Chapter 104: Forty-Eight Hours
Shaking my head, I pulled myself together and looked at the time, there was still half an hour before twelve o'clock.
But I didn't feel sleepy anymore, so I had to get up and exercise, and when I moved for a while, I still had to pass through those passages quickly.
Brother Long looked at me over there, and he also cleaned up, and took the people to the yin and yang plate in the middle, anyway, they are used to it.
I walked over there slowly, looked at Brother Long, and said, "You're too fast, aren't you?" The time has not yet come. ”
"It's always good to prepare first." Brother Long laughed, patted me and said, "It's still good to have you, the most fortunate thing for me now is that when I said that I was going to come here, I thought about it for a while, I want to bring you with me, otherwise, just by entering here, I don't know how many people will be lost." ”
I laughed dryly, and a person next to me said, "Yes, if it's just the fourth master, we may not even be able to get down that iron lock." ”
I glanced at him, and the two people who came from the fourth master of the king were now shining in their eyes, and it seemed that they really had to convince me.
I didn't say anything, and when the time came, I stepped on the trap on time.
This time it's still the earth, heaven and earth, I'm a little looking forward to it, I don't know what kind of effect this hexagram will be after the image, can this stone cabinet still have a place to open and then lead to the ground?
Then it is no longer yin and yang, because yin and yang must be absolutely symmetrical, the top is in that position, and the bottom should also be in the corresponding position.
The mechanism stopped, and I looked over there with bated breath.
I went, and this time the sarcophagus against the stone wall on our side also began to move, and all the way down, so that the sarcophagus was actually split in half from the middle.
No, it's not all.
The stone wall not only descended to the height of the ground, but also descended, and at the same time, the stone staircase just now, which had been laid flat on the ground at this time, also slowly sank down with the descent.
It's a downward stone path, and I open my mouth wide, this one is so ingenious.
When the ground descended from the stone staircase, a black hole began to appear, this is the mechanism below, right?
I glanced at the mechanism, and couldn't help but nodded, the master of setting this tomb is already so powerful that it doesn't look like a human, this is another yin and yang, which just corresponds to the mechanism above.
Hearing that the stone staircase stopped, I immediately rushed over and took a look, the rest of the sarcophagus should be strong and there would be no problems.
Going down the stone stairs, the flashlight shone, and sure enough, in the direction where it was facing the top, a mechanism was found.
However, this mechanism is installed underground.
In this way, there is one roof and one underground, and the trend of yin and yang has been achieved.
I stepped forward and stepped on it, and when the mechanism fell in, our sarcophagus turned again.
This time it turned another 180 degrees, and it turned back again.
I looked at the sarcophagus in front of me, my mind was a mess, I reached out and gently touched the sarcophagus, I suddenly felt this thing, as if it was moving.
"Wait, this thing is moving." I shouted, and Brother Long immediately rushed over, and then also touched the sarcophagus and nodded.
"That's right, it's moving, what does that mean?"
I thought about it for a moment, suddenly clapped my hands, and said: "This is a timekeeper, no, this thing is similar to the sarcophagus in the ancient city, this thing is used to keep time." ”
"And how long will we have?"
It's hard to say, but if you look at the experience of the ancient city, I think it's forty-eight hours, that is, two days.
Brother Long nodded and said, "Don't worry about it for now, let's go to the next place first." ”
This is the right thing, I immediately stepped on the yin and yang plate in the middle, and moved on to the next place again.
This time, the dogs don't show up anymore, which makes our actions faster.
When I got to the place, I looked at the time, and there was still a long time before it was three hours.
"Xiaowen." Brother Long called me, then found a place, and we gathered again.
"The sarcophagus was moving just now, and you said it had two days, but if we opened all four of them, it would be twelve hours, that is, we only had thirty-six hours left, which is a bit tight."
I nodded, there was no way around it.
Zhang Shihong said at this time: "Actually, I'm wondering if this time will be based on the rotation of the last sarcophagus." ”
I scratched my head, Zhang Shihong's statement is also reasonable, if according to his statement, we pressed the last sarcophagus, then there are still forty-eight hours.
This possibility is not impossible.
"It's a bit unrealistic to think about this now, so let's wait here after the stone cabinet here is pressed, take a look at it in half an hour, and see if I move less, I think it should be understood."
I nodded, this is a good way, because no matter how the ancients set up the mechanism, it still had to abide by certain laws.
For example, if you go back in 48 hours, the speed of movement will be the same in these 48 hours.
I didn't hear of running crazy for the first two hours, and then sleeping for the next forty-six hours, that's the story of the tortoise and rabbit race.
Brother Long's method can just measure the speed of this sarcophagus to infer the time.
When I reached the right time, I pressed the mechanism again, and Brother Long immediately stepped forward and made a mark with an oil-based pen on the ground on one side of the sarcophagus.
We waited here, watching the time, and when it was half an hour, he made a mark again.
This time it's Zhang Shihong's matter, we are here, even if he has the highest level of education, it is better for him to ask for speed or something.
He immediately stepped forward, roughly measured the corner, and then seemed to bring in a formula or something.
If I had been in school before, maybe it would have been a little bit more, but now, this formula or something has been completely returned to the teacher, although he won't give me the money.
"It's weird." After Zhang Shihong finished calculating, he also frowned.
"What's wrong?" Brother Long asked.
Zhang Shihong laughed twice and said: "The result of this calculation is a bit unexpected, that is, it is not forty-eight hours, nor sixty hours, but about fifty-four hours, why is it not an even number, and there will be a singular number?" ”
I smiled, I think I should have understood.
Zhang Shihong looked at me, and Brother Long also looked at me and said, "What's wrong?" Xiaowen. ”
"Let's go, go to the next one first, and when we get there, we're ready, and I'll tell you about it."
I followed them to the next place, looked at my watch, and there were still more than two hours before we found someone to sit down.
I took out the drawings and looked at them, and said, "Zhang Shihong should not be miscalculated, but this mechanism is set up too cleverly." ”
Zhang Shihong looked at the map and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"It means that our time is like you just said, after the last sarcophagus is turned, there should be forty-eight hours."
"What does that mean?"
"Three-hour setup." I glanced at Zhang Shihong and said: "This mechanism, every time you press a switch, there are three hours of preparation time, so that after the four sarcophagi are pressed, it is exactly nine hours, that is to say, the ancients believed that these nine hours are not counted in the time to enter it." ”
Seeing that Zhang Shihong still didn't understand, I had to say it more simply.
He was really a little stupid, the first sarcophagus, the set time to turn back to its original position, should be fifty-seven hours.
And the second stone cabinet, that is, the sarcophagus just now, Zhang Shihong calculated that it would take about fifty-four hours, so there is nothing wrong with that.
And so on, the mechanism in front of us must be fifty-one hours.
After the last press, it will definitely take forty-eight hours to turn the speed back.
That is to say, for each press one, reduce it by three hours, so that the last time we enter will be stuck within forty-eight hours by these four sarcophagi at the same time.
After listening to this, Brother Long said: "In other words, the time we entered below is only forty-eight hours, no matter what we do, we have to come out?" ”
I nodded, and said, "That's what it means, but in the current situation, it's enough, and if we go down from here, it's a little while, and then it's much easier." ”
Brother Long also nodded, then thought for a while, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, just hurry up and rest now, aren't these the last two sarcophagi?" When we get to the bottom, we have to have no time to rest for two days, anyway, it's safe here, let's rest. ”
Only then did we each find a place to rest, and Brother Long naturally guarded with Brother Tiger.
I don't think much about other people now, so I found a place and just collapsed.
Because if you think about anything else, it will really affect your rest.
There was a burst of fragrance next to me, it was the faint fragrance on Zhang Siqiao's body, she sat next to me, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound.
I squinted and felt myself fall asleep soon.
When I got up again, the time was almost up, and I immediately went over to prepare.
Now that they've all got experience, they just need to keep an eye on it.
By the time the sarcophagus turned, we were already heading towards the next passage.
Finally, as long as we press this, we can find the way down or up, so we can do whatever we want.
When I think of this, I feel a rush of excitement in my heart.
But I really didn't think about what danger there would be down there, because with Brother Long and them, I don't know why, when I was with them, I always felt safe.
Maybe that's trust.
