Zhang Monkey fell all the way to the bottom, and the sound coming up was a bit muffled and deformed, and it was very calm in the middle. After he fell, he was probably searching and observing slowly, and Ma Dad and I waited patiently. After about a few minutes, the bottom was
There was a strange movement, and then came Zhang Houhou's shout.
"Wei...Boss Wei...quickly...come down quickly..."
"Lao Zhang is in trouble!" My heart suddenly tightened. I didn't mean to harm him, but I just wanted to know the real reason why the mechanism was opened. When he encountered an unknown situation down there, I felt a little guilty, and immediately talked to Ma
Dad decided to save Zhang Houhou.
Ma Dad looked down with his little eyes. He definitely didn't want to take risks, but I couldn't watch Zhang Houhou die, so he quickly sorted out some things and thought about it.
"Master Wei, you stay." Ma Dad grabbed me and took away the things in my hand: "I went down to take a look. I walked with Lao Zhang all the way. He really hangs here. I can't bear it.
.”
Ma Dad was a lot more cautious and slid down the iron rope little by little. Zhang Houhou's voice continued, and he seemed very panicked. I wasted no time, and probably when Ma Dad had just reached the bottom, he also panicked and just leaned back.
Neck shouting: "Master Wei! Come down!"
I had been waiting anxiously. When I heard Ma Dad's shout, without any hesitation, I immediately got under the copper plate, grabbed an iron rope, and put on the buckle.
The iron rope was so thick that I could hardly hold it with one hand. I immediately held it in my arms and wrapped my feet around it. The rough iron rope was covered with rust, and the sound it made when it rubbed against my clothes made my teeth itch.
.After sliding down five or six meters, I saw the figures of Madai and Zhang Hou swaying below.
Wow...
At this time, I heard a sound of the chain shaking back and forth, and I was sliding down very fast. Before the sound completely disappeared, I landed at the bottom. As soon as the soles of my feet touched the ground, the scene in front of me immediately shocked me.
They wanted to shrink back like a conditioned reflex. In front of Ma Dad and Zhang Houhou was the patron saint of the sacred mountain tied to an iron chain.
"Boss Wei!" Zhang Houhou saw me coming down and immediately shouted: "Blood! Your blood!"
In my panic, I couldn't even think about how there could be another big snake here. I stretched out my hand and took off the gauze on my forehead. I gritted my teeth and grabbed the bloody scab of the wound, and tore it open with all my strength. The pain made my whole face feel sore.
were torn apart together.
There was blood on my palms, so I swung it forward. The big snake, which was tightly bound by the iron rope, immediately shrank back like an electric shock, and its long and thick body swished through an entrance that was as tall as a person. Zhang
Monkey and Mada retreated behind me, both looking like they were surviving a disaster.
"Only Boss Wei can handle this thing." Zhang Houhou's soul was gone.
As soon as the big snake retreated, my mood became more stable. Then I felt a relatively fresh air blowing towards my face. I was stunned. Is this a living hole?
"Boss Wei, this door opens like this. It's very magical. I only took a quick glance at it, but I can get a rough idea. You'll understand when you come in and take a look." Zhang Houhou looked very relieved when he saw me coming down.
He took us two steps forward, and I immediately saw the source of this fresh air. On my left hand side, there was a rectangular doorway that was as tall as a person but very wide, with some iron ropes and unknown things running along it.
The doorway continued to extend out, and the fresh and moist air floated out from the doorway. Moreover, I also heard the sound of water.
About three meters behind the doorway is a 90-degree corner. Zhang Houhou paused and diligently helped me deal with the wound on my forehead. In fact, he took the opportunity to drain a little blood from me. Then, he held a little bit of my blood.
, took us around the corner.
Behind the corner is a small space that is not too big. This may be the hub of the entire device. There are various gears and some unnamed parts. The hub of the mechanism group that opens the door is actually relatively simple, but it is divided into
Several separate work units were created, and suddenly it looked like a mess and complicated.
In the center of these devices is a small main trigger device, which is very delicately made and is polished from stone. Anyone who makes mechanisms knows that although metal is hard and wear-resistant, it will rust and oxidize over time.
Decay is inevitable, and no matter how sophisticated the mechanism is, it cannot escape the tempering of time and may fail after a few years. Stone, on the other hand, will not decay or rust, and can be preserved longer than metal parts.
The main triggering device is pulled by a ring, and a relatively thin iron cable extends from the ring. At this time, this iron cable has been placed on a small round hole on the side of the main hub room near the underground river.
The sound of water and relatively fresh air came in bursts through the small round hole. This small hole should be able to lead directly to the outside.
In addition, there is a very slender tube that extends from the top into a gear lever.
Seeing all this, and then looking at the iron rope that was dragged outside the small round hole, I immediately understood. This thing seems very difficult to understand from the outside, but when you really peel off the skin and touch the core, you will
I found that it was not out of the ordinary.
The slender tube is obviously connected to the door. It should be a blood collection device. The blood flows from the palm prints inside the door along the tube to the main hub of the agency. The big snake bound by the iron rope will die.
It had to escape, and its only way to escape was through the small round hole.
When the big snake escapes, the iron rope tied to its body is pulled by it, which will transmit the corresponding force and affect the main trigger device. Every component here will start to operate according to the main trigger device, and the door will be opened little by little.
As I speculated, the general outline in my mind gradually became clear. If my guess is correct, the person who designed this device can be called a genius, and his imagination is very rich, so rich that he can create miracles.
But this mechanism has a fatal weakness. All the basic triggering power comes entirely from the big snake. If the big snake is tied here and dies, or breaks away from the iron rope and escapes, the entire mechanism will be ineffective. I was thinking, this kind of
What kind of bullshit patron saint can't really live for 3,600 years?
Thinking about it, I sighed for our good luck and the long life of the big snake. This vital living part has been locked here for who knows how many years. Maybe it will be hung in the stone chamber in a few years.
, when that time came, I drained all the blood in my body and could no longer open the door.
This place is for controlling the mechanism, and has no other use. We climbed back to the ground along the iron rope. I was really convinced. One wound was broken and wrapped, and it was broken. I went back and forth several times. If this continues, Iron Man
I can't even bear it.
We hadn't sat there for long when Zhang Houhou came over with a complacent smile and said, "Boss Wei, you see the second door has opened. Shall we go a little further?"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Dad's eyebrows knitted together: "It seems like the situation is even more difficult. There are more than one of those big long worms. We saw one together, and there's one down here. I can't tell.
There will be Articles 3, 4, and even Articles 8 and 9. Even if Master Wei’s blood can ward off evil spirits, even if he drinks more than 100 kilograms of blood, there will always be times when the blood shines out, so the top priority now is to follow up immediately.
When others meet, there is strength in numbers, Lao Zhang, don’t you think so?”
Zhang Houhou kept instigating us to keep going forward, so we spent so much effort. We were as tired as donkeys and tripped over the winch while lifting rocks. As soon as Ma Dad's words came out, Zhang Houhou was obviously reluctant and began to explain his plan again.
Theory. But I made up my mind this time. No matter what he said, I would not take another step forward until the large team of people gathered. The situation here is too complicated, and unexpected accidents often happen.
Ma Dad and Lao Zhang are not immortals. They can't handle anything when something goes wrong. They run faster than the other. They feel extremely insecure when they are together with these two people.
When I thought of this, I sighed secretly. Only when I am with Mustache can I feel truly safe.
"Old Zhang, leftist adventurous ideas can kill people. If you had this kind of thinking in the past, you would have suffered a lot. People in this industry know that if something goes wrong, you have to save your life first. If your life is gone, why bother?
That’s bullshit, so let’s go back immediately to find other people.”
After saying these words, I didn't care whether Zhang Houhou was happy or not, so I picked up my backpack and walked back, followed closely by Ma Daddy. Zhang Houhou thought for a long time with a frown on his face, knowing that if he was the only one left, he would not be able to do anything.
, so he had no choice but to jog all the way gloomily and follow him.
The three people focused all their attention on the second bronze door. Now that they came out, they felt that they were in trouble again. The compass was intact, but they could not find their way in. No one could explain the reason.
Dad took the compass and led the way for a while, but the surrounding environment was still unfamiliar and confusing. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to brag anymore. He went back to discuss it with us. I said that no matter whether the direction was correct or not, we were sure at the moment.
You went in the wrong direction, otherwise it would be impossible to go back. In this case, you can only try the other three directions in sequence.
Madai extorted a handful of bullets from Zhang Houhou, counted them carefully, and said: "There are still some in stock. If we walk for a while, we will fire two bullets. In a place like this, the sound of gunshots can travel very far. If those bastards listen,
When it arrives, we will definitely respond."
We stopped in place for a while, abandoned the original direction, and chose an opposite direction to walk. Every ten minutes, Ma Dad would fire a blank shot as a distress signal.
This time, the situation seems to have improved. Although we are not sure that we are going the right way, the surrounding environment makes me feel a little familiar. After a break, Ma Dad tilted his shoulders and put his head diagonally upward.
He fired a shot, then blew a plume of smoke from the muzzle of the gun coolly, turned off the safety, and inserted the gun into his waistband: "Open the way."
Ma Dad had fired at least a dozen shots along the way, but less than two minutes after the gunshot, all three of us heard a very vague gunshot at the same time, but we couldn't tell the direction of the gunshot.
