Chapter 45: Zhuge Kongming's Tomb (II)
Looking at the yellow powder that was still leaking out on the door, Lin Guyuan gritted his teeth with hatred, and then suddenly laughed, "Chatter, you old puppet wants to provoke me with words, and then let me fall for your tricks, hehe, old man, I'm not so easy to be fooled, God won't help you, chatter!"
After hearing my words, the three people suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. And Jia Da immediately ran out, for fear that the torch he had just thrown out had not been extinguished, and carefully checked it again. Bingsan looked at the yellow saltpeter powder on the ground gathering more and more, and asked very uneasily: "Big brother, what should we do next?"
Lin Guyuan walked around the house a few times, and found that there was no other entrance to the inside, so he turned to look at me and asked, "Young man, what do you think you should do?"
I thought to myself, don't say I don't know, even if I know how to get in, I won't tell you, so I shook my head, "I can't help it, let's go back, the crack in this door is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid it's too late to leave in a while!"
"Yes, big brother, let's go out first and think of a way!" As soon as he heard that there was danger, Bingsan also said.
"I don't believe that the yellow sand behind this door can fill all the houses outside, you go outside first, I'll break this door and see what it can do, and when these things flow out, won't you be able to pass from above!" After speaking, Lin Guyuan drew his short sword again.
"No, after breaking this door, the gas gushing out of it is deadly poisonous gas, even if you and I don't need to breathe, but these three people will definitely not be able to hold on!" I stepped forward to stop me.
"You dodge, you can't care so much now, let's do it first!" After speaking, he raised his sword and slashed towards the stone gate. I hurried in front of the stone gate.
"Get out, if you don't want to die, let me go outside, I don't have that much patience!" I stopped it three times and twice, and finally angered Lin Guyuan.
"Wait, I've figured it out!" I watched as he snapped into his mind. As soon as he heard the words, Lin Guyuan slowly put down the short sword, after all, he didn't want to come hard until he had to.
"What do you think?"
"That poem on the wall just now," I thought about it for a while, and suddenly my eyes lit up, "yes, that's right, the poem on the wall just now has already told us what to do!"
"What does the poem say?" Lin Guyuan was angry and demolished the wall after only reading two sentences, so he didn't remember what was written on it.
"I remember the last four sentences are: But if you don't look back, the destiny of heaven will be collected by future generations. You can go by sitting here for three moments, and you will never end falling into the six realms. ”
I said, "It means that if you continue to be obsessed, someone will come to deal with you!" Before he finished speaking, Lin Guyuan said angrily: "Just say how to go, don't talk so much nonsense!"
I laughed in my heart, and then continued: "Then the next sentence, "You can go by sitting here for three moments, and you will never stop falling into the six realms!"
It means that we should sit on these two chairs and wait for three quarters of an hour, and then we can naturally go in, but then you will sink into the six realms forever!"
"Hehe, sink and sink, what can you do with me?" Okay, then let's sit and wait for him for three quarters of an hour, come, you sit over there!" After speaking, he swaggered to the chair on the left, and pointed to the chair on the right.
"Crunch!" As soon as Lin Guyuan sat on the stone chair, he felt his whole body sinking, but he was already prepared in his heart, so he hurriedly jumped up, and when he looked back, he saw that the four legs of the stone chair had sunk into the ground by more than an inch, and at this time, there was a click from behind the stone door, followed by the sound of rattling quicksand.
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the movement inside, I thought about it, suddenly my eyes lit up, and I hurriedly sat down on the stone chair on the right, which also sank more than an inch, and the sound of quicksand in the stone door was louder.
"Young people's brains are so good!" Lin Guyuan listened to the movement inside, admired my intelligence very much, and sat back on the chair on the left, "Hehe, according to your meaning, the things inside should be excreted within three quarters of an hour, then let's take a rest!"
"Well, that's what the poem says!" I sat there, thinking secretly about what to do next.
It's July weather, but it's very cold in the belly of the mountain, and from time to time water droplets fall from the rocks overhead.
The three of them sat around the ground, chatting and eating something to replenish their bodies, while Lin Guyuan sat on the stone chair as if he was in a steady state, without saying a word.
I took advantage of this time to think about what happened on this day from beginning to end, blaming myself for being too conceited and impulsive, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into this situation, what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Guyuan's gourd, I still don't know, alas, I can only follow him like this for the time being, as soon as there is an opportunity, I will escape immediately, and then call the master, and then find a way to deal with him.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The ancients divided the day into 100 quarters, and the time of 3 quarters was about 40 minutes, I looked at my watch, it was almost over, so I got up and came to the stone gate, the gap above had already stopped leaking sand, and I listened to the sound of quicksand in it.
"Now you can go in. With that, Lin Guyuan drew out his short sword and slowly walked towards the stone gate.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound from above the stone gate, and then the stone door began to rise automatically, and a long, narrow and tall passage appeared in front of everyone.
"Ahem!" The three of them immediately choked on the smell of yellow nitrate powder and hurriedly ran out, and as soon as they left this dark room, they heard the sound of the mountain shaking.
"Boom!" A wave of air pushed them in again, and the original forty-nine steps of the outside killing array were activated at the same time as the stone door opened, and forty-nine boulders fell from above to fill the dark room outside, looking at the boulders in the dust outside, everyone knew very well in their hearts that they had no way out.
Lin Guyuan and I both have fetal rest, and there is almost no need to breathe through our noses, while the other three people are coughing violently in the saltpeter dust and the dust rushing in from outside, I look at them, it is estimated that they will die after staying for a while, what should I do?
Suddenly, a drop of water fell from the mountain rock above, and it was falling on my cheek, and when I looked up, it turned out that this dark room was rebuilt from a natural cave, and there were many stalactites hanging upside down on it, especially the one on the table was the longest.
I suddenly understood why there was a shadow of water in the wine jug on the table of the Eight Immortals, and it turned out that the liquid inside was the stalactite that had fallen from the stalactite above.
I hurriedly picked up the flask on the table and poured the stalactite on the sleeves of each of the three men, so that they could cover their mouths and noses.
It turns out that the stalactite can not only filter the dust in the air, but also neutralize the toxicity of saltpeter powder.
Saltpeter powder is an essential ingredient for making zuò fireworks, so I know his properties very well and have heard from my father when I was very young.
Putting some stalactite in the gunpowder can neutralize the force of the saltpeter powder, so that the fireworks can be both beautiful and not very powerful, and this theory is now used in this critical moment.
"Chatter!" Seeing such a chaotic scene, Lin Guyuan became excited, laughing wildly and being the first to walk into the stone door that had just opened.
It is a long and narrow stone chamber, almost ten meters high, and judging from the volume, if it is full of yellow saltpeter powder, the outer dark chamber can be filled twice.
Fortunately, this stone gate was not forcibly destroyed, otherwise even if it was not buried by these stone powders, it would have died in the chaos of stones outside.
At the same time, I also found that the ground under my feet was not flat, the middle was high and the sides were low, and at the foot of the wall on both sides, there was a dark ditch on each side, and it was estimated that these quicksand were drained into the ground through these ditches. Seeing this, I have to admire Zhuge Liang's ingenious design.
In front of the dark room was a narrow passage, and everyone walked along the passage, the narrower it became, and finally everyone could only line up one by one, about two hundred meters away.
A circular space suddenly appeared in front of him, the area was not large, and the five people standing in it looked very crowded, the four walls were smooth as mirrors, and they were extremely bright under the illumination of the miner's lamp, and there was a stone gate in front of them blocking the way.
Lin Guyuan glanced at me with a sneer, I shook my head helplessly, and walked towards the stone gate, but before I could get closer, the stone slab under my feet suddenly split left and right, and I fell into the trap below.
In this circular space, no one thought that the seemingly hard ground suddenly appeared a pit, and all my attention was focused on the stone gate in front of me, without any mental preparation, and before I had time to make any reaction, I had already fallen into the trap on the ground.
"Ahh
As my body fell, I felt that the pit was not vertical, but had a certain slope, like a slide, and I was sliding rapidly down the smooth wall.
So he hurriedly searched for gaps in the walls with his hands, hoping to catch something, but the walls were so smooth that there was not even a single rough rock, but even so, the rate of descent slowed down.
"Smack!", the torch fell off from his hand in the bump, and slid down quickly, I had no time to care about it, desperately rubbing my hand and body against the wall below, reducing the speed of the slide as much as possible.
The slide is very long, and although the slope is a little slow, I still slide very fast.
Suddenly, I saw that the torch that had just fallen was stopping not far in front of me, and when I looked at it, I suddenly lost my soul, and under the reflection of the torch, a pair of snowy short knives, the tip of the knife was facing me, neatly arranged in front of me.
Seeing me fall into the pit, Lin Guyuan was too late to react, so he could only watch him fall, and then walked closer, and said to the pit: "Alas, I thought you could help a little, young man, count yourself unlucky, why do you want to follow me? Now that I am buried here, I can't complain about me, hehe, the mechanism was designed by Zhuge Lao Thief, go to him to settle accounts." ”
