Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 616: Quickly! Sliding away!

Thinking of this, Shen Lian did not hesitate at all, he looked directly at the other instruments.

I saw that there was an iron rod on the large gears on those machines, blocking the rotation of these gears.

Shen Lian said: "Take away all these iron bars."

When everyone heard this, they naturally did not hesitate.

They all took action and pulled out the iron bars that were blocking the movement of other gears.

Soon, some harsh, grinding sounds were heard.

The gears, as if breaking free from the shackles of rust, slowly began to turn.

It was a little slow at first.

But gradually, the speed increased.

Finally, it was fixed on a frequency.

Looking at these rotating gears, Shen Lian was very curious about what kind of power allowed them to continue running after such a long time?
Shen Lian expressed his doubts to Fatty Zhang.

Fatty Zhang shook his head and said, "I have been through some mausoleums' mechanisms. Different mechanisms have different situations."

"And to be honest, the older the tomb, the more broken the mechanisms are."

“Even if the design was very clever at the time, there will be some problems after so many years.”

"But there are indeed some mechanisms that are very powerful."

"And the power of these mechanisms..."

Fatty Zhang said, "I was also curious about the mechanism of a mausoleum, so I went to check it out. I found that the power of the mechanism of that mausoleum came from the underground river where the mausoleum was located."

"Under the mausoleum, there is an underground river that keeps flowing. The flowing water becomes the power that drives the mechanism to operate."

“So even if many years have passed, as long as the water in the underground river does not dry up, the mechanism will not stop functioning.”

Shen Lian suddenly understood.

This really touched his blind spot.

Shen Lian was a detective in his previous life. Although a detective needs to know a lot of knowledge, knowledge of mechanisms is not among them.

After all, this kind of mechanism is almost never seen in later generations.

Fatty Zhang looked at the devices in front of him and said, "I suspect that the power source of the mechanisms here may also be water. Because this underground palace is located in the mountains, there may be spring water in the mountains. The spring water circulates continuously and will not dry up easily."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

This guess is very reasonable.

Otherwise, Shen Lian couldn't think of any motivation that could sustain it for thousands of years.

At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly discovered that the frequency of the fingerprint rotation of a device was obviously different from just now.

The gear slowed down for a moment, then started to turn rapidly.

When Fatty Zhang saw Shen Lian looking at the gears, he also looked over there.

When he saw the gears change, Fatty Zhang suddenly said, "Someone else has triggered the mechanism!"

"This is a sign that the mechanism is working!"

Shen Lian's heart moved when he heard this.

"People from the Beidou Society are here!"

…………

Before half a stick of incense.

Go to the secret passage of the underground palace.

A group of people from Beidou Society, led by Yinyuan and Yuheng, were walking down the stairs.

After arriving at the place Shen Lian told them, it didn't take long before the entrance to the passage was discovered.

Afterwards, Yin Yuan and the others entered the secret passage.

All the way down, they didn't find anything unusual.

Originally Yuheng was still worried that he might meet Shen Lian in the secret passage.

But in the end, there was no trace of Shen Lian and his companions along the way.

This made Yuheng unsure whether Shen Lian had already come in or was following them.

"Stop!"

At this time, Yuheng suddenly stopped the team.

One-eyed Yin Yuan looked at Yu Heng and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuheng looked at the steps in front and said, "There are water stains on the steps, but there are no water stains anywhere else."

"I suspect there may be some danger ahead."

“Maybe there is a mechanism.”

Yuheng made the same judgment as Fatty Zhang.

But when Yin Yuan heard this, he laughed.

He was very confident and said, "Don't worry, there will be no danger!"

"There were indeed mechanisms here, but now, those mechanisms won't move."

Yu Heng's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked, "How do you know?"

Yin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Beichen told me."

"okay."

Yin Yuan took the lead and walked forward, saying, "Let's go, don't worry."

Naturally, no one would doubt Yin Yuan.

But Yuheng always felt something was wrong.

But before he could finish his thought, he heard a click.

The steps under Yin Yuan and the others' feet suddenly sank downwards.

at the same time--
call out!call out!call out!
Countless arrows suddenly rushed out from all directions.

It's too late to say, then soon!
Just as Yin Yuan and the members of Beidou Society swaggered and confidently stepped onto the water-stained steps.

The steps sank downwards.

Directly activated the mechanism!

In an instant, many arrows flew out from the stone walls on both sides and the stone walls above!

These arrows have sharp tips.

And it was very dark.

You can tell at first glance that it's poisoned.

I just don't know if this poison can still be effective after so many years.

But even if the poison has no effect, the sharp arrows are enough to make these people look bad!
Yuheng paused.

She looked forward.

As for Yin Yuan, his expression suddenly changed.

"how so!?"

"How could the mechanism be activated?!"

Yin Yuan roared, drew out the big knife from his waist, and cut off the arrow that was flying straight towards his face with one stroke.

He shouted at the same time: "Quick, back off."

Because the water stain is so large, it would be more dangerous if we rush forward.

So he asked people to step back first.

But behind him was the member of the Beidou Society who had just followed him.

And these members, because they trusted him, were not prepared or on guard at all.

We were suddenly faced with these dangers and were unable to react in time.

Several people were shot like hedgehogs and fell to the ground.

This was just the right thing, stopping Yin Yuan from retreating.

It made Yin Yuan's teeth gritted.

boom! boom! boom!
Yin Yuan hurriedly used his sword to block the arrows flying towards him.

It's just that there are too many arrows.

They are everywhere, everywhere.

He simply couldn't defend them all.

With no other options left, Yin Yuan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He enjoyed it directly, grabbed two frightened members of the Beidou Society, and lifted them up to block them on both sides of him.

call out!call out!call out!
As expected, the arrow immediately pierced the two men into hedgehogs.

But it did not hurt Yin Yuan who was hiding behind them. Yin Yuan actually used the people of Beidou Society as shields!
This made some Beidou Club members change their expressions.

Yuheng also frowned slightly.

Deep in his eyes, there was a flash of disgust!
It is true that the longer he stayed in Beidou Society, the more darkness and indifference he saw in Beidou Society, and the more Yuheng hated Beidou Society!

If Tianquan hadn't let him hide in the Beidou Club, he would have definitely been judged out long ago.

But now, in order to protect Shen Lian, she must continue to stay in the Beidou Club.

At least if Beidou wanted to deal with Shen Lian, she could inform Shen Lian in advance.

With the help of this special shield, Yin Yuan finally escaped from the range of the mechanism.

In just a short while, Beidou lost more than a dozen people.

Two of them died because of Yin Yuan.

But Yin Yuan did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. He just frowned and said, "Damn it, why did this mechanism suddenly work?"

Yu Heng looked at Yin Yuan, looking at the blood and water mixed together on the steps, and said calmly: "I told you before that there was a trap here, but you didn't listen. Who can you blame for this loss now?"

Yin Yuan frowned.

He said, "How could I know it would be like this? It shouldn't be like this!"

"Shouldn't it be?"

Yuheng keenly sensed something.

She asked, "Do you know this trap? Or have you been here before?"

Yin Yuan's eyes flickered, he narrowed his eyes and said, "This is what Beichen told me. I don't know the details."

"Beichen said that?"

Yuheng looked at Yinyuan with some suspicion.

Shen Lian reminded her that Yin Yuan was most likely Beichen's brand new puppet.

So, what Yinyuan said Beichen told him, was it really told by Beichen, or did Yinyuan already have some memories and wisdom of Beichen?

Yinyuan didn't know that Yuheng was observing him secretly.

He frowned and said, "Beichen told me that there is a mechanism when passing the stairs, but the mechanism is not dangerous. The mechanism has been invalidated and will not threaten anyone."

"But who would have thought that this ineffective mechanism would now work again."

Did Beichen really say that?

Yuheng felt that even if Beichen said that, after seeing the mechanism, with Yinyuan's vigilance, he would not walk over so brazenly without any test.

This was inconsistent with her impression of Yin Yuan, who was like a poisonous snake.

Could it be that... Shen Lian's guess was correct, and Yin Yuan had been controlled by Beichen.

That's why Yin Yuan had no doubt at all.

After all, he is Beichen!

Yuheng became more and more alert. If Yinyuan was Beichen, then he had to be more careful and must not reveal any problems, so as not to bring himself into trouble.

She looked forward and said, "Then what should we do with the mechanism here?"

Yinyuan frowned as he listened to Yuheng's words.

He looked at the steps in front of him and saw that the steps with water stains were about seven meters long.

This distance is not close.

No matter how good a person's physical skills are, it is impossible to fly over there in one breath.

Yinyuan stroked the hilt of the knife with his fingers.

He glanced at the holes where the arrows had shot out and said, "Now we need to confirm whether there will be new arrows after these arrows are shot out. If there are no new arrows, then the danger will be much smaller."

"The arrow just shot out with a distance of at least three meters, and now there is only four meters left."

Yu Heng asked: "How do you judge?"

A heart-pounding look flashed across the only remaining eye of the one-eyed Yin Yuan.

He turned around and looked at the members of the Beidou Society behind him.

As he watched, these members felt as if they were being stared at by a giant python.

My heart couldn't help but tighten.

Yin Yuan then raised his hand, pointed at a person, and said, "Go over and try."

Upon hearing this, the man's face turned pale.

But he didn't dare to disobey.

Because he knew that if he disobeyed Yin Yuan, Yin Yuan would kill him on the spot.

Then throw his body in.

If I go there, just as Yinyuan judged, I can still survive.

But if you don't go, you will surely die.

These people are all core members of Beidou Society, so they are well aware of Yin Yuan’s ruthlessness.

Therefore, he just took a deep breath and walked towards the mechanism with a determined look.

Yinyuan, Yuheng and others were staring at him.

As I watched this person enter the mechanism area, I saw the stairs sinking again.

Just when the man held his head, thinking that he was going to die, there was no movement at all.

There were only some mechanical turning sounds coming from both sides of the walls.

He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and said, "Master Yinyuan, it's okay."

Yin Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

"It seems that this mechanism is a one-time thing. In other words, even if there are arrows replenished, the speed will not be too fast."

"We can go ahead without worry. Now there is only a distance of four feet. Although four feet is not close, it is not too far either."

Everyone felt relieved at this moment and walked over one after another.

Yuheng listened to the sound of the machines turning on both sides of the wall, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. The machines had been turning all the time and obviously had never stopped. Would there really be no more arrows?

She tightly gripped the dagger at her waist, and kept her mind alert to the mechanisms on both sides.

........................

Inside the dark room in the underground palace.

Hua Zhanchao suddenly exclaimed, "Why are there so many arrows here?"

Behind a machine, I saw hundreds of arrows placed in a wooden box.

At the bottom of the wooden box, there is something like a conveyor belt connected to the equipment.

Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "It should be the supplement of these mechanisms. After all, once some mechanisms are activated, if someone comes later, they will not be able to function because they do not have enough weapons, so some supplements are needed."

"Restocking weapons?"

Hua Zhanchao thought about it, and then he saw a button next to the wooden box and touched it subconsciously.

........................

Then, the wooden box opened automatically.

At the same time, the arrows above also slid down quickly.

It soon fell onto something that looked like a conveyor belt, and quickly disappeared as the conveyor belt turned.

Hua Zhanchao was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but look at Shen Lian and said, "Sir Shen, this... I didn't do it on purpose. Will anything go wrong?"

Shen Lian looked at the device whose frequency had changed again, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

........................

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, something will definitely happen if something goes wrong."

"But it wasn't us who got into trouble, it was the enemy."

"Next, let's see if the enemy will be surprised!"

…………

In the passage leading to the underground palace.

Yin Yuan and others have stepped into the mechanism area with great confidence.

However, because it had been tested before and there would be no traps, they were all relieved.

At this moment, they were looking at the steps in front of them that they had not stepped on just now, with an embarrassed look on their faces.

How can I get through the four-meter distance without touching the mechanism?

This is a difficult problem.

Even Yin Yuan has not yet figured out the best solution.

At this moment, Yin Yuan, who had been focusing on the mechanical devices on both sides, moved his ears slightly.

He seemed to hear some noises that were different from what he just heard.
