176 Ahead of the curve

When Zhaoyuan heard him say this, he asked, "Is what your second uncle said still true?"

"Of course it's true, let's go in tomorrow and have a look, won't we know? Moreover, this cave can't be dug in a day or two, maybe how many sects have secretly visited. Zhaowen shrugged his shoulders, got up, lifted the curtain and entered the tent.

Their tents were outward.

Li Zhao and the three of them in the treetops listened to the whole process.

By the time the moon was in the middle of the sky, the Zen disciples had already rested. As soon as they extinguished the torches, silence fell all around, save for the faint chirping of cicadas and the occasional blowing of the wind.

In the sound of cicadas, the momentary sound of cloth rubbing is not so noticeable.

Three shadows flashed on the side of the tent, Li Zhao was the first to sweep into the cave, Qin Gang followed, and Gu Yizhu was responsible for watching the wind at the entrance of the cave.

In the cave, there are several torches stuck in the stone walls on both sides, crackling and burning, the fire has been burning for a day, and it is not so bright anymore.

The entire cave was carved out to be very spacious.

Indeed, as the text said, this view cannot be dug up in a day or two, so his statement is also valid. That is, before Zen Buddhism, there were already quite a few sects that had come secretly.

But apparently they were all disappointed.

"Go inside. Li Zhao took out a fire fold from his baggage and blew it, holding it up and saying.

I don't know how deep this cave has been dug, and if you go into it rashly, it may cause difficulty breathing. Therefore, in order to be safe, Li Zhao whispered to Qin Gang not to go forward if he saw the flames flickering.

Qin Jiang snorted, and the fingers of his left hand pinched the cuff of his right hand, and a short knife slipped into the palm of his hand. He held the short knife in one hand and Yue'er in the other, and said while looking at his feet: "Be careful." ”

The further you go into the cave, the fainter the light from the fire on both sides.

After the two of them walked for about seven or eight hundred meters, they saw a huge bronze door, on which were embossed with nine beasts of different shapes, lifelike.

The sides of the gate have been hollowed out, and the two tunnels, very deep and pitch black, have no end in sight.

"Is this the mechanism they are talking about?" Li Zhao just wanted to take a step forward, but his arm was quickly grabbed by Qin Geng.

He pointed to the ground in front of him and said, "I'm afraid that's the one." ”

Li Zhao followed his hand and looked at the ground, and saw that there were three round silver inlays not far from the bottom of the gate, and the material could not be seen, it seemed to be made of silver.

"Those Zen disciples are yelling with their internal strength, just afraid that it has something to do with the organ. Qin Geng said, and Li Zhao cautiously approached the silver ground inlay.

Although the Zen disciples seem to be safe and sound, Qin Gang still likes to hang an extra eye on everything.

Li Zhao didn't have so many scruples, she stepped on the ground, squatted down, looked at it carefully in the light of the fire fold, and said, "This thing, the production process looks very good." ”

"Li Chengyi's things are naturally the best. Qin Gang said as he turned to look at the bronze gate.

At this time, the torches hanging high on both sides had only a faint firelight, which was not enough to illuminate the entire bronze door. Qin Gang lowered his eyes and glanced at Li Zhao, and reflexively took a fire fold out to blow it up. He held aloft the fire fold and lit it back and forth on the gate several times.

Li Zhao, who was squatting, not only looked at it, but also looked at her and got started.

Qin Gang, who had already walked away behind him, glanced over and hissed, but he didn't have time to stop it.

Li Zhao touched it, and pressed it at the same time, but he didn't press it, and said with some regret: "It doesn't seem to be triggered, it feels very smooth and delicate to the touch, if this thing was left by Li Chengyi...... In the past 20 years, it can still be as bright as new...... It must be ......"

"What must be it?" Qin Gang asked.

"Either someone comes over on a regular basis to maintain it, or the craftsmanship of this thing is far beyond the current level of craftsmanship. Li Zhao withdrew his hand, straightened up and said to Qin Geng.

If someone comes over on a regular basis to maintain it, then this place is dug up like this, and it will obviously be discovered. In other words, it is very likely that the craftsmanship level of this thing is very forward.

No, frankly.

Even with modern craftsmanship, it is simply impossible for silver to not turn black in a cave for so many decades.

Of course, it's also possible that this thing isn't silver at all.

"It seems that the latter is more likely. Qin Geng's thoughts coincided with Li Zhao.

Li Zhao smiled when he heard this, shrugged his shoulders, and walked to Qin Geng's side with a fire fold. She straightened her hand, held it high and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "If the disc on the ground is still to be studied, then this thing definitely shouldn't exist in this era." ”

The bronze gate is divided into two doorways, with a circular doorknob on one side, about an inch above Li Zhao's head. In front of Li Zhao's face, there are two semicircular gray-black protrusions, which, when combined, form a round plate.

The outer ring of the gray-black disc is a large silver circle, the disc is convex forward, and there is a black edging around the edge, which is shiny, and it should be some kind of metal.

Li Zhao said as he raised his hand and buckled his fingers on the gray-black disc.

Knock knock.

Two hollow bangs were heard.

If Li Zhao guessed correctly, this thing should be a display screen?!

With this shock and disbelief, she turned her hand and stroked the disc, and the touch was very smooth.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Qin Geng asked out loud when he saw that her expression was different.

"Maybe. Li Zhao narrowed his eyes and changed the topic vaguely, "Why do those Zen disciples talk loudly in the cave with their internal strength?

"Maybe. Qin Gang glanced at her, and did not delve into it, but followed her words down the stairs. He took two steps with the fire fold, pointed to the three ground inlays, turned his head and asked, "Do you want me to step on it and try it?"

There was no hesitation in his voice, it seemed that as long as Li Zhao nodded, he would step on it without hesitation.

Li Zhao leaned his back against the bronze door, nodded his head, and said to him: "Try it, I think even if there is any mechanism here, it will not be life-threatening, otherwise those Zen disciples will not just go in and out like this, and they will still be noisy inside." ”

Qin Gang snorted, turned his head and stepped directly on the silver ground very simply.

However, the man stood up, and nothing happened.

"Do you have to stand with three people, or do you have to stand up and talk?" Li Zhao narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

There was no wind in the cave, and Li Zhao held the fire fold high again, so that it would not be affected by his own words.

Therefore, the fire fold should not shake.

And yet—

Li Zhao watched as the shadow he cast on the ground moved slightly, and the fire above his head that should have been calm and unchanging shook slightly.
