Chapter 381: Above and Below Ground
The entrance was open in front of the three of them, because of He Changqing's reprimand, Zhou Xianwei maintained the previous action, and his hand was still on the instrument in the hand of one of the relief fairies.
He Changqing motioned for Wei Chi not to move, and he slowly walked to the entrance, squatted down cautiously, glanced at the probe and immediately retracted.
Wei Chiran asked, "Master, what's down there?" ”
He Changqing's hand touched the edge of the entrance: "I can't see anything, it's pitch black, but there is an unpleasant fishy smell." ”
Only then did Wei Chiran step forward: "Is this the entrance?" ”
He Changqing said: "It's not that simple, right? ”
The two looked at Zhou Xianwei together, and Zhou Xianwei was very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched it." ”
As soon as the words ended, the entrance slammed shut and the floor returned to its original state.
He Changqing got up: "You can take your hand away." ”
Zhou Xianwei carefully took his hand away, and Wei Chi noticed that the instrument he was touching was "柷", so he stepped forward and reached out to touch it again, and after this touch, the entrance opened again and appeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.
Seeing this, He Changqing said: "It's not an entrance here, it's not that cheap." ”
Wei Chiran was looking at his phone at this time: "Wait." ”
After the entrance closed again, Wei Chi raised his eyes and said, "There is a minute for the entrance to be opened and closed. ”
"One minute......" He Changqing looked at the other instruments on the relief when he heard this, "touch the other instruments and see what happens." ”
Wei Chiran reached out and touched the "Sheng" next to the "柷", and then a square-shaped hole opened on the other side, the size of the hole was exactly the same as the previous one, just enough to accommodate a person to go down.
He Changqing said: "Count the time, let's try it one by one." ”
After that, they tried to open the holes of the six musical instruments, namely the bell, the jade chime, the xun, the drum, the qin, and the flute, and found that every time they touched a different instrument, a hole of the same size would open at a different position on the floor.
All the openings were the same size, they were pitch black, and there was no movement of air, and they all smelled of rotting fish.
Wei Chiran asked, "Don't we have a probe?" Stick in with a probe and maybe you'll know what's underneath. ”
Zhou Xianwei took out the equipment from his backpack: "I'll come, I'm more familiar with this kind of equipment." ”
The equipment that Wei Chiran said belongs to the very common police special equipment today, using a short focal length ultra-wide-angle lens, the longest telescopic length can reach 5 meters, the arc of the lens is very close to the sphere, the angle of view can be close to even 180 degrees, the shooting range is relatively larger than other lenses, and it can cover more scenes. On top of that, the probe can penetrate narrow gaps into the environment to be explored, so it's more than enough to reach into a hole that can accommodate a person.
Wei Chiran casually opened a hole, and then started the timer, Zhou Xianwei put the probe under the hole as fast as possible, and He Changqing watched the screen from the side.
After the probe was lowered to a position of 3 meters from the entrance of the cave, it was clearly seen that there was something below, and after careful identification and observation, it was found that it was scattered human bones, and then there was nothing else except for the holes on both sides of the cave wall like a beehive.
"Alright, put it away." He Changqing motioned to Zhou Xianwei to put away the probe, "This is not an entrance, it should be regarded as a trap, someone has been here before, and they mistakenly thought it was an entrance, so they went directly into it, who knew that there was a dead end below, once people went down, they would be stuck there, and eventually starved to death of thirst and died of fear." ”
He Changqing and Zhou Xianwei felt a burst of fear when they heard this, if they were not cautious before, and jumped down directly, they could only be stuck in the narrow hole, calling the sky should not be, and the earth was not working.
He Changqing said again: "Let's try the other seven holes and see what is inside." ”
As before, the three of them touched the other musical instruments on the relief, opened the remaining seven holes one by one, and explored them one by one, and found that there were bones in each of the holes, indicating that in the past few hundred years, more than a group of people had come to the evil tower to try to find clues, and who knew that they were all stuck here.
Of course, there is certainly no shortage of treasure hunters among them.
Since none of the eight openings are entrances to the next level, what is the significance of the appearance of these eight openings? Is it just a trap? Wei Chiran didn't think so.
Zhou Xianwei pondered: "The old gentleman said before that the organs here are all alive, not dead, and the living organs can be opened, if they are all traps, it is not in line with the old man's analysis." ”
Wei Chiran looked at the relief on the wall and said: "I think we should start with the rhythm, since it is related to music, then there should be a sound to come out." ”
As he spoke, Wei Chi leaned close to the instrument on the relief to listen, but he couldn't hear anything, the attic on this floor was frighteningly quiet, and the three of them could almost hear each other's heartbeats if they got a little closer.
He Changqing was also puzzled, went around and around in the attic on this floor, and never found any useful clues, and then looked at the time, it was already 0 o'clock in the morning, and there were still about 6 hours before dawn, and they had to go to the bottom floor in these 6 hours, find the clues and return immediately.
It's just that they didn't expect that a natural disaster was coming......
●
In the deep pit above the Evil Suppression Tower, Sun Haoyang was still sitting staring at the entrance of the Evil Suppression Tower, and in the woods above, Wang Xiaolong and his five subordinates were too bored and worried about falling asleep, so they could only sit there eating, drinking coffee and chatting.
Although they wanted to drink very much, Sun Haoyang strictly forbade drinking, promising that they could drink whatever they wanted after the deed, but they were not allowed to drink when they were doing business, and they would make a mistake.
The wind blew, and the stars that were clearly visible in the sky were also covered by dark clouds, and after the lightning and thunder, it was accompanied by the raindrops of soybeans slowly falling down.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolong immediately ran towards the pit: "Master, it's raining, let's go into the tent to hide from the rain." ”
Sun Haoyang looked up at the sky, and then at the position of the entrance: "Oh no." ”
Wang Xiaolong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Sun Haoyang said: "There will be heavy rain, and the water will flow directly into the tower, if I remember correctly, there are drainage equipment at the bottom of the tower, and if they rush to the bottom layer as soon as possible, they will be drowned alive." ”
Wang Xiaolong asked, "What should I do then?" Master, it's okay if they drown, if they drown, won't it save trouble if we go down again? ”
Sun Haoyang glared at Wang Xiaolong angrily: "Are you stupid?" I don't know how many floors they have reached now, but once the tower is flooded, we have to go down, we have to dive, we have to find their bodies, and we have to find the porcelain box, which is far more dangerous than now. ”
Wang Xiaolong hurriedly nodded: "Then what should I do, why don't we block this place?" ”
Sun Haoyang pondered for a moment and said, "No, we don't have the obligation to help them, this rainstorm is God's test for them." ”
The moment Sun Haoyang finished speaking, a lightning bolt flashed, Wang Xiaolong looked at Sun Haoyang with a hint of evil smile on his face, and quickly smiled as well, but Wang Xiaolong's smile seemed to beg for mercy.
Wang Xiaolong and his subordinates, although they look extremely fierce on weekdays, but in fact, they are a group of lords who bully the weak and fear the hard, it doesn't matter if they make a small fuss, if they really want them to take people's lives, they will never be able to do it. Before, Wang Xiaolong suggested that it would be better to let the torrential rain flow in and drown Wei Chiran and the others, just because it was a natural disaster, not his hand, but when he saw the smile on Sun Haoyang's face, he suddenly understood that the so-called master he worshipped was not the Confucian businessman he knew on weekdays, and he was definitely not a righteous person who slay demons and eliminate demons.
"Ahh
When Sun Haoyang heard this, he raised his head suddenly, and at the same time stopped Wang Xiaolong from stepping forward, just asking, "What's wrong?" ”
At this time, the torrential rain had already poured down, and Sun Haoyang and Wang Xiaolong, who were standing in the rain, had already been drenched, and their vision was also blocked, not to mention that Sun Haoyang's call had been covered by the sound of thunder and heavy rain, and the people above couldn't hear his voice at all, and he didn't know what was going on above.
Wang Xiaolong was worried that something would happen and wanted to go up to check, but he found that Sun Haoyang, who was close at hand, had a solemn face, so he asked, "Master?" ”
After a while, Sun Haoyang said, "Follow me." ”
Sun Haoyang walked slowly upwards and struggled to climb up the ramp of the big pit, while Wang Xiaolong fell several times, and finally climbed out of the deep pit with Sun Haoyang and came to the two tents, only to find that there was no one outside the tents.
Sun Haoyang saw that there was light in the tent, touched the soft sword he was wearing on his waist, and then raised his hand to open the curtain door of the tent, and found that Wang Xiaolong's four subordinates were cowering in horror in the tent, still holding a flashlight in their hands.
Wang Xiaolong, who didn't know why, asked sharply: "What the hell are you called?" Hit the ghost? ”
The four subordinates nodded slowly, and when Wang Xiaolong was about to ask a question, Sun Haoyang immediately asked, "What about another person?" ”
The four of them just shook their heads, and one of them replied tremblingly: "I went to pee, no, I didn't come back......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lightning swept across again, and a tall figure appeared on the side of the tent, at least two people tall, Wang Xiaolong looked stupid and stunned in place.
Sun Haoyang immediately turned around and walked out of the tent and came to the outside of the tent, but found nothing.
Sun Haoyang returned to the tent and asked, "Where did he go to relieve himself?" ”
One of his men pointed to the woods and said, "It's in the woods." ”
Sun Haoyang told Wang Xiaolong: "You all stay in the tent and don't come out, no matter what you hear or see, don't come out." ”
Wang Xiaolong and the remaining four subordinates nodded vigorously, watching Sun Haoyang leave and disappear into the rain and mist.
After Sun Haoyang left the tent, he walked towards the woods, and after walking for a while, he saw a black shadow floating in the air under the tree in front of him.
If he had changed to someone else, I am afraid that his scalp would have exploded, but Sun Haoyang just sneered and walked calmly towards the black shadow, and at the moment when he was about to walk, the black shadow flew upwards violently, and then disappeared.
Sun Haoyang stood under the tree and said loudly: "This kind of trick is useless to me, you should know, so why bother?" It's better to come out and do it with real knives and guns. ”
Except for the sound of thunder and torrential rain lapping on the leaves, Sun Haoyang could not hear anything.
