Chapter 35: The Ghost of Tai Chi
"What was found next to that group of people was probably some kind of engineering structure drawing. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," said Longan.
The three of them spread out the map, squatted on the ground and carefully identified it, the map was drawn by hand, the craftsmanship was very exquisite, and even the lines on it were divided into thicknesses, and many places were marked in red, and there was an English introduction next to it.
"This? Is it a hand-drawn structural drawing of the entire underground palace? Longyan exclaimed.
Looking at the lines of the Styx Sea and Black Rock Island above, and even the internal structure of Black Rock Island are extremely finely outlined, it can be seen how meticulous the cartographer's attitude towards life and work is, and in the lower right corner of the map is signed with a very thin black pen The name of a person, Bill Wilson (Bill Wilson).
"It's him! A famous American adventurer of the 19th century, the only survivor who once crossed Bermuda! Unexpectedly, he died here. Longyan couldn't help but exclaim.
The fat man said disapprerovingly: "Look at you? Isn't it okay to pee here? Take a look at what he's drawing on this picture. ”
At this point we are at the very bottom of the island, because the most obvious fat man in this structure, the so-called Erlang God statue, is clearly marked on the map, because Bill depicts a miniature statue very carefully on the map.
"What is this? The most words are written here! What do you see? The fat man pointed to a place next to the stone chamber.
The fat man refers to a sign like a runner valve, with a line of small print in English next to it.
"The curse of the King of Mourning, the ghost of the lamplight, break free from your shadow and get rid of the endless reincarnation!" Longan translated word by word.
The fat man scolded angrily: "This foreign old man is also a god stick!" What kind of bullshit ghost, scaring Lao Tzu? ”
Longyan ignored him and said to me, "According to the markings on the map, this thing should be over there, five hundred meters away from here." ”
I looked intently, and it was still pitch black five meters away, let alone five hundred meters, so I asked, "Go and see?" ”
Longyan nodded, so the two of them got up together and walked forward cautiously, the fat man didn't know what he was thinking, and found that we were far away, and hurriedly shouted loudly, and ran towards us, for fear that some treasure would leave his share.
The same darkness, empty darkness, and no wheel valve marked on the map, the three of them simply searched the surrounding 100 meters, but still did not find any buildings like valves.
"Alas! This fucking gringo, I'll just say he's a god, and you see you still treat him like a god! This time, how many years have people been dead, and they have been successfully shaken. The fat man complained, and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
At the moment when the fat man sat down, he only heard a click, as if something was crushed by his big fat buttocks, and the fat man screamed in pain, and hurriedly stood up and kept rubbing the painful buttocks.
"What the hell! It hurts Lao Tzu to death! Who the fuck put a rock here? Grandma's! The fat man cursed.
Longyan and I couldn't help but look down at the culprit who made the fat man curse, it was a raised stone, the size of a palm, the bottom of the stone was rounded, and the top was slightly sharp, which was why the fat man cried out in pain.
"Alas! This thing seems to move? The dragon's eye reached out and pressed the stone embedded in the ground.
This pattern! How is it so familiar? I didn't look back to the other side, and I saw another stone of the same kind on the ground, round and inlaid in the stone face.
"Huh? Is this Tai Chi? "Longyan also found another raised stone.
At this time, the three of them realized that we were standing on a carved Tai Chi pattern, and the two stones that the fat man sat on and I found were the two fish eyes of Tai Chi, one black and one white.
"Let's hold these two stones at the same time and see what happens!" I said to the fat man.
With a crisp click, the fat man and I pressed the Tai Chi Eye almost at the same time, and ten minutes passed, but it didn't activate any mechanism or open a door to the outside world as I expected.
"That's not right! This is supposed to be the place marked on Bill's drawings, but how can nothing happen? Could it be that the mechanism has fallen into disrepair and broken? I said to myself.
The fat man gloated and said, "I'll just say that guy is a god!" What my old Zhang said was often the same thing. ”
Longyan glanced at him and said: "Since he deliberately marked it, it should have his purpose, but it is obviously a Tai Chi pattern, why should it be painted as a runner valve?" ”
Runner valve! Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, that's it, this Tai Chi pattern is not carved on the stone surface, but inlaid inside, and it can rotate freely.
The fat man and I pressed the fisheye at the same time again, and then pushed the Tai Chi forward clockwise, and it actually moved, and it seemed to touch the machine spring below, making a rattling sound, and waited for ten minutes, and there was still no response.
With the sound of rattling reeds, this time I simply pushed the Tai Chi pattern forward until it was completely stuck, and it turned a full 360 degrees.
"Oops! This fucking thing, it's pretty heavy! I'm exhausted! First brother, do you think there will be a monster or something out of here? Maybe the guy on the radio is the guy who is sending us the signal here. The fat man, as always, made sensational remarks.
I also feel a little bottomless when he says this, in case he really gets it right, there is really a guy who can speak human words under this mechanism, not only the three of us, I'm afraid that the outside will all suffer together.
Longyan snorted coldly and said, "Are you wrong to read the novel, I think you are like the thing that is locked underneath!" ”
As soon as her words fell, it seemed that the fat man had said it, only to hear a slight sound from under the Tai Chi pattern, the sound was very soft, as if something was frequently gently scratching the ground with its fingernails.
"! Flash! The fat man exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped aside, holding the gun tightly in his hands with both hands.
The atmosphere became more depressing for a while, and I even regretted my recklessness a little, if it was really as Bill marked, what kind of curse of the King of Wailing, what kind of ghost, I believe that the fate of the three of us will definitely not be better than that of the group of Americans and Yao Xiwen.
I tried my best to suppress my fear, tried to calm my breathing, and gently pressed my ear to the Tai Chi pattern, because I knew that if there was any danger, Suo Lingyan would have foreseen it.
Rustle rustle...... The strange sound grew louder and louder, until finally it could be heard without touching the ground, the sound was like a call from hell, deeply stimulating everyone's tense nerves, and for a while, in addition to the sound of clattering heartbeats, only the heavy panting sound of the three people could be heard.
