This is the old house of the Jin family? How many people are in the Jin family, and how many stilted buildings are needed to live in them?

He Wenqin was shouting and was about to walk towards the cliff, but fortunately, Lao Ruan and Granny Gu were by his side, and quickly persuaded him.

I looked closely at the stilted building, and I saw that the westernmost building was pressed against a boulder large enough to be three stories high, and most of the building had collapsed.

There is an uneven section at the top of the boulder, and I guess it should have been set on the cliff wall, because of the weathering over the years, the place connected to the cliff wall could not bear the weight of the stone, causing it to break, and the stone fell on the stilted building.

Then I lit up the cliff wall, and sure enough, I saw a small half of the broken stone embedded in the wall, and the cross-sections of the two stones could just match.

If this stone had not been broken, the sunlight would have shone down from above the rift, and it would have been blocked by it, and it would not have shone at all on the old house of the Jin family. But now, whenever the sun is setting in the west, the light can illuminate the Jin family's old mansion 100%.

Thinking of this, I looked back at the pond full of stagnant water.

It's no wonder that there is so much vegetation growing on the stone steps, and it is estimated that the sunset sun shines in and is reflected by the pond water, and it shines directly into the staircase.

Since ferns can grow in the stairway, there must be a lot of vegetation growing near the Jin family's stilted building.

Now I finally understand that there are grass and trees growing in this place, and the wood presses the earth, which is equivalent to suppressing the lifeblood of the old Jin family.

However, with the five elements of the old Jin family, when the boulder broke, it should have been made up for it. can look at the broken stone that crushed the stilted building, the Jin family obviously didn't do it, and didn't even move the stone.

Why is that?

As I was thinking about this, Granny Gu came to me and asked, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

I came back to my senses and beckoned everyone to go up the cliff.

The section of the cliff from the valley to the old house of the gold price is almost straight, and the place is very humid and the wall is very slippery, so we can only climb and chisel into the rock wall while climbing, the rock wall is very hard, it took a lot of hands and feet just to hit the carabiner, and it took nearly half an hour to climb to the bottom of the stilted building.

Just at this time, the sun had begun to set in the west, and the sunlight passed through the crack, illuminating one of the old buildings.

This kind of light is much more reliable than flashlight, and I looked towards the place illuminated by the sun, and sure enough, I noticed that there was a lot of vegetation growing on the edge of the old building.

The old white dog didn't know when he came to me, so he asked me on the side: "The two people who are following us, do you ...... What should I do? ”

Through the sunlight, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be something connected to the west side of the top floor, and while hitting the flashlight, I responded to the white old dog: "They have entered the Sanxuan pressure formation of the old Jin family, and it is impossible to retreat with their whole body." ”

The flashlight revealed a cylindrical silhouette made of metal, connected between the two buildings like a clumsy iron bucket, reinforced with metal brackets.

Bai Laogou didn't seem to have much confidence in the old Jin family's tricks, and asked me again, "What if those two people come out of the formation you said?" ”

To be honest, I really didn't think about it, and when I heard Bai Laogou say this, I couldn't help frowning twice: "If they can really come out of there, then we have to be careful." But it doesn't matter, anyway, with you, what are you afraid of? ”

The latter sentence is half the truth, and half is a compliment.

Unexpectedly, Bai Laogou shook his head: "Among those two people, there are masters." ”

I sensed that his tone was not quite right, and when I turned my head to look at his face, I saw that he was frowning and his expression was solemn.

I was also a little stunned when I saw his expression: "Master? ”

Bai Laogou said: "That person's cultivation is very high, higher than me. ”

Hearing Bai Laogou say this, I wanted to be happy at the time, although you are indeed a master, but if you want to talk about cultivation, it is not particularly high, not to mention comparing with Zhang Zhenren and them, and Su Hansheng is far worse than you.

Just thinking of Su Hansheng, I asked Bai Laogou: "The other party is so far away, you can sense his cultivation?" Do you think he is more powerful than Su Hansheng? ”

If the "master" in Bai Laogou's mouth really reaches the level of Su Hansheng, in case he comes out of the old Jin family's Sanxuan Suppression Array, then a few of us will have to stop eating.

Bai Laogou thought for a while before he spoke: "That person's cultivation is between me and Su Hansheng. Combined, your and my cultivation is almost the same as that person. ”

I said then what are you worried about, isn't there still a Gu mother-in-law to help, besides, even if the other party can come out of the Sanxuan Suppression Ground Formation, it is impossible to be unscathed.

Bai Laogou was still a little worried, so I didn't pay attention to him, took the flashlight, and concentrated on checking the situation near the stilted building.

In my opinion, the reason why Bai Laogou can't rest assured is because he doesn't understand the power of the old Jin family's mechanical skills.

Lin'er said that in addition to a west building that was crushed by stones, only a small door was opened on a stilted building in the easternmost part, and the other old buildings were not ventilated on all sides, with neither doors nor windows.

There is no light at the bottom of the valley, and I can understand if there are no windows, but why is there no door?

The east building mentioned by Lin'er is the ancient building that was first illuminated by the sun, I picked up the flashlight again and took a picture of the "iron bucket" on the west side of the top floor, at first I didn't understand what this bucket was for, but now when I saw it again, I realized that it was a passage between the two buildings.

Later, I walked around the buildings and found that there were such things on each building, and the Jin family relied on these iron buckets to connect all the stilted buildings into one.

But why did the Jin family do this, isn't it more convenient to open a door on every building?

I spent a little time observing around the building, and He Wenqin was a little impatient, so he kept asking me when I would go in to have a look.

"The structure of these old buildings is very special," I said to He Wenqin, "and there may be powerful mechanisms inside, and I am now worried that the door that opens on the east building can lead to a dead end." ”

As I spoke, I hit the flashlight at the boulder that was pressing on the west building, and the stone and the small half of the building that had not collapsed were pressed together tightly, almost seamlessly, and there was not even a gap to accommodate me, and I had planned to go into the west building first to see what was going on.

He Wenqin said anxiously: "Then tear down the wall, we can also go in after tearing down the wall." ”

I shook my head: "There must be anti-corrosion metal plates pressed into the walls, and it is impossible to break them." If you look at the big stone pressed on the west building, if there is no metal structure in the building, let alone half a building, such a big stone, the two adjacent buildings have also collapsed. ”

He Wenqin was still anxious: "Then what now?" ”

I said let's look again and see if there are any other entrances.

Then everyone searched carefully near the building, but it took a long time, and they didn't find anything like a secret passage or a secret door.

There is no trick now, so I can only enter through the small door in the building.

I asked the white old dog to wait outside first, and I went in alone to see the situation, and if there was no mechanism inside, everyone would follow up.

The door on the east floor is only about two meters high, and the door is less than one meter wide.

I was worried that there was a mechanism behind the door, so I put my hand on the door panel and pushed it gently, but the metal door shaft was already rusty, and the door panel was not pushed open, but only shook slightly. I felt that there was no abnormal sound from the other side of the door, so I slowly increased my strength and pushed the door open little by little.

"Squeak-ah-", a long, high-pitched sound came from the rusty doorshaft, making my hair almost stand up.

When the door panel was pushed open entirely, the wind from the valley blew in along the door frame, and the moisture inside was so heavy that I could even feel small droplets of water in front of me churning in mid-air.

The old white dog asked me in the back, "What's the situation?" ”

"It's very damp, nothing else." I answered and walked in with a flashlight.

On the first floor of the stilted building is a large open living room, in which a lot of household goods are placed, and the dampness is so heavy, these furniture have been placed here for decades, and they have not rotted and deformed.

I leaned over to a chair facing the door and grabbed the back of the chair with my hand, the paint on it had become so brittle that it shattered at the slightest touch, and the light reflected several different colors of metallic luster on the crack in the paint.

The furniture is made of seven-gold stone, but it is not mixed with cinnabar.

The Jin family is not stupid enough to set up a deadly mechanism in their living room, and I feel that it is no big deal, so I beckoned to the door and let the white old dog and them in.

He Wenqin jumped in before the old white dog, I told him not to worry, he must not rush in front of me when he continued to go deeper, He Wenqin nodded, I picked up the flashlight and continued to walk upstairs.

The stairs are all made of local materials by the Jin family, and the stones are cut into stone strips from the bottom of the valley, and then built up with fine craftsmanship, so many years have been eroded by moisture, and the surface of the stairs has become very smooth, and you must be extra careful when walking on it.

When I got to the second floor, I saw that the huge hall was divided into more than a dozen small rooms, which should be where the Jin family stayed, all the rooms were put with beds and tables and chairs for eating, and the bedding on the beds was almost rotten, but some of the tables could still see uncleaned tableware.

The next few floors are also the same layout, we roughly estimated, even according to the standard of one person living in a room, the number of people in the Lao Jin family is almost more than 100. Such a big family will be wiped out overnight, what happened to the old Jin family?
