"You can only try this thing one by one. When all the light holes are facing something, it means it is a mechanism. Let's try it quickly."
Song Siyuan looked at Yue Guanchao. He walked up the serpentine steps to the city tower and from the crenel wall to the outer city tower. As long as he lay down under the crenellations, he could easily reach the evergreen lanterns.
In the past, he only used the ever-bright lamps and candles as lighting objects, but now he wanted to use these lamps to find out the mechanism, so he had to observe carefully to find something strange.
He looked carefully and saw that the Changming lamp was divided into three parts, consisting of a lamp holder, a candlestick, and a lamp head. The lamp holder was in the shape of a lotus basin, like a bronze lotus flower covering the stone wall. The lotus disk was hollowed out and stretched out. The semi-circular candlestick firmly holds the bronze lamp that is half an arm high, with green patina and exquisite shape!
Most of these bronze lamps are made of single-layered lotuses. The lotus center is hollowed out and filled with snow clam oil. There is a wick that burns forever, illuminating the urn city as bright as day.
Yue Guanchao picked up the two ancient dragon mirrors and tried the bronze lamps one by one. No matter how they were placed, the seven-star beads would always have light spots falling in the air. Seeing that there was only one lamp left in the middle of the city entrance, he couldn't help but become impatient—— If this one is no longer the real owner, then we have to reconsider whether these light spots are clues to the mechanism.
He took a deep breath, picked up the ancient mirror and approached it to the candlestick. After the bronze mirror came close to the candle flame, the seven-star bead image gradually became clearer and brighter, casting like stars on the bronze tree.
This time, Gu Jing did not disappoint him!
The seven star points at different positions fell steadily on their respective branches, exactly matching the seven-star linked pearl statue.
"Yue Guanchao, successful!"
Song Siyuan looked excited. The branches corresponding to the stars must be some kind of clue or mechanism in the corpse place.
"Ma Chang, you are pretty good at qinggong. I'm going to see how clever those bronze branches are."
After Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Ma Chang looked at the dark well pool, jumped up without hesitation, pulled the hanging wire and jumped onto the bronze tree. He slowly walked to the branches illuminated by the stars and observed carefully, his eyes lit up and he looked at everyone:
"My dear friend, these branches have joint marks. They should be mechanisms that can be rotated. Please be careful when I rotate the branches."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone hiding in the tower, and then he started to turn the bronze branches.
Boom, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click
Ma Chang turned the seven bronze branches in order, and then released them when he was completely unable to move. As he turned the branches, everyone could already hear the rumbling and trembling mechanical movements.
Song Siyuan stood by the railing and looked at the dark well pool. The bronze tree trunk had changed. Many uneven grooved vertical pillars protruded from the thick trunk, like wooden stakes inserted into the cliff, extending downward until they could not be seen. The place.
She turned on the flashlight and looked down. The well, which was as empty as a pond just now, had copper stakes inserted into its walls.
These copper piles are connected in parallel and stacked in rows, with a length and width of about one meter, forming a copper pile platform that continues to extend downward!
While she was observing the well pool, Yue Guanchao stuffed the double ancient mirror into his backpack and came down from the tower. He climbed down the railing and jumped onto the first bronze pile turntable. He jumped on it for more than ten steps to make sure it was strong and would not collapse. Then he waved to everyone:
"It's time to come down. Me and Geda are walking in front, Ma Chang and Second Artillery are walking in the back, and the rest are walking in the middle to avoid danger and being unable to deal with it!"
Yue Guanchao assigned the order, everyone packed up their belongings and walked down to the well pool one by one!
The inner wall of the well was painted black, which visually deceived everyone. Only when they stepped down from the well mouth did they realize how wide the well was.
They stood two meters away from the well mouth and looked around. The well was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The inner wall was not made of stone, but was made of real bricks made of black iron. The layers were staggered and built firmly to support the real well. wall.
If you look closely, you will see that the cracks and concave and convex marks of each brick are different, and there are also dark green dragon patterns emerging, which shows that they are well made. The narrowest wellhead is the size of a private house. The more you look down, the more you can see the increasing number of cracks. Wide tree trunks and well walls.
The inner wall of the old water pool is mostly damp and cold. The well in the tomb leads directly to the ground, and it is even bitingly cold, as if entering an ice cellar. It is so cold that people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Everyone was using flashlights and could clearly see the white mist exhaled from their mouths, which was blown away by an unknown coldness, causing their ears to hurt!
Song Siyuan touched the wall of the well. Even though there was no underground water, she could still feel the extreme cold. Her eyes flashed and she guessed: "I don't know where this place leads to, but I think since there is a cold wind blowing through it, I should follow it." There is gas exchange outside~"
"Just take it one step at a time. As long as there aren't any piranhas down there, I'll be satisfied."
Uncle Yu saw a dragon devouring a living person with his own eyes. He just wanted to get the secret recipe of Lao Shizi and get out of the tomb as soon as possible. His eyelids were drooped and he looked depressed.
"Brother Yu, Xiaoyou Yue is still there to hold up the sky if it falls. Although we have gone through hardships along the way, we can still turn danger into good fortune. This means that life should not be cut off. Just rest assured. We have designated If you can, you must go back with all your tail."
As Master Cat spoke, he jumped off the copper stake using his hands and feet. Although no one really believed what he muttered, it actually had an auspicious meaning. Everyone did not refute and climbed down silently.
