Chapter 70: It's Arrived
I saw that the top of the passage was fifteen or sixteen meters high, and there were a few big stone balls hanging on it, so I didn't have to think about it to know that this was a fucking rolling stone mechanism.
It seems that each big stone ball weighs thousands of pounds, and if it falls, people can smash it flat. And the ingenuity of this mechanism is not to smash people at all, but to roll inward along the passage after falling, and if it is a passage with a very steep slope, its rolling speed is not slower than that of a car at all.
I glanced into the distance in the passageway, and sure enough, it was always downhill, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit. If the stone ball falls, the people in the passage will be killed by the rolling stones, and the stone balls weighing thousands of pounds will roll over the body, and they will be crippled if they are not dead.
Thinking about the horror of the big stone ball, I suddenly felt a chill even stronger, because I had already realized why San'er had asked me to wait. But for San'er only stopping me and not others, I was even more puzzled by him, didn't the life or death of those people in front of him matter in his eyes?
I looked at San'er, and suddenly I began to feel a sense of fear for him, he seemed to be like San'er I had seen in the desert before, and he was so cold-blooded that he didn't even want to tell the person in front of him a kind reminder. If you treat the people of the Meng family like this, maybe I can understand, after all, they have too many grievances and entanglements from the past, but he didn't even remind the old prostitute, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the other passage, and there was also a big stone ball on it, and it seemed that the two passages would be dead and dead, and if I chose the wrong passage, once I walked in and triggered the mechanism, it would be doomed.
At this moment, I can't wait to rush in immediately and stop the people in front, at least in my heart, I can't accept that the old prostitute and the seventh uncle have an accident. One is my brother who was born and died, and the other is my uncle who watched me grow up, how can I sit idly by.
I swooped in, and I just wanted to tell them quickly.
This time, San'er didn't drag me, but said: "Young people are still too impetuous, how can they become big things if they can't hold their breath." San'er sighed twice in succession, and then walked into the passage, and then said: "It seems that he has indeed mastered the route to enter. ”
I wasn't interested in what San'er said later, because I knew that he was talking about the second uncle, and it seemed that he had doubts about what the second uncle said before. But what he said earlier was obviously talking about me, in fact, with his age and identity, I can understand that I am young and impetuous, after all, people are seniors. But he sighed twice and seemed to be disappointed in me, which made me a little puzzled.
I glanced sideways at the little wolf standing on the side, and showed him a helpless wry smile, he didn't say anything, just motioned for me to follow San'er.
After entering the passage, the flashlight in front of them was no longer visible, I don't know if the slope inside was getting bigger and bigger, or if they had gone far, in short, they had disappeared into the dark passage.
The three of us didn't step up, but walked slowly. In fact, I really wanted to catch up with the old prostitutes as soon as possible, but San'er walked in front of me and kept pressing the speed, and I couldn't run directly over, so I could only follow slowly and leisurely.
As I walked, I was thinking about what San'er said about me just now, and I was a little puzzled at first, but then I felt that he was right. Maybe I'm too young, and I'm a little out of the blue. Such an obvious big stone ball above the passage, the second uncle must have seen it, and besides, he observed it in front of the passage for a while, so it was impossible not to find it. It seems that my anxiety is really superficial.
I saw that I couldn't see the people in front of me now, and they couldn't hear us anyway when we spoke, so I simply asked San'er directly how he found out that there was danger in the passage, because in my impression San'er didn't go to the front of the passage at all, so it was impossible to observe that there were rolling stones above the passage.
San'er told me that in fact, he didn't know that it was a rolling stone, but the symbol just now indicated that it was dangerous, and the danger factor was very high, so he asked me to wait for a while, because he couldn't judge whether the choice made by the second uncle was correct.
When I asked what the symbol represented, he only said that it represented a high risk factor, and nothing else. From this point of view, that kind of symbol was indeed the mark of the Murong family, otherwise how could he understand it.
This rolling stone mechanism seems simple, but the danger factor is really high, just like we are walking in the passage now, once a rolling stone falls, then we don't even have a place to hide, and the end can only be spared.
The downhill passage took a while to catch up with the old prostitute. It's not so much about catching up with them as it's about having problems with them.
They were standing in the stone chamber at the other end of the passage, and I got closer to see what was inside the stone chamber. The stone chamber was not large, and it was clear that there must have been a passage to the rest of the world, but it was not clear which wall the door was on.
Except in this direction where we came in, the other three walls were covered with carved patterns. There are some patterns that we can roughly understand, but some of them simply don't recognize, we haven't seen them at all, and we don't know if they are totems or miracles.
I observed where the second uncle was standing, and I wondered if he had seen all the carvings on the stone wall on three sides, or if he was only interested in the stone wall on the left. He stood in front of the stone wall on the left, all the while looking at the carved patterns on the stone wall.
Most of the carved trees on the left stone wall are trees, and the roots of various trees grow together in a staggered manner, and the density of the trunks and roots makes it impossible to tell which tree is the root of which tree.
The second uncle had been watching there, as if he was looking for something. I wanted to ask, but I was afraid of disturbing him, after all, he had the information here, so I didn't worry about finding my way here.
The old prostitute came to me, put her ear to my mouth, then put her head back and said, ", pee and pee and want me to follow, you really use Lao Tzu as a bodyguard." ”
I was stunned by the old prostitute's words, and thought: Where the hell did I talk, when did I ask you to pee with me. But when I think about it, it's not right, he has something to say to me.
The old prostitute dragged me and said, "Let's go, you still want to pee here." ”
I followed the old prostitute back into the passage, walked far enough away, and pretended to pee.
"What's the situation?" I asked softly.
"Oh my god, what else do I want to ask you? What the fuck are you guys doing, why did you come here so slowly? Do you have any plans? Don't tell Lao Tzu that you drank a bottle of water to delay for so long. ”
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that the old prostitute had found something to tell me, but I didn't expect that he called me out because of this.
After hesitating for a moment, I still can't tell the truth, if I tell him that San'er found out that there is danger and let me wait, and I don't tell him, then he will be mad, and he will have to trouble San'er.
"It's okay, just talked about the symbol." I replied softly, "That symbol belongs to the Murong family." ”
"Really?" The old prostitute continued suspiciously: "If you have any plans, tell me in advance, don't let my mother make my eyes black and I don't know anything." ”
"No, if I had a plan, I would have told you a long time ago, you are the main force." I patted the old prostitute on the shoulder.
After the two of us walked back, the second uncle was still there looking at the stone wall on the left, and it seemed that he had not yet found the place he wanted to see.
I also followed the carvings on the stone wall, and after looking at it for a while, I felt a little strange, the trees on the stone wall did not have leaves, either trunks or roots, and some of the trunks were very twisted, which felt very weird.
Just when I was looking strangely, the second uncle suddenly squatted down and reached out to touch one of the roots in the carving. Then the second uncle stood up again, and raised his hand to touch the carved trunk, a very insignificant trunk, if the second uncle hadn't touched it with his hand, I wouldn't have noticed the trunk at all.
The second uncle immediately took two steps back after touching it, and then the stone wall made a grinding sound, and the stone wall of the carved tree slowly opened a flipping door.
Although I haven't understood the mechanism yet, I can tell that the flip door has two triggers, one for the root and one for the trunk. Looking at the second uncle's action just now, a tree root was triggered first, and then a tree trunk was triggered, and the flipping door was opened. As for the connection between the root and the trunk, I really didn't understand it.
Maybe I was the only one who was focusing on the mechanism, and everyone else was shining their flashlights inside. The inside of the flip door is completely different from the environment we are in now, the space inside is large and irregular, and it should be a hollow mountain formed by pure nature.
Entering the hollow mountain, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and there is no more oppressive feeling in the passage. It is wide and tall, and the shape of the stone at the top is strange, and it is not artificially carved, but it looks like it has undergone geological changes.
The air here is so smooth that it makes you think you're outside. It seems that there may be some connection between this place and the outside world, or it may be very well ventilated.
"Oh my god, this place is awesome!"
As soon as they heard the old prostitute speak, the Meng family who was walking in front began to get excited, and several people shouted excitedly: "It's here, it's here." ”
Hearing them shouting, I quickly quickened my pace and walked over, and looked at the flashlight, and a huge stone gate appeared more than a hundred meters in front of me.
This stone gate looks quite magnificent, and it feels like the whole mountain is a foil to the door. If you look closer, this stone gate is 16 meters high and 20 meters wide, and it is a split stone door. However, in the lower right corner of the stone gate, there is an opening that has been opened, although the opening is built with stones, but no matter how you look at it, it is not left before, it seems that someone should have opened it later.
"My god, this stone gate is too big, and thousands of troops and horses may not be able to pull it open." The old prostitute walked to the mouth of the masonry and sighed: "Fortunately, this fucking person has the help of his predecessors, otherwise I don't know how much time it will take to get through such a mouth." ”
As the old prostitute spoke, she was about to get the stone with her hand, and the second uncle hurriedly shouted, "Don't move."
