Chapter 17 (7)

The young man digged ingeniously, first opened up the four corners of the wall, leaving only a thick piece of earth and rock in the middle to block the road, which was not useful. He then handed the Luoyang shovel to Chu Menglin and said, "You dig the last shovel, and this road will be opened, and the credit will be yours." Both Dodor avoided the hole for a few steps.

Chu Menglin smiled and said, "You know what you know, it's mine." She waved a shovel at the earth and stones, and the soil fell all over the ground with a "rattle" sound. Chu Menglin was very excited and rushed inward. A "squeak" sound came from deep, with a sharp voice. Then several red lights flashed, and a group of black bats flew out with their wings. Chu Menglin was the first to be attacked by the bats, and several bloody mouths were instantly caught on her face. She waved her hands to drive away, but two bats fell on her right forearm, tearing her sleeves apart with a "swish". At the same time, flames burst out from the cracked area, extending continuously, burning upwards. In the blink of an eye, the sleeves of the right arm were burned out, revealing a white arm.

Chu Menglin was furious and pulled out the afterimage sword and pointed it at them. She flew past a bat. Unexpectedly, its claws kicked on the sword and flew down to Chu Menglin's head. Her hat had been taken before entering the ancient tomb. As soon as her claws touched the top of her head, even her hair was burning. Chu Menglin screamed in pain, slammed her belt, cut off her belt with a sword, pulled off her outer cloak, drove away the bats. The bat claws were unknown. They could ignite the fire when they touched the cloth. Soon she pinched a ball of fire in her hand, and the flames burned her fingers and hurriedly threw them away.

The young man thought to himself, "You must never let this fire bat get close to you!" He drew out his long sword, aimed at a bat rushing towards him, jumped up and slashed the bat from top to bottom, and split the bat in half. After the bat landed, his wings trembled a few times, and then he died. Duoduo also waved his sword and slashed Chu Menglin out of the encirclement, allowing her to extinguish the flames above her head on the side. The bats gushed out from the cave and were endless, and they were scattered in the air. Soon, the front hall would be everywhere. If they were surrounded by several people at the same time and killed one, the rest would take advantage of the momentum to attack and be difficult to rescue.

Chu Menglin intentionally helped and shouted, "Turn them together!" Duoduo and the young man couldn't take care of themselves, and no one was able to pay attention to them.

Chu Menglin was unwilling to let go of her left arm sleeve and threw it into the air. Immediately a group of bats were attracted to them and scrambled to fight with her claws. Chu Menglin took out the small grenade she carried with her and smashed it to the bats. The grenade was offered to the Jiying Cult in the past by the disciples of the Pili Hall, and formed an alliance to make friends. The grenade exploded in the bat group, breaking the bodies of the bats, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. The aftermath of the explosion was strong, which made the entire tomb chaotic. Chu Menglin exclaimed and cheered loudly. Seeing that this move worked, she was so happy that she took out a few more grenades, trying to use the same trick again.

When the young man was fighting with the bat, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and then he felt the ground shaking violently. At first, he was puzzled by Chu Menglin's clever behavior. He was shocked and screamed: "Are you crazy? You exploded a few more times. If the logs shake violently and the fine sand poured down, we will all be buried alive! Haven't I reminded you?"

Chu Menglin also shouted, "Do you think I was aware of it? But if you don't destroy these little demons as soon as possible, you will also burn them to death." She had suffered from fire bats and knew the pros and cons of it. The young man shouted, "Listen to me, I have a problem. Let's start the machine and release poisonous smoke to kill the fire bats." Chu Menglin sneered, "It's a pity that poisonous smoke does not recognize its identity, and it will also work for humans. What's the virtue of these fire bats? If you die, I will have to be buried with me?"

The young man said, "I have thought about it all. Let the three of us dive to the bottom of the blood pool to avoid it for a while, and wait until the poisonous smoke in the hall is gone before going ashore."

Chu Menglin sneered: "If you want to smoke the bats to death, poisonous smoke will inevitably spread throughout the hall. This room is closed and has not been ventilated for a long time. I don't know when the gas will dissipate. I'm afraid that it will be drowned at the bottom of the pool by then." Speaking of this, she sighed quietly, counted with her fingers: "I was trapped in the corridor, beaten to death by Zen sticks, and shot to death by arrows; now she is either buried alive, burned to death by fire, smoke to death by poison, or suffocated to death by water. This situation... seems to be dead at all times."

The young man swung out a sword and swept the two bats together, but they did not burn each other. The young man shook his head and sighed, "Even stupid people know how to pay attention to the difference between people." He turned his head while he continued to joke with Chu Menglin: "It's good to die at all sides, but it's a pity that there are not enough numbers, otherwise he will get the 'nine deaths' and then he will have the 'life' later. I tell you, since you have to die no matter how you die, why not try it as I said, maybe you don't suffocate to death at the bottom of the water, and the probability of hitting the great fortune is at least one-fifth, barely called 'four deaths and one life'. If you don't try, you will definitely die, and you will die ten."

Chu Menglin was hesitant. Although Duoduo heard that although he was in a cynical tone, he had some truths and was barely worth a try. He asked, "Are you sure?" The young man said, "Everything in the world is absolutely foolproof. If you want to hear a complete plan, no one can come up with it. Just take one step at a time and think it's a bet. One game determines the world. If you win, you will die. If you lose, you will be dead. If you don't have a good fortune in gambling. Okay, I count one, two, and I will listen to you. Is it not to bet? One, two——" Duoduo said hurriedly: "Okay, I will listen to you."

The young man smiled slightly and said, "That's right. Please help me to pull a few bats away, and then jump into the blood pool quickly." He retreated and moved to the pillar, put the rope on the winch, pulled the rope head by hand, dragged it all the way to the edge of the pool, and then jumped into the pool, pulling the rope tremblingly. Just as he saw the monster open his mouth, he immediately buried his head in the blood. Unexpectedly, a few bats followed, one of the ropes that fell to the ground, grabbed the claws and burned the rope. The three of them saw a few clusters of flames coming out of the rope, and then broke off with a "bang".

Chu Menglin shouted timidly: "Hey, you...you go nearer. It is better to sacrifice one than everyone dies."

The young man thought angrily: "I am a scapegoat today. If I don't die, you won't be willing to say anything." He dragged his wet pants and climbed up the path, walked to the mechanism, stretched out his hand a few times and then retracted. He always felt that the distance was too far, and he couldn't jump to the pool. Another bat just flew to the point where the young man had an idea and tore off half of his sleeves on the winch. The bat flapped his wings and flew to the winch and fell down. The young man waved his long sword and slashed at the top of his head. The bat was also a very spiritual thing and knew how to shrink his head and dodge. It was his head down that his whole body sank. In order to stand firm, his claws also pressed down and moved the winch invisibly. It stood on the top of the winch, facing the green-faced beast. When the poisonous smoke was sprayed out, it covered its entire body. The bat didn't know what happened, so it fell straight down and stopped moving.

After wielding the sword to scare, the young man turned around and jumped into the blood pool, made a gesture, and the three of them buried their heads together. This time, they successfully released poison gas and were able to protect themselves, which was a complete victory.

Only blood flowing constantly on the surface of the blood pool was seen, and there was a cave under the pool. The bottom was covered with milky white pebbles, mixed with a small path of sheep intestine. Not far away, he moved a big stone to reveal a hole. The terrain in the cave was low, only crawling, the passage winded upward, and there were many turns. The three of them were dizzy. The air was very humid, and the smell of mold was faintly mixed. Chu Menglin's stomach was tangled and almost vomited. He pressed his chest with his hand, trying his best to suppress the rising annoyance in his body. At this time, he suddenly felt the pressure on his head and his neck could also turn gently.

When you climb out of the cave, you are standing there is a small platform, which is still floating on a red blood. But the difference is that the "gurgling" bubbles in the pond can feel the heat vapor when you get close to it. It is similar to the magma. The water temperature has reached boiling, and it is impossible to get there in Sishui. The blood pool is vast, with seven platforms floating around, independent of each other and not connected to each other. A steep cliff stands directly opposite, with half of the stone rock protruding at the middle and upper end. The rock surface is relatively wide, and you can see a magnificent gate, and the Panlong Stone Carving stands on both sides.

The stone rock is high, and the three of them think that they are not very skillful. Some iron chains in the air are connected to the hole wall, extending horizontally until halfway. There is a short black painted column standing in the northeast corner of the platform. The column body is engraved with a concave and convex "生" character, and a slender handle is connected to the top, but the shape is very similar to the rocker pulling the wooden barrel out of the well. This is also a mechanism, and when it is opened, it seems that you can just pull it down.

Chu Menglin didn't dare to act rashly and asked, "Look, is this mechanism turned on?" The young man said to himself, "Very good, you finally understand fear. If people are afraid, they dare not act rashly." Cleared his throat and said, "Is the mechanism? It can be opened, or not. But look at this small platform, there is only such a thing, and when it reaches a point where there is no choice, you can only open it. But do you still remember that on the last wooden piece, the mysterious sequence with unknown uses?"

Chu Menglin said disdainfully: "Who is talking to you?" She asked Duoduo again. The young man sneered: "Very good, my suggestion is not a suggestion, right? Then I will no longer make myself bored."

Duoduo ignored Chu Menglin and only consulted the young man: "What did you say just now?" The young man raised his head, did not meet his eyes, deliberately looked around, pretending to be a fool, and said with a smile: "Huh? Did anyone talk just now? Why didn't I hear it?" Duoduo said impatiently: "Okay, there is still something to pretend to be with me? I think what you said is useful and I'm about to ask for advice." The young man said: "Oh, maybe I accidentally sneeze and made a noise. It's so offensive, rude, so please forgive me."

Duoduo was angry and thought to himself: "I said I would like to ask you for advice. I respect you and don't know what you are. You dare to show my face to me? I thought I wouldn't be able to do without you?" He gained ideas from the youth's words, and suddenly realized. He took out the wood chip and thought for a while. The thought in his mind was formed. He asked him only to ask for confirmation. At this time, he spoke: "I think this mechanism cannot be opened. There are seven platforms around, which should be compared with seven numbers and must be opened one by one in the order of numbers."

The young man thought to himself, "It's great. When the eyes blink, the old hen turns into a duck. It was clearly what I thought of, but in a blink of an eye it turned out to be what he thought of. The opera troupe was not as quick as he could turn into a living person. The little girl Chu Menglin must have praised him very much again."

Sure enough, I heard Chu Menglin praise it: "It makes sense, you are right! The sequence is 'Sanlu Yisi 257', and the first thing we are looking for is the No. 3 mechanism." Duoduo nodded and said: "Yes. In addition, all mechanisms should be handed over to one person to prevent the order from being inconsistent."

Chu Menglin recommended herself and stepped on the pedal next to the platform first. The pedal was extremely small in size, allowing only one person to stand with his feet together. As soon as he stood firm, the pedal floated into the blood pool. After a while, he boarded another platform. The layout was basically the same as the former. The word "官" was engraved on the machine. After changing several places, he found a short column with number three engraved.

Chu Menglin held the handle, took a deep breath, pulled down, and rumbling above her head. Several iron chains deviated from their original position and extended in different directions, but there was still a large gap in it. After opening the Land-based mechanism, the No. 3 platform suddenly rose to the air, at the same height as the chain, and a string of iron hooks hung on the hole along the east side, and an iron column was supported by an iron column. Every time a mechanism was opened, the previous platform adjacent to it would rise.
