Chapter 434: The Year of the Clouds
After about a cup of tea, the wire moved to the lowest end of the stone door against the ground, and then slowly pulled the wire outward, only to hear a sound, the wire was pulled out violently, but the stone door was still blocked by the things behind the door and could not be opened.
Wu Datong was not in a hurry, bent the wire into a circle again, this time the circle was reduced by a few points, and inserted the wire into the stone door according to the method just now, and when the yard reached the low end of the stone gate, he pulled the wire hard, but he didn't want to fail again.
Wu Datong was not discouraged, constantly adjusted the size of the wire ring, repeated the practice just now, tried dozens of times, but was unsuccessful, Chen Jianping, Nalan Yue, and Jiang Qichen, who were watching from the side, were anxious but did not dare to speak out loudly.
Wu Datong persevered, repeating over and over again, only to see that when he wiped the ground and pulled the wire out this time, he pulled the wire diagonally upwards slightly, although the wire was pulled out suddenly, and there were two slight sounds of "dong dong" suddenly from behind the stone door.
This voice sounded like the sound of two stones colliding, Wu Datong's face was happy, and he whispered excitedly: "There is a door!"
Then, Wu Datong inserted the iron ring into the crack of the door again, this time pulling more slowly and tilting upwards at a greater angle.
As more and more parts of the wire were pulled out, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Wu Datong's mouth, and only the sound of "Cave Tong" came from inside the stone gate, which seemed to be a big stone ball rolling.
Wu Datong pointed to the stone gate, nodded slightly at Chen Jianping, and then pressed his right ear tightly against the stone door, listening carefully, Chen Jianping also took a deep breath to adjust his internal breath, and tried his best to listen inside.
At this moment, there was no sound inside, Chen Jianping and Wu Datong pushed the stone gate on the left, and the sound of the stone door and the ground suddenly rubbing against each other, this sound was like the sound of a stone mill turning, and the stone door on the left was pushed open a crack more than a foot wide.
Chen Jianping was overjoyed in his heart, and was just about to push harder, Wu Datong slowly waved his hand, signaled Chen Jianping to stop, lit the extinguished torch on the ground, and threw the torch inside along the crack in the door.
By the light of the fire, the two of them looked inside, and saw that the space inside seemed to be very large, and there were several heavy sarcophagi in the area illuminated by the firelight, and the rest of the place was too dark to see clearly.
Wu Datong pushed the stone door open a little more, Chen Jianping and Jiang Qichen rushed into the tomb, rolled on the spot and leaned against a sarcophagus, Wu Datong and Nalan Yue followed in with torches.
By the light of the fire, Chen Jianping looked back at the stone gate, and saw a large stone ball on the side, presumably this stone ball was blocked on the stone door, and it turned out that there was an exquisite arrangement at the bottom of the inner side of the stone gate.
A stone groove was dug along the semi-arc formed between the bottom of the stone door switch and the ground, and then a semicircular hole was made in the ground from the gap between the two stone doors closed at the bottom of the inner side.
When the mourners come out of it, the huge cobblestone rolls towards the bottom of the door with the closing of the door in a semi-arc groove, and when the two stone doors are completely closed, the stone ball rolls down into the round hole on the inside of the bottom of the stone door.
In this way, when the people outside close the stone door tightly, the ball falls into the pit in the middle of the gap at the bottom of the stone door on the inner side, half of it is trapped in the pit, and half of it is blocked by the heavy sword of the two stone doors, so that it does not prevent the mourners from leaving the tomb, and can also hold the door of the tomb from the inside when there is no one in the tomb.
Wu Datong used an iron circle, put it on the part where the stone ball came into contact with the pit, and pulled it hard to make the stone ball pop out of the hole under force, so that the stone door could be opened.
Chen Jianping was amazed at the ingenious arrangement in his heart, and he was also impressed by people's scheming, so hard work, after all, it was easy to be cracked, all the tricks were clever, but it was just self-deception!
At this moment, Nalan Yue cautiously came to Chen Jianping's side, pointed to the south side of the tomb, and said, "Look, it's a little strange over there, there seems to be someone!"
Chen Jianping was about to look in the direction pointed by Nalan Yue, but he saw Wu Datong's chicken thief look at a broken sarcophagus, looked at it and said: "Look at what I said, the gang will not bury thickly, there is nothing in the coffin!"
Nalan Yue frowned when she heard this, Chen Jianping hurriedly made a small gesture, and Wu Datong and Nalan Yue hurriedly lowered the torches and looked around nervously.
It turned out that looking in the direction pointed by Nalan Yue, there seemed to be a faint white light around a sarcophagus in the south, and the half-open sarcophagus was quietly placed there, coupled with the looming white light, it was very terrifying.
Wu Datong stuck to a sarcophagus and said angrily: "What did I say, it's not good to hear movement before entering the tomb!"
Chen Jianping slowly pulled out the bell sword, got up gently, beckoned to Wu Datong and Nalan Yue, motioned for the two of them to follow him, and then slowly walked towards the sarcophagus that glowed with a slight white light.
Getting closer and closer to the sarcophagus, the three of them saw clearly that the white light was not coming from the sarcophagus, but the white light emitted behind the sarcophagus, reflecting on the sarcophagus.
At this moment, Chen Jianping breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew the bell sword from its scabbard, straightened up, and walked straight over.
Wu Datong and Nalan Yue were slightly startled, and stopped Chen Jianping in a low voice, Chen Jianping said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, there is someone behind the sarcophagus wall, it should be the person we are looking for!"
Turning the low wall behind the sarcophagus, a white light suddenly appeared in the eyes, very dazzling, and when I looked around, it turned out to be an independent small room, and there was an ancient shelf on the north side, on which there was a row of discarded long swords inserted like a stone tablet, and on the dilapidated circle chair in front of the case, a person sat loosely.
Chen Jianping frowned, paused, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you and why are you here?"
The man replied weakly, "I am the owner of this Guiyun Village, Yun Xiaonian!"
Wu Da leaned forward and asked suspiciously, "Yun Xiaonian, why do I sound so familiar?"
Chen Jianping stared at the person in front of the offering table with his eyes, and said word by word: "It's very familiar, because he is Yun Xiaonian's younger brother!"
Wu Datong pouted helplessly and said, "It's over, this is really a narrow road!"
I saw Yun Xiaonian's face pale, wearing an inky black robe, his whole body was bloodstained and scarred, seeing Chen Jianping and the three of them walking into the small room, Yun Xiaonian smiled dumbly and said: "I thought about it for many days, who would come here, but I didn't expect it to be you anyway!"
Chen Jianping sneered and said, "Why can't it be me?"
Yun Xiaonian coughed weakly and said, "Because I think you are a smart person, it may not be a wise move to snatch the Panze Yuan God from me at this moment, which is why I can stay here in peace for so many days!"
Chen Jianping nodded slightly and said, "What you said is good, but I don't care, Panze Yuanshen must not fall into the hands of a person as frantic as your brother again!"
Yun Xiaonian smiled dryly, and asked hoarsely, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Chen Jian said expressionlessly: "Don't be afraid, trouble can never be avoided, even if I don't have this Pan Ze Yuanshen, I am destined to be in trouble in this life!"
Yun Xiaonian smiled again and said: "You are quite open-minded, indeed, my brother also caused you a lot of trouble at the beginning, because you are a treasure, and because of his ambition!"
Chen Jianping stood silently on the spot, looking at the decadent Yun Xiaonian, at this moment, Chen Jianping did not hate, nor disgust, nor pity, even he couldn't tell how he looked at Yun Xiaonian at the moment.
After a moment of silence, Yun Xiaonian lazily pointed to the rows of swords on the wooden frame on the north side, and said: "People have tombs, swords and sword mounds, this is the sword used by the owners of Guiyunzhuang before their deaths, a full sixteen generations!"
Chen Jianping said in a low voice: "The sword, if it leaves people, no matter how good it is, it is a dead thing, and it can only be placed on the shelf to fall into ashes." ”
Yun Xiaonian heard Chen Jianping's words, and immediately said: "Things will not change, only people will change, and human nature is the most unreliable!"
Chen Jianping said coldly: "In this world, all we can rely on is human nature, if not, everything is meaningless, and only by relying on human nature can we cut off the reincarnation in the martial arts!"
Yun Xiaonian trembled and couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, only to hear him say incredulously: "Human nature? What you want to rely on is actually human nature! You yellow-mouthed kid is simply ridiculous!"
Chen Jianping's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt that it was unintentional to talk to this person again, so he didn't want to be verbose anymore, Wu Datong, Nalan Yuejiang Qichen and the three of them also looked around vigilantly, beware of any sudden changes.
Chen Jianping asked suspiciously: "Who attacked Guiyunzhuang? Judging from the signs outside, you Guiyunzhuang has suffered heavy losses!"
Yun Xiaonian smiled and said: "It's a group of unknown people, Rashomon made a big fuss in the Great Cloud Temple, there should be no spare strength to attack me, the war in the Central Plains is in full swing, I'm afraid there is no time to pay attention to me, I suspect that it is the mysterious organization in Southern Xinjiang!"
Chen Jianping nodded, Yun Xiaonian glanced at Chen Jianping sarcastically, and said categorically: "Jianping child, always remember that human nature is the most unreliable!"
As he spoke, Yun Xiao let out a long sigh, as if he was talking to Chen Jianping and said in a deep voice: "I was born in a small village called Nan Mian on the border of southern Xinjiang. ”
Chen Jianping and the three of them were slightly surprised, a figure like Yun Xiaonian, who didn't want to be at this moment, actually said such unbounded words, Nalan Yue said in Chen Jianping's ear in a very low voice: "Is he delaying time and waiting for backup?"
