A mole and I supported each other and ran forward along the underground river bank with unsteady steps.
Behind you, the bells are ringing melodiously.
The water in the underground river surged, and a small whirlpool gradually formed on the surface. Just as a mole said, there was a huge roulette-like mechanism under the water. This underwater roulette drove a bronze chain, and the bronze chain
The gilded head was pulled, and finally the head struck the chime.
I covered my nose vigorously with my hands, but scarlet blood still seeped through the gaps between my fingers and trickled down.
At this moment, a mole suddenly thought of something, and she shouted at me: "Plug your ears! Run back!"
After she yelled these words, she couldn't help but start to pull me back.
After running so far, running back, isn't that to risk death? I couldn't figure out her intention, but she still led her back.
Even though my ears were blocked, the closer I got to the source of the sound, the more painful my eardrums became.
I climbed and ran back to the starting point.
"Throw away...throw away the clock..." A mole's clothes on her chest were mostly wet with her own nosebleeds, and she spoke in a weak voice.
Holding back the pain in my ears, I untied my clothes and threw the chime I was carrying behind me into the underground river.
Almost at the same time.
The sound of the chimes suddenly stopped.
Those gilt skulls hanging on bronze chains lost their source of power and relied on inertia for a few final swings.
The underground river returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before.
A mole and I lay side by side on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Hong...Sister Hong, how did you know we were going back?"
The mole on her face was pale, and the clothes on her chest were already a bright red, so she weakly expressed her guess.
I briefly recalled what she said and felt that it was very possible. Fortunately, she was calm-minded. Otherwise, if we kept running forward with our heads covered, we would definitely not survive.
This underground river is in the shape of a closed long tube. Due to this structure, sound propagates very quickly. We can never outrun the sound. In addition, she has been in the water before. The reason why the chimes can sound depends entirely on the roulette wheel and the water flow.
The reason why the chimes are triggered is because I smashed one down."
Meteoric irons have attraction to each other, which is a gravitational balance. If one is missing, the weight balance will be broken. This is a very sophisticated set of mechanisms. I also secretly guessed that maybe this underground river did not exist more than 2,000 years ago.
, that big turntable may be exposed on the ground.
In the time of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, the Book of Changes had just been written, but Qi Men Dun Jia had already been formed for a long time. Qi Men Dun Jia was born out of Zhou Yi. This view is not correct. Qi Men Dun Jia must have preceded Zhou Yi.
What followed was the Warring States Period. At that time, the Book of Changes had not been popularized at all, but there were already the techniques of political strategists, the genealogy of military strategists, the methods of Quan family, and the institutions of Mohist family, which created Gui Guzi, Sun Bin, and Ying Zheng.
, Yan Ying, Bai Qi and a large number of heroes.
This huge group of head roulette chimes must have the support of the Mohist Mechanism and the Yin-Yang Sect of the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you look at it from another angle, this is the national-level cultural relic mentioned in Yao Yu's door...
It's a pity that we can't take it with us.
If any one of these chimes is taken away, it will trigger the large underwater turntable and endanger the lives of living people.
"Sister Hong, tell me, will we not be able to get out and be trapped in this underground river?" I wiped the nosebleed.
A mole didn't reply.
"Sister Hong?"
"Sister Hong?"
I struggled to get up and took a look, only to see a mole and a frown on her eyebrows. Her face was pale and she had fallen into a coma.
"Sister Hong! Sister Hong! Wake up! Wake up quickly!" I shook her desperately.
A mole was swaying by my upper body, but she remained motionless.
"Drink water, Sister Hong, yes, drink water," I dug out the mineral water from my bag and fed her, but the water couldn't be fed in, and it all flowed away from the corner of her mouth.
I was at a loss and said with red eyes: "Eat, Sister Hong, eat some biscuits quickly."
The biscuits had soaked and turned into a semi-liquid like water. I couldn't feed them either.
A mole is breathing weakly now.
"Let's go, let's go, we must go out, we have to go find the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, let's go!"
I gritted my teeth and struggled to carry a mole.
The flashlight was low on battery and the lighting was much weaker. I was shirtless, bent over and supported her buttocks, and just walked forward along the underground river bank.
Sweat fell down my forehead and into my eyes, which hurt a little.
Stop and go, stop and go, I drank river water when I was thirsty, and ate some soaked biscuits when I was hungry. From the beginning to the end, I never thought about giving up a mole, I wanted to save my partner.
There was no sun or moon here, and I didn't know whether it was day or night outside. I was carrying a mole on my back, my legs were shaking due to coldness and hunger, and I didn't know how long I had been walking. Suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of me.
My legs went weak, but I couldn't hold on and passed out.
...
My body felt a little warm, and I slowly opened my eyes.
Next to my ears, the sound of burning firewood kept ringing, and bursts of fragrance penetrated my nose.
At this moment, suddenly a hairy face came over.
I sat up suddenly and took two steps back.
This scared me, I thought I was encountering a man-eating savage.
"You...who are you!" I asked cautiously after keeping my distance.
He imitated me and said, "You...who are you."
I took two steps back, pointed at him and said, "I asked you who you are and why you are trying to imitate me."
Unexpectedly, he also took two steps back, pointed at me and said, "I asked you who you are and why you are trying to imitate me."
"Damn it," I couldn't help but curse, "Are you a fool?"
The hairy-faced man followed suit and said, "Damn it, are you a fool?"
I was speechless and rushed to see how a mole was doing.
Seeing her appearance, I breathed a sigh of relief. Although the mole on her face was still ugly, her breathing rhythm was obviously smoother than before, which was a sign of improvement.
I took a deep breath and turned to look at this person, "No matter what, thank you. Thank you for saving me and my friend."
He still imitates me in speaking.
I haven't walked out of the underground river yet, and I don't know where this person got the dry firewood. Looking at the sizzling and oily grilled fish on the fire, I subconsciously swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
"Hey, can I have some fish?" I said.
"Hey, can I have some fish?" he said.
This weirdo always imitated my words, so I had an idea and said: "You can eat some, you're welcome."
Sure enough, he imitated me: "You can eat it, you're welcome."
I feel happy, so I won't be polite.
I hadn't eaten anything hot for a day or two, so I immediately started devouring it. I meant a small amount, but in the end I ate a whole grilled fish, leaving only the bones.
"Pfft," after finishing the last bite, I spit out a fish bone and said, "You should eat some too."
I thought he would learn to speak like me this time.
unexpectedly.......
The weird man was in a daze for a while, and then he shook his head vigorously.
I was surprised to find that the look in this man's eyes was a little different now than before. It was indescribable.
He lowered his head and glanced at the fish bones on the ground, then slowly raised his head.
