Chapter 49
"Run...Run..."
A mole and I supported each other and ran forward along the underground river bank with unsteady steps.
Behind him, the bells sounded melodiously.
The water in the underground river surged, and a small whirlpool gradually formed on the surface. Just as a mole said, there was a huge roulette-like mechanism under the water. The underwater roulette wheel drove the bronze chain, and the bronze chain pulled the gilded human head. Finally, the human head struck the chime.
I covered my nose vigorously with my hands, but scarlet blood still penetrated through the gaps between my fingers and dripped down.
At this moment, a mole suddenly thought of something, and she shouted at me: "Plug your ears! Run back!"
After she yelled this sentence, she couldn't help but start to pull me back.
After running so far, running back is not a way to die! I couldn't figure out her intention, but she still led her back.
Even though my ears were blocked, this was going back. The closer I got to the source of the sound, the more painful my eardrums became.
Climbing and running, I returned to the starting point.
"Throw away...throw away the clock..." A mole's clothes on her chest were mostly wet with her own nosebleeds, and she spoke in a weak voice.
Holding back the pain in my ears, I untied my clothes and threw the chime I was carrying behind me into the underground river.
Almost at the same time.
The sound of the chimes suddenly stopped.
The gilt skulls hanging on bronze chains lost their source of power and relied on inertia for a few final swings.
The underground river returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before.
I lay on the ground side by side with a mole, breathing heavily.
"Hong...Sister Hong, how did you know we were going back?"
The mole on her face was pale, and the clothes on her chest were already a bright red, so she weakly expressed her guess.
I briefly recalled what she said and felt that it was very possible. Fortunately, she was calm-minded. Otherwise, if we kept running forward with our heads covered, we would definitely not survive.
This underground river is in the shape of a closed long tube. Due to this structure, sound propagates very quickly. We can never outrun the sound. In addition, she has been in the water before. The reason why the chimes can sound depends entirely on the roulette wheel and the water flow. The reason why the chimes are triggered is because I smashed one down. "
Meteorites have attraction to each other, which is a balance of gravity. If one is missing, the weight balance will be broken. This is a very sophisticated set of mechanisms. I also secretly guessed that maybe there was no underground river more than two thousand years ago, and that big turntable might have been exposed on the ground.
In the time of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, the Book of Changes had just been written, but Qi Men Dun Jia had already been formed for a long time. Qi Men Dun Jia was born out of Zhou Yi. This view is not correct. Qi Men Dun Jia must have preceded Zhou Yi.
What followed was the Warring States Period. At that time, the Book of Changes had not been popularized at all, but there were already the techniques of political strategists, the genealogy of military strategists, the methods of Quan family, and the institutions of Mohist family, which created Gui Guzi, Sun Bin, and Ying Zheng. , Yan Ying, Bai Qi and a large number of heroes.
This huge set of human head roulette chimes must have the support of the Mohist organ skills and the Yin and Yang family in the Western Zhou Dynasty. If you look at it from another angle, this is the national-level cultural relic mentioned in Yao Yu's door...
Unfortunately, we can't take it with us.
If any one of these chimes is taken away, it will trigger the large underwater carousel and endanger the lives of living people.
"Sister Hong, tell me, will we not be able to get out and be trapped in this underground river?" I wiped my nosebleed.
A mole didn't reply.
"Sister Hong?"
"Sister Hong?"
I struggled to get up and took a look, only to see a mole and a frown on her eyebrows. Her face was pale and she had fallen into a coma.
"Sister Hong! Sister Hong! Wake up! Wake up quickly!" I shook her desperately.
A mole swayed from my upper body, but she remained motionless.
"Drink water, Sister Hong, yes, drink water," I took out the mineral water from my bag and fed her, but the water couldn't be fed in, and it all flowed away from the corner of her mouth.
I was at a loss and said with red eyes: "Eat, Sister Hong, eat some biscuits quickly."
The biscuits had soaked and turned into a semi-liquid like water. I couldn't feed them either.
One mole is breathing weakly now.
