Chapter 17 Jumping into the ruins of the brick valley
Because I have night blindness, when the guy said it, I was still looking for what he said, and I looked straight to the other side, and it was pitch black, and I didn't see anything at all.
Until all the flashlights on our side have hit.
I could see that there was a very high cliff opposite us where we were standing, and on top of that cliff I wanted someone to stand there and watch us from above.
"Who are you! What people! Lao Jiu shouted there, probably thinking of being teased in the Tibetan Mountain Gorge before, Lao Jiu didn't get angry, and without waiting for the other party to reply, he spit out a series of words that were not very intimidating.
But the man didn't move, just stood there like a statue.
There was a flashlight moving from the cliff to the bottom, and when we saw it clearly, we were dumbfounded!
There is a pair of tall stone pillars on both sides of the road opposite us, there seems to be some pattern carved on it, the height of this pillar is as high as a cliff, there is a huge carving in the middle of the stone pillar, placed just above the top of the cave over there, because it is too far away we can't see what is carved on it, and look at the stone pillar inside the pitch black, but vaguely feel that there is something!
It's like a stone arch, huge and majestic!
Have we already found this rumored tomb in the mountains?
I'm still a little apprehensive in my heart! After all, this is my first time on the ground!
So lucky! I thought so.
But the person on the opposite cliff doesn't know if he has a weapon, and he doesn't know if he is catching up with the mountain patrol, after all, those perennial mountain patrols should know the terrain here well, thinking of this I suddenly had an idea!
In fact, I am ashamed to say that I should have thought that according to the ability of a few of us, if we managed to catch a mountain patrolman, it is estimated that we would have escaped from here long ago, but because I was too panicked, I didn't think of this at the time.
"We can catch him first and let him lead the way and take us out! He must be familiar with this place if he can get there! I said to Lao Jiu.
"Run out......" Lao Jiu glanced at the people on the cliff, and said with a gloomy tone on the corner of his mouth: "It's all here, it's better to find something to bring back!" With that, he gave the guy next to him a look.
The fellow grinded his fists, laughed, turned and pulled the stick out of his bag, and then shouted at the other two men to get ready to catch up with the wall.
The guy lunged over, stepped on the ground with his front foot and didn't wait for it to be settled, and then all of a sudden, we saw him lose his center of gravity and fall!
Just by Lao Jiu's side, Lao Jiu didn't react at all, who would have thought that there was a mystery under the neat blue bricks laid in front!
The man panicked, and his hands flew wildly, but he didn't grasp the cliff on our side, and with a long howl, there was no shadow in an instant!
A few of us froze in place, staring blankly at the empty canyon below, unable to speak for a while.
The brick floor is empty underneath! The guy stepped on it and directly stepped on two rows of bricks, the bricks were visually inspected, one could be about a meter, square, looking at the brick layer from here, thin.
It's a big empty brick layer!
I don't know who is in front of the Dragon Tower Treasure Hall, it is so viciously arranged, I think back in my mind, think about all the ancient books and historical materials I have read, and I have not come up with a record of empty bricks.
I crouched down and carefully observed the empty brick layer on the edge of the cliff, but it was too dark to see under the brick layer.
I asked Lao Jiu to borrow a flashlight, he was still indulged in the moment just now and did not come out, I saw that he did not react, and I was too lazy to take care of it, I used the flashlight to shine on the brick layer two meters away, I found that there seemed to be something moving under the brick.
It's a bit far away and can't be seen.
Yan Liang also squatted down and asked me what I was looking at, I pointed to the faintly moving thing and said to him, "Look, there seems to be something there!" After hearing this, Yan Liang lay on the ground and asked me to use a flashlight to help him shine it, and after a while, he told me that there seemed to be something to support under the brick layer in the distance.
I wondered if it was not all empty bricks, and there may have been some places that supported part of the brick layer to form a field, and in order to prevent tomb robbers, a brick ruin was built here, and if the survey was not done properly, it would fall into the brick ruins and shatter your bones.
But for the brick ruins, there are records in the ancient books: on the top of the canyon, between the two mountains, there is a pillar of heaven, and there is flat ground on the pillar of heaven, and there is soft soil on the flat ground, which can be used for infrastructure construction.
According to the book, the vaguely visible thing must be the pillar of the sky, and the brick layer is based on the flat ground on the pillar of heaven, spreading bricks to both sides, and the bricks on the pillar are solid, but the bricks that spread out are not known to use some subtle way to build them on the valley ruins, but they are actually built in the air.
The bricks built in the air were brittle and light, and they would crack when you stepped on them, and the surrounding bricks would also crumble and scatter as a result.
So when the guy fell, he drove another row of bricks, causing both rows of bricks to crack and fall into the valley ruins below.
It's a hell of a thing!
I squatted there and studied it, but at the same time I was thinking about a question: the craftsmen who built the empty brick layer did not say what year and where they came from, but said that when they built the empty brick layer, the whole person must have been volleyed into the valley ruins, so how did they complete such a project.
Because the bricks of the empty layer of bricks were thin and brittle, what did they rely on to support them to carry them to work between the valleys?
It seems that you have to go down to the pillar of heaven to find the truth!
When I was a child, I was influenced by Uncle Gu, and I always had a desire to explore unknown things, and I also had a great interest in the mechanisms in the tomb.
Although Uncle Gu is not a literati and ink writer, there is a full shelf of reading materials about the mechanism at home, and I have been familiar with these reading materials since I was a child.
So I didn't think that there were empty brick traps at first, but when I thought about the history of brick ruins, I really didn't see it.
Of course, there will always be a difference between theory and practice, and you will never be able to figure it out if you don't go on.
I turned to look at the few masters standing next to me, and then shook my head.
None of these people are good at taking this kind of dangerous road, and I am the only one here who has the ability.
The things that Uncle Gu taught me, I never thought that one day they would come in handy, although I never really tried it, but my basic skills are still there.
I bent down, straightened my legs, and moved my wrists.
"Huh? What are you doing here, little Anye? Liu Erhe looked at me and was stunned: "You have no tricks, and you plan to dance for us?" ”
I ignored him, turned around and borrowed the flying tiger claw from Lao Jiu's buddy, wrapped one end around my waist and handed it to Liu Erhe.
"I'll take a look at the doorway, make a road, and my brothers will stop me!"
Lao Jiu was still reminiscing just now, and when he turned his head and heard that I was going down to have a look, he asked me in a dumb voice: "You want to go down like a bear, you are like this, do you want to go down as cannon fodder?" ”
I sneered in my heart, this grandson is now pretending to be a good person again, he is afraid that there will be no one to use him as cannon fodder when the time comes!
"It's okay, Ninth Master, this kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall can be regarded as having learned a few times from my Uncle Gu, and I have to stand up and explore the way personally, now that Uncle Gu is not here, who can go down?" I spoke to Lao Jiu in a provocative tone, and when I saw him muffled to the side, I changed my words.
"I have to be fortunate to take care of you, knowing that I was injured, I have been blessed along the way, much better, and now it is time for me Qin Huaian to repay the big guy, we can't just look at it from afar, and we can't climb into the black coffin if we go back."
As I spoke, I pulled the rope around my waist.
I saw that Liu Erhe seemed to have something to say to me, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time and he didn't say it.
"If something is wrong, if something really happens to me, don't you still have a rope in your hand! When the time comes, I will have to take my little life in your hands! I patted Liu Erhe's face, smiled at Yan Liang, and walked behind them.
My idea is: the five of them lined up in two columns, Liu Erhe and Lao Jiu, a sturdy guy, stood on the edge of the cliff at the front, then Yan Liang Lao Jiu, and finally another guy. I ran between them, and then when I was on the edge of the cliff, I jumped out hard, and at the same time Liu Erhe and Brother Zhuang pushed me out, at this time the other three people had already held part of the rope in their mouths, and when I flew out completely, Liu Erhe and Brother Zhuang also grabbed the rope, so as to prevent me from flying out with the rope tied, and if I couldn't fly well, I fell directly into the valley ruins.
After the plan was made, we each nodded, I had judged that the solid place was about five or six meters away from us, not far away, not close, but it was not easy to jump with all our strength at the limit of the human body.
What Liu Erhe and Brother Zhuang had to do was to push me to a high place with all their might, while I had to use the strength of my own leap to jump on the ground bricks, use a climbing pickaxe to smash a fixed point on the ground bricks, fix the rope and let them climb along the rope one by one.
I took two steps back, gesturing to see the two of them nodding in response, I gritted my teeth, endured the sharp pain, and sprinted with all my might.
When I ran to the edge of the cliff, their hands pressed hard against my back and waist, and I flew out like an arrow from a string.
I looked at my feet, where the guy had fallen into the ruins.
Looking ahead, I felt the wind whirring around me.
I was about to step on the green bricks on the ground, but my whole body suddenly stopped in the air, and then I fell down heavily!
Oops! The rope is not long enough!
