Chapter 209: The First Organ
After the rain of arrows stopped, Xiao Qingfeng then asked the lone wolf to drop a second big stone. Only then did he see clearly that when the big stone above hit the remnant of the monument below, this small dragon head made of fine copper quickly expanded inside and out.
As it expanded and contracted rhythmically, the columns of discs inside began to rotate rapidly with its rapid contraction, and at the same time, a large number of poisoned arrows were shot out of those holes.
And when the big stone on it suddenly hit the ground, a ring-shaped flap dark hole instantly appeared around the half-section of the stump, and all the poisonous arrows that were originally scattered on the ground were sucked into it at once, as if there was an extremely strong magnetism underneath.
After this wave of arrow rain passed, Xiao Qingfeng let the lone wolf and them continue to throw a large stone, which confirmed the judgment just now.
Xiao Qingfeng waited for this wave of arrow rain to pass again, and said happily to Jingxin: "Okay, I can finally understand the mystery of this now, the series of disc devices with gear teeth behind this little dragon head is the control center of this magical mechanism." And a certain force position under this remnant is the key trigger point that triggers this control center. ”
Jing said: "In this case, as long as we remove this remnant tablet and destroy the trigger point below it, then we should be considered to have cracked this mechanism." ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, this kind of repeated cycle of information agencies, I have already seen similar cases in an ancient book, so just now I suddenly had the idea of letting Brother Wolf and them try a few more times." As for its cracking method, it is generally about the same as what you said, as long as its trigger point is properly disposed of, then it is basically safe. But the most fundamental way is to completely destroy its control center, so that it can be regarded as truly lifted. ”
Jingxin said: "Then what should we do now, do you have a corresponding plan in mind?"
Xiao Qingfeng said: "In this way, let's first move the remnant monument to the side as you said, find the trigger point below and dispose of it properly." Then, let's find a way to use something to reach the disc tooth position behind this small faucet, and firmly jam it to have a double insurance. ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Meditation said, "That's very good. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "In this way, we have not only eliminated the current danger and can continue to move on to the next step with confidence, but also managed not to destroy the original facilities as much as possible, because the magical information mechanism left by these ancients is indeed an immeasurable wealth; ”
The two briefly discussed the details of the processing, and then officially began to crack it. Xiao Qingfeng wanted the prodigal son to pass alone, and gently moved the remnant of the monument to the side of the wall. When he removed the remnants, he saw an octagonal object that was slightly raised upwards underneath it.
When you look closely, this raised octagonal object the size of a bowl mouth also looks like it is made of fine copper, which seems to be the same material as the small dragon head on the north wall. In this way, it further confirms Xiao Qingfeng's speculation just now, it is the key trigger point.
After it was discovered, Xiao Qingfeng immediately asked the lone wolf above to send down a small safety cover of special material with a rope, and covered it securely. This kind of safety cover is a special kind of explosion-proof equipment, it has extremely strong hardness, can withstand huge impact force. When you cover it with it, even if you throw some big rocks from above, it won't trigger it underneath
The trigger point.
Then Xiao Qingfeng asked the lone wolf to send down a few folded cast irons, and he himself carefully inserted them into the disc behind the small dragon head, and stuck the initial gear teeth on it. In this way, the control center of this mechanism is forcibly controlled by external forces, and even if the trigger point is accidentally touched, it is difficult to cause a series of coherent actions normally.
After everything was smooth, Xiao Qingfeng let the lone wolf, the little Taoist priest, and the laughing Maitreya of the second echelon above go down the climbing rope.
When the three of them listened to Jing Xin's narration, Xiao Maitreya couldn't help but scold: "Damn, the person set up by this organ didn't have any deep hatred for society in his heart, he was an extremely crazy fool. With his kind of chain mechanism, if it weren't for a knowledgeable and wise man like our Hou Ye, I really don't know how many people would have to die before it can be settled. Not only that, but it's also fucking poisonous, and it looks like it's trying to catch all of us brothers. If you want me to say, that mysterious old blind man shouldn't be a good thing, this is a bit of a deliberate attempt to harm our brothers. ”
After Xiao Qingfeng heard this, he said unusually calmly: "Since ancient times, there have been clouds, soldiers, and treacherous ways, and the saints have to use them as a last resort. In fact, the same is true of these information agencies, which themselves are only a weapon of self-defense, and do not have any specific emotional color. Even those who use it are simply trying their best to protect themselves, and as for harming those invaders on a large scale, it must not be their own intention. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled at Maitreya and continued: "You can imagine that behind this extremely dangerous information agency, there must be a major secret that it bears, so the person who arranged it at the beginning must also do his best to be foolproof and protect this major secret to the greatest extent. In this way, once he laid out the first powerful forbidden portal, it didn't work. He should be able to estimate that the intruder must be difficult to deal with, so he has laid a series of ruthless moves in this second mechanism, which are even more difficult for people to resist. ”
After a slight pause, Xiao Qingfeng continued to say: "Actually, the more dangerous he is like this, the more it shows that the secret hidden in this has a more important value. As for that old-timer, it may be this to test our brother's true skills, so that we can have as much experience as possible and gain some knowledge. Therefore, in the future, we are no longer allowed to speculate about this kind of superiority, our brothers just want to be themselves. ”
Saying that, he patted the armor of the prodigal son on the side affectionately, and said with a smile: "To be honest, we really relied on Ah Lang's baby armor just now, otherwise I'm afraid that even if we react quickly, we should have suffered some damage, and it is estimated that it will not be the current happy situation." Therefore, I would like to reiterate once again that no matter who we are in this operation, we must absolutely obey the command and absolutely not have the slightest arbitrary assertion. Otherwise, don't blame me for really not talking about brotherhood, I must be severely punished!"
Seeing that he was so resolute, even the three mutes above answered in unison, expressing absolute obedience.
At this time, everyone began to scatter, carefully inspecting the square underground space, trying to find out the mystery of continuing to go deeper. However, except for the layout of the 'round sky' that Xiao Qingfeng discovered just now, and the ingenious and vicious mechanism, everyone did not find any valuable clues.
Wait until everyone gets the rocks and the mess of poison arrows underneath
After the safe placement, I clearly saw that the floor of the entire square space was paved with some flat and smooth stones, and the walls below were irregularly distributed with dense perforations.
Under everyone's strong light, some of the perforations are still in a semi-closed state, and there are blue lights flashing inside from time to time, giving people an extremely strange atmosphere, but fortunately, now its trigger points and control centers have been controlled.
After inspecting for more than ten minutes, everyone still didn't find anything else, let alone find out the next step in the deep passage. At this time, the three people above had been waiting for a long time, and after asking Xiao Qingfeng for instructions, they also went down to this position one after another to help everyone find and inspect.
It didn't take long for the doll, who had always been impetuous, to be a little breathless, and muttered: "I'm going to go, what kind of thing is this, dare to love our brothers and sisters with so much effort, and only found such a strange hole with ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, this is too much of that or something, I'll go!"
The little Taoist priest said: "I don't think it should be so simple, that old blind senior will never be so boring, waste so many twists and turns, just to let us help him crack this chain of mechanisms, I think there must be some extremely important hidden clues, but we haven't found it yet." ”
Lone Wolf said: "This time, I completely agree with the opinion of the Heavenly Disabled Brother, everyone will continue to expand the scope of the carpet search, but you must pay attention to safety during the search." ”
Saying that, he and the prodigal son divided their labor, and respectively carried out special duty on the trigger point under the small dragon head and the safety cover, and guarded the safety for everyone in case any accidents happened.
At this moment, the tall and mighty mute suddenly pointed to a not-so-obvious rectangular depression directly above his head.
I only heard him shout loudly: "Everyone for a moment, take a look at the position of my finger, is there a small stone niche with the shape of the small stone letter brought by Brother Wolf?"
As soon as he shouted like this, all the rest surrounded him, except for the lone wolf and the prodigal son, who were still on guard. Sure enough, on the west wall, almost two and a half meters above the dumb man's head, everyone saw a small stone niche similar to the small stone letter in the arms of the lone wolf.
It's just that I don't know how this stupid and simple mute found this extremely inconspicuous small stone pit in such a high position.
At this time, the dumb man casually moved two large stones and stacked them together, and then said to Xiao Qingfeng: "In this way, you go up first to have a good trial, see its specific situation, and whether you can find some useful clues." ”
After Xiao Qingfeng heard this, he jumped up directly without saying a word, and after he was able to stand firmly, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Hurry up, hurry up and hand over that little stone letter from Brother Wolf!"
It turned out that after he came up, he could see at a glance the size and shape of this small stone niche, which was almost exactly the same as the small stone letter. Moreover, he was surprised to find that on the cross-section inside the small stone niche, there was even a pattern that was very similar to the surface of the small stone letter.
In this way, it can almost be proved that there must be a certain internal relationship between this small stone niche and that small stone letter, and it is even very likely that this is the "keyhole" of the "key", which is the key to opening the next channel.
After the lone wolf heard this, he hurriedly asked Xiao Maitreya to be on duty instead of him, and then came to Xiao Qingfeng's bottom, raised his head and asked, "Do you want the whole small stone letter, or just the jade and jade plate inside?"
