"Don't worry, I won't let you die." I smiled and whispered in Xizi's ear.
"Ah~ you bastard!" Xizi yelled angrily, started crying, and cursed feebly: "Qian Long, you shameless bastard, you shameless gangster, I'm going to kill you, I
Do you want..." I didn't bother to listen to her muttering and directly stopped her to step back. Xizi was already frightened and was very compliant at the moment, but she was still crying and cursing.
"Stay back, everyone!" The elder known as Fourth Uncle hurriedly yelled at everyone.
Finally, I stopped Xizi, Dazhuang and the others to meet up. The pain all over my body caused by the previous injury to Erhuzi had also eased a bit, and there was no longer that painful and painful feeling at the top of the dock.
Everyone retreated to the stone gate, and I hurriedly stopped Xizi and walked over: "Miss Xizi, I need to trouble you to help open the stone gate."
"Don't open it!" Xizi tilted his head and said.
I frowned and told the truth, I really didn’t want to hurt her. It would be difficult to do something without being forced to do that. I sighed heavily and whispered: "Xizi, I really don’t want to."
Hurt you, I like you to consider my situation, don't force me! I believe that many people want to see your body under your clothes."
"You—" Xizi was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she had no energy to even curse at me.
"If you want to scold me, wait until you open the stone door and I will listen to your scolding. How about that? Open the stone door now!" I pushed Xizi to the mechanism made of wooden sticks.
Although Xizi was extremely reluctant, she gritted her teeth and pressed the switch on the stone door. With a roar, the stone door finally opened slowly: "Can you let me go now?"
"I'm sorry, we don't want to be buried in the mechanism inside. We have to trouble you to take us out. I will naturally let you go then." As I said this, I pushed Xizi into the stone gate first. Everyone just entered the stone gate.
There was a roar from behind, and the stone door closed automatically!
"I haven't been in there either, so I have no idea what's inside?" Xizi said anxiously, slightly wrinkled nose.
I smiled: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, you will be of some use after all!"
The inside of Shimen seems to be a natural cave. The tunnel is very narrow, and there are scattered stalactites hanging on the top. I never expected that in the Qinling Mountains in the northwest, you can still see some features of the Kashgar topography. The road inside the cave is rugged, but you can
It can be seen that it has been repaired by humans, and there is a flat stepping stone less than half a meter away. Da Zhuang walked at the end, and his restraint was almost healed now. As he walked, he muttered: "Old Qian, ask her about this
What’s going on inside?”
After entering the cave, I wasn't worried that Xizi would run away, but I was worried that she would suddenly activate some mechanism to harm us, so I didn't dare to let go of her. I just held her arm tightly with one hand. But as soon as I let go
When she was fighting, she didn't believe that she had punched her. Although it wasn't very hard, she still felt stuffy in her heart.
"What is this place for?" I asked.
"I don't know!" Xizi was very reluctant to talk to me, but then he was afraid of offending me, and then said: "I have never been here myself. I only heard that a long time ago, some very powerful elders of our Qin family
Zu came here before he died, but never came out again. There has been no news since."
The few people said nothing more and walked less than two hundred meters along the cave. A small space appeared in front of them, about forty or fifty square meters. The whole space was very primitive, without any repairs, just for storage.
There are two huge rocks, each with a pit carved into it, which is big enough for an adult to lie in. From the outside, it looks a bit like a household bathtub.
Shui Yueqing murmured: "What is this for?"
"Looking at the shape and size, it looks like a bathtub. Is it for bathing?" Zuo Yan said while touching the stone.
Da Zhuang chuckled: "Don't be ridiculous, their ancestors are crazy, why would they come all the way here to take a bath? However, it does look like a bathtub!"
"Your ancestor is crazy!" Xizi was not a master who suffered losses, so he immediately scolded Da Zhuang without fear.
"This should be the bathtub." Zhang Yuelu said suddenly: "If I guessed correctly, there should be an altar in front of it like the one in Pan Geng's tomb."
Long Xiaoxu looked at Zhang Yuelu, his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, and then said: "Let's go ahead and have a look."
After passing this small space, another stone door soon appeared in front of it. There was also a mechanism next to the stone door. I smiled at Xizi and said: "Well, I was right, bringing you here will definitely be beneficial. Let's open it.
!”
"I've never seen this mechanism before." Xizi stared at the wooden stakes above and shook his head slightly.
"Xiao Chuan, have you seen her?" I pulled Xiao Chuan over and asked. I don't know why this little girl has been talking a lot less since she came to this mountain col. She usually chatters non-stop. During this time,
But he just followed Shui Yueqing quietly.
Xiaochuan hurried over and floated to the machine for a while, his cerebellum shaking like a rattle: "Uncle, I haven't seen it either."
Looking at the small wooden sticks stuck on it, I couldn't help but said anxiously: "Damn it, I've bowed ninety-nine times, all I have to do is tremble! What should I do now?" I looked at the mechanism again.
, there are a total of nine rows and nine columns of small wooden sticks inserted in it. Even if you know that you need to fill in nine squares, it is impossible to fill in so many in a short while, not to mention that this mechanism is very likely not to follow this pattern. I saw Xizi open outside before.
When the stone gate was built, it did not follow the rules of the nine-square grid.
Da Zhuang walked forward, touched his chin and studied for a while. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly said: "With so many roots, we definitely can't handle it. Let's think of other ways!"
Xiao Chuan floated in front of the door and turned around and said, "Uncle, I can go in."
"Really? Well, Xiaochuan, go in and see what's inside, and be sure to pay attention to safety." I said with great joy.
Long Xiaoxu and Shui Yueqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked with some worry: "Can Xiaochuan survive alone? What should I do if I encounter danger?"
Looking at the back of Xiao Chuan leaving, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, but there was really no way. If I couldn't get in, I could only go back, and all the previous efforts would have been in vain: "Xiao Chuan just went in to take a look, it should be fine.
Problem, you two don’t have to worry about it.”
Xiao Chuan floated at the door for a while, and then slowly disappeared, leaving all the adults waiting anxiously outside. Fortunately, it didn't take long before Xiao Chuan floated out from inside: "Uncle, inside
There is a big, round stand, and there is a big character written on the wall. I have seen it before, but I don’t know what it is called. It says like this." Xiaochuan said, floating in front of me,
She wrote a word in the palm of her hand. I didn’t recognize it at first. When she wrote it for the second time, I suddenly recognized it. It turned out to be the word "仙"!
"Uncle, I can see the exit, but it's still scary there!" Xiao Chuan continued.
"Scary!? Why is it scary?" Xiaochuan's words made me feel a little confused. The exit is connected to the outside world. Since it is the outside world, how can it be scary? Is this the wrong exit?
Xiaochuan shook his head, grinned, took a breath, and said with wide eyes, "I don't know, I'm just scared."
I hurriedly told everyone what Xiaochuan had seen. Xizi thought for a while and suddenly said: "I think I know how to open it, but there may only be one chance. Once it fails, our lives may be in danger."
I have experienced the danger Xizi mentioned before, and I feel scared when I think about it. But it shouldn't be that dangerous here, at least it is still a natural cave, and I don't see anyone tampering with it.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look." I put one hand on the stone door and opened my eyes. I don't know why this time it was completely white, like a heavy fog, and I couldn't see anything: "It's strange.
,Why can’t I see anything this time?”
Zuo Yan was startled and asked hurriedly: "Are our lives in danger?"
Zhang Yuelu said with a solemn expression: "Open it, there is no other way. There should be no mechanism here."
I glanced at Xizi, nodded and said, "Don't worry."
"Oh!" Xizi's big eyes rolled darkly, and then he turned around and walked towards those small wooden sticks. He stretched out his fingers and made some gestures on them, and then carefully pressed them dozens of times. I suddenly discovered that Xizi pressed them.
It turned out to be the word "immortal"! As the last wooden stick was pressed, the stone door made a muffled "bang" and then rose upwards.
"It's open!" "Great, great!" "We are finally out!" "God help me!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and then entered the stone gate. As Xiaochuan and Zhang Yuelu said, what was locked inside turned out to be another altar!
"What's going on?" Shui Yueqing asked in confusion: "Isn't it just an altar? Why should it be so closely protected?"
"There must be something fishy in this altar!" Da Zhuang climbed onto the altar and looked around, but couldn't find anything interesting.
I raised my head and looked at the rock wall in front of me. Sure enough, there was a big word "Xian" written on it. There were many star maps painted on the rock walls in other places! Except that there were no handwritings left by ancient sages, this place was simply Pan Geng Ancient.
A replica of the secret room in the tomb! I looked at the starry sky map carefully, and I actually saw the Big Dipper and the Orion constellation!
"You should know what's going on, right?" I turned to look at Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at me, but said nothing. He turned around and continued to stare at the star maps, looking at them extremely seriously, as if he was reading a code. Shui Yueqing still took pictures of all the star maps on the wall and looked at them.
I glanced at Zhang Yuelu, then looked at me again and said, "When you get back, compare the two star maps, and you may be able to find some clues."
I nodded and climbed onto the stone platform. There was also a hole in the center of the stone platform: "What is this small hole for?"
