Chapter 875: Inverted Lotus
I saw a depression about five meters wide on the shore of the lake.
At first glance, this depression is not naturally formed, because its shape is very regular square, and a large amount of water is constantly draining from both sides of the depression, and in the central area of the depression, a large hole large enough for two people to walk side by side gradually emerges.
After about twenty minutes, the dirty water was no longer draining from both sides of the depression, and the circular hole completely appeared in front of us.
This is the drainage hole marked on the mechanism map.
At first, I didn't understand the meaning of the word "drainage" until I saw the scene.
In fact, where the depression appeared, there was originally a reed bush that did not show any abnormality, and under the reeds was the soaked mud floor, but now all the water in the mud was emptied, and the reeds were also lying crookedly on the ground.
I estimate that directly below the mud, there should be a large mechanism driven by water power, this mechanism contains a device that can squeeze the water out of the mud, and the reason why there is such a drainage hole is because in the process of mud, the pressure plate buried in the ground is squeezed in all directions, and they are originally tightly fitted together, so that when you move, there will naturally be a hole in the middle.
I have to say that Xu Blind's attainments in mechanism art are still remarkable, and I estimate that the underground mechanism may be more complex than the aboveground part.
Although the water in the mud has been pressed out, but the mud will not be completely dry, Zuo Youdao and I went to the entrance of the cave to take a look, and found that the mud on the edge of the hole is still wet and soft, and the hole is too deep, we have to hang a steel cable at the entrance of the cave to go down, but the mud is so soft that it cannot be used to fix the climbing nails.
At this time, Sun Luyuan, Li Huaishan, and Liu Shangang also rushed over, and I asked Li Huaishan to find out if there were any heavier stones nearby, and then squatted down and burned the mud around the cave with karmic fire.
As expected, even if the mud is burned dry, it is still very loose, and hanging a steel cable on this mud layer is to find death.
At this time, Li Huaishan found a good stone less than 500 meters away from me, that stone should be the stone left by Xu Blind when he built the darkroom, although the edge of the stone has been corroded to a relatively good extent, but the traces of artificial cutting can still be faintly seen on the stone surface.
The stone was embedded in the mud, and from a distance it looked like a thin stone slab surrounded by reeds, and only when Li Huaishan knew that Li Huaishan had dug a trench next to the stone with a sapper shovel, he could see clearly that the thickness of this stone was more than one meter.
I can see all these things that Li Huaishan has done.
I called Zuo Youdao, ran to Li Huaishan's side to see the situation, Zuo Youdao knocked on the stone surface with the hilt of the green steel sword, and touched the surface of the stone with his hand, estimating that the weight of this stone should be eight or nine hundred kilograms, if he can be moved to the drainage hole, there will definitely be no problem with hanging the steel cable.
It just so happened that Liu Shangang also came over, and when he heard that the stone weighed nearly a ton, he muttered: "This is too heavy, and we can't do it by a few of us." ”
Zuo Youdao looked up and asked me, "With your strength, you should be able to move, right?" ”
I also had a little difficulty: "It's definitely no problem to move, the key is that this stone is too big to start, and you have to help me later." ”
Liu Shangang glared at his small eyes and looked at me like a fool: "Big brother, did you take the wrong medicine?" This thing weighs nearly a ton, how can you move it on your own! ”
Zuo Youdao stood up and said with a smile: "I have fought with Da Fei, and his strength is not something you can imagine. Don't be stunned, hurry up and copy the guy, we have to dig out the stone first. ”
Liu Shangang still didn't believe it, but Zuo Youdao urged him to work, and he didn't dare to be idle, so he quickly pulled out the sapper shovel.
I first burned the mud around the stone with karmic fire to prevent the mud from flowing, and then we all worked together to dig a very deep groove around the stone.
Sun Luyuan and Li Huaishan hit steel nails on the stone and wrapped the steel cable, while I grabbed the steel cable and struggled to pull the stone to the ground.
When I pulled the stone, Liu Shangang wanted to help, but when he saw that no one else had any intention of helping, he stood aside with his hands folded and stared at me with a suspicious face.
Zuo Youdao is right that they don't help, because my strength and rhythm are different from theirs, and if they come to help, I have to maintain the same rhythm as them, and then my strength will not be able to fully exert itself.
It wasn't until I dragged the whole stone to the ground that Liu Shangang exclaimed: ", are you still human?" ”
I smiled at him and said, "Have you seen the second master?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"The second master's strength is even greater than mine."
Originally, I said this to be modest, but I didn't expect it to trigger a new round of complaints from Liu Shangang: "Can it be the same, what body type does the second master have, and what body type do you have?" The body of the second master is like a bear, you say that he can lift the tank I believe, but your body is not much different from the beam thick load ratio, it is said that you can't have such a great strength! ”
Zuo Youdao shook it off with a big eye: "Who is like a bear, no big or small." ”
He just wanted to use words to block Liu Shangang's mouth.
Fortunately, Liu Shangang was more afraid of him, so he immediately shut up, if this guy continued to be verbose, he couldn't get a problem with my ears, as soon as he opened his voice, he could speak like a small steel cannon, and it would hurt people's ears.
I don't know how Zuo Youdao endured it before.
After that, Zuo Youdao and I didn't talk nonsense, I picked up the stone, Zuo Youdao supported by the side, and the two of them worked together to carry the stone in the direction of the drainage hole.
I can only let Zuo Youdao help me alone, it is useless for others to come, and it is easy to be in danger.
My strength is great, mainly because of the special physique, Zuo Youdao's strength is not small, this is mainly due to the fact that when he was a child, in order to practice finger kung fu, he often had to use his fingers to pull a hundred and ten pounds of stone locks, plus he often waved the thirty or forty pounds heavy green steel sword, over time, the strength boiled out.
How powerful is the left Youdao? Let's put it this way, if this guy were to compete in Hercules, he would be able to achieve really amazing results in some events.
With his strength, although he can't carry such a heavy stone, but if I lose my force here and cause the stone to fall, he can push the stone away with a violent force, if you replace it with Liu Shangang or Li Huaishan, Sun Luyuan and them to help the stone, in case the stone falls, I will have to burn paper money for them today next year.
This is no joke.
Before coming to the drainage hole, Zuo Youdao and I first unloaded the stones, then I hit steel nails on the top of the stones, hung steel cables on Zuo Youdao, and shrank into the hole.
He likes to take the lead, and I don't care where I am, in front and behind.
Just when Zuo Youdao's front foot was about to enter the hole, Liu Shangang suddenly asked, "You really don't need me to follow?" ”
Zuo Youdao nodded: "It's enough for me and Da Fei, you can wait outside." ”
Let's say, Zuo Youdao jumped into the hole.
I gave Li Huaishan and Sun Luyuan a smile respectively and followed.
When Zuo Youdao said the five words "waiting outside" just now, not only Liu Shangang, but even Li Huaishan and Sun Luyuan's faces were ugly.
At that moment, they seemed to think that Zuo Youdao and I had abandoned them.
Actually, I don't take them with me, I just don't want them to follow the danger, and I don't mean anything else.
After sliding down the tightrope for nearly twenty meters, Zuo Youdao finally landed with both feet, and then he reflexively reached out and helped me off the tightrope.
Before going down to the cave, Zuo Youdao lit the flashlight and pinned it to the backpack belt, at this time he shrugged his shoulders and shone into the darkness, and said to me: "I have been in the industry for so long, and I have never been to the grave with anyone other than the thick load and the thin monkey." ”
I smiled: "The people around me change often, but Ergou has never left me." ”
"Who is Ergou?"
"Li Ergou, Li Huaishan."
As he spoke, Zuo Youdao hit the flashlight on a relief.
Now the two of us are located in a large slope downward slope of the cemetery, the stone walls on both sides of the tomb are carved with reliefs, but most of the reliefs have been corroded to the point that they are not in shape, and in many places you can even see the traces of the stone chips peeling, only the small relief illuminated by the left road is complete.
It was a statue carved into a stone wall, which looked a bit like a Buddha, but if you look closely, you will see that it is very different from ordinary Buddha.
The biggest difference is the lotus seat under the statue, the lotus seat in Buddhism is all petals up, the bottom petals are sloping down, and the petals in the upper part are up, but the rosette of this statue, all the petals are slanted, as if a lotus flower is buckled to the ground backwards.
Zuo Youdao whispered: "Not a Buddha statue? ”
I nodded: "It's just that the facial features and carving techniques are similar to those of the Buddha statue, but if you look at the lotus, this should be a unique deity in the Muni religion." ”
As mentioned before, Muni Religion is Mingjiao.
Zuo Youdao grabbed the flashlight on his shoulder, let the light hit straight ahead, and asked me, "How much do you know about Mingjiao?" ”
"I've looked up some relevant information before, but I can't find much of it."
Zuo Youdao nodded, took a step and walked forward.
The ground is slippery, the two of us must be as careful as possible to avoid a sudden fall, and then we will slide all the way down the ramp, Xu Blind is good at arranging mechanisms, no one can tell what will happen along the way, if the body loses control, it is unpredictable to live and die.
But Zuo Youdao and I are obviously overly worried.
After walking a short distance, I saw a very large stone frame in front of me, with a wheel groove with a dark pile pulley at the bottom of the frame, but because of the age, the metal wheel had long been eroded.
It was only when I saw this object that I remembered that this was originally a passage used to transport food underground, and it was impossible for a blind man to set up a deadly mechanism here.
