Chapter 286 Behind the Wall
Grandpa Hongye placed the tripods in a clockwise order according to the order of the inscriptions on the walls of the tripod. Apparently he thought that the tripods were arranged according to the order of the stories on the ancient tripod. Even if I saw the ghost eight treasures in the dark pattern painting, I couldn't find the correct arrangement order.

Compared with Xian Yundu, Zhao Gong from hundreds of years ago is much more powerful. After all, he was born in Wuzang Temple, and has intersected with Heilanbo people's knowledge, so he was able to decipher the mysteries of these eight tripods, and then entered The world behind the dead man's wall, get or see something.

But now, I am repeating the work of Zhao Gong back then.

When the last tripod was arranged in the order I said, we suddenly saw the stone pillars surrounded by the eight tripods suddenly sinking slowly and heavily towards the center of the land, followed by the extreme speed of the airflow near us Running and twitching.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a very distant sound and response from the underground of Bading.

The response sound was dry and loud, as if it was the opening of some kind of gate or mechanism, and then there was the sound of some kind of liquid or quicksand pouring into the water, which further confirmed my thoughts.

At the same time, the ground under our feet began to tremble slightly, and the change in air pressure became more intense. A tinnitus sound caused by the huge change in air pressure quickly penetrated into my mind.

The noise from the air pressure was very "harsh" and it caused me a headache from the pressure.

I don’t know how long that strange feeling lasted. I only know that I was very surprised at the time. I was surprised that the mechanisms hundreds of years ago could still move, and I was also surprised that the underground with eight tripods What kind of secret is in the stone foundation that can produce such a great power.

After we were hit on the ground by the air pressure, I don't know how long it took before the Weng Ming in my head gradually eased. When my hearing and vision returned to normal again, I hurriedly raised my head and looked at the place where the wall of dead people was inlaid.

There was a hole in that huge wall? !
At this time, the blue-gray mist had completely dissipated with the change of air pressure in the cave. There were countless dead people embedded in the cave, and the door was wide open on the impenetrable wall, suddenly filled with a lot of watery unknown liquid. .

Between the liquids, a hole that can accommodate two people in and out appeared in front of us. The hole is very regular, just like the door of the last small temple.

In addition, the "facade" of the hole is also very scary. Although it is quite satisfactory, it is surrounded by a "door frame" composed of naked people. Those people are the same as the human shells we have seen before. His bones were gone, only "empty shells" shaped by stalactites remained, and many extremely distorted bodies were filled with turbid black water, which was constantly overflowing from the mouth, nose and facial features.

We looked at the door that suddenly appeared, and we were all dumbfounded. For a long time, I couldn't even figure it out. How could there be an extra door?
The sudden change in air pressure just made me dizzy, so I regret that I didn't see the door when it appeared, so I couldn't help but feel inexplicable when I saw the door at this time.

"Why is there an extra door?" I instinctively turned around and asked Xian Hongye.

Hongye looked at the door, and after thinking about it for a while, Ningmei suddenly said to me in a tone of admiration and admiration: "This is an ancient "underground water hydraulic" device. This door does not appear out of thin air, but rises from the ground. Yes. I also know why there are so many dead bodies on this Dead Man’s Wall.”

Hongye analyzed that the eight tripods are some kind of balance mechanism similar to a balance, and the stone pillar surrounded by the eight tripods is actually a "masonry stone" that blocks the underground waterway, and the eight tripods are used for balance around the stone. .

There are exquisite calculations and coordination between the eight tripods and their stone bases. These coordination positions are arranged according to the eight trigrams, and they are all locked. If any one is wrong, it cannot be triggered. , the underground water channel of Helanbo City will live in the wall space at the bottom of the dead man's wall, and under the action of buoyancy, the entire dead man's wall will float up.

"A wall, how can it be possible to cross it under the pressure of water?" I was puzzled.

Hongye continued to say to me: "This is the purpose of embedding dead people on the walls of the institution."

When we came, we found that those people who were "nailed" on the ancient walls by the Helambers were very strange. They were wrapped in stalactites in the erosion of years, and the inside was damp and rotted clean, but the outside left an empty stone shell Xian Hongye doesn't know the role of those stone shells in other places, but on this wall full of dead people's bones, it does play the role of "hollow foam bricks". It reduces the density of the cave, allowing the entire wall to meet water rise.

With these dead people with only empty shells left, that heavy wall can rise from the ground and reveal the empty passage that was originally buried under the ground.

The most amazing thing is that the whole mechanism is composed of groundwater, dead people and stones. The mechanism made of stone will not rust, so it can still be used after being soaked in water for hundreds of years.

Facing the empty path of flowing water, Xian Hongye and I were busy admiring the wisdom of the ancients and the ingenuity of mechanisms, while Hei Lang, surrounded by his subordinates, put on gas masks and filters leisurely.

When Hei Lang and the three of them were fully dressed, they ignored me, passed around and walked straight to the inside of the circular passage.

Looking at their backs, I suddenly realized something, so I hurriedly stopped the four of them and said, "Hei Lang, can you let me go too! I think I have the right!"

I admit that curiosity got the better of me when I said these words.

I'm curious about what kind of world is behind the dead wall, and I'm also curious about what kind of things the old nineteen is interested in, and I'm even more curious about what Zhao Gong saw back then, and why he refused to control the kind that can resist The power of the "one hundred thousand army" brought a kitchen knife out of the underground space.

And finally, and most importantly, I want to know why my old squad leader has to defend the secrets behind this dead wall even after death, and what kind of existence there is that makes my squad leader feel terrified!

Hence, I made this request.

Hei Lang, who was wearing a steel mask and a respirator, obviously didn't expect me to say such a thing, so he stopped for a moment, turned around and looked at me mechanically.

I don't know what kind of expression he has under that mask, but I can feel that this guy is seriously thinking about my request.

At the next moment, Hei Lang finally nodded his head. He looked at me and turned his eyes to the mercenaries in charge of logistics, and ordered them: "Give Lao Tian a respirator. He is indeed qualified to witness the reception. something that came down."
