Chapter 179: Crossbow Arrows
"The mechanism of this tomb gate is set up to be secret, and it is a matter of course. However, if the mechanism inside is so difficult to find, it will not be reasonable. Yin Kexi said thoughtfully.
Xiao Xiangzi had calmed down at this time, and said: "Brother Yin is right, if everyone is blocked outside in the future, why should we set up any organs? Let's look carefully again, and we will definitely be able to find the mechanism to open the door." ”
So several people crowded in front of the stone gate, pushed and knocked on it, and also groped for a while on the nearby stone wall.
However, the end result was obviously still very frustrating for them.
Xiao Xiangzi was so angry that he slammed the steel rod on the ground and said, "Can't we go back like this?"
Yin Kexi didn't speak, but looked at Shimen thoughtfully.
Xiao Xiangzi's heart moved, and asked, "Brother Yin, what are you thinking?"
Yin Kexi said: "I was thinking, since there is no pull ring and handle on this stone door, then it should obviously be opened by pushing." But we have also tried the method of pushing, but it is also not pushing. ”
Xiao Xiangzi said in his heart: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, ordinary doors are opened by pushing and pulling, but this stone door is controlled by a mechanism, can it be the same?"
Yin Kexi continued: "If you can't pull it, and you can't push it, it must be opened with a mechanism." But there is no trace of a mechanism hidden in this stone gate and the nearby stone wall, so isn't this stone gate activated by a mechanism?"
Xiao Xiangzi said categorically: "It is absolutely impossible! If there is no mechanism on the stone gate, could it be that the little thief Yang passed through the wall?"
Yin Kexi said: "It is naturally impossible for people to penetrate the wall, so this mechanism must also exist. But if it exists, why can't you find it?"
Ma Guangzuo was dazed when he heard it on the side, and shouted: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Is there any mechanism?"
Xiao Xiangzi said: "We can't find it, naturally this mechanism is too hidden." ”
Yin Kexi nodded and said, "We've all thought of this, so we might as well think about it the other way around." Where is this mechanism hidden?"
Xiao Xiangzi couldn't help frowning and thinking when he heard this.
Ma Guangzuo shouted again: "Of course, the invisible place is the most hidden, what is there to think about?"
Yin Kexi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Ma also thought of it?"
Ma Guangzuo's eyes were blank and he said, "What did I think of?"
Yin Kexi couldn't help but be relieved, and said secretly: "But I thought about it too much, so I said how could this guy suddenly become smarter." It turned out that it was just inadvertently wrong. ”
Xiao Xiangzi suddenly understood, his eyes showed joy, and said, "Brother Yin is saying that the mechanism is in the wall?"
Yin Kexi smiled and said, "It's impossible for people to pass through walls, but mechanisms can, and that's the only possibility I can think of." If we still can't find the mechanism, we'll have to go back. ”
Xiao Xiangzi said: "Try it and know." ”
He stood in front of the stone gate again, stretched out a palm and stuck it on the stone door, and the internal force gathered on the palm. With the method of "fighting cattle across the mountain", the strength was beaten out.
There was a muffled sound of "buzz", and the stone gate shook, but nothing unusual happened.
Xiao Xiangzi didn't care, and changed a few places on the stone gate and tried them one by one.
When he hit the fifth palm, a sudden "click" sound reached everyone's ears.
"It worked!" Yin Kexi couldn't help but smile.
The others were also in good spirits and looked at Shimen expectantly.
Xiao Xiangzi took a breath. He stretched out his palm and pushed hard.
With a "squeak", the stone door finally turned quickly. In the blink of an eye, he gave way to reveal a stone chamber.
Ma Guangzuo shouted: "Ha, it's finally open! I'll go in and have a look." ”
He squeezed over and rubbed Xiao Xiangzi aside, and didn't care if there would be any danger inside, so he ran in directly.
Yin Kexi hurriedly took the torch and shone it inside.
"Why is it bare? There's not even a place to sleep!" Ma Guangzuo felt bored after looking around inside. Greatly disappointed.
Xiao Xiangzi saw that there was no danger inside, so he hesitated a little and walked in.
Yin Kexi was about to go in and have a look, but after half inside, he turned around again. He said to Nemo, "Brother Nemo, please wait outside for a while, and if the stone door closes suddenly, you can open it again." ”
When Nemo heard this, he said, "I will not go in, but I will wait for you here." ”
Yin Kexi and Xiao Xiangzi only swept roughly in the stone room, and then they both stayed on the opposite stone wall.
There is the third stone gate.
Xiao Xiangzi snorted coldly and said, "If the ancient tomb is full of these childish mechanisms, then it will be difficult for me to wait." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and wanted to open the stone door with the method he had just done.
This time, however, he tried all over the stone gate, but he couldn't find the hidden mechanism.
"The method has failed?" Xiao Xiangzi was a little stunned.
"There's nothing strange about that, if all the mechanisms are the same way, then the people who designed them would be too unwise," Yin said. ”
Xiao Xiangzi's face was ugly: "Do you want to spend a few more hours looking for the mechanism?"
Yin Kexi sighed, "Besides, what better way can we do?"
The two were about to look for the mechanism, but they heard Ma Guangzuo shouting: "There is a stone here!"
Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi hurriedly turned their heads, but saw Ma Guangzuo squatting in a corner, not knowing what to do.
The two walked over to take a look, and saw that on the flat stone wall, a stone pillar about the size of a cup on the surface suddenly appeared, protruding from the stone wall two or three inches high.
At this time, Ma Guangzuo was holding the stone pillar and pressing and pulling, and when he saw that he couldn't press and pull, he twisted it to the left again.
There was a soft "click" sound from the stone wall.
Ma Guangzuo was very happy and said, "I'll go and push the door." ”
Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi couldn't help but look at each other, and they both secretly thought in their hearts: "Could this be the mechanism that opened the stone gate? Compared to the stone gate just now, it's too simple, right?"
However, before Ma Guangzuo walked in front of the stone gate, there was a sudden sound of screaming in pain in the passage outside, accompanied by the sound of "ding-ding" metal hitting stones.
Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi were shocked, and they were about to run towards the door, but they saw Nemo Star rushing in from outside the door.
"Brother Nemo, what's going on?" asked Yin Kexi.
"There are hidden weapons. Nemo replied.
At this time, Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi had also seen the situation outside, and saw that the four warriors accompanying them had all fallen to the ground at this time, and their bodies were covered with iron arrows about six or seven inches long, and they had obviously lost their lives.
"It's a crossbow arrow!" Xiao Xiangzi's face changed and he said.
"The direction in which this crossbow bolt was fired was really unexpected, it turned out to be from top to bottom. Yin Kexi admired in his heart.
As they spoke, the light in the doorway suddenly dimmed, and a figure fell from the top of the stone door. (To be continued......)
