In this way, in the end, Bai Yunfei was left alone.

He took a deep breath, no longer looking at his perilous surroundings, and focused all his attention on the hanging rope.

When the rope turned, he grabbed the rope and quickly pulled it down a few times, then jumped onto the tray with a vertical leap.

At the same time, his body was tightly attached to the boom of the tray, and his arms were also tightly clinging to the boom.

At this time, Bai Yunfei was so nervous that his body was a little stiff, and his violent and rapid heartbeat kept hitting his chest.

To say that he is not afraid is false, but Bai Yunfei found that once people are afraid to a certain extent, they have a strange steadfastness in their hearts.

This is no different from the state when he was not afraid, which made Bai Yunfei begin to wonder if he was numb?

And the person on the opposite side had already cooperated to help Bai Yunfei hold up the tray on the opposite side to prevent the danger of going up and down too much.

Although the boom holding the hanging tray was rotating, Bai Yunfei was originally facing the boom with his back to the surrounding pit wall, and he was also very afraid of those poisonous snakes.

But Bai Yunfei still couldn't help but turn his head to look at the pit wall and the dome, the huge space, the rotating scales, the deep pit, the evil viper...

It all seemed so unreal, but it was moving so clearly in front of Bai Yunfei's eyes, it made his mind dizzy.

In the dizziness, Bai Yunfei felt that this was like a dream, fluttering, and he wished that he would fall asleep.

Suddenly, Bai Yunfei was frightened into a cold sweat because he could have such an idea at this time, quickly turned his head, took a few deep breaths, and jumped down when he approached the entrance of the opposite passage.

At this point, all the members who entered from the scripture cave passed this strange "torture scale" without any damage, and everyone's faces showed excited smiles.

After suffering in high tension for so long, I finally relaxed the taut string, and mental and physical fatigue came together in an instant.

Bai Yunfei took out his mobile phone and saw that it was already dawn.

After tossing all night without rest, there are still unknown dangers and difficulties waiting for everyone in front of them, so everyone decided to rest here for a while to replenish their energy and water.

Everyone took out the bread, biscuits, and mineral water in their backpacks, and began to eat and drink.

In the process of replenishing water, Bai Yunfei always involuntarily glanced at the dark passage in front of him, and there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart.

I can't tell you what it feels like, but I feel like the road ahead is more dangerous.

But having come here, how can there be any reason to retreat?

When packing up, Bai Yunfei asked Thirteen: "Brother, what do you call it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Thirteen grinned: "The name is not important, just call me Thirteen, Brother Bai." ”

Bai Yunfei patted him on the shoulder and smiled at him.

Everyone is ready to stop and get ready to go.

After experiencing the thrill of this rotating scale, everyone has passed this ghost gate without danger, and they can't help but stop at the entrance of the passage and look back.

Cao Longxuan said slowly: "After passing this level, I will know the beginning and the end, it turns out that this so-called 'torture balance' is the selfishness or dedication of human nature, and the test is unity or betrayal. ”

Everyone didn't know if his guess was right or not, but through this thrilling "weighing," everyone felt that his analysis should be correct.

The crowd began to march forward.

The passage in front of it is still made of blue granite strips, but the passage at this end is shorter, and when you take a dozen steps forward, a stone door appears in the flashlight in front of you.

Under the door are several steps, made of stone of the same material.

Stepping up the steps, everyone came to the door to take a closer look.

Different from the iron gate of the Nine Peerless Chains, this is an independent stone door hewn from complete stones, and the material used is neither the hemp-blue granite, nor the oil shale with extremely high oil content that makes the "torture balance", but a rock that Bai Yunfei cannot name, and the whole body is yellow-brown.

It seems that Su Lao Ghost is really familiar with all kinds of tomb-building materials, he took a look at it twice, and said that it was made of stone called "Qitai Huang".

This "Qitai Huang" has been produced in many places, but the quality of the production in Qitai County, Xinjiang is better, so it is named, also known as "Kalamaili Gold", which is a very popular stone for modern home decoration.

Hearing him say this, everyone secretly admired Old Ghost Su in their hearts.

It must be known that this self-proclaimed uneducated old ghost Su can not only identify the materials used in the ancient tombs, but also master their systematic knowledge, and even the modern application fields are also clear, which is indeed not simple.

The stone door is boxy, about two fists thick when viewed from the outside of the stone wall, and it is impossible to see which side is the side of the door shaft and which side is the end of the handle, and at first glance it looks like glue is glued to the stone wall above the steps.

It is estimated that it will take a lot of trouble to open this door.

Old Ghost Su knocks and touches.

Sun Er asked, "Mr. Su, do you see if there will be a mechanism behind this door?" ”

Old Ghost Su replied without thinking about it, "It's too likely." ”

Then he took out the compass in his pocket, looked left and right at the stone gate, and then took about ten steps back to the passage behind him, and used the compass to look at it a few times.

Picking up the compass and coming to the stone gate again, the old ghost Su seemed to have a plan in his chest.

He pulled out a cloth bag from his backpack, about a meter long, and as he moved, the bag "clanged", presumably an iron tool inside.

Sure enough, he pulled out some oddly shaped iron tools from his bag, and as he assembled them, they appeared to be a complete set.

And each shape of this tool is divided into several from small to large, just like the wrench in the toolbox used by maintenance workers, which should correspond to different sizes of models.

He assembled several of the flat iron tabs in the bag and poked through the crack in the stone door, apparently probing the spring behind the door, trying to open it.

After working for a long time, Old Ghost Su's forehead was already sweating, and the work of cracking the stone gate was still nothing, so he stopped to rest.

Bai Yunfei took the opportunity to ask: "Old man..."

"Hey, what old man, call me an old ghost, it's best to call the master, and I'll teach you the technique." Old Ghost Su looked at Bai Yunfei with a smile.

"Uh," Bai Yunfei pondered how to reply to his words, this old man who was born as a tomb robber had said several times since he met him that he would take him as an apprentice.

The reason why I didn't dare to answer his words was because my heart resisted.

Although Tufuzi was also a profession in the past, after all, tomb robbing is not a righteous and bright profession, and I don't know if once you enter this industry, whether there is such a saying as "washing your hands in a golden basin and retiring from the rivers and lakes", if you don't let you retreat, it will be troublesome.

So Bai Yunfei hurriedly diverted the topic: "It's not good to call an old ghost, you are an elder after all, how disrespectful this is." ”

"You don't understand, this 'old ghost' is the name of a master in the industry, you haven't practiced for decades, you haven't been born and died, you have been to the tomb dozens of times, you don't have a well-known name in your peers, and you want others to call you an old ghost? That's a debt (inexperienced stunned young man). Old Ghost Su disagreed.

"Ah, well, old ghost, what were you looking for with that compass?" Bai Yunfei handed him a cigarette and lit it.

Old Ghost Su took a beautiful puff and sprayed a long smoke screen:

"One mile, judge whether this is a tomb behind the door, a little bit of the rules of the drop, the direction of the tomb is exquisite.

Two miles, look at the compass pointer when you are close, and if you are not affected by anything, if there are more iron machinery behind the door, there is a greater possibility of a mechanism. ”

Everyone nodded yes after hearing this, and being with this god-chattering old fellow, although it sometimes makes you cry and laugh, but this is a master who never hides his secrets, which is very valuable in some ancient professions, including the tomb robbery industry.

The more ancient the profession is, the more strict the barriers, and if you want to inquire about some knowledge in the industry, sometimes it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

This is also the need for selfishness or confidentiality in the industry.

"How, is this door hard to open?" Cao Longxuan asked.

"It's difficult," Su Lao Ghost showed no guilt on his face: "It's not good, I really can't open it." ”

"What are you afraid of if you can't open it," Niu Gang said with some excitement: "Don't we have yellow explosives, just blast it away, what are you talking about it?"

My old cow is vague, and blasting is not blowing. You ask the white squad leader, when I was in the army, I was a thief and a famous explosives expert, blowing up this small broken door and eating peanuts. ”

Cao Longxuan and Su Lao Ghost both glanced at him dissatisfied, Su Lao Ghost was about to reprimand him, Sun Er hurriedly came out to play a round:

"Hey, Brother Niu, this can't be helped, the explosives are only used as a last resort, and this dungeon exploration also pays attention to technical work, and you can't do it brutally."

After resting, Old Ghost Su got up from the steps he was sitting on, came to the stone gate again, and used his strange-shaped tools to poke left and right, and tried through the cracks around the stone gate.

After tinkering for a long time, I saw that he had left tools in the four directions of up, down, left and right, some of which he glued to the stone door or stone wall with scotch tape, and some of which he asked everyone to reach out to help him hold and hold them still, while others he kept holding them in his hands and pulling them constantly.

Seeing the tools or materials he carried, Bai Yunfei was also admired, his things can be described as varied, not only tools, small instruments, but also office supplies such as scotch tape, glue, wallpaper knives, and even a few elastic balls for children to play with, sanitary napkins for women.

Bai Yunfei didn't understand, this dungeon expedition could still bring sanitary napkins, could it be for the female corpse in the coffin? Okay, be courteous, and then those female corpses won't hurt you and bite others instead?

After about half an hour of tinkering, with the cooperation of everyone, I finally heard the sound of the heavy operation of the metal machinery, and the stone door cracked a crack on the right hand side.

The spring behind the door was cracked.

When Old Ghost Su was packing up his tools to open the door, Bai Yunfei asked, "Old Ghost, you really have a complete range of things to bring, and there are actually sanitary napkins, what is this thing for?" It can't be for some female ghost or female corpse, right? ”

Old Ghost Su grinned:

"Baby, obediently apprentice, you will learn for many miles. This is a foot drop, sometimes tomb robbery, to travel long distances in the deep mountains and old forests, desert Gobi, feet blistered on the trouble, put it on the foot to protect the foot.

Besides, this tomb robbery is also a dangerous job, and the injury is not in a condition to be treated, and it is easy to get infected drops, so use it to protect the wound. ”

Bai Yunfei was quite impressed when he heard it, his feet were very easy to blister when he was marching or training in the army for a long time, everyone knew this "secret recipe", and he bought a few pairs at the military service club before leaving, but he didn't expect him to do this here.

The next step is to open the door.

Niu Gang and Thirteen were about to open the cracked stone door, and they were immediately stopped by Old Ghost Su.

He motioned for a few people to pull out behind the door, and the people here used his Luoyang shovel handle and iron drill to hide outside the stone wall on the side of the stone gate and push it in the direction of opening, but remember not to expose the doorway.

Sure enough, when the stone door was opened to a perpendicular angle to the original direction, only a loud "bang" was heard, the stone door trembled, the stone wall shook, the ground trembled, and the dust on the roof of the passage fell one after another.

At the same time as there was a loud noise, several black shadows flew out of the door at high speed, and disappeared in the flashlight.

There was a loud roar from the "torture balance" crater in the direction of the road, followed by a series of huge crashing sounds.

I only heard Cao Longxuan exclaim: "Oh no, the balance is ruined!" ”
