Volume III Chapter 25 The Circulatory Mechanism

"Little girl, if you think about it again, there can't be no way out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The scale of the mausoleum is so large that it is impossible for the owner who made the mausoleum not to leave a couple of exits. ”

Feihe said while walking, it was really sad, he couldn't get in and out, it was a dead end.

Du Qiuyan said: "The five of us swear to cancel the assassination of Leng Yue Gongzi, and we will give up this task." According to our Assassins' rules, we don't give up on a mission easily, but if we do, we will definitely do it. Hu'er just tell us, where is the exit? ”

For the sake of his brother's life, Du Qiu even made an oath to give up the task, and the reality has forced them to this point, which is also a big helplessness in life.

According to Hu Ji's thoughts, what she cares about most is this cold moon boy, as long as his safety is guaranteed, she should be able to ask something. The mausoleum is so big, everyone walked for half an hour, and what they saw was still a circular corridor, which was getting longer and longer, and it made people feel impetuous.

Hu Ji sighed and said: "Brother Du, it's not that my little sister won't tell you, this mausoleum is buried by Hu'er's ancestors, and she is timid when she enters the scene, and every time she only walks to the periphery, she doesn't want to go deeper." The ancestors are dead, so why bother with their rest? I really don't know anything about what's in there. ”

Well, this sentence completely dispelled the hearts of several people, and it is really not easy to find a way to survive in a strange mausoleum. They were Assassins, not Captains of the Golden School, and it would be an insult to them if the Assassins went to learn the ways of tomb robbers.

This mausoleum has already walked two floors, I don't know how many more floors to walk, only by going to the depths, can we find out if there is any other path to go. In addition to weapons, everyone didn't even carry ordinary ropes, let alone food. According to the estimation of Ying Zheng and others, if they can't find an exit within three days, they will all starve to death here.

Lige suddenly stopped everyone, shook his head and said: "I can't go any further, do you see it, there is a small tomb in front of you, and often when such a building appears, there will be many mechanisms." Especially between the ravines, there is definitely mercury flowing, and if we are not careful, we will all die in it. ”

Looking up, a temple did appear in the distance, and the surrounding lights showed ripples. There are all kinds of signs that these ripples are produced by the flow of water, but whether it is living water or not, no one dares to say.

Du Qiu sighed and said, "It was sent from mercury, and under the temple, there was a large mercury, and these mercury gathered together to push the mechanism of the entire mausoleum. If we make a mistake and mercury leaks into us, we will surely die. ”

Mercury is commonly known as mercury, a toxic substance, and can also be used for medicine. Mercury is usually used in the poisons prepared by the Assassins, so they are no strangers to it. Mercury is volatile, and in such a large mercury gathering place, the temple must be foggy.

If the speed is fast, everyone can rush through, but if the passage of the temple is too long, if you stay in it for a long time, life is still alive. Everyone is undecided, and they specialize in art, but they are only assassins, and they don't know a little about tomb robbing.

Ying Zheng doesn't understand either, but he has a lot of knowledge. I saw him knocking on the ground for a while, and along the direction of the temple, he took a few steps and knocked a few times. He listened again, looked up at the route, and looked up at the top of the tomb.

Hu Ji asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you listening to?" ”

Ying Zheng replied: "I'm listening to the exit position." ”

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said, "We came to this mausoleum and were not suffocated, which means that there is an exit to the outside world here for us to breathe. I listened for a long time just now, and I found that the whole corridor was in a circle, and the further down I went, the closer the burial place of the mausoleum became. ”

"And under the corridor, there is always the sound of mercury flowing, and the mercury here is not dead, but flowing. The only thing we can do is to walk in the direction of mercury, but we must not disrupt the flow of mercury. ”

"Mercury is poisonous, and the flowing mercury is too harmful to us, so why can't we let it stop?" Ah Fangnu asked for the first time, she really didn't know this.

Li Ge understood, and said directly: "A cycle of flowing mercury, there will definitely be several nodes, if we destroy a certain node, the mercury will not flow." If the mercury leaks, we will run for our lives; The heavier ones will shake and pollute the entire mausoleum, not only will the mausoleum not allow people to survive, but even the living animals within a hundred miles of the disappeared Yueling Village will definitely die. ”

Ah Fangnu opened her mouth wide when she heard this, the mercury she had seen before was only a small amount of a few spoons, and she really didn't know such a large amount of mercury. Ying Zheng even affirmed Lige's statement in his heart, if there is a large-scale leakage of mercury, it will be comparable to the nuclear explosion in the previous life, and it will even be more serious.

In ancient times, people protected their tombs too well, and mercury at this time had its own natural belt, which could be used without processing. Many tomb owners like to fill their tombs with mercury, and when the owner dies, the descendants bury them, digging through the mercury channels and sealing the tombs. The owner's corpse will not decay in the environment of mercury, and it can play a role in preventing theft.

In front of everyone, this is such a scene. In order to find a way out, it is necessary to pass ahead, and the situation in the temple is unknown.

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "Mercury is colorless and tasteless, it's okay to inhale a small amount, but you can't inhale a large amount." There was no choice but to open the temple, and then everyone ran away quickly, waiting for an hour, and the mercury in the temple was evaporated. ”

Lige nodded: "The stupidest method, but it is absolutely feasible, if there is mercury mist in the temple, leaking it will not affect the flowing mercury circulation." The main thing is that there must be a large number of mechanisms inside, and it depends on our skills. ”

Yezhu said helplessly: "If we can get out alive, we will definitely learn the skills of those thieves in the future, although we can't agree with the miscellaneous arts, but as long as we can survive, it is worth learning." ”

Several people nodded, like this case, if a thief came, any mechanism could be ambushed, and everyone would not need to use such a stupid method. This also reminded Ying Zheng that while developing his power in the future, he should also pay attention to talents in this area. There are not many talents, but there are few people who can have special skills.

Ah Fangnu stopped everyone and whispered: "Let me open the door, your strength is not as good as mine, if even I can't get by, you will want to turn back." There is not much time, and if we stay here for a quarter of an hour, we will have less hope of living. ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, you really can't stay here for long. Since we knew that the ground was covered with mercury, it was a barrel of explosives, and although mercury did not explode, it was more harmful than an explosion.

Ying Zheng even knows that not to mention food, there is not even a little water. It takes three days to starve to death, but it only takes two days to die of thirst, Ah Fangnu is a master in the middle stage of Dacheng, and only by letting her explore the way can everyone have a chance to live.

The footsteps walked forward slowly, without making a sound, getting closer and closer to the temple, and the woman of the house was full of strength. Everyone also watched carefully at every step she walked, silently remembering the location of the bricks on the ground, as long as it was not the bricks she walked, they would not go.

When they reached a distance of fifty meters from the temple, the bricks on the ground were loose, and two rows of arrows were rapidly shot from the walls. Ah Fangnu flipped and moved, shuttling back and forth between the arrows, running forward, and the arrows were more and more dense, and she could only retreat quickly.

When it was fifty meters away, the arrow stopped firing. Everyone was terrified, if there was no Dacheng master to explore the way, under such intensive shooting, it would be difficult to retreat without hanging the color. The mausoleum is so dangerous that if you are injured and bleeding, you will basically not survive, and you will not be able to walk the rest of the way.

"Fifty meters away is safe, and if you go further, there will be a mechanism." Ah Fang Nu said loudly.

Lige shouted loudly: "Fang girl, the arrows cannot be opened with a sword, and judging from the arrows shot from both sides of the wall, this mechanism is also circulating. When the left wall shoots out, it will enter the hole on the right to fill, and so on. If an arrow doesn't return to reload halfway, something else will definitely happen, and we can't afford to take any chances. ”

Ah Fangnu nodded, Lige was born in the Mo family, and she knew some tricks, which was stronger than all of them. But Lige didn't learn the trick at all, and he knew so much, and he only listened to the words of the Mo disciples. But it is enough to know this, at least in the basic difficulties, so that everyone will not make mistakes.

Ying Zheng also gestured from a distance, and sighed: "Such a passage, even if an army of tens of thousands of people comes, it will not be able to pass." With only five people walking side by side, each mechanism is a loop, and if you make a mistake, you will die. ”

"If there is no master to explore the right way, we can only fill it with human lives and fill it up until the arrows are shot, but the scale of the mausoleum is so large, we don't know how many arrows there are. What's even more terrifying is that if the arrows don't return to reload, no one knows if the mercury will leak. ”

Several people nodded, the matter is as simple as that, you can't destroy the mechanism circulation of the mausoleum, but you must find the right way. This task, except for Ah Fangnu, the rest of the people did not have the confidence to complete it.

Judging from the scale of the mausoleum, there are many such temples, and such a mechanism appeared in the first one, not to mention the later ones.

Ying Zheng said to a few people: "Everyone, everyone has seen the crisis, if anyone wants to kill me, wait until after the mausoleum." At this time, what we need is exquisite cooperation, and only by uniting together can we overcome countless difficulties. ”

Lige didn't complain anymore, and said seriously: "I have been in the Mo family, this is only the first palace, and the mechanism is already so powerful. I'm sure that the person who designed this mechanism must have come from my Mohist ancestors. Yinghua Gongzi, the grievances between you and me will be counted later, at least not in the mausoleum, and not in Xiaohu'er. ”

Ying Zheng nodded, he didn't dare to be complimented by his temperament, but he could still do what he promised. What he appreciates even more is that his heart for children, especially for Hu'er, is absolutely not sincere in terms of interests.

And the five brothers also nodded, having already sworn that they would not cause trouble at this juncture.

But how many such difficulties await them on the road ahead? No one knows, so they can only watch Ah Fangnu test step by step......
