Chapter 64: The Xuanhai Stone Box

When Gu Jie finally realized the importance of this "pit", he was shocked and said to Yudong: "Dongshao! Hurry up, hurry up and find a way! Now that whip doesn't matter, this pit is the big thing! If we can't put this pit in place, it's useless for us to get a whip! ”

Yu Dong waved his hand lightly to signal Lao Gu not to make noise, and then squatted down and put his hand into the stone wall below.

Qin Zhen looked at him as if he was about to be planted, and hurriedly dragged Yu Dong and said, "You can be careful, you are not from the circus acrobatic club, why do you always do these difficult actions?" What the hell do you want to do? ”

Yudong stood up, twisted his fingers lightly and said, "There is water in here." ”

Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said disapplausively: "It's not strange that there is water!" Maybe it was a waterhole in the first place? It's been more than 2,000 years, young master! If there is too much water, it will have dried up a long time ago. What's so strange about that? ”

Yu Dong shook his head and said, "No, this is obviously a mechanism, and it can't be opened at all without going to the last step, and it can't be revealed." What kind of ornament is this? ”

"That'...... That's the leakage here! Do you think, this stone is in the sea, more than 2,000 years of ups and downs, who knows if it will be poured into the seawater? Qin Zhen said as much as he could.

However, Yu Dong still shook his head dissatisfied: "That's even more impossible." You look at the ground on both sides of the main hall, the measures of waterproofing and water diversion are very good, if there will be water accumulation here, then we will not be able to see a single qiΔ“ here today. In your words, more than 2,000 years ago. Not to mention. This pit needs to be opened by man, even if there is seawater coming in and no one opens the mechanism, there can be no water in this pit. ”

"Isn't it supposed to be water seepage?" Qin Zhen's forehead was faintly sweating, and the more he talked, the more anxious he became.

But Yu Dong didn't react and said: "The seepage water should go down to the bottom of the pit, and the result I found out is that the water here has been filled." Could it be that the water seeped into such a large pit? ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhen finally threw himself and said, "Okay, okay...... I won't say what I think, and I won't break with you about these useless ...... Master, you can just announce the answer, okay? ”

Yu Dong gently stroked his chin with his hand. A thoughtful look. His signature gesture proves that he is thinking at the moment. And the answer is already near.

Sure enough, soon Yudong said lightly: "I think...... This pit is also a mechanism, a mechanism to open a secret place here. The principle of this mechanism is probably water, the gravity of water. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

It's not just Qin Zhen who was dumbfounded. Except for the ink clothes. Lao Gu and Jiang Qi's expressions were also puzzled. They don't understand these mechanisms of gravity or water. Even if they do, they are still confused about where to get so much water??

According to Yuto, this pit must be filled with water. God knows how much water that would have to be?! They even give drinking water. It's just like a trickle in the sea.

Fortunately, Qin Zhen quickly reacted and asked in surprise, "You mean that there is a mechanism here that can lead water, right?" Are those faucets just outlets? ”

Yu Dong glanced at Qin Zhen with a little relief, and the expressionless expression seemed to be already praising Qin Zhen for not being an idiot to the point of being incurable.

With Yudong's approval, the next thing they have to consider is how to make the eight faucets come out of the water. Needless to say, there must be some mysterious mechanism somewhere. As soon as the mechanism is turned on, the faucet sprays water, and it may not take long to fill the deep pit.

Mo Sheng paced slowly at the edge at this time, and then said thoughtfully: "This may be the mechanism that opens the mountain whip, but at the same time, it may also be the mechanism that awakens and releases the elephant." It is unlikely that you will go back, so it should be related to the exit. ”

"Huh...... It seems that this is not just a double-edged sword, but a multi-edged sword. Qin Zhen said with a not very good face.

Life is death, death is life, and destruction is nirvana, and the idea that life is too familiar to them! Merely...... Did Qin Shi Huang also believe in this view? Probably not...... In the final analysis, the purpose is not to let people take away the mountain whip. It's okay to take it out, but it needs to be "tested". As for the "presiding judge" of this life and death test...... It must be the reckless elephant.

Although this is not a good sign, it is the only feasible way out.

"Okay...... Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we have to open this mechanism! You two have been watching for a long time, have you found the mechanism? Qin Zhen asked with a bitter face.

Yu Dong turned around and walked back, walking towards the top platform of the nine-story platform.

Everyone hurriedly followed, and soon they saw the huge stone niche and the pearl jade candlestick decorations around it.

Although Lao Gu didn't speak, his eyes were shining with a thief's light. If it weren't for Yudong, it is estimated that he would have rushed over to accept the biggest gain of this trip.

However, these jeweled thousand-year-old treasures are no different from the surrounding rocks in Yudong's eyes. He didn't even bother to look at the treasures, but walked straight to the stone niche and looked at it carefully.

There is also a stone tool here, to be honest, in Qin Zhen's eyes, that boxy stone box looks like a treasure chest. Because it is inlaid with gold, silver, pearls, and jade, as well as gemstones of various colors. If it weren't for the fact that they knew that there was a mountain whip inside, I am afraid that everyone would be surprised at what kind of valuable things were placed in it, and it was stored in such a jeweled box.

Lao Gu suddenly said at this time: "Qin Shi Huang should definitely be able to make a gold box, why does he have to use stones to make a box, and then carve gold and jade on it?" Don't you think it's weird for him to do this? ”

Not to mention, it's really incomprehensible. But if you think about it carefully, how can most of Emperor Qin's thinking be understood by ordinary people? Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, everything he does is quite weird!

However, for this stone box, Mo Sheng has a different opinion from Lao Gu.

Mo Sheng observed for a moment, and then said to Lao Gu: "The reason for placing it in the stone box is very simple, because this is not an ordinary rock, it is a kind of stone in the deep sea that is most yin and cold, called Xuanhai Stone. Its precious Cheng dΓΉ can almost be said to be unique. The function of this thing is also very simple, that is, it can preserve the original appearance of the object, whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, on the largest scale. Probably because of its cloudy and cold nature. However, it seems that even if he has a vast supernatural power like Emperor Qin, he has only just obtained such a large piece of Xuanhai Stone......"

Qin Zhen and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, they really didn't expect this broken stone box to be so big.

Probably seeing Qin Zhen's surprise, Mo Sheng bent down and approached the stone box and said, "Come and see, if you look closely, this stone is not black, but dark blue. It is a kind of blue that belongs to the ocean and is the deep sea. Even, the light and shadow flow, and you can see the sparkling waves from this stone...... Compared to this stone, the qiΔ“ jewelry on it is like stone and gravel. ”

Qin Zhen and the others also approached and shone a flashlight, and sure enough, it was just as Mo Sheng said! The deep blue stone surface glows with a ripple luster like ocean waves. If Mo Sheng hadn't said this, they probably wouldn't have noticed.

Mo Sheng pointed to the Xuanhai stone box at this time and said: "This stone will only exist at a depth of at least three thousand meters under the sea, and it will take about a thousand years to form a color, and it will take another thousand years to slowly form a ripple luster." The stone was apparently thousands of years old. The deeper the seabed, the greater the pressure, the more it will show its characteristics, and the longer the calcification, the more the unique water light can appear. ”

Qin Zhen couldn't help but sigh again and again: "Let's not mention the rarity and preciousness of this stone, the most important thing is that in terms of the current equipment, how deep can you reach when diving?" During the Qin Dynasty, how did Qin Shi Huang get this deep-sea gem? ”

Jiang Qi, who had not interjected much, suddenly said at this time: "The deepest water level of the Bohai Sea is simply not possible...... Even the Yellow Sea in the East China Sea, the southeastern tip of 380,000 square kilometers, is only 140 meters deep. This thing...... Not from the Yellow Bohai Sea. ”

Qin Zhen and Gu Jie turned their heads at the same time and looked at Jiang Qi in surprise. Unexpectedly, Jiang Qi, who usually doesn't say much, actually knows everything in his heart.

Lao Gu also looked at Jiang Qi jokingly and said, "Daqi, I originally thought that you only knew about guns and ammunition...... I didn't expect you to be able to do it too! ”

"......" Jiang Qi looked at Lao Gu awkwardly, embarrassed to say anything.

However, Qin Zhen said it for Jiang Qi, only to see Qin Zhen glance at Lao Gu and say, "Who do you think is like you, except for sticks, pistols, maces, and maces, you don't know anything?" ”

Old Gu was about to refute, but Yu Dong said coldly: "The depth of the Huang Bohai Sea is naturally not there, but if Emperor Qin really split the dividing line of the Huang Bohai Sea with a whip, then it is difficult to say what will happen below." ”

Qin Zhen's heart suddenly "chuckled", and he remembered the almost forgotten dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. Yes, it is said that it is like a ruin, and if it is that deep, it is not surprising that there is such a rare deep-sea gem as zΓ i.

"And in addition to the extremely cold nature of this stone box, which is convenient for cherishing treasures, more importantly, there are all kinds of mechanisms on it, and without relevant mechanisms, we can't open this box at all." Yu Dong said lightly. (To be continued......)
