Chapter 145: The entrance to the next level of the castle
Nowadays, no matter what kind of door, as long as it is in this environment, we will habitually check whether there is a trap on the door, and then open the door.
Although the door here is not the door of the tomb, we still checked it, and when we were sure that there were no traps, we were going to look for the mechanism that opened the door, only to find that this door had a handle, and with a light push, this door could be opened.
When we opened the door, the things behind it were different from the rooms we had seen when we pushed them open. Behind this door is a large space, like a square, the size of a basketball hall, and the light inside is very strong, only to find that the roof is leaking after entering.
After everyone turned it off, they all put the oil lamp in their hands on the ground, and listened to Kong Sanye's instructions to find a plum blossom-shaped mark in this space, as for why they were looking for it, Kong Sanye didn't elaborate.
Except for Zheng Wen, who was seriously injured, the rest of us began to look for it. Looking at Zheng Wen sitting in the middle of the venue over there, he felt that it was just right that he didn't look for it, if he found some secrets, such as his grandfather's mark, it would be a bad thing for him to meet.
"Third Master Kong, how big is the plum blossom mark?" The big head was in the direction next to me, and after carefully looking around, he didn't find anything, and shouted directly at Kong Sanye.
"I don't know, let's look carefully." Kong Sanye's words made people feel the urge to vomit blood, he didn't know, let's find it, we really don't know how to find it, so we can only hold on.
Six or seven people, after searching for more than half an hour, still didn't find anything, and then we all stopped and stared at Kong Sanye tightly, hoping that he could give us instructions on what to do next.
The sky outside is getting darker, and the light inside is getting darker. Kong Sanye still didn't want to give up, so let's light the oil lamp and continue to find the plum blossom mark. There is no way, since Kong Sanye said that the plum blossom mark is very important, we can only find it according to his meaning.
Datou and Datuan went to light the oil lamp separately, I looked at it, and also took out the lighter in the plastic bag from the tattered backpack, walked to the oil lamp in the northeast corner, and lit it directly. Just as I was about to leave, I was attracted by a mark next to the oil lamp.
The imprint can be said to coincide, and the cross-shaped notch on the plum blossom mark is obliquely blocked behind the oil lamp, and if you don't look closely, such a small imprint can easily be ignored. The cross-shaped mark must be the mark left by grandpa, and the plum blossom-shaped mark is the one that Kong Sanye asked us to find.
"Third Master Kong, come and take a look here." I hurriedly beckoned to Kong Sanye's side and asked Kong Sanye to come and see. Hearing my voice, Kong Sanye and the big head and the big group Lao Zhou came over, Zheng Wen has been uncomfortable due to physical reasons, and he can't get over lying there.
After Kong Sanye came over, he took a look at it and said directly to me: "That's right, it's here, Qiangzi, big head, a big group, a few of you together, open this place, there must be a door in the wall here." ”
The three of me and the big head and the big group looked at Kong Sanye suspiciously, but since Kong Sanye had done it, I took out the shovel again directly from the backpack, threw all the other things to Lao Zhou for safekeeping, and began to pick it up.
While doing it, I was still paying attention to the situation of the jade pendant on my chest, and the jade pendant had no signs of being hot, so I dared to start digging through the wall with the big head and the big group. Sure enough, after digging out a layer of bricks, I saw another door in the wall.
This door is different from the other doors in the villa, because this one is a stone door, but it is the same style as the stone door in the ancient tomb in Shandong before. After seeing the stone gate, he turned around and wanted Kong Sanye to take a look, only to find that Kong Sanye actually ran over and helped Zheng Wen over with the people over there.
Seeing that we were all standing there, looking at him, Kong Sanye asked with some confusion: "Qiangzi, why are you stunned, open the stone door." ”
Only then did we react and began to open the stone door. There were no traps in the stone gate, and the mechanism was easy to find, so it didn't take long for the stone gate to be opened.
Behind the stone gate, there was a huge space, more than ten times larger than the one I had just seen. The moment he saw this space, Kong Sanye almost jumped up like a child, and shouted: "This is it, that's right, it's here." ”
Just when Kong Sanye was very excited, the big head pulled back Kong Sanye, who was walking in the front, and just when he pulled it back, where Kong Sanye was standing just now, several iron nails shot out from the side and pierced into the ground tightly, leaving only a little nail head.
"Third Master Kong, where is this?" It scared Kong Sanye a lot just now, and after waiting for a while, I calmed down before I asked Kong Sanye.
Kong Sanye still didn't seem to have recovered much, and he exhaled deeply before he said to us: "This is the core of the mouth of this ancient castle, the map shows that you can find that exit from here, go out from here." ”
Going out is very powerful for us, but I really don't want to go, at least I don't want to go before I see my grandfather, and I can see that Zheng Wen must have another purpose when he came here, not just to find a way out, maybe Kong Sanye also has some purpose, or maybe grandpa came here to have something to do with their purpose.
"But, Third Master Kong, how are we going to get through here?" Da Tuan pointed to the place where Kong Sanye was standing just now, and the nail head was very dazzling there.
Looking at the nail head, Kong Sanye was also silent, the space here is very large, but it is also empty, and you can encounter danger if you take a step forward. Kong Sanye found an empty glass bottle from his backpack and threw it directly into the air, but not far after throwing it out, he directly smashed the iron nail and fell to the ground.
At this scene, I and the big head and the big group of Kong Sanye all took two steps back in unison, and went directly to the stone door that had just opened.
Kong Sanye turned his head again and asked Zheng Wen to study the brocade silk together, as if there was a way to crack the brocade, but a few of us were not interested in it. It's not that I don't want to know how to get there, but I don't want to stay with Zheng Wen. So a few of us gathered around and began to comfort Lao Zhou.
After discussing for more than half an hour, Kong Sanye walked over confidently. Seeing the expression on Kong Sanye's face, I knew that he must have found a way.
"Hadron, big head, big group, follow me, be sure to step on my footprints, don't deviate from every step." After Kong Sanye came over and said a word to us, he began to walk towards the middle.
When Kong Sanye took the first step, I saw that his whole body trembled slightly, although he was sure of the past, but it did not mean that he would not make a mistake, if he made a mistake here, he might stay here for the rest of his life. When Kong Sanye's first step was solid and found that there was no danger, all of us breathed a sigh of relief.
The second person who followed Kong Sanye was me, because the dragon pattern knife was in my hand. If there is any problem in the front, it can be dealt with at any time, and the most important thing is to ensure that Kong Sanye must not have problems. Now Kong Sanye is taking us over, the only guarantee.
Behind me are the big head and the big group, and every time Kong Sanye takes a step forward, he is cautious. I didn't once Kong Sanye's feet just lifted, and I stepped directly on the place where his footprints were just now, only in this way would I feel safer.
This short distance that seems to be less than a hundred meters, we walked for about fifteen or sixteen minutes, and we only walked halfway, and the next one was even more difficult to walk, because Kong Sanye walked even more incomprehensibly, and he actually went around in a big circle, but fortunately, such a big circle, he didn't take a wrong step.
When he was walking with Kong Sanye, he suddenly heard the sound of something falling behind him, followed by a clanging sound. This voice startled me, and Kong Sanye in front of me also stopped. Looking behind, I found that the big shovel had fallen to the ground, and at this moment, the shovel lying on the ground was full of iron nails, and it was nailed to the ground.
After making sure that no one was injured, Kong Sanye began to walk forward again. During the whole period, none of us spoke, did not dare to speak, and were even afraid to say a word, which distracted us, and then we were nailed to the ground by a shower of iron nails.
Finally, half an hour later, we were in the middle of the entire space. I felt that Kong Sanye's obvious figure was loosened, and the whole person relaxed, and he sat directly on the ground. Seeing Kong Sanye's big grinning posture, I knew that it should be safe here, but for the sake of insurance, I still sat down next to Kong Sanye.
This section of the road may have been a difficult part of the road since entering here, just a few hundred meters, we walked for more than half an hour, and our lives were in danger at any time.
"Third Master Kong, have we arrived?" After the big head came over, he sat down on the other side of Kong Sanye, and it seemed that he was as tired as us.
"It's here, when everyone has a good rest, we can get started." When he saw everyone coming over and sitting in the middle of the venue, Kong Sanye took out a bottle of water from his backpack and poured it into a few sips and said.
Seeing Kong Sanye take out the water to drink, I realized that I was also dry, so I directly took out a bottle and started to pour it. And Kong Sanye came to Zheng Wen's side again and began to study the brocade silk. This time, because everyone was relatively close, we all heard what they were discussing very clearly.
It turns out that the exit is not here, not on this floor to be exact, but on the next floor. To enter the next floor, you must first enter the very center of the castle and find the mechanism from here to open the next floor.
After resting for almost half an hour, Kong Sanye stood up and began to assign tasks, drawing a line with his feet over there as he spoke: "Big head, strong son, the big group will get up and help start looking for the entrance, remember that this line must not be allowed to pass." ”
The line drawn by Kong Sanye is the half of the space we came over, and if we don't follow the correct route over there, it is very likely that we will be nailed directly to the ground, and the shovel with the big head is a living example.
This time, finding the entrance was much faster than expected, because Kong Sanye said that we were going to enter the next floor, so everyone paid attention to the ground. I don't know if we were lucky or too lucky, but the place where we are sitting now is the entrance to the next floor, and I directly knocked on the ground with a shovel a few times to determine that the bottom is empty.
Although we didn't find the mechanism, several people started digging down from here, and it didn't take long to dig until we reached the stone steps leading to the bottom, and a cool breath came out of the mouth that was dug out, and people couldn't help but shiver.
