Chapter 71: The Last Obstacle
The old prostitute was startled by the second uncle's shout, and quickly retracted her hand, then carefully looked at the stone with a flashlight, looked at it for a while and said, "This fucking doesn't look like a mechanism." ”
"This is a negative overlapping stone, once you take it wrong, you can't afford the consequences." After the second uncle finished speaking, he glanced at San'er, and the two made eye contact.
Although neither of them spoke, it was clear that the look in their eyes seemed to have made the other grasp it. I don't know where they got their tacit understanding, or the second uncle's words were deliberately said to San'er, anyway, San'er understood what the second uncle meant.
San'er came to the opening blocked by the stones, and the old prostitute hurriedly stepped aside, and the people of the Meng family focused their flashlights on the stones. San'er looked carefully at the mess of large and small stones, not knowing what he was looking for, and sometimes his fingers moved a few times from time to time, as if he was counting.
This opening is not as big as an ordinary door in the house, and only one person can pass at a time, to be honest, I really can't see any mystery about the blocked stones, in addition to the different sizes of the stones, there is also a characteristic that the building is messy, and there is no order at all. However, there is one thing that is more awesome, that is, don't look at the messy appearance of the stone blocks, but there are no gaps, and there is no lime between the stones, which is a peculiarity.
San'er looked at it from top to bottom for a while, and then started to move. The first stone he took out was not taken from the top, but from the third row on the right. This stone is a piece of stone, 20 centimeters long, what it looks like on the outside and what it looks like on the inside, it is not a strange-shaped stone. But the stone that San'er took out next was incomprehensible.
Then San'er began to draw out the two stones on the top of the third row, which were completely different from the first one. These two stones are noticeably lightweight, the outer part is not as large as the inner part, and the length of the stone is much longer than the first.
San'er had been pumping stones in an orderly manner, and when I pulled out more than a dozen pieces, I began to understand the principle of this, because I had already seen what was behind the stones.
There is a layer of wax paper behind the masonry stones, whether it is wax paper is not very clear, but it is obvious that there is a thick layer of wax on it. Although the outer layer of stones seems to be a mess, in fact, each stone has a corresponding role.
It is not difficult to see through these stones drawn out by San'er that the mystery lies in these stones, because there are many long stones that almost touch the wax paper, as long as you accidentally take the wrong stone, then the gravity will change, which will inevitably make some long stones tilt, thus cutting the wax paper.
This principle is not difficult to understand, the long stone is pressed by the short stone, so that the long stone is balanced, but once the wrong stone is drawn, the long stone will be tilted inward, cutting the wax paper. In fact, this design is a double-edged sword, and it is not easy to implement, because the designer can easily trigger the trap when laying stones.
I don't know exactly what the mechanism is, but I'm certain that if the wax paper is cut, it will be unfavorable to us.
San'er's technique became faster and faster, and soon more than half of the stone was pulled out. During the period when he was pumping stones, I glanced at the second uncle and the seventh uncle, and they seemed to have a lot of confidence in San'er, and they didn't pay much attention to the process of San'er pumping stones, but instead fiddled with a big water bladder with a guy from the Meng family on the side.
Could it be that the design of this stone masonry is the technique of the Murong family? I was curious, and of course it wasn't just curiosity, it was the most plausible explanation. Think about it, if it weren't for the Murong family's technology, how could San'er be allowed to do it, and San'er hadn't made a move before that. The most important point is that the second uncle and the seventh uncle have confidence in San'er, which shows that they know that San'er can handle it. What is based on their confidence that they are so sure, the only explanation is that this mechanism was designed by the Murong family, you must know that the Meng family and the Murong family were partners back then, and their understanding of each other is definitely not as simple as I know.
After the stone was pulled out by the three sons, we have seen the situation inside clearly. A bulging thing like an airbag is blocked in the mouth, I don't know if there is a large amount of black gas in it, or if this thing is originally black, in short, it is swarthy, and the outside is coated with thick wax.
At this time, the second uncle and a guy with a large water bladder came over, and the mouth of the water bladder was sealed, leaving only a thin rubber tube outside, and the other end of the tube was a thick needle. This needle is obviously used for injections in pigs or cows, and it hurts to look at it. It may be that when I was a child, I was pricked by the needle, and I am still a little scared when I see the needle.
The second uncle came to the side of the mouth, poked his body into his mouth, and then handed the needle to the second uncle by the guy with the water bladder. Since the opening is not very large, and the second uncle is in the way, it is difficult to see how he operates.
When the second uncle retracted his body, the needle had already penetrated into an extra part above the air bag. If it weren't for the needle stuck there, I really wouldn't have found an extra piece above the airbag.
The second uncle told us to leave it alone, saying that we could go in after a break of ten minutes. Except for the guy with the water bladder, who kept holding the water bladder high at the mouth, everyone else found a place to sit down and rest.
During this period, I deliberately sat next to the second uncle and the seventh uncle, and asked the second uncle how long we would have to walk to get there, but the second uncle pointed to the big stone gate and said that it was inside.
Hearing the second uncle's answer, a feeling of bitterness arose, and I couldn't wait to rush in immediately, I wanted to see what secrets were hidden in it.
When people can't wait to know something, that sense of anxiety makes it impossible to wait for a moment. I stood up and walked over to the opening, wanting to see how long it would take, but as soon as I looked into the opening, I felt incredible.
I saw that the air sacs blocked in the mouth had changed color, no longer black, but slowly turning white. I don't understand what the principle is, but I know that this change must be good, maybe the second uncle is waiting for this change.
I told the second uncle about the white of the air bag, and the second uncle came over to take a look and said that it would be faster than he expected, and when the air bag was completely white, we could go in.
While waiting, I asked the second uncle what the mechanism of this air bag was, and the second uncle told me that the black gas in the air bag can instantly make people go into shock, and in serious cases, they may be killed on the spot. However, he couldn't tell what kind of gas it was, only that it was a mixture of the powder of several ancient rare plants, and water was the only way to crack it.
I don't dare to underestimate the drug-making technology of the ancient people, there are all kinds of strange poisons, so I believe what the second uncle said.
The airbag turned completely white, and the second uncle asked the Meng family's buddy to carefully pull the airbag out. The wax on the outside of the airbag has become crispy, and after a few tuggings, the wax on the outside begins to fall off.
When the airbag is completely pulled out, we can see its true face. This air bag is not big, only more than a meter long, it looks like an animal's skin, it may be too long and has been seriously deformed, so I can't tell what kind of animal it is.
The second uncle and the Meng family were in front, and we only went in after they passed through the opening.
Entering the opening, I only knew the thickness of this big stone gate, this stone gate is more than five meters wide thick, no wonder the predecessors want to open such a hole, if you wait to open the stone gate and then come in, it is estimated that there will be an army of men and horses, otherwise thirty or fifty people don't want to pull open this stone door at all.
I thought that I would be completely there, but I didn't expect to be disappointed by what I saw after entering. As soon as I came out of the mouth, there was a strong sense of depression, and less than ten meters away from the mouth, there was a stone door. Although this stone gate is much smaller than the stone gate outside, it blocked my curiosity about the inside and dispelled many illusions.
It's like a person receiving a gift in a box, after opening the box is still a box inside, and after opening the box inside, there is a box, and the first few times you will feel curious, you will be eager to know what is inside. But as more and more boxes are opened, you get bored and stop being as curious as you were when you opened the first box.
In fact, the current situation here is the same as opening a box, we have experienced too many stone doors, and curiosity has begun to become boring, especially when I think that there may be stone doors in this stone door, it is really boring.
"My god, the person who designed this place must be a merchant who sells doors, how many doors are here, and the vault won't have so many doors." The old prostitute was sarcastic, and at the same time took care of it and said, "Huh! The door should be able to open. ”
Hearing the old prostitute say that it could be opened, I couldn't wait to ask, "Old prostitute, can you open this stone door?" ”
The old prostitute shook her head, and I scolded, "Then you fucking said you could open it." ”
"Oh my god, when did I say I could open it, I just said it could be opened, and I didn't say I could open it."
The old prostitute saw that I didn't understand and explained it to me, it turned out that as soon as this guy came in, he saw the stone door, and immediately went left and right to take care of whether there was an opening leading to the inside, but he didn't find the opening, so he said that the stone door should be able to open.
But if you think about it, the old prostitute's idea is right, there is no other way to enter, so you can only enter through this stone gate, after all, there have been people who have entered here before.
I couldn't help but look at the second uncle, I guess he must know how to open this stone door.
Sure enough, the second uncle touched the stone wall with his hand next to the stone wall on the side of the stone gate, and then he slapped the stone wall hard. Immediately, a stone on the side of the stone gate retracted, revealing a square groove.
Before I understood what the exposed groove was, the little wolf took out the hair mound mark on the side, and San'er took the hair mound seal, and without saying a word, he directly put the hair mound mark into the groove.
Then there was a sound of a mechanism rattling, and the stone door slowly opened.
"Damn, the Faqiu seal turned out to be the key to open this stone door." My wife and I were surprised almost at the same time.
Through the cracks in the opening of the stone door, flashlights shone through several places, and seeing what it looked like inside, I knew that we had really arrived.
