Chapter 146: Hugging the Figurines
The mechanism we encountered in front of the ancient temple was very similar to this one, and I even suspected that the two mechanisms were made by the same person, but the place in front of the ancient temple was large, and it was during the day, so we used a large stone slab to trigger the mechanism in advance, so we could avoid it from a distance. But in the passage wide between the two of them, the space is crooked, the space is narrow, and the surroundings are pitch black, and once the mechanism is triggered, we really can't dodge.
And Ye Guangci was injured again, thinking of this, I suddenly became restless.
"I've been in for so long, I've been going down, not only is this section of the passage not going down, the slope is still going up, or if you don't get a big stone to roll down, maybe you can trigger the mechanism," I said helplessly to Ye Lingwen.
"Qingyang, don't worry, let's slowly figure out a way, just enough to let Dad rest for a while."
I simply lay down on the ground and slowly figured out what to do.
"The one who built this secret passage is also a master, and he specially used this upward slope to make this mechanism" In the dark, time passed by a minute, and the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't think of a way.
Suddenly, I heard Ye Lingwen say: "This mechanism was activated only when you stepped on the stone steps, if you don't step on the stone steps, you can't do it."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Don't step on it. "Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly understood what she meant." You mean walking past where the figurines stand on the stone walls on either side? You can step on the place where the figurines stand, but there is no place to step on the stone wall between the two figurines."
"This stone wall is chiseled with potholes, it shouldn't be difficult to find a place to step on, if we really don't have it, we can only use a dagger, slowly chisel"
I was speechless for a moment, and it seemed that this was the only way to do it. If this is the case, we must try to move forward as closely as possible against the figurines on the stone wall, face to face, or even face to face, otherwise we may fall down, thinking of the charred corpses in the terracotta figurines...
"Well, that's the only way" Seeing Ye Lingwen, I was not afraid, and I no longer hesitated!
Ye Guangci's wound is not shallow, for the time being, he must not be able to exercise vigorously, otherwise the wound will crack and bleed, I discussed with Ye Lingwen and Ye Lingwen that I can only stay in this passage for a while longer, originally people like us recover faster than ordinary people, I hope his wound can heal as soon as possible, I am thinking about it,
Ye Guangci, who was suddenly asleep on the side, shouted:
"Gotta find him! Definitely going back!。。。 Spirit Pattern! Don't leave me! Don't leave."
I heard it like falling into the clouds, could it be that Ye Guangci also likes to dream of spring as much as I do? Then he should have dreamed of his daughter! I was trying to go over and see what was going on with him.
Lingwen hurriedly stopped me and said: He must be too weak to have nightmares, don't wake him up, let him sleep a little longer."
I think about it, it's strange that I haven't had nightmares a few times in the past two days!
In this way, we waited quietly in the dark passage for Ye Guangci's wound to heal, and it took about 3.4 hours before I went over to wake up Ye Guangci, and during this time, Ye Lingwen and I also took turns sleeping. , Ye Guangci looked much better after resting, so I told him about the method of the spirit pattern, but he couldn't think of a better way, and felt that it was the only way.
Now that Ye Guangci is injured, it seems that I must take the lead
I was about to pick up Ye Guangci's backpack when he stopped me.
"You open the road ahead, you have to travel light, I'll do this backpack! I had a skin wound on my leg, nothing was a big deal."
"Or I'll carry it," Ye Lingwen said.
"If you carry two bags, the center will move outward, and it is easy to fall, so I'll carry it."
I thought it made sense, so I put on my headlamp and cautiously came to the figurine, the figurine on the left had been broken, and the carbonized dried corpse inside was still standing motionless, I felt that he seemed to be watching me all the time, and my back suddenly felt cold.
I stepped on the stone bar where the figurine stood on the right, fortunately, the stone bar was not high, half a meter from the ground, and I hugged the figurine tightly, for fear that the center of gravity would be too far away and I would not be able to stand firmly on the ground, which would inevitably touch the mechanism.
I could only lean in as far as I could, and the figurine was right in front of me, almost face to face, and I felt like I was holding a girl to kiss her, except that I was holding not a girl but a charred corpse.
My headlamp illuminates the face of the figurine very clearly, his eyes are wide open, but he does not burn the eyeballs, I am extremely frightened in my heart, for fear that he will suddenly open his mouth and blow at me, I don't dare to look more, close my eyes and stretch out my left leg to grope for the place where I can step on the stone wall, fortunately, the stone wall is chiseled into potholes, easy to focus, so I stepped on a shallow groove in the stone wall between the two figurines, and quickly moved to the stone bar where the second figurine stood, Then he held the second figurine and stretched out his right foot to find the next place to step on it.
I relaxed a little, and felt that it was not as difficult as I imagined, so I shouted to the Ye Lingwen behind them to let them come over, who knew that as soon as I shouted, Dantian forced, and the hands holding the figurines tightened, and I heard the figurines scream, and the upper body was all crushed by me, and the pottery pieces fell to the ground, and the black corpse in the terracotta figurines was also broken from the waist and fell into my arms.
"Be careful" Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci shouted in the back.
What's worse is that the figurines were crushed, my hands lost their focus, the whole person fell outward, and I was about to fall to the ground, in a hurry, I hooked the legs of the figurines that were still fixed on the stone bars with my calves, and then grabbed the halberd that fell to the side, turned my head violently and used the halberd against the opposite stone wall, and then my arms were pushed harder, and then I stood up straight, regained my balance, and the lower body of the figurines was also broken by my legs.
I stood on the stone bar, panting and shushing, only to notice that the half-carbonized dried corpse was still lying in my arms, my hair stood on end, goosebumps rose all over my body, I felt as if he was about to open his eyes in the next second, I pushed him out like a cramp, my heart was beating wildly.
"Qingyang! Qingyang! You okay? Ye Lingwen shouted anxiously in the back, and the bright light of the flashlight made me dizzy.
I came back to my senses and shouted to them, "It's all right! This terracotta figurine is not strong, you have to be careful, in case it doesn't work, push the terracotta figurines down."
"Try not to destroy these terracotta figurines, this is also the grave of the deceased, and if so many terracotta figurines are all knocked down, in case any mechanism is activated, we stick it on the wall, and there is no place to escape!" Ye Guangci said to me.
What Ye Guangci said also made sense, fortunately, I was in no danger this time, and I accidentally found that it was much easier to use this halberd against the opposite wall to move forward, so I asked Ye Guangci and Ye Lingwen to take off a halberd and move slowly forward against the stone wall according to my method.
There are such figurines on both sides of the passage, I can't see the end at a glance, the three of us just stand on the stone bar where the figurines stand and stick to the stone wall, with the help of the halberd slowly move forward, I try not to look at those figurines, when holding those figurines, I can't help but force, and I don't dare to use too much force, the most frightening thing is that I am always worried that this figurine will suddenly move in the next moment. This feeling of trepidation almost broke me. Fortunately, after walking for less than half an hour, there were no figurines on either side of the passage, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ye Guangci and Ye Lingwen followed behind, and nothing happened to them, and they came over smoothly.
