Chapter 320: When You Encounter Water, You Live

I didn't know what he was looking at, and I didn't dare to ask more, for fear of interrupting the seventh master's train of thought, just when we were all puzzled, the seventh master suddenly stood up and said, "It's there!" Underneath the bronze tripod filled with corpse oil in the middle, the mechanism is there! ”

As soon as the seventh master said this, Wang Chuyi and I had already run towards the bronze tripod, and as soon as I bent down, I got under the bronze tripod and groped carefully on the floor.

"Not on the ground, on the ding!"

The seventh master shouted not far away, and I hurriedly looked towards the bottom of the bronze tripod, only to see that there was nothing else at the bottom except for the engraved human face.

At this moment, the Seventh Master suddenly walked towards me and said, "Try two fingers and insert them into the eyes of that person's face at the same time." ”

I did as the seventh master said, and suddenly I felt a crisp click at the bottom of the bronze tripod, and the two eyes of the human face were pressed by me like this, I couldn't help but be surprised, I was locked in the narrow tomb before, and I also studied the face at the bottom of the bronze tripod, and I remembered that I couldn't press it at the time, why was it poked by me all at once now.

Before I could get out of the bronze tripod, I heard a rumbling sound, I raised my flashlight and looked forward, only to see that a boxy stone platform had risen in the middle of the tomb, and on the top of the stone platform, there was a disc-shaped thing.

I couldn't see the specific appearance of the thing, so I hurriedly climbed out and walked towards the stone platform, and before I could get to the place, I saw that the seventh master had already grasped the disc with both hands, and began to rotate, Wang Chuyi and Lao Ba were standing aside, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

After I got closer, I found that this disc turned out to be a gossip compass, if you look closely, it is similar to the one in the hand of the seventh master, it is simply a miniature version of the ancient pattern gossip compass, which is densely engraved with patterns that I can't understand, the compass is divided into nine layers from the outside to the inside, and each layer has a lot of ancient pattern scales, I can't understand what's going on, but looking at the appearance of the seventh master, he must know the doorway inside.

I saw that every time the seventh master turned the compass, he would make a sound similar to the friction of human bones, "Squeak, squeak!" "It's terrifying, and in this quiet situation, the sound is chilling.

The first person who couldn't help it was the eighth child, and he kept urging the seventh master. "Seventh Master, are you okay? How long will it take? Seventh Master ......"

Wang Chuyi grabbed the eighth child one by one, made a silent gesture to him, signaling him not to speak again, and about ten minutes later, in "Click! After a while, the seventh master let out a long breath, took a few steps back, and said, "It's done, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the stone platform was ......slowly retracting, but it was only half a minute, and the stone platform retracted to the ground, and then the square bricks on the ground closed again, as if the stone platform had never appeared at all.

At this time, the eighth asked the seventh master, "Seventh master, what's the situation?" Why did this thing go back again? Am you mistaken? ”

The Seventh Master shook his head: "It will definitely not be wrong, wait a little longer." ”

Although the eighth child is a little suspicious of the seventh master's words, Wang Chuyi and I both know clearly that the ancient pattern gossip compass has not followed the seventh master for a year or two, he usually treats him as a baby, and he takes it out to wipe it if he has nothing to do, and he will definitely not be mistaken.

The four of us waited quietly in the tomb, there was no change in the whole tomb, there was no environment or anything like that, and there was no mechanism for the crossbow to be triggered, it was very calm, during which Wang Chuyi tried twice more, trying to go out of the tomb door, but the result was the same as before, no matter how she walked, she couldn't get close to the tomb door.

We sat like this, and the eighth child was patient, sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, and he was no longer verbose, and I don't know how long I waited, I suddenly heard a small sound on the wall of the tomb on the front and back, click... At first, the frequency of this sound was very slow, almost every two minutes or so, and the sound was very small, but as time slowly extended, the frequency of this sound became faster and faster, until I asked to take a look, the frequency of this sound was so fast that it would ring in less than a second.

As soon as I stood up, the seventh master grabbed me and said, "Don't go over, that's water!" Water on the walls, get ready, this water will come in a moment! ”

Among the four of us, my water nature is the worst, every time I encounter a mechanism with water, then I am nine deaths, this time as soon as I heard that there is water, I immediately panicked, and quickly asked, "Seventh Master, did you turn the wrong disc?" What did you touch? ”

The seventh master snorted coldly and said, "Impossible, gossip and five elements, mutual restraint, there is water, it's right, these four tripods Qiankun tomb, the four tripods are heaven and earth, Xuanhuang represents gold, earth, fire and wood, but there is no water, if I calculate correctly, trigger a mechanism such as water, that is the way to live." ”

As soon as the seventh master's voice fell, I heard a boom, and the tomb wall on the north side collapsed, and a strong water rushed directly into the tomb.

At this time, Wang Chuyi quickly swam towards me, grabbed my hand, and said, "Hurry up and hold your breath, the speed of this water is very fast, and this tomb will be filled soon!" With that, he took my hand and began to swim in the direction of the collapsed wall.

The water splashed on my face, blurring my vision, and in a trance, I only saw that the seventh master and the eighth had already swam out of the collapsed tomb wall first, and Wang Chuyi was swimming forward with all his might, and he was dragging me at the same time, and his speed slowed down significantly.

Soon the water in the tomb was filled, I could only hold my breath and swim forward desperately, Wang Chuyi probably saw that I was in a state of recovery, so he let go of his hand and let me swim slowly behind her.

But soon Wang Chuyi disappeared from my sight, in the water, and there was no one to see, I suddenly panicked again, and swam forward with all my strength, just when I felt that I was about to be unable to hold on, suddenly a hand reached into the water, grabbed my collar, and pulled me up.

After I got up from the water, I found that the water was not very deep, it all flowed in from a square gap, if it weren't for the reminder of the Seventh Master, who would have thought of swimming out against the current, I am afraid that I would have drowned in that tomb.

Wang Chu looked at me, and after making sure that I was fine, she raised her flashlight and began to observe the environment here, and after about half a minute, she said, "We should be on top of the Siding Qiankun Tomb now, this space is like a huge reservoir, as soon as the mouth is opened, the water rushes in." As he spoke, Wang Chuyi pointed to the square beside me, which was now full of water.

Wang Chuyi's speculation was very correct, but at this time, all of us frowned unconsciously, and almost at the same time found something wrong, that is, the volume, although the tomb of Siding Qiankun is not wide, but it is very long, and the volume is much larger than the space where we are now, so why can the water stored in such a small space flood all the space in the tomb of Siding Qiankun?

The seventh master leaned over and looked at the square hole, and he was also puzzled, and finally the eighth child opened his mouth and said, "Hey, I said brothers, could it be that the Siding Qiankun Tomb is not that big in the first place?" ”

As soon as he said this, the seventh master's body trembled slightly, and he said, "No! This main burial chamber should be in that tomb! ”

The seventh master's sentence, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, we spent so much effort, just to find the main tomb, open the coffin and make a fortune, if it is really like what the seventh master said, the main tomb is in the Qiankun tomb, then our trip can be regarded as in vain.

Lao Ba pursed his lips and said, "I feel the same, this Siding Qiankun Tomb is so evil, there must be some moths, maybe it is some kind of blinding method used to confuse our vision, making us feel that this Qiankun Tomb is quite big." ”

Wang Chuyi and I fell into silence, because the seventh master and the eighth two people speculated very reasonably, using tricks such as blinding methods and visual deception in the tomb, we have also seen it before, but this Qiankun tomb is relatively high-end, we have not been able to see it, it is too late to say anything now, if the main tomb is really in the Qiankun tomb, go back now, it is almost equivalent to death.

The eighth looked at the seventh master and said, "Seventh master, we probably can't go back to this road, the main tomb must have waterproof measures, otherwise this water is not enough to fill the Qiankun tomb, let's see if there are any other passages or other things, maybe we can still enter the main tomb." ”

The Seventh Master nodded and said, "There must be a road to Yong, if the main tomb is built like this, there is definitely a road that can lead directly to the main tomb, but we haven't found it." ”

Speaking of this, the seventh master had already stood up, held a flashlight to look around, only to see him hold a flashlight to shine on the top of the tomb, and said to me, "Bai Yu, I squat, I ride on your neck, touch the top of the tomb." ”

I don't know what the Seventh Master is going to do, but since he brought it up, it must make sense, so I nodded, squatted down, and waited until the Seventh Master rode on my neck, and then slowly stood up.

At first, I thought he was missing a leg and a hand, but after thinking about it, these two plus one piece didn't weigh much, so it wouldn't be so light?

Before I could figure it out, the Seventh Master's voice sounded, "Sure enough, this tomb top is the same as I speculated!" It's damp! ”

Hearing the Seventh Master say this, I hurriedly asked, "Wet?" How so? ”

The Seventh Master looked at me with a gloomy face, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a river on the top of this tomb!" I wanted to open a thief hole here to get out, but if it was a river, it would be troublesome! ”

After listening to the words of the seventh master, the eighth child trembled, and a nervous expression appeared on his face.
