Chapter 17 (6)

After that, I walked all the way to the map without any accidents. Until there were only two pieces of wood left in his hand, one engraved with a figure, and the other engraved with the unsolved set of mysterious numbers. Several people knew that the Hades Temple could be entered in a blink of an eye, and their hearts were excited and nervous. A stone door was opened on the cave wall not far away, but it was half-open and half-hidden, leaving an extremely limited gap, Chu Menglin avoided an arrow crossbow mechanism on the wall, and was the first to rush forward, and said with a smile: "I don't know which predecessor did it, and I have to close the open door again, it's really a small weapon." "Reach out and push.

The young man said in his heart: "The seniors who entered the ancient tomb and fought upside down put their own safety first, and considered how to leave quickly, who would calculate to cause trouble to the juniors? Do you think they are all as cautious as you? But half of the tomb door is opened, and there seems to be a special one among them, I have vaguely heard people talk about it......" Suddenly remembering something, he was instantly frightened and his soul was not possessed, and shouted: "I can't push it!" In a hurry, he didn't have time to take care of it, so he rushed forward and grabbed Chu Menglin's wrist, and dragged her away before she could touch her directly, using too much force, and almost stood unsteady after taking a few steps back.

Chu Menglin's eyes widened angrily, and she shouted: "Look for death! Don't let me go! Are you dying?"

The young man said, "It's you who don't want to die! What do you know? If I hadn't stopped me just now, would you have known that you had almost touched something? As far as I know, that is called 'Shading Tian', that is, commonly known as the sand accumulation mechanism, once touched, no one will be able to get out alive, and it will be the most powerful line of defense in the tomb. You've seen gossip formations, Zen staff attacks, poison needles, arrows, crossbows, and so on, and you think it's terrifying, isn't it? But I'll tell you honestly, those mechanisms only need to be carefully guarded, or rescued in time, and they won't die. This is different, behind this tomb door is a huge flap trap door, and on the trap door is tens of thousands of catties of fine sand. As long as the tomb door is pushed open, the flap is turned down, and the fine sand is poured down, the entire tomb can be filled in an instant, and you can no longer hope to escape. ”

Chu Menglin saw that his expression was serious, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious, half of his heart was convinced, but he was still unconvinced, and said: "How can you be so powerful? You are just bluffing, so you are making a fool of yourself, how do you know if you haven't tried it?" The young man said: "If you don't believe it, there is no way, once you try it, we all have to die here, what do you care about at that time, you lose and I win, you are wrong and I am right?"

Chu Menglin said: "According to what you said, isn't this tomb also destroyed at the same time......? The young man said, "The owner of the tomb would rather be like this than be plundered by others to take away the treasures in the tomb, and at the same time you forced him to destroy his own tomb, he hated you very much, and of course he dragged you down to the Yellow Spring." This is a fight in the competition, but the tomb owner is more cost-effective, because he is already dead. ”

Duoduo frowned and said, "Enough, I believe you, how can this mechanism be broken?" The young man praised: "Okay, good question, to the point! You are not like this girl, rambling and talking nonsense." I heard from my ancestors that if the door of the tomb was not opened more than half a foot, the upper end would still be stable, as long as you found a huge log, propped it up at the joint of the two flaps, and then stuffed some bricks underneath it, and it would be broken. ”

Chu Menglin said: "Where to find the log?" The young man finally showed a smile on his face, and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, look at the situation of this tomb gate, it is obvious that the seniors who entered first have broken the mechanism, let's enjoy it." However, you have to be careful not to touch it when you enter. ”

Chu Menglin liked to cross the river and tear down the bridge the most, and a moment ago he looked respectful, and when he heard that the young man had no use value, he immediately pushed him away, and said: "You just said that the mechanism has been broken, isn't it good? Who is the nonsense?" The young man said: "I made it clear in advance that I want you to understand the danger of this mechanism and know how to be cautious." Chu Menglin said disdainfully: "I don't need you to teach me." He stepped forward and looked at the gap, and sighed, "Why isn't that senior a fat man?" ”

The young man sneered: "What do you know? Although the log plays a shared role, the main weight of the fine sand must be supported by the tomb gate, and the size must be strictly limited, even the fat man has to wait until he is hungry and thin, otherwise he will not be able to enter at all! People have helped us solve this big problem, and you are not grateful to Dade, and you are still picky about people's tall, short, fat and thin? It's really terrible, with you here, I really can't rest assured, I said aunt, grandma, or you can do well, don't go in, just stay here and wait, okay?" As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed again and again, his face full of pleading.

Chu Menglin sneered: "Don't worry about me, you are still worried about yourself!" Although she regarded the lives of others very lightly, she took her own safety very seriously, if it was other organs, she could also order the young man to come forward and try first, as if the whole army would be wiped out at every turn, and she would no longer be able to find someone to replace her. She looked at it, had already estimated the general direction, facing the tomb door, because she felt that the young man's frightened expression was very interesting, and pretended to be ready to go on a rampage, the young man's face was as shocked as earth, and exclaimed, "No......"

Chu Menglin grinned, her body turned flexibly, and she turned into the tomb door lightly, without even touching a piece of clothing. The young man breathed a long sigh of relief, spit out the word "Ke" that had been cut off out of thin air, and continued: "Thank God, Bodhisattva bless, Amitabha." He looked up at Dodor and waited for him to signal.

Duoduo said coldly: "You go in first, I can't rest assured of you." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, wondering whether this was suspicion or worry, let alone whether to justify or thank, so he nodded and replied, "Yes." Step by step, I walked to the tomb door, first stepped my left leg carefully, aimed my left shoulder at the crack in the door, and moved it inch by inch, and suddenly thought halfway: "It's not good, that little demon girl don't give me tricks in again, just she suddenly screamed in my ear, I was scared a little, triggered the mechanism, and I have to explain here today." "Although I feel that Chu Menglin will not be indifferent to her own life and death, this demon girl does not know the seriousness of her actions, and she must not take it lightly. Fortunately, until the right foot was moved in, there was no accident, and Wu Zi broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but feel sincere gratitude to Chu Menglin. It is rare for those who invite disasters all day long to keep to themselves, but they are more happy than those who never cause trouble.

Duoduo stood outside the tomb gate and said in his heart: "It's so dangerous, if the first person to come here fails to crack the mechanism, he deserves to die, and even the relics of the imperial uncle will be buried from now on, which is really my lifelong hatred." Damn tomb robbers, change the laws of the Qing Dynasty in the future, and make tomb robbing a first-class felony!"

This space is more open, except for the four walls of the earthen wall, there is no obstacle in it, and it is also different from the cave-like sheep intestine path, which is quite imposing, and it is estimated that it is the "front hall" built outside the underworld. On the ground is a large pool of blood, the blood in the pool is gurgling, making it easy to think that there are countless souls buried in it, lying at the bottom of the pool and crying bitterly, wanting to find someone to ask for their lives, looking at the blood pool a few more times, and the brain has been dizzy.

At the bottom of your feet, a road made of gray and white tiles, square, floating on the surface of the pool, does not shake, you can see it at a glance, you just need to walk along the road, even the map is not necessary, there are occasional forks, and the end is also clearly visible. The edge of the trail is almost flush with the pool, and the road surface is relatively smooth, so the only thing to watch out for is to stumble into the pool of blood. In addition, it is a safe area for adjustment.

Halfway through, I saw a thick pillar erected in the middle of the road, its height reached the top of the temple, it can be called one of the pillars in this hall, and there was a winch-like wheel embedded in the column, which was roughly located at the shoulder level of ordinary people. The winch is slightly higher than an inch, carved with a blue-faced monster protruding from the column, with its lips closed and a hideous face, which makes the viewer feel unconsciously worried.

Chu Menglin was about to turn the winch, but the young man hurriedly said, "Don't touch it, I'm afraid this mechanism is a little dangerous." Chu Menglin muttered, "How can you know if you haven't tried it", recalling her reckless fumbling in the tomb, many hidden mechanisms were basically triggered by her, so she didn't insist on it anymore, but she didn't see the purpose of this mechanism, and she always felt regret in her heart.

Follow the trail to the end, there is only a bare wall at the end, and according to the map, it also ends here. Chu Menglin was very proud, and said with a smile: "That's right, the previous mechanism really had to be opened, and it was my most prescient." Turning around and returning, the young man said in his heart: "A fool will have a thousand thoughts, and he will have one." "The closer you get to the temple, the tighter the defense in the tomb will become, and the more you must not take this risk and entrust your life to a crazy little girl." Hurry up and say, "It's a trivial matter, don't dare to bother you, let me drive." ”

Chu Menglin said disdainfully: "Useless guy, why don't you see you when you are doing big things? ”

The young man said in his heart: "Aren't you the same? You have practiced the most kung fu with this face, and those faults are obviously better than those of yourself, and you can teach others without changing your face." He had no choice but to brag about her, and finally persuaded her to step aside, and then walked to the front of the mechanism, first circled around the pillar, clenched his fists and knocked everywhere, squatted down to examine carefully, and made sure that there was no small hole in the pillar to launch the hidden weapon, only the blue-faced beast was worried. Avoid the left side of the pillar, straighten your whole body, and press the spine of the sword against the pillar with your left hand, which is another layer of protection for yourself. Slowly extend your right hand and hold the winch.

The edges of the winch were covered with triangular spikes, leaving tiny gaps between them, and the young man inserted his fingers into them, one between each of his fingers. Turning the winch clockwise, turning only one finger at a time, Chu Menglin laughed at him for being a coward. When the spike on the left side of its thumb rotated thirty-seven degrees from its original position, the green-faced beast suddenly opened its large mouth, and a wisp of lilac smoke erupted from it, accompanied by a strange aroma, spreading in all directions.

The young man said in his heart, "It's not good, it's poisonous smoke!" Hurriedly covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, his right hand quickly rotated counterclockwise, turned the winch back to its original position, and then fell on the ground and rolled several times in succession, avoiding the pillar. When Chu Menglin saw the smoke appear, she also hurriedly held her breath and turned around. The smoke gradually dissipated after a while, but fortunately there was less escape at first, and the mechanism was shut down in time, and neither of them was poisoned. Chu Menglin complained to the young man again. The young man said in his heart: "Count me wrong, you are a fool who has a thousand worries and losses, and you don't even have a single gain." ”

Back to the wall just now, Chu Menglin pretended to act inside, clenched her fist on the wall and tapped it, the sound was dull and solid, and crisp was hollow, but she lacked experience and couldn't judge for a while. Listening closely, there seems to be a "rustling" sound behind the wall, and it is difficult to determine whether there is one or not. He waved his hand to the young man and said, "The old way, dig." The young man said angrily: "What, if you ask me to dig, I will dig?" Duoduo said coldly: "You don't want to?"

When the young man saw that his eyes were sharp, he hurriedly changed his words: "How dare you? I mean, I will only dig if you ask me to dig it." He said digging and digging, took out the Luoyang shovel and stabbed it against the wall, Chu Menglin scolded viciously: "Dog minion!"

The young man waved his shovel and dug without raising his head: "I advise you not to scold like this, and don't forget who I am doing for you." Analyzing the meaning of the words, what you call me is just the word 'slave', which is meaningless praise and disparagement, the previous word can be shaped, and it is difficult to say who is scolding......" Chu Menglin changed her tone and scolded: "Slave dog." Even she heard this new word for the first time, and couldn't help but giggle after scolding.
