Chapter 40

In the faint candlelight, the four of us held our breath, and the old clam slowly stretched out his hand, touched the stone Xun in the hand of the Diao Chan stone carving directly opposite the stone pillar, and then withdrew his hand as if he was electrocuted: "I'm damn!" So sharp, bleeding all! ”

The old clam said as he shoved his fingers into his mouth and sucked them, and then slowly retreated step by step according to the approximate distance he had just calculated.

At this moment, we heard a real music in our ears!

"Click!" "Poof!"

Then two successive sounds came with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, the old clam really stepped on a piece of masonry, and a feathered arrow also jumped out of the stone pillar in front of him, and pressed it against his chest.

"Alas, it's not good to be fat!" The old clam was appointed, too, for he was a lap stronger than me, and the feathered arrow had almost pierced his clothes.

"It's the voice of the law of business." The Seventh Master said: "If you come in order, Xiao Gu, what you heard just now should be the voice of the palace law." ”

I nodded: "And then?" ”

The Seventh Master stopped talking, and stood in the dark with a frown, as if thinking about something. I looked at the old clam and smiled bitterly, now it's okay, I've experimented, and even the old clam has come in, but I don't know how to crack it yet!

"Eight stone pillars, five-rhythm music...... The seventh master seemed to have a clue suddenly, and looked at the two rows of stone pillars on the left and right: "Is it the Four Elements Yin and Yang Array?" ”

"What is the Four Elements Yin and Yang Array?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's an infantry formation created by Cao Mengde." The seventh master explained: "It was used in several battles, and was later written into his own book of the art of war by Cao Mengde, but later Cao Mengde woke up like a big dream, suddenly broke away from the mortal dust, and burned all the military books he wrote, and the four elements of the yin and yang array were lost, but the descendants still based on the description of this array in the books written by others during the Three Kingdoms period, and probably recovered." ”

Qi Ye said and pointed to the wooden chair on the high platform opposite: "The four elements of the yin and yang array, the flag platform, that is, the command platform, should be in that position, the so-called four elements, not four of the five elements, but the shield, sword, gun, bow four infantry arms, divided into eight teams, two by two corresponding, the formation is opened, it can be like a mirror image to confuse the enemy, can also be staggered in twos and twos, confusing the enemy, according to the flag language, it can be divided into about four four hundred and sixteen small formations, in Cao Mengde's art of war, it can also be regarded as a high-level art of war." ”

Well, I just touched the stone pillar, but I learned a set of art of war!

"So, what now?" Asako listened to the wood on the side, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"If it's really the Four Elements Yin and Yang Array, among these eight stone pillars, there will be two pairs of the same four pairs of rhythms, I think, as long as you find them all, it is estimated that you will be able to unlock the mechanism of the two of them." The seventh master said.

"That's not right!" I shook my head: "Take my palace law as an example, if you find the next palace law, open the mechanism, and turn off my mechanism, but what will you do?" Am I going to step on it again to save you? Isn't this an infinite loop? ”

"There are two possibilities." The Seventh Master's face became serious: "First, when all four pairs of music are found, or when only another palace law is found, the front palace law mechanism is lifted, and the latter one is activated, and one of them will die." Second, if all four pairs are found without touching the mechanism, it is possible to open the final mechanism, that is, the high platform, and when the last mechanism is opened, it will either be okay or still die of the two. ”

No way! This mechanism is too fierce, isn't it? I instantly remembered the movie "Chainsaw" that made me want to stop, and it was completely the way inside! However, after thinking about it, I was relieved again: "There are not enough people here at all, even if you add the cloth bag monk and Liang Ruoyi, there are only six people, how can you touch the eight stone pillars?" ”

"Let's try it first." The Seventh Master did not hesitate at all: "According to the formation method of the Four Elements Yin and Yang Array, it should be parallel to each other, no matter what music Xiao Gu heard just now, the stone pillar behind you should correspond to your stone pillar." This time, I'll give it a try. ”

The pockmark on the side wanted to speak and stopped, I know, this bastard now regrets why he didn't test in front of the old clam just now, now it's okay, the further back it is, the more dangerous it is......

I'm happy in my heart, but I'm still worried about whether there will be a problem with the seventh master.

The seventh master himself lit a flashlight, looked at the stone pillar behind me, and then calculated the distance with his steps, and reached out and slowly touched it......

A few seconds later, we heard the third sound, which, as the Seventh Master thought, was Gong Lu. Then, the Seventh Master also stepped on a stone, and a feather arrow was on his chest.

All the speculations are the same as what the seventh master thinks, the only difference is - damn, the mechanism in front of me has not been lifted!

"This ......," the old clam was about to cry.

The seventh master didn't speak, now it's okay, except for Mazi, the three of us can't move.

"Seventh Master, what should I do?" I couldn't help but ask.

"In this case, it's probably the second possibility, and we can only crack these mechanisms if we step on all eight stones." The seventh master looked at Mazi: "Mazi, it's up to you now." It's not a weighing mechanism, as long as something pushes it down! ”

Mazi nodded: "I'll look for it." ”

Five minutes later, Asako found a few things: my military kettle, his weighted Nokia phone, the hoop on the rope, and ...... Puppy Strongman!

"Okay, then, start with the pillar behind the old clam!" The seventh master said.

Mazi nodded, according to what the Seventh Master said, starting from the stone pillar behind the old clam: touch the stone Xun in the hand of Diao Chan in the carving, and then step back three feet away, and put my military kettle on the ground!

"Hmm-" There was a sound of music, and then the feathered arrows in the pillar burst out and settled there!

"Damn! It worked! The old clam let out a sigh of relief, and I clenched my fists: after all, if I died here like this, it would be unjust!

In the next ten minutes, Mazi got out the feather arrow of the seventh stone pillar, and as the seventh master said, the five laws are opposite each other, and the last two stone pillars are the signs, and on that high platform, it should be the last feather law.

When Mazi was about to touch the last stone pillar, the seventh master suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop it! ”

The three of us were all stunned, turned our heads to look at the seventh master, and saw that the seventh master in the light was already full of sweat: "Seventh master, what's wrong?" ”

"I forgot one thing...... "The Seventh Master said, "This is a tomb, not a battlefield. The Four Elements Yin and Yang Array is not for fighting, but for guarding against tomb robbers. If this last stone pillar mechanism is opened, maybe not all the traps will stop, but all of them will be triggered, and none of the four of us will be left, all of us will die here! ”
