Indiana Jones

Chapter 252 Going Deeper (02)

Lin Feng broke the mechanism in the front, and the others couldn't help, so they could only wait in the back boredly.

With a person like Lin Feng in their place, they have experienced a lot of danger. Having such a person in this kind of place is really a gift from heaven.

Stan leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette, as if to pass the boring time.

"Do you think this is a vacation? The cigarette is pinched." Li Siming glared at him, this kid is too unruly.

Stan didn't dare to say anything, and the boss pressed the cigarette butt on the wall unhappily and extinguished it.

"Here, old man, is the purpose of setting up the mechanism here is to have something in it?" Zhao Chenggong asked with a studious look.

"Not necessarily. The general ancient tomb mechanism is to prevent tomb thieves. The purpose is to prevent people from entering. Preventing thieves from stealing is one aspect. More importantly, it is to prevent someone from destroying the body of the tomb owner." The woodcutter looked at Lin Feng from behind. Knock on the ground with a steel drill, and several pieces of the ground have sunk. This is not a linked flap, all of them are triggered independently. The most insidious thing is that there will be no problem when you start walking up. When you walk halfway When I was young, I set off a trap set in a larger area, and then all the traps you passed through those places just now will be opened. At this time, if you touch any piece, it will be missed. This kind of trap is especially suitable for dealing with tomb robbers who are acting together. When it was discovered that there was a mechanism, most of it had been missed. The design was really insidious, and it would be really difficult to deal with people who did not understand the principle of the mechanism.

"The institutions here are specially designed. They are calculating everywhere. They are all used to deal with the tomb robbers with a large number of people. The more people come, the greater the loss. If a person comes, he can't get out. I'm afraid it will be very difficult if there is no one to help." It’s hard to leave.” The woodcutter also saw the problem here.

"That is to say, if there are too many people, you will die quickly, and if there are few people, you will die without help." Guo Zhongxiao understood that this mechanism is to kill everyone who comes in. As long as you can't find the switch, don't even think about it. Come in.

"Killing all those who dared to enter the imperial mausoleum, the first thing is to keep the owner's body and the gold and silver treasures in the mausoleum, and at the same time deter other tomb robbers who come in, so that they will retreat in spite of difficulties. This will serve multiple purposes!" Si Xuanyi They all thought about these issues very clearly.

The woodcutter sneered: "Hmph, how many tomb robbers can resist the temptation of the contents inside and take risks? But Qianling has not been robbed so far because of those mysterious layouts and inescapable traps."

Si Xuanyi knew that he was talking about Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum. Indeed, it has not been robbed yet, and it's not that no one covets it, but every time someone goes there, they will encounter troubles of one kind or another, so that the tomb robbers finally They all retreated in spite of the difficulties. It is said that a warlord led a large army to rob the Qianling Mausoleum. When the stone was sealed, the mechanism was triggered, and poisonous smoke was emitted from the tomb, and the engineers were poisoned to death in pieces. The warlord was so scared that he did not dare to dig. Later, many strange and inexplicable things happened. His chief of staff, that is, the military adviser when he fell into the grass, died inexplicably. The next day, he was found hanged on a tree in front of the mausoleum, with disheveled hair and broken bones all over his body. The broken ones were completely broken. When he was put down People are like noodles. Some people said that he advocated the excavation of the imperial tomb and offended the "Second Sage". The queen was furious and ordered Di Renjie to capture him alive and beat him to death with a dragon mace. There were countless stings, and they all died within half a day. The warlord was frightened, thinking that retribution was coming, so he hurriedly asked people to backfill the tomb passage, worshiped wantonly, and fled away.

"You are lucky to have you and Lin Feng here, or we would really..." Li Siming said, "I really don't know how many times I have died."

"For such a large-scale mausoleum building, we know how much effect this thing can play is still unknown, but it is definitely not as simple as you think, everyone should be careful, don't think that we can keep yours. If our lives are really in danger, we may not even be able to protect ourselves, so it is better to rely on ourselves." The woodcutter still poured cold water on them from time to time.

This is indeed true. Who can guarantee that there will be no danger in this kind of place, and who can guarantee that they will be able to escape unscathed when encountering danger?If someone really had this ability, there wouldn't be so many tomb robbers dying in tombs in the world.

It didn't take long for Lin Feng to get those flippers out, and several people breathed a sigh of relief, but when they were about to move on, they found an incredible thing, Stan disappeared.

"It was here just now, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?" Guo Zhongxiao remembered that Shi Dan was standing behind him just now, and Lin Feng was still there when the mechanism was settled, so why suddenly disappeared.

"Look for it quickly." Si Xuanyi knew that something had happened, and it was impossible for people to disappear out of thin air.

Where can I find it?The front and back of the aisle are empty, so it can be said that it can be seen at a glance, and this place is very amplified, if someone walks around, it is impossible not to hear it, and Stan is not the kind of person who walks lightly, besides, he is not timid. Maybe running around by myself, I really saw a ghost.

"There is a mechanism behind this." Lin Feng knocked on the wall where Stan was standing just now, "This wall should be able to turn."

"It's a standing flap." Guo Zhongxiao's understanding is also appropriate.

"There's no sound at all? Can you find where the switch is?" Li Siming touched the wall and it looked like it was integrated.

"You don't need to touch it. If it's more than two feet thick, you won't be able to open it at all." Lin Feng searched the wall for a long time, but he was helpless.

"Then what should we do?" Si Xuanyi knocked hard on the stone wall, judging from the sound, it was really thick.

"This kind of place was originally intended to trap tomb robbers who sneaked in. The opening and closing of the mechanism should be outside, just to prevent people from accidentally opening and closing the mechanism here. Then what is the use of this mechanism?" Lin Feng also looked helpless.

It's going to be a big trouble now, so just leave Stan here?They couldn't bear it, they could be saved but they couldn't be saved, and they couldn't leave.

"We can't spend it here, life and death are fate, wish him good luck." The woodcutter rarely said such words.

"But..." Si Xuanyi was covered by Lin Feng as soon as he opened his mouth, "Listen, there is a voice."

In fact, it doesn’t take him to say that everyone has heard it, but at first they didn’t know what it was?But soon they understood that it was the sound of rumbling water.

"Damn, this place is going to be flooded." Zhao Chenggong was the first to react, "Run."

Where does the water come from?The voice came from behind. When they walked over just now, there was nothing, let alone a fork in the road. Where did the water come from?You must know that once water is poured into such a narrow passage, they will only be drowned, and there will be no place to escape or hide.

Without any urging, everyone started running along the passage. Being drowned in this kind of place is really aggrieved. Let's run, no matter what traps or traps, I don't care about it at all. Who wants to be drowned This kind of place?
But not long after they ran out, the water behind them followed. Although it was not a huge wave, it could also be said that the water was fierce. How could they compare with the rushing water with their two legs?After running only ten meters, they were overtaken by the rushing water, and then they were sucked into the water, and they were rushed forward involuntarily, completely involuntarily. Many people choked on the water and almost fainted. The passage was already dark, and the flashlights in their hands were rushed by the water and kept hitting them. Even if they didn't lose it, it wouldn't be of much use. In the rushing water, they could at most see some flickering flashlights, but they couldn't see where they were at all.

Just when they were about to drown, their bodies loosened suddenly and they left the rushing water, but they immediately realized that they were already in mid-air, and before they had time to react, they fell into the water again, surrounded by chaos It was pitch black, and Si Xuanyi struggled to swim up from the water. As soon as he poked his head out of the water, he began to cough profusely. While coughing, water kept gushing out from his mouth and nose. His lungs had already entered a lot. of water.

"Who?" A person next to him asked while coughing. The surrounding water was rumbling, but Si Xuanyi still recognized the voice of the woodcutter.

"Old...father...me." Si Xuanyi said holding back a violent cough.

"Hmm... do you have a flashlight? Let's see...how are the others doing?" The woodcutter coughed very hard.

"It fell, I don't know... where it fell... and it went away." Si Xuanyi sounded like a woodcutter leaning over, but before he moved, he touched something, and he felt that it was a person. After asking a question, the man didn't speak, but the woodcutter agreed, "What's wrong?"

"There's a person here, I don't know who it is, he seems to have fainted." Si Xuanyi replied, and at the same time touched this person's body to see if he could find a flashlight or other lighting tools. It really doesn't feel good to feel in the dark.

"Anyone else hear?" the woodcutter shouted, but the water was too loud, and the sound didn't seem to be able to travel too far, so no one responded.

Si Xuanyi found that the feeling on this person's body didn't feel right. His skin was icy cold, the same temperature as the water here. It stands to reason that they had just fallen, and the temperature of their body couldn't have dropped so quickly. It was obviously a dead person to the touch. , even if they fall and someone dies, it is impossible for the body to cool down so quickly, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately told the woodcutter about the situation on his side.

"It doesn't matter whether he is alive or dead, let's see if there is anything on his body that can be used." The woodcutter scolded.

Si Xuanyi thought that this was indeed the case. The black light is blind, so let's find something to illuminate it first. As long as there is light, what's going on here will be clear at a glance. Thinking of this, he continued to rummage through the corpse. There is really nothing wrong with this guy. At least, weapons, ropes, food are all available, and there are two packs of matches, but they are already soaked and unusable, which annoys him for a long time without touching the flashlight.

"Why haven't you found it yet?" The woodcutter's voice sounded from one side, as if he was waiting to be touched by someone from this side.

"Why are you so slow, boy?" said the woodcutter.

"There are many things on him, but there is nothing that can illuminate it." Si Xuanyi was going to touch it again from beginning to end.

"Nonsense! How can I touch a flashlight." The woodcutter scolded.

"What?" Si Xuanyi didn't understand all of a sudden. What he was wondering was that he had checked carefully and didn't find it just now. Why did the woodcutter find the flashlight just after he arrived?

"There seems to be something wrong with this flashlight." The woodcutter tapped beside him, but Si Xuanyi's flashlight didn't light up at all.

"Let me see if there is a spare battery." Si Xuanyi continued to rummage through that person, but he found another problem as soon as he touched it. The place where I heard the woodcutter talking seems to be a bit far from the place where I touched the person, so I and the woodcutter are not touching the same person...

When he was thinking about these things, the woodcutter's flashlight suddenly turned on, and it was facing him, which hurt his eyes for a while. It took him a long time to get used to it, and after a careful look, he found that there was a gap between him and the woodcutter. Sure enough, there were two people, it should be said that they were two completely unfamiliar corpses. Before he could understand what was going on, he heard the woodcutter curse, and the flashlight moved away, and he followed the flashlight to see what was going on. Surrounded by corpses...
