Kiko and I looked at each other and didn't speak, now the situation is already obvious, the iron ball in the hole is the mechanism to activate the secret door, but you can only choose one between push and pull, choose the wrong one, the blade in the groove near the hole will pop out, I don't know how fast the blade pops out, but it definitely can't be pulled out until the arm is cut off.

After a short silence, Kiko took a deep breath and looked at me and smiled, "Come on, my luck has always been good, and our corpse chasers are different from your feng shui masters, even if we have less hands, it won't make much of a difference." ”

After saying that, Kiko was about to stretch her hand into the hole, but I took her hand and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not here yet." ”

"What do you mean?" Kiko was a little dazed, and I pulled out a peachwood sword from my bag and smiled, "I don't know whether to push or pull, but at least I can try one of them." ”

Kiko reacted at this time, moved a few steps to the side to leave room for me to move, I tried to poke the peachwood sword into the hole a little bit, and soon the tip of the sword touched the iron ball, but the tip of the sword could not be focused on the iron ball at all, I tried a few times and it would slide away instantly, so I had to draw out the peachwood sword first, cut off the tip of the sword to make a plane, and cut a piece of cloth from the clothes and tied it to increase friction.

When I cut off the tip of the sword, I was distressed, this peachwood sword was left by my grandfather, although it is not a top-notch material, but it is something that his old man has used for a lifetime, if my grandfather knows that I broke the sword, a stinking scold will definitely be inevitable!

But anyway, it was important to be able to keep my hand now, and after transforming the peachwood sword, I tried again to use the cloth-wrapped sword spire to top the iron ball, although it was still a little slippery, but it was much better than before.

Slowly trying to find a point where I could exert my strength, I turned my head and told Kiko to retreat into the distance first, and then according to the method taught by my grandfather, I concentrated the strength of my whole body in one place, and stabbed it out with a muffled cry!

Ka! Zheng!

The sound of the mechanism activating and the blade coming out of the sheath sounded almost at the same time, I couldn't even see what the blade looked like, the peachwood sword in my hand was only half cut off, and I couldn't help but be afraid for a while when I saw the smooth section like a mirror, if I really put my hand in it just now, it is estimated that it will be Yang Guo now!

In an instant, I broke out in a cold sweat on my back, and Kiko walked back with a look of fear, patted his heart and whispered: "Fortunately, you came up with this solution, now you just need to pull the iron ball out, right?" ”

I wanted to nod, but I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart, shook my head and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”

As I spoke, I took out my knife again, cut a groove on each side of the remaining half of the sword, and then tore off the strip of cloth from my clothes and tied it into a rope snar, and put it on the groove, and then carefully poked in to cover the iron ball with the rope loop.

If I had changed to an ordinary peachwood sword, I would definitely not have had this chance, but my grandfather left this one in the style of a three-foot Qingfeng, plus the hilt is more than a meter long, and the depth of this hole is only about half a meter, so even if the sword body is cut in half, the rest of the part can still allow me to complete this experiment.

At the moment, after the rope was encased in the iron ball, I turned the hilt of the sword to wrap the strip of cloth a few times to prevent it from slipping, and then held the end of the hilt with both hands, and tried to make sure that it would not take off, first let Kiko retreat, and then struggled to take a big step back like a warrior ready to draw a sword in the sword!

Ka! Zheng! Good web

Two more soft sounds came out at the same time, and the strength in my hand was empty, and I stumbled three steps and sat on the ground, looking at the peachwood sword with only a hilt left in my hand, and the feeling in my heart was called a complicated!

It's a real dilemma, Kiko

Obviously, he couldn't react a little, and he was stunned for half a minute before he said: "How can this be!" ”

Of course, I have the same question.,This iron ball should be the mechanism to activate the secret door.,And the only way to start is to push or pull.,But the reality is that no matter whether you push or pull, it will cause the blade to pop out.,It's clear that you want me to leave half an arm here.,In this case, why do you have so many bells and whistles? Just write a sign that says "Those who want to enter need to break their arms" and hang it outside?

Depressed and devastated, I once again had the idea of tearing down the wall, but I also knew that this method was not realistic, so I rubbed my face to calm down, but as soon as my hand touched my face, I smelled a faint smell.

This smell is very familiar, but because it is so familiar, I can't remember where I smelled it for a while, so I hurriedly stretched out my hand to Kiko and said, "Quick! You ask me what it smells like on my hands? ”

Kiko looked disgusted: "When are you still pranking?" Don't think I didn't see it, you must have picked your feet just now! ”

"I didn't!" I pleaded out loud, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, I hadn't touched anything strange with my hands just now, so where did this smell come from?

After pondering for a while, I looked at the mahogany hilt on the ground, which at first glance seemed to be nothing special, but there seemed to be something stained on the severed section.

I picked up the hilt of the sword and put it under the flashlight to take a closer look, and found that it was a thin layer of pale yellow liquid, at first I thought it was smeared with oil on the blade for lubrication, but then I thought about it and felt that it was wrong, and a conjecture was vaguely born in my mind, but it was like seeing it through a layer of frosted glass, just as I was wondering what it was, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor behind me!

Kiko and I looked at each other, and our first reaction was to quickly find a place to hide, but the end of this corridor is simply unobstructed, let alone Tibetans, even if there is a fly, it can't hide!

Seeing the footsteps getting closer and closer, I gritted my teeth and made a risky decision, first turned off our flashlights, then blew out the oil lamp on the wall in one go, pulled Kiko together to the nearest corner of the corridor in the dark, held my breath and waited quietly.

Although I don't know who the person who came, since the footsteps are so fast, nine out of ten are in a hurry to do something urgent, and our current position is just on the inside of the corner of the corridor, as long as we don't turn on the lights and make a sound, ordinary people will definitely not find that there are two people hiding here when passing by without knowing that there are people here.

And listening to the other party's footsteps so hurriedly, it was a bit unscrupulous, obviously very familiar with the internal structure of this ancient building, if we were lucky, maybe we could still follow him into the secret door together!

Thinking of this, I can't help but praise my wit in my heart, I can only say that I am worthy of being able to think of such a way to get the best of both worlds in such a short period of time!

But before I could be proud, the footsteps had already come closer, I grabbed Kiko's hand and gently squeezed it twice to signal her to concentrate, and was about to see who was coming, when I saw a miserable white flashlight around the corner, and then shined straight on my face!
