Chapter 73 The Stone, the Gate

Looking into my eyes, Lao Jiu said: "Lin Tianyi, your reflexes are amazing, we are still under the sea, but something incredible happened, can you get up?"

Looking to the side, the oxygen cylinder was put aside, and the oxygen mask was also taken off. I sat up on my hands and asked, "Where are we?"

"I don't know." Lao Jiu said, "As soon as the cabin door was opened, I was sucked in. After waking up, I was in this ghost place. How could there be such a place under the sea?"

My body regained consciousness, and I simply sat up directly: "No, Lao Jiu, if there is an entrance, why doesn't the sea water flow in, and there is air in it."

I took a deep breath, there is not only air here, but also plenty of it, although it looks a little dull, but the air flows naturally, Lao Jiu sighed: "I also want to know why, Lin Tianyi, we got into trouble , I have just looked for the exit passage, but nothing was found. If you need an entrance to enter, now this entrance is completely closed. I suspect that this entrance can only be opened from the outside. Once you enter, you cannot return to the same place.”

Lao Jiu and I took off our diving suits for the convenience of movement. In this way, our bodies were completely relaxed. I looked around. This is a stone room, whether it is big or small, there is probably a football The field is huge, and the most terrible thing is that there is nothing here except the bluestone slabs. The stone room is square and not high. It looks more than two meters, and the back is still hurting.

"The stone room is neat and square, and the bluestones are carefully ground." Lao Jiu said, "It's such a deep seabed. This is a very huge project. How to open up the basement under the sea and how to send the bluestones here? Too Incredible."

Lao Jiu kept talking to himself, but I was immersed in my own world. From the time I went into the sea to now, there have been several incredible things, "What happened just now? When we pulled you up, the rope suddenly broke gone."

"Ge Laozi, I still want to say that the rope is not enough here. Seeing a cave coming out, I feel that I want to go in and have a look, but the rope is pulled. I want to untie the rope, but the water The pressure is too much, the movement is not quick," Lao Jiu complained when he mentioned it: "So I was trying to untie the rope, but you guys lifted me up, I didn't want to waste time, so I broke it myself .”

It turned out that I couldn't laugh or cry, Lao Jiu said again: "Thinking of your temper, you will definitely come down to find me, so I left a mark there, you came quite quickly."

At this moment, there was a sudden roar above my head, like thunder on the bottom of the sea, and my heart sank: "Oops, a storm is coming, that kid Meng Luo must be smarter. "

"Don't worry, there's no reason to wait to die right here? If he is so stupid, he deserves to die." Lao Jiu said so, with a worried look on his face. These days getting along, this point is quite obvious, if he admits death and stays where he is, it is still very dangerous.

Although we were anxious, there was nothing we could do. It was an extravagant hope to leave here now. After resting for a while, we groped around in the stone room with the oxygen cylinders on our backs. There was no looseness or hollowness, only the whistling wind gushed in from the ground, which showed that This is connected to the outside.

"Wait, Lao Jiu, that Yuan Dynasty water transport ship just sank to this place. The cabin was locked from the inside. There is only one explanation. The people on board encountered some danger. In order to protect themselves, they closed the cabin. Here, it means that after the ship sinks, there are still people on board, those people..." I tried my best to sort out my thoughts, and finally came to a conclusion: "Those people locked themselves in the cabin to avoid any danger, but because the ship and The organs leading here collided, so they were also sucked in, if this premise is true?"

Lao Jiu immediately came to his senses: "If this premise is true, those people should also come here, but there is nothing here, which means that people have gone out from here."

Lao Jiu and I immediately clapped hands to celebrate. If people disappear from here, there must be a way out, but our hearts have not yet returned to our stomachs. Lao Jiu said: "This is just your guess, and it is logical. However, it must be broken through practical actions, Lin Tianyi, I thought of something."

"What?" I asked.

"There is something called Zilaishi in the tombs of the Ming Dynasty." Lao Jiu said: "The center of gravity of this type of door is on the inside of the door, which is heavy on the inside and light on the outside, and can be opened and closed freely. It cannot be opened, just because there are natural stones inside, and the stone strips that top the door from the inside are called "natural stones". The way to close the door with natural stones is to close one door tightly first, and then close the other door. Closed to the inside of the stone trough on the ground, someone inside the door put the natural stone into the center of the stone trough on the ground, and leaned against the half-covered door leaf. Then the coming stone fell under the stone sills of the two doors, and pushed the doors firmly, so that the doors will be closed firmly."

"What does this have to do with us?" I wondered.

"The relationship is very important." Lao Jiu said: "Later people can think of this method, and the predecessors may have similar ideas and be more diligent. From now on, we don't care about the ground, and mainly study the stone walls. A gap is enough."

I understand, the door, what we are looking for now is the door. Lao Jiu and I divided the entire stone room into two, and one person is in charge of one area. In order not to miss it, I brushed my fingers directly across the wall. The gap that Lao Jiu said It doesn’t just refer to the filled gap between the stone slabs, but the gap that can be ventilated. There is no sound in the whole space, only the panting of me and Lao Jiu, and the sound of footsteps moving. There are only four walls in total. , Lao Jiu and I quickly settled one side, and then checked the other two sides. Finally, Lao Jiu took the lead in laughing: "Lin Tianyi, we too, come here quickly!"

I took a step forward, and Lao Jiu motioned me to feel it with my hands. I pressed my hands on it, and the wind came out, sweeping it in the palm of my hand, and it was very comfortable. You will be able to reach a new place." Lao Jiu was so excited that he could not control himself: "Let me see how to open this door..."

Lao Jiu took out an iron wire from the waterproof bag tied around his waist, unexpectedly it was too thick to get in, and when I was depressed, Lao Jiu took out another wire, which was much thinner in comparison. Many, he smiled at me triumphantly, he fiddled with it for a long time, completely following the method of opening the "self-made stone", and he couldn't do anything about sweating: "No, if it was a natural stone, it must have been opened early. opened."

I was helpless: "Since this is the case, it must not be a natural stone. It is better to change the method. From the perspective of time, the Ming Dynasty was not after the Qin and Han Dynasties. It makes no sense."

Lao Jiu was on the edge of his horn, and murmured: "I don't believe in this evil anymore."

Seeing him holding his breath and tossing there, I had no choice but to stand aside and watch. Suddenly, I found something flashed in the gap. Passing the wire in his hand, Lao Jiu said in amazement: "What are you doing?"

Without making a sound, I made the iron wire into a "7" shape, then stretched it in, and gently pushed it forward. This small iron wire was not enough to move Shimen, "Is there a thicker one, or a flatter one?"

"There are all kinds of models you want." Lao Jiu said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to use them."

Lao Jiu untied the bag on his waist and let me choose it. When I saw one of them, my heart moved, and I immediately picked it up and stuck it in the gap. I flicked it vigorously, and it loosened again. I was more sure of my thoughts. Immediately stop: "Old Jiu, do you have explosives?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Lao Jiu said, "Do you want to start?"

"It seems that there is no need." I said cheerfully: "I think we have overlooked a little bit, and we have always seen places that are higher than ourselves, but we have not seen places that are lower than ourselves."

After finishing speaking, I threw down the wire in my hand, lay down on the ground with my whole body, and looked up again, the light from the headlight shone upwards, hehe, as expected, we were deceived by the sight, and Laojiu's technique was useless , Seeing me babbling, I couldn't hold back for a long time: "What the hell are you doing?"

I pressed my hand on one of the stone slabs, with my fingers pointing up, dug it in, and pulled it out with all my strength, the stone door opened, and the light beam shone in the dark night behind the door, looking small and powerless, I suddenly He breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed loudly: "Sometimes, experience comes in handy, Lao Jiu, are you convinced?"

Lao Jiu was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"

"People have some specific habits. For example, we must read from left to right. For example, when we look at the door in front of us, it is perfectly integrated with the stone wall, and because of the reason we stand, there are also usual habits. It must be seen from the top, isn't it?" I said: "So the person who designed this door took advantage of this habit, we always wanted to start from the gap, and from the top to the bottom, the concealed button was completely blocked, Only by looking up from the bottom can you clearly see that this is a mechanism that can be pulled in with your fingers, as long as you hold it and pull it out."

Lao Jiu showed a look of disbelief: "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." I said firmly, "If you don't believe me, just get down and have a look."

Lao Jiu really lay down on the ground, stood up after confirming, and punched the wall: "Damn, this person is just playing tricks, simplifying complicated things, and then playing with others."
