Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 72 The Disappearing Coffin
Hearing Wen Mo's question, I nodded helplessly. Originally, I was able to get rid of the earth dragon without danger, which made me feel a little glad in my heart, after all, such a strange thing did not cause us any loss, but now it seems that I am really happy a little early.
When Lantern Xiao saw the conversation between me and Wenmo, she asked curiously, "What?" What do you hear? ”
I looked around at the pitch black and replied, "A strange sound." Didn't you hear? ”
Lantern Xiao listened carefully, then shook her head, "I don't have as perverted hearing as you, I haven't heard anything." As soon as the Lantern Festival voice fell, he immediately said, "Hey? "How do I hear the sound of running water?" ”
That's right, I also heard the sound of running water, and the strange sound just now is no longer audible. And the sound of running water was so loud that not only Wenmo and I heard it, but everyone else also heard it.
For this sudden change, several of us were all nervous, everyone stood up, raised the flashlight and looked around, Zhou Cheng pointed to the bottom and said: "It seems to be the sound from the stone statue below." ”
We hurriedly returned along the same road, and came to the place of the Poseidon statue on the next floor, and sure enough, a large amount of seawater gushed out from the mouth of the statue and the base, and it seemed that the flow was still increasing, and the water under our feet was increasing, and the water on this platform had passed the surface of our feet, and it was still flowing to the next layer.
And I know that the water on the next level may be deeper because there are two more statues underneath. It suddenly dawned on me that at the beginning, I thought that there was a point in placing such statues of the sea gods in the tomb, was it just because the mausoleum was in the sea, but now it seems that it is really not so simple!
I was a little flustered, "What's going on!?" ”
The second uncle scratched his head irritably, "MD, it seems that we have been tricked again, there must be a mechanism on the coffin just now, we must have inadvertently touched something when we tossed just now!" ”
I think the second uncle's analysis is very reasonable, the only thing we have touched here at present is the coffin, if the mechanism is touched by us, then it must be in that coffin.
Lantern Xiao looked at the rushing water under her feet, raised her foot, and asked, "Then, what should we do?" ”
The second uncle waved his hand, "Let's go back now, take a closer look at the coffin, and find out if there is any setting to turn off the mechanism." ”
I nodded, "Okay, let's go up first, anyway, the place is also high, and the water won't go up for a while." ”
Lantern Xiao sneered, "Hmph, this mechanism must have been designed from the beginning, I don't believe it, the tomb owner can let his own mechanism flood his tomb?!" There must be a way to crack it, or it's just a bluff! ”
But I don't think so, such a delicate mechanism, I'm afraid it's not just a show, but I haven't figured out the purpose of this organ for a while, is this organ really going to fill the entire mausoleum with seawater in the end, and end up together? I don't think that's likely. For now, it's best to find a way to close the mechanism on that coffin.
At this time, I didn't have time to think about it, and followed the second uncle and they hurriedly returned to the top of the altar. But when we returned there, we were stunned by the sight!
In front of us was an empty circular platform with only a few of our backpacks and a dried corpse on it. Lantern Xiao stammered a little and said: "He, his uncle's, just, where did the big coffin, coffin, TM's just now!" ”
That's how it went, everything in front of us, we couldn't believe our eyes, if it weren't for so many people who had experienced it, I would have thought that the scene of the coffin I saw just now was my own hallucination, but now the facts are in front of us, and the big coffin disappeared out of thin air on this platform.
Lantern Xiao scratched her head blankly, "Damn, did we fall David Copperfield's tomb!" Is the tomb owner magician? ”
I was really not in the mood to deal with the habitual poor mouth of the Lantern Festival, regardless of the occasion, so we walked to the center of the platform, where the coffin had been placed just now, and there was nothing here. Only the corpse that rolled to the side could let us know that what we had just experienced was real.
Wen Mo squatted down and checked the ground, "There must be a mechanism set up down here, just when we left here just now, the coffin was sunk under the platform." ”
The second uncle nodded, "That's the only possibility." This has cut off our back road, and it is impossible to re-study the mechanism now. Let's hurry up and think of something else. ”
"In my opinion!" Lantern Xiao said and picked up his equipment, "Let's hurry up and rush into the main tomb as fast as possible now, and take away everything that should be taken inside." Get out before the water fills up! ”
I also picked up my equipment and said to Lantern Xiaoshuo: "Don't talk nonsense, don't forget that we have no way to retreat now, there are only two ways in front of us at present, the first is to drown in the water, and the second is to 'drown' in those vajra beetles in the shadow hall above." I'd rather be drowned in the water than the two! ”
Lantern Xiao thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is a secret passage leading to the outside in the main tomb!" ”
I think Lantern Festival is trying to use the meditation weapon and want to go crazy, "How is it possible!" The main burial chamber is connected to the outside, is it because you are afraid that your tomb will not be easy to be stolen? This is for the sake of our group of inverted fighters! Can you use your brain to speak again! ”
Lantern Xiao was not convinced, "Then you tell me what to do, you can't move forward, you can't go back, you can't wait for death here!" ”
The second uncle waved his hand, "Okay, you two don't quarrel, when is this coming, let's talk about it from here first, maybe ......something else" The second uncle's words were not finished, only a few loud "knocks" came from around us.
Frightened, we shrank our necks, and Lantern Xiao hurriedly looked around, "What's the matter?" Shots? Impossible. "It's not just the Lantern Festival, but I don't actually hear what it is.
We all bowed down, the surrounding situation was unknown, none of us dared to act rashly, I asked the second uncle in a low voice, "Second uncle, what happened?" The second uncle shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much either.
At this moment, Wen Mo jumped up suddenly, said "not good", jumped off the altar in a few steps, and disappeared into the darkness.
We didn't understand what Wenmo meant, and Lantern Xiao looked at Wenmo's disappearing back blankly, "No, the boss is oiled on the soles of his feet at a critical moment - slippery?!" ”
I glanced at Lantern Xiao, "You can't forget your words after a break, but I don't think Wenmo is such a person." ”
Zhou Cheng walked over, took out his gun, and said, "Anyway, let's go over and take a look, we can't do anything here." ”
The water level of the whole chamber is rising fast, which is a bit unexpected, I think it will take a long time to fill all the tombs at this rate, but now the water level is already above the first platform.
In this case, there are only two possibilities, the first is that there are water inlets in other tombs, and many places fill the tombs with water at the same time, and it is possible that the water level will rise at this rate, but I always feel that this one is unlikely. So there is only the second possibility, and that is that our burial chamber is sealed.
As soon as this thought appeared, I immediately realized that I suddenly understood what the loud "dong dong" sound was just now, and I also understood why Wenmo was so nervous just now.
We came down from the altar, and by this time the water in the burial chamber was up to our chests, and several of us were all immersed in the water. We didn't go far back in the direction we came, and we saw Wenmo swimming towards us, and the second uncle hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
Wen Mo shook his head, "No, the door when I came has been sealed by a stone door. ”
My heart sank, and sure enough, it was.
Lantern Xiao and Zhou Cheng also swam up, "Let's hurry up and look at the other exits, it won't be long before this place will be filled!" ”
I cursed in my heart, it seems that the tomb owner intends to trap us here and drown. This trick is so poisonous! The second uncle once told me that the more the mechanism uses natural resources, the more difficult it is to crack. The more artificially designed the mechanism, the easier it is to deal with. The odds of winning or losing a fight with others are five to five, and the odds of winning a fight with nature are really slim.
The mechanism we are encountering at the moment is clearly taking advantage of the fact that the mausoleum was built on the sea and introducing seawater into the tomb. Such an anti-theft design is really simple and practical.
A few of us swam in the water to the left side of the tomb, and after a short time, a stone door appeared in front of us, and we went up to check it, this stone door was completely tailored to match this mechanism, and the outer circle of the stone door abandoned the traditional results of the left and right doors, but adopted the method of a gate, and the stone door fell vertically from the top of the doorway. Such a heavy stone door, unless the mechanism is lifted, it is absolutely impossible to lift it with the strength of a few of us.
We had to give up and continue along the tomb wall again. After we had turned a corner, another stone door appeared in front of us, much larger than the one we had just seen, and it was facing the direction we had come. However, this stone gate is still in the form of a gate, so we are very interested in decisively giving up.
The second uncle looked at the direction and told us that the internal structure of the mausoleum during the Qin Dynasty was not very complicated, and the mausoleum was built on an island with limited space, so the tomb behind this stone door should be the main tomb. The bluestone gate outside should be built to cooperate with the mechanism, and there should be another door behind the bluestone gate, which is the official main tomb door.
