Chapter 231: Arriving at the Platform
"Damn, Lao Bai, what's wrong with you? Isn't it hurt? Huzi asked as he helped me up.
I shook my head and looked ahead, for some reason, I always looked at the stone bridge road in front of me very twisted, as if it would be straight for a while, and it would be curved for a while, and the bend amplitude was different, sometimes it was larger, like a semicircular arc, sometimes it was only slightly tilted, in short, it looked very weird.
I looked up at Huzi's Wang Chuyi, as if the two of them didn't feel like this, so I said, "Huzi, you carry me over, I'm a little dizzy." With that, I closed my eyes and stopped looking at the road ahead.
Huzi is very righteous enough, without saying a word, he picked me up, began to walk forward, lying on the back of the tiger, although closed eyes do not look at the road ahead, but always inevitably worried, always want to open his eyes to see, but afraid that he will see that kind of scene again, causing a sense of dizziness, after a period of inner struggle, I finally did not hold back, opened my eyes, and took a look.
I looked at the past carefully, as if the two of them saw a different scene from what I saw, so I closed my eyes again and asked Huzi, "How far is it?" ”
Huzi replied in a low voice, "It's almost there, there are still twenty meters at most." "I was relieved to hear Huzi say this, although I couldn't see the way, fortunately the two of them didn't lose their way.
After about a minute or less, Huzi patted me and said, "Lao Bai, come down, we're here." ”
I just opened my eyes, only to see that I had arrived at a huge square platform, the whole platform is very huge, two or three hundred meters left and right, turned around and looked, found that the stone bridge road is behind us, and there is no change, at the end of the stone bridge road, is the towering ancient tree, it seems, we have passed the stone bridge safely.
At this time, Wang Chuyi frowned and said, "Lao Bai, this platform is boxy, surrounded by cliffs, it's useless for us to come here?" ”
I turned on the flashlight and circled along the four sides of the square platform, and found that it was really just like what Wang Chuyi said, the entire platform was suspended all around, and only a huge bluestone pillar supported it, which was very much like a huge elevator.
Huzi was also looking around on this platform at this time, and while watching, he said to Wang Chuyi, "According to your experience Tiger Master and me, this tomb will not build a useless road for no reason, and it leads to this platform, it must be useful!" ”
I agree with Huzi's statement, the construction of this ancient tomb has consumed huge financial and material resources, and then look at the stone bridge, the ancient ice crystal tree, and the square platform we are standing on now, which will consume great financial and material resources, it will never be just for viewing, there must be a secret door, but we have not found it yet.
After two turns on the platform, Huzi was already a little anxious, took out the saber with his backhand, lay on the ground, and struck the brick under his feet with the handle of the knife.
But before I could run to the place, I heard two crisp sounds, pop, pop, Huzi hurriedly raised his head and looked at me and Wang Chuyi, and then said, "It's empty below!" After saying that, he inserted his saber into the gap between the bricks, carefully pried one of the bricks open, poked his head into the inside, and couldn't help shouting, "Fuck! It's all gears! As soon as Wang Chu heard Huzi say this, he rushed over with a strong step, and then squatted down and shone a flashlight into the bricks, "It seems that this is a big space, and one gear extends far away, and almost the entire platform is full of gears." ”
I just ran to the two of them, because the area of this brick is not large, Huzi and Wang Chuyi squatted next to the square brick that was pried up, basically the exposed opening of this brick has been blocked, I squatted down to look, and I couldn't see the situation inside, at this moment, Wang Chuyi suddenly shouted, "That pillar, the gears are all converging towards that pillar!" ”
I listened to her and quickly patted her on the shoulder, motioning for her to give way and make some room for me.
I squatted down, turned on the flashlight and looked diagonally inside, only to see that the square bricks we were standing on were only a thin layer, about five or six centimeters thick, and the space under the entire platform was very large, densely covered with gears, the gears were connected one by one, and they were arranged very regularly, all of which converged towards the blue jade pillar that supported the platform in the middle.
I quickly came to the middle of the platform, used a seedling knife to pry up a square brick, turned on the flashlight and shone it inside, only to see that the huge blue jade pillar used to support the entire platform was also hollow, and it was densely covered with gears, I reached out and touched the gear, and found that there was a thick layer of wax on the gear, and the bronze gear was kept very intact.
At this time, Huzi and Wang Chuyi had already come to my side and asked, "There are such a large number of gears in here, it seems that there should be an extremely cumbersome giant mechanism." ”
I nodded, and did not answer, but continued to study the direction of these gears, as Wang Chuyi said, there must be a cumbersome and complex mechanism for such a huge gear matrix here, if you understand the arrangement and direction of these gears, it should not be difficult to deduce the location of the trigger mechanism.
At this moment, I suddenly found a very thin gold thread! I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, this golden thread is the most commonly used means of connecting the organs of the ancients, it is not uncommon in the Xiliang Tomb and the Tomb of King Liao, they are all powerful mechanisms used to kill people, but this time I met the golden thread, and this golden thread is very secret, almost the entire thread is hidden in the back of the gear, which is different from the Xiliang Tomb and the Tomb of King Liao, as if the golden thread here does not want people to find out.
The light of the flashlight shone in the direction of the gold thread, and it was found that the gold thread was very long, extending from the center of the gear to the left, almost to the edge of the left side of the platform.
Seeing this, I hurriedly made a gesture not to move towards Wang Chuyi, the tiger, and walked towards the left side of the platform, although this platform is boxy, but only this left side is the closest to the mountain cliff, and the other three sides are completely suspended.
To the left side of the platform, raised the flashlight to shine, found that although this is the closest to the cliff, but there is a distance of about 30 meters, it is almost impossible for normal people to jump from here to the opposite mountain cliff, 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can really jump over, the mountain cliff is almost a 90-degree right angle, straight up and down, unless it is a top rock climber, otherwise it will definitely be killed.
