The Desert Lonely City Volume Chapter 12 The Mystery of the Heavenly Gate (Second Update)
Wu Xiao stood on the top, jumped up, climbed the skylight with both hands, and looked out, only to find that it was already the roof of the ancient castle outside. He shouted down www.biquge.info "There's nothing outside the skylight!"
Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's not outside the skylight! I remember that the Tianshan faction worshiped Mingyue back then." The time of the moonrise here is later than that of the Central Plains, about two quarters to about the time of the sea. If you think of the rotunda as a sundial, the sun is due south at noon, but the shadow of the sundial needle points due north. Therefore, the direction from the time of the time to the time of the sea is about the east, that is, the left-hand direction of the head of Wu!"
Wu Xiao turned his head to look, and suddenly shouted: "There is a stone protruding here, I don't know if it is a mechanism button!"
"You try to press it!"
But the protruding stone stood in mid-air, and even if Wu Xiao was good, it would be difficult to reach it. He moved his hands slightly, adjusted his direction, and suddenly kicked out, and threw out a cloth shoe on his foot, which was hitting the stone. The stone was stressed and immediately sank in. Then there was the sound of a mechanism running, and a man-high cave appeared on the opposite wall of the protruding stone.
Everyone sighed without reflection. Su Zhuo nodded and said, "That door should be the Gate of Heaven!" This direction is also the location where the moonlight rises in the east mountain and the moonlight shines through the skylight. It's all right!"
"So, that door is the right direction, what is the use of the other doors, and where is the ground gate?" Wei Xiu said the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Su Zhuo smiled and said: "The eight passages of this ancient castle have penetrated deep into the mountainside, and such a huge project will definitely not be just a harmful mechanism. At that time, the Tianshan faction was very powerful, and these passages must have had their own uses, but now they are all deserted. As for the gates of the earth you mentioned, I think they are the deep pits that people have fallen into. I just don't know where these pits lead......" He thought of the uncertainty of the life and death of the people who fell into the gate, and he was a little gloomy.
On the other side, Wu Xiao had already summoned the doorman and used the same method again to send himself to the stone cave. He dropped the rope and motioned for the group to climb up through it. At this moment, Su Zhuohuamian entered the wind gate, and suddenly a cold wind blew, which made people shiver.
Wei Xiu's face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Listen, there seems to be some sound......"
Everyone was stunned and fell silent. Listen only to the whirring of the wind, which seems to be mixed with the intermittent whining of ghost cries. Everyone had a chill down their spines and two shivers. I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Female ghost! Female ghost! I just said there are female ghosts here......
Teng Gui snorted heavily, trying to calm everyone's minds, but his voice was also a little trembling: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's climb up quickly!" said a handful of grabbing the hemp rope and climbing up first. As the wind grew louder, so did the ghost's cry.
At this time, everyone scrambled to get up and rushed to climb up. Su Zhuo stood in place, seemingly a little distracted, not knowing what he was thinking. Wei Xiu was a little frightened, grabbed Su Zhuo's arm tightly, and asked, "Why are you in a daze? Don't you get out of here soon!"
Su Zhuo came back to his senses and said to himself: "This voice seems to be somewhat familiar...... but he is not allowed to think about it at this time. Almost all of them were already climbing up with ropes clutched. Su Zhuo grabbed Wei Xiu's waist with one hand, grabbed the rope with the other, and followed closely.
Wei Xiu hugged Su Zhuo tightly, his heart was pounding, and his face was hot. In this dangerous situation, there was such a charming time, Wei Xiu only felt dizzy, and he was a little confused. Su Zhuo didn't have so much thought, and it was really laborious to take one person. Finally went up to the entrance of the cave safely, and Hua Mian, who was standing outside, hurriedly reached out to help Wei Xiu, and naturally noticed Wei Xiu's embarrassment, and his eyes stared at Su Xiu's face.
Su Zhuo was a little strange, and Wei Xiu's face was flushed. When I entered the so-called Heavenly Gate, I found that this stone cave was not too deep, and I could see a bright light in front of me from a distance, which should be the exit of the passage. However, everyone stood at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Su Zhuo to leave first.
Su Zhuo was helpless, took Wei Xiu's hand, and the two walked side by side in the front. However, there was no mechanism in this passage, and after walking for a while, it suddenly opened up. It turned out that the exit of the passage had actually passed through the mountain peak, and it was on a huge platform between the two peaks. The platform is boxy, polished flat, criss-crossed by it, and it is actually a huge chessboard. There were many huge boulders scattered around the chessboard, each weighing a thousand pounds. The sunspots are polished with black rock, and the white characters are polished with marble. Such a huge chessboard and chess pieces, everyone saw it for the first time in their lives, and they couldn't help but exclaim.
Standing on the chessboard, the mountain wind howled, blowing people's teeth trembling. Su Zhuo suddenly understood: "It turns out that the wind in the wind gate is the mountain wind in the mountains. By controlling the size of the air inlet through the mechanism, you can control the wind speed!" Thinking about this, I can't help but be even more amazed by the ingenuity of the builders.
The group continued to walk, and at the other end of the platform there was a passage that stretched into the mountain. However, when I got here, I seemed to have entered the dwelling in the stone castle. I saw that on both sides of the passage were stone rooms, and there were knobs for opening doors at the door, which were easy to find, and I didn't encounter any traps. Everyone's emboldening was growing again.
Teng Gui said loudly: "Everyone is looking for it separately, the treasure must be in these rooms!" After speaking, he held Mu Zixuan's hand and entered a stone room, as if he was afraid that he would find the treasure alone and swallow it alone.
Naturally, the others are not far behind, maybe they are lucky, they can find the legendary treasure first, and the best thing can be hidden quietly...... Everyone has a ghost in their hearts and acts separately. In an instant, only Su Zhuo and Wei Xiu were left on the passage.
Su Zhuo didn't care about any treasure at all, and smiled at Wei Xiu. Suddenly, both of them noticed at the same time that their hands were still tightly clasped together. The two were a little reluctant to part for a while. There was a lot of noise in the passage, and the two simply held hands and walked to the sheltered place at the entrance of the cave and sat down. The sun was obscured by the distant mountains, and the sky gradually darkened.
Su Zhuo pointed to the chess table and said, "I don't know what kind of person it is, I have the courage to play this game of chess!"
Wei Xiu smiled: "I'm afraid that playing this game of chess will take a lifetime of effort." These chess pieces are a thousand pounds, and if you want to move them, you have to put a lot of effort into them!"
"Although we can't move this chess piece, we can evaluate this game of broken chess!" Su Zhuo looked at the chess game. The two of them can't see the whole game, they can only get a glimpse of the corner.
"Since Brother Su has this Yaxing, the little sister should accompany her!" Both of them are extremely smart people in the world, peeking into a corner and knowing the overall situation, pointing out the situation, Yixing flies, and does not realize that the moon is hanging high, and the stars are bright and twinkling. In the end, Su Shuwei Xiu couldn't argue whether Heizi won or Bai Zisheng, but they all felt happy, as if they were the two of them who played this amazing chess game back then.
"I really want to play this game like this, even if it takes a lifetime......" Wei Xiu sighed. (To be continued.) )
