Chapter Twenty-Six: Fishing for People
I patrolled back and forth between the three bridges with a flashlight, squatting and trying to make the light as large as possible to the center of the white jade arch bridge, but the distance was too far, and the surface of the white jade bridge was warm and reflective, so I couldn't see the details at all, let alone find any clues to the mechanism.
Of the three of us, he is the best in nature, and if he really wants to try the mechanism, he seems to be the only one.
But this is too dangerous, I feel a little anxious, and I said in my heart: Did Zhou Xuanye really enter this ancient tomb? He and Ke Xiangu don't understand the mechanism either, how did they get in? Could it be that Tan Jian made a mistake?
I think this has to be clarified, otherwise it's not worth taking such a risk for the wrong goal.
At this moment, my voice couldn't make a sound for a while, so I took out a pen and paper from the equipment bag and wrote out my intentions, Tan Jian looked at it, stared at the dark place opposite Bai Yuqiao very certainly, and said in a deep voice: "It's not wrong, they went to the tomb, just in front." "I have seen Tan Jian's kung fu to find people, whether it is looking for Gu Xin, whether I fell into that dry well in the desert, or later looking for the bones of those expeditionary troops hidden in tree holes, Tan Jian has never missed.
Therefore, seeing his affirmative expression now, I can clear out some distractions. Since it is certain that Zhou Xuanye is in front, then we have to go over no matter what, but we have to minimize the danger.
In order to prevent accidents, I took out the rope from my bag, motioned for nature to stay on my waist, and then wrote on the paper: Be vigilant, if there is any accident, we will pull you back as quickly as possible.
The reason for this protection is because I know that although I don't know what the black paint under this jade bridge is, it is definitely not used by the tomb owner as an ornament.
If there really is a trap, in that cramped environment, there is a high chance of falling when dodging the trap. At this moment, we can only use our imagination to prepare, and only the rope is the safest.
After doing all this, he walked towards the jade bridge without a hurry with a sickle in his hand. His expression was still calm, but his pace was slower than usual, and I could feel the natural tension of my nerves.
Soon, he walked to the center of the jade bridge, squatted down, and slowly rubbed the surroundings of the jade bridge with his hands, and Tan Jian and I stood sideways, staring nervously at the natural stupid movements. I saw that his hand first groped carefully on the surface of the jade bridge for a while, and it seemed that he had no gain, and finally he had to turn around, half-kneel on the ground, and bend down to probe his hand to the back of the jade bridge. This posture, which makes his head down and his hands down, is certainly not a comfortable position, and if there is any danger, this posture is also very inconvenient to sit out and react.
The people who set up the agency are really amazing, and eighty percent of them thought of this and did it on purpose.
Just when Tan Jian and I were worried, Tianda seemed to have something to gain, and the arm that had been probing and moving suddenly stopped, and then he said: "I found it, there are two, which one to choose?" ”
I know this kind of mechanism, in fact, the principle is very simple, but there are some simple things, it is difficult to deal with in a different environment. When I was in the Yumen Secret Palace, because of the dense institutions in the Secret Palace, Jiang Xi also explained something to us at that time.
The two organs that the natural stay is talking about at the moment,One has actually been in a state of readiness,If the uninformed person walks over directly,Vainly trying to pass through the opposite side,Then this mechanism will be launched directly,The remaining one is the hub,This kind of mechanism is relatively simple,People who understand it can find it at once,But natural stay and we don't understand,So suddenly fell into the problem of choosing one of the two。
If you choose the wrong one, you will trigger the mechanism in advance, and if you don't do it, it will be closed.
According to the description of the natural daz, the mechanism is separated from each other, only less than ten centimeters or so, and he asked which one to choose, and I was stumped. At this time, Tan Jian said slowly: "Wait a minute." ”
From the small bag he carried with him, he found the cup for divination, Tan Jian rarely used this thing, in his words, the real divination is not what is used, but the ability of the caster. In addition to receiving work on weekdays, this person rarely divination, I understand this, because divination is such a thing, there are too many leaks of heavenly secrets, and there will be karmic retribution if you do this often.
Tan Jian occasionally divined a hexagram, and he also used coins instead, and rarely took out a cup so seriously. He took out the gloves in the equipment bag and changed them to a new one, and then held the cup in his hand and began to divination, but after throwing it three times in a row, Tan Jian's expression changed violently and said, "No." ”
I waited for him to speak, and when I saw him suddenly show this posture, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly gestured and asked what was going on.
Tan Jian got up and took the cup, put it back in the small bag, and said; "When this ancient tomb was built, there were powerful people involved in it, and there was no way to divinate here, so the scope of the ancient tomb could be determined."
Could it be that we have to start all over again and climb out first to take a hexagram?
Who knew that as soon as this thought flashed, the mutation protruded, and the natural dunk on the jade bridge suddenly reached out of the sickle on his waist and slashed towards the jade bridge. I was so shocked that I almost screamed, the sickle was so sharp, the whole jade bridge was like cutting tofu, and it was immediately cut into two, but because the two ends were embedded, the jade bridge did not disintegrate, and the arched compression structure made it look the same as it was at the beginning.
Tan Jian's thoughts and I were completely disrupted by his natural actions, and as he swung his scythe down, a subtle clicking sound suddenly sounded in the tomb. This kind of sound is too familiar to me, in the dungeon of the feather gate, every time this sound sounds, it means a mechanism and danger, so at the moment when the mechanism is ready, I suddenly pull the rope back, and suddenly pull the natural stupid.
This jade bridge was originally slippery and arched, so he was dragged like this, and he suddenly fell on the bridge and was pulled back, in an embarrassed posture, and at the moment he fell, countless short arrows were shot around him, making a whooshing sound of breaking the air. In the dim halo, I saw countless black dark arrows shuttling, and the shooting range was very large, if I hadn't dragged him in time, he would have been shot into a hornet's nest at this moment.
This made my whole nerves tense, and when I saw that I was about to be pulled off the jade bridge in the next moment, the sickle in this kid's hand actually fell. I know that this scythe is a magic weapon, but it is not worth exchanging my life, the moment the scythe fell, I naturally turned sideways, and jumped down, trying to catch the scythe.
We have strictly controlled the length of this rope, and the retraction range is only seven meters, which is to prevent the rope from being too long and ineffective after people fall.
But I didn't expect that I was about to get out of danger, and I didn't come to such a trick with such a move, and the force of this sudden jump dragged me and Tan Jian forward suddenly, and I almost didn't fall down with it.
The rope was still grabbed by the two of us at the last moment, and the whole person was almost less than ten centimeters away from the black paint, and if we slipped a little further, he would definitely have to have a close contact with the black paint. Even if you don't know what it is, it's definitely not a good thing to be able to appear under the mechanism of this ancient tomb.
In desperation, I found that I could actually say out: "Idiot, you've been kicked in the head by a donkey." "Although my throat hurts when I speak, I really can't help but want to beat myself up, which tendon did he make the mistake just now?
Fortunately, the rain of arrows was only reflected within the scope of the Jade Bridge, and Tan Jian and I were not affected, and the dark arrows that were shot did not all fall into the black paint below, and the natural stay was not affected because the body was leaning on the outermost position.
This rain of arrows lasted for more than twenty seconds, don't underestimate these twenty seconds, the speed and number are enough to kill several elephants. After the crossbow is fired, we will retract the ropes, intending to get the natural fool up first.
Who knew that as soon as he pulled the rope, the rope that was originally quite heavy suddenly became lighter, as if the person who was hanging disappeared, so that me and Tan Jian, who were pulling people hard, couldn't retract their strength, and the two of them retreated one after another, and fell to the ground with their butts.
The rope was also pulled up by us at once, but at the other end of the rope, where else was there anyone?
When I looked closely, the rope was cut by something sharp.
I don't know what happened to the natural stay, what kind of wind smoked, but at this moment, I didn't care about greeting the ancestor of the natural stay, so I hurriedly rushed over and looked down to see the situation in the pit. I saw that there was still a black paint-like object below, and there was a natural shadow.
At this moment, I reacted, and naturally the kid fell in.
Fuck me! I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out! I couldn't help but stare at myself so that I felt uncomfortable in my eyes, and then I immediately pulled the rope and bolted it to myself, Tan Jian saw my gaze and shouted, "You calm down, I haven't figured out what is underneath yet!" ”
"How calm am I, the sacrificed myself in exchange for this kid's freedom, and entrusted this kid to me before he died! He's only been down the mountain for three months, and if something happens...... I...... I...... Fuck me! ”
