The second uncle shook his head helplessly, "I don't understand this, as the name suggests, the self-closing type is an organ that can close by itself." The main purpose of the mechanism in the tomb is to defend, not destroy. Therefore, the seawater cannot always remain in this tomb, it must be discharged automatically, and after the seawater is discharged, the tomb will return to its original state. This is called a self-closing mechanism. ”

I was a little surprised by what the second uncle said, "Second uncle, what you said is really false?" This is self-contained, completely intelligent! ”

The second uncle smiled faintly, "The scientific and technological level of the ancients may not be comparable to the present, but the handicraft skills and wisdom of the ancients are by no means comparable to the current people." For example, the mechanism here, the so-called mechanism, must have a source of power, and rely on this power to drive the operation of the mechanism. In the tomb just now, it was the coffin sinking, the statue releasing water, and even the tomb roof pressing, so many large organs, there must be enough power. This is the largest and most convenient source of power in the sea, and it must be the power of the tides. ”

I probably understood what the second uncle meant, so I said, "Second uncle, are you saying that we will wait here until this organ closes by itself, and then we will go out again?" ”

The second uncle nodded, "That's right, the tides are cyclical, and the ebb and flow of the tide will inevitably have an impact on the organs." Saying that, the second uncle patted Lantern Xiao, "What time is it?" ”

Lantern Xiao showed the diving watch on his wrist to the second uncle, and the second uncle nodded, "I estimate that it will be less than seven hours, that is, it should be the time of the ebb and flow, let's look at it then!" ”

Then the second uncle continued: "Anyway, this square hole is also blocked, we can rest here first, and when the tide falls, let's go out not too late." After speaking, the second uncle patted the half-dried clothes that had been baked, closed his eyes and leaned against the cave wall.

I saw that the second uncle was so leisurely, so I also settled down and rested against the wall. Lantern Xiao sat at the very edge of the cave, he seemed to be still worried about Zhou Cheng's safety, and poked his head out from time to time to look around. I can guess that Lantern Xiao's heart is far from being as relaxed as it seems on the surface.

Wen Mo was still sitting quietly on the side, but he didn't close his eyes to rest, but looked blankly at his front, as if he was thinking about something. I know that Wenmo must have discovered something, but it seems that he is not sure yet, I still trust Wenmo so far, and I believe that if there is indeed danger, he will definitely warn us. Thinking of this, I also closed my eyes and rested against the wall.

Maybe I was too tired, and soon I fell asleep in a daze. But in such an environment, how can I sleep soundly, I feel like I am always in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake. From time to time, I will wake up, and then fall asleep, in short, I sleep very uncomfortable, but what can I hope for here, my biggest wish now is not a dark instrument or anything at all, I just want to lie in bed and sleep comfortably until I wake up naturally.

I was in a daze, when suddenly I faintly heard a voice next to me saying, "This place is in danger, it's best to get out of here as soon as possible!" ”

I was startled and opened my eyes all at once. My mind hadn't fully recovered yet, but I felt that it was Wenmo's voice, so I looked at Wenmo suspiciously: "Wenmo, did you speak just now?" What did you say? ”

Wen Mo looked at us, and then said very seriously: "I said, there is something strange about this place, we should leave immediately!" ”

"Why?" Lantern Xiao didn't quite understand, "I don't think there's a problem with this!" Besides, where else can we go? ”

The second uncle also spoke: "Wenmo, did you find something?" ”

Wen Mo was silent, and the rest of us all looked at him with an earnest gaze, and after a while, Wen Mo spoke: "Actually, just now, I have been doubting the role of this square hole, there were no large machinery in the Qin Dynasty, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to make such a square hole, it cannot be meaningless." ”

I hurriedly asked, "So you've seen through the secrets behind this?" ”

Wen Mo nodded, "If I remember correctly, this should be a kind of maze, built in the tomb to prevent theft." This practice is quite ancient, it has been lost after the Qin and Han dynasties, and even the ancient tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties are rarely used, only in the tombs of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which are occasionally found. ”

Hearing Wen Mo say this, it seems that this is a kind of mechanism, I can't help but be a little nervous, and subconsciously stay away from the wall, for fear that something will suddenly come out of it.

Wen Mo looked at us with a blank expression, so he had to turn his head to look at the second uncle, "Have the second master ever heard of the Liuyi Escape Gate?" ”

The second uncle was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became very surprised, and he nodded again and again, and said, "Huh? Could it be this? I just heard my father mention a few words before, but I didn't expect to meet it today. ”

Lantern Xiao and I couldn't understand what they were talking about, so we asked, "What is this Liuyi Escape Gate?" ”

The second uncle told us that this Liuyi Dunmen is complicated to say, it is evolved from the Qimen Dunjia, designed by a strange person in ancient times, and then integrated into the art of feng shui, which is commonly found in ancient tombs.

In fact, when it comes to Qimen Dunjia, many people think that it is mysterious and mysterious, and some people even think of it as a kind of spell. But in fact, Qimen Dunjia is not a spell, but a book about the number of spells. Its role is more reflected in the military, such as the Yellow Emperor, Jiang Taigong, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, these people are deep in the mystery of Qimen Dunjia.

And Qimen Dunjia, in fact, is composed of three parts, namely "Qi", which includes B and Ding, these three odds. The "door" is the eight doors of rest, life, injury, Du, scenery, shock, death, and opening. The rest of the "Dunjia" means to hide the "Jia", because the "Jia" is the most noble in the heavenly stems, and the meaning of this "Dunjia" is to hide important things. As for where it is hidden, it is hidden in the heavenly stems, such as E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Non, and Gui, which are the "six instruments".

And what we call the Liuyi Dunmen, which is different from the eight gates in the Qimen Dunjia, is simplified into six gates, among the six gates, only the Shengmen is Jimen, and the rest are all fierce gates. To put it simply, the Liuyi Gate is to hide the only living gate in the Six Gates.

After listening to the second uncle's explanation, I probably understood a little, so I asked: "What do you mean, that is, the square hole we are in now is one of the six gates, but I don't know if it is Jimen or Fierce Gate." Isn't that so? ”

The second uncle nodded, "That's right." ”

No way! I scolded in my heart, I knew that this series of organs was not so simple, and there was indeed a follow-up. MD Isn't the person who designed this mechanism a bit perverted, he likes to play this kind of cat and mouse game.

I hurriedly asked, "Then how do you know that this square cave we are in is a living gate or a murderous gate?" ”

Lantern Xiao heaved, "Nine times out of ten, it is a murderous door, choose one out of six, then it was so coincidentally selected by us, when I was in school, every time I took the exam, I was asked for multiple choice questions, and I basically never got it right!" ”

"Shut up, uncle!" I scolded Lantern Xiao, "You can't say something auspicious!" After speaking, I turned my head to look at Wenmo, looking forward to Wenmo's negative Lantern Festival's answer with a kind of luck.

But the reality often backfires, Wen Mo nodded and said: "Lantern Xiao is right, from the situation that this place is sealed, it can be seen that this is indeed a murderous door. ”

"However, it's not quite right," I still didn't give up, and continued: "We've been here for so long, and nothing dangerous has happened, and this is sealed, does it mean that this Liuyi Retreat mechanism has also been abandoned?" ”

The second uncle sighed, "It can't be said that there is no such possibility, but judging from the series of organs outside, this possibility seems to be very small." ”

I started to get nervous, "What dangerous thing is going to happen?" ”

Wenmo looked at me and said, "Don't you notice that this place is a little similar to another place?" ”

"Like another place?" I didn't react for a while. "Then ......" Before I finished speaking, I suddenly heard Lantern Xiao shouting: "Damn!" What the hell is this! ”

We hurriedly turned our heads to look, and saw Lantern Xiao digging out something with a short knife from the brick crack near the entrance of the cave.

It was a round bar, about five centimeters long, with a gelatinous yellow color, but it had become dry and hard.

Lantern Xiao took it in his hand and looked at it, then sniffed it again, and shook his head, "I can't see what this is?" Then he handed it to us, "Look, who's going to recognize what this thing is?" ”

I really didn't have any clue, but the second uncle just glanced at it, and his face changed.

When Lantern Xiao saw this expression of the second uncle, she asked, "Second uncle, it seems that you know this?" ”

The second uncle nodded slightly, and the words he said made us creepy, "This is a human finger!" ”

Hearing this, Lantern Xiao was stunned at first, and then threw that finger to the ground with an "ah" sound.

Lantern Xiao rubbed the hand holding the severed finger just now on his clothes, "Uncle! How could this have this thing! ”

I looked at Lantern Xiao and felt a little funny, "This finger is hidden so deeply, you can find it, don't say anything, this is fate!" ”

Lantern Xiao glanced at me, "You don't squeeze me!" However," Lan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "What has this person experienced, he actually put his fingers into the brick cracks in pain." This sentence of Lantern Festival suddenly made me feel an inexplicable fear.

Wen Mo reached out and picked up the severed finger on the ground, put it in his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said, "This finger has been melted." ”

Wenmo's words made my heart shake and melt? Melted corpses?

Suddenly, the horrific scene I first encountered in the cave came to my mind, and that experience still haunts me.
