Chapter 36: The Giant Bronze Bell
Lin San and Gu Jialan carefully observed their surroundings as they walked.
The further the two walked due east, the fewer animals they encountered, and the figure of the last animal was no longer visible.
"There's no road ahead. Lin San suddenly stopped.
Gu Jialan looked up and saw that the road ahead was blocked by a hill.
A loud "......boom" sound came from behind the hill, shaking the ground slightly.
"What are we going to do? If we want to keep walking, we have to climb over this hill. Lin San looked at Gu Jialan with an inquiring eye.
Gu Jialan pondered for a moment and said, "We have walked so far with great difficulty, and we can't be stopped by a small mountain. On the one hand, Gu Jialan was very curious and wanted to understand the source of the loud noise, and on the other hand, Gu Jialan did not want to be stumped by a small mountain.
Lin San nodded: "Okay, let's go over this hill." After speaking, he led Gu Jialan and began to climb the mountain.
The height of the hill is not very high, but it is very steep and quite laborious to climb.
It took Lin San and Gu Jialan a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain.
"Woo ......" Lin Sanyi sat on the top of the mountain, panting heavily: "I'm tired to death." ”
Gu Jialan was also uncomfortable at this time, her face was covered with sweat, and she sat on the side and kept wiping her sweat.
A ......loud bang suddenly sounded, and the whole hill trembled violently.
Lin San and Gu Jialan were startled, and hurriedly lay on the top of the mountain, reaching out and clutching the protruding stones, stabilizing their bodies and not falling from the top of the mountain.
Soon, the hill stopped trembling and the loud noise disappeared.
Lin San raised his head and looked at Gu Jialan beside him: "Miss Gu, are you okay?"
"Ahem, ahem......" Gu Jialan coughed a few times and shook his head: "I'm fine...... Huh, what is that?" Gu Jialan suddenly stared at the other side of the hill.
"What?" Lin San turned his head and was stunned.
I saw that the opposite side of the hill is a huge stone platform, there are dozens of meters high, the stone platform is very smooth, flat, it is artificially excavated at a glance, there is a huge bronze bell in the center of the stone platform, the big one is simply unbelievable, the appearance of the copper bell is rusty, a look at the age is very old, there are two stone pillars standing opposite the copper bell, there is a black lacquer stick hanging on the stone pillar, there is enough to have a bucket so thick, for the time being, I can't see what material the stick is made of.
"How can there be such a big stone platform and bronze bell here?" Lin San said in disbelief, "Could it be that someone has been to this desert island before?"
"Looking at the rusty appearance of the bronze bell, it should have been around for a long time. Gu Jialan was also very surprised, it was obvious that this stone platform and bronze bell were artificially made, I really didn't expect that someone had been to this desert island before.
"Whirring ......" a gust of wind blew.
The black stick on the stone platform was blown by the wind and quickly crashed into the bronze bell opposite.
"......Boom", the bronze bell made a loud bang.
Lin San and Gu Jia lay on the top of the mountain, holding their ears tightly, and finally they were not deaf to their eardrums.
"It turned out to be the loud sound of this bronze bell. Lin San and the others stopped the loud noise, slowly raised his head, and looked at the bronze bell in surprise.
"How can this bronze bell make such a loud noise? it's amazing!" Gu Jialan's eyes were full of incredulity.
"Regardless of why this bell makes such a loud noise, what we have to do now is to stop the black stick from hitting the bell any longer, otherwise our eardrums will be deafened sooner or later. Lin San took a breath.
"But how are we going to stop it?" asked Gu Garan.
Lin San stretched out his hand and pointed to the two stone pillars on the stone platform: "I'll go over and untie the black stick from the stone pillar." ”
"Ah, you want to go to the top of the stone platform?" Gu Jialan was stunned: "No, this stone platform suddenly appeared on the island, there must be something strange, you rush up so boldly, maybe there will be danger." ”
"I can't care about it so much now, and when a gust of wind blows later, the black stick will hit the bronze bell again. Lin San stood up and looked at Gu Jialan: "Miss Gu, don't worry, I'll be careful, it'll be fine." After that, I wanted to go down the hill.
"Wait!" Gu Jialan suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin San.
Lin San turned back suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Gu Jialan took a breath: "I'll go with you, multiple people, so I can take care of it." ”
"No!" Lin San didn't think about refusing directly: "It's too dangerous." ”
"You've saved me so many times, I can't let you go on an adventure alone. Gu Jialan said firmly.
"Miss Gu, listen to me......" Lin San still wanted to persuade him.
"You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind, let's go, it'll be windy again later." Without waiting for Lin San to speak, Gu Jialan bent down and climbed directly down the hill.
Seeing Gu Jialan so stubborn, Lin San was also a little speechless, sighed, and had no choice but to climb down the mountain with Gu Jialan.
Going down the mountain is much easier than going up, at least it saves a lot of energy.
Ten minutes later, Lin San and Gu Jialan climbed down the hill.
Closer, Lin Sangu Jialan can feel the magnificence and momentum of the stone platform even more.
"It's so beautiful, it's so spectacular, this stone platform is simply perfectly built. Gu Jialan stood next to the stone platform, reaching out to caress the smooth and flat stone wall, and a trace of coolness came from his fingers.
Lin San circled around the stone platform for half a circle, and then found a stone staircase on the west side, and then beckoned Gu Jialan to walk up the stone staircase to the top of the stone platform together.
On the top of the stone platform, Lin San did not hesitate, walked to the two stone pillars in a few steps, and reached out to untie the hanging black stick, but Lin San's hand stopped in mid-air as soon as he stretched out halfway, with a surprised expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" asked Gu Jialan, who walked over to him.
Lin San swallowed his saliva: "I didn't expect that it was an iron chain that tied the black stick." ”
"Huh?" Gu Jialan was stunned for a moment, and looked up, isn't it, there is an arm-thick iron chain tied in the center of the black stick, and the two ends of the iron chain fall on the two iron pillars.
Lin San stretched out his hand and tugged at the iron chain, grinning: "It's very strong, and I can't keep getting it at all." ”
"What then?" said Gu Jialan urgently.
"If only there were tools. "Lin San's words are tantamount to nonsense, where to find tools now?
"Whew......huhu" Another gust of wind blew.
The black stick was blown by the wind and naturally slammed into the bronze bell.
Gu Jialan's face changed: "Not good!" subconsciously retreated, and his hands covered his ears tightly.
Lin San snorted lightly, rushed over and grabbed the black stick, trying to stop the black stick from hitting the bronze bell, Lin San's idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel, the black stick was very heavy, and the appearance was extremely smooth, Lin San used his strength to eat, but he couldn't stop the black stick from hitting the copper bell.
At this time, Gu Jialan ran over, reached out and hugged Lin San's lower back, and pulled back hard.
With the addition of Gu Jialan, the situation has improved a little, and the speed of the black stick hitting the bronze bell has slowed down significantly, but the black stick still does not stop, and the distance between it and the bronze bell is getting closer and closer little by little.
At the moment when the black stick was about to hit the bronze bell, Lin San hurriedly let go of the black stick, reflexively hugged Gu Jialan and rolled to the side, Gu Jialan reached out to cover Lin San's ears, and he shrank his head in Lin San's arms.
"......Boom" The black stick finally hit the bronze bell, but the sound was far less loud than the last few times, it is estimated that Lin San and Gu Jialan were desperately dragging the black stick just now, reducing the force of the black stick's impact, so the sound of the bronze bell was reduced.
After the sound of the bronze bell disappeared, Lin San and Gu Jialan got up from the edge of the stone platform with embarrassed expressions.
"It was so dangerous. Lin San exhaled.
Gu Jialan glanced at Lin San, and suddenly laughed out loud.
Lin San was stunned: "Miss Gu, what are you laughing at?"
Gu Jialan stretched out her finger and pointed at Lin San's face: "Your face is so dark now." ”
Lin San stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of dust from his face: "It must have been on the black stick just now, Miss Gu, you were really brave just now, if it weren't for you, we would definitely be deafened now." ”
"I didn't think much of it at the time, I just wanted to help you. Thinking of what she had done just now, Gu Jialan was also secretly frightened.
"No, we must find a way to get the black stick down, or the next time there is a gust of wind, we will be finished. As Lin San spoke, he walked to the stone pillar and carefully looked at the iron chain on the stone pillar.
"We don't have the tools, we can't break the chains. Gu Jialan walked over and said.
Lin San frowned and thought about it, his eyes lit up: "There is another way to give it a try." ”
"What's the solution?" asked Gu Jialan hurriedly.
Lin San circled around the stone pillar with his hands behind his back and said, "Shorten the distance between the black stick and the bronze bell, so that the black stick can't hit the bronze bell." ”
"Shorten the distance? How to shorten it? You don't plan to move the bronze bell, this bronze bell is so big, at least there are tens of thousands of catties, even if the two of us are tired, it is impossible to move half a minute. Gu Jialan said in surprise.
Lin San smiled: "Miss Gu, who said that I was going to move the bronze bell? ”
"What do you mean?" asked Gu Jialan, confused.
Lin San pointed to the black stick: "Miss Gu, you see, the iron chain wrapped around the black stick is so long, if we wrap the iron chain around the black stick a few more times, then it will be impossible for the black stick to hit the bronze bell again." ”
Gu Jialan's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I expect it, Lin San, you are so smart, the iron chain is shortened, and the black stick will no longer be able to hit the bronze bell, so the bronze bell will no longer make a terrifying loud noise." ”
"Miss Gu, you help me, we have to hurry up, otherwise it will be bad if the wind blows later. Lin San spoke, and walked under the black stick.
Gu Jialan nodded, and stepped forward to help Lin San start to wrap chains around the black stick.
"Whew......Whew" is starting to blow again.
"Grass! How did this wind come from the true evil gate, how did it blow for a while and stop for a while, as if it was controlled by someone. Lin San quickly wrapped the chain around the black stick and scolded loudly.
"The wind is blowing a little strangely. Gu Jialan agrees.
The wind grew stronger, and the black stick began to shake slowly, and it seemed that the black stick was about to strike the bronze bell at any moment.
