Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow) - Chapter 307

After the seven living corpses were broken, Ji Shu and others finally stood in a special tomb room.

To say that this place is a “burial chamber” is not always true.

Because it is just a rectangular space slightly wider than the outer corridor.

And this tomb was different from all the places they had encountered before because it was full of wooden piles.

“Did you see that door?”

Master Mingjun raised his fat paw and pointed forward, “If my speculation is correct, then the person behind the door is the person who the donor is looking for has died.”

Irina also lit the incense with less than two centimeters left, and asked the invisible wind elves in the tomb for the last time, and got the same answer.

Hearing that the thing he was looking for was behind the door, Ji Yu took a sigh of relief, and the second young master of the Dong family next to him rubbed his hands with excitement.

However, they turned to excitement. Now everyone has to solve a problem first, and that is how to open the door in front of them.

Yes, they are in a very strange room now.

It is only about six square meters. In addition to the entrance where Ji Shu and others come in, there is a square door on the other end that is almost half a wall.

It’s just that the door is closed, and the stone used as the door panel is very thick at first glance, which is the same as the broken dragon stone I have seen before.

Mo said that the explosives Ji Tuan brought had been used up, and even if there were still, he would not be foolish enough to detonate explosives in a sealed tunnel unless they wanted to try to end up in this “world” by being buried alive. In the adventure.

Fortunately, the fat monk said, this stone door does not need to be broken through with brute force, it is a mechanism in itself.

Indeed, the left and right walls of this small room, as well as the ceiling, are covered with wood piles of varying lengths and thickness.

There are hundreds of stakes, almost filling up most of the space in the room, so that the five living people of Ji Xiaoniao can only stand close to the wall beside the entrance, and the three zombies are even more due to lack of space. , Can only stay in the hallway outside the door.

If I have to describe it, Ji Yu thinks that the dense wooden piles in the room are a bit like the plum piles he has seen in the training ground of “Peach Blossom Spring” to practice balance and reaction ability, but their structure is obviously more complicated. When I looked up to the roof, I felt dazzled.

“Hey, you don’t know this anymore!”

Master Mingjun slapped his thigh and began to show off his knowledge.

“This is called the’Luoshu pile’, and it is recorded in the “Yi Shu Hou Yin Tu. The Thirty-third of the Five Elements” Only when the books match, the key to this room can be opened…”

Ji Lu: “???”

After the first sentence, he couldn’t understand what the fat monk was saying at all.

Ji Xiaoniao is crazy in his heart. You are a monk who doesn’t study Buddhism, but you are crazy to show the Taoist classics here. Don’t you think there is something wrong?

But the second youngster of the Dong family, who has always been impatient, couldn’t listen anymore. He lifted his leg and flew a kick to follow Master Mingjun’s buttocks:

“Stop talking nonsense!”

He murmured and said:

“Certainly, to a quasi-xiner-can you open this thing!?”

The fat monk nodded first, then shook his head, “I know how to drive.”

He said:

“But I can’t drive it.”

Dong Jing raised his eyebrows:

“why?”

“Because I really can’t.”

He raised his hand and pointed at the dense wooden stakes on the ceiling:

“To open this mechanism, someone must climb on top and set these wooden stakes one by one to the correct position. If one is mistaken, it may cause extremely serious consequences…”

With that said, Master Mingjun patted his stomach, and everyone saw his tattered khaki, a circle of fat rippling out of layers of ripples like ripples.

“Look, my figure…”

He wanted to speak and then stopped, scratching his fleshy chin awkwardly, and lowered his head with droopy eyebrows.

Ji Shu: “…”

Indeed, for the size of this master Mingjun, let’s not say whether he can climb to such a high place. Even if he stretches out his fat arms, which are as thick as the thighs of others, they may have moved the stake next to him. It’s too much. It’s dangerous.

“All right, I’ll do it.”

Ji Xiaoniao sighed and pointed to himself:

“Master, please direct below and tell me what to do.”

The fat monk still shook his head, “You are not enough alone.”

As he said, his eyes went back and forth on Dong’s Second Young Master and Ren Dameiren’er twice:

“Because there must be two people who move the corresponding stakes together in two directions.”

The second young master of the Dong family wanted to volunteer, but although he had martial arts skills, his level was only a little better than the three-legged cat. He really wanted him to climb two meters above the ground and play with such a detailed wooden pile array. … He really doesn’t have that certainty.

So the only choice was Ren Jianmo.

Ren Dameiren did not waste time.

He quickly rolled a long hair in his hand twice, then fixed it behind his head with a wooden hairpin, and stood under the wall on the left hand side.

Ji Shu stood tacitly to the right.

Under the guidance of Monk Mingjun, the two of them stepped on the wooden stakes protruding from the wall that were thinner than the female wrists, like two flexible apes, crawling for more than two meters until they reached out. The dense circle of wooden piles on the ceiling came to a halt.

The fat monk urged Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo to operate together. At the same time, he recalled in his heart the relevant content that he had seen in “Yi Shu Hook Hidden Figure. The Five Elements 33”, command The two found the correct wooden stake and pushed forward together.

The wooden stake in Ji Shu’s hand is only the thickness of the fingers, but when he pushes it, he feels that the touch under his hand is quite heavy.

He took a closer look and found that it was not a simple wooden stake, but a wooden coat over the iron bar, which was like a modern electric wire, with a double-layer sandwich structure.

–I see!

Ji Yu said secretly in his heart.

Iron products will rust without maintenance, but wood products are too brittle and perishable. Both of them are not long-lasting materials that can be used as organs in the tomb.

Therefore, the designers of the imperial tombs combined the two and used wood to wrap the iron rod very geniusly, so that the machine can still be used normally after a thousand years.

——It is indeed a very clever design.

–only……

Ji Xiaoniao frowned slightly again.

He thought of a question.

This is clearly a tomb, a resting place for the dead, and a place where there is no going in or out. In that case, why should such a sophisticated door opening and closing mechanism be set up in a place where people were not originally intended to go out?

“It’s impossible… the dead emperor thinks that he can be resurrected in the future, so leave an entrance for his army, right?”

Ji Xiaoniao murmured in a low voice.

After Ji Xuan and Ren Jianmo moved the wooden stakes together, a series of “kakaka” sounds came from the small tomb. It seemed that some heavy and huge equipment was slowly moving behind a wall.

“correct!”

The fat monk was so happy that he clapped his hands again and again, “This is really the ‘Luoshu pile’!”

Although Master Mingjun doesn’t seem to be very reliable, he has proven his true ability many times along the way that he still has some research on this tomb of the former dynasty.

Ji Xuan and Ren Jianmo hung on the ceiling like two bats for a full half an hour before moving the hundreds of wooden stakes in the correct order to where they should go according to the instructions of the fat monk.

When all is completed, Ji Xing raises his head, and he can see that the original messy wooden stakes have now become an octagonal gossip array. The dry kangs, the shooks, and the sundries leave Kundui, all in their respective places, beautiful and beautiful. Hanging brightly on the dark gray dome.

The next second, there was a loud rumbling behind the wall.

After hearing the sound, Ji Xiaoniao turned his head, and saw that the stone slab that had been blocking the door was slowly rising upwards, driven by four iron cables, until it was one and a half meters above the ground, exposing enough space for people to pass through.

Dong Jing’s cheeks flushed with excitement, almost forgetting about it, and he was about to rush into the door when he raised his head.

Elena next to him has quick eyes and quick hands, grabbing the hem of Dong’s Second Young Master’s clothes, and shook her head vigorously at him.

Only then did Dong Jing wake up sober.

The pathfinder and illuminated little paper man flew into the door first, followed by the remaining three zombie mercenaries.

The last is Ji Shu and others.

As soon as he entered the door, Ji Xiaoniao smelled a very strange smell in the air.

It is difficult for him to accurately describe this peculiar smell.

Undoubtedly, it is a smell, like a corpse odor after protein rot, but it is not strong.

On the contrary, it is hidden in the smell of sandalwood, myrrh, and many unnamed spice of the season thrush, and it blends into some indescribable, like the complex smell of a thousand-year-old wood, full of like time stagnation. Of depression.

“hiss!”

At this moment, Jelena next to Ji Tuan suddenly took a breath, and then muttered lowly: “It’s really cold.”

Yes, the stone door separating the two spaces is like the dividing line between Yin and Yang.

Just as Ji Xiaoniao walked through it, it was as if he stepped into the underworld from the world, and he swept over his face with a gloomy and condensed breath that made the hair stand upright.

Several little paper men flew out, like ghost fire wandering on the Styx.

With the help of those few luminous blue flames, Ji Yuan saw a picture that he will never forget.

Opposite the door is a hall.

It is really hard for Ji Tuan to imagine how the ancients of a thousand years ago dug such a spacious, magnificent and solid underground palace.

The paper men only wandered in front of the crowd, so the space they could see was not too big, but as far as they could see, there were countless soldiers in armor and armed with soldiers. Here, I don’t know how many people are still inside.

“Fuck…”

Ji Xiaoniao shivered, shaking off goose bumps.

“I have also seen the Terracotta Warriors and Horses pits in Xi’an before… but they are just waiting for you!… As long as you think that these were all living people, it’s really, really a bit weak…”
