On the other side of the slate, he successively ignored my anger and rose to the sky, and said in a mocking tone: "Xiao Jiu, usually my brain is so bright, but this time I am sluggish, let you go out first is to find the mechanism of this stone gate, two times A Man entered and exited, both closed from the outside, and the mechanism was set on your side." ”

After a slight startle, I suddenly came to my senses, yes, I ignored this important detail. Suppressed in anger, he picked up the oil lamp on the ground that had not been extinguished, raised it above his head to search the light, and swept the wall little by little. Aman's lamp oil and wick don't know what it is made of, and there is a strong wind swept in this passage, but its flames are fluctuating, but it has never been extinguished.

After carefully looking at every place, I finally found the clue, which was not obvious, but I had the heart to look for it, and I could still detect that the location was different from the side, it was a little sunken into the wall. But the position was too high, and he couldn't reach it even if he stretched out his hand, Ah Man was tall and had long arms, and that height was only up to his chest for him.

There was a succession of urgings from inside: "Did you find it?" ”

I ignored him, took a few steps back, stared at the spot, took a deep breath, ran and rushed, and when I reached the stone wall, I took a leap forward, and the force of my palm hit the depression so hard that my hand went numb on the spot, but then I heard the rumble of the stone slab slowly rising.

Brother Liang's figure appeared behind the slate little by little, and one after another gave me a thumbs up, and praised me without hesitation: "Xiao Jiu, it's good." I hid my trembling hands behind my back and said with a blank face, "Hand my bag down." ”

When I handed down the backpack that had been sorted out one after another, I picked it up with my left hand, and when my hand slipped, the bag smashed directly at my feet. After being stunned for two seconds, I hurriedly jumped down from the hole, opened my backpack and asked, "Didn't hit your foot?" I didn't mean to, I thought you caught it before I let it go. I glanced at him, shook my head, and said, "It's okay, it's on the side." ”

When he turned around and went up to get something again, I let the pain leak slightly, and the thirty or forty pounds of things just happened to hit the toes, so it was strange that it didn't hurt. But in the eyes that seemed to be concerned one after another, I didn't want to admit it.

The right hand is still in a semi-numb state for the time being because of the excessive force, so I have to assist the left hand to carry the backpack, which is especially heavy when placed on the shoulder. When he looked up, he saw that Brother Liang had just come down, and when he saw this scene, after his eyes crossed a circle, the corners of his mouth lifted, and he didn't say anything.

After coming down one after another, I didn't stay any longer, with Brother Liang taking the lead, and in the middle one after another, I deliberately walked at the end. In this way, even if their feet are slightly limp because of the pain, they cannot see. After walking for nearly an hour, we stopped, because we actually returned to the cave of Aman, obviously walking forward, without turning around, and did not see any forks in the way.

"Maze games?" Murmuring one after another, he turned around and asked me, "Xiao Jiu, did you have any special impressions when we came in?" ”

I stared at my eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Yes, the Black Snake lot." "Also, the passage we just walked through was upright, and I remember that when we came in, we had to bend our waists and crawl on the ground for a long time, but we didn't get there.

One after another, he clapped his hands, "That's right! I also nailed that black-skinned snake to the ground, why didn't I encounter it just now? ”

"The corpse of the snake may have been taken away by Ah Man, but the hole in the stone wall where he summoned many thin snakes later could not disappear. Let's go one more time and keep an eye on the top of our heads. "That's what I suggest.

Brother Liang and Succession did not object, and the three of them marched again, this time much slower than the previous time, and their eyes searched for places with obvious features, but they never found that there were holes on the top.

By the time we got back to where we were, we could be sure that this passage was not the way we came.

As for why it will return to the original position, it has also been observed, this is a circular needle route, after advancing about 100 meters, there is a small arc bend, which begins to deviate from the straight direction, and then there will be the same arc bend after 50 meters, and when it turns the fifth time, it has an upper and lower layer, to put it bluntly, there is still a fork, but this fork is very hidden, so that we did not notice it when we first walked through.

Therefore, it is also confirmed that this passage is a circular dead end, and it is incomprehensible that we came in along the passage, why was it not the original road when we went out? Will the road disappear out of thin air and be forged out of thin air? Obviously, it's impossible, there must be something we didn't think of as the key, and it's basically certain that these designs come from Aman, who is really so intelligent that it makes people feel incredible.

Among the three, Brother Liang was the most impatient, and he wanted to go alone again. successively pulled him to persuade: "Brother Liang, I understand your feelings, I'm afraid that my colleagues will fall for their tricks, but at this time, it's best not to separate the three of them, in case you go elsewhere and don't come back, where can we go to find you?" ”

I don't have a say in this matter, and I guess I will be suspected if I talk too much, so I keep silent.

At this moment, I seemed to hear a sound coming from the cave where we had come down before, but it was covered by the sound of talking to Brother Liang one after another, and I couldn't help but take a few steps closer to that place. After listening attentively, he took two steps closer, and he was already at the entrance of the cave, and there were questions behind him: "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing?" ”

I turned back to them and shrugged at them, pointing to the top of the cave, "Listen! ”

The voice was erratic, as if someone was shouting at the other end of the pipe, then knocking on something twice every once in a while, and shouting again. It can't be Aman, he is very poor in language, and I doubt that someone will be calling Aman, but Aman has not returned.

One after another, he suddenly said: "It's a madman!" ”

Yes? I turned my head in surprise and saw that Brother Liang was asking Brother Liang one after another, "Do you think it looks like him?" Brother Liang listened carefully, and when he spoke, his tone was firm: "It's not like it, it's him, how many people are as nervous as him?" After confirming from them that it was really three madmen, and then listening to the sounds that came from time to time, I couldn't help twitching the corners of my eyes, and indeed the other end seemed to have found fun, shouting and knocking twice.

scolded hatefully one after another: "He is in good spirits, and he still has kung fu to play there, so he went out to buy a book of heavenly book cheats, and tore it up directly in front of him." Brother Liang sneered, "It's not the first day you know him, and you don't know his virtue yet, but since he can play around on the other side of the pipe, it means that it's safe over there, let's go up and see if we can talk to him?" ”

The three of them climbed into the pit again, took out tools from their bags one after another, took two bags and raised them to knock on the top stones, at first the other end did not respond, and when the knock was in the center, there was a sound of Ying He's beating. Knock on this side, knock on that side, if it is two more knocks in succession, then there are two knocks.

I suggested directly: "You try to knock on that place and see if you can find the sound pipe." ”

The tool in his hand was a bit like a diamond, a few gravity strikes, flying stones splashed, and the top really showed a pipe opening, about the thickness of my arm. At this time, the voice from that side was much clearer, and I only heard the three madmen shouting at his throat to this side: "Master, you are mistaken, now it should be three knocks, you knock several more times, let's do it again." Then there was a tap.

Suddenly, the crow flew overhead, a black line appeared on his forehead, and he scolded speechlessly one after another: "I really obeyed him, I should be saying a code." ”

The three madmen estimated that there was no response from our side, so they knocked again, and when they couldn't wait for a succession of responses, they shouted to the pipe mouth again: "Master, are you still there?" Did I do something wrong, give Xiaosheng a hint. ”

scolded directly one after another: "Get out of your madman, what kind of text do you drag for Lao Tzu, it's still a child!" Hurry up and talk about the situation on your side. ”

Suddenly, the other side fell silent, and after waiting for a while, there was still no response, and they looked down at us one after another with an inexplicable face, "It can't be scared away, right?" Brother Liang stepped forward and said in an unkind tone, "You come down." After jumping off the bag one after another, he changed to Brother Liang, he raised his head and pointed at the microphone and shouted: "Crazy, I'm your brother, squeak for me quickly, don't pretend to be dead." ”

It's true that he didn't pretend to be dead over there, the sound of ping-pong came from far and near, Brother Liang reacted quickly, and as soon as he heard it, he knew what was rolling down from above, and he got out of the way in time, and with a bang, a short thin steel pipe smashed at his feet, he jumped aside and shouted: "Okay, he the guy directly." ”

The voice of the three madmen cowered came: "Little Liu, I just accidentally slipped my hand." Lao Liang, you're also here, why are you? I thought I ran into ......" and the words behind it were vague and inaudible, but the meaning didn't need to be expressed too much.

Brother Liang didn't have the patience to listen to him talk about anything else, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and talk about the situation over there." ”

"My side? It's nothing, it's just that I was chased in a panic, and I found a dry well to hide, and found a hole the size of a fist underneath. The voice of the three madmen echoed, and sometimes he couldn't make it clear, so it sounded laborious, but the general meaning was understood.

Surprisingly, that end would be in a dry well. I naturally thought about what the piercing knocking sound that summoned Ah Man to leave before would come from? Obviously, Brother Liang also thought of this, and he asked the three madmen if there were any other objects that could be pronounced at the bottom of the well.

The three madmen looked very excited when they heard this, and after shouting "bosom friend", they said to throw things down and show us, followed by the ping-pong rolling more than ten kinds of metal devices from above, most of which are mainly steel pipes, of different lengths, and also curved, but the end of each one is sharpened.

I only heard the three madmen shouting from above: "Have you seen it?" These are all things that can be thrown in, and there are some coarse ones that can't be put in. I looked like a musical instrument, so I experimented with it one by one, hey, I didn't expect to attract you. ”

It is difficult to understand the thinking of the three madmen, but he can actually associate it with a musical instrument, and he still looks as if he has found a soulmate, and his voice reveals extraordinary excitement.
