Chapter 21 Fierce Iron (II)
Anyway, I waved the old sheepskin that "Kangxi treasure knife", according to the old sheepskin, this knife is the Kangxi expedition to Geldan when the royal thing, and then rewarded to the Mongolian princes, this knife has a long handle and long blade, the blade is straight and oblique, not only has a long blood groove, but also a gold wire coil dragon embedded in it, sharp and luxurious extraordinary.
Although this knife is the four olds, after all, it is a royal thing, and it is a sharp weapon with a blade, and it will definitely be able to ward off evil spirits, but I also say these words casually, as for whether Kangxi's blade can ward off evil spirits, of course I don't know, and now I have to find some excuses to make everyone feel that they have a backer, otherwise if they encounter any inexplicable anomalous phenomena, everyone will turn around and run away again.
We made up our minds and immediately took action, we first pinned our hopes on finding an unsealed room, going out through the window, trying not to enter the basement if we could not enter the basement, although the building was completely dark, there was no difference between upstairs and downstairs, but the basement was underground after all, probably out of psychological suggestion, we chose to go upstairs to inspect first.
The four of them talked to each other while reading the supreme instructions to strengthen their courage, and walked up to the second floor, Ding Sitian said: "There is an advantage but no preparation, not a real advantage, you see that all the power supply lines in this building have been cut off, it seems that this building has indeed been used before, I don't know why it was abandoned." β
I said: "I don't think this building is as simple as being abandoned, so many rooms closed with bricks and cement, as well as the window cracks that have been sealed from the outside, and the large double-sided mirror in front of the door, which must not want something to enter or leave, but we don't feel too depressed inside, indicating that there are ventilation vents inside, which is really confusing. β
The fat man said: "Then you don't need to ask, it must be aggression." If anyone sins against me, I will offend them, reactionary things. If you don't hit it, it won't fall, and if you make me angry, I'll tear down this building, and dig three feet into the ground to find out what is hidden here. I'm going to have to squeeze out the yolk. β
The old sheepskin persuaded: "It must be that we ate the gods in the water, how can the gods eat them?" Now that he has suffered retribution, he is locked in this white box and can't escape, so he dares to admit his fate. β
I said to the old sheepskin: "All the rights belong to our workers, peasants and soldiers, what gods and immortals?" I forgot to tell you. You only ate the fish yourself, and there shouldn't be any of the three of us here, and this place is not a white box, it may be a building built by the little devil back then, didn't you know that there were Japanese here? When your brother Yang Erdan disappeared after entering this Hundred Eyes Cave, was he killed by the Japanese? β
Where could the old sheepskin think of this, and he was stunned: "Down with the local tyrants and inferior gentry, could it be that the hard-working brother of my family was ruined by the little devil?" I didn't answer the old sheepskin, one mystery after another shrouded the "Hundred Eyes Cave". It's hard to guess what happened here, but one thing is for sure, this building must have been built by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War, and instead of letting the old sheepskin superstitiously attribute the disappearance of his brother's land to evil spirits, it is better to let him settle this account on the head of militarism and the emperor's rebellion, so that at least he can turn his grief into strength, instead of constantly nagging about what retribution will happen to him if he eats a few fish.
As we spoke, we had walked through the staircase on the second and third floors, and the rooms on the two floors were still completely blocked, and some of the original Japanese signs in the building had been scraped off, leaving only some unrecognizable traces, and the corridor was the same as the first floor. Why is it that it is blocked by a brick wall and cannot access the other half of the building? Could it be that there is something in that half of the building? It is also possible that the other half of the building, like the rooms in the building, is made entirely of bricks.
Although we are not prepared to fight an unprepared battle, but the situation in front of us, it is like a blind man riding a blind horse, in the middle of the night near the deep pool, in this dangerous and mysterious environment, I don't know what to face at all, I can't figure it out, it seems that it is useless to look for it again, we stand against the brick wall of the second corridor, and decide to turn around and go to the basement to look for it again.
Just about to leave, Ding Sitian, who was as careful as a hair, found some clues on the brick wall, the appearance of the brick walls in all the rooms is almost the same, it seems that they were built in the same period, all of them are strong and unbreakable, but the brick wall in the corridor on the second floor, there are seven or eight bricks square, but it looks a little special, although the color of the bricks is almost the same, but this piece of bricks does not seem to be very harmonious with the entire brick wall in the corridor, it seems that the old and new Cheng dΓΉ are slightly different, and the bricks are also inside and out, not as neat as the rest of the brick walls, There is no cement bonding between the gaps, if it weren't for Ding Sitian's sharp eyes and careful heart, it would be really difficult to detect, were these bricks once picked up and backfilled, or were they a secret passage deliberately left on the solid wall?
In addition to the old sheepskin still thinking about his brother's encounter, the fat man and I were sincerely excited by Ding Sitian's discovery, and were ready to give her a credit, the fat man was anxious, and when he saw that there were a few bricks on the wall that were alive, he immediately wanted to demolish the wall.
I stopped the fat man, squatted in front of the brick wall and looked at it repeatedly, and knocked it a few times with the scabbard, but these bricks are too thick, and it is difficult to judge whether the other side of the wall is empty or solid from the sound, but these dozens of bricks can indeed be moved and disassembled, and what is in the wall is completely unpredictable, I bit my lip and hesitated, and now it has reached a stalemate, if I don't tear down the only active brick wall to see what is going on, it is not the end of the game after all, and the most important thing is that our kerosene lamp is only the size of a bean grain, and the foreign oil is about to burn out, And there is no oil left to replenish, there will be no light in this building even during the day, and it is necessary to find a way out as much as possible before losing the light completely.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I have to do twelve points of hard work, I strengthened my determination, and began to remove the wall tiles with the fat man, Ding Sitian picked up the lamp next to us to illuminate, and the old sheepskin also reached out to help, and took the removed bricks and put them aside.
There are only dozens of movable bricks, the fat man and I pulled out a few bricks, and saw that there was still a layer of movable bricks inside, and behind the two-layer brick wall, there were no more bricks, as if there was something else in the dark, and I couldn't see clearly with a kerosene lamp, and poked it with a scabbard, and there was a dull metallic sound, and the fat man became anxious, impatient to pull out one by one, and reached into his hand to knock down the remaining two layers of bricks together, so there was a hole less than one meter square in the brick wall of the corridor.
