Chapter Forty-Eight: Fighting Ghosts

The three of us fell silent at once, our heartstrings tightened!

Someone out there? Who is it? Little beggars? Scarface? The old man shouting on the city wall?

Immediately after that, there were three more bangs outside the bell, bang, bang, bang, bang, and these three sounds became noticeably longer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I looked at my sister suspiciously, deliberately lowered my voice, and whispered:

"Sister, there seems to be a knock on the door outside, what should we do?"

My sister frowned and said:

"Wait and see, even if there are living people outside, they won't hear us clearly, you don't have to be so nervous. This bronze is very heavy, and we won't be in any danger for the time being, maybe a monkey monster is playing a prank. ”

Then there were three more rapid bangs, bang, bang, bang!

Then there were three more slow tapping sounds, bang. Bang. Bang.!

This was repeated six or seven times, and I shouted:

"Who, salty eggs hurt! Your uncle's! If you want to enter the house, you have to have a door open for you! Wait for me to go out and look good with you! We're having a private party! Roll the calves! ”

This sister seemed to hear the cat, and said:

"Lao Wang, I thought it was a random percussion just now, think about it, the rhythm of this percussion is very familiar, three short and three long This is like a Morse code!"

The brother-in-law looked surprised and said:

"Hot, my goddess, do you know anything like a spy code? Can you analyze what it means? ”

My sister immediately blurted out:

“SOS！ It's a distress signal! ”

I thought to myself, strange thing, there is a person outside this bronze bell who sends us a distress signal, isn't this standing and talking without backache? It should be the three of us who sent the distress signal!

My sister raised the diamond umbrella horizontally, and struck nine times in a row towards the inner wall of the bronze bell, three short, three long, and three short.

After hearing the response outside, the tapping stopped, and I asked suspiciously:

"Sister, does this person really understand the Morse code? No, you can type on a more complicated one and ask him who he is? Are you wearing canned meat, beef jerky, or other dry goods? Exchange the gold chain for his bottle of water! ”

My sister looked at me with contempt and whispered:

"Foodie, don't say a word, I'll think about how to reply to him?"

There was another bang, bang, bang, irregular knocking sound from the bronze bell, and my sister was very attentive, listening and decoding intently, I was afraid of disturbing her translation, and I didn't dare to joke anymore.

After hearing this, my sister's face changed from serious and nervous to a little puzzled, and said to me and my brother-in-law:

"The literal translation of this Morse code means that our army is completely annihilated, waiting for support, and the action order?"

Directly stunned us, my sister turned her head to look at her brother-in-law, and her eyes were a little hesitant. I wondered, where is this?

And the action passcode?

This scene of the code across the wall is similar to the connection between the two spies in a spy war movie!

The brother-in-law immediately had an idea and whispered:

"Hot, according to your translation, since the one outside can enter the underground palace alive, there must be two brushes. Not only is he an inverted fighting craftsman, but he is also proficient in the knowledge of the military field such as the Morse code, and he must be a high-level intellectual.

I'm a layman to the Morse Code, but listening to it, he was on a military mission here, but he failed.

The only troops we saw in the underground palace were Sun Dianying's claw army. Could it be that there is a prefect in the underground palace who is still alive during the Republic of China?

Of course, this is just speculation, and it is not yet certain who is sending signals outside. Let's reply tentatively first, it's better to be careful, I'm worried about fraud.

Hot, you replied to him like this: We are trapped, seriously injured, and our lives are on the verge of death, asking for help, who are you? ”

My sister immediately struck the bell with the tip of her umbrella and passed the message on.

After a while, there was an irregular tapping sound outside, and my sister translated:

"I am a dead corpse, transporting grain and grass, ten people farming, and fighting ghosts on the right."

When I heard this, I touched the back of my head and asked:

"Brother-in-law, does it sound like a black word on the road? This must be Boss Sun's soldier, maybe he is really a high-ranking officer. I also know the black language of the inverted bucket, and I can also use the Morse code, and I am an excellent talent with comprehensive and all-round integration!

It's a dead corpse and a ghost, it sounds weird and scary, what do you think it means? ”

The brother-in-law hesitated and said:

"There are more black words, and they are also divided into sects, which is a bit like the joint code of the gang of people in the Jieling Lux, the claw army itself is mixed by people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, and it is not surprising that they will talk black. The dead corpse may be the number of a certain team, and the transliteration is the meaning of the fourth division, hot, what do you think? ”

My sister thought for a while and said:

"I remember reading the information before, Sun Dianying's claw unit number is the Fourth Independent Division of the Military Department, maybe this dead body means the Fourth Division. There is also a record of the special transportation of grain and grass, when Sun Dianying led the four divisions in Malanyu, Hebei Province to pour down the Dongling Tomb, which escorted a team of people and horses out of Jixian County, codenamed the grain transportation team. ”

I think this time it's a new thing, assuming that the sixteen-year-old soldier outside, this uncle who rings the bell will be a hundred years old! Hurriedly said:

"Sister, this person outside may be the uncle who shouted at the city tower just now, could it be that he has lived here for seventy or eighty years? I don't think that's true. ”

My sister ignored me and asked my brother-in-law:

"Lao Wang, since there is a unit number and a detachment number in front, are the last two sentences a joint code or a specific action password?"

The brother-in-law shook his head and said:

"I think the last two sentences are like anagrams, ten people farming, maybe it's a field word, the right side of the ghost fight, it may be a kui word, I also guess blindly."

The sister continued:

"Could it be that this person's name is Tian Kui? I don't have any impression of the name, maybe it's a commander in the Claw Army's food transport team? How do we reply? ”

My brother-in-law has been thinking about it and is very embarrassed to say:

"Hot, let's hold our ground, no matter who he is, we are not enemies, and I don't know the specific joint code. It's the right thing to do if he can help us get out of this big bell. After meeting, it is not too late to say whether it is friend or foe, whether it is a person or a ghost. You reply to him:

Thousands of troops came to open the mountain, and ten catties of goods were on their shoulders,

They are strangers in other places, facing the black box and turning their backs to the sky,

Two people live in a big house, why not get drunk and go the same way,

The yellow flowers fall all over the courtyard, and the wind and clouds return together. ”

After listening to my brother-in-law's limerick-like reply, we saw my sister standing on the ground with the King Kong umbrella, squinting her eyes, and looking at her brother-in-law silently.

The brother-in-law's face turned green when he was looked at by his sister, and he hurriedly said:

"Hot, I'm sorry, what I said is indeed a bit complicated, forget it, you just reply: Captain Tian Kui save me!"

My sister immediately knocked on the bell wall with the vajra umbrella and responded.

After a few minutes, there was another short and rapid beating outside the bell, and my sister's expression was very puzzled, and she said:

"There is a lock in the clock, don't shovel."

I then asked:

"Sister, is this the end? Didn't you say save us right away? ”

My sister hurriedly hit with the King Kong umbrella for a while, and the people outside seemed to have disappeared, and there was no response for a long time.

The brother-in-law hurriedly said:

"Hot, is that all? Didn't say anything else? ”

My sister was also a little puzzled and said:

"Yes, these two sentences do not indicate that he wants to save us."

The brother-in-law pondered for a moment and said:

"I think he has already given us a way, and since he has the heart to help us, he will naturally save us out."

My brain suddenly warmed up and I asked my brother-in-law:

"Brother-in-law, I understand the word lock, it means organ, if there is a lock in the bell, does it mean that there is a mechanism in the bell?"

The brother-in-law nodded affirmatively and said:

"It should be, just not having a seizure for the time being. And he especially explained that he couldn't shovel, he had long expected that we would open the bluestone below, and then make a U-shaped hole out, so it should help us and find a way to save the three of us from the outside. ”

My sister was a little uneasy and said:

"Lao Wang, what if he is playing tricks?

Let's wait for a long time and see no movement, and we can't open the bluestone under our feet to escape independently, in case we delay our precious time, the ghost king mask will be preempted by that little slut!

I also suspect that the person who gave the signal outside may be the one who was crushed in this bell and scratched! Because he is tapping in a relatively low position, he is either squatting or has no legs! ”

After hearing this, I felt a little chill in my back, could it be that this legless old officer has lived in this dark underground palace for decades?

At the same time, I silently like my sister in my heart, I will only listen to ready-made, and my sister can grasp the small details while translating, and make a delicate analysis and judgment!

The brother-in-law said decisively:

"It's useless to think too much, in this way, a quarter of an hour is the boundary, if there is a response, wait, if there is no response, dig! There is a lock to unlock, and there is a tangling level! ”

My sister is very cautious and careful in doing things, and immediately looked at my watch to check the time, I think I can take advantage of this time to play with my sister's ultraviolet lamp, to see if my fingernails are also light green fluorescent, and said:

"Sister, from today onwards, I will definitely learn the nail spirit of Comrade Lei Feng, squeeze out time, and learn the relevant professional knowledge of the cultural industry chain, and I must not lose the face of our family again! While this is not busy, can you lend me that ultraviolet lamp for research? ”

My sister took it out and handed it to me.

Taking the UV hand lamp, I looked towards the scratch and found that something was wrong, the scratch was gone!
