Chapter 133 Three Talents Cauldron

Chen Ziyang fell really badly this time. After resting all night, he still felt weak and had pains in his chest. Even when the team was about to set off the next day, he was still lying there, without any trouble. Find a way.Chen Ziyang sat up with difficulty under the support of others, but the pain in his chest made him fall down again.

Only then did Chen Ziyang realize that the wounds on his body had been tied up with gauze. In addition to the pain in his chest, his back was burning from his shoulders to his ribs. It seemed that the wounds on his back were not serious. light.

In desperation, Xiao Na asked Yang Lei, Shan Shishuai and two soldiers to stay, to take care of Chen Ziyang temporarily, and let him hurry up to rest. The others, under the leadership of her and Wang Dawei, moved forward. Continue to search for the mountain space occupied by the human-faced bat.

About half a day later, Xiao Na came back and said to Chen Ziyang: "We have checked all the mountain space in front of us, but there is no way out here. How is your body? Can you persevere?" A little? Otherwise, we're really stuck here. Mr. Chen, it's not that I want to force you, but we're running out of solid food, and you don't really want to spend the rest of your time eating bats Let's live with the meat."

After resting for half a day, Chen Ziyang's spirit improved a lot, and the wound on his chest did not hurt so much anymore.So with the support of Shuai Sanshi, he gritted his teeth and stood up, and walked into the mountain space with Xiao Na.

"We found a flat stone wall at the end of the space. It seemed to be man-made, but there was no exit. Apart from this flat stone wall, the only thing with artificial traces in the entire mountain space was a three-legged It seems that the organ that opens the front passage should be related to this bronze cauldron, but because we are afraid of touching other organs, we dare not move, so we have to ask you to do it."

Xiao Na's sudden change in attitude made Chen Ziyang very uncomfortable. This feeling is like a female man who suddenly becomes gentle and talks to you sweetly by your side. This is simply disgusting. .

It seems that if a person has some skills, it is also useful. At least now Chen Ziyang has received the respect he deserves from Xiao Na, and he is no longer treated like a prisoner.

After walking out of this passage, Chen Ziyang saw a row of corpses on the ground. He counted them, and there were nine corpses in total.Except for the corpses of Xiao Na's five team members, the rest are the two mummified corpses and the corpses of Li Lin and Du Zifeng. Among them, three corpses did not turn into mummified corpses, but the two holes in the chest can be seen It still looks scary.

All the equipment on the corpse had been removed, and they were stacked one by one under the mountain wall on the side of the passage.Looking at the rows of corpses, Chen Ziyang gritted his teeth and made up his mind. His parents are still waiting at home, but he must never want to become like them.

The entire mountain space has been searched by Xiao Na's team members, so Chen Ziyang came directly in front of the cauldron.This big cauldron had helped him when he avoided the attack of the bat with a human face before. Looking at the corpse of the huge bat lying beside the hall, Chen Ziyang felt sick for a while.

Just as Yang Lei told him, the head of this human-faced bat has been smashed by a bullet.A large puddle of blood mixed with minced meat was spread all over the floor. Chen Ziyang estimated that most of the blood should be human blood, the blood of other people sucked into the stomach by this bat.In order to suppress the churning in his stomach, Chen Ziyang turned his attention to the top of the tripod.

Due to the limitation of light, Chen Ziyang didn't know what this tripod looked like.At this time, under the illumination of several flashlights, he could see the specific shape of the tripod clearly.Just as he imagined before, this tripod is very tall, and it should be made of bronze or other materials. This tripod is about two meters high, and a person standing on the ground can't touch the tripod with his hand. on the edge.

The whole tripod is spherical, with a big belly, looks fat, and is very cute. There are three feet under the tripod, and the appearance of the tripod is relatively smooth. Above the three tripod feet, in the middle of the tripod, There are three animal head patterns.This animal head pattern looks a bit like a tiger's head.

I don't know if it's because the casting process of the tripod is not good, or the animal head does not represent a tiger's head at all. When Chen Ziyang looked at it carefully, he felt that the pattern was not very similar to a tiger's head.

From the mouths of the three animal heads, an iron chain stretched out respectively. An iron ball was hung under the iron chain, and a ring was connected under each round iron ball.

"We have already seen that there is nothing inside the tripod except dust, and the inner wall of the tripod is very smooth. I don't know what the tripod is for, but the three iron chains seem to be able to be pulled. But we didn't touch it." Xiao Na told Chen Ziyang the results of their search.

After listening to Xiao Na's words, Chen Ziyang lay on top of the three animal heads and watched carefully. Sure enough, just as Xiao Na said, the three iron chains were inserted into the tripod, and the three animal heads were connected to each other. The mouth is empty, the inside is pitch black, and nothing can be seen.It seems that these three iron chains can indeed be pulled.

Chen Ziyang walked to the flat stone wall again and took a brief look. This stone wall was very smooth, and it was man-made at first glance. It seems that this should be the gate leading to the next passage, but now There is no way to open it, and there is no gap like a door gap on the stone wall.

Now that Xiao Na's subordinates have checked the place carefully, Chen Ziyang didn't waste too much time and returned to the side of the tripod. According to his estimate, this tripod is the key to open the door , So he took out the compass in his pocket, looked carefully, the tripod's tripod coincided with the position of Sancai, just as he guessed, it was a Sancai tripod.

The three talents are divided into heaven, earth and man, but which one is the iron chain that can open this door?You can't be rash in this matter, if you choose the wrong one, you will be finished if you touch other organs.

In order not to miss any details, Chen Ziyang asked Xiao Na's subordinates to lift him into the cauldron and watch carefully.But the inside of the tripod was empty, except for the dust accumulated over the years, there was nothing else inside the tripod. Just when Chen Ziyang wanted to turn over and climb outside the tripod, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

This bronze tripod is more than two meters high, and the feet of the tripod are not very high, that is, about half a meter. Calculated in this way, if the part of the tripod's feet is not counted, the height of the tripod body should be about two meters. Chen Ziyang looked at it. The rim of the tripod, the thickness of the tripod is more than 30 centimeters.

Logically speaking, if a person stands in this tripod, then this person should be completely swallowed by the tripod, and the height of his head will not exceed the edge of the tripod, or basically the height of the edge of the tripod. flat.

But at this time Chen Ziyang was standing in the cauldron, and the height of the rim of the tripod barely exceeded his waist. Chen Ziyang could put his legs on the rim of the tripod as long as he turned over and stepped forward. In other words, there is a distance of more than half a meter between the inner wall of the place under my feet and the outer wall of the tripod.

The inside of the tripod should be empty, it seems to be where the mechanism is. Chen Ziyang stood inside the tripod, stomped his feet vigorously, and knocked on the inner wall of the tripod with his iron tools, and he heard the hollow echo. .Chen Ziyang jumped out of the tripod, and let Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai jump off after him.

Looking carefully around the tripod three times to the left and three times to the right, Chen Ziyang carefully looked at the three animal heads, the iron chain in the mouth of the animal head, and the iron ball under the iron chain several times. Hope to find a clue.But these three animal heads, these three iron chains, and these three iron balls have no signs at all.From the outside, these things look exactly the same.

The mechanism should be in the belly of this tripod, but because there is no clue which chain to pull, Chen Ziyang is still searching carefully.Since there is nothing worth noting on the top of the tripod, what about the bottom of the tripod?Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang endured the pain in his body, bent down, and got under the tripod.

With the flashlight in his hand, Chen Ziyang found something under the tripod at once.Just below the tripod, in the middle of the three tripod legs, there is a protruding spike-like thing, and on this spike, there is a piece of rag hanging, and there is a trace of blood on the spike and the rag.

Looking at the material of this piece of rag, Chen Ziyang found it very familiar. He saw his padded clothes out of the corner of his eye, and Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that this piece of rag was scraped from his own clothes.

When Chen Ziyang was avoiding the attack of the human-faced bat before, he bent down and got under the tripod, and then he felt a burning pain in his back. It was scratched, but now it seems that the thing that scratched him should be the sharp thorn protruding from the bottom of the tripod.The fragments of his clothes and the blood stains hanging on the spike proved his idea.

Stretching out his hand, Chen Ziyang took off the rag hanging from the spike, and at the same time carefully looked at the spike and the things around the spike. The spike was not straight, but facing toward There is a slight bend in one direction. From this point of view, this persistence is somewhat similar to a hook.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly looked towards the direction where the hook was bent, which happened to be facing an animal head, and the iron ball hanging from the iron chain hanging from the animal head's mouth was also hanging in this direction. Looking at the ring on the iron ball, Chen Ziyang had an idea.

He hurriedly asked several people under Xiao Na to pull the iron chain.A few people pulled the iron chain out over a meter long, and then Chen Ziyang asked them to take the iron ball under the tripod, and hung the ring on the iron ball on the hook .

After the ring was hung up, it fit the hook-shaped spikes very well, so Chen Ziyang asked them to pull up the iron chain again.As the iron chain was pulled again, the hook moved slightly.

Although the tripod was very heavy, with the movement of the hook, the huge bronze tripod fell down slowly in one direction when several people pulled it. The direction the tripod fell was exactly the direction the hook pointed.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang knew that his method should be correct. After the tripod was tilted by 45 degrees, it did not continue to fall, but stopped. There was a sound from below.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dangdang..." Dangdang's voices became louder and tighter. It was obvious that the tilt of the tripod pulled some mechanism under everyone's feet.And these institutions are operating step by step, playing their due role.

Just when everyone was disturbed by these bangs, suddenly from the direction of the flat stone wall, there was a sound of rock rubbing against the ground.

Xiao Na quickly led the people to run in that direction, and Chen Ziyang and the others also walked there slowly.The stone wall, which was still flat just now, unexpectedly has a door-like stone wall protruding obliquely. It looks like a small door opened on this stone wall.

But I don't know if it's because the opening method is incorrect, or because the mechanism has been in disrepair for a long time. After the small door opened a gap slightly, it stopped moving.

Shuai Shanshi and Yang Lei quickly took out the engineering shovel behind them, and inserted the engineering shovel into the gap of the door. The two of them shouted slogans together, and using the engineering shovel as a crowbar with all their strength, unexpectedly pulled the engineering shovel into the gap of the door. The stone door was slowly pried open.

When the stone door opened, a gust of cold wind blew out.After the stone door opened to a certain angle, other people rushed forward and pushed the stone door open with both hands.

The two team members shined their flashlights on the back of the stone gate. The space behind the stone gate was small, but there was a circular stone staircase extending downward like a spiral staircase.A gust of cold wind blew up from the bottom of the stone gate, and the two team members with the flashlights shivered at the same time. I don't know where the bottom is leading, and I don't know how deep it is, but it can be seen from the cold air, This channel can never be short.

Under Xiao Na's arrangement, two soldiers took the lead, and the others lined up, and arranged the injured people like Chen Ziyang in the middle of the line. Walking down a spiral staircase, because the stairs did not have handrails or anything like that, so all the people were walking with their backs against the wall, carefully avoiding falling into the gap in the middle of the stone staircase.

The further you go down, the cooler the wind blowing up from the bottom of the stairs. The team walked for more than an hour, but they didn't see the end of the stairs.After walking a long way, a thin layer of ice had formed on the stairs, making the already slippery stairs even more slippery.

At this time, the temperature in the stair space has dropped below zero, and the cold wind blowing up from the bottom of the stairs made everyone feel a bone-chilling cold, and even a layer of condensed frost appeared on the beards of several team members .
