Chapter 17 The Suspension of the Car
This glance can really be described as ecstatic, it is actually Liu Yang who is hanging there! His body was wrapped in a lot of black silk threads, and he looked like a wriggling ball of yarn, which was extremely joyful.
"Big ......"
I was about to shout Dayang, but Kong Xian suddenly covered my mouth from behind and scolded in my ear: "Do you want to die? A sucker. ”
Knowing that I was at a loss, I was a little too impulsive, so I obediently stopped talking, turned my head and motioned to Kong Xian with my eyes, "I want this person!" ’
He nodded, and raised his hand to the piece of black wire that was most entangled in the clear, and told me to shine my headlamp at that spot and not move.
Although I didn't understand, I obediently shone my headlamp.
This photo aroused my curiosity, the thing was so badly entangled by black lines, no matter what angle the light changed, I still couldn't see what that lump was. I had a vague feeling that there was a mysterious power in it, scattered everywhere like invisible radiation. It draws me closer to it, it draws me to unravel the mysteries that surround it.
"Hey, I told you to shine the light over, and I didn't let you stare at it
That thing was in a daze. Kong Xian patted me on the shoulder, interrupting my thinking, and he explained to me simply, "I'm curious what it is?" Actually, it was nothing special, it was just an enlarged version of the trap box, and the black silk threads, and those little claws, were placed by its owner in all the places where the trap needed to be triggered, and the thing wrapped in black silk thread was supposed to be the core part of the trap. ”
It dawned on me that if there were so many thread traps that needed to be triggered, there must be a place that was the center of it. It's just that...... I somehow felt something strange coming from that mass of things, which made me extremely uncomfortable.
"Sss I looked at the other dense black threads in the space in confusion, and asked Kong Xian, "Are those dead people or animal corpses?" ”
He was looking for threads around us that were long enough and strong enough to be used for load-bearing. Hearing my question, he turned his head to look at the small line groups and replied: "I'm afraid not, I think the layout of these things is a bit like the car suspension array in the Warring States period of Japan, which should be deliberately made by people, as for what is inside, I don't know." ”
"The car hangs?"
I was puzzled, but Kong Xian didn't intend to waste time explaining it to me.
I saw that he was already preparing to save Liu Yang, and said with some concern: "Is Da Yang the only one who touches so many mechanisms, and the space under this underground is not confined, and occasionally a few small animals run in, and it is also possible to trigger the mechanism, why is there nothing here and he is the only one?" Don't be impulsive, when you get to the middle, there's something you can't deal with. ”
Kong Xian knew I was worried and gently pinched my shoulder. His voice suddenly sank, and he said in a low and serious voice, "It's not that no one has triggered the mechanism here, but that there are predators." I don't have time to explain to you, just wait a minute, and stay safe. With that, he grabbed the closest line to us and slid down.
The depth below is like an abyss, and you can't see the bottom of it, even if you use your headlamp to shine on it, you can only see a dark patch. Although Liu Yang's location is not too far from us, if you want to get there, you need to change from one line to another. If any of the threads connected to the mechanism are not triggered, then Kong Xian will also turn into an upside-down sausage like Liu Yang.
Kong Xian was wearing a black sweatshirt suit, and my headlamp shone on the huge trap box, and his position was so dim that I could barely see his position. Unconsciously shifted his gaze to the car suspension array that Kong Xian said.
It's not like I've never heard of this formation, when I was a child, my family liked to listen to books, and there happened to be an old madman in the village who could tell stories, and I heard it a few times in the past. However, Kong Xian liked this old man very much, so he dug some wine from his own wine jar when he had nothing to do, and ran to other people's houses to stay, and he listened to it all day. So I definitely don't know as much as he does.
It is said that the hanging formation of this car is a spiral-shaped odd formation, the general is located in the center of the formation, the peripheral forces are laid out layer by layer, and the mobile forces are outside, forming a number of traveling formations, rotating in the same direction when the battle is about to be fought, taking turns to attack the enemy formation, like a rotating wheel. It was the most famous formation of Japan's Warring States period, and it required a strong degree of cooperation, and Kenshin Gong relied on this formation to crisscross the northern country for decades without tasting a defeat.
But this car is placed here, which is equivalent to the terracotta warriors and horses in the museum, and I am afraid that there is no value except for viewing. Oh, no, in this dark underground, there's a fart to watch.
Moreover, the beauty of this wagon suspension lies in the constant pressure on one part of the enemy's army, causing it to collapse from exhaustion, while its own side is replenished and rested by taking turns to attack, and to regain its combat strength. But the black thread hanging here is obviously not a living thing, and there is no need to rest at all, let alone change formation.
However, when it comes to the car suspension formation, I have an indescribable feeling for the huge mechanism in the middle, which is stronger than the previous feeling of wanting to get closer. I even felt a voice coming from inside, telling me to climb up and find the answers I wanted to know.
"Muyou!"
Kong Xian's voice came to my eardrums and suddenly woke me up. As soon as I looked down, I almost rolled off the gap in the stone wall. Only then did I realize that I was unconsciously really approaching the huge ball of thread, but fortunately, Kong Xian found the problem and called me lightly in the distance, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.
I wiped the cold sweat from my face, and quickly retreated to cling to the stone wall, not daring to look at the huge ball of thread anymore.
At this time, Kong Xian could already reach Liu Yang. If it weren't for his whiteness, I wouldn't really be able to see where he was.
But at the moment, for some reason, my heart was beating very fast, and a strange feeling of shortness of breath was getting stronger and stronger, as if something was about to happen.
I wanted to call Kong Xian's name, but I was afraid that it would distract him and lead to danger.
"Hmm...... Hmm...... "I suddenly heard a loud snort coming from Liu Yang's throat.
He couldn't say a complete sentence after wrapping a few circles of silk thread around his mouth, and after he saw us, although he hummed a few words quietly, he also quieted down when he saw Kong Xian go to save him.
It's just that he doesn't know why at the moment, as if he suddenly saw something terrifying, his body writhed desperately and struggled, and a loud sound came out of his throat.
Kong Xian took out a multi-functional Swiss Army knife from his pocket and was cutting the black silk threads on Liu Yang's body, which had metal components in them, and Kong Xian was struggling to cut them. He whispered something to Liu Yang, it should be something like telling him to be quiet.
"Be careful." I reminded Kong Xian softly.
As soon as the words fell, a "squeak" sound came, something like the sound of a rusty doorshaft turning. I was startled and hurriedly looked around, only to see that the large black ball of string in the middle had begun to spin slowly.
I scolded, "it." "I didn't expect this thing to be able to turn, is it really a mechanism for such a large thing? Even in modern times, it needs enough power to drive it to spin.
As soon as the big ball turns, the surrounding small ball also starts to rotate back and forth. My heart is not good, Liu Yang and Kong Xian are still on those lines, this swing, no matter how good the arm strength is, it can't last a few seconds.
Kong Xian and Liu Yang had realized the problem and were desperately trying to get closer to me, but since the line in their hands was no longer under their control, it was difficult to advance every little bit.
