One hundred and fifty-three bronze bells of the secret room

The two of them heard the sound of the mouse barking and stopped, as if the mouse that had just rushed in suddenly died, and then there was no movement, and the two of them couldn't help but be shocked, and they both knew that there must be a dangerous place ahead. The two of them stood still, and after a while, the monk picked up Shi Jing again and continued to walk, but his steps were slow and light, trying not to make a sound.

There was a dead silence in the secret passage, but at this moment, Gou Shao was behind the monk, and he didn't seem to be able to hear him breathing, obviously the monk had suppressed the sound of breathing as much as possible. Dogs rarely learn to look like this, slowly lift their feet, please settle down, breathe quietly, and dare not make a movement.

After a short time, the two of them had already reached the end of the secret passage, and at the end of the passage, there was a two-zhang square, brick and stone secret room. It may be because of the age, the brick walls on both sides are damaged, and many tree roots and vines will come out of the brick cracks, raising most of the top of the two walls, and the masonry has collapsed to expose the soil layer behind.

I saw that there was a fluffy and shriveled thing on the floor of the secret room, but if you look closely, it is the mouse that has just rushed in, and the mouse has several large and small holes on its body, and its body is shriveled, as if it has been sucked up by something, leaving only an empty shell and dry skin.

Although the shriveled body of the rat is very small, but the appearance is shocking, people can't help but be frightened, neither of them know what attacked the mouse, but the secret room is empty, only directly opposite, the wall is full of square holes, each hole is made of masonry, and there is a copper bell hanging in it, which resembles a wind chime.

In addition, an iron plate is embedded in the central wall, and there is a relief carved with the seal of the right guard of the Ming Dynasty. Above the iron plate hung an iron chain at the height of a man, and a small bronze bell one foot long hung from it, and nothing else. I can't tell what kind of powerful mechanism killed this mouse.

The two of them were shocked in their hearts, and neither of them dared to be the first to enter the secret room. The monk wanted to find a stone and throw it in to test it like he had just done, but the surrounding masonry was very flat, not to mention the stones, and even the ash was not large. After waiting for a long time, there was no change in the secret room, but the monk kept staring at the small bronze bell hanging opposite.

At this time, the monk turned around, pointed to the small bronze bell to the dog, and then stretched out his finger to the pocket of the dog's clothes, the dog shook his head puzzled, since the monk did not dare to speak, the dog did not make a sound. The two don't understand sign language, and the comparison is like a chicken and a duck, and they don't understand each other's meaning.

When the monk saw that Gou Shao didn't understand, he took Gou Shao's hand and wrote on his hand with his fingers. He was afraid that he would write too quickly, and he didn't know what to write, so he wrote very slowly. The dog rarely saw that he first wrote the word "put", and then wrote the word "bell", and continued to write, but it was:

"Give me the bell, I'll hang it in the brass bell, ring the brass bell, and the door of the secret room behind the iron plate will naturally open."

The dog rarely saw him write like this, but he thought in his heart, this monk is very treacherous, he doesn't let me go to hang the bell, but wants to go by himself, leaving me here, it's hard to guarantee that there is any trick, so he also pulled the monk's hand and wrote:

"You wait for me here, I'll hang the bell!"

When the monk saw these words, he immediately shook his head, but the dog Shao pressed his hand to his coat pocket and made a gesture, "If you don't let me go, don't go to anyone!" ”

The monk frowned deeply, looked at the dog Shao, seemed to hesitate, the dog rarely saw him in such a situation, his expression was more resolute, the two wrote in each other's palms, fighting to hang the bell, the old man argued for a long time, but they were very careful not to make a sound.

In the end, the monk couldn't help but have a dog, so he could only nod his head and let him hang the bell.

Seeing that the monk did not dare to make the slightest sound, and when he saw the remains of the mouse, he guessed that the mouse was probably attacked by a hidden mechanism and sucked dry to death. So he pressed the bell in his pocket, and the bell had been wrapped in cloth by him, and he could not make a sound.

He gently raised his feet and walked to the small bronze bell, two feet away, the dog tiptoed to walk a cigarette, the brick floor was not very smooth, he lifted his feet several times, his body was crooked and almost fell, but fortunately he stood firm in time, so as not to make a sound.

When the dog walked under the bronze bell, his whole body was still sweating profusely, and it was obvious that the distance of less than two zhang was really exhausting. He looked up at the small bronze bell and saw that the bronze bell had a very thin wall, a narrow and long body, and a large wind chime. There are some bird and beast patterns engraved on the wall of his bell, and I don't know what it means, but there are two copper rings hanging in the bell, and the two rings are connected, the upper is connected to the bell, and the lower is connected to the copper hook, which is obviously the position of the hanging bell.

He stretched out his hand and gestured, feeling that he reached out to pad his feet, just enough to reach the copper hook, so he quietly took out the bell in his pocket, the bell was wrapped in cloth, but the small copper ball in the bell still made a slight sound when shaking, so he moved lightly and slowly, carefully, as if holding a glass jade in his hand, as if it would be broken with a little force.

Untie the cloth bag, and the dog should reach out and pinch the bell, which means that the bell is tightly fastened, try to prevent the ball from rolling and making a sound, and slowly lift the bell. The bell had a bulging half-ring that could be hung on a brass hook in a small brass bell.

At this time, the monk standing at the entrance of the secret passage watched coldly, and suddenly showed a treacherous smile, he did not move, secretly took a few steps back, and hid in the darkness. But he reached out and felt the black worm head nails in his clothes, and then slowly whispered, and the worm head nails were put together with each other. The irregular sawtooth on the worm head nail was able to insert into each other, and in a short time, several worm head nails were put together by the monk into the shape of a six-petal snowflake.

The monk held a six-petal worm head nail in his hand and waited for an opportunity to move in secret. Although his eyes looked ahead, he did not look at the dog, but at the small bronze bell on the head of the dog. It turned out that there was a small hole in the roof of the room where the bronze bell was hung, and there was a small hole in the front and back, left and right, and there was an iron pipe sticking out of the hole, pointing straight to the place where the dog was standing.

At this time, only the sound of "jingle bell" was heard, and then the small bronze bell jingled, and the initial sound was like a sea tide, and then it made a crisp and pleasant sound. It turned out that the dog major hung up the bell, and then gently pushed the small bronze bell, and the bell hanging in the bell was like a wind chime hitting the hammer in the forehead, and it made a jingling sound by itself, and then hit the bell wall, and the small copper bell made a jingling sound.

As the bronze bell rang, all the small bells in the recesses on the front wall rang at the same time, and the sound was like the waves of the sea, wave after wave, which was beautiful.

The monk suddenly showed a hideous face, a mouthful of white teeth, flashing white light in the darkness, his eyes were expectant, as if he was expecting something to happen.

Suddenly, there were a few salsa sounds in the chamber, followed by the sound of laughter. When the dog heard the strange sound, he was shocked like a frightened bird, and immediately took out the hidden hammer from his arms, and stared at him as if he was facing a great enemy.

At this time, the four small iron pipes on the top of the bronze bell suddenly spewed out a lot of cyan liquid, and they all happened to be poured on the head of the dog Shao. The dog was squirted by these sticky juices, and his heart was horrified, thinking that this was some kind of poisonous liquid, and hurriedly reached out to wipe it.

After a wipe, I felt that the liquid had a faint aroma of grass, but it didn't hurt when sprayed on the body.

At this time, in the center of the wall full of hollow copper bells, the iron plate with embossing was actually cracked from the middle, and then slowly divided to both sides. The iron plate is recessed into it like a shallow closet, and then look closely at the iron plate, which is driven by the two axles inside before opening on its own. The brass bell turned out to be the beginning of the iron plate.

On the exposed sunken wall behind the iron plate, there is a six-pointed groove, which is very peculiar in the shape of a snowflake, and there is a circular circle mark on the outer ring of the snowflake groove. Gou Shao looked at the snowflake groove and said "Huh", and then his attention was attracted, but he forgot that he was sprayed with unknown juice.

Not far behind him, there was a person who was even more surprised, it was the monk with a hideous face. The monk originally expected that Gou Shao would be shot by a hidden mechanism when he rang the bronze bell, but unexpectedly, Gou Shao was sprayed with cyan juice all over his body, but there was no discomfort at all.

The monk was puzzled and hurried forward, but there was a slight noise under his feet!

Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and a black shadow quickly slid across the floor of the secret room and crawled towards the monk's calf. The monk only felt that his legs were tight, his body was crooked, and he immediately lost his center of gravity, and he fell backwards, and his body fell to the ground.

The dog rarely saw something fly to his feet and make a loud noise, but the shape was similar to the hexagonal snowflake groove on the wall, so he picked up the worm head nail without thinking about it and embedded it in the hexagonal groove. I only heard a "snap" sound, and suddenly there was a sharp earthquake under my feet, and I almost lost my footing.

The wall facing the dog Shao suddenly deviated, and there was a crack in the square of the zhang, and the cracked wall became a copy, and the whole person with the dog Shao turned into the wall of the secret room.

Gou Shao's heart was surprised, his body was carried into the wall, he thought that the monk threw the six-pointed key to open the mechanism, and was about to turn around and beckon the monk to come quickly, but saw that the monk was wrapped up in a huge purple-black tentacle, and was struggling, the tentacle was shaped like a vine, as thick as a bucket full of spike barbs, and the spiked barbs were purple and red, and they had been deeply inserted into the monk's body.

The monk couldn't stop writhing and struggling at first, but after a while, he lost the ability to resist. Blood foam continued to gush from his mouth and nose, and he stared and opened his mouth as if he was calling for help to Gou Shao, but his eyes were full of resentment and extremely vicious.

Gou Shao was about to reach out to pull him, but the flap of the wall had already brought Gou Shao into the wall. The dog rarely knocked on the wall, but the wall did not move, and the flap no longer opened.

Dogs rarely can't open the flap, so they can only turn around and look for the mechanism. This is a narrow room, the area is not large, and the wall is embedded with large pieces of fluorite, emitting a faint light, illuminating the room. Gou Shaoxin knew that this was the place where the collector Qiao Xian Mirror was located, but even if he got the mirror core, he didn't know how to find Abacus City, although the monk seemed to have bad intentions, but he still decided to save the monk first.

He looked for the wall opening mechanism in the room, and saw that there was a lotus stone platform in the center of the room, which should be the place where the mirror core was placed, but at this moment the stone platform was empty, and there was nothing......
