Chapter 13: The Mysterious Mechanism
The secret room of the Huang family's Lixiangyuan is full of organs, even if the Huang family is present, every step we take is still terrifying.
The key in the brocade box is indeed the key to the golden lock we saw before, after opening, the door is instantly brightly lit, and there is a deep groove around each wall lamp, about thirty centimeters, I roughly counted it, I can count the range, ninety-nine, I don't know how many behind, the endless corridor is like a passage to hell.
"It is said that there are countless treasures in the secret room of the Huang family's Lixiang Garden, and now it seems that it is indeed not simple, but unfortunately, the times are different, and these things are difficult to see the light of day."
There are words in Baiyun's words, we can all hear it, even if some things are priceless, but they can't see the light, the mountain eagle walked in front of us, he told us to be sure to walk the stone bricks he stepped on, we naturally understand the stakes.
"There are indeed a lot of treasures left by the ancestors of the Huang family, but this is not the purpose of our visit today."
Jiang Yuan was silently counting the number of wall lamps passing by in his mind as he walked, and suddenly, he stopped and looked at one of the wall lamps and asked, "Mountain Eagle, be careful." ”
Shan Ying turned around and looked at the wall lamp in Jiang Yuan's finger, and his face suddenly changed, "It's really fast." ”
I didn't understand, so I asked Bai Yun what was wrong, and Bai Yun whispered, "This wall lamp has been moved, and you see that its position is lower than the others." ”
"So you mean that someone came here before us and moved this wall lamp, but there's nothing unusual here."
The mountain eagle looked around very vigilantly, suddenly, I felt that the stone brick I was stepping on began to loosen a little, I stepped on it hard, the stone brick actually sank, and then I heard the sound of metal rubbing, the wall lamp began to slide along the groove by itself, the light gradually dimmed, the mountain eagle immediately threw out a climbing rope, the other end of the rope was embellished with a copper lump, clang, the copper lump hit a wall lamp, and entangled the lamp body, the wall lamp stopped sliding, and thus became the only light source here.
"You stand still and don't move." The mountain eagle shouted at me.
Baiyun was closest to me, he tried to move cautiously towards me, and then tied the climbing rope that the mountain eagle threw to him around my waist, and after checking the absolute safety, he made a gesture towards the mountain eagle, Jiang Yuan and the mountain eagle cooperated with each other, and the moment they stepped on the wall, they pushed away the three wall lamps, and the light was sufficient, and I realized that the wall lamps here used a mechanical principle, and the grooves on the side of the wall lamps were switches, as for power generation, it should be in a hidden place on the ground.
"Huang Shuai, if you want to get the design plan of the mechanism, is there any other way besides this road?" Jiang Yuan looked around with his eyes like torches.
He was not called Shanying, but Huang Shuai, which showed that Jiang Yuan's state of mind at this moment was very nervous, and under the seemingly calm surface, he might feel the danger he might encounter if he went further.
Huang Shuai shook his head and said: "No, you also saw the stone platform just now, there is no mechanism to crack it at all, and under the surface of the stone layer is a layer of oil and lime, a little carelessness will make the things inside burn, we can't take risks." ”
I asked, "So you mean that out of the six sides of that three-dimensional square, we can't touch five of the six sides, and we can only open the breakthrough from the place where it touches the ground?" ”
Huang Shuai made an OK gesture, "That's right." ”
I said, "That's not easy, what are we brothers doing?" Digging a hole is a matter of minutes. ”
"Not really." Huang Shuai immediately rejected my point of view.
"Isn't it?"
"Mr. Xiao didn't know, the place we were in just now was actually an ancient tomb in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the specifications were very small, there was only one main tomb, when the Huang family built the secret room of Lixiangyuan, it was accidentally discovered, there was only a very small coffin in the tomb at that time, so one of the ancestors put this coffin upright, and then designed a set of mechanisms on the basis of it, but in order to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders, he set up a layer of fire oil and a strong acid layer on the surface of this small coffin, Then dig a deep pit in the ground, put the coffin vertically in it, expose half of it on the ground, and then cover it with a stone layer, and then dig a tunnel through the secret room of Lixiangyuan to the bottom of the underground coffin, and set up a mechanism there. ”
I went through what he said in my head, and I seemed to understand something.
"It's really ingenious, in this way, even if I dig a hole and dig under the coffin, it's useless, because I don't know the specific size of this coffin, even if I guess correctly, but there is already a passage underneath, as long as I dig down, it is very likely to cause a collapse, and then this stone platform tilts, and the things inside are the same fate of being destroyed."
Huang Shuai nodded and said: "The purpose of the Huang family is to prevent the mechanism map from falling into the hands of those people with ill intentions, you know, these mechanism maps are related to the fortifications of many tombs, and the reason why those tombs can be preserved until now without being stolen and excavated is also because the fortifications inside have not been cracked." ”
Jiang Yuan looked up at the surrounding environment and said with some concern: "It seems that they are not going to wait for you to hand over the design drawings of the mechanism yourself, according to you, where should those people be now." “
Huang Shuai sneered, "The layout of this pear fragrance garden is much more sophisticated than that in the ancient tomb, they should be trapped in a stone chamber under our feet now." “
I said, "Just be trapped, since this is the only way we can go, then leave them alone, get the blueprints of the mechanism first, and then get out of here." “
Huang Shuai looked at the stone bricks under his feet thoughtfully, "Whether they can or not, every secret room here has a way to crack it, in order to prevent their own people from being trapped, if there is a middle and high master among the few people who break in this time, I'm afraid they won't be trapped for long." “
Before the words fell, a demonic voice came from the dark place in front of him, what happened to this grandson's vocal cords?
Although I knew who this person was, I was still very careful to hide behind Bai Yun, because I didn't want to be a burden to the three of them.
However, the reality once again made me doubt my judgment, and Huang Shuai immediately hid beside me when he heard the voice, but Bai Yun and Jiang Yuan stood at the front.
"This is your territory, what are you hiding here for?" I whispered.
"I'm just like you, when the fight starts later, we'll run."
"Who wants to run with you, I am self-aware, and my means of helping people are despicable and shameless, I don't want to let myself become a tool for them to threaten Yuan'er and them."
Huang Shuai nodded, and said with admiration: "Correct explanation, I also mean this." "You." "Shhhh (To be continued.) )
