousand-pound sealing stone!" I'm afraid there is no way to open this door! ”
"What! Sealing stone? Ghost, you can't be discouraged, don't you want to think about it anymore? ”
Ghost Shuo shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice, "What can you do?" We now have two shovels, half a pack of cigarettes, and a flashlight that is running out of battery, what can we do? ”
Wang Daling turned around and pushed the stone door hard, and sure enough, he didn't move at all, this is definitely not something that human beings can do! Wang Daling tried to stuff the crack of the door with a sapper shovel a few times, hoping to pry open a little gap, but it was simply whimsical, tossed it, Wang Daling was already sweating profusely, so he threw the shovel and sat next to the ghost, it seemed that he didn't plan to toss, and was ready to wait for death...
