He thought for a while, what is the Wu family's principle of doing things? In addition to being a good dog breeder, grandpa seems to be famous only for his popularity. It doesn't seem to be a good thing now.
"Okay." Wu Xiaoxie sighed and found a place to sit down, "Xiaojiu Master, what should we do now?"
"Think about it together, mistress." Xie Yuchen patted him and said with a smile, "Use your advantages."
Hearing this long-lost title, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly felt his heart twitch for some reason, and an inexplicable feeling of melancholy spread in his heart.
Perhaps because the two people's brain circuits are similar, he always felt that the smile on Jie Yuchen's face was a bit familiar. It was very similar to the same look on his face after he was forced to accept all the arrangements of his third uncle, which seemed numb and relieved.
Expression.
It is true that both of them are burdened with many similar things. In fact, in the end, you will find that there is nothing forced or unforced, only the helplessness of having no choice.
He might be angry and confused at the beginning, but the further he goes on and the deeper he sinks, the more he can feel that his third uncle's behavior seems to contain many unspeakable secrets.
And starting from Changbai Mountain, and then after the third uncle disappeared in Snake Marsh, Muyu, as his good brother, seemed to have taken over the compass from the third uncle's hand, especially during the trip to Banai some time ago, he could feel
Muyu must have gone through something during the time when he left, and only after returning did he reveal a hint of urgency in his actions.
He could feel the changes in Muyu. When he went to look for the ancient Zhang family building this time, he also knew that Muyu, like his little brother, had a certain purpose.
So when he saw that the only missing wooden fish in the photo was Wu Xiaoxie, he immediately thought that he had done something alone and worried that something had happened to him.
After finding out that it was a false alarm, I breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, it was Muyu who caused the disappearance, and he was no better than the stuffy oil bottle of my little brother.
When the time comes, he will have three uncles and three brothers, Muyu, to look for him together. Thinking about it, he is extremely devastated.
Muyu seems to be easy to get along with, relatively easy-going, and doesn't care about anything in particular. But in fact, what can be seen on the surface is just an illusion. This invisible mask-like illusion is exactly what he wants you to see.
of.
Only those who truly know him will know that it is difficult for this kind of person to warm his heart, let alone take the initiative to accept someone else, because there are really very few things he is willing to care about.
But the strange thing is that from the beginning of getting along, he can feel that Muyu is very good to him, and also to the little brother and the fat man. This kind of goodwill does not seem to be developed over time, but more like the first time they met in junior high school.
The kind that recognizes the other person’s goodness.
Sometimes he would even have some funny whims, wondering if he and Muyu and the others were good brothers in the previous life, and Muyu was reincarnated with memories to look for people.
"No time."
Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but think of this sentence.
This sentence once lingered in his mind like a nightmare, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Muyu seems to know a lot of things, and he seems to want to accomplish something in a hurry.
But he didn't feel helpless like he did when he faced his third uncle, who wanted to break the casserole and ask for the truth, but ended up in vain. He would not embarrass the other party. Perhaps it was because he had experienced so much in these days, Wu Xiaoxie felt that his state of mind was also different.
Some unpredictable changes have occurred.
No matter what they want to guide him to do, he always firmly believes that Uncle San will not harm him, and Muyu will not harm him either.
Something suddenly struck the palm of his hand. Wu Xiaoxie lowered his head and saw that it was a pack of beef jerky.
Xie Yuchen smiled at him, "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed."
Wu Xiaoxie breathed a long sigh of relief, "No, I was just thinking that if we can directly contact Banai with a signal, we can directly ask Mrs. Huo what they did back then..."
The words suddenly stopped, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Wu Xiaoxie's mind, "Wait, signal, photo, yes, it is a photo."
Wu Xiaoxie suddenly became excited and said to Jie Yuchen, who looked slightly confused: "Xiaohua, our initial thinking was wrong
Yes, my grandfather once told me, "When looking at things, you can't just be confused by their appearance, but you have to break away from the inherent thinking."
"As soon as we received the photo, we immediately thought that the things in the photo were the most critical clues to the incident and a reminder to us. But in fact, the photo itself was of little significance because in the past, there was no such thing as taking a photo.
Technical."
Wu Xiaoxie continued: "Because there was no such convenient technology as now, the most the Gu Zhang family could do to convey information was copying or simply relying on memory. However, these methods were ultimately flawed and they could not guarantee the details in the process.
It will not be lost and is very unsafe, which is a paradox to the original intention of setting the key thousands of miles away."
Xie Yuchen nodded thoughtfully, "So, what you want to express is that the meaning that these photos want to convey is not just a simple relief image, but the meaning contained in them should be beyond the picture."
So, what is the meaning beyond this picture?
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Wu Xiaoxie was chewing beef jerky and thinking hard. He suddenly remembered something and immediately went to dig through the treasure box that the wooden fish in his backpack had given him before going to Banai.
He remembered that before leaving, Muyu had jokingly reminded him that if he encounters any bottlenecks in completing the task, just find the note pad at the bottom of the box and take a look. It contains the tips and tricks he left behind to overcome the obstacles.<
/p>
Because the tone of his words was so inappropriate, Wu Xiaoxie thought he was deliberately trying to make fun of her, so he didn't take it to heart.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that Wu Xiaoxie was also a dead horse and a living doctor. After all, Muyu is a member of the Zhang family, and it is perfect to use the thinking of the Zhang family to solve the Zhang family's institutions.
I quickly found the palm-sized white note pad, and when I opened the first page, I saw a cute and cute sketched puppy, with a line of words written on the side, "Puppy Wu kisses you."
Wu Xiaoxie: "Fuck..." His fist became hard.
Continuing to read, the steps in front are all sketched out, such as what to do if you encounter a clay pot with long hair, and even mentioning that there may be problems with the air in the cave. Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but sigh that this guy Muyu is really good.
He knows things like a god.
When he turned to the end, Wu Xiaoxie's hand suddenly stopped because there was a messed up Rubik's Cube drawn on the penultimate piece of paper, and on the last picture, the Rubik's Cube had been violently dismantled.
There is a sentence written below, "Break the confinement, emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly."
Wu Xiaoxie immediately understood what Zhang Zhuxun wanted to express, and immediately turned to look at Jie Yuchen, "Xiaohua, I have... Huh? What are you going to do?"
Jie Yuchen was instructing the men to wash away the blood on the iron plate, but they had already put the pig down and put it aside.
Xie Yuchen packed up the simple equipment without looking back, "I plan to use a barbaric method to break through from the inside. What did you just want to say?"
Wu Xiaoxie thought for a moment and handed the note pad to Jie Yuchen, "Look at this first."
Jie Yuchen finished browsing quickly and was silent for a few seconds. He became suspicious of the identity of the person named Zhang Zhuxun, "Is he really a member of the Zhang family?"
"I knew you would definitely say that." Wu Xiaoxie said clearly, "Of course Muyu is a member of the Zhang family, otherwise do you think Mrs. Huo would be so relieved to let him go to Banai with her? She must have investigated him long ago.
It’s been eight hundred times."
"What you said does make sense." Xie Yuchen chuckled and shook the small book in his hand, "But how do you explain this thing? It's hard for me not to doubt him and the group of people who entered here after the Nine Gates
There is a connection between them."
Wu Xiaoxie immediately denied it, "This is even more impossible."
Seeing that he was so sure, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but feel strange, "You deny it so firmly. Could it be that you have already guessed who those people are?"
Wu Xiaoxie hesitated, "I can probably guess it, but I'm not very sure. I just think that their behavior styles are very similar. Those people are also related to the things I have been pursuing. In short, we have a resolutely hostile relationship with them."
."
Jie Yuchen stared at his face, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Why do you believe him so much? This is really hard for me to understand."
"Of course I believe him." Wu Xiaoxie put the note pad away and returned to the box to put it in. "My third uncle also believes in him."
Xie Yuchen lowered his eyelids. Wu Xiaoxie's behavior of unconditionally trusting people other than himself was very, very stupid in his opinion.
Because his experience over the past ten years has taught him that entrusting trust to others is tantamount to hanging one's head on that person's blade, and betrayal or not is only a matter of that person's thoughts.
So he will never have friends, and others will never be friends with him.
In his view, the relationship of interest and subordination is stronger than any promise.
"Have you not had any brothers who have died in all these years?" Wu Xiaoxie saw something from his expression, and suddenly felt that the experience of such a little flower must have been very painful.
Xie Yuchen's eyes moved slightly and he smiled suddenly, "There are people who have passed away, but they are not brothers."
"If you are like me and stay in this position for a long time, you will find that being alone is good for yourself and others."
Without expectations and trust, there will naturally be no betrayal.
Seeing that Wu Xiaoxie's expression was a bit indescribable, Xie Yuchen patted him comfortingly and said nothing more.
The best way to restore a messed up Rubik's Cube is to cut out the blocks and reorganize them according to your own ideas.
The sacrificial plate without blood has returned to its original appearance, spinning slowly.
The two repacked the self-defense lighting items in their equipment, and then worked together to lift the iron plate, exposing the hole and using iron rods to support it to prevent the mechanism from suddenly starting and falling, trapping the two of them inside.
Wu Xiaoxie saw two safety buttons placed in the box, and knew that since Muyu could guess that there were clay pots from the Queen Mother Kingdom here, that kind of snake was inevitable, so he prepared anti-snake things in advance.
He handed one of them to Xie Yuchen, explained its purpose, and reminded: "In addition to the unknown thing you mentioned, there is probably a snake down here, a snake with a red comb that can imitate human speech." Xie Yuchen waved the safety buckle. He had seen this thing in someone's hand. At that time, he thought it was from a tomb, but it turned out to be from here.
"Don't believe it, when we were in the Snake Swamp, there were groups of pheasants chasing their butts with their necks. If it hadn't been for the protection of these things, we would have been bitten to bloody skewers," Wu Xiaoxie said.
"I got it." Xie Yuchen put away the safety buckle.
Then cut a piece of meat from the dead pig on one side, tie it with a rope, and lower it little by little from the hole.
I have pushed it very deep, but there is no reaction in the hole.
Jie Yuchen was a little confused, but decided to go down and have a look.
Because they were worried about a sneak attack from the tricky thing below, the two of them put an iron plate on their chests and backs as buffers to prevent the thing from suddenly digging out their hearts.
"I'll go down first, wait until I send the safety signal, and then you can follow."
After Xie Yuchen finished speaking, he ducked into the cave entrance.
Wu Xiaoxie lay down at the entrance of the cave, with her heart in her throat, watching the flashlight light quickly go down, and soon it was blocked from view.
Five or six minutes later, light came up from below and flickered twice. Wu Xiaoxie breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his equipment, and got in.
The mechanism bearings at the bottom of the entire iron plate are very complicated, and are connected with countless iron rings and thick chains. It is intricate. Wu Xiaoxie carefully climbed the chains and went down to Xiaohua. Only then did he have time to carefully look at the stone mechanism room here.<
/p>
The lower part of the stone chamber is a water wheel-like thing, which is inserted into the mouth of a well below. The water in the well is turbulent, which is a living water vein in the rock. The water flow drives the gears and chains to the bearings, so the iron plate above will
Endless rotation over the years.
Wu Xiaoxie lit up a cold firework and looked around, but did not see the thing that scratched Xiaohua, but strangely, the piece of bloody pork that was hung first was missing.
Wu Xiaoxie's eyes widened and he immediately looked at Xiaohua.
Xie Yuchen's expression was also very solemn, and he said softly: "The piece of pork is missing. I didn't see it when I came down."
Two people in a stone room
After searching carefully, no trace of pork was found, only a ball of blood staying at their feet.
"That thing must be hidden, it's very fast, we have to be careful." Xie Yuchen said solemnly.
Wu Xiaoxie broke into cold sweat on his back, "What should we do next?"
The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, their situation is too passive.
But now that I have worked hard to get down, there is absolutely no reason to go back. If you want to know the answer, you have to pass this level.
Xie Yuchen pointed to the stone chamber wall on one side with the light of a flashlight. There were three cracks as wide as one person there, from low to high, much like a deliberately narrow corridor. All the chains extending from above were evenly dispersed and merged.
In these three gaps.
The light moved upward, and there were three or four meters high places on the top of the three gaps. There were feldspars hanging with chains. Under the feldspars, there were many pottery pots that they had seen in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West neatly arranged.
