Chapter 57 Sawing
The four arches are each about ten zhang apart, symmetrically distributed, and the door is like a tunnel, and there is no longer a stone bridge to connect it.
"It's too late, hurry up and find a hole to get out of first." Gao Guiyun was worried that the arch would disappear again after a few minutes, and urged Tian Fusheng and Wang Ziheng in a continuous voice.
Tian Fusheng also thought that he had no time to think, and said to Wang Ziheng: "I don't have time to choose, let's go with Xiao Gao, let's believe in a woman's intuition!" Wang Ziheng could only agree.
Gao Guiyun randomly stepped into an arch, followed by Tian Fusheng and Prince Heng.
The diameter of the tunnel inside the door is the same size as the arch, dry and cold. Unable to walk a shot, Gao Guiyun let out a scream in front of him, turned his head and crashed into Tian Fusheng's arms.
Everyone used electric light, and saw that the white bones in front of them were full of bones. Judging from the objects scattered around the bones, there are ancient and modern people, and it seems that they are all trapped and dead here.
"Egg poop! It's a dead end, turn back! Tian Fusheng turned his head and pushed Wang Ziheng behind him to retreat quickly. Wang Ziheng estimated in his heart: It is only a few tens of seconds before the next gear turn!
The three of them sprinted, and Wang Ziheng took the lead out of the cave and still returned to the stone tent.
Tian Fusheng followed and rushed out, turned around and shouted into the arch: "Xiao Gao, hurry up!" β
Before the words fell, the "click" sound of gear friction suddenly sounded, and the stone walls on both sides of the arch were rapidly closing, and the door path instantly shrank several times.
Tian Fusheng and Wang Ziheng's hands were pinched in a cold sweat, and they all cheered for Gao Guiyun who was running behind.
Gao Guiyun saw that he had run to the door, but just like the clichΓ© in the film and television drama, he fell down at the critical moment, his upper body fell outside the door, and his lower body fell inside the door.
"Fusheng save me!" Gao Guiyunhua's face was pale, and her voice became sharp and high-pitched.
Tian Fusheng and Wang Ziheng quickly pounced, and one of them grabbed one of Gao Guiyun's arms, using all their strength to rescue her.
The terrible screams of "Fusheng ......" echoed in the stone tent, and people were terrified when they heard it.
Tian Fusheng and Wang Ziheng pulled hard, and in the end they could only drag half of Gao Guiyun's body back. The arch was completely closed, and there was not a single crack in it, and the lower half of Gao Guiyun's body was also enclosed in the stone wall.
Gao Guiyun was cut off by the waist!
The incident happened suddenly, Wang Ziheng and Tian Fusheng were dumbfounded, and they couldn't come to their senses for a long time.
The severe pain made Gao Guiyun faint. Her face was pale, her upper teeth biting her lower lip, her mouth moaning "gurgling", her face contorted, her body twitching, and she was enduring the most abrasive pain of time, and she was about to die in this agony......
Tian Fusheng sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were glazed, his whole body trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Wang Ziheng was also shocked and saddened, but looking at Gao Guiyun's half-fleshy and fleshy, rotten intestines, a strong sense of fear in his mind obviously prevailed.
He thought of the female ghost of Dong Village, and thought of the conversation with Meng Guangping: Even in the hell mentioned by Buddhism and Taoism, there is this kind of punishment of sawing and beheading...... The answer is close, just a veil away!
Wang Ziheng tried to calm himself down, walked to Tian Fusheng's side, and said softly: "Brother Tian, Mr. Gao...... Mr. Gao can't survive, and the gears are going to turn again......"
Indeed, time does not allow for sorrow.
Tian Fusheng secretly blamed himself, as early as after seeing the stone tablet, he knew that this cave was extremely unusual, but in terms of subjective emotion, he was extremely repulsive to a certain concept in his heart, so he repeatedly behaved calmly, but he didn't expect that Gao Guiyun would finally take his life.
In this way, it is useless to evade, even if the rumors have basically been confirmed, Tian Fusheng is still unwilling to accept his fate in his heart. He still has to fight, no matter how strong his opponent is.
He and Wang Ziheng glanced at each other, and the two seemed to know each other.
"When the gears move, be sure to pay attention to the changes on the wall, and don't be careless." Tian Fusheng was no longer entangled in the half-dead Gao Guiyun on the ground, and his eyes were full of rebelliousness.
Wang Ziheng nodded yes. The two of them looked solemn, and the atmosphere had never been so solemn.
"Click"
The gears moved again. The two of them looked closely at the stone wall, and this time, five small black holes quickly expanded into arches.
"There are words!" The two shouted in unison.
Directly above each arch, there is a dark seal the size of a palm. Tian Fusheng stepped forward and illuminated them one by one, and Wang Ziheng read them out in turn: "Water, fire, wood, metal, and earth." β
Tian Fusheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and shouted: "Go to the 'water' gate!" β
Wang Ziheng inevitably wondered: "Are you sure?" β
"Less wordy!" Tian Fusheng didn't look back, and walked directly into the arch under the word "water".
Wang Ziheng didn't dare to slack off, he knew too little about the mysteries of the five elements of yin and yang, so he could only choose to believe in Tian Fusheng, so he had to follow him.
Fortunately, after entering the arch, I finally didn't encounter the bones again, and it seemed to be a living door. A few minutes later, I remembered the sound of the gears turning in my back, and the sound was extremely faint.
Wang Ziheng didn't have to look back to know that the arch behind him must have closed again.
The tunnel was not very long and soon came to an end.
Outside the tunnel, the water was murmuring, and an underground river nearly thirty meters wide lay in front of the two of them. The top of the head and the sides are wide and boundless, and it is still a deep and huge space.
On the opposite side of the dark river, there was another arch open on the stone wall facing the two of them, and the light inside the door was bright. The passage connecting the two banks is a row of round stone piles that emerge from the river.
Tian Fusheng counted the number of stone piles with his hand, and there were forty-nine in total.
Wang Ziheng approached Tian Fusheng and asked, "How do you know that there is no danger in walking through the 'water' gate?" β
Tian Fusheng said: "I said a long time ago that all the arrangements in the lid of the cauldron are mysterious, but we didn't pay attention to it."
"When the first four arches appeared, we were too careless, in fact, there should be words on the door, which are 'earth', 'fire', 'water' and 'wind', which are the so-called 'four 'four' in Buddhism;
"The second time there are five arches, you can also see the words on them, it is the 'five elements' in Taoism.
"These two organs are not complicated, the 'water' in the 'four majors' refers to the ten good methods of the Bodhisattva, and the 'water' in the 'five elements' is the beginning of all things in heaven and earth after the beginning of chaos.
"I see!"
"I also waited until the five arches in the back appeared, combined with the text above, to think of this verse. If she had thought of it earlier, Xiao Gao wouldn't have ...... Forget it, let's go! β
Tian Fusheng jumped on the stone stake in the river, Wang Ziheng did the same, and the two began to cross the river.
