In the spacious stone house, the lights gradually dimmed, and the thin air could no longer bear the breath of so many people.
There were only six people there before, so there was enough air in the huge room, so it wouldn't make it difficult to breathe.
But now there are suddenly three more people. The entrance passage is so big and the air is not circulating. The original air is getting less and less, and the new air cannot keep up. This makes everyone, including Zheng Yao and Liu Yan, blush.
, just like being drunk.
After carefully checking the first wall, there was indeed nothing unusual. Zhengyao and Liu Yan finally gave up with helpless expressions on their faces.
There was nothing at all inside the stone house, except for a few oil lamps and a stone bench in the left corner, there was only a pile of straw, and the walls were surrounded by light.
In fact, the first thing that came to mind was the oil lamps, but Zhengyao tried to touch those oil lamps when he walked to the wall, but no matter how Zhengyao moved, twisted, or even took off the oil lamps, nothing happened.
reaction.
"It's not an oil lamp, there's nothing wrong with this wall, and it's impossible with that pile of straw, so there's only the stone bench and the other three walls!"
Zhengyao murmured, but he was absolutely certain of his judgment.
"Well, let's take a look at that stone bench first. My intuition also tells me that that stone bench may be the key!"
After hearing what Zhengyao said, Liu Yan also followed suit.
In fact, the stone bench is not eye-catching. Because both the color and shape are almost the same as the stone wall. At first glance, it seems that the stone bench cannot be seen clearly. This is why Zhengyao and Liu Yan
The reason why I looked at the wall first and not the stone bench.
Now I hear Liu Yan thinks so too, it seems that they may be inseparable.
"Well, let's go over and take a look!"
Zhengyao didn't want to waste any more time. Even he felt a little hard to breathe now. Time did not wait for us, so he had to find an exit as soon as possible.
After saying that, Zhengyao took the lead and walked to the stone bench in the right corner, followed closely by Liu Yan.
The stone bench is neither big nor high, and is rectangular in shape. At first glance, it looks more like a brick.
The whole body is black and looks very conspicuous.
Zhengyao tried to move the stone bench away with his hands, but when he hugged the stone bench with both hands, he found that he could not move the stone bench at all. It seemed that the stone bench was connected to the ground!
"Does it have to be rotated again?"
Liu Yan said suspiciously. He also tried to imitate Zhengyao and wanted to pick up the stone bench, but he found that it was impossible. Even if he used his internal strength, the stone bench remained motionless!
This couldn't help but remind him of the merit box he had on it before. If it was written by the same person, it should also be rotating.
It's wind, it's rain.
Seeing that he couldn't lift him up, Liu Yan prepared to rotate the stone bench, maybe he could actually open the door to get out.
"etc!"
Just when Liu Yan was about to spin around with the stone bench in his arms, he heard Zhengyao suddenly stop and say.
Zhengyao's move undoubtedly made Liu Yan a little confused, so he said: "What? Did the third brother discover anything else? Isn't it a rotating stone bench?"
You must have a try mentality in everything so that you can have a chance to succeed. Now there is nothing wrong with Liu Yan's idea, but why did Zhengyao tell him to stop? Why didn't he wait until Liu Yan took action?
What about calling a halt?
"Second brother, don't worry!" Zhengyao suddenly became serious and said again: "Second brother, what do you see on the ground?"
As he spoke, Zhengyao stretched out his right hand and pointed to the ground in front of the stone bench leading to the wall.
When Liu Yan saw this, he immediately looked around and saw Liu Yan frowning involuntarily.
"Why are there two shallow scratches here? Although they are not very obvious, they are indeed scratches."
After a while, Liu Yan couldn't help but squat down, touched his chin, looked at the two shallow scratches on the ground, and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, what I'm talking about are these two shallow scratches. I suspect that this stone bench is the mechanism that opens the exit. However, if the stone bench is destroyed or its trajectory is shifted, maybe it will
It will cause some indelible consequences, and then we really won’t be able to get out!”
Zhengyao had a serious look on his face. It was not that Zhengyao was being alarmist, but that this might indeed be the case.
Although Zhengyao has never researched or participated in the production of mechanisms, nor has he seen others personally demonstrate and develop them, he knows that mechanisms are very fragile and cautious. Once any of them are damaged, they will be destroyed.
So just like tarot cards, one bit spoils all.
Once the source of the mechanism is destroyed, there is really no way to save it.
After Liu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but patted his chest and immediately said: "Well, the third brother is right, but I was a little abrupt."
"Actually, it's not that the second brother was rude, it was that we were all rude. Fortunately, we didn't move the stone bench up before, otherwise, our situation might not be what it is now!"
Having said this, Zhengyao felt a little lucky that he was not able to move the stone bench.
"Well, third brother, what do you mean?"
"I think from these two shallow scratches, my second brother must also know what I guessed! Yes, I suspect this is a special mechanism. This stone pier must be pressed against the wall.
Possibly opening the exit!”
As he spoke, Zhengyao couldn't help but point to the opposite wall, pointing directly at the spot where the stone bench was pressed against the wall after the stone bench was pushed past the two shallow scratches!
"Well, I think so too! Well, let's work together to push it over now!"
Liu Yan didn't want to delay any more. If he stayed here for another minute, he would face more dangers. The air would become thinner and thinner, and breathing would become more and more difficult. If this continues, he would be suffocated rather than starved to death!
Zhengyao didn't say anything more. He nodded in response and immediately mobilized his inner strength. Together with Liu Yan, they pushed the stone bench towards the stone wall!
Talking now is a waste of air and energy, so just put your energy into useful places!
"Boom boom boom boom——"
Just like if a train was passing through a tunnel, the rumbling sound of friction suddenly sounded. Yuan Haiyun, Xiaoxi and others who were not far away were confused. At this juncture, how could these two people play with that stone bench?
But they didn't speak, because they also knew that if they spoke more, they would waste more air. This undoubtedly wanted them to face death sooner!
In fact, death is not scary. What is scary is waiting for death to come step by step, the kind of psychological panic, the kind of aggrieved uneasiness. It really makes people anxious and anxious.
"Work harder! It's almost there!"
At this moment, Zheng Yao's face was even redder than before, and the veins on his forehead were already protruding, and he was dripping with sweat, as if he had exhausted all his energy and even exerted all his strength to eat.
"Bang!"
Zhengyao and Liu Yan stopped their hands at the same time. Before the stone bench could move back, they used their internal strength and suddenly exerted force, striking out with their right palms. After a loud noise, the stone bench ran straight towards
The stone wall!
"Gagu——"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The moment the stone bench pressed against the stone wall, just as Zhengyao and Liu Yan had guessed, they heard a noise all around, which was almost deafening in the entire stone house. The sound of chains starting and the sound of stones colliding.
, and the sound of the stone door opening!
"Rumble--"
In an instant, the door to the left in front of Zheng Yao suddenly opened, and a shining gap about two meters wide suddenly appeared. At the same time, a cool breath hit his nostrils.
"Exit! The exit is there!"
Yuan Haiyun was the first to scream excitedly, and his uncontrollable mood was naturally beyond words.
At this time, Zhou Bing, Man'er, Xing'er and others also woke up, and immediately stood up slowly, together with Ning'an, Zhu Luying and the others. You supported me and I supported you, and walked slowly towards Zhengyao.
.
Finally I saw the exit. A burst of fresh air rushed towards me, which immediately lifted my spirits and made me no longer as depressed as before.
"Successful! Everyone, get out of here!"
Zhengyao waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him, while he explored the way first.
After all, the exit has been found, but no one can guarantee that this so-called exit is absolutely safe. For the sake of caution, Zhengyao decided to explore the way personally.
With Zhengyao's caution, if even he suffered a disaster and could not leave safely, then people like Yuan Haiyun and Zhu Luying might not be able to leave safely either.
Therefore, Zhengyao's decision was absolutely correct.
After following him, no one refused. In the eyes of everyone, only Zhengyao was the most thoughtful. There is no doubt about this.
So he nodded without saying anything. Seeing Zhengyao stepping outside the stone gate, everyone followed closely.
Stepping out of the stone gate, Zhengyao and his party entered a passage similar to a tunnel.
However, the passage is not big, and can only accommodate two people walking side by side. The height is not high, only about 1.7 meters. Zheng Yao and Liu Yan had to bow down when walking in it. There will be a light bulb every three or five steps along the way.
The oil lamp is on, probably for guiding purposes.
But Zhengyao was very curious, did these oil lamps always burn like this? If so, it had been at least twenty years, how much oil did they burn? Every once in a while, someone would come to replace the oil lamps or refuel them?
Of course, this is just a digression, Zhengyao can only guess in his heart. Knowing this kind of thing will not do him any good, so it is better not to ask.
After walking about thirty steps, they came to a fork in the road, and everyone couldn't help but stop.
"There are three forks in the road, take the left or the right?"
Yuan Haiyun was walking behind him, his eyes were really sharp, and he immediately put his head over and asked.
"Of course there is no light on the left side, but on the right side there is no light at all? I guess it is a dead end."
Liu Yan said angrily, it was Zhang Cheng who quarreled with Yuan Haiyun in the past, but now it's Liu Yan's turn. Who makes Yuan Haiyun easy to bully?
However, Zhengyao was stunned for a moment, as if hesitating. However, when he heard Ning An say it was cold and hurriedly left, Zhengyao finally gave up and continued thinking, so he resolutely stepped towards the left passage.
Chapter completed!
