Chapter 17 The Stone Gate of the Organ

Pei smiled bitterly.

"I hear you complain about food every day, and it's good to have food like ours." As he spoke, he got up to pick up the branches and fallen leaves around him.

"Who?"

Li Wen carried a sports bag on his back and stood in front of the platform, constantly glancing at the man next to him.

The travel bag on the man's back was three times the size of Zhanxing, like a famous traveler, but compared with outdoor activities, it seemed to have a little more temperament.

He was wearing a military jacket, cross-country trousers, and military boots, and his eyes were blank and motionless.

He wears a pair of open-finger gloves on his hands, his thumb carelessly tugs into his trouser pockets, and his ring finger hooked with his little finger to show the middle finger just right.

It's as if he's standing here to show them and enjoy being seen.

Li Wen couldn't help it, and took the initiative to talk: "Hey! Friend! Hello! ”

The man rolled his eyes and ignored Li Wen.

Li Wen asked again, "Where are you going?" Shall we be a companion? ”

The man's expression was still too lazy to pay, and Li Wen cautiously approached half a step, and then half a step closer. He found a cyan jade pendant on the man's waist, where the key was fastened.

Li Wen: "!!! ”

Man: "? ”

Li Wen: "This, this, this...... It's ......"

"You're coming"

Uncle Zhao was a little thoughtful, and then he looked at us, "This is our helper this time." ”

As we waited for him to say the next word, the air fell silent. Gone? I don't tell me what his name is.

"Let's get started."

The man asked Pei to find a candle to light it, and then entered the open area.

Pei followed with a lit candle and found it dim.

As soon as he put the candle on the stone, the man took the black box and placed it fifty centimeters away from the candle, and then held the green jade between two wooden strips.

I bake the patterned side by moving it back and forth by candlelight.

Pei saw that as soon as Qingyu encountered fire, a thin film seemed to dissolve on it, making it more transparent, like a piece of clear ice, and he also smelled a strange fragrance between his noses.

He didn't know if it was the illusion caused by the fire or the film, but he seemed to see the pattern on the jade come to life and was wandering through.

At this time, the man was seen to remove the jade block, and then stand on the side of the candlelight.

I saw a dark blue shadow cast from the candlelight onto the stone, and the circular pattern on the jade was enlarged and cast into the center of the black box lid.

Then I heard a click, and the black box that was originally not moving automatically changed its appearance in a few clicks, like a robot that automatically disintegrated, and finally disassembled on six sides and combined into a square slab.

Everyone was amazed, and now thinking back on the man's series of actions, they can basically guess it.

Presumably, that piece of jade is the key to unlocking the secret of the black box, and the pattern on it changes shape through fire to become a key to unlock the original form of the black box.

At this moment, we have to change the technology and wisdom of the inventor, what is such a technology, thermal induction?

The man had already put down the green jade, and was picking up a piece of wet rice paper and spreading it on the top of the blackboard, and then gently brushed it with a small brush.

I can see that he is rubbing, but is there something rubbing on the slate? When he had observed the black box before, it was smooth on all sides.

He picked up the piece of jade, and I noticed that the chaotic lines in the jade were gone!

After more than half an hour, the man finished rubbing and carefully removed the rice paper.

I leaned over and looked at it, and it turned out to be a map.

I was surprised to reach out and touch the black stone, and there were really some yin and yang carvings on the surface.

"What is this? Maps? ”

The man snorted and said, "Diagram of the position of the mechanism in the tomb." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Tomb?" The one we're going to? ”

Gu Yi said lightly, "Yes and no." The tomb has three layers, the bottom layer is the sealing place, not the tomb, the rest is newly built, divided into the top layer and the middle layer, the top layer is virtual, the middle layer is real, and it is in the trap array. ”

"A tomb within a tomb?" I tilted my head, my eyes widened in surprise, "That means the top floor we first entered was a virtual one, and the lower layer was a trap array, and the third floor was where you were?" ”

He was so colorful that he fell straight from one to three floors.

"Hmm." The man answered, slowly rolling up the map.

I looked at the rolled up map, and it was obvious that the other party was planning to "enter the palace for the second time".

Uncle Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go with you, wait first, we will prepare something." ”

The last time he was forced to enter the family tomb in desperation, it was an eye-opener inside, and he admitted that he was starting to be curious about something.

The man nodded, "Hurry up." ”

"Got it."

Uncle Zhao was afraid that he would be impatient to wait, so he simply prepared.

Could it be that from the beginning, Uncle Zhao actually wanted the man to go to the grave?

Uncle Zhao waved at me and asked Pei and me to prepare.

In fact, I didn't know what to prepare, so according to my experience last time, I prepared some water, food, fire, ropes, knives, flashlights, medicine kits, and so on.

We chose to travel at nightfall.

Tourists leave early, and there are fewer people.

"How do we get in?"

Looking at me, the man said leisurely, "Fly in, how else can you get in." ”

"Follow me."

After walking around for a while, I really came to a thief cave.

After entering the cave, the man followed the map to find his way.

Along the way, he did encounter a number of mechanisms, but the man seemed to be familiar with them, and easily dismantled or untied them without seeing how he managed them.

I was depressed and unlucky before, and I didn't fall to the second floor but fell to the third floor, but now I'm glad that I didn't fall to the second floor at that time, otherwise I'm afraid ten lives will be enough.

"You're good at it too?" The itinerary was a little silent and boring, and I kept watching the man skillfully unravel one mechanism after another, and I couldn't help but ask.

"I know a little bit about it." The man said lightly.

I raised my eyebrows, thinking to myself that this is a little bit of knowledge, is this modesty, or modesty.

As he was about to slander, he heard a click, followed by a rumbling sound.

When I looked up, I saw the man slowly retreat with his hands off the wall.

At this time, the clods of soil on the originally flat earthen wall are automatically peeling off layer by layer, revealing the dark brown inside, and you can vaguely see what is turning, a bit like a gear.

When all the soil clods are peeled off, the style of Shimen is completely revealed.

It was actually a stone door about four meters high and two meters wide, with many overlapping gears on the door, and a rudder wheel in the middle.

The entire stone door, including the gears, is carved with many intricate patterns.

At this moment, as all the gears operate with each other, those patterns are constantly changing, and if you carefully distinguish them, you can vaguely see that they seem to be some symbols, which should still be oracle bone characters.

Although I have already experienced the extraordinary of many ancient institutions, I have to admire it again this time.

It is estimated that the text formed by the combination of those patterns is the decoding of the mechanism.

When the gears finally stopped, the man stepped forward again, holding the turntable with both hands, left, right, and right, seemingly turning irregularly at all, but every time he stopped, he could hear a click.
