Chapter 22 Adventure - Ball Play

☆☆☆

Xiong Daiying ran to gather everyone, and then they all gathered on the high platform. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Teng Chuliang said what he thought just now, and everyone was amazed.

The green-bearded old man frowned and repeated, "Master Chu's ball play?"

The rest of the people didn't understand it. This is the capital of the ancient Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, which has far exceeded their expectations. And this city is actually a place for games, which is even more incredible.

Wang Shu asked: "What does Teng Zhuangshi mean, this whole city was originally a place for people to play?"

Teng Chuliang said: "If you say it's just for people to have fun, but you underestimate it, it looks like a place to train tricks." ”

When it came to the tricks, Chris was solemn, and she always suspected that these were all built by Dugu Liangxi.

Bei Sanqi had never heard such a strange thing, and muttered to himself: "It's really interesting!"

This is not an interesting thing for a long time, and Chris's intuition tells her that Dugu Lianghui leaving the Iron Buddha Hall and running to Salmon Island is not as simple as it seems, and there seems to be a big secret hidden in it - a dangerous secret. It's just that at such a juncture, instead of worrying about whether tracking down his whereabouts is playing with fire, it is better to worry more about how to solve the mystery of this micro-city! She took out the map she had just drawn and said, "Brother Teng, I have drawn a layout map here, can you see if you can use it?"

Seeing the map drawn by Chris, Teng Chuliang and Wang Shu were slightly shocked in their hearts. Although the drawings are very sketchy, Chris drew them according to the architectural blueprints, and all the key points in the city are drawn, and the layout is clear at a glance. Not only that, but next to the layout drawing, there is also a sectional drawing. According to the stone crevice he entered, the height of the cliff, Chris also marked the stone chamber he entered later, and the spiral staircase besieged by the scorpion swarm, and now the location of the micro city they are in is also clearly recognizable. Teng Chuliang couldn't hide his surprise and said, "Brother Xian's painting is so good!" Wang Shu secretly exclaimed, even the best painter under his command could hardly draw such a detailed strategic map in such a short period of time, it seems that Ouyang Feng is by no means an ordinary person. Wouldn't it be very effective if you could take him under your own account and survey and make a map?

Chris was a little surprised why Wang Shu stared at him with such extremely hot eyes.

Wang Shu put away his thoughts, the most important thing at the moment was how to find the exit, and he concentrated on finding it on the map. After a while, he asked, "Teng Zhuangshi, do you know where the exit is, how to open it, and what do you need to do?"

"There are three exits, the gate of heaven, the gate of earth, and the gate of water. Each wooden box has these three doors, but the positions are slightly reversed. He roughly pointed out a few directions on the map, and said, "These three doors are just for the people who play the game to distinguish the winners and losers, and each exit should be counted, and no matter which one is opened, you can leave here." We need to use the various mechanisms in the city to finally send the ball to the right place and open any exit. It's just that this requires the cooperation of many people, and it is not possible for one person to do it. ”

Ning Yifei interjected and asked, "It's a ball play, where is the ball?"

"Let's listen to the explanation!" As he spoke, Teng Chuliang spread the map in his hand, pointed to a building in the upper left corner, and said: "This is Master Chu's official mansion, called the 'City Decree Hall', turn it, and the wooden ball will roll out from the side of the secret passage." ”

Chris looked into the city according to the location of the map, and it was the red official yamen he had just seen. She thought to herself: No wonder like a sedan chair, it turns out that the handles on the left and right sides are used for people to push.

Teng Chuliang said: "Looking down, the stone house is heavy, and at least four people on one side and eight people need to push it together before you can turn this mechanism." ”

Hong Qili had just checked the city order hall closely, and at that time he noticed that the stone house seemed to be able to rotate, so he once held the stone handle and moved it, although the stone house was heavy, but it was not difficult for him. He stepped forward and said, "It's better to hand it over to the next person!"

Teng Chuliang thought to himself: The Hong Gang Master's divine power is amazing, it shouldn't be a problem, so there will be much more manpower. He nodded and said, "That's great, this city order hall will be handed over to Brother A." ”

Everyone knew that he was a great martial artist from the time he repelled the scorpion, and now that he said so, no one questioned it.

Teng Chuliang pointed to the canals that surrounded the city and said, "The wooden balls will travel along the canals, and then fall into the city at a specific location, can you see huge stone pillars erected all over the city?"

Chris remembered that those stone pillars were carried by stone giant beasts, one of which she knew, and the mechanism that Yin Chen opened when he was in the turtle room was this turtle with a snake's tail, Xiao Fei said that it was called "Xuanwu".

"According to the direction, the four stone pillars set up in the city, such as the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu, are the mechanisms we want to use. ”

Next, under Teng Chuliang's arrangement, the captain of the guard team was assigned to various parts of the city with a dozen or so subordinates. When there was still one person missing, Mao Sui, a middle-aged man on the island, recommended himself: "The villain used to be the guard of the Qianzhou City Patrol, and he is willing to do his best for the adults." The captain of the guard asked a few questions, and sure enough, he was familiar with the commands and gestures of the guards, and it was easy to command, so he agreed to let him join.

The middle-aged man handed over his wounded companion to the old man and stood in the line to enter the city.

Tuwa has never seen the city at all, this has already made him dizzy, just walked through the city, the old man wasted a lot of strength to stop the curious Tuwa, try to let him only look at it and not touch, so as not to inadvertently touch any mechanism. Now Tuwa saw his partner standing in a lined line, he whined and asked, the old man really couldn't explain what the middle-aged man was going to do next, it was too abstract for Tuwa, he had to comfort softly, fortunately, Tuwa was not very persistent, and soon stopped making noise.

Then, Teng Chuliang took the trouble to explain how the organs in each place were controlled and what their functions were, until everyone remembered them.

Chris suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Teng, is that weird silver iron tree also a mechanism?"

"The strange tree you are talking about is called the 'Acacia Tree'. ”

"Acacia tree?" Ning Yifei asked.

Yin Chen has always tried his best to maintain the style of "Zhang Changbei" because of his identity, and he is actually very curious about Tie Shu, but fortunately, Ning Yifei asked.

Teng Chuliang said: "It is rumored that the 'Acacia Tree' was born by the Song people Han Ping and his wife, with the beauty of his wife, was occupied by King Song Kang, the two could not bear the humiliation, and committed suicide one after another. ”

The poignant story of the acacia tree touched the female Taoist priests present, and Huang Jingjing said lightly: "Red beans are born in the southern country, we only know Acacia Zi, but we don't know Acacia Tree." Zi Ling's eyes were slightly moist, and Gao Liang'er and Mi Yu also nodded with a little touch.

As soon as the female Taoist priest spoke, Teng Chuliang stuttered again, and he quickly turned to Chris and continued, "Hmm...... The Acacia Tree is the most important mechanism, as long as it is properly coordinated, it can make the wooden ball fall down the high waterway in the city to the Acacia Tree, the iron tree can retract and grab the wooden ball, and then it can be sent, as long as we control it properly, we can hit the ball in any direction we want!"

Chris said in his heart: If it is true that as Brother Teng said, Tieshu can launch the ball to the exact landing point, it will greatly improve the efficiency and save a lot of time. For a while, everyone listened to Teng Chuliang's words, and they were all a little excited.

"The Acacia Tree needs to be controlled by someone with extremely quick hands and feet. ”

Looking at Xiong Daiying, Chris: "I'll leave it to Ah Bing here." ”

Hong Qili said: "Xiao Yi, Ah Bing and I are not here, and there can't be no one next to the big official." ”

Chris frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Yujiu, and said in his heart: Hong Qi doesn't know that Qin Daguan is a thief, where does he need my protection?!

Xiong Daiying thought to himself: It seems that on the night of Qizhou, the Hong gang leader must have discovered that the master was a woman, and it was a good thing that he took care of the master everywhere. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Chris yelled in his heart: You two are too deep into the play, right?

"Brother Xian, let's stay on the high platform!" Teng Chuliang replied, "Acacia Tree may be better controlled by one person, and besides, you are a fine person, and you can help your brother to observe, remind you at any time, and be more down-to-earth for your brother." "Actually, he needs Chris to deliver a message to the female Taoist.

After thinking about it, Chris finally agreed.

Xiong Daiying said in his heart: The master often eats soft and not hard, and the master can listen to the good words of the valley master, and it seems that he will also learn the methods of the Teng valley master in the future.

Teng Chuliang turned his head and explained to Xiong Daiying: "Not far from the iron tree, there is a small platform, and there are two round male and female mandarin duck buttons on the platform, the left male and the right female, the female is to close, and the male is released, and they can be rotated to change the angle. When the time comes, you need to press the correct button, can you write it down?"

Xiong Daiying nodded and asked, "The iron tree is closer to the high platform, I can hear you shouting, but what about the people in the distance?"

When everyone heard this, it suddenly dawned on them, and someone asked: "Yes, this little brother is right, how do we know when to open and when to close those mechanisms?"

"Everyone, don't get impatient, and look there!"

Everyone followed Teng Chuliang's fingers, and at the front of the observation deck where they were standing, there was a rectangular stone table, and there were some long poles on the table, which were covered with dust. Teng Chuliang walked over, picked up a long pole with his hand, and shook off the dust, only then did everyone understand that there was a red flag rolled on the long pole, Chris walked over and picked up another one, shook off the dust, and it was a green flag.

Teng Chuliang said: "The whole city is the same as the wooden box game, except that someone needs to stand here and wave flags of different colors to command the people who open the mechanism everywhere in the city!"

Only then did everyone nod their heads, understanding that this high platform was originally the command platform.

Teng Chuliang was next to Chris, he bent down and whispered a few words in her ear, and Chris almost laughed after hearing it. It turned out that Teng Chuliang was afraid of talking directly to the woman, so he asked her to pass the word on his behalf. Chris unconsciously cleared his throat and asked the Dao Gusses: "Brother Teng wants a few fairy Gu to help wave the colorful flags and pass the signal of the opening and closing organs to the people in the city, I wonder if you are willing?"

Gao Liang'er and Mi Yu were worried that they couldn't help, Zi Ling and Huang Jingjing also looked at Mai Xiu at the same time, and when the senior sister agreed, Mai Xiu said loudly: "Although our senior sisters are women, they are also people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they are not afraid to fiddle with those heavy organs in the city. ”

"Brother Teng said that commanding the flag is extremely important, and women are careful, so it is more appropriate for you to do such a heavy task. Naturally, this sentence was added by Chris himself.

After hearing this, Mai Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I see, then we will do our best to help!"

Teng Chuliang assigned the colored flags to each group of organs in the city, and assigned them to several Dao Gu, and asked Chris to pass on several flag-waving gestures on behalf of him, until they and every organ in the city understood and remembered it, and then they were relieved.

Chris pointed to another high platform and asked, "Brother Teng, what's the use of the high platform at the opposite corner?"

"There is a high platform in the southwest of Suiyang City, called 'Huoshentai', it is the stargazing platform built by the son of Emperor Yu, he watched the operation of the 'Shang Star' on the platform, teaching people when to cultivate and when to harvest, so this land on the shore of the Yellow River is called Shangqiu, and the Ranbo is born from the egg of his mother swallowing the Xuanniao, and later it is the ancestor of the merchant. Teng Chuliang glanced at the map in his hand and said, "The southwest is the Huoshentai, and the northeast is the Xuanniao Platform, a circle and one side, representing heaven and earth." Vulcan platform since ancient times is the place to store fire, but in the Chu Shi ball play, it is not a place of blessing, but a place of heavenly punishment, if you accidentally hit the wooden ball into the Vulcan platform, the stage opens a big hole full of flames, devouring the wooden ball. Of course, the wooden box is not a real fireball, but a red wooden ball is released, symbolizing that it has been ignited by the heavenly fire. If you let the red wooden ball roll into the city, you will be considered lost, and there is only one way to save it. ”

"What?"

"But before it rolls down, turn the mechanism and lead it into the canal, and when it reaches the waterwheel, the red ball rolls into the water hole, and then changes back to the wooden ball. ”

Chris thought to himself: If I really accidentally hit the ball into Vulcan, wouldn't I turn on a game destruction mode and turn into a big fireball and roll down?

Sure enough, Chang Yutong, the deputy master, also thought so, and he asked: "If in the wooden box game, the fireball entering the city means losing, and it won't really become a fire to the city here, then wouldn't it be a disaster before the exit is found?" As soon as the question was raised, everyone became worried.

"Putting the ball into the Iron Tree takes advantage of the waterway, and now it's the same with putting out fires. Even if it's a fireball, the ball is huge, and the speed of rolling down won't be too fast, as long as we cooperate well, we can introduce it into the waterway of Xicheng, and then send it to the waterwheel. Teng Chuliang's gaze swept over several of the machine operators in Xicheng, and he told them a few more words, turned his head to look at the rest of the people, and said, "There are still two more people at the waterwheel, you ......"

At this time, Ning Yifei took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll come!" Yin Chen also said: "Zhang is willing to go." ”

Teng Chuliang said: "The waterwheel mechanism needs two people to be concentric and rotate at the same speed, not one person is fast and one person is slow, you use a brown flag here, can you remember the flag language?"

The two looked at each other and nodded, tacitly.

Everything was arranged safely, and Teng Chuliang carefully checked it again to see if there was anything missing. In the end, he said to everyone: "The Chu Shi ball game placed in the wooden box is already an extremely complicated game of tact, and at such a scale in front of you, the mechanism must be more difficult to solve, and it is really difficult to predict what trouble will be encountered, and I am not sure if it will run exactly the same as the wooden box game." ”

But if you want to get out of this place, there is only one way to go.

Wang Shu said: "Don't care about that for now, let's try it first." ”

"Yes, yes. Chang Yutong agreed, "Maybe if you're lucky, you can get a door when you try." ”

When everyone was in place in the city, Teng Chuliang gave an order.

Gao Liang'er held the red flag in her hand high above her head and waved it twice.

Red represents the "City Order Hall", Hong Qili saw the signal, sank into the dantian, and pushed the stone handle hard, and heard the sound of the "humming" stone brick friction, and the stone room really turned slowly.
