King Zhuang's Curse Chapter 26: Xuanhuang Centrifugal Cave (5)
"It seems that these are their last words written in a panic!" Cousin said. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Everyone studied together for a long time, and they could basically see the general idea, it was written that the people who were killed by them before came to the cave to seek revenge on them, and there was no way to escape, so they could only use the remaining tailings from the previous air-raid shelter to build the wall, and the back was full of unfinished tasks, sorry for the party-state and the like.
I laughed and said, "If there are really powerful ghosts seeking revenge, they will be given time to build this wall, obviously they are crazy, have illusions, and suffocate to death in the wall built by their own hands, it is really self-inflicted!" β
"yes!" The cousin also smiled, "But they are quite dedicated, and they don't forget to express their shame for the party-state before they die!" β
"Haha!"
However, after laughing, everyone was disappointed again, thinking that opening the wall would reveal some useful clues, but nothing turned out, and even the fact that they had delusional disorder was only certain because we had just experienced it.
We don't dare to go to the entrance of this air-raid shelter again, we searched all the corners of the cave, there are no clues about Xuanhuang Palace at all, and there is no secret passage, it is just an ordinary air-raid shelter, otherwise those two spies would not be trapped here.
"Before we came in, we found an arched stone slab at the entrance of the cave, could it be that the North Palace was destroyed when the air-raid shelter was built?" Song Ming wondered.
"Quite possibly!"
What Song Ming said was exactly what everyone was thinking, because the location of this air-raid shelter happened to be the North Palace marked on the map.
I looked at the little bell beside me and said with a smile: "Smart little princess, help you analyze where Beigong is?" β
In fact, I didn't say this to ridicule, but sincerely, I have been with Xiao Bell for so long, I have seen too much of her smart mind, otherwise I would not have been sent to Luoyang No. 1 High School in the second year of junior high school.
"Okay!" The little bell was not modest at all, "We are in the North Palace!" β
"......," I was speechless, "isn't that what we guessed......"
"It's different!"
"What's different?"
"This bomb shelter did not destroy the North Palace, but redecorated it!"
After the little bell finished speaking, he smiled at us, looking triumphant.
Song Ming suddenly slapped his head and said loudly, "That's right! It's so smart, how could I not have thought of it! β
"What?" The blind man asked.
"The entrance to this air-raid shelter is semicircular, and the passage is so narrow, it is unreasonable, it should be that the underground palace was discovered during the construction of the cave, and it was directly modified on this basis in order to save trouble." Song Ming said.
Song Ming looked at the entrance of the cave and said: "And there is another very important reason, these six underground palaces all have one thing in common, that is, it is easy to enter and difficult to get out!" β
"Don't say these useless, no matter where it is in the North Palace, it's the right thing to find a way to break this mechanism, and the puzzle will naturally be solved!" Cousin said.
There is nothing at the mouth of this bomb shelter, but it can make people have illusions, as if there are ghosts guarding it, and people in the past will be possessed, of course, this is just a metaphor, there must be a doorway in it.
Everyone couldn't think of a reason for breaking their heads, so they had to focus all their eyes on the little bell.
"Genius girl, let's analyze and analyze it for everyone......"
"Okay!" Little Bell was still not modest at all, "Let me think about it...... Well...... The teacher said that when you encounter a problem, you must first find the contradiction. β
"Where is the contradiction?" I wondered.
"The contradiction lies in the workers who built the air-raid shelter, to decorate such a large underground palace, they always have to go in and out to get tools and materials, how did they do it?"
"yes......"
When we heard the little bell say this, we were even more confused, since the workers can enter and exit this North Palace, why can't we?
Little Bell smiled proudly: "It's actually very simple! β
"Hurry up, I'm dying!" The blind man scratched his head and said.
"This means that when they first came, the cave was free to enter and exit!"
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as we heard the little bell say this, we were all speechless again, but then we all suddenly became enlightened, because everyone thought of what was written in the spy notebook.
At first, we thought that the reason why the agents killed people was to hide their identities, but this was simply impossible, and the workers would not know their identities and secret missions just by building a bomb shelter. The only reason for killing people is that they have discovered another secret, most likely the secret of Xuanhuang Palace.
The little bell continued: "This shows that this mechanism was not designed by the ancients at all! β
"What?!"
Little Bell's words are incredible, but her reasoning is seamless. Something even more terrible suddenly occurred to me, isn't it......
The little bell seemed to see through my thoughts, looked at me with his eyes and said, "According to this logic, the spies did not kill the workers at all, but the workers killed these two spies." β
Everyone is silent, yes, June 1945 is the time of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party must have a war, whoever can win the hearts of the people can win, and the Chinese soldiers are not Japanese devils, how can they kill ordinary people? And we see the fact that two servicemen died in the hole. After the book wrote about the killing of the worker, there was no follow-up, and it should have been a fantasy at that time.
Song Ming lit a cigarette and said slowly: "In this way, the truth of the matter should be that the two spies asked the nearby villagers to help build an air-raid shelter to carry out a secret mission called 'fishing net', but they were used by the villagers and poisoned. β
"Yes!" The cousin took Song Ming's words and said, "This villager may have been recommended by Mao Sui, and he just used the construction of an air-raid shelter for officers as a cover to steal underground treasures." This group of people should be veterans of digging holes, and they have long discovered the secrets here, and the situation was turbulent during the Anti-Japanese War, and there were no conditions to start construction. β
The blind man took his cousin's words again: "They broke the mechanism of the Xuanhuang Palace and took away the treasures, fearing that the officers would find out the secret and the matter would be exposed, so they set up a mechanism at the entrance of the cave and killed the officers." β
The ideas were all sorted out at once, and the plot was simply a 180-degree reversal.
I couldn't help but tease the little bell: "It's a pity that you are not a detective, you are simply a modern version of Di Renjie!" β
"That's it!" The blind man also coaxed, "It's a good expedition, and our little bell has turned it into a crime-solving activity, haha!" β
Little Bell squinted and smiled silly.
"There is still such a master in Yingzhuang Village......" Song Ming frowned and muttered to himself on the side.
The cousin smiled: "Haha, you are a little older than us, we haven't been reincarnated in 1945, how do you know if there are masters!" β
Song Ming said disdainfully: "Your uncle and I have been on the road for so many years, from the Republic of China to the present, I know the family that can hold up the faΓ§ade, not to mention that the person who can crack this Xuanhuang Palace must not be an idle person!" β
"Tell me who did this?"
Song Ming didn't speak, his brows deepened, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"What do you think?" I asked curiously.
"Could it be ......" Song Ming suddenly raised his voice and said, "I see!" I should have thought of it a long time ago! β
"What the hell did you think?" We asked together.
"There are seven evil spirit disks buried in the ground of this cave."
"Seven Evil Spirit Disks? What is it? β
"It is a cleverly designed trap box, which contains an air bag made of seven materials, such as sandalwood, rootless grass, and oil snake flowers, and the gas it volatilizes can make people fantasize at least and bleed to death at worst.
The clever design of the Seven Evil Spirits Disc is that it only releases gas if one of its sides is stressed first, and only requires very little force.
It is a product of the Qing Dynasty and was used at the entrance to the imperial tomb to prevent tomb robbers from entering, and in order to show respect for the emperor's soul, it did not release poisonous gas when leaving the tomb.
This is exactly what is buried in the mouth of this bomb shelter, but it has been reversed. β
"You know a lot, you must have suspected this, right?" Said cousin.
"Yes, the Seven Demon Spirit Plate is from the Qing Dynasty, and I always thought that the mechanism of this cave was from the Han Dynasty, so I denied it."
"How do you know so much?" I wondered.
"Because...... There is only one of the Seven Demon Disks in the world at the moment, and it is something that my father has! β
"What? You say your father buried it here? "I felt incredible.
"Most likely, I have seen the detailed account and origin of this object in my father's notes during his lifetime."
The cousin said half-jokingly: "You old Song family doesn't have a good thing!" β
What my cousin said is indeed right, Song Ming is now a bully, and his son Song Guoqiang actually killed two officers for treasures, and there must be a father and a son.
Song Ming was angry all of a sudden: "You kid will keep your mouth clean in the future, you don't want to be like you young people!" β
The cousin didn't buy it either, and yelled at Song Ming: "You dare to say that it's not? If you're not mistaken, you were the one who reported Little Bell's father, right? It's because we don't want to be like you! β
Little Bell's face sank suddenly, and I pulled my cousin and motioned for him to stop talking.
Song Ming was stunned suddenly, looked at the little bell, and his eyes were round: "You are Captain Li's daughter?" β
The little bell didn't speak, Song Ming stepped forward and hugged the little bell, and was pushed away by the little bell.
The atmosphere was quite embarrassing, and the blind man relieved the siege and said: "Our first task now is to find Yuhuang, and then go out, and the previous grievances will be solved when we go back!" β
What he never expected was that Song Ming actually cried, his lips moved, and he choked up: "It's me who is sorry for you, sorry for Captain Li......"
My cousin was a little overwhelmed, obviously regretting what he had just said. Originally, Little Bell didn't know about it, and Song Ming didn't know Little Bell's identity, so everyone could cooperate happily. Just because of his impulsive words, it is not good for anyone to let this improvised team collapse.
The little bell, who had been silent, softened his heart and said lightly: "Why did you report him?" β
"Because...... This is what Captain Lee meant. β
"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you dare to do it? My cousin was still a little angry.
Song Ming sighed and said, "Young man, there are some things that shouldn't have been known to you, but now there is nothing to hide." I'll tell you the truth......"
"Can you stop talking about the past? Don't want to hear it! It doesn't make sense either! I'm doing well now! Very happy! The little bell clutched her ears and shouted loudly.
For the first time in so many years, I saw Little Bell angry. In my impression, there is only a smile on her face, like a spring blooming flower. It turns out that deep in her heart, she has always hidden her pain and missed her father.
Song Ming immediately closed his mouth, he completely ignored Little Bell's feelings just now, forgetting that when Captain Li left, Little Bell was only three years old, and revisiting the old thing was tantamount to slashing at the wound she had just healed.
"Alright, don't talk about it anymore!"
Seeing Little Bell so angry, I couldn't help but burst into foul mouth. patted the little bell and comforted: "Let's focus on the overall situation now, it's okay, it's all over." β
The little bell was close to me, silent, hot tears soaking my shirt and burning my heart.
The matter subsided like this, and no one mentioned it again after that, and the cooperation continued as usual, but Song Ming cared more about Little Bell and protected her everywhere, although Little Bell didn't appreciate it.
Since the original mechanism of Beigong has been broken by Song Ming's father, then Yuhuang must have been taken away by his father, and his father had died a few years ago, so he could only wait for this air-raid shelter and let Song Ming go to his hometown to find Yuhuang's whereabouts.
Everyone discussed that since it would only be triggered under pressure, as long as they didn't step on the area at the entrance of the cave. Song Ming took the lead, retreated to the back, then accelerated and ran, jumped out, and really succeeded. I picked up the little bell on my back, jumped hard, and got out of the bomb shelter, and then the blind man and my cousin also jumped out.
Such a simple mechanism, but it has trapped us for so long, it can really be said that the simpler the thing, the more confusing.
But then again, we should also thank Song Ming's father, if he hadn't broken the original mechanism, we would definitely encounter more dangerous things. What the original mechanism was like has been buried deep underground with the departure of the deceased, and it will forever become a mystery.
On the way back, I had something in my heart that I didn't understand, when I went out of the bomb shelter for the first time with Little Bell and Song Ming, since Song Ming triggered the mechanism and released poisonous gas, why was only Song Ming hallucinating, I and Little Bell were fine, the three of us were close to each other at that time, so close.
Maybe the agency has another way, or maybe it's something else. If I don't think about things, I don't think about them, and I often comfort myself like this.
At the same time, the four ghosts of the north are undergoing a real test, because those four underground palaces have never been excavated, and no one knows what lies ahead.
