Chapter 53: Ghost Ladder

The square groove was only twenty centimeters long and wide, and less than five centimeters deep. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was originally a groove, which was tightly blocked by the sedimentary sand, dust and soil, almost level with the ground, making it difficult for people to notice. Digging up the filled sand, dust and dirt, there was a trench about five centimeters wide in two directions, and the inner side was also sunken, as if it was used to jam something.

Cleaning all the way down this trench, a total of seven identical grooves were cleared, all of the same size. The other end of the trench is connected all the way to the base of the bronze square bean. Seven grooves are connected to form a special presence on the ground.

When the fat man saw this, he exclaimed, "My mother." What's this for? Can this thing move? ”

I looked at the base of the square bean, pulled it out hard, the square bean moved slightly with the groove, looked up at the fat man and emma, and made a look at the fat man, the fat man reached out and came over to help, one pulled and one pushed, the bronze square bean was pushed up the groove, where the original square bean base was, at this time a groove was exposed.

The shape of the groove is basically the same as the other seven, and everyone is deeply puzzled when they see this situation, why this situation occurs, and what does the eight grooves mean by this?

Emma looked down at the parchment for a long time, but shook her head, there was nothing but seven symbols on the parchment. The fat man proposed to push the bronze square beans onto those grooves and wait for a while to see if there was any reaction.

Emma and I lowered our heads and thought about it for a while, this is not a solution, we can try it first. So I let the fat man push in the back, and I pulled in the front, and Emma stood aside to observe if there was any change in Fang Dou.

The first groove was lowered, and only a click was heard, as if something was stuck, and then nothing happened. Everyone was puzzled, I tried to push Fang Dou back again, but there was no response at all, no matter how hard I tried with the fat man, Fang Dou didn't move back at all. I have to say that the surprise in my heart is beyond words. In other words, if we want to open the way of escape, we only have one chance, and there is no possibility of turning back.

The fat man was about to push forward and try again, but I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, study carefully, if we find the wrong way, we really can't get out." ”

If my previous guess was correct, the seven houses in the south are divided into wells, ghosts, willows, stars, zhangs, wings, and zhen, then what does that groove under the square bean represent? It seems that I have reached a dead end again, and Emma says that I should not only think about the stars, after all, this is underground, maybe it is gossip.

A quarter of an hour has passed quietly, and the bronze square beans are placed here, and there is no change. I said to the two of them: "Could it be that we are thinking too much, what else does this square bean need to touch when it is placed here, in order to play a role?" ”

The three of them carefully searched around the bronze square bean, and the inside of the square bean was also engraved with some strange hollow-shaped patterns, and the lines were very small, like cracks. Emma is worthy of being an archaeological expert, the sharp eyes are scary, the hollow zigzag extends from the middle to the periphery, if she hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would never have found it, one of which is a small crack, very cleverly hidden in the hollow pattern.

Emma said: "When I first saw this pattern, I thought it was wrong, but I didn't expect it to mean like this. ”

I reached out and pressed it on the hollow pattern, but there was no reaction, and the fat man said on the side: "You haven't put this thing in the right place, where will there be any reaction." ”

As soon as I thought about it, I beckoned the fat man to push the square bean together, the second, the third, and all the way to the sixth groove, no matter how hard I tried, the hollow pattern in the bean plate just didn't react. My back was already wet with cold sweat, and my mind was full of foreboding, and I guess the two of them were no better.

The last groove, the bronze square bean snapped and stuck on, and then I was about to reach out and press the pattern in the middle, but found that it fell down at some point, leaving only a hollow, and I looked inside with a flashlight, and the depth was only more than ten centimeters, and it was empty.

I looked at Emma puzzled, and she said that she guessed something was hidden here before and someone took it away, so that's why it was like this. I shook my head: "No, things have been taken away, how are we going to get out?" Are there any other hints on the parchment roll? ”

Emma shook her head, picked up a copper lock on the ground, threw it into the hole, and then took a flashlight to shine it, only to find that the copper lock was gone, leaving only an empty black hole, which looked extraordinarily flat inside, and there was nothing unusual to see.

The fat man exclaimed: "****, there is really a ghost, why is this thing gone?" ”

Emma was also blindfolded, as if no one expected that a good copper lock was thrown in, and it disappeared quietly. With that, I took out a glow stick, lit it up and stuffed it in, and the glow stick easily poked the otherwise flat hole into it, without the slightest resistance, as if it were facing the air.

I was startled at first, but then I thought of something and told him about it. I remember playing a play when I was a child, a toothpick in my hand, or tied together with a rubber band, and then printed on the toothpick with a coin at one end of the toothpick, the result is naturally that the coin is swallowed by the toothpick, if the toothpick and the coin texture are the same, then the coin and the toothpick will melt together, just look at one end can not tell which is the toothpick, which is the coin.

The fat man disagreed: "That's, then you can explain to me how this thing bounced back?" You stick a glow stick in, how come there is no resistance? ”

I said, "Let you read, you prefer to herd the cow, I said that this is just a metaphor, although I don't know the principle of his floating, but I believe that the principle of its fall should be the same as what I said." Commander Duan, what do you think? ”

Emma also tried like me, but she did take the Vajra umbrella, and the result was indeed the same, as soon as the vajra umbrella was withdrawn, the place that should have been sunken was restored to leveling. Emma looked at me puzzled and asked, "How do you know?" Don't tell me it's a game you played as a kid, and you'll be able to fool him. ”

Seeing a woman say this about him, where is the fat man willing to do it, he was about to open his mouth to argue, but I stopped him: "What Miss Duan said is right, don't you believe it?" I've read about this mechanism in books, and it used to be a special kind of mechanism, designed to scare off the enemy, not to kill people. For a moment I couldn't remember what it was called, and I couldn't remember why it floated, so..."

"So you made a childhood analogy? It's so unreliable, I've heard of what you said - the ghost ladder. Emma said yes, and I nodded hurriedly.

I asked her again, "Commander Duan, what does this thing have to do with us finding a way to survive?" ”

Her answer made everyone stunned, and they shook their heads blankly: "I don't know." ”

The fat man kicked on the bronze square bean and scolded, "Damn, you don't have to swim us out of the water." ”

Fang Dou tilted slightly to the side under the fat man's full strength, and I hurriedly called the two of them to come and see: "Little fatty, your mouth is not a good thing, and your hands are not easy to move, you should chop it, just this pair of feet can still be used." ”

Let the fat man follow me and turn the square bean in the direction of its tilt, clicking... With the sound, the square bean was also turned little by little. The fat man was delighted in his heart: "I didn't expect a square thing to be able to turn, it's really rare." ”

As Fang Dou turned, something seemed to be shaking on the ground, and seven stone pillars rose from the seven square grooves in the ground, and there was something strange in the pillars. I yelled at the fat man, "Little Fatty, pull Mr. An over." ”

At this time, it was too late to turn the bronze square bean back, so I hurriedly ran to the fat man with the sapper shovel in my hand and stood guard with Emma holding the vajra umbrella. Out of nowhere crawled out of the seven grooves on the ground, seven extremely disgusting monsters, covered in thorns, like centipedes, with a hundred legs, their whole body was earthy yellow, and there were two long whiskers on their heads, and they couldn't see their eyes or mouths.

As if they could smell us, they rushed straight towards us, seven big monsters, and everyone instantly cheered up 120,000 points.

A monster pounced on me head-on, and when it took off, it was full of snow-white skin, and it looked even more disgusting, and when it saw it approaching, it picked up the shovel and slapped it with all the strength of its arms.

There was a loud bang, and the thing was shot three or four meters away, and my face became even more solemn at this time, and I really couldn't be happy. The fat man's situation was not much better than mine, and when he slashed down with a bronze sword, the tiger's mouth was about to crack, and the thing was just knocked away, but it was unharmed.

Emma is holding a Vajra umbrella in her hand, and there is a hidden mechanism on the tip of this Vajra umbrella, which turns into a spear spur when released, which is unusually sharp, and the wings are also a sharp knife when they rotate.

When the monster pounced, Emma let out a spear and stabbed forward, and the monster was lying on the umbrella and struggling, as if it was about to bite the King Kong umbrella at any moment, and I looked down to see that something was dripping on the ground. I took the opportunity to take a look at the flashlight, and I didn't know when there was some dark green liquid on the ground. (To be continued.) )
