Tianwei Chapter 246 Alive (4)
The old Taoist priest and I didn't want to stop them. There is a saying that goes, "A friend dies but the channel does not die." After hanging out with the old Taoist priest for a long time, my heart gradually changed.
The four stone doors were all very tall, at least five meters high and two meters wide. They were almost integrated with the surrounding stone walls, and there was not even a gap to be seen. I tried to lead the Taoist priests to go straight through, but perhaps there were too many people, and we could not move forward after only less than seven meters.
But this is already surprising enough, seven meters! These four stone doors are actually more than two meters thick...
The weight alone was at least hundreds of thousands of pounds. How could a few people push it open? Moreover, the stone door was too tightly attached to the mountain wall, and the friction made it even more difficult to open.
I couldn't help but mutter: Which pervert invented this gate? It's so thick that I can't even check the water meter.
It seems that there is another passage here, Yang Fu said on the side.
I cried out and looked at him in astonishment.
A stone door weighing ten thousand jin cannot be opened by human power. If you could not pass through it, who would know that this door is so thick that it is unimaginable? I am afraid that these people think that the stone door is at most one foot thick and weighs thousands of gold, so they are persistent in studying it. It is estimated that the owner of the stone door himself wants to confuse people and lead them into a dead end. Yang Fu explained in detail.
I thought it made sense. If you can't go through the stone door, who knows that it weighs hundreds of thousands of pounds? If someone can't push a door open in real life, they will definitely think, is it locked? Is it stuck somewhere? Is it because I didn't push hard enough? No one would think about whether the door can really be opened.
This is the inertial thinking of human beings. The people who designed the stone gate had already understood the human psychology to a very deep level. No wonder many modern archaeological teams, even if they found some ancient tombs, admitted that it was difficult to completely dig up the tombs with current technology. Because it not only tests your technology, but also tests people's psychology.
Walk around, you should be able to find other entrances, Yang Fu said.
I nodded and took them to wander around. We went through this side and that side. But after going through all the surrounding walls, we still couldn't find the entrance.
Underground, or above. Yang Fu said: There must be an entrance here, otherwise there would be no point in building four stone doors.
I agreed, and the Taoist priest had no objection. Then, we walked around more than seven meters underground, but still found no clues. The final target was above the forehead.
There were empty rocks there, and I took them both up and walked through the rocks.
It turns out that Yang Fu was right. The real entrance was built right there.
It was a square passage, two people high, and could accommodate several people walking side by side. It was pitch black in front, and even in the void world, it was still difficult to see clearly in front.
I was about to lead them forward when Yang Fu stopped me.
What's wrong? I asked.
Wait a minute... Yang Fu pulled my hand and looked around carefully. I didn't know what he was doing, so I asked curiously: Did you drop something?
I'm looking for the mechanism to open the passage, Yang Fu said.
Huh? What are you looking for?
Let the people down come up, Yang Fu said.
This time I was even more surprised. Isn't it good for the three of us to be at the front? Why do we have to let some competitors come up?
It's a bit weird here, I'm not sure. Although we're at the front, we're also the first to be in danger. Instead of crossing the river by feeling the stones, it's better to learn from others and try new things, Yang Fu explained.
Oh... that's not good, I said.
What's wrong with that? Those people are also after the treasure. If they want to get it, they have to pay for it. Moreover, they have been trying to find the entrance. Now we are helping them to open the mechanism. Logically, they should thank us. Yang Fu said.
I was sweating all over my forehead. Why did this sound like a skit by Zhao Benshan ? But when Yang Fu said it, I didn't find it funny, I just felt creepy.
I subconsciously glanced at the old Taoist priest. His face was calm and it didn't make any sense to me. I was stunned. These practitioners looked like they grew up eating coal. They were so dark.
Soon, Yang Fu found the mechanism. He ordered: After I open the mechanism, you immediately take me into the void space to avoid being discovered by them.
I hummed and let go of his hand. Yang Fu fiddled with the ground for some reason, and heard a crack, followed by a loud rumble from the rock. A huge rock fell, almost smashing the man below into a pulp.
In the midst of the dust and smoke, I quickly grabbed Yang Fu's hand and pulled him back into the void. After escaping into the void, Yang Fu smiled and said: This is good.
What a little fox!
Looking at the indifferent old Taoist, I cursed in my heart: This old fox.
A young fox, an old fox, so what am I, sandwiched between them? A tiger? I have nothing in common with them.
Meow……
The people below poked their heads out, carefully moved to the bottom of the passage, and looked up carefully. Not long after, a brave man came up to check. I watched him walk a distance into the passage, and then he ran back in ecstasy and said to the people below: This is the real passage! Found it, it's here! Come up quickly!
At this time, another passage was bustling with people, and more and more people came out. Many of them were covered in blood and looked murderous. It seemed that a fierce battle had taken place in the tunnel where even the back could not be straightened.
A few people ran past us, and the three of us quickly followed, thinking about how to eat the crabs later.
Because the passage was wide and high, everyone ran very fast. The light was not a torch, so it would not flicker due to running fast. The passage was illuminated by the light, and the mountain walls on both sides were clearly visible.
This was obviously dug by humans. What surprised me was that I could see not very clear traces of wheel tracks on the ground.
The old Taoist squatted down and stroked it with his hand. He made a rough estimate and said: It was left behind a long time ago and is almost covered by dust.
I was even more surprised. How could there be wheel marks here? Looking at the marks, they were about a palm wide, some light and some heavy, and obviously not modern traces.
Did a vehicle enter the cave thousands of years ago after it was built? This is unlikely. After such a long time, any traces should have been completely buried.
But if we exclude this possibility, the following speculations will make people break out in a cold sweat.
Because what I was thinking was, would there be people driving by here occasionally?
Who would drive through an ancient cave from two thousand years ago?
Zhonghuang Mountain was originally the place where Nuwa mended the sky, and it was extremely sacred. But now, it has become extremely strange because of this strange cave.
Why did the Great Qin King thousands of years ago dig a cave under this mountain? What kind of secrets are buried here?
In the face of the unknown, the so-called history seems confusing. At this time, my curiosity about the cave itself has exceeded my expectations for the fairy fruit.
I continued running forward for a while, and the road was blocked again. This passage was very flat, with almost no slope. This reminded me of the stone gate below. Maybe the stone gate was carved into a shape, and there was no way to pass behind it. To open such a "gate" is equivalent to wanting to overthrow the entire Zhonghuang Mountain.
This time, there were still four doors in front of us.
These four gates are more magnificent and taller. I looked up and looked around. I roughly estimated that the width is about ten meters and the height is more than fifteen meters. This can no longer be called a gate, it is simply a thick wall.
On the stone door, the King of Qin's decree was still engraved, and the characters were larger than before. Perhaps the years were too hasty to take away many of the writings, so the things on the door seemed blurry but still recognizable.
The people who had come before us pushed hard, but they still couldn't push it open after a long time with red faces. They shook their heads, dispersed, and searched around. Two people even used Taoism to hit the rocks above, trying to find the real entrance.
Could it be another one of those deceptive “mountain gates”... I muttered to myself.
You will know after you give it a try, Yang Fu said.
I made a sound and led them both to the back of the door.
One meter, two meters, when I got to three meters, I was desperate. It was too deceptive! Which pervert likes to cheat people so much! Carving the door frame is free!
But after taking two more steps forward, the view suddenly opened up and we actually passed through the door. This stone door was only about three meters thick.
I couldn't believe it, so I looked back and found that the wall was slanted. The higher you go, the more it slants, and of course, the thinner it becomes.
At the top, there is a row of corridors with arrow-like bumps and depressions. I was stunned when I saw it. Could this really be a city wall?
It seems that those people worked in vain. Yang Fu smiled and said: I didn't expect that this is a stone gate that is thick at the bottom and narrow at the top. If we break through from the top, it probably won't take too much effort. Look at the wall, it's only about one meter wide, and the concave part may only need a few Taoist attacks to break it.
The person who designed this door really put a lot of effort into it... I said with emotion.
Yes, haha. Yang Fu laughed: I don't know who is so good at making people think and follow him. It seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Well, what should we do now? I'm afraid this thing can't be opened easily, right? I asked .
It should be, but we can give them some hints, Yang Fu said.
Hint? I looked at him in confusion.
Yang Fu smiled, let go of my hand, found a few stones nearby, and threw them upwards with force.
In this empty mountain belly, the sound of stones hitting the mountain wall kept echoing, very clear. There was a faint noise coming from the stone gate, and Yang Fu threw stones one after another. Not long after, a cloud of dust and smoke filled the stone gate, and the fluctuations of Taoism kept coming.
He clapped his hands, smiled and said: Done.
I was stunned. This kid was really a smiling tiger. Fortunately, he was my cousin, otherwise, I would have been killed by him.
