The sudden vibration of the floor startled me, and I said in a daze, "Could it be that the mandrill just stamped the floor?"
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment, stared at the square entrance of the cave and said, "It seems there is a bigger mandrill down here. We don't want to mess with it, so we should seal the entrance of the cave."
When I heard it, I immediately agreed.
Right next to the opening, there was a square floor tile nearly two feet long. Judging from its size, it seemed to be just enough to seal the opening, so I hurried forward and took the floor tile.
When I picked it up, what I didn't expect was that this floor tile was really not that heavy. It might have weighed fifty or sixty pounds. It was much heavier than I thought. I didn't know what material it was made of.
I struggled to cover the open hole with this floor tile, and it fit just right. It seemed that this floor tile was originally supposed to cover the hole.
Wen Qingshan was worried that it would be difficult to stop the ferocious mandrills just by doing this, so he suggested dragging the bodies of the mandrills over and pressing them on the floor tiles.
This was a good idea, so we got busy. Others didn't know what we were doing. Ouyang Yi asked: "Mr. Wen, Brother Shi Yu, what are you two doing?"
Wen Qingshan replied: "We found a cave entrance. The mandrill should have come out of this cave. We must seal the cave completely now."
When Ouyang Yi heard this, he immediately asked Weizi to come over and help. The three of us worked hard and finally piled all the six mandrill corpses on the floor tiles above the entrance of the cave. In this way, almost three mandrills were piled at the entrance of the cave.
With an object weighing four hundred kilograms, even if a mandrill came looking for it again, it would not be that easy to rush out of the hole.
After sealing the entrance to the cave, I felt a little relieved. However, this ghost place is not a place to stay for a long time. It is more reliable to find the mechanism as soon as possible and open the stone door to leave here.
Wen Qingshan and I quickly walked to the stone door at the other end of the tomb and started groping around the stone door.
However, after searching for a long time, we couldn't find even a loose wall tile, let alone a mechanism.
I muttered in confusion: "Why is there no mechanism? Isn't it possible to open this stone door?"
Wen Qingshan said with certainty: "It can definitely be opened, but the mechanism to open the stone door is relatively hidden and not easy to find."
I turned around and took a look. On the other side of the tomb, Ouyang Yi and Long Yi were still groping. It seemed that they hadn't noticed anything.
I was wondering where the mechanism to open the stone door would be hidden, and suddenly I discovered that there were some patterns carved on top of the stone door, and in the center of these patterns, there was a stone beast carved in it. The appearance of this stone beast was the same as what we saw outside.
The animal head carved on the stone door is almost the same.
I couldn't help being slightly startled, and immediately raised my hand and said to Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, look over there, there is a stone beast!"
Wen Qingshan raised his head, stared at the stone beast for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Is the mechanism that opens the stone door hidden in that force?"
"Would you like to go up and take a look?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! You squat down and pick me up, and I'll see what's going on!"
Without saying anything, I immediately took off my satchel and squatted down facing the stone gate. Wen Qingshan sat on my shoulders. I slowly stood up and lifted him up.
The stone gate is almost two meters high. Fortunately, neither of us are short. Wen Qingshan rode on my shoulders and straightened his hands, so we could just reach it.
He groped on it for a long time, suddenly discovered something, and shouted in a low voice: "There is indeed a mystery up here!"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately said: "Is this the mechanism that opens the stone gate? Boss Wen, please try and see if you can open the stone gate!" Wen Qingshan is quite big, and riding on my shoulders for so long made my shoulders hurt.
If it doesn't work, I feel like I can't bear it anymore, so I just want him to hurry up.
However, Wen Qingshan did not take action, but said: "You put me down first and then talk!"
I quickly put him down, moved my shoulders, and looked up at the top of the stone door. Only then did I realize that the big mouth of the stone beast had been opened, and there seemed to be something in its mouth.
Kind of like a gossip.
Because of the angle, I couldn’t see very clearly, so I asked: “Boss Wen, what’s in the mouth of that stone beast?”
"It's a Bagua pattern, and there's also a pointer that seems to be able to rotate!" When Wen Qingshan said this, he turned to the others and shouted: "Come over and have a look!"
Ouyang Yi and others immediately gathered around.
"What's wrong? Have you discovered anything?" Ouyang Yi asked impatiently as he approached.
Wen Qingshan pointed his hand to the top of the stone door and said, "There seems to be a mechanism above it."
"What kind of agency is it?" Ouyang Yi asked.
"There is a gossip in the mouth of that stone beast, and there is also a pointer that seems to be moveable."
"Then have you tried dialing it?"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Wen can only be regarded as a layman when it comes to the Yin and Yang Bagua. Wen does not dare to act rashly with the mechanism set up by the Bagua."
Ouyang Yi immediately turned to Long Yi and said: "Long Yi, go up and have a look!"
Long nodded, and without saying a word, he immediately took off the backpack on his back and started rummaging around in it. I didn't know what he was looking for, but I felt that someone would definitely have to pick him up later, so I hurriedly
Said: "My shoulder hurts terribly. Let's find someone else to take care of it later."
Long Yi laughed and said, "No need, I'll go up myself!"
"How do you go up by yourself?" I was a little confused. Although the stone door is only more than two meters high, there is no ladder after all. How can ordinary people climb up? Could it be that this guy can crawl on the wall like a gecko?
Just when I was wondering, Long Yi took out a rope gun from his satchel, and I suddenly understood. It turned out that he wanted to use the rope gun to fix the rope, and then climb up along the rope.
If I had known he had brought this high-end gadget, I should have called them over earlier, and my shoulders would not have suffered.
Long Yi raised his head to take a look, and pointed the rope gun at the ceiling of the tomb. As he pulled the trigger, there was no muffled sound, and a climbing rope was firmly fixed on the ceiling, and the rope hung down.
, just right next to the stone beast.
Long Yi climbed along the rope to the stone beast's position, fixed his body, and examined it carefully.
After watching for a while, he lowered his head and said to all of us: "Mr. Wen is right. This pointer should indeed be able to rotate. There are eight hexagrams in the Bagua. This mechanism must also have eight options. But if you want to open the stone door, I'm afraid
Only one choice is right."
After listening to what Long Yi said, Ouyang Yi raised his head and glanced at the Sunda hexagram pattern engraved on the ceiling of the tomb chamber, and said as if talking to himself: "Among the eight choices, will the pointer be set to the Sunda hexagram?"
location?"
Long Yi, who fell in mid-air, immediately agreed and said, "That's exactly what I think. How about I give it a try?"
Ouyang Yi turned to Wen Qingshan and asked: "Mr. Wen, what do you think?"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "As I said just now, I am not good at the Yin and Yang Bagua, but I think it is not that simple. Because there is a Sunda Gua pattern in the tomb itself, I am afraid that most people
The first thing I think of is setting the pointer to the Xun hexagram."
After listening to what Wen Qingshan said, Ouyang Yi pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Wen's words are quite reasonable, but this is indeed the most likely possibility. Let's give it a try!" At this point, he admired
The head said to Long Yi: "Let's do it!"
Long nodded, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and began to move the pointer on the Bagua clockwise.
As the pointer was moved, there was a "click" sound, and every time this sound sounded, my heart jumped a little. I didn't know whether the stone door was being opened or whether a sharp weapon would be shot out from a certain direction.
Things like hidden arrows and weapons.
After three clicks, Long Yi stopped, lowered his head and said to everyone: "It has been transferred to the Xun position!"
We all immediately focused our attention on the stone door. After waiting for a while, there was a sound of a mechanism starting from inside the wall.
Just when we thought the stone door in front of us was about to open, we heard a "swish" sound, and many sharp arrows were shot from the walls on both sides. Because the distance was too close and there were so many arrows shot, we
There was no time to dodge. In panic, everyone hurriedly waved their weapons in random directions.
Despite this, everyone was still shot with several arrows. Fortunately, everyone was fully armed. The sharp arrows could not penetrate the body armor, but they still felt a pain when they were shot on the body.
After a barrage of arrows were fired, everyone looked a little embarrassed because their arms were unprotected. Weizi was hit by an arrow in his arm, but it was only a scratch and did not hurt the muscles and bones. There was even an arrow on my body armor.
, but there is no penetrating arrow.
Most of them were tangled up in bulletproof fibers. I pulled out the arrow. It was only about a foot long. I weighed it in my hand and found it was a bit heavy. When I looked carefully, I found that the entire arrow was made of bulletproof fibers.
It's made of steel, but it's already stained with rust.
Wen Qingshan also picked up an arrow, looked at it, and said, "This is a crossbow arrow! This kind of crossbow arrow is extremely powerful and can penetrate metal armor at close range. Fortunately, this body armor is quite thick."
Chen Biao said coldly: "This is the latest type of body armor. It can block AK47 gunfire within fifty meters. This crossbow can reach this level, which is already quite powerful."
I couldn't help but sigh: "This is too cruel. If we hadn't been wearing bulletproof vests, we would have been shot into honeycombs!"
Because he had triggered the mechanism, Long Yi did not dare to move the pointer rashly anymore. Ouyang Yi also felt very puzzled. He murmured: "How can it not be the Xun position?"
At this time, Wen Qingshan said from the side: "I think this pointer may be just a trap."
