Chapter 469: The Seventh Master's Decision
Wang Chuyi's words were true, I looked up at the iron chain hanging on the top of the rock crevice passage, and then looked at the rivets on the rock wall, and I always felt that there was some connection between the two.
"First year of junior high school, you look at the position of the rivets, as well as the arc of the chain, is it possible to step on the rivets while climbing the chain?"
Wang Chuyi looked up for a long time after hearing this, and finally shook his head, "No, maybe it will trigger the dual mechanism, and at that time, we won't be able to run if we want to." ”
Huzi frowned and said, "If you don't go from above, you can either climb the copper nails on the wall or step on these clay pots, and there is no other way." I said, there are only a few directions, is it possible that we can still pass through the wall? ”
Wang Chu walked forward two or three steps on one side, and then leaned forward for a distance, and when she reached the place where there were rivets, she raised her hand, gently touched the rivets with her hands, and then quickly squatted down, picked up a piece of fragment from those clay pots, and then quickly retreated.
I saw that there were many black stains on the fragments of the clay pot in Wang Chu's hand, which should be the traces left by something rotting, she put the pottery shards on the ground and said to me, "Lao Bai, step on it and try it." ”
When I stepped on it, the pottery shards immediately shattered, and the process of making this clay pot was very simple, and it was so thin that I couldn't help but step on it.
Seeing this, Huzi opened his mouth and scolded, "This is really damn amazing, this clay pot is so brittle, if you want to step on it, it's just a fantasy, and I don't plan to let people pass through this channel." ”
I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Since this rock crack passage has been built, there must be a way to do it in the past, otherwise there will be no point in the appearance of this passage, and we must not have found a way." ”
Huzi hurriedly spun in place, and said, "Damn, I still don't believe it, or I'll climb up and try, it's really not okay, you can pull me back again." ”
As he spoke, the tiger picked up the climbing rope and tied it to his waist, and he was about to climb up.
"You better save it, don't deceive yourself here, you know better than us about the doorway of the mechanism, once you encounter the mechanism, in this narrow space, you can retreat? Even if we pull you out, you'll be shot as a hedgehog, and you'll be pulled out of a corpse. Wang Chuyi crossed his hands in front of his chest and watched Huzi busy with his work.
Hearing Wang Chuyi's words, Huzi, who had just tied the mountaineering rope around his waist, was deflated, threw the mountaineering rope to the ground fiercely, and said angrily, "Then what the hell should I do now?" ”
For a while, everyone fell into silence, looking at the passage in front of them, all the mechanism settings are exposed outside, most of the corridors we walked through before hide the mechanism behind the wall, or under the ground, few of them are actively exposed, and look at the mechanism in the rock crevice passage is not complicated, but it does make people have no way, compared to the general ancient tomb in the clever mechanism design, the mechanism here is more practical and effective, and there is no flaw, this is what the master designed, It makes people feel a sense of frustration, this feeling is very uncomfortable, and it reminds me of the nine-character formula for the Yuwen family to build ancient tombs: "I can't find it, I can't open it, I can't take it away".
Isn't that the case now, all the organs can see it, but they just can't get in.
After being silent for more than ten minutes, the seventh master finally coughed and said, "It seems that you can only try that trick!" ”
As soon as the seventh master spoke, I immediately came to the spirit, how many times before the inversion of the fight, but whenever I encountered a dangerous situation, it was the seventh master who acted in time, so that we could save the day, imperceptibly, I have regarded the seventh master as a savior, as long as he spoke, the problem was basically half solved.
"What's the move?" I hurriedly asked.
The seventh master hesitated for a moment, sighed solemnly, and said to me, "There is no way, I can only fight hard, see if the ancestor blesses or not!" ”
As he spoke, he saw the Seventh Master pull out a bundle of rope from the equipment bag, hand it to me, let me grab it, put the other end around his neck, and took out a whistle-sized purple sand bottle from the small bag he carried, pulled out the stopper, and applied the contents to his hands, which was a black powder that exuded a smell of Chinese medicine.
"Seventh Master, what are you going to do?" I have a sense of foreboding.
"This is a traditional Chinese medicine and charcoal ash used to absorb sweat, and it can also refresh the mind." He said, "I'm going to crawl over there." ”
"You're crazy!" I said, "The jar here is so brittle that it will break when you touch it, isn't it tantamount to death if you go over like this?" No, absolutely not! "Hearing the plan of the seventh master, the three of us unanimously expressed their opposition, once the mechanism is triggered, not to mention that the seventh master will be folded inside, even the three of us will be difficult to escape from here, and everyone will be finished together at that time.
The seventh master had a gloomy face, and said, "Standing on it will break things, but lying on it will not necessarily break, as long as there are many pressure points to disperse the weight, even the light bulb I can pass, this has to be hard-hitting." ”
As he spoke, he took off his shoes, turned his back, and lay down on the ground.
I thought that the seventh master would lie on his stomach, but I didn't expect him to lie down face up, and what surprised me even more was that the seventh master's back and buttocks were very skillfully forced, and the whole person had already retracted into the passage against the ground.
I looked carefully, my heart was also suspended, for a while the three of us held our breath, for fear that any noise would affect the movement of the seventh master, after all, the seventh master's kung fu, none of us have ever seen it, on weekdays, we only know that the seventh master's kung fu is high, and the body is good, but it really came to this juncture, and we are all sweating in our hearts.
I saw that the seventh master relied on the flexibility of his back muscles and used his hand-assisted forward method to "slide" forward, as if he was doing a very relaxed yoga.
Although this posture looks very twisted, the movement speed is not slow, and seeing that the seventh master has reached the edge of those clay pots, it makes me feel that the seventh master is simply a snake, crawling against the ground. But I know that it is definitely a huge physical exertion, and in just seven or eight meters, the seventh master is already sweating on his forehead.
"Seventh Master, are you sure?" Seeing the seventh master twisting his body, he was about to climb onto the clay pot, thinking that after all, there were no eyes on his back, and this method had to rely on luck.
The seventh master looked at me and said, "I'm not sure, why don't you come?" ”
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and the seventh master gave me a blank look, then relaxed my whole body, took a few deep breaths, said a few words that I didn't know, and began to move forward into the depths of the rock crevice passage.
At the moment when the seventh master leaned on those clay pots, everyone paused, and I clearly heard the sound of the clay pots being pressurized and rubbing against the clay pots below, which seemed to be accompanied by the crisp sound of those thin pottery shards about to be cracked, I held my breath and watched the seventh master slowly move up, and the sound became more and more. But the seventh master didn't hesitate, and little by little his whole body moved to the clay pot.
At this moment, my back was a little numb, and I was a little glad that after all I had been through, I had begun to skip the fear and go straight into a state of high tension.
I held my breath and watched every movement of the seventh master, as if every time he twisted his body, my heart beat with it, and even my breathing was not under my control.
Fortunately, the seventh master has done a good job, and there is no accident, and soon he is very far away from me, under the light of the flashlight, the seventh master's body can be seen in a dark gap is still moving forward, he climbed, and put a rope on the side, and then we have to rely on this rope to pass.
Five or six minutes later, the Seventh Master had gone deep to a depth of about thirty meters, and along the way, although those tiles made a lot of frightening sounds, they were all false alarms. I slowly began to feel at ease, listening to the echo of the seventh master's panting and heavy breath, I shouted into the gap: "Seventh master take your time, don't worry, safety first, take a rest when you're tired." ”
I was kind, but I heard the voice of the seventh master panting and scolding in the passage, "You fucking rest in this kind of place!?" Saying that, the flashlight of the seventh master swiped a little, I really saw it, the stones above the seventh master are becoming more and more dense, if these things fall, they can directly smash the seventh master into meat paste.
I was in a cold sweat when I saw it, but when I thought of the iron chain with the thickness of my arm before, I shouted to the seventh master, "Those things don't fall down so easily, don't worry, seventh master." ”
The Seventh Master continued to twist his body and crawl forward, only to hear his voice coming from the dark passage, "As long as I lie down and crawl forward, it shouldn't be a big problem, I'm afraid that some of the clay pots themselves have been broken, but they haven't cracked, and they will only crack when I crawl over and bring out the movement, in case there are any mechanisms in these clay pots." Then it just depends on luck! ”
The voice of the seventh master is very calm, I have had this state of mind a long time ago, it is produced in the face of great danger, the situation of fighting to the death, the more dangerous, the more frequent the state of death, the calmer the state of mind.
"Seventh Master, don't worry, I'm here to help you recite the scriptures and bless you safe!" After Huzi shouted, he really read it like he could.
There was silence on the seventh master's side, and then there was a faint light, and I saw him start to twist his body again and crawl forward.
To be honest, the current situation is too tense, Huzi said chanting scriptures or something, just to divert attention, after all, Huzi is the person who knows the most about the organs here, and he knows the danger better than us, and he is more nervous than us, although he is a little joking in his words, but Wang Chuyi and I didn't say much.
After a while, I couldn't see the body of the seventh master, I could only vaguely see the light of his flashlight, and only the panting sound of the seventh master was left in the sound, with an ethereal echo, listening to a bit of a requiem feeling, I gradually couldn't concentrate.
At this time, Huzi's fists were clenched, and his five knuckles crackled, Wang Chuyi hurriedly slapped Huzi in fear, and whispered, "You be quiet!" ”
