Mountain and Sea Demon Tomb Chapter 5 Man-eating Ants (1)
The tacit understanding formed by working together for a long time made the three of us not speak, just nodded to each other, and consciously divided the labor into the secret room. The fat man and I worked to remove the bowls from the rack, while Shirley Young looked closely at the wall near the rack with a wolf's eye to see if there were any mechanisms or clues about the secret room. It took me half an hour to clean the bowls and pans on the rack, and together we lifted the rack, revealing the secret door on the wall. I looked back at Shirley Young and the fat man, who gave me a slight nod and I led the way into the chamber. The secret room is about three meters long and two meters wide, and the walls are painted with snow-white walls. When all three of them came in, they felt cramped, especially the fat man's large body took up too much space. Shirley Young came in last, and when he came in, he propped up the hinge with the burning stick I had beaten the fat man before, preventing the door from closing behind him. The door of this chamber is pushed inward, smooth as a mirror, and when closed, it almost fits the wall, and if all three of us are in the chamber and someone closes the door from the outside, it will be difficult to open the door again. I can't help but admire Shirley Young's carefulness.
Shirley Yang took out two wolf eyes from the backpack behind his back and gave one to me and the fat man. The small, empty chamber was indescribably strange under the miserable light of the three wolf eyes. The fat man and I carefully checked the walls for mechanisms, and Shirley Young was in charge of looking for hidden passages on the ground.
The fat man muttered while looking for it: "What is this dust washing temple doing to build such a secret room, maybe the old man abbot is hiding some treasures." "I don't know what material the walls of this secret room are painted with, but it has the effect of absorbing light. The strong light of the wolf's eye shines on the wall, and it does not shine like an ordinary object, but the light appears very soft, and the places where the light does not shine become darker, and nothing can be seen.
Shirley Yang lay on the ground, looking at the ground inch by inch with a flashlight, knocking with his hand from time to time, but he couldn't see clearly, and it seemed that the ground was also coated with the same light-absorbing material. The fat man rubbed his neck and complained to me: "Old Hu, I saw that my neck was sore and I didn't find any mechanism or anything like that, could it be that this secret room is an empty room, and Wuhuai'er made a mistake in planning when the temple was built." The three of us are looking for it like babies! ”
Shirley Yang also stood up, and it seemed that he hadn't found any secret passage mechanism. I said to the fat man, "If the plan is wrong, then why use a bowl rack to cover this door, it can be used as a storage room." And this door is so hidden, you can't see it if you don't look closely, how can such a careful craftsmanship be built wrong. You see that the walls of this secret room are all coated with light-absorbing materials, probably because you don't want people to find out anything. There must be something unusual about this chamber, we just didn't find out. ”
Shirley Yang looked out the door and said, "Perhaps, the mechanism of this secret room is not in the secret room, but outside the secret room?" This sentence woke me up, yes, maybe the mechanism is not in the secret room at all, to prevent those who enter the secret room from discovering the secret of the secret room. I waved my hand and said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "Chief of Staff Yang is really strategic, and he points out the direction of action in one sentence. This house is too aggrieved, so it's better for us to go out and have a look. ”
As soon as the words fell, we realized that the door of the secret room had been quietly closed! The three of us were taken aback. When Shirley Yang came in, he had a wooden stick on the hinge to prevent the door from closing, and once the door was closed, it would inevitably get stuck with the stick. But the door closed silently as the three of us spoke.
Shirley Young reacted the fastest, immediately rushed to the door, pulled out his paratrooper knife and tried to insert it into the crack of the door, trying to pry the door open. But the gap between the door and the wall was so small that it could not be penetrated with the thickness of a paratrooper knife. The fat man pulled away Shirley Yang and said angrily: "Fucking I don't know who took advantage of the fat man's distraction to make the door shut outside, thinking that this can lock up your fat man?" Dream! As he spoke, he slammed the door with all his might; After a few bumps, the fat man's shoulders were about to fall apart, but the door still didn't open at all.
The fat man was a little confused, grabbed Shirley Yang's backpack and rummaged around, and shouted to Shirley Yang as he flipped it: "Where's the detonator?" Did you bring it? Shirley Yang hurriedly grabbed the fat man and said: "We came out to the county seat this time, how dare I bring any detonators, I didn't bring any guns, and now the only sharp weapon that can be used on my body is a paratrooper knife." ”
The fat man angrily threw his backpack on the ground and asked me, "Old Hu, this door is estimated to be unable to be opened, what should I do?" "I didn't move, I stood aside and watched Shirley Yang and the fat man keep busy, but my mind kept thinking, this door was opened from the outside in, and there was no handle on the door to make the hand focused, so how did the people outside take the stick that was stuck at the hinge and close the door quickly while the three of us were not looking? And it was so difficult to open after closing, it didn't feel like it was inconvenient to open the door because there was no handle on it, but like the door couldn't be opened in the first place.
