The Upper Army of the West Pole Chapter 13 All the way down
"Jing Kejun, are you guys?" Behind the statue there was a strong Henan accent. As he spoke, Chaoyangjun had already come out from behind the statue. At this moment, Chaoyangjun's hair was scattered, his glasses were torn, he was covered in dust, and his clothes were cut several times, as if he had just escaped from 1942.
"It's me! You are a baby on your back, and a few of you were almost killed in order to find you! "My tears were already in my eyes, almost pouring out. Although his mouth is not forgiving, the big stone in his heart has already landed. I led Chaoyangjun to sit down and asked him where he had gone. Chaoyangjun leaned on the side of the statue tiredly, took the water handed by the mouse and drank it all. It took a while to tell the story. It turned out that when I proposed to sing, Chaoyangjun was sitting not far from me. Listening to us singing and coaxing, he thought about getting up and approaching us. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, he felt that his back was empty, and before he could make a sound, he had already fallen into the dark passage, and finally fell into a secret room below.
"Where's the secret room?" Before Chaoyangjun finished speaking, Lao Long had already preemptively asked a question. Reluctantly, Chaoyangjun moved to the side, and a dark hole appeared behind him, enough for an adult man to pass upright. Chaoyang Jun said that the secret room should be under the underground palace, and according to his judgment, the secret room is where the organs of the underground palace are controlled.
"How do you know?" There was already a trace of uneasiness in my heart, but I still asked Chaoyangjun with a mouthful of words. Chaoyangjun's answer was indeed not the slightest deviation from my guess - there were some levers or copper rings in the secret room, and Chaoyangjun concluded that those were the mechanisms that opened the passage, so he experimented one by one, and finally let him open the door of the secret room. Sure enough, what we encountered in the dungeon just now was all from Chaoyangjun's handwriting. After listening to Chaoyangjun's description with my fists clenched, it was really difficult to suppress the anger in my chest, and I wanted to slap it to death...... Forget it, thank you Chaoyangjun for not killing!
When he came, the thief cave had sunk below the dungeon, and now it was not very convenient for Chaoyangjun to move, and the only way was to go to the secret room to see if he could restore the dungeon to its original state. As long as the cave can be restored, we can get out of this damn place. After thinking about it, I asked the old dragon to help Chaoyangjun down from the passage behind the statue to the secret room.
The secret room is about ten square meters, and it is a little cramped to squeeze four people into it at once. On one wall, several copper levers and tabs are inserted diagonally, giving the impression that you are in the control room of a workshop. The old dragon was amazed when he saw this, and bluntly said that he did not believe that such an institution could be created in ancient times. I laugh at the old dragon for losing his knowledge, and there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen and obscene ingenuity in the Chinese sages. Thinking that the carpenter's grandfather, Lu Ban, is good at making all kinds of machinery, and Mo Zhai, the giant of the Mo family, is also an expert in offensive and defensive equipment. It is not difficult to find that the achievements of the Chinese ancestors in machinery were not only leading the world at that time, but also difficult for us in the 21st century to match. Looking at the controller in front of him, and then thinking of the mechanism operating in the underground palace, he really wants to bow down to the ancestors.
Knowing the lessons of the past, we tried not to touch the mechanism on the wall, but just looked around for clues - this control room must have an instruction manual or an operating manual or something. After searching for a long time, I definitely didn't find the manual, but I still found something - there were many cigarette butts scattered on the ground, and a thief hole was found in the corner of the wall behind me. The old dragon snorted his cigarette and said angrily, "What does this mean?" Are you sure those thieves came down to rob the grave? I didn't see anything all night, but I saw the cubs digging holes. ”
What do you mean? I'm anxious about the old dragon's IQ, and the fact that the tomb robbers can dig the hole here shows that they understand the situation here and can successfully find a suitable place to dig the hole. They robbed three caves in quick succession, just to get deeper into the mountains—they knew there was something they needed. But I don't plan to continue, the top priority now is how to restore the underground palace. I asked Chaoyangjun which organ could restore the dungeon, and Chaoyangjun said that he was very nervous at the time, and he didn't know how to open the door of the control room, and he still knew which devices these organs controlled.
Reasonable! Looks like we'll have to experiment one by one. I pulled the lever on the left and heard a muffled sound from above. The mouse hurriedly went up to check it out, and came back to tell me that all the weapons of the idol above had been smashed to the ground - this was not. I then pulled down a few more, but I didn't see the dungeon move, and I was already tired and sweating. The old dragon walked up to me proudly, patted his not-so-strong breast, and motioned for me to go away. Since someone is willing to contribute, I would love to enjoy the performance of the old dragon. The old dragon laughed at me while holding the lever and said, "Mr. Liao still plays a game of tomb robbery with a hammer on your body." As he spoke, he proudly moved the lever in his hand downward.
"Boom!" This sound was heard so vividly that the entire control room trembled. When he looked at the sound, a thick iron door had already cut off the passage of the secret room, leaving only the four people who could not do anything inside in stunned...... Nima! You don't have a brain, and you play a hammer tomb robbery game!
Seeing this scene, the old dragon almost cried and said to me, "What...... How could it be...... It's going to be like this! ”
"How so? Don't mess around, we'll all have to finish the game! I was angry and grabbed the old dragon by the collar. But seeing Lao Long's innocent expression, I couldn't do anything, so I could only look up to the sky and sigh: "Let's wait for Lao Zhou to call someone to collect our corpses, if they can find us." Hearing this, the old dragon was extremely reluctant to pull the lever, hoping to open the gate, but no matter how he fiddled with the iron gate, it still did not move.
"Boom ......" As the old dragon pulled the lever up hard, all the mechanisms in the control room fell off the wall and fell to the place, it seems that the old dragon triggered the self-destruction device - you said that this ancient man is also amazing, what kind of self-destruction system does a good end of the machine - looking at the fragments of the place, the cigarette in the mouse's hand fell to the ground in shock, and he was silent for a while before squeezing out a sentence from his mouth: "The dry branches of the yellow fruit tree ......"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Planted deep!" The mouse explained weakly.
"Jing Kejun, what should we do now? Now you can't stop talking! "Chaoyangjun was really anxious, completely ignoring his exhaustion, and yelled at me with all his might. What else could I say but to watch him silently, the scene of us starving to death in the back room in my mind.
"I said Jing Ke, you can't be like this, you are our mainstay, you have to cheer up and think of a way!" The rats are anxious to start saying idioms. I reluctantly lit a cigarette and told the old dragon not to do useless work, and now this situation is a crisis I have never encountered, so I can only try to calm myself down first.
After thinking about it, we only have to wait for death and only have the thief hole in the corner to use. I propose to go through the thief hole and go down there to see if there is a way out. After all, this Baiyun Beach is very close to Lixiang River, and there may be an underground river connecting to the outside world. Chaoyang Jun immediately highlighted his objections: "Jing Kejun, we can't go any further!" We can only get farther and farther away from the ground, and it is clear that we are in the opposite direction. ”
"People move the dead and the trees move the living, and now we are here to wait for death except to go down." I deliberately raised my voice, hoping to boost everyone's morale, "Besides, as mentioned in the novel, there will be a spring under the tomb, and maybe it can lead to the underground river, and we can get out through the dark river." "I can only console myself with the underground river now.
"But what you said is in fiction, you can't take it seriously!" Chaoyangjun still disagreed.
"Now do you have any other way? I said that although fiction is an artistic process, there is always something real about it. With that, I took the lead and went into the hole.
The cave is still diagonally downward, and can only be passed through by prostrates. After crawling for a while, I came to a stone hut. I stood up and looked around in amazement, the stone house was very crudely built, and there were messy footprints on the floor except for clay pots. On top of that, someone at the other end of the stone house paved a passage down with a stone staircase.
"Where is this?" Chaoyang Jun had already drilled out of the thief hole, and looked at the clay pots all over the ground and couldn't help asking.
I ignored Chaoyang-kun and continued to observe the environment inside the stone house. On the wall on the right, I finally made a discovery—there were some paintings painted on the wall, which were no longer legible because they were old. When I got closer, I saw that the paintings on the wall were neatly arranged, more like words. I beckoned Chaoyangjun to come over and identify together: "Chaoyangjun, come and see what this is?" ”
Chaoyang Jun couldn't see why he came over: "It should be a pictograph, you see that it is relatively neat one by one." It's just not the same as what we see in the history books. As I said, the pictographs on the wall are different from the pictographs in textbooks, they appear fuller and more vivid, and from a distance they look more like vivid paintings.
"Chaoyangjun, I firmly believe that there is an ancient country deep in this mountain." I said to Chaoyangjun firmly. At this moment, I have forgotten that everyone is in deep trouble, and my mind is full of the urge to explore the mysterious realm.
"Hey! You're still in the mood for archaeology! A voice rang out from behind him, shaking people's brains in the small space. When I turned my head, it was really the old dragon. He stared at us anxiously, and I realized that we had more important things to do. I took out my phone, and it was past 4 a.m. We don't have much water on us, we are sleepy and tired, and if we don't catch up, we can only die.
I let the rat take the lead and walked down the stone steps. Even though the road is dark, you can feel the stability of the stone steps. After walking for about ten minutes, we descended to the end of the stone stairs - we were there. Here, the light of the flashlight shines five or six meters before it is swallowed by the darkness, and there is a faint sound in the unknown darkness as if someone is crying, even if it is a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth like a mouse, he can't help but be afraid, he deliberately took a few steps back to keep in line with us, and asked timidly: "Jing Ke, this should be the bottom, there will be no more way down, right?" "It's not too loud to hear the echo. I shone my flashlight around, but I couldn't see the edge except for the doorway behind me, which looked like a city gate. I thought to myself, how big is TM here!
The four of us groped our way through the darkness little by little, and the more we moved forward, the more obvious the cry in the darkness became. The old dragon stopped and said cautiously, "Let's not go forward, it's scary." "I also have the heart to stop moving forward, but when I return, we are left to sit and die. Just as we were hesitating, we heard Chaoyangjun shouting that someone was there, and we were so frightened that we hurriedly took a few steps back, and then found a stone statue standing there in the direction that Chaoyangjun pointed to.
It turned out to be a false alarm, perhaps because Chaoyangjun had poor eyesight and mistook the stone statue for a real person. I was about to comfort him when the mouse made a silent gesture and pointed his finger next to the statue. Looking at the mouse's hand, a man in a gray jacket sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at us with straight eyes, and most importantly, this person......
