Chapter 37: The Trap
"Huh" Lin San exhaled, stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's finally done." ”
Looking at the black stick that was wrapped in iron chains into zongzi, Gu Jialan said: "This time the black stick can't hit the bronze bell again." ”
"It shouldn't be bad, get out of the way!" Lin San's face suddenly changed, and he reached out and pulled Gu Jialan aside.
A strong wind blew.
The black stick slowly slammed into the bronze bell.
Lin San and Gu Jialan opened their eyes wide, looking at the black stick nervously, and their hearts couldn't help beating faster.
Half a meter away from the bronze bell, the black stick was pulled by the iron chain, no matter how the wind blows, the black stick can no longer move forward for half a minute, and the iron chain is dragged by the black stick, making a "clanging" sound.
"It worked!" Gu Jialan clapped her hands and jumped.
Lin San breathed a sigh of relief, the loud noise emitted by the bronze bell was too torturous, it was simply the world's number one noise.
At this moment, the wind stopped, and the black stick slowly swung back, shaking between the two stone pillars.
Lin San glanced at the black stick: "This is the same as the black stick with a smooth surface, and there is a trace of coolness on it, what kind of material is it made of?"
"It's not iron anyway, if it were iron, it would have rusted a long time ago. Gu Jialan stared at the black stick, and she was also a little puzzled in her heart.
"I guess it's a rare metal. Lin San said with some uncertainty: "It's a pity that this is too heavy with a black stick, and it is chained to the stone pillar, otherwise if it is taken outside, it may be sold for a lot of money." ”
After glancing at Lin San, Gu Jialan said, "You just recognize the money." ”
Lin San smiled and said: "Miss Gu, you are the eldest lady, of course you don't care about money, but I, a poor person, need money very much." ”
Gu Jialan didn't pay attention to Lin San, walked directly to the bronze bell, looked at it a few times, and immediately exclaimed: "This bronze bell has words engraved on it." ”
Lin San hurriedly walked over and glanced at the bronze bell, and sure enough, he saw that the surface of the bronze bell was densely engraved with many words.
"It's so strange that I don't even know any of these words. Gu Jialan said in surprise.
Lin San looked at it carefully, and his brows suddenly furrowed: "These characters are so complicated, they should be ancient characters." ”
"Do you know these words?" asked Gu Jialan.
Lin San shook his head: "I don't know, I don't have much interest in ancient times." ”
"This bronze bell appeared on this desert island, there must be some secret hidden in it, but unfortunately we can't read the words on the bronze bell. Gu Jialan said regretfully.
Lin San suddenly pointed to the back of the bronze bell and said, "What is this?"
Gu Jialan walked over and found that there was a door on the back of the bronze bell, more than one person high, and a lifelike tiger head was engraved on the door, with a big mouth and fangs, looking very vicious, Gu Jialan frowned: "How can there be a door on the bronze bell?"
Lin San groaned for a moment, slowly stretched out his hand, and pushed the door.
"Zila!" There was a muffled sound, and the door on the bronze bell was easily pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew out of the bronze bell.
Lin San looked at the open door in surprise: "It actually opened with a slight push?"
Gu Jialan leaned in front of the door and looked inside the bronze bell, which was so dark that he couldn't see anything.
Lin San leaned over, took out a lighter, lit it, and shone it into the bronze bell.
"There's a hole in there. Gu Jialan suddenly shouted.
At this time, Lin San also found that there was a boxy hole in the middle of the bronze bell, and there was a faint trace of white gas coming out of the hole.
"Lin San, let's go in and have a look. Without waiting for Lin San to answer, Gu Jialan walked directly into the bronze bell.
"Miss Gu" Lin San was startled, and hurriedly chased in and grabbed Gu Jialan's arm: "Miss Gu, there is something strange here, let's go out quickly." ”
"I'm just going to take a look and it'll be fine. Gu Jialan broke free of Lin San's hand, walked to the hole in the middle of the bronze bell, slowly squatted down, and looked into the hole.
Lin San was afraid that something would happen to Gu Jialan, so he hurriedly walked over: "Miss Gu, there is nothing to see in this cave, we"
"Lin San, you take a lighter and take a picture. Gu Jialan said.
Lin San crooked his mouth and brought the lighter to the entrance of the cave.
"Stone steps, is this cave entrance a passage?" was illuminated by a lighter, and a stone staircase sloping downward appeared in the cave entrance, and the stone steps were very long, and there was no end in sight.
Seeing the stone steps in the cave entrance, Lin San was also very surprised: "Where will this cave entrance lead?"
"There won't be any treasure in this cave, right?" said Gu Jialan suddenly.
Lin San smiled: "Miss Gu, you've watched too many TV series." ”
"Isn't it strange that an artificial stone platform and a huge bronze bell suddenly appeared on this desert island, and there is such a passage hidden in the bronze bell?" said Gu Jialan.
"It's very strange, but it can't be said that there is a treasure in the mouth of the cave, who would have enough to eat and hide the treasure on this desert island?" Lin San said disapprovingly.
Gu Jialan licked her dry lips: "Anyway, there must be some secret hidden in this hole"
Lin San stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Jialan's wrist: "Miss Gu, you don't want to go into the cave to have a look, do you?"
Gu Jialan smiled: "I did think so. ”
Lin San was surprised: "Miss Gu, don't mess around, this cave entrance is gloomy, maybe there is some danger inside." ”
Miss Gu clapped her hands and stood up: "I'm joking with you, how can I joke with my life"
"Miss Hugu, don't make this kind of joke in the future, I can't stand it. Lin San reached out and patted his chest.
"Okay, let's stop messing with you, let's get out. Gu Jialan smiled.
Lin San nodded and walked towards the door with Gu Jialan.
That's when the unexpected happened.
"Bang!" the door to the bronze bell suddenly closed by itself.
Lin San and Gu Jialan's faces changed, they quickly ran to the door, stretched out their hands and began to pull the door, but no matter how hard Lin San and Gu Jialan tried, they couldn't open the door on the bronze bell.
"Lin San, what should we do?" Gu Jialan was a little anxious at this time.
Lin San took a breath: "I feel like the two of us have fallen into a trap. ”
"Trap? You mean someone wants to harm us, but there's no one on this desert island?" Gu Jialan was stunned.
Lin San smiled bitterly: "I mean, we were calculated by the people who built this stone platform, and this bronze bell is clearly a trap, and the funny thing is that the two of us who were stupid were automatically caught." ”
Gu Jialan showed a guilty look on her face: "Lin San, I'm sorry, if I hadn't insisted on going inside the bronze bell to have a look, we wouldn't be trapped inside now." ”
Lin San waved his hand: "Now is not the time to hold accountable, let's think about how to get out." ”
"But this bronze bell is only this one door, and now that the door can't be opened, how can we get out?" said Gu Jialan, frowning.
Lin San didn't answer Gu Jialan's question, he just kept groping on the bronze bell, hoping to find a second exit, but in the end, Lin San was disappointed, and there was no other exit from the bronze bell except for the door that came in.
"Lin San, what should I do?" Gu Jialan said urgently.
Lin San held the lighter and kept looking around, and suddenly Lin San was stunned, and his eyes were looking straight in one direction.
Gu Jialan followed Lin San's gaze and saw the square hole on the ground in the middle of the bronze bell, Gu Jialan's mouth opened: "Lin San, you don't want to enter this hole, do you?"
Lin San grinned: "Miss Gu, do you think we have any other way now?"
"But as you just said, there might be some danger in the cave," said Gu Jialan.
Lin San took a breath: "Isn't it dangerous for us to stand here now?" instead of starving to death and dying of thirst, we might as well gamble, maybe there is an exit in the cave." ”
Gu Jialan pondered for a moment and nodded: "You're right, we can only gamble now." ”
"I'm in front, Miss Gu, you're following me. After Lin San finished speaking, he walked into the cave with a lighter.
Gu Jialan followed closely behind Lin San.
As soon as they entered the cave, Lin San and Gu Jialan couldn't help but shudder.
"It's so cold in here. Gu Jialan stretched out her hand and rubbed her arm.
"It's cold. Lin San held a lighter and slowly walked down the stone steps.
The stone steps were very long, beyond the imagination of Lin San and Gu Jialan, and the two of them walked for about half an hour before they came to the end.
Lin San held a lighter and glanced around: "This seems to be a stone room. ”
"There's a door there. Gu Jialan suddenly pointed diagonally to the opposite side and said.
Lin San walked over with a lighter, and sure enough, he saw a tightly closed stone door on the stone wall, Lin San stretched out his hand and pushed it, it was very heavy and couldn't push.
"Can't open it?" asked Gu Jialan.
Lin San handed the lighter to Gu Jialan, took two deep breaths, drank softly, and pushed his hands towards the stone gate.
The stone door trembled twice, but still didn't push it open.
Lin San didn't give up, and pushed a few more hard, but the stone door still didn't open.
Lin San stretched out his hand and wiped the hot sweat on his forehead: "No, this stone door is too heavy to be pushed open at all." ”
"What then?" asked Gu Jialan.
Lin San took a breath: "Go look elsewhere and see if there are any other exits." ”
"Hmm. Gu Jialan nodded and began to wander around the stone chamber.
The area of the stone chamber is not small, it can be more than 30 square meters, and the ground is very smooth.
"There seems to be someone in the corner. Gu Jialan suddenly exclaimed.
Lin San was startled, hurriedly protected Gu Jialan behind him, took the lighter from Gu Jialan's hand, and took a picture in the opposite corner, and sure enough, he saw a figure standing in the corner, because it was far away, and the surrounding area was pitch black, so he couldn't see the face of the figure clearly.
In an underground stone chamber, suddenly seeing a human figure is indeed a bit scary.
Lin San took a breath and shouted at the figure with courage, "Hey, who are you?"
The figure remained motionless and speechless.
"Who the hell are you!" Lin San's tone couldn't help but increase a little.
The figure still didn't react.
At this time, Lin San felt that something was wrong, groaned for a while, raised his feet and walked slowly towards the figure.
"Lin San!" Gu Jialan stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin San: "Don't go over, it's dangerous." ”
Lin San stretched out his hand and patted Gu Jialan's arm, and said softly, "I'll be careful, you wait for me here." With that, he slowly leaned towards the figure.
3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter
The distance between Lin San and the figure became closer and closer, and finally Lin San walked up to the figure.
"Damn!" Lin San suddenly burst into a foul mouth.
