999: Exhausted
After Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he lay on the ground sweating profusely.
After a long time, he sat up straight and sat on the ground, looking around, and then at the entrance of the cave.
Look at the steps again.
There was a moment of distraction and incomprehension in a daze.
He crawled over to the step seal again, squatted down and carefully studied the step print, using his common sense and what he had seen to try to see through the mystery in it.
In short, the temptation just now knew that these marks could not be guessed, and they must be regular.
But how exactly is it set?
Xu Cheng said that he wanted to try again, and he used his speed to quickly step through all nine steps from the first step.
It turned out to be the same as before, touching the mechanism, but he dodged quickly, and this time he easily dodged without using a tortoise shell.
Xu Cheng walked back and continued to try.
Just now he made a bet on the first step.
Step on a random step, and the mechanism will be activated.
He dodged and tried his first kick.
Or a medium organ.
After trying five or six feet in a row, he panted and said, "There are so many hidden weapons in this mechanism?" Won't it be finished? After such a long time, these arrows will not become moldy? ”
Spit and complain, but still can't be hit by arrows, after all, the arrows are poisonous, most of these white bones are also masters, it is estimated that the arrows are not fatal to them, and the fatal ones should be poisonous!
Xu Cheng stepped on the first kick and did not trigger the mechanism.
He breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, it shows that these footprints are indeed organs.
Xu Cheng continued to guess the second kick, the remaining 8 footprints, but his second kick was wrong, and the mechanism was triggered as usual, but fortunately it was dodged.
Come back and step on the first foot and guess the second one.
In this way, after the whole day had passed, at night, the white light outside the waterfall had dimmed.
Xu Cheng squatted in the corner and nibbled on bread, and his hands directly poked out of the hole to catch the water from the waterfall, not to mention, in this environment, there was a different taste. After eating and drinking, he went back and forth to light a fire and continue his research on the institution.
He had already tried to the seventh step, and the remaining two steps were actually easy to guess. When he guessed the eighth step, there was only one last step left that felt that he should be able to open this heavy stone door, but who knew that there was no movement when he stepped on the last step.
Xu Cheng hurriedly ran over and pushed the stone door hard, but there was still no response.
He looked at the mechanism, then at the door.
"I'll go, don't say that these steps are still repeated?" Xu Cheng had a black line, and he felt that he was about to collapse. It's been a whole day.
He looked at the waterfall outside, it was already night, and when he went out at this time, he must not be able to spend the night in the village.
If he left like this, it was obviously not his style, and since he came, he was unwilling to go inside to take a look.
In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that it is nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, but Xu Cheng feels that since his father can ask Lin Dad to tell him that when it is a last resort, he can come here to have a look, which means that the Xu family's genealogy must record that there is not necessarily just gold and silver jewelry here, and there must be something that may be able to help him.
But Xu Cheng was full of curiosity.
"If he can help me, then he must have helped my father in the first place, why didn't he come here?" Xu Cheng pondered.
If it was just because his father thought that he couldn't live with the family and deliberately didn't come, it would be impossible, when life and death were at stake, all taboos should be looked down upon, after all, this had reached the point where the Xu family was desperate, but why didn't he come?
I knew that Xu Cheng should have asked Xu Banxian this question, or did Xu Banxian and his father have no way to do this?
Xu Cheng walked over to the mechanism, and after quickly walking the previous 9 steps again, he stopped, and just as he was about to study the 10th step, he suddenly had a feeling of explosion in his mind.
Right!
These nine steps would be nothing if he stepped on them slowly just now, but just now, after he walked quickly, there was a familiar feeling!
That's right, a familiar feeling.
Xu Cheng subconsciously took those 9 steps again from the beginning!
He seemed to know some of the next step, but he also had to try, so he stepped on the tenth step on the basis of this ninth step!
And then there were no traps around it!
Xu Cheng's brain shook violently, and he immediately stepped on the next step!
The trap still hasn't been triggered!
His whole body was excited.
I see!
He understood what the principle of this mechanism was.
This step print is designed around the Xu family's 'Lost Trace Fist's 'Lost Pace' formula!
This mechanism belongs to the pace mantra of the maze mantra!
He understood why his father couldn't come in and open this place, because his father didn't learn Lost Trace Boxing, and at that time, it was estimated that the Lost Trace Fist formula was stolen by Zhang Chenfeng.
And the mantras and skills of the Lost Trace Fist are difficult to read or see through, otherwise the entire Dragon Group will not be able to learn it, Zhang Chenfeng tried to find a successor to replace his mantle, but including Beishan and others could not learn it, which shows how difficult it is, his father may be talented, but he is obviously not suitable for the Lost Trace Fist, because he can't open this treasure house?
After Xu Cheng quit at this time, he began the pace of the Lost Trace Fist, stepped on this step as a practice and revisited the steps of the Lost Trace Fist, and when he stepped on 27 feet, the heavy stone door suddenly opened.
Xu Cheng was overjoyed, and after quickly exiting the agency, he picked up his backpack, food, and fire and ran into the stone gate.
There are some iron shelves piled up in this one.
The shelves are full of all kinds of weapons.
Yes, the weapons used by the old Jianghu people, such as knives, swords, halberds, wolf's tooth hammers, bone whips, spears, etc., are all available.
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Won't it be all there is to it?" That's right, in the era of cold weapons, these tools were the murder weapons at that time, and there were at least tens of thousands of tools in them, which was enough to arm a mountain at that time. ”
To tell the truth, these weapons are smelted from high-quality materials, and even if they are used now, they must be worth a lot of money, not to mention that they are still antiques.
However, these are completely useless to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng sat on a step and looked at the weapon shelves around him, he should have thought that what the ancients were reluctant to give up was too low for modern people.
On those weapon shelves, there was not even a book on kung fu, which disappointed Xu Cheng.
Before Xu Cheng came in, he had done research on this mountain, and he guessed that this cave should not be so shallow, and there was still a deep part. So, he looked for a deeper mechanism in this floor?
Xu Cheng searched for a long time, but found nothing.
He looked at the weapons that were neatly arranged, and in curiosity, he pulled a weapon in the past, but it touched the mechanism, and a short blade directly stabbed Xu Cheng's calf, making him suddenly kneel down and feel a little painful.
Xu Cheng exhaled, and analyzed with a very out-of-the-box thinking: "It seems that these weapons are not so easy for people to get, since they are afraid that someone will take weapons, then there must be a mechanism that has also been made into a weapon, otherwise they will not use hidden weapons to cover up the mechanism." ”
