XXVIII. Climbing
As soon as Yang Xiaoqi's words were finished, we immediately turned our eyes to the bearded body. I don't know how the only captain in our team will take us to that ancient building.
Seeing that we were all looking at him, Beard was a little uncomfortable, and he sighed and said, "To be honest, I've been wondering how this mechanism was made since I found out that there was something in this stone. But...... Let's be clear, this mechanism is beyond my knowledge, and there is nothing I can do about it. ”。
All of us were taken aback by what he said, and we didn't know how to get into the building.
I asked Yang Xiaoqi again if he was sure that there was really an ancient building here?
He said that if not, then there would be no need for the stone to exist.
This is quite profound, the existence of one item in the ancient tomb must reflect the possibility of another. That's what he meant. Moreover, there is really no possibility of burial goods in such a place.
Thinking about it this way, the problem is to find a way to enter the ancient building.
They still resolutely refused to let me see the scene in the ancient building, and I could not draw any more conclusions to enter it.
Ayumi asked Beard why he said that this ancient building could not be entered.
Hu Zi said: "What do you think, what kind of mechanism can map the entire ancient building into one stone?"
We were speechless when asked this sentence.
After a short pause, Feijing suddenly raised his head and looked up. He said: "Although I don't know the existence and operation of the mechanism, it cannot be denied that there are stone walls everywhere here, there are no passages, and the only place where the mechanism can be hidden is above."
He said as he shone his flashlight at the crack above. The height of the top seems to be amazing, and with the penetrating power of wolf smoke, it can't even reach the top.
Qi Yuying said: "It's almost impossible. In my opinion, we should be at the top of the ancient building, and this stone is like a piece of transparent glass. From here, you can look down on the entire floor. ”。
At this time, Hu Zi suddenly patted his head and said, "What you said is a kind of Yin Yang shuttle." Not to mention, it's quite possible. ”
I asked him what the Yin-Yang Shuttle was.
He said: It is a method of building ancient tombs, or temples. For example, we see a house on the surface of the earth, and there is a house under the house that looks like a house on the surface of the rain, but it is the opposite. It's like a shuttle smashed into the ground, the same up and down.
I nodded, roughly understanding what he meant.
Hu Zi looked at everyone and continued: "If it is the Yin Yang Shuttle, then the only place we can hide the mechanism here is only two, one is above, and the other is underground. Let's go through them one by one."
Yang Xiaoqi said: "In this case, let's start from the ground first."
As he spoke, he beckoned the crowd to take out their sapper shovels and begin to dig down the perimeter of the stone.
The bottom of this crack is full of gravel, and although the sapper shovel has a good steel mouth, it is still difficult to cope with such ground. A few people were confused, and it took a while to dig to a depth of less than half a meter.
At the end of the digging, the stone deviated in one direction, because the beard dug and dug underneath the stone, causing the ground supporting the stone to collapse.
I screamed to let my beard run away so I wouldn't get hit in the foot.
When the stone was removed, it leaked out of the ground below, and it was still a mixture of soil and stones, and there was no sign of the mechanism.
The beard told the people not to dig it yet. Apparently the organ is not underground.
Suddenly, Qi Yuying sighed as if she had discovered something.
I was immediately startled and asked her what she had found.
The rest of the people were also curious and turned their eyes to Qi Yuying.
She said, "Something is wrong. You see, the ancient building in the stone is gone. ”。
I immediately felt my scalp tingle. I hurriedly went over to observe, and found that the ancient building in the stone was indeed no longer visible.
What's going on? Could it be that this stone is reflective? Did you just reflect the ancient building here from another place? Otherwise, how could it be that it would disappear after moving its position?
When the beard heard what I said, he immediately patted his head and said, "I understand."
"Understand what?" I asked him.
He glanced at everyone and said, "What the flying mirror said is right, the operating point of this mechanism is indeed above."
I asked him how he was so sure.
"It's complicated to say, now is not the time to eradicate illiteracy. We'll tell you why when we get out here. Beard didn't explain to everyone, he asked Feijing and Ayumi to follow him, and a few people went up to see the situation first. Tell us to wait below.
There is no way to do this, and we confirm that the three of them seem to have the best skills and are the most suitable candidates.
The rock wall doesn't look like a hard climb, and I know it's dangerous. Is there a saying that a mountain that you can't climb at a glance is not dangerous, but a mountain that seems to be climbable?
The stone wall here is like this, and it seems that you can climb to it.
I told them to be careful.
The three of them took ropes, daggers, climbing buckles, and other things, warmed up a little, and then crawled towards the black above the crack with flashlights on their heads.
I, Qi Yuying, Yang Xiaoqi, and another me, the four of us were waiting for their news below.
Worried about the comfort of a few people, we kept looking up at the top of our heads. At first, you could still see the light of their flashlights, but later, as they continued to move upward, they only saw the boundless darkness, and the bearded three seemed to be swallowed up by this darkness.
I have another bad kind of forenotice, it seems that once these three people are gone, they will not come back.
Time flies, ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour, forty minutes.....
Soon an hour had passed, and we had all smoked our seventh cigarette, and there was still no movement or light on it. ,
I feel more and more wrong.
Others are starting to get agitated,
"Why haven't they come back yet?" Qi Yuying opened her mouth to break the silence.
Yang Xiaoqi glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go up and have a look." You're waiting here. ”。
Qi Yuying said that she would go with her.
Yang Xiaoqi said: "No, I'll go up by myself, you guys are waiting for me here." More people go to the other side of the story, but it doesn't necessarily work. ”。
Yang Xiaoqi made it clear that he could do it alone. Qi Yuying insisted again and again, and as soon as I saw this situation, I said in my heart, if Qi Yuying also went with her, then I and another 'me' would be left on the scene, and I felt a little scary. So he said, "Why don't you go together?"
Yang Xiaoqi glanced at my leg and said no. After he finished speaking, he persuaded Qi Yuying again, and crawled towards the darkness above by himself.
At this time, there were only three of us left, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Qi Yuying and I were very close, and to be honest, I was a little repulsed by the other 'me', or to be precise, scared.
God knows what he is.
I looked up at him and saw that he was also looking in my direction, and I felt a little uncomfortable. At this time, he suddenly said coldly: "They shouldn't come back."
