The rocker in the octagonal coffin shook very hard, Chen Ziyang endured the pain in his chest, and slowly shook the rocker, every time he turned the rocker around, the octagonal coffin would drop down a distance of more than ten centimeters. Just after Chen Ziyang turned the crank and lowered the octagonal coffin a few meters, suddenly, he felt that the strength of the crank in his hand was loosened, and it was effortless to shake the crank.

This feeling made Chen Ziyang's heart skip a beat, and he felt that this crank seemed to have been tripped. Then the speed of the octagonal coffin's descent suddenly accelerated, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness made everyone shudder. Could it be that the falling mechanism has been loose for too long? If you fall like that, you might fall to pieces.

But then Chen Ziyang found that this was not the case, although the speed of the elevator descent suddenly accelerated, and at the same time the crank in his hand did not have the slightest effect, but he found that the speed of the elevator descent is always uniform, and within the controllable speed range, the speed of this descent should be normal, maybe this mechanism was designed at the time, otherwise, it would take a turn to drop more than ten centimeters, if it falls to the bottom, it must not exhaust people to death.

And Chen Ziyang found that as the speed of the elevator descent suddenly accelerated, the golden gear next to the crank disappeared again, I don't know where it turned, Xiao Na also saw the disappearance of the golden gear, showing a very helpless expression.

"This turtle grandson who designed the underground palace is also really, I knew that he would design this kind of elevator, why didn't he put such a one in that rotating passage, so that we walked for so long, and I was dizzy." Yang Lei helped Wang Ming, his mouth was not idle, and he was cursing vigorously.

As the elevator descended, a strong smell of blood came to her face, and Xiao Na asked everyone to put on gas masks again. Smelling this familiar smell of blood again, Chen Ziyang's curiosity was aroused, it seems that the answer to this smell of blood should be below, such a strong smell proves that the source of this smell of blood should be below.

The elevator went down at a constant speed for a few minutes, and I don't know how far it fell, and then there was a click, and the elevator stopped suddenly, and the sudden shaking made everyone stand unsteadily, Yang Lei helped Wang Ming and almost fell to the ground, Wang Ming was also grinning in pain, and even he felt that there was a wound on his leg that seemed to break open under this sudden.

The elevator suddenly came into contact with the ground, and a large amount of dust was raised, and at the same time, because the dust in the previous lifting shaft also fell, everyone was surrounded in a piece of dust, and in an instant, the top of everyone's heads was covered with a layer of dust and turned white. Fortunately, everyone was wearing gas masks, and the smoke did not cause them much harm, but their vision was temporarily limited.

Two gun-wielding team members took the lead, others followed, Yang Lei carried Wang Ming to walk at the end of the line, and a group of ten people walked out of the elevator of the octagonal coffin and entered the passage in front.

The passage is very short, and after walking out of the passage, there is no obstruction of smoke and dust, and the flashlights in everyone's hands can illuminate objects within a range of more than 100 meters. Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai at the back of the team lit torches and illuminated the surroundings very brightly.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, everyone saw that they were on a semi-circular stone platform, and the place where everyone stood was the center of the stone platform, the edge of the stone platform was pitch black, and it was estimated that there was an abyss below, and at the same time, the sound of water filled the entire space.

Several flashlight beams irradiated a circle on the left and right, and the things illuminated by the flashlight surprised everyone, on the stone walls around this underground space, there were rows of neat shrines, these shrines were densely packed, from bottom to top, covering the stone walls of the entire space, and I don't know how many there were. Inside the shrines, there are exactly the same things that resemble Vajra sculptures.

These King Kong sculptures are about one meter high, only slightly smaller than the shrine, and at the same time, each King Kong sculpture holds a different weapon in its hand, some are axes, some are swords, in short, whether it is a weapon that everyone has seen or has not seen, almost all of them are included, and each King Kong sculpture has a hideous face.

In the middle of this semicircular platform, a stone path connects to the platform, leading to the edge of a stone platform in front of it. The stone path is not overhang, and there is still a mountain wall below, which extends into a deep stream.

The stone path is relatively wide, about two meters long, and can accommodate two or three people walking side by side. Under the illumination of the flashlight, everyone can see that the stone road is at least dozens of meters long, and then there is nothing to see because of the limitation of the flashlight beam.

On both sides of this semi-circular stone platform, there are still two stone mortars, Xiao Na asked Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai to go over to check separately, and the inside of the stone mortar is still a cloth rope twisted from ointment and cloth strips, which is different from the stone mortar in the coffin array before, the volume of these two stone mortars is relatively small, and the stone trough connected to the stone mortar is also relatively thin. Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai coincidentally lit the two stone mortars with the torches in their hands.

The stone mortar still burned with flames, but this flame was much smaller than the flame in the coffin array before, the flame extended to both sides, divided into countless branches, in front of each row of King Kong sculptures, there was a small fire dragon burning, and after a while, the walls of the entire space were full of rows of flames. The flames flickered, and the black shadows behind these King Kong sculptures moved left and right, and it looked as if all these King Kong sculptures were alive.

The entire underground space was brightly lit, and at this time everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, the entire underground space was a circle with a diameter of about five hundred meters. The height is about 100 meters, and the edge of the twenty is indeed an abyss, but I don't know how deep it is below.

On the walls of more than 100 meters, there are all shrines containing King Kong sculptures. The crowd looked up along the rows of sculptures until they could see the top of the sculptures, and all of them opened their mouths in surprise.

On the space of more than 100 meters above everyone's heads, there is no imaginary stone top, the top of the entire space is composed of countless large and small gears intertwined, the diameter of the large of these gears is more than ten meters long, the small one is only the size of a fist, all the gears are horizontal or vertical, stuck together and rotating.

The stone bridge leads to a platform in the middle of the entire space, and the platform is full of condensed red mist, which moves slowly, and what is in the middle of the mist is not visible at all, and these thick fogs completely obscure everyone's view.

In the left and right of the whole space, near the top of the space, there is a waterfall more than 20 meters wide, the water in the waterfall gushes out of the drainage, and under each waterfall, there are more than a dozen huge waterwheels side by side, which rotate slowly under the impact of the waterfall.

These twenty or so waterwheels were the same size as the huge waterwheel that Chen Ziyang and the others had encountered before, but such a huge waterwheel was not so conspicuous in this underground space.

On these waterwheels, there are some horizontal or vertical bearings, which are also slowly rotating with the waterwheels, and at the same time, the bearings extend to the gears at the top of the space.

Chen Ziyang thought that his previous guess was not wrong, and the power of these mechanisms in the entire underground palace came from these huge waterwheels. The water from the waterfall passed through the waterwheel and dispersed into countless thin lines, which fell into the abyss below and were never seen again.

Suddenly, a huge object swept in front of everyone, startling everyone, Chen Ziyang looked over and found that what had slipped in front of them was actually a lever hanging in mid-air, with a huge bucket standing at one end of this lever, and a huge gear placed horizontally connected to the other.

Because one side of the gear was heavier, the end of the lever where the gear was placed sank underneath, and the bucket on the other end was lifted high. As the lever swirled, the bucket was turned underneath a waterfall.

Just as the bucket passed through this wide waterfall, the speed of the lever slowly decreased, and the water in the waterfall slowly filled the bucket, and at the same time, the lever on this side of the bucket slowly descended, and another huge gear was cocked high, and this gear slowly rose, and then rose to the countless gears in the entire space, and several relatively large gears were clamped together, and the lever did not move.

With the embedding of this gear on the lever, some of the stationary gears at the top of the space actually rotated along with the embedded gears. After about a few minutes, a huge horizontal wooden bar, driven by a huge gear, slowly swept past, touching the huge bucket.

Under the touch of this wooden stick, the bucket rotated 180 degrees, turned into a bucket of masks, and hung upside down on the lever, and then the water in the bucket poured down and fell into the abyss, and at the same time, this end of the bucket slowly rose again because of the weight reduction.

The huge gear attached to the lever quickly descended, detached from the countless gears at the top, and at the same time, the gears that had been driven by it to rotate also came to a standstill. Then another horizontal stick of wood spun and struck on top of the empty bucket, turning the fallen bucket back over the lever, and under this side of the stick, the lever slowly rotated again, driving the bucket again to the bottom of another waterfall, and so on.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Chen Ziyang instantly understood that this was the key to those rotating channels, this huge lever was like a timing device, every time the water in the bucket was filled, the end of the lever connected to the gear would rise into the air, intertwined with other gears, and become the middle link, so that the gears that had been rotated drove the gears that would not rotate, and those gears should be connected to the rotary channel.

Then, when the stick knocks the bucket down, the gear on the lever will come down and detach from the other gears due to gravity, and the gear connected to the rotating channel will also come to rest, so that the upper channel will no longer rotate.

It's no wonder that when passing through those spiral passages, you can hear a sound similar to a waterfall through a crack in the wall, and the strangest thing is that this sound is intermittent, sometimes there is and sometimes not, and I think it is this lever mechanism that uses water and gravity to make trouble.

Chen Ziyang wrote a big word in his heart, the ancients more than 1000 years ago were able to use gears to this extent, these gears are not so much an organ, but a kingdom of gears, the designer of this underground palace actually used gears to such a skillful level, it is really admirable.

In addition to sighing, Xiao Na ordered the two gun-wielding team members to grope their way along the stone bridge to see what the red mist in the middle was. The two of them walked up the stone bridge cautiously and found that the stone bridge was very strong, but the bottomless abyss on both sides of the stone bridge made the two of them a little nervous, and they walked cautiously.

Chen Ziyang also paid attention to the red mist that smelled of blood, he had seen this kind of red smoke before, it was in the alligator gar's waterhole, when these red mist floated against the water surface, and was sucked clean by the huge alligator gar, and the large cloud of red smoke in front of him was much more than in the alligator gar's waterhole, and the fog was also a lot thicker.

These red smoke seems to be very heavy, gathering but not dispersing, Chen Ziyang thought of the reflux incense from the red mist in front of him, the density of the smoke emitted when the regurgitated incense burns is greater than the air, these white incense mist will not float upward, but flow down like water, so it got the name of the regurgitated incense, which is often used in the indoor landscape, creating a fairyland-like feeling that is also interesting.

And the red mist in front of him is like an inverted incense, it does not dissipate, nor does it float upward, but it is moving slightly against the stone platform in the middle. Just as the two team members were about to step onto the stone platform in the center, suddenly, there was a sound of staggered activation of mechanisms in this stone room, and at the same time, Chen Ziyang saw that on the stone platform on the edge of the red mist, several secret doors slowly opened.

Seeing the changes in the stone platform in front of them, the two soldiers quickly stopped, half-squatted on the stone bridge and raised their guns, carefully watching the red mist.

It may be because of the suction force inside after the secret door is opened, or it may be because the density of this red mist is too great, in short, no matter what the reason is, when these secret doors are opened, the red mist in the center of the stone platform will quickly rush down these secret doors.

Looking at the direction in which the red mist dispersed, Chen Ziyang estimated that there should be a lot of these secret doors, at least seven or eight. As the red mist continued to decrease, the scene in the center of the stone platform and the part behind the stone platform that was previously obscured by the red fog gradually became clearer.

When the red mist on the stone platform dissipated, the secret doors slowly closed again, looking at the things exposed on the stone platform in the center of the entire space, Chen Ziyang's eyes widened, he finally knew why he felt that the smell of this red mist was so familiar before, it turned out to be because of the things on the stone platform.
