The original mural changed color in the blink of an eye.摑
"Fuck!" Wu Xiaoxie and the other two were immediately shocked.
"What is this? Magic?"
"Dear me, this is amazing, how come you just... change into another color?" The fat man looked at the cigarette case in his hand with some doubts. That's right, it came from The Yellow Crane Tower that Tianzhen wants to come over, when did it have this special function?
Looking at his expression, Zhang Zhuxun knew what he was thinking, so he pointed at the iron box placed under the mural and explained: "The point is not what cigarettes are lit, but the powder in the can box, you see. "When the two fat men saw the can, they were immediately shocked.
"Why is the powder gone? Is it burned?" The red powder in the can was ignited by the cigarette inserted inside, and was completely burned within ten seconds.
Zhang Zhuoxun walked over and touched the mural, and then showed them the red stain on his fingertips.
"This is a special method of hiding murals. The red powder is a medicinal material made from grinding the petals of a plant. The name is dandelion vine. As the name suggests, it is a flower that looks like a dew drop. From blooming to fruiting, There is only one petal, and the effect is a bit..." The fat man squeezed his eyebrows and smiled a little bit.
"What's the effect? You just made me and Tianzhen hold our breath, is it that one?" Wu Xiaoxie didn't know why at first, but when he saw the fat man smiling so obscenely, he immediately understood and stayed away from the cauldron.
"Damn it, how could you Zhang family put this kind of stuff in a cauldron and pack so much of it? It's like wholesale. I thought it was dyed incense ash."
"This has something to do with the tiny bugs on the murals I just mentioned." Zhang Zhuxun explained,
"The smell emitted by the burning Danlu vine is difficult to detect with the human sense of smell. If the amount is small, it will be metabolized quickly. However, it has a great impact on these bugs. Once they enter the spring period, their whole bodies will become It's transparent, so you can see the real mural hidden underneath." Wu Xiaoxie asked him,
"Then what were those sounds like knocking on glass just now?"
"Oh, that's because the mechanism buckle inside the mural has been activated. When the insects are crawling to find a suitable mate, the weight of the mural will change, so the small mechanism behind it is activated." Zhang Zhuxun explained casually, and asked someone who knew when The little brother who half-opened his eyes gave me some water.
The little brother's eyes turned around Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty, and then fell asleep again. Zhang Zhuxun leaned over to steady his back, then raised his chin to Wu Xiaoxie and the others.
"Let's go, hurry up and get out of here." The fat man looked left and right, wondering,
"Where to go? There's no door here." Wu Xiaoxie had already observed that the front foot of Qilin on the ground was in the shape of a tripod hidden in the flames, and he immediately turned around. He turned his head towards the round bronze tripod in the center and carefully looked at the wear and tear between the floor and the three beast's feet.
Then he called to the fat man and said, "Fat man, come on, let's turn this big cauldron around together." Zhang Zhuxun was a little pleased. Wu Xiaoxie had an innate talent for observing mural texts, and he was very good at finding them. Find out the differences hidden inside.
It's like an old tomb robber who has been fighting for most of his life. Once he enters the fighting, he can tell where the trap is by just looking at it. This is a kind of keen perception that transcends the sixth sense.
The two held the edge of the cauldron and turned it clockwise first. Under their push, the cauldron slowly rotated on its original axis.
After turning half a circle, the mural wall also began to rotate until the bronze tripod rotated a complete circle, and the flap on the mural opened completely, revealing two gaps three people wide on the left and right.
"Which way to go?" Wu Xiaoxie turned to ask Zhang Shuxun.
"It's all the same." Zhang Zhuxun took the lead and stepped through the flip door. There was still an upward staircase behind him. He deliberately avoided a stone brick two steps ahead.
Fatty and Wu Xiaoxie also quickly followed, stepped on the brick, flipped the door open and closed it in an instant.
After walking along the stairs for more than ten minutes, the front turned into a repaired stone path. I heard the sound of water flowing in my ears, and the air began to become moist.
The fat man couldn't help but cough a few times and put on the gas mask again.
"Put them all on." Zhang Zhuxun suddenly said with a serious face. Wu Xiaoxie didn't know why. He turned around and looked at the seams at the top of both sides of the stone path. The carvings were all fist-sized animal heads protruding from the wall. The distance between each two was one meter. He immediately cursed secretly. One sound,
"It's not just a blowhole, is it?" Zhang Zhu hummed, and put on new protective clothing and masks. He also changed new ones for the little brother, and put a layer of protective clothing on top of his clothes.
Wu Xiaoxie and the other two quickly followed suit. After everything was ready, they moved forward again. Zhang Zhuoxun walked faster and faster, almost running at the end.
Fatty Man looked back unintentionally, and suddenly he said "Oh my God" and turned around and shouted: "Run quickly, the poisonous fog is coming after me." It turned out that the mechanism had been silently activated at some point.
A large cloud of thick fog, surrounded by the aura of death, is falling from the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually approaching here.
In front of the stone path was a huge mountain cave. They sped up and ran towards it, but accidentally stepped into the water. On the shallows beside the water lay several large white corpses, all of which were covered with dense bubbles and small holes. .
The cave here seems to be closed, and they have no way out.
"The bones are fake." Zhang Zhuoxun only glanced at it, then walked straight into the deeper part of the pool, reminding them both without looking back.
"Follow me, there must be a way under the water." The skeletons placed there are just psychological hints to defeat the intruder's hope of survival.
Seeing that the white mist was about to gather here, the fat man cursed secretly,
"Mom, just die, innocent, let's go quickly." The two of them stumbled into the water, and followed Zhang Zhu's back and forth legs to swim over. Sure enough, they found an open secret door at the bottom of the pool, and the two of them hurriedly Swim in.
It was pitch dark in the waterway. Wu Xiaoxie swam forward while groping for the walls on both sides. He swam about seven or eight meters, and suddenly there was light in front of him. Through the water, he could clearly see that the space above was shrouded in faint green. In the light of jade.
The fat man got out of the water before him, took off the gas mask that had become ineffective after being soaked in water, and pulled Wu Xiaoxie up. The two of them walked up the steps soaked in water.
Then I discovered that this place was a completely irregular cave, full of green and eerie jade light.
The top is all green stalactites growing downward like liquid, as if each Milotuo was half-melted by the alkali gas and then solidified and hung upside down here.
In front of the steps is an iron cable single-plank bridge built on the water. It is seventeen or eight meters long and leads directly to the entrance of the cave.
Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty were ecstatic, thinking that they were about to reach the poisonous gas cave full of water pools, but they found that Zhang Zhuxun was already standing on the chain bridge with his little brother on his back.
The two of them rushed over and when they saw it, the smiles on their faces instantly froze. From the middle section of the chain bridge to the entrance of the cave in front, extending into the circular cave, there are countless red silk threads, as dense as a coiled silk cave. Each silk thread here is covered with countless well-shaped fruits - hexagonal Brass bell.
The fat man couldn't help but take a step back and smacked his tongue: "Damn it, your Zhang family's anti-theft system is too awesome. Who can get through here unless they are squeezed into noodles?"
"It's okay to squeeze into a bastard." Wu Xiaoxie murmured,
"That way we can crawl from under the water to the other side."
"How to squeeze?" The fat man turned his head and looked at him,
"As long as I can get across, let alone being squeezed into a bastard, I am willing to become a dung beetle." The second half of the rope bridge was completely submerged in the water. Zhang Zhuxun looked up at the top of the cave and found that there were also Full of bells.
The red silk thread is like a large infrared wall, and the bells on it are warning devices. Once they accidentally touch one, all the bells will shake together in the next moment. If they can't hold on for three seconds, they will fall into hallucinations or drown. Die, or be gassed.
"Can dung beetles swim?" The more nervous Wu Xiaoxie is, the more uncontrollably Wu Xiaoxie's thoughts spread. This is actually a way of self-calming.
"How the hell do I know?" The fat man's expression was extremely ugly.
"I'm not a coach." He said and turned to look at Zhang Chuxun.
"Coach Xiao Zhang, please give me some guidance, how should we get through?" Zhang Zhuxun lived up to expectations, looked at both sides of the cave, and immediately said: "There must be a mechanism here that can fill the entire cave with water. After the bell is filled with water, it will It won't make any noise." Wu Xiaoxie and the two looked at him expectantly. Zhang Zhuxun handed his little brother to the fat man to carry on his back, and walked back to the other end of the rope bridge. The walls there were inlaid with many dragon's mouths and fish. The opening in the shape of a mouth must be the water injection opening.
Zhang Shuxun reached out and touched the chin of one of the dragon's mouths, and pulled out the small plug below. The dragon's mouth, which was originally closed, immediately opened at an angle of 60 degrees, but strangely, the thing inside The ball is stuck inside the dragon's mouth, and there are many new polishing marks on the ball.
I went to look at the next one and found that it was still the same. After starting the mechanism, nothing came out of the dragon's mouth. The ball was ground down and squeezed into the water inlet. There are also several fish mouths set here. pores.
Zhang Zhuxun's face changed slightly.
"Oops, someone has been here before us and tampered with these institutions." Mist has begun to come out of the fish's mouth, a very rich white color, as if there is life, slowly in the air Spread out and spread their teeth and claws.
"The alkaline gas will spread soon. Without water, we have to bite the bullet and get through." Zhang Zhuxun immediately ran back to the rope bridge, picked up the younger brother, and said to Wu Xiaoxie and Wu Xiaoxie,
"I'll go through it first, and you two will follow behind." Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty watched nervously as he crossed the first red silk thread, and then showed extraordinary flexibility, even if there was a person on his back, he could not stop him Not as silky as his, she is light and airy when she moves around, like a flexible ribbon that can go a long way in just one swipe.
The fat man followed for two steps and his eyes almost fell out.
"After this series of movements, my waist disc will definitely protrude." Wu Xiaoxie imitated Zhang Zhuxun's previous movements and made a few gestures. Sadly, he found that except for being reborn from his mother's belly, he would not be able to complete it at all. .
摑
"Did he not bring a flashlight?" The fat man suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world and almost jumped up on the spot.
"He just passed by without even turning on the lights." Zhang Zhuxun quickly reached the other side, put the little brother down against the wall, then returned to the rope bridge and waved to the fat man,
"Hurry over, I'll show you the bell." With Zhang Zhuxun leading the way, the fat man suddenly became bolder.
"Give it a try, success or failure is only one step away. My sister is still waiting for me at home. I have walked such a long way and it cannot be stopped here." As he said this, he bent down and raised his legs, and went around several times in a row. After a long line, he walked to Zhang Zhuxun's side without any danger.
The bells at the back were spread more densely than before, and Zhang Zhu quickly shouted: "Jump!" The fat man roared, and jumped up, just like he did when he was a child jumping rubber bands, squeezing his feet through the little gaps between the four silk threads. He went in, and then his body followed him. Miraculously, he didn't touch a single thread.
Just when Wu Xiaoxie behind him thought he would land safely on the bridge, the fat man sucking his belly already had a premonition that he was finished.
Sure enough, the moment his feet touched the bridge, his body jumped forward under the influence of inertia. Even though he barely controlled his body, his arm still touched a thread.
At this moment, everything around him seemed to be in slow motion. In the fat man's pupils, which were widened in fear, he saw a slender hand with a shadow, directly passing through several silk threads, steadily using two fingers. Clamped the trembling bell.
With a bang, the stagnant air instantly dissipated and the shadow disappeared. Zhang Zhuxun slowly let go of his hand. The whole process was incredibly steady.
The fat man wiped the cold sweat from his head and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhang Zhuxun.
"Keep walking." Looking at the extremely complicated net in front of him, the fat man almost cried.
"How do we go here? Muyu, why don't you just pinch me unconscious and carry me away." Zhang Zhuxun said calmly: "Your body is not soft enough, I can't carry you through."
"I'm not soft enough? How did that little brother get there?" The fat man pointed at himself and hesitated,
"I have practiced yoga for two days." Zhang Zhangxun had already picked up another bell and lifted up the silk thread hanging the bell at an extremely slow speed. The gap in the middle of the net was slightly larger. , and then looked at the fat man as if you were talking nonsense.
"Believe in yourself, you can do it." He encouraged,
"Don't worry, I will break the bell if you encounter it."
"Damn it!" The fat man cursed, took two deep breaths, spread his arms, made a crane-flare-wing gesture, and then shouted,
"Hey-" Then he jumped up, rushed forward, and passed directly through the gap in the net, and a big horse fell into the water.
The fat man stood up from the water, wiped the water from his face, and looked happy.
"Hurry up." Zhang Zhuxun held the bell and did not move, just urging him,
"It's easy to go from the back. I'm here to watch the innocence. You take the little brother out first, and we will come later."
