Chapter 2 Tang-style Old Mansion Chapter 10 Secret Passage Mechanism

Ghost Shuo raised his head and looked around again, and said: "It should be the sound hole design here, if there is air movement in the secret passage, it will make a sound like playing a flute, this design cooperates with the mural on the wall, and cleverly achieves the illusion of the resurrection of the Yin soldier just now." ”

As soon as the ghost Shuo's voice fell, the opposite side made the same hissing sound as just now, from small to large, from far to near, and finally quiet, almost a minute before and after.

Wang Daling knew what was going on, so he eliminated the fear in his heart, got up cautiously, and asked suspiciously: "There doesn't seem to be a vent in this secret passage, but where is this wind coming from?" ”

Ghost Shuo replied: "There should be no vents, otherwise the murals here and this pool of sulfuric acid would not be so well preserved, but there must be a design here that compresses the flow of gases, otherwise there would be no such sound, but what it is, I can't tell for a while." ”

Wang Daling continued to ask: "Ah ghost, you said that the underground sound we heard in the courtyard just now, could it be this?" ”

Ghost Shuo frowned and replied in a low voice, "Maybe." ”

Wang Daling turned his head to look at the floor and scolded: "What's the matter with this immoral chain cover?" Why was it that we were fine when we came in, but now we suddenly become so tricky! ”

Oni Shuo gasped and said, "The direction of the floor flip should depend on the position of the fulcrum below, when you come in unharmed, and when you return, without the slightest warning, you will definitely stumble and fall." Luckily for that flashlight... I really didn't expect our ancestors to have such wisdom! ”

"Forget it, ghost, don't worry about it here, let's hurry up and think about how to get through this sulfuric acid pool."

Ghost Shuo was stunned, looked at Wang Daling and asked, "There are dangers here, I don't know what dangers are in front of us, do we really want to continue walking inside?" ”

Wang Daling didn't expect that the always bold ghost Shuo would start to hesitate, but after hesitating for a while, he still replied: "It's all here, don't you want to completely understand this place?" Besides, I also discovered through what happened just now, we both have a big life, and we will never die! Let's go! ”

The corners of Ghost Shuo's mouth suddenly raised, and he smiled: "I didn't expect you to be bold!" ”

Even Wang Daling had the courage, and how could the ghost Shuo have a reason to retreat, so as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the side of the sulfuric acid pool, observed left and right, and then supported the wall according to the previous plan, and began to slowly climb towards the end of the sulfuric acid pool.

The sulfuric acid was more than a meter high from the two of them, and when they passed face down, the sour smell was particularly heavy, and the tears kept rolling in their eyes, and they climbed a section, and the large sweat of the two of them kept beginning to fall, but I didn't expect that this was indeed a physical work, and it couldn't be completed without a certain amount of training, but fortunately, it was getting closer and closer to the opposite side after a while.

Ghost Shuo gasped and fell to the ground first, Wang Daling followed, and the hands of the two were almost so sore that they couldn't lift them, but as soon as Wang Daling landed, he heard a muffled sound of "click" before he could catch his breath, and the bricks under the feet of the two sank downward.

The hearts of the two of them were cold, and an ominous premonition spread throughout their bodies in an instant, and Wang Daling asked in a trembling voice: "Ah... Hell, we're not going to trigger some mechanism, are we? ”

Ghost Shuo frowned, and scolded in his mouth: "This broken mechanism, it's okay to stand up alone, and the two of them will be triggered!" This must be designed for tomb robbers, and it will trigger when you return here with the contents and exceed the predetermined weight! ”

"Ah... Ahh Now is not the time for popular science, what should we do? Wang Daling asked in a trembling voice, but after he finished speaking, he didn't see any movement around him for a while, Wang Daling smiled: "Do you think we are lucky, this organ is in disrepair and out of order?" ”

As he was talking, he only heard a loud "click"! The walls on both sides of the sulfuric acid pond began to slowly close to the middle. "Count me down, it turns out that this is a mechanism to close the secret passage." Wang Daling shouted loudly.

It happened so suddenly, once the walls merged, it would be considered to cut off the way back for the two of them, and if there was no exit from the secret passage, the two of them might be trapped alive! But fortunately, the speed at which the walls on both sides closed was not too fast, and now the distance between the walls on both sides was closer, so if you jumped up and kicked the walls on both sides quickly, you should have time to run back, and it was not difficult to do it with the skills of the two of them.

But at this moment, the two of them didn't make the slightest movement, and watched the walls on both sides gradually close... Finally, with a "click", the walls on both sides were tightly closed.

"Ah... Ahh I would like to ask a question. ”

"You ask."

"Why didn't we just run back?"

"I... I also wanted to ask. ”

"We ... Are you trapped? ”

"Maybe... Right! ”

"Hell! When is it, you still have the heart to joke! Wang Da Ling was angry.

"Didn't you say you want to move on?"

"But what if there's no way ahead?"

"Look for it, maybe... There will be. ”

Wang Daling was about to continue the attack, but Ghost Shuo grabbed his arm and persuaded: "Quickly find a way to find an exit, don't waste your strength and quarrel!" "Ghost Shuo didn't say it, but he knew in his heart that if he ventured back just now, if there was any mechanism on the closed wall, it would be a high probability of falling into the sulfuric acid pool, rather than taking such a risk, it was better to stay and try to move forward, compared to the two, or the latter had a higher safety factor, so he didn't react, and at the last moment, this may be the best judgment he made.

Although Wang Daling had resentment in his heart, he also knew that the matter had come to this point, so instead of being entangled, it was better to think of a way and simply not say a word. Ghost Shuo shone around with a flashlight, the space here is not large, the length and width are not more than ten meters, and the height is not more than three meters, in front of him is a stone wall painted with troops, but these paintings are a little strange at close range, the proportions of the characters in the painting are extremely asymmetrical, but from a distance it is solemn, solemn, and uniform, Ghost Shuo's inference just now is correct, this is exactly the illusion painting, he can't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancestors in his heart.

The two searched around with flashlights, but the place was empty, and nothing was found, and the two finally returned to the mural, and the ghost said in a low voice: "The secret should still be in this mural!" ”

"Oh! Ahh Wang Daling suddenly laughed loudly, this time it was a big surprise to the ghost, Wang Daling pointed to the mural and continued: "Look, these people's figures are extremely weird, it must be the wrong position of the map!" As long as you put the diagram correctly, you will definitely be able to break the mechanism! If I'm not mistaken, there must be a gap in this stone wall, just like the ancient well wall outside just now! Wang Daling searched back and forth on the stone wall as he spoke, but he didn't find the gap he said after several trips back and forth.

Seeing Wang Daling tossing back and forth, Ghost Shuo couldn't help but say helplessly: "Daling, it's not me who spoils your interest!" I just said.,It's a hallucinatory painting.,The distortion of the figure's body shape is deliberately drawn.,It should.。。。 Not what you think! ”

Wang Daling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, I'll just say, how can the same way be used twice!" No hurry, no hurry! I'll find the flaw in no time! Look at me this time! As he spoke, he searched back and forth in front of the mural, but he never found a reason.

Ghost Shuo couldn't help it, and finally pointed to the mural with his hand and asked, "Great Spirit, haven't you noticed that there are not many soldiers on the left and right sides of this great general when you go back and forth like this?" ”

"Oh? Is it? After hearing this, Wang Daling hurriedly took a few steps back, counted carefully from left to right, and after counting a few times, he finally replied affirmatively: "Ah ghost, it seems that there is really one missing on the right!" But what does that mean? Wang Daling said as he walked to the right. Could it be that if you add me to the left and right, the left and right will be symmetrical, and this mechanism will be lifted? With that, he leaned heavily on the wall where there was no one with his body!

"Boom" with a muffled sound! The huge movement from the top really startled the two, but unexpectedly it was not that the mechanism was lifted, but that the stone wall at the top actually began to slowly press down, seeing that the hole was pressed lower and lower, according to the situation, I am afraid that in less than a minute, the two of them will be flattened by the boulder falling from the top!

Ghost Shuo scolded sharply: "Why are you reckless in what you do? ”

Wang Daling was also greatly frightened when he saw this, and responded anxiously: "This... It's a good move! ”

"But this is a move that will kill the two of us!" Ghost Shuo looked at the gradually sinking stone top, and couldn't help but panic in his heart, but now there was no time to argue with Wang Daling, he hurriedly searched around with a flashlight, if there was no way, I am afraid that he would really have to explain here!

At the moment when Ghost Shuo hurriedly swept over the mural with a flashlight, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, it turned out that this was where the mechanism was, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and then he jumped and leaned heavily on one of the soldiers with his body! The stone wall suddenly sank a little, and at the same time, there was a loud "click", and the boulder falling from the top came to an abrupt end!

Wang Daling heard that there was no movement on the top, so he quickly opened his eyes, looked around, and then laughed: "Ghost! Yours is it! It seems that Lord Yama doesn't want to accept the two of us for the time being! Tell me what's going on? ”

Ghost Shuo's forehead couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, just now it was a narrow escape, but fortunately let him bet right, he couldn't help but sigh with relief, pointed to the mural and said: "This general has a total of seven soldiers on the left and right, plus you have a total of eight positions!" It just corresponds to the position of the eight doors in the opening, rest, and life for the three Ji gates, Du Gate, and Jingmen Zhongping, and death, shock, and injury are the positions of the three murder doors, and you hit the door of death, and I bet on the door of life! ”

"Hell! Yours is true, but ... How did you know that this mural was designed according to the location of the eight Taoist gates? ”

Ghost Shuo sighed: "Don't you really remember that there is a Taoist priest sitting on the mural in the hall?" But... Thank you for reminding me that wall traps can be knocked down! ”
