Chapter 50: The Stone Gate Puzzle
There are two stone lions on each side of the stone gate, but they are not looking straight ahead, as we usually do at the door of our house, but look at each other, as if they are watching the people entering the door. There is a square tripod in front of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info door, and there are two stone pillars on both sides of the tripod, and there are candles inside. It's more spacious, so we took off the plastic bag on our head and straightened our hair, because it was already uncomfortable to carry it.
"How do you open this door? You don't need to take Li Bufan's potion. ”
"The structure of this stone gate and the diamond wall is different, and there is no way to soften it."
The sea pushed the stone gate with his hand in disappointment, and the stone gate did not move at all. At this time, Sister Li put down her backpack and took out a flat iron rod from it and told the sea to stand back.
"Of course you can't push it open, because there is a doorkeeper behind the door, and there is a small rectangular slot in the stone slab floor in the middle of the threshold, and in this groove there is a gravity-dependent device, which is the doorkeeper. The top door is rectangular, the rear end of the device is weighted with real lead, the middle crosses a circular axis, the two ends of the shaft are inserted on both sides of the groove, due to the relationship between the front and the back, the rear end sags, and the front end is warped out of the ground. When the door is closed from the inside to the outside, the front end of the top door device is pressed down, and after closing, the front end of the top door device is naturally warped again, and the double door is resisted, and it can not be pushed open from the outside to the inside, and its design is quite scientific. At the top of the doorway near the lintel, a rectangular groove was also chiseled on the left and right, and there was originally a device such as a wooden tenon to resist the upper part of the two doors, but the wooden tenon had decayed and no longer existed. These are all protective devices to prevent tomb robbers from entering the tomb. ”
It seems that Sister Li has studied physical science quite a bit, and after speaking, she used an iron rod to scratch from the bottom to the top of the crack at the bottom of the door.
"Hey, it's strange that this tomb door doesn't have a door topper!"
After saying that, he patted it with his hand again.
"Sister Li, don't move! This is not a simple stone gate, and it is not easy to get a mechanism. ”
Listening to Li Bufan's words, Sister Li also found the clue and reminded everyone not to touch the things around her. Li Bufan shone a flashlight on this stone gate and observed these irregular brick carvings, "Do you think this stone gate statue is not like a thing?" ”
"Four-five puzzles!" I broke it down. In fact, I already felt like it when I saw it at first sight, but I didn't say it through Sister Li's analysis.
"Puzzles? yes, why didn't I remember, I'm an expert in puzzles. ”
Sister Li suddenly realized, but then looked at the stone door and frowned, "There is an empty gap in the puzzle, and these twenty bricks are all paved, how to scratch it, is it difficult to tear it down?" ”
"It's easy to dismantle and hard to put together, if we can't find the last brick, we can't remove it, and if it takes too long to put together or if we put it wrong, it will cause a trap."
"Hey, Sister Mengying, you know this better than me."
"Fortunately, I've dealt with the door before, unlike my sister, you travel around and don't like to interact with other people."
The two sisters chimed in, and I coughed, "Let's get down to business." Li Bufan had already looked at the door, to be honest, the patterns on these twenty bricks were not particularly different, and it was even more difficult to find the last brick from them.
"Didn't you find the first brick of the King Kong Wall when you were looking for it before, not to mention that there are brick carvings on this stone door, it shouldn't be difficult for you."
Sister Li is still more optimistic about Li Bufan. Li Bufan didn't respond, he was still concentrating on observing, and all of us were involved. "You don't have to look for it, it's the one on the left and the four on the right." The second one on the left was a fourth brick, and I saw that its brick carving was simpler than the others, "You already know why you have been observing for so long?" ”
"Do you think I've been observing which one will be removed first, I'm keeping these twenty bricks in mind, and saving time when the time comes."
Sister Li gave Li Bufan a thumbs up, and then placed the four copper hooks on the four corners of the brick, tied the rope, for the sake of safety, when Sister Li pulled sharply at the far end of our runway, the stone brick fell to the ground with a "bang", great, this is this, put it aside, and we began to work to remove the other nineteen bricks on it.
"Do you really remember clearly?"
Sister Li was still a little worried, and Li Bufan said two words seriously: "Let's dismantle it." ”
Since the most important brick has been forcibly removed by us, the other nineteen have been easily removed by us, not so much as to take them. When the last brick is removed, the four sides of the door start to make a sound, and the mechanism system has been activated! We're going to have to hurry up and put the stone gate together, we were going to put these bricks together below, but now it doesn't seem like we're allowed to do that, there's no shelter around us, and we're going to die if we send out a mechanism on all sides.
"Sister Li, you have studied the puzzle, so then you will help me install it on the door one by one according to my password, and I am still a little worried about the others."
So Sister Li took the first brick that Li Bufan took out and stood in front of the door, "One vertical three on the left, three vertical four on the left, one vertical one on the left, one vertical ...... on the left" Li Bufan's password, Sister Li is not in a hurry to pretend, Sister Li is tall, so it is not difficult to install, the main thing is that the psychological quality is good, it is easy to get distracted in the face of the mechanism, and we may die here if we press the wrong step, but I pinch a sweat even more Li Bufan, twenty bricks, not only to examine memory but also to examine discernment, Li Bufan is really not simple, These are characteristics of his that I have never seen before.
Time is passing second by second, I have seen that the arrows have been exposed in the holes around the ding, it seems that this mechanism is this hidden weapon, I quickly took out the King Kong umbrella and blocked it in front, and asked Lin Mengying to quickly stand on this side, although the umbrella is not big, but how much can it block.
"Left two, vertical four." Finally, under Li Bufan's last command, Sister Li pressed the last brick, the time was just right, and it is estimated that the consequences will be unimaginable later. But Li Bufan and Sister Li didn't notice the existence of the hidden weapon, it seems that both of their attention is on the stone gate, fortunately, there is no need to be distracted by this. At this time, Sister Li breathed a sigh of relief, and it could be seen that Sister Li was also very nervous in her heart, and now she can finally take a break, they cooperate well, if you change to the sea, you can't tell your hands to tremble, you will pretend to be wrong.
"Look at the ...... on this stone gate."
Listening to the trembling tone of the sea, I looked at the stone gate, and the brick carvings formed a picture, on which was carved a vicious grimace, and on it there were four words written in italics: "Death to trespassers!" ”
