The strange stone wall suddenly collapsed, but I screamed in panic, "I didn't do it? "The stone wall in front of me, before I could touch it, collapsed abruptly.

The moment the stone wall collapsed, all three of us involuntarily dodged backwards, crossing our arms in front of our faces.

The sky was full of dust, and our tense bodies did not feel the impact of the sand, but choked on the dust and made snot and tears flow.

Tianyu on the fat man's back was the first to open her eyes, she jumped off the fat man's back, screaming wantonly, overexcited super high voice, and constantly making piercing screams, so that it was completely difficult to hear what she was saying.

As soon as the fat man opened his eyes, he immediately rushed out of the stone chamber like a wild horse on the loose, and shouted frantically: "It's okay, it's okay, we're out." ”

Hearing the fat man's exclamation, I slowly opened my eyes, the strength of my legs seemed to be instantly withdrawn, and my body involuntarily slid down weakly.

The cigarette man immediately hugged me: "Are you okay?" ”

I smiled and replied, "It's fine." ”

The smoke man helped me out of the stone room, outside which was a narrow stone road, and Tianyu and the fat man had already disappeared. After the smoke man stepped into the corridor, he stopped after a few steps, squatted down, pinched something small on the ground with his hands, and put it in the palm of his hand.

I looked at what was in his palm in amazement and said, "Fine sand." ”

The cigarette man nodded, then walked over to the stone wall on the side of the stone walkway and poked his finger at it. It was found that the walls on both sides of the stone slab road also had a large amount of fine sand sticked.

So it seems, behind the weird stone wall. It is indeed a quicksand mechanism.

There are a lot of fine sand sticking to the stone slabs on both sides and above the stone slabs of the stone road, which shows that there is a lot of sand stored in the road, but how can such a large amount of fine sand disappear out of thin air without a trace, can it be carried away? But this is clearly not human, and even if I think, I think it's inside this weird group of catacombs. There is no one else, and who will come to the gloomy tomb to carry sand?

The smoker turned around, walked from the new to the door of the stone chamber, and began to look along the edge of the corridor to the junction of the stone chamber. There seems to be no mechanism on the ground. The sand seemed to disappear out of thin air. However, thanks to the disappearance of the sand behind the stone wall, we were lucky to be spared.

The smoke man and I gave up our research on the disappearing sand, packed our backpacks, and hurried ahead in the stone pathway. After walking for a long time, they didn't find any trace of Tianyu and the fat man, and they were a little too excited. But. It is no wonder that they have been in pain and trapped for a long time. At this time, I can't wait to put on my wings and get away from this cage-like underground stone chamber.

The road was very long, and I don't know how long I walked, but I vaguely heard the sound of water flowing in front of me. I was astonished and thought: How can there be a sound of a stream flowing in the ground? Are we almost back on the surface?

The cigarette man and I glanced at each other, and immediately both quickened their paces and walked forward.

The sound of the water flowing was getting closer and closer to me, and slowly I found that there was a cheerful scene in front of us, and we walked out of the narrow road, and there was a deep ditch similar to a moat in front of us, which was filled with water, and it was still living water, and the river was flowing endlessly.

Tianyu and the fat man both sat on the bank of the deep ditch to rest, and the smoke man and I walked to their side. I first leaned over and looked into the deep ditch, which was about a zhang wide and bottomless, and ran horizontally through the vast stone chamber where we were, completely blocking our way.

The water level in the ditch is about half a meter deep from the ground, and the bottom is not deep, but it is not really bottomless, but because the water in the deep ditch is too turbid, so that the visibility under the water is almost zero, and it is impossible to see the situation under the water at all, and it is impossible to detect the depth of the water. The visual inspection is bottomless, and the actual depth cannot be considered.

I was a little puzzled and asked the smoker: "There is obviously flowing living water in this deep ditch, why is the water so turbid?" ”

Instead of answering my question, the man lay on the shore and leaned most of his upper body into the ditch, closing his eyes and listening to the sound of the water.

I didn't understand the purpose of the cigarette man, so I sat on the shore and watched him quietly, and after half a moment, the cigarette man pulled back from his body, sat on the shore and said to us, "Listen. ”

The fat man complained with some dissatisfaction: "Listen to what? What else could there be but the sound of running water? ”

The smoke man stared at the flowing ditch and said, "The sound of the gears turning." ”

Upon hearing this, I was immediately astonished, and hurried down to the shore and leaned into the ditch to listen, but the sound of the water was so loud that it completely obscured the other sounds. I listened to it for a long time to no avail, and all I could hear was the sound of running water, and as for the sound of the gears turning, I didn't hear it at all.

I lay on the shore and looked at the ditch below and thought to myself: if there were gears rotating at the bottom of this ditch, then the mechanism here was really cleverly done. Use a sharp blade to make a gear that can be rotated, and then use running water to push the gear to rotate, and the person who accidentally falls down will immediately become a pile of meat pieces, and the residue of the meat body will be taken away by the running water, which will not block and affect the rotation of the gear, and the ditch water will flow forever, and the gear will never stop.

The craftsman who designed this anti-theft mechanism can be called a genius. It is no wonder that the living water flowing in the ditch is so turbid, and it is the phenomenon that the rotating gears bring up the soil at the bottom of the ditch. Then it also shows that the water at the bottom of the ditch should not be deep, and there is no way to flow quickly under too deep water, and there is no way to drive the gears to turn.

The settings of the mechanism are figured out, but there is no way to crack it, unless the opening and closing device is found. However, I deduce that the original intention of this ingenious mechanism was to be endless, non-stop to prevent theft, and there was no setting to close it at all, and as long as the water in the ditch continued to flow, the mechanism would not be cracked.

This ditch, which is not too wide and not too deep, has successfully become the only way out to intercept us, as if it is like the chasm between the Chu River and the Han Dynasty, which cannot be crossed at all.

The fat man lay on the ground on all fours, and he tilted his head and said to me, "There is no way to block the entrance and exit of the ditch, how can we get there?" Lao Zheng, you have a brain, find a way to take us over. ”

I smiled bitterly and said to the fat man: "Leader, you have given me such a difficult task, and you really look up to my little brother and me." ”

After checking the backpack on the side, Tianyu silently said to me, "The food has bottomed out. "The implication is obvious, however, that we can't delay any longer, that we must find a way to get out of here before we starve to death, and before the poison attacks.

After passing a pass, there is another hurdle, the road ahead is bleak, and I don't know how many difficulties and dangers are waiting for us. The sealed and poisonous stone chamber trapped us for too much time, and too much food was consumed, and the poisoned bodies of the three of them were almost about to collapse.

Now I am the only one who is sober and recovering as before, and I have to find a way to take the three of them out of here and go out for treatment. The pressure hit my heart, and I couldn't help but scold angrily in my heart: His grandmother, we are not Tang Seng who wants to go to the west to learn scriptures, where do we have so many hardships and tribulations.

I looked at the cigarette man with great hope: "Little brother, do you have a way to get there?" ”

The smoke man shook his head without hesitation, then left to dodge my eager gaze, turned around, and stared at the flowing water in the ditch without leaving his eyes for a moment, as if he could see the flowers.

I sighed in my heart, it seems that I have to take the lead again, but I am now poor in donkey skills, and I don't have the ability and ability!

No one can be suffocated by urine, so I stood up and began to walk around the shore of the ditch. The other side of the ditch was a little wider than where we were now, but the darkness of the other side seemed to get narrower and narrower as we went deeper. The environment of this catacombs is truly mysterious and magnificent, attracting people with fantasies who want to explore it.

I pulled my gaze back and looked around again, and there were no mysteries at all under my eyes, and we were in an infinite stalemate. Minutes and seconds began to be wasted again, but this time, the sense of urgency was too strong, and it was already the last moment of life and death. Because, since the day before yesterday, we have had no water to drink, and only the last half of the food is left as hard as a stone. As for the three other people, the symptoms of tribute poison are becoming more and more obvious, and I only hope that when I think of a way, the three of them will still have the strength to move.

I pulled off a little bit of pancake and handed it to Tianyu, whose lips were cracked with dry lips, and she shook her head to say that she didn't want to eat it.

Also, the dry pancake can't be swallowed at all, you can only put it in your mouth and soften it with saliva. However, a dry pancake will absorb all the moisture in the mouth, making us even more thirsty.

At this time, the fat man lying on the ground suddenly stood up, rolled his trouser legs and said, "I can't wait like this anymore." Let's just wade over, maybe there is no mechanism under the water, maybe the cigarette boy has auditory hallucinations due to poisoning, and there are no gears below at all, so it's better to plug it than to count down to death here. ”

I hurriedly stopped the impulsive fat man, and I can't remember how many times I stopped him like this. If, after a while, I had no confidence that I would stop him, and perhaps I would jump into the ditch with him.

The fat man shook off my arm, stared at the cigarette man with a hideous face, and asked him fiercely, "Are you sure there's a goddamn gear down here?" We just have to go and die without a body? ”

This drama has been staged many times, and the smoke man has been ignoring the fat man's difficulties, staring intently at the water, not paying attention to it at all, and not answering the fat man's questions. (To be continued......)
