Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!
Chapter 609 Gourd Mouth
Back on the main road again, everyone finally got a rare chance to breathe.
They had been washed into the garbage pit by the flood just now, and many of the supplies they carried were contaminated. Now they could only make do with two bites of compressed biscuits.
Fortunately, bottled water was not affected.
After making sure that there are no traps on the surrounding walls, lean against the wall and eat something solid, take a rest, and relax your tense nerves.
Lin Yi and the others also gathered at the downwind position to smoke one to calm their shock.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a huge fortification hidden under the ground. I have lived in this area for decades, and so many things have happened under my feet. I didn't even know about it. It really feels like my life has been in vain."
Old Wei held a cigarette, tapped the wall gently and sighed.
"Master, you can't say that. Those of us 'aboriginals' who have lived here since childhood don't know anything, so we would be ashamed."
"I don't blame you. Zhang Ji is a master of machine tools of the previous generation, and he is also proficient in the art of war. Since he can be called the 'Hidden Soldiers Cave', if he is found casually, can he still be called the 'Hidden Soldiers Cave'?"
"Yes, what Lao Lin said makes sense. Besides, this is still in the Tengger Desert. This desert is also a moving desert. We didn't just happen to meet each other by chance. Besides, we didn't come in through a regular entrance. Yes, we drilled the ventilation duct."
"What amazing craftsmanship. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I definitely wouldn't have believed it. There are also these mutated animals. Previously, Consultant Lin said that this was a magical elixir technique mastered by the ancients. To be honest, I only thought he was You're bragging. Now, I believe you when you say a cow can grow into a tree!"
Jin Pengfei's trip was really an eye-opener. He was convinced by the abilities and opinions of people like Lin Yi and Wang Qiang.
"Come to think of it, Consultant Lin, how long do you think it will take for us to find the location we want if we keep going like this?"
Lin Yi put out his cigarette butt and used the ashes to draw a sketch on the ground.
"You see, this underground fortification is a maze. It radiates outwards from the garbage disposal point where we are now, but there is only one road under our feet that runs all the way through.
There is definitely no way to go back now, so we can only bite the bullet and go in. According to the results of the previous analysis, Zhang was trying to outflank the Lu Shuihu rebels and catch them off guard.
If this cave is regarded as a camp, the place we just passed was the rear area, and next is the front line. I estimate that there will not be many original mechanisms and traps in the front, because the battle ahead is urgent, so we have to leave as soon as possible. Leave immediately and think about the 'password' again, which will inevitably delay the opportunity to fight. "
"Consultant Lin, according to your wish, we can take a bold step forward?"
Old Wei raised his hand and gave his apprentice a blast.
"I can't even understand what I'm saying. Consultant Lin said that there won't be many original traps and traps. The traps and traps here were created by two people. You have to consider the other person's thoughts."
Jin Pengfei covered his head with tears streaming down his face and did not dare to say anything.
"Old Wei is right, Zhang Ji's things are easy to handle, it's this Yu Wenrui, and I still haven't figured out who he is trying to prevent by installing these traps?
If you say it is his personal hobby, you can only say that it is far-fetched, because apart from the group of blind little devils back then, we were the unlucky ones to step into these traps. "
When Wang Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but interjected:
"You said that this second son followed in his father's footsteps and learned the Tao. He should be more or less capable of calculating. Could he be sure that someone is coming in?"
Lin Yi glanced at him sideways.
"you sure?"
Wang Qiang thought again, curled his lips and shook his head.
"It doesn't seem very realistic. The 'Push Back Chart' can't predict it so accurately. Hiss~ What's going on?"
Qian Sheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said:
"I feel that this Yu Wenrui is not simple. He seems to be bohemian and aloof from the world. In fact, this person is flexible and capable, and he is quite capable. I always feel that this person is not like the one in the notes of Teacher Song and Gong Guisen. It’s so simple.”
Lin Yi thought for a moment and nodded. "That's an idea of yours. I also think that Yu Wenrui is trying to stir up some trouble, but I don't have a clue yet. Why don't we keep walking in and take a look."
"How are you all taking a rest? This is a passageway. Let's go further and find a relatively safe area to have a good rest."
In this dark passage, no one has any concept of time.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, Beijing time.
Everyone's physical fitness is about to reach a limit. If you stay in such a confined space for a long time and don't get a rest, you will have psychological problems.
Old Wei took the lead, and Jin Pengfei took the lead, taking the lead with Lin Yi.
The two wounded, plus Xiao Liu, were in the middle of the team with Bai Lu, with Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng in the rear.
Not long after walking, the passage in front began to slowly narrow. The passage that could have accommodated two carriages traveling side by side was only left with one carriage.
Judging from the ruts in the passage and the friction marks on the walls on both sides, this distance requires the driver to accurately control the horse and adjust the driving position in order to pass safely.
It is somewhat similar to the height and width limit devices on modern roads.
When you reach this place, you have to slow down to pass smoothly.
"stop!"
Lin Yi waved his hand and the large army stopped.
"Consultant Lin, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Lin Yi nodded and called Qian Sheng over.
"Third brother, take a look."
Qian Sheng came forward in a few steps and stood at the entrance of the narrow passage to watch.
"There is indeed something wrong with this passage. The place where the two spaces suddenly narrow down is called the 'gourd mouth', and there will inevitably be a curve behind the gourd mouth, making it impossible to judge the situation ahead.
It can be used to slow down forcefully, and it's also a good location to set up an ambush. "
In fact, Qian Sheng said it more euphemistically. This kind of "gourd mouth" design is most commonly found in the tomb passages of Han tombs. The most common one is that once someone enters the tomb passage and passes through the gourd mouth, huge rocks and lime will suddenly fall from above. Even the guillotine is a very classic trap design.
But the "Hulukou" in front of us doesn't seem that complicated. It just plays a role in slowing down the process, but who dares to draw conclusions?
The only way now is to find something to try.
But this thing is really hard to find for a while. If you want to trigger the mechanism, you must first have a decent weight, and secondly, once the mechanism is triggered, this thing will definitely be destroyed.
Old Wei took off his backpack and sorted out the contents. The important items were gathered into Jin Pengfei's bag.
"Come on, everyone, take a look. If there's anything else you can throw away, throw it in."
This time, everyone didn’t bring much with them. After collecting it for a long time, it only weighed more than ten kilograms. I thought there would be no reaction if I threw it over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the backpack touched the ground, intertwined spikes suddenly appeared from the gaps between the walls on both sides.
A flash of cold light shone on everyone's face. (End of chapter)
