06 Choose a fat sheep
After listening to Shang Bu's explanation, Xie Yixiang still seemed to understand something, thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "According to what you say, the design of this entire stone ladder walkway can actually realize the back and forth lifting and splicing as long as there are two stone ladder walkways of 'bamboo tube one' and 'bamboo tube two'. In other words, it is very likely that we will only alternate between two stone staircase walkways, and there will be no end. ”
Shang Buqi groaned: "It's not that this is not impossible...... However, it seems that although the mechanism here is exquisitely designed, there are no hidden arrows or traps that hurt people, which is in line with the purpose of the Mohists to 'love and not attack'. If I expected it to be true, the current design of the stone staircase walkway is the same, but it is just a bluffing tactic, trying to test people's hearts. Just like the stone staircase walkway we just stepped on, it didn't take long for the stone staircase walkway below to move away brightly, which shows that the designer is not worried about people seeing through the mystery at all. I believe that as long as we keep climbing, there will be one last 'bamboo tube' for us to get out of here, but if we are scared to turn back, we may end up in trouble. ”
Xie Yixiang didn't know anything about the art of agency information, and seeing that Shang Bu had this confidence, he had no choice but to trust him. Looking at Ning Cui next to him, since he was sealed and tied up by Shang Bu, he didn't pay attention to the two of them, and at this time, he closed his eyes and didn't participate in the conversation between the two at all. At that moment, Shang Buqi pulled the rope that bound Ning Cui, and sneered: "Girl, it's time to go on the road!"
Then the three of them continued to climb on the stone stairs, and after half an hour, they saw gaps in the corners of the three walls of a platform, and apparently reached the splicing place of the two stone staircase walkways. Shang Buqi pointed to the stone wall next to the stone staircase and said, "When I subdued Ning Cui just now, I used an iron ruler to leave a scratch on this position on the wall, but there was no stone wall here, so it can be seen that we are not walking in circles. ”
Xie Yixiang didn't say much, so he walked and rested, and the three of them walked in the stone staircase walkway for three or four hours, and then turned a platform, and the stone staircase in front of them finally came to an end, and a flat stone walkway appeared. Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi were overjoyed, it seemed that Shang Buqi's guess was really wrong, like this, the road went to the dark, and in the end he still climbed the entire stone staircase.
At the moment, Shang Bu did not abandon and walked in front, pulling Ning Cui behind him into the aisle. Xie Yixiang walked at the end, only to see that this walkway was the same as the previous underground walkway, horizontal and vertical, square, the four walls were paved with bricks and stones, without any decoration and patterns. The three of them turned at two right angles, and in front of them they reached the end of the walkway, but there was a tight stone wall, on which were two life-size relief figures, in the form of peasants in the countryside, each holding a huge hammer in his hand, and from a distance, it looked like the gods of the left and right doors stationed on the stone wall. Looking at the ground in front of the stone wall at the end, there is a pool of water as wide as the walkway, and the whole is a square, and I don't know how deep it is.
Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi glanced at each other, knowing that the two reliefs on the stone wall at the end must be strange, so they immediately held their blades in their hands and cautiously stepped forward along the aisle. Who knew that just a few steps, the two of them couldn't help but stop at the same time, but on both sides of the walkway about five zhang long in front of them, the stone walls were full of dense small holes, each of which was about the size of a sea bowl, and I don't know what it was used for, but it was conceivable that it must be some kind of harmful mechanism. Shang Buqi groaned slightly, then pulled Ning Cui behind him up, and told her to take this strange aisle first, but Ning Cui was actually treated as a fat sheep sent to death, to test what kind of mechanism was ahead.
Ning Cui has not spoken to the two of them since she was subdued by Shang Buqi, and at this moment, Shang Buqi asked her to go to the front interview, but she did not move, and obviously refused to go to death. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but say: "Shang Zhutou, Ning Cui's acupoint has been sealed by you, and you can't call the internal breath at all. If there was something really harmful in the aisle ahead, how could she deal with it? Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Shang Buqi had already reached out and pushed Ning Cui on the shoulder, pushing her straight into the aisle in front of her.
Xie Yixiang was shocked and was about to save people, but Ning Cui stepped on this section of the walkway, but the small holes in the stone walls on both sides were silent. Ning Cui also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and glared at Shang Bu Abandon angrily, and said fiercely: "Although I kill people like hemp, the people who die in my hands are all people who deserve to die! Shang Bu Dou, in the past few years, I have spared your life three or four times, just because although you are vicious by nature, you are not a real evil person in order to solve the case and arrest the murderer; and judging by your behavior, you are somewhat similar to me. It is precisely because of this little sympathy that you have been chasing and stalking me, and I have not bothered with you. But if you treat me like this today, I would rather not kill you to take revenge, and I will not be a human being for the rest of my life!"
Shang Buqi couldn't help laughing, and then "bah", and said: "A murderer who is not as good as a pig and a dog is also worthy of being compared to my 'No. 1 Divine Catcher in the world throughout the ages'? The brick on the stone wall in front of you is exactly the same as the one we saw before, it must be the hub that controls the stone walls on both sides, and you go and press down the brick. ”
Ning Cui was silent for a while, and finally raised his feet to move forward, so that the rope in Shang Buqi's hand was not long enough, and seeing that there was a dead end ahead, he let go of the rope and let Ning Cui move forward on his own. Who knew that Ning Cui took a few more steps, and suddenly heard a sound of gold and iron on both sides, and on the two walls of this section of the walkway, which was five zhang long, there were countless sharp iron spears piercing out of the small holes in the stone wall at the same time, densely packed with each other, as if two nail boards suddenly closed, and Ning Cui was about to stab Ning Cui into a hornet's nest.
To say that iron guns poking out of the stone walls on both sides to hurt people are a very ordinary mechanism, and the design here is even more obvious, clearly warning people that this section of the corridor is strange. But when Ning Cui first stepped into this corridor, the mechanism was not activated, and when she walked out of the distance of nearly two zhang and was about to approach the middle of the entire corridor, the iron spear in the small hole in the stone wall suddenly stabbed out, where did she have time to retreat? Not to mention that Ning Cui's hands were tied at the moment, and several big holes were also sealed by Shang Buqi, so she couldn't lift her qi to perform light skills at all, and she could only sit and wait for death in the face of the dense iron spears on the two walls.
Fortunately, Xie Yixiang had already prepared, and every time Ning Cui took a step forward, she carefully observed the movements of the stone walls on both sides. As soon as she heard a sound from the stone wall, she had already jumped into this walkway, grabbed the rope that Ning Cui was dragging on the ground, and struggled to pull her back, and jumped back with her, which saved Ning Cui's life. The iron spears pierced from the two walls returned in vain, and retracted into the small hole, and the entire corridor returned to its previous tranquility.
Ning Cui escaped death, and before he could breathe, he whispered to Xie Yixiang, "Thank you." Xie Yixiang just nodded slightly and did not answer. Shang Buqi saw the mechanism here clearly, and couldn't help frowning and said: "The people of the Mo family are also weird, they actually designed this ordinary iron gun mechanism to be above board, naturally they don't want to hurt people's lives. But once you break in, the means are so ruthless. As he spoke, he said to Xie Yixiang: "It's still the same as the previous design principle, it's 'easy to get out, but hard to get in'." The square brick I asked Ning Cui to press over was most likely the cardinal who closed the iron spears on both sides. As long as you can go through this walkway and press down the brick, it should be unobstructed. ”
Xie Yixiang saw that his eyes were clearly looking at him when he spoke, and he couldn't help asking, "How do you want me to pass?" Shang Buqi groaned: "No matter how exquisite the mechanism is, it will die after all." The reason why Ning Cui touched the mechanism must have been because the ground of this corridor sensed her weight, and the iron spears on the two walls would stab out. In my opinion, as long as you don't step on the ground of this walkway, you shouldn't touch the mechanism. ”
Xie Yixiang thought in her heart, and couldn't help but shake her head slowly, and said: "The entire aisle is five zhang long, and I can't jump over it with my light skills." But Ning Cui, who was next to him, suddenly spoke: "If you are willing to unlock my acupoint, I can be a fat sheep again and try it for you." ”
