Chapter 65: The Ten Thousand Years Cold Pool
When Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi stood on the pedal at the same time, there was another sound of gear gears. Qin Zhen couldn't help but close his eyes, and he began to worry about whether the idol's arm would be lowered again as soon as this mechanism was opened......
Fortunately, things were not as bad as he thought. As the trap opened, the white mist beneath their feet began to churn, and it seemed as if something was about to rise from below.
Lao Gu looked at the churning white mist with a nervous face, listened to the rumbling sound, and couldn't help but swallow and said, "This, there won't be any living things climbing up here, right?" I looked at this turbulent posture, why did I tremble a little! Where we are now, it's hard to even turn around. If you really encounter something, you won't even have a room to resist! â
As soon as Lao Gu's words fell, one stone pillar after another slowly emerged from the curling white mist. There was still water dripping on the pillar, it seemed that Qin Zhen was right, there was indeed a pool of 10,000-year-old cold pools below.
The square stone pillars are carved one after another, all of which are carved with intricate and gorgeous patterns. Stars emerge from the bottom of the pool, and then they all stop at the same level.
These square stone pillars are the same size and height, and there is no regular distribution of positions, as if people jump from one pillar to another...... And so on all the way to the middle of these columns. There, there is a slightly different column. It should be four or five times the size of these small stone pillars. From a distance, you can see that there is a square pedal on it, ten centimeters high, and the base below is carved from the image of a lotus flower.
Qin Zhen exhaled deeply. Then he lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "This road is really childlike...... I can't help but think of the pedal path in the park pool when I was a child. But they are all connected one by one, and this distance is ......" Speaking of this, Qin Zhen looked at Lao Gu in embarrassment.
The shortest distance between this stone pillar and the stone pillar can be crossed in one step. Longest distance ...... possible It is estimated that you have to take out the ability to jump three meters into the pit. This task may not be a big deal for Jiang Qi, but for Qin Zhen and Gu Jie...... It seems to be a bit of a feeling that it will last forever if you stumble.
Lao Gu tilted his head helplessly, it seemed that he was also used to this kind of unfortunate fate. And since entering the Lotus Secret Realm, he has cursed the builders here countless times. Probably because he himself was tired of scolding, so in addition to the helplessness and resignation on his face, he was extraordinarily quiet at this time.
As long as Lao Gu has no objections. Then you can move forward. The nearest pillar to them may be less than a meter. They didn't feel that much difficulty. There were no three people standing on top of these pillars, so they had to jump over one by one.
Jiang Qi walked in the first place, and by the way, he found the most suitable shortcut to the middle for them. The distribution of these stone pillars is completely irregular, and it is not necessary to think about how much of it may be. The purpose of saving zĂ i. Presumably, it is to confuse the vision of the comer. People don't know where to start.
So I found the right stone pillar and jumped over. Not only can it save time, but it can also reduce the danger. Obviously, such work. Among the three of them, it really has to be Jiang Qi.
At this moment, I saw Jiang Qi's footsteps jumping around between the stone pillars very steadily, Qin Zhen and Lao Gu were behind like soldiers standing by, Jiang Qi said to jump in which way, and the two of them jumped in which way.
But as soon as he took four or five steps, the stone pillar under his feet suddenly began to rise and fall! Frightened, Lao Gu yelled at that time! Qin Zhen was also frightened, but after forcibly stabilizing his figure, he still tried to calm down and shouted: "Don't panic!" Don't move! It just goes up and down, stands firm, can't fall! â
Jiang Qi is okay to say, but where can Lao Gu still stand, and now he is lying on the pillar directly on all fours. Even if he became this decay, he couldn't stop his miserable shouting: "Which grandson did this...... These pillars are up and down, how do we get there! Even if it doesn't move, I feel like I'm pushing my limits! How can this still be active! Grandma, is this a hateful grandfather? â
Qin Zhen also felt very puzzled in his heart. There's no reason why these pillars suddenly start to rise and fall. Could it be...... Did they step on the trap?
But looking back and looking closely, the top of each stone pillar is a flat stone surface, only the carving of a lotus flower, and there is no pedal mechanism. So what did they do wrong?
Without thinking through this problem, Qin Zhen stopped Jiang Qi from moving forward. They had to figure out why the pillars were moving so they could go on safely. Otherwise, if it goes wrong again, who knows if these stone pillars will sink suddenly?
Qin Zhen tried hard to calm himself down, and these stone pillars seemed to be gradually returning to their original state. It seems that they stepped on one of the stone pillars by mistake, which is why all of them rose and fell violently.
However, their ups and downs are also limited, Qin Zhen roughly estimated, it will probably only last about three minutes.
Qin Zhen told Jiang Qi and Lao Gu what he thought of. Jiang Qi nodded, as if thinking of a safer way. But Lao Gu said with a sad face: "Qin Zhen, do you summarize that this thing has a hairy use?" You'd like to find a way! If it's like you said, then there must be some kind of pattern here! Hurry up and give full play to the wisdom cells in your brain that are not very rich! Hurry up and save your brothers in the icy water! â
The more Lao Gu shouted like this, the more Qin Zhen felt very confused in his heart. Because he deeply found that he really has no knowledge to solve the problem in front of him!
On the two instruments, the three talents, the four elephants, the five elements, the six combinations, the seven stars, the eight trigrams, and the nine palaces...... None of them will! When it comes to Zen Buddhism, Tantra, Mahayana, Hinayana and other Buddhist principles, none of them understand! Not to mention any river maps, Luo Shu, I Ching or witches......
In this place, the only ones who can solve their current problems must be those profound metaphysics that they just thought of. But Qin Zhen felt that he might not have been involved with these studies in his life!
If it weren't for knowing Yu Dong and learning so much when he had to learn a little, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Qin Zhen to remember these words! It's not that I'm making excuses for myself, but the average person really rarely delves into those metaphysics.
At this time, Jiang Qi seemed to see the chagrin in Qin Zhen's heart, so he opened his mouth and said a way that was not a solution: "Qin Zhen, don't be difficult for yourself!" It's normal for us ordinary people not to know those things. You see if this will work, I will open the way, and after we jump on a stone pillar, we will bend down and wait quietly for a while. If you make a mistake, wait for it to rise and fall for three minutes, and then stop before you go. If there is no unusual movement, then let's move on. â
Lao Gu lay on the pillar behind him and said with a smile: "Daqi, you are right. It seems that we ordinary people really have to use the stupidest methods of ordinary people...... We have to get used to the road without Dongshao, so that we don't seem too ignorant......" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and got up, seemingly agreeing with Jiang Qi's only safe method.
If there are any other accidents, it will be left to fate. Because the three of them couldn't crack this stone pillar formation no matter what.
Looking at the white mist cold pool under his feet, Qin Zhen nodded, and that was it.
After that, under the guidance of Jiang Qi, the mechanism was opened three more times. Although it is said that it is thrilling every time, fortunately, no one has an accident. Just below this cold pool, let's not talk about how deep it will be. With that extremely cold temperature, it is estimated that if you fall, you will definitely die. I am really glad to have walked through these stone pillars safely!
Finally, the three of them finally stood on the largest stone pillar.
As soon as they stood up, the rest of the stone pillars sank back into the depths of the White Mist Cold Pool. Lao Gu gasped for breath and said breathlessly: "I haven't seen Shangri-La yet, I feel like I'm about to become a Buddha on the spot." What the/mother is looking for in the eyes of Shangri-La, but I haven't even seen a single eyelash yet! I'm almost tossed to death by the ruins of these mechanisms! â
Listening to Lao Gu's strange complaint, Qin Zhen didn't say anything, just glared at him helplessly. No matter what this guy encounters, he won't back down, but! He had to have a way to vent. Therefore, after getting to know each other better, no one will care about this chatter.
finally took a breath, and Lao Gu sighed again: "Gentlemen, I am definitely a good son and daughter of the chairman!" One is not afraid of hardship, the other is not afraid of death, one is not for fame, and the other is not for profit! This is Chairman Mao's highest instruction to the people! â
"Okay, Lao Gu, stop your mouth...... Why don't we let our brothers still draw you a little red flower here? You are now a sinner of the country, a fugitive who killed the major general! Recognize your place, and be a good son and daughter of the chairman...... I'm going to kill you when I go out......" Qin Zhen studied the mechanism under his feet, and pouted a few words at the same time.
Lao Gu was quite aggrieved when he said these words, and he gasped for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully: "Fu Tianlei's grandson...... I have to sweep him away as a cow ghost and a snake god! Otherwise, it's really fucking ruining the reputation of our grandfather! â
"Don't think about Fu Tianlei yet, let's stand up! It's just such a mechanism, and it's still facing the statue of Ah Ran. Needless to say, this is definitely the way to the idol. Qin Zhen looked up at the statue and said slowly. (To be continued......)
