Chapter 227 Alarmism
Chapter 227 Alarmism
The fat man sighed: "I'm not scared, I'm just tired."
"From the time we entered the tomb until now, we have hardly had any free time. Every time we went in, we were on the verge of death. We didn't even have time to breathe. What Qin Shihuang built is not a mausoleum at all, it is simply hell."
"Does he think of himself as the King of Hell?"
Lao Hu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, stop complaining. No matter if he is the King of Hell or the King of Ghosts, as long as we are united as brothers, do we still need to be afraid of him?!"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You are right. No matter what kind of king he is, if he meets us brothers, he will destroy himself!"
Xu Feng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, everyone get ready, let's go into the maze."
According to what Xu Feng detected, it wouldn't make much difference which channel you took.
So they just picked a passage at random and went in.
Xu Feng walked in front, using his spiritual sense to explore the way. Although he could not find the correct route 100%, he could greatly avoid walking into a dead end.
I walked about a hundred meters.
Sudden.
Xu Feng heard an extremely slight sound, which he would not have been able to hear if it were not for his amazing hearing.
He stopped immediately.
Seeing this, the people behind also stopped.
"What's wrong?!"
The fat man asked in a low voice.
"Shh!"
Xu Feng raised his index finger, signaling him to be quiet.
The fat man immediately shut his mouth.
Then they saw that the passage not far in front of them suddenly and silently shifted to the right.
The maze began to spin.
They watched helplessly as a straight passage that was originally dozens of meters long split in the middle and moved away, and then another passage that turned right at a 90-degree angle followed and seamlessly connected with the half of the passage they were in.
The whole process was silent.
The two channels were connected without any problems.
Xu Feng and his friends stepped forward and touched the joint, only to find that apart from a gray seam, there were no other traces.
It seems that this passage originally turned right at a right angle.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed what had just happened.
"It's amazing! It's simply a work of art!"
"I guess there should be a big turntable under this maze to help the entire maze rotate and move."
"You're right. The wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing. How did they come up with such an amazing mechanism?!"
"I'm even more curious. This mechanism has been running for more than 2,000 years. What kind of power does it use? And how is it maintained? There has been no malfunction for more than 2,000 years. Its quality and performance are simply amazing!"
"And did you notice that when it rotates, there is no sound at all? How is it possible? If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't have noticed that it was rotating at all."
Everyone was talking in amazement.
Xu Feng explored the road and found that the road condition ahead seemed to be okay and did not seem to be a dead end, so he continued to move forward.
while walking.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
Just when Xu Feng felt that the journey was not going too smoothly, suddenly, the bricks under his feet cracked and sank a few centimeters.
In an instant, a muffled buzzing sound was heard in the passage, as if a string was being tightened!
Xu Feng was shocked.
I could already hear the "click" sound of the mechanism starting.
However, Xu Feng had seen many big scenes and quickly calmed down.
He stood there motionless, ready to make his move.
Zhang Qiling, who was walking at the end of the team, appeared beside Xu Feng in an instant like a ghost: "Be careful."
Xu Feng replied calmly: "I know."
When the others saw this, they immediately knew that something had happened.
They all stood still, afraid of touching something and causing unnecessary trouble. Some people clenched their fists, their palms were full of cold sweat, and they couldn't even hold them.
"Master Xu, did you run into a trap?"
The fat man came forward.
Xu Feng nodded: "Yeah."
Zhang Qiling leaned down and tried to listen to the movement under the floor tiles.
Everyone held their breath when they saw this.
Two or three seconds later, Zhang Qiling stood up.
The fat man couldn't wait to ask: "Did you hear anything?!"
"There is a sound of water."
Zhang Qiling is as concise and clear as always.
"The sound of water?"
The fat man frowned.
Lao Hu also lay down on the ground and listened attentively.
After a while, he also stood up and said, "There is indeed a sound of water, like water flowing under my feet."
Fatty: "Could it be that this maze is built on a pond?"
Xu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Stop talking nonsense. Didn't I just say that there is a huge mechanism under our mechanism? Where did the pool of water come from? I suspect it might be an underground river, using the water flow to drive the operation of the mechanism. That's why after more than 2,000 years, the power of the mechanism is still there."
Old Hu couldn't help but sigh: "It's been more than 2,000 years, won't the underground river dry up?" Xu Feng: "Who knows, maybe this underground river is the largest in the entire Mount Li. Okay, can anyone tell what this mechanism is?"
Zhang Rishan shook his head. Old Hu lowered his head to think and the fat man shut up.
Only Zhang Qiling said silently: "Nine Sons Linked Together."
"Nine Sons in a Row?"
Xu Feng asked curiously.
Old Hu also suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiling in surprise.
Zhang Qiling said calmly: "I'm not sure."
Xu Feng: "..."
He looked at Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, do you know something?"
Old Hu gritted his teeth and said, "The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art has detailed explanations of various traps. I have read the detailed explanation of the Nine Sons Linked Ring before."
"The so-called Nine Links is a large group of interlocking mechanisms. For example, as soon as you step on the floor, a hidden crossbow will shoot at you. If you dodge, the walls on both sides will suddenly move and trap you to death. Even if you can dodge, a lot of mercury will emerge from under your feet and drown you in the mercury pool."
"From ancient times to the present, countless famous tomb robbers have died under this kind of chain trap array."
"A nine-linked mechanical array like this would take at least 20 to 30 years from drawing the blueprint to making it. Usually only the tombs of emperors have this kind of configuration."
"Old Hu, you are exaggerating too much."
The fat man curled his lips and said, "This kind of mechanism must be very thrilling for ordinary grave robbers, but for us, it should be nothing, right?"
Lao Hu: "That's because you haven't really seen the power of this kind of mechanical array."
At this point, Lao Hu suddenly paused, then his expression changed drastically, and he asked, "Lao Zhang, does the sound of water underground sound like mercury to you?!"
Zhang Qiling was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious: "Resembling."
Lao Hu's face suddenly turned very ugly.
The fat man asked in confusion: "What happened to the mercury?"
Lao Hu: "Mercury is poisonous. If Master Xu steps on the mercury pool's mechanism, it will be troublesome!"
"Then what are you waiting for!"
"Hurry up and find a way to break the mechanism!"
The fat man was startled.
Zhang Rishan's face also changed: "If it's a mercury pool, it's really troublesome! Mercury pools are poisonous. Once a mercury pool is exposed, the air will be polluted!"
When the others heard this, their faces turned ugly.
