On the stone wall closest to the flame encirclement, after a few simple movements of me and me, a rectangular niche appeared on the wall, and the fat man couldn't help but ask me in amazement and admiration.

I didn't answer him, but looked at the alcove the size of a table drawer in front of me, neatly stacked with dozens of long square stone columns. Curious, I pulled out one and held it in my hand to look at it. At the same time as I took out the stone bars, several pairs of hands immediately took out a few stone bars, and they were the Liu brothers and the black man.

I didn't bother to pay attention to them, and used the dim light of my flashlight to carefully examine the slender stone bar in my hand. This stone strip resembles the movable type of movable type printing in ancient times, and each top is engraved with different characters in official script, but it is not an anti-character single word used for printing, but a square and normal written orthographic text. I carefully counted the long stone strips in the alcove, there are a total of twenty-seven, respectively engraved with the five elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth", the heavenly stem of the "A, B, C, D, pente, hexageng, xin non 癸", and the earthly branch of the "Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen Youxu Hai", although each stone bar is the same width, but the length is different.

That's when I realized that above the box-like niche, there were seven square holes of the same size, side by side. This must be the keyhole that unlocks the stone chamber mechanism, and these stone bars are the keys.

Things are simple and easy to understand, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the effect of these stone bars. However, the key is how to open the stone door mechanism in this secret room? And the long stone bars, which ones are the keys that match these seven holes? Fools know that once you put the wrong key and touch the mechanism by mistake. There will be no place to die.

I put the stone bar in my hand back into the box-like alcove, and pulled the fat man to the smoke man who was watching the excitement from a distance.

The fat man muttered as he walked, "Why is this cigarette man like a nobody, isn't he in a hurry to get out of here?" ”

I smiled and explained to the fat man, "Tarzan collapsed before and the color remained the same. The elk is on the left and not in sight. Watching the interests and disadvantages coldly, and waiting for the enemy to change, this is the style of a general, how can you wait for such an impetuous child to understand! ”

The fat man glanced at me and said, "Fake Sven, can you talk to me less, don't put on a face that is underwhelming, and make me sick." You don't give the cigarette man a stinky foot, you feel uncomfortable, right? ”

I smiled and replied to the fat man, "Heroes cherish each other." He went on without saying anything more.

The fat man glanced back at the stone wall behind him, and now almost all the people were gathered around the alcove. But with the lesson just learned. No one will dare to act rashly anymore. The fat man said to me with a stern face: "Lao Zheng, there were a lot of people just now, and you didn't answer the question I asked you." Now it's just the two of us, what the hell is going on with that niche you suing me? ”

I glanced back at the stone wall. I noticed that the Liu brothers had been smiling and looking at me. And the big black man also looked at me from time to time. The smile on my face became even stronger, and I patiently explained to the fat man: "You are really stupid, the small square hole in the stone wall is the device that opens the stone door." ”

After hearing this, the fat man hurriedly looked behind him and asked me anxiously, "Then why are we going to go away?" Hurry up and open it, what if you let those stupid people touch it and accidentally touch the mechanism? ”

I laughed in my heart. With the tragic lesson just now, I believe that they will not act recklessly and act recklessly. Playing with your own life. I smiled and comforted the fat man and said, "Don't worry, lend them ten guts, and they won't dare to move casually, no one will think that their lives are too long." ”

I walked up to the cigarette man with a smile, and just as I was about to open my mouth, I saw the cigarette man wave his hand, and a pair of eagle eyes stared coldly behind me. I turned around in astonishment and saw the Liu brothers and the black big man walking towards us.

I immediately greeted me with a smile, and the fat man murmured restlessly in my ear, "Weasel New Year's greetings to chickens—probably nothing good." ”

Several of the Liu brothers walked up to us, and Liu Da, who had the appearance of a matchmaker, first shook my hand with a smile and said, "Thank you so much for saving this little brother just now." ”

The fat man snorted with his nose, expressing his resentment very clearly, and I was secretly amused in my heart, they didn't even know what our names were, and it seemed that they didn't take me and the fat man seriously from the bottom of their hearts.

I didn't laugh angrily, and politely said to Liu Da, who was a little embarrassed: "Everyone is a brother who shares the hardships in this fight, Brother Liu doesn't have to be so polite." ”

I said it quite kindly with a smile, and Liu Da immediately laughed and echoed: "Little brother is right, we are brothers who share life and death together. After saying that, I laughed out loud, and I thought to myself: This Liu Da didn't see that he was still a treacherous villain, he was completely facing forward when he was using people, and facing backward when he was not using people, and he was obviously a treacherous two-faced person.

Liu Er said to the smoke man with some sincerity: "Brother Hanyan's friends are really not ordinary people. ”

The cigarette man still had an expression of rejection thousands of miles away, and didn't say anything.

Jiang Ye, who was standing next to the black man, stroked the mustache on his mouth with his hand, and said with a very hypocritical smile: "I have been looking for the figure of the two brothers, but I didn't expect you to fall behind, and you just happened to save our lives, thank you very much." ”

This Jiang Ye's words are always tingy with words, and I tried my best to save their lives, and it became a coincidence in his mouth. And it's really hypocritical to say that he has been ignoring our existence all along, but now he seems to care about us very much.

When the fat man heard this, he still snorted disdainfully with a black face, "I wonder if there will be such a coincidental thing next time?" ”

I was too lazy to be a peacemaker, and thought to myself: I have to kill their unbeatable majesty, so I continued to smile on my signature and did not answer.

Jiang Ye touched the ash of his nose and stopped talking.

At this time, the big black man who didn't say a word finally couldn't hold his breath, he tried to mobilize the muscles on his face, and forced out a smiling face, which looked very ugly, and said to me: "Little brother, I can see that you are a capable person, you should know how to open the stone door behind." Time is of the essence, or you should move over and open the stone door now, so that we can get out of this damn place. ”

I haven't said anything back. The fat man first stretched his face unhappily, and said to the black man in a very unkind tone: "How can we solve such a serious matter." Besides, we don't have the ability to take you out of this hellish place, and if you capable people want to leave here, you want to go by yourself. "Finished. A pair of big bull's eyes glared angrily at the black man and the others. The fat man said this completely out of consideration for my safety. Everyone knows that the work of opening the mechanism is undoubtedly equivalent to sending them to death, and whoever has nothing to eat and be fed up. Willing to do this stupid thing that may cost your life.

Liu Da heard the fat man's words. Immediately cheekily explained to the fat man: "This little brother, how can you be a follower, you are a friend of Brother Hanyan, that's it" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently, I really didn't bother to listen to his hypocritical words. The strange and complicated tomb is enough to make people upset, and I really don't want to stir up unnecessary disputes anymore.

In fact. When I saw the stone bar, I already had some thoughts in my heart. I just don't want to rashly do stupid things alone, and be the pioneer of thunder for others. Now that they are begging each other, they are in the middle of it, I can still take this opportunity to be a favor to push the boat along the river, and I can also leave here safely with the fat man, why not!

So, I continued to put on a false friendly smile and said to the Liu brothers and the others: "This stone gate can't be opened by my own strength, since everyone is in the same life and death relationship now, there is no need to do unnecessary disputes, let's discuss and discuss together, how to get out of here next?" ”

When the Liu brothers heard that I agreed to find a way to open the door, they immediately nodded happily. I pulled the angry fat man to the stone wall with a niche, and the cigarette man followed me silently with a cigarette roll in his mouth and an iron rod in his hand.

I pulled the angry fat man and whispered to him, "Why bother with these villains, we have to get out of here anyway, just to be a good favor." Don't worry, I won't do dangerous work. ”

After listening to me, the expression on the fat man's face softened a lot, and he followed me to the front of the stone wall.

The people who were around the alcove near saw me approaching and immediately dispersed a path. I walked straight to the box-like alcove and took out all the stones and laid them out on the ground. I squatted on the ground, arranged the chaotic stone bars in three rows according to categories, and then said to everyone: "Let me first talk about some superficial opinions, if you have any different opinions, you can put forward them at any time, and I believe that we will be able to find a way to open the stone door by brainstorming together." ”

I raised my head first and said to the smoking man who was leaning against the stone wall and smoking, "Brother Smoker, do you know the direction of this stone wall?" ”

The cigarette man didn't answer before he could speak, and Jiang Ye, who was squatting opposite me, immediately replied first: "The direction is south." ”

The cigarette man didn't speak, and nodded slightly, indicating that it was right.

So I went on to say, "Let's start with the simplest theory. The direction of the stone wall in front of us is south, and we are equipped with "five elements, heavenly stems and earth branches", that is, "fire, propylene and noon". After saying that, I took out the rectangular stone strips engraved with these words of different lengths from the stone strip queue on the ground and placed them together.

Everyone stared at the stones on the ground and didn't speak, and the air was filled with thick tension. I glanced at everyone, and everyone frowned, and no one wanted to speak, so I had to continue: "However, even with this combination, only five stone bars were selected, and there are seven jacks on the stone wall, which means that seven stone bars must be inserted." After speaking, I looked at everyone, and many of them immediately nodded in agreement.

Then I took out seven more from the stone bars, which are the "earth" of the five elements representing the central position, and the heavenly stem "Wuji" that matches the central direction, and the earthly branch of the earth called the four seasons of the earth. Then he said to everyone, "This is a choice based on the middle orientation, although there are exactly seven, but the order in which the stone strips are inserted is also a problem, and there is" Speaking of this, I looked at the crowd of onlookers and hesitated to express the doubts in my heart.
