Chapter 40: The Second Organ
I didn't even see the appearance of the hexagonal bell clearly, so Zhang Tangrui turned off the underwater searchlight, and for a while, the bottom of the water was pitch black.
Immediately afterwards, we arranged in a column according to the prior agreement, led by Zhang Tangrui in front, and the rest of us began to move forward with our waist around our waists.
I was followed by the fat man, who had great strength, and I wondered if my waist was going to be choked off by him.
In the dark, the subtle sound of the hexagonal bell, accompanied by the filtered singing of Heqing and several people, formed a noisy and strange tone. Soon, I felt like I was being brought into a hole, everyone slowed down, my skin instantly felt something like a steel wire, all around me, and at this time, everyone let go of their hands after entering the hole.
We began to fumble with the wires from which the bells were hung, and began to drill slowly forward through the cracks in them.
This is not a pleasant process, one is because of the darkness, but because of breath-holding, in short, this process is more painful, we are in the spider web-like water hole structure, groping forward, the longer the time, the more uncomfortable it is between the chest and lungs, to the back, I already feel that I am dying, my head is swollen, as if the brain marrow is beginning to beat, and there are signs of tinnitus.
As soon as this sign appeared, what hexagonal bells, what singing, all went to the clouds, I couldn't hear anything, but in front of me, Jinjing and the others were still advancing, and the fat man behind me was relatively large, and his movements were not so flexible, and he pulled down a lot of distance from me.
To tell the truth, no one in this group can believe me, and the only one who can break the bones and tendons with me is the fat man, and I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on before me, so I untie the rope hanging from my waist while moving forward, and let the rope float down the current.
As soon as the rope was loosened, it was grabbed by a pair of hands, and I felt a tightness around my waist, but it didn't stop, and I began to walk forward with the fat man.
In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore, and I began to choke in my throat, not to mention the pain, and there was only one thought in my mind: it's over, I'm still overestimating myself. It's a journey of more than four minutes.
Just when the fat man and I were both drowning and kept fluttering, thinking that we were going to die here, suddenly a pair of hands grabbed my fluttering feet and lifted me up, and the moment I got out of the water, I didn't say anything, it was heaven.
I was gasping and coughing water, and I didn't care who saved me, I felt like I was going to find the fat man, but fortunately, he was also screwed up, and he was paralyzed on the ground panting, and it was only at this point that I had time to observe my surroundings.
We are in a tunnel at the moment, the tunnel four or four methods, the past is a smoke of cyan tiles, the bricks between the yellow, should be mixed with glutinous rice.
Behind the tunnel is a waterhole, the waterhole is not big, the diameter is only one meter, and a pool of water is automatic without wind.
About ten meters in front of the tunnel is a sealed stone door.
Zhang Tangrui and the others are fine, waiting for me and the fat man to rest enough, then get up from the ground and continue to walk forward, what is the current situation, everyone knows in their hearts, we have now entered the mechanism designed by the ancestors of the Zhang family, and any next step must be careful.
But when I walked straight to the stone door, nothing happened.
The stone gate is about one person high, and there are some simple lines on it, and we know at a glance that it is a simplified unicorn pattern, and when I see this, I can't help but say: "You turn to the family, why do you worship the unicorn so much?" ”
Zhang Tangrui said: "This is related to a legend, but this legend is very scary, so don't listen to it." He didn't say any more, and then began to investigate the stone door carefully, but soon, we found the mechanism of the stone door, which was very conspicuous, and a very piercing little unicorn squatted next to the stone door, and it was difficult not to pay attention to it.
The unicorn had a bead in its mouth, and it was the kind that could move, and when he turned to the side, the stone door opened.
It was so simple that we looked at each other for a moment and thought it was a little incredible. But the simpler it is, the more bottomless my heart becomes, and the thoughts of the Zhang family can never be measured by common sense. Like this stone door in front of you.
What are doors for?
Of course, it is used to ward off thieves, but this stone door, the mechanism is set in the most conspicuous place, as if inviting you to enter.
I had a bad premonition, so I turned the flashlight forward, the space behind the stone door was still a passage, the light did not end, and the place I saw was empty, nothing.
Probably because of the unusual background of this place, as soon as they entered, everyone seemed very cautious, and at the same time they were very silent, even the fat man didn't talk about it, staring at the passage in front of him, with a thoughtful face.
Finally, Zhang Tangrui said: "Let's go." "When he made this decision, he obviously made a lot of determination, after all, he is the leader of this group, and the ancestors of the Zhang family are powerful, it is estimated that they have a deeper understanding than me and the fat man.
We lined up in a column with flashlights to enter in turn, by Zhang Tangrui in front of the thunder, the people behind, every step on the front of the people to land, in case there are any other organs on the ground, I am walking in the last, when I step in, only to hear a loud bang behind me, the stone gate behind suddenly fell below, sealing our retreat.
In this place, all of us felt a sense of tension, and this appearance immediately startled us. The fat man hissed and said, "It's nothing to close the door, the fat man has met a lot, but this door is too accurate, naïve You closed it as soon as you stepped in, just like you can count." ”
When he said this, I couldn't help but feel strange, in the past, we have encountered several times when the tomb door was silently closed, to be honest, I have developed antibodies, but this time it is a little different, just like the fat man said, this tunnel, as if it can count, pinched the gap between me and entered the tunnel, and closed with a bang. It's as if there's a wise thing in the dark that keeps an eye on us, and then waits for us to enter one by one and then closes the door at once.
I didn't know the bottom of my heart, and the rest of the people's faces also changed color, and finally Zhang Tangrui thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry about it, maybe there is some kind of weighing mechanism under this floor, which can be controlled according to the weight on both sides of the stone gate, this is nothing impossible, and ......" Zhang Tangrui didn't finish speaking, Jinjing suddenly sighed, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
I saw that the flashlight in our hands suddenly began to flicker non-stop, as if the power was about to run out of power.
The fat man laughed dryly and said, "This mechanism is quite awesome, take the initiative to help us control the flashlight." "It's understandable that a flashlight had an accident, but there were seven of us and a total of three flashlights, and there was a problem at the same time, which was a little wrong.
Before we could react, all three flashlights went out.
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this is a mechanism designed by the Zhang family, just guarding the door has set up a hexagonal bell array, God knows what will be here. As soon as the flashlight went out, Zhang Tangrui immediately said: "Be careful, something will definitely come out." ”
In the darkness, several of us immediately stood back to back, carrying weapons on guard, but for a long time, there was no movement except the sound of our breathing.
Danger often occurs when people's spirits are the most lax, I and the fat man are both people who have suffered losses, naturally dare not be careless, and the Zhang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, we stood in the dark for ten minutes, no one relaxed their vigilance.
The more this is the case, the more bottomless we are in our hearts, and finally Jinjing said: "This black hole is empty, and I can't see anything clearly, so let's light it first." "Our flashlight, as soon as we entered here, we lost our sight for no reason, although there are still two in the equipment bag, but it is estimated that the end will be similar, after Jinjing finished speaking, I took out a lighter directly from the bag and lit it.
At the moment when I lit it, there was a fire in front of me, almost scorching my hair, and I was so frightened that I thought it was a leak from the lighter, so I threw the lighter out at once. But after the lighter was thrown out, there were still flames in the air, and the fire was like a gas leak, burning in an instant, and in an instant, we were all trapped in the fire.
It can't be said to be sleepy, but trapped.
Because the fire burned in the air, all of us were ignited.
There is no fluke, there are too many times in my life when I am desperate, but this time, there is no fluke at all, my whole person has become a fire man, not only me, but also other people, the moment I lit the lighter, the whole tunnel, was surrounded by flames that ignited out of thin air.
The moment the heat hit, I understood everything.
It's a trap, it's a second trap!
If I'm not mistaken, this second section of authentic materials should be somewhat special, which can destroy the light source of the flashlight, maybe not destruction, but just some kind of interference of the current, so that the flashlight cannot be used, and in this case, it is bound to use an open flame.
And here, it is full of gases that can be ignited!
I don't know what this gas is, I just know that we got it.
Almost instantly, everyone screamed in pain, the fire had not yet burned out the clothes we were wearing, plus we were all wearing gas masks, for a while we still had a chance to breathe, but the heat alone was already painful.
Moreover, we also put explosives in our backpacks. The explosives are placed in the middle of the backpack and have not been burned for a while, but if they do...... Then we'll ......
At this moment, it was the fat man who reacted first, he didn't even have time to scold his mother, he just shouted: "Run!" "At this moment, the stone gate behind us was blocked, I didn't think about it, everyone ran forward, this pain was worse than drowning, it was slowly burning, the pain of burning my body, if it wasn't for the gas mask on my face, I would definitely be burned and I couldn't open my eyes.
