Chapter 105: Hands and Eyes to the Sky

Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu compared the five moves on the boulder, and after mastering them all, they walked to the third passage on the right side of the throne, and went straight to the end of the passage to find a stone door, only to see that the stone wall on the left side of the stone gate was embedded with four rows, five columns, and twenty square stone slabs, each stone slab was engraved with a different pattern, and the twenty pieces were put together to make a complete landscape map. The twenty stone slabs were covered with crossbow arrows and steel needles in front www.biquge.info of the twenty stone slabs, some of which were plunged straight into the stone wall on the right.

Xiao Shu looked at the stone gate and the twenty stone slabs on the stone wall, pondered for a moment, and suddenly had a happy face, and said, "This should be a puzzle mechanism, and it has been cracked." ”

He befriended Zhou Yueyang a year ago, and learned the mechanism and theft art in Feisha Village for a period of time, although it is not as good as Dongfang Min, Lazy Dragon and other big thieves, but it is also a small achievement, and ordinary organs can also see through it.

Ye Shuying took a look and said, "As far as I know, puzzle mechanisms all need a diagram eye, but the twenty stone slabs on this stone door are neatly arranged, and there are a lot of them, how can it be a puzzle mechanism?"

Xiao Shu smiled slightly, pointed to a stone slab engraved with this leaf light boat in the middle of the third row, and said, "If my guess is right, this stone slab is moving, and the picture eye is here." ”

Ye Shuying looked at it carefully, suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, this slate is really different from other places, the whole painting is inscribed, but the boat on this slate is embossed. ”

Xiao Shu said and raised his hand to press on the stone slab, only to hear a sound of the mechanism starting, and the stone door "boomed", and it rose up, revealing a spacious stone room. It's just that this stone room is empty, there is nothing, not even a candlestick, only a painting is carved on the stone wall facing the stone gate, the picture is three or four zhang long, eight or nine feet high, and the right side is engraved with three big characters of "Tongtian Tu".

The scene in this "Picture of the Heavenly Passage" is vast, the characters are close to the size of the real person, lifelike, there are thirty or forty immortals who descend from the sky, marching in formation, the posture is rich and beautiful, although the picture is quiet but wants to move, the sleeves are streamers, the flags are circulating, staggered and whirling, the real clothes are flying, the walls are full of wind; the room is silent but also seems to have sound, making people feel as if all kinds of musical instruments in the picture are emitting a kind of harmonious music, melodious in the air.

Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu looked at the beautiful shape and vivid posture, the king with beards and temples, and the fairy who was fluttering, only to feel that the scenes in the picture were about to come out, and people couldn't help but touch the strong and bright lines on the wall with their hands.

Ye Shuying saw that there was a fairy on the stone wall whose face and posture were six or seven points similar to Shen Yuhong, and thought of Shen Yuhong, and wondered if she had forgiven herself, so her fingertips unconsciously stroked the forehead and cheeks of the portrait, and when she touched her eyes, she found that the fairy's eyes were actually moving, he instantly touched a snake and scorpion, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and jumped back, shouting: "Xiao Shu, retreat!"

I only heard a soft sound of "click" at the stone wall, and the sound of the arrow feathers breaking through the air suddenly in the stone room was loud, and the crossbow arrows were shot in all directions, and some shot to the surrounding stone walls to "aggressively", or flew straight or obliquely shot, and it was endless.

Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu dodged sideways for a while, and retreated outside the stone gate, until the sound in the stone room completely stopped, and no more arrow feathers were shot, and then they returned to the stone room. This time, the two of them were more careful, walked to the stone wall carved with immortals, and then carefully observed the portraits on the stone wall, and found that the lines carved on the eyes of all the characters on the wall were deeper than those elsewhere, and they seemed to be movable.

Ye Shuying picked up three arrow feathers from the ground and said, "I'll try again." Xiao Shu understood, and retreated to the stone gate with him, Ye Shuying threw the arrow feather with his hand, hitting the eyes of three different people, and the stone wall shot the arrow feather like a dark cloud and rain in an instant, and it stopped for a long time.

Xiao Shu couldn't help but sigh: "What a powerful mechanism." When the sound in the room had completely stopped, he stood at the doorway and watched the stone wall from afar. Ye Shuying knew that this stone wall was extraordinary, and there must be secrets, so he also pondered with his cheeks back, pacing back and forth in the stone room, muttering to himself: "Tongtian map, Tongtian, why is it called Tongtian map...... Could it be that behind this stone wall is an exit......?

After thinking for a while, Ye Shuying retreated to the stone gate again, looking at the characters and layout in the whole picture from a distance, looking at it for a while, only to feel that this picture was a little familiar, and then thought about it carefully, and suddenly clapped his legs and shouted: "By the way, it's that picture...... Wait for me for a moment. After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly walked out of the passage.

Xiao Shu was still thinking hard, and when Ye Shuying returned to this stone room a moment later, he already had an extra roll of yellow silk in his hand, and said: "Xiao Shu, come and see, this is what I accidentally saw in the study over there before, and it turns out that the picture on this stone wall is from this picture scroll." ”

Xiao Shu walked over and unfolded the scroll, and saw that it was a handscroll of anonymous white figures about one zhang long and one foot wide, with seventy or eighty figures on it, and compared with the picture on the stone wall, he found that the characters carved on the stone wall were all from this scroll, but the positions were all disrupted.

Xiao Shu said: "But I still can't figure out how to crack the mechanism on this stone wall." ”

Ye Shuying put the candle close to the stone wall, carefully observed the lines on the stone wall, found the position of each character in the original picture, and then compared it to twenty-five or sixteen, but found that except for the difference in the overall layout, each figure was no different from the original picture. Ye Shuying was about to give up, but Xiao Shu suddenly shouted, "Look here!"

Ye Shuying turned around and saw Xiao Shu staring at the hand of a Heavenly King on the stone wall, and also looked at that hand, and found that the Heavenly King's raised right hand actually had an eye.

Ye Shuying hurriedly checked the original picture and found the location of this heavenly king, but found that there was no such eye in the original picture, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "I understand, it turned out to be 'hand and eye to the sky'! “

Xiao Shu nodded and said, "Stand back." As he spoke, he had already retreated to the stone gate with a white chess piece-like hidden weapon.

Ye Shuying retreated outside the stone gate, and Xiao Shu sent out the hidden weapon, hit the eye, and dodged behind the stone gate.

I only heard a clear sound of "click", and there was a sound of mechanism activation behind the stone wall, and the rumbling sound was endless, but this time there was no hidden weapon shooting. After a while, the sound stopped, and the two of them waited patiently for a while, and seeing that there was no more movement, Xiao Shucai exclaimed excitedly: "It seems that this time the mechanism is broken." Then the two of them entered the stone chamber again. Sure enough, the stone wall facing the stone gate had been completely raised, and behind the original stone wall was another stone chamber, in which only a large unlocked box was displayed.

Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu walked to the front of the box excitedly, glanced at each other, and reached out to open the wooden box at the same time.

Behind such an ingenious mechanism, there is only such a chest in such a secret stone room, which must be a very precious thing, even something that ordinary people can't even think of.

The lid of the wooden box is lifted. Ye Shuying and Xiao Shu were stunned for a while, looked at each other, Xiao Shu's hand was loosened, and the whole box was kicked under the corner of the wall with one kick, and the box was impacted, and it suddenly fell apart, and a rusty copper lock fell out. Ye Shuying laughed.

Xiao Shu glared at him and said, "What's so funny about this!"

Ye Shuying said with a smile: "Since this is a joke, why don't I laugh, do you want to make me cry?" Since the mechanism outside this stone room was broken before we arrived, naturally someone took the first step and took away the treasures in this secret room, why do you need to be angry?"

It turned out that the wooden box contained nothing more than a lock, the lock that had locked the box in the first place. And the man who took the contents of the box, put the lock in the box and played a joke on them.

Xiao Shu said: "Who said I was angry? I just wanted to see if there was a mezzanine in this box, but now it seems that there is none." ”

Ye Shuying looked around with a smile, but saw that there was nothing in the entire spacious secret room except for the empty box. Candelabras, frescoes, mezzanines, secret passages, nothing, just dust all over the floor.

The two of them carefully examined the stone wall up and down, left and right, but still found nothing.

Through the sky, through the sky, through the sky, what kind of heaven is the door! Could it be that the contents of that box are treasures that can make people have the power to reach the sky? Ye Shuying really couldn't figure out what exactly was originally in the box.

Such an ingenious mechanism, such a secret room, is there only such a box, and the room is full of dust!

Ye Shuying shook her head helplessly and said, "Let's go, go to the last passage and take a look." ”

The two men exited the passage and entered the second passage to the right of the throne. At the end of this passage, the stone door is opened, it is actually a spacious and luxurious stone room, which is carved beams and paintings, bead curtains and jade cases, gold cups and jade cups, full of luxury, almost every daily utensils are worth a lot of money, even the utensils in the Daze Garden, the most magnificent mansion of the Lin family, the largest family in the south of the Yangtze River, on the shore of Poyang Lake, are not as good as here.

Ye Shuying looked around the room, lit the unburned candles on the candlesticks, and said, "Strangely, the stone chambers that the other passages lead to are all closed, but this most spacious palace-like stone room has a wide open door, and there seem to be a lot of utensils in the room. Didn't anyone come here after the death of those people outside? But the contents of the box were gone......

Xiao Shu casually picked up a mutton fat jade bottle, looked at it carefully, and said: "If I remember correctly, Lin Zhiyuan has a mutton fat jade bottle like this, which is said to be an antiquity of the Han Dynasty. ”

Xiao Shu put down the jade net bottle, picked up a celadon vase under the windowsill, looked at the bottom of the bottle, and said with a smile: "The seventh year of Tianbao is a thing from the Tang Dynasty." If you take it out and sell it, you can sell it for a few hundred taels of silver. ”

Ye Shuying also casually picked up a crystal clear jade cup on the table, blew away the dust in the cup, and said: "It seems that the master here has a lot of money, and he is rich enough to rival the country. It's just that even if he is rich and glorious, after a hundred years, he will not be the same as rotten bones, and these things are just empty halls, what is the difference between them and ordinary wood and stone utensils?"

Xiao Shu smiled: "Of course there is a difference, if it is just an ordinary appliance, at least you won't make such an emotion, right?"

Ye Shuying suddenly laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad." ”

The two walked through the beaded curtain around the two rosewood brocade screens and walked into the inner room, but there was an accident again.

Behind the screen sat a ragged man with unkempt hair, his head bowed, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his feet in old black cloth shoes, and two thick rusty iron chains locked at his ankles, the other ends of which were locked to two large stone pillars.

When the two of them saw this, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: "How can there be a living person here?"

Ye Shuying cautiously stepped forward and shouted, "Senior......"

The man was motionless, and Xiao Shu said, "There is no food or water in this house, and he is locked here again, but I am afraid that he will already die." ”

Ye Shuying approached cautiously and pulled out the man's hair that covered his face, only to see that behind the messy hair was Bai Sensen's skeleton, which was very scary by candlelight. Ye Shuying was startled, hurriedly retreated, and said, "It turned out to be a dry bone, but I don't know why he is trapped here." ”

Xiao Shu stepped forward, tore off a piece of the corner of his clothes on the bones, twisted it, and said, "This person and those people outside did not die at the same time. The clothes on the bones outside had all been reduced to ashes, and the clothes on this man's body, although rotten, were still intact, and he should have been dead for less than twenty years. I just don't know who trapped him here. ”

Ye Shuying said: "I'm afraid this is only known to the people who imprisoned him here. Let's go, look elsewhere. ”

Xiao Shu said: "I've seen all the passages, what else are you looking for?"

Ye Shuying said: "Of course, it is the most important place. Don't you think there's something missing here?"

Xiao Shu said: "Entrance!"

Ye Shuying said: "Yes, there is everything here, but the entrance is missing." The contents of this house were not brought in from the passage on the day we entered. ”
