Chapter 117: Cracking the Mechanism
The groove of a cross is very neat.
This allows the surrounding ground to be split into a zigzag.
Tian zigzag!
Jiang Bai immediately thought of the ubiquitous signs on the lawn and villa before.
Could this be the key to solving this puzzle?
Jiang Bai squatted down and began to touch the ground.
Maybe there's something mysterious in this little square in the upper left corner.
"Tian zigzag?"
Yan Xiyue said that the flashlight also looked at the ground, "Are these the same as those in the villa before?" ”
He walked towards Jiang Bai as he spoke, intending to squat down to find the mystery.
"Don't move yet, in case there's danger."
Jiang Bai just wanted to say, Yan Xiyue's second foot had already stepped in.
He believes that the environment in which these stones are made is likely to be some kind of ancient mechanism.
Casual touching can be dangerous.
Jiang Bai had always been in front before, so he was extra careful.
It turns out that it takes the weight of two people to be able to drive.
The square in the upper left corner of the piece where Jiang Bai was located began to sink, and the stone gate on the left began to move upward.
After some shaking around him, he saw a small square peeking out in the middle of the grid he was in.
Like what is the box.
The stone door on the left contains a chest that requires a key to open.
This box is very quaint, but with modern locks,
"Treasure chest."
Yan Xiyue flashlight said, "Maybe there is a way to crack another stone gate." ”
"It can be dangerous to act rashly."
Jiang Bai said while thinking, "Let's not move yet. ”
His instincts told him that it would take two people to weigh down the slabs, and that if one person left, the stone door on the left would probably return to its original state.
If Yan Xiyue passed over rashly, it was very likely that she would be locked inside.
On the other side, the tremor had reached the basement.
"Earthquake?"
He Dazhuang felt a strong vibration.
"I don't see it."
Du Yiheng said, "The earthquake will not be just a single one. ”
"So that's Jiang Bai's action in the secret room!?"
Liu Zifeng said intuitively: "He should be somewhere underground." ”
As they spoke, they stood in front of the wall on the right.
"Jiang Bai disappeared around here, and we'll take a look around the neighborhood too."
He continued, first looking for clues in these neighborhoods.
Knock on the wall and see if there's any mechanism around you.
In this darkness, only the place where the flashlight shines can be recognized.
When Liu Zifeng was still knocking on the wall to look for the mechanism, He Dazhuang didn't know what had moved, and the wall suddenly rotated, and even the nearby ground also rotated!
At the same time, there was a faint grinding sound.
"That's the voice!"
Du Yiheng said as he fell due to the strong rotation of the ground.
The three of them also came to the other side of the wall.
"That's how they should have been."
Liu Zifeng said.
"He Dazhuang, do you remember the friction sound you heard when you saw the rust on the knife?"
Du Yiheng said.
"So that's the voice? Does that mean they were already here at that time? ”
He Dazhuang said and looked at the black hole in front of him.
The flashlight doesn't end there.
"Look, footprints."
Liu Zifeng looked at the ground and saw the newly left footprints.
There's not a lot of dust here, but it's more than enough to leave footprints.
There are two kinds of footprints, one large and one small.
"It should be Jiang Bai and Yan Xiyue."
Liu Zifeng said, "Let's go, let's follow." ”
With clues, they continued to follow Jiang Bai's footsteps.
At the end, Jiang Bai asked Yan Xiyue to temporarily go to another grid first.
Sure enough, with Yan Xiyue leaving, the stone slab on the ground returned to its original state, and the stone gate on the left also fell.
"If you act rashly just now, you may not be able to get out."
Jiang Bai said happily, "Let's take a look at what the little box was just now." ”
As the slate pressed down again, the stone door opened.
The little box-like bulge reappeared.
This time, Jiang Bai carefully observed with a flashlight.
It's not a small box, but something like a button.
It is also a Tian character structure.
The speed of pressing down is slow, perhaps to prevent accidental touches.
According to the previous logo, Jiang Bai naturally chose the piece in the upper left corner and pressed it.
"Ding"
Only a crisp sound was heard, and something seemed to have fallen somewhere.
The sound came from the left, and Jiang Bai followed the sound, and the flashlight went to the left.
In the room just now, there was a reflection and it looked like a key.
"A key."
Yan Xiyue said that as soon as she wanted to leave, she thought of what Jiang Bai had just said.
When she stopped, Jiang Bai took her hand.
"I almost forgot, it could be dangerous."
Yan Xiyue said that she first tried to stand in another grid and observe the changes in the stone gate.
"You have to be careful every step here."
Jiang Bai said, getting up to observe the changes around him, "I don't feel like it's made in modern times. ”
In the dark solitude space, Yan Xiyue was held by Jiang Bai's hand, her little face turned red, and her heart beat faster.
However, it was precisely because of the dark environment that Jiang Bai did not find out.
"Understood."
Yan Xiyue nodded. has been with Jiang Bai for a long time, and she has slowly learned to deal with it calmly.
"I'll give it a try."
Jiang Bai said, pushing open this lattice step by step, and see how the stone gate would change if no one was on it.
It seems that after pressing the button, the stone slab on the ground jammed as if the handbrake had been pulled.
The stone gate did not move at all.
"Let's go, let's see."
After confirming that it was safe, Jiang Bai cautiously walked to the room on the left side of the front.
"Stay safe."
Yan Xiyue said with some concern, one hand holding Jiang Bai tightly.
Once there is danger, she will do her best to pull Jiang Bai out!
Walking into the room, the stone slab behind it still didn't bounce.
Jiang Bai was relieved and looked forward for the key that he had dropped before.
There was a chest and a lock in front, and now there is a key, and intuition will connect the two sides.
He walked, still thinking.
In this way, the exquisite mechanism is not impossible for modern people to reproduce, but it is very difficult, especially made of stone.
He had reason to believe that this must have been done by the ancients, but it was only used by Aunt Stella.
The key opens the treasure chest, and inside is a small stone slab.
The four Tian characters form a larger Tian character.
There is a red line in the middle, and the two characters in the upper part of the field are blacked out in the upper left corner like the logo.
However, from the perspective of construction, it is more like some embedded key.
Relying on the camera function of the flashlight and mobile phone, Jiang Bai first took these pictures into the mobile phone.
Then he put the slate away.
Exiting the room on the left, there are two stone walls on the front and right in front of you.
Jiang Bai shone his flashlight back at the stone walls on the other two sides.
I thought that after the change, new clues might arise.
At this moment, Jiang Bai heard footsteps.
He immediately turned off the flashlight, and at the same time asked Yan Xiyue to turn off the flashlight.
They can't be sure if the person who comes is good or bad, they have to turn off the flashlight and hide for the time being, and observe the situation.
"Someone!"
Yan Xiyue said that, she was covered by Jiang Bai's mouth.
"It's possible that the person who comes is not good, be careful."
Jiang Bai whispered in Yan Xiyue's ear.
Yan Xiyue leaned on Jiang Bai at this time, her little face flushed.
I always feel like I want to lean on Jiang Bai all the time, but I feel that this is not very appropriate.
I don't know why I feel so complicated in Jiang Bai's arms.
