Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 21 Moving Walls

"Wait a minute, look here!" After walking a few steps, I found an abnormality on the stone wall on the right side of the passage. There is an "X"-shaped symbol here, which seems to be chiseled with a sharp tool. "Is it possible?" Then there was the English alphabet?"

"Nonsense again!" Xin Ran kicked me with a smile and said, "I think it's just a cross, maybe it's a mark or something."

Mr. Qi stared at the "X" on the wall for a long time before he came back to his senses and shouted: "Go back!"

Su Heluo has already found a place to sit in the tomb at this moment, and he is puzzled when he sees us leaving and returning so quickly.

Elder Qi turned around and led us into another passage.As soon as we entered this time, we began to pay attention to the wall on the right. Sure enough, after walking a few steps, we found another engraved mark with three horizontal bars engraved on it.

"It's a number!"

Elder Qi and I responded almost in unison.

The previous "X" can be interpreted in many ways, but the most straightforward understanding of "three" is the number three. If it is inferred from this, then "X" can be a way of writing the number "five".

To be on the safe side, we entered the first passage on the left (that is, the sixth from the right on the left wall), and found that the engraved seal script six on the inside wall.

Mr. Qi standing in the cave pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at me, and said: "These symbols carved on the wall are numbers, and they should have been carved by the people of Yan Kingdom. The information to decipher these passages may be hidden in your above the child."

Hearing what he said, I immediately reacted.The "fourth from the left", "sixth in the middle" and "third from the right" are hidden on the three sets of laces. Doesn't it just correspond to the numbers of the door openings on the left, middle and right walls?But since this is the place of the Shuangjiu clan, why is it related to the Yan Kingdom?This is what I can't understand.

But at the moment when I was not thinking about this, I said to Mr. Qi: "Fourth from the left. The words hidden on my strap are 'fourth from the left'." While talking, I took out my mobile phone and showed Mr. Qi how I was The photographed planar rubbings and the linked text.

"Go, go to the passage number four on the left." Qi Lao nodded and greeted us.We followed him out of doorway number six and into the doorway between number three and number five.

Su Heluo sat on the side, watching us coming in and out, as if he had become numb, he simply leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

After entering the No. [-] door opening, we quickly saw the "four" engraved on the wall, and just like the one on my leash, it was written in Yanwen.

"Do you still know what's hidden on the other two straps?" Qi Lao's voice suddenly came from the front.

This question caught me all of a sudden, and I didn't know how to answer it.Now there are only Qi Lao, me and Xinran in the passage. I seem to be able to tell the cause and effect of the matter, but I am not sure if this is the best time.

"It seems that you do know, I believe you must have a lot of doubts now. I can try to answer your two questions. But the other two sets of information you know, please tell me, this can help us solve the immediate dilemma " Seeing that I hesitated for a moment, Mr. Qi continued to speak.

It turned out that Mr. Qi was also probing, and my hesitation directly betrayed myself.In any case, in order to further decipher, the other two sets of information cannot be hidden.What's more, Zhao Longyu and Su Heluo were also dismissed by Mr. Qi, so I didn't have to worry about it, so I just said, "Don't blame Mr. Qi, although the other two lesbians are not with me, I am lucky enough to see you." I’ve been there, and I know the hidden information. I didn’t say it before, because I was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. Right now, everyone is in the same boat, and I have nothing to hide.”

I continued: "The other two sets of information are 'secondary six' and 'right third'. However, I do have a lot of doubts, so please ask Mr. Qi to answer one or two."

"You have a good chance." Qi Lao smiled after hearing this, "You can ask, but I think your first question is, since this is the relic of the Shuangjiu family, why are there Yan people?"

"Exactly!" I was surprised and replied.

"Actually, it's not difficult to understand that those Yan people did exactly the same thing as us." Qi Lao said as he walked, "They are not ordinary people, but a well-trained army. If not, why are they in the mountains? Dig such a long official robbery hole."

"A well-trained army of tomb robbers?" Xin Ran exclaimed in surprise.

"I thought it was Cao Cao's army that pioneered official robbers, so this Yan army is the ancestor of the official robber world." I said dumbfounded, "Old Qi, my second question is , how did you know about this ruin?"

Elder Qi stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at me, with a calm and breezy expression on his expression.He took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to me, and said, "I've already guessed that you would ask this question. I wrote this down before departure. If you can go out, open it and read it."

"Grandpa, don't scare him. With you here, who can keep us?" Seeing me stunned for a moment, Xin Ran took the envelope and stuffed it into my hand, then said to Qi Lao.

Old Qi's laughter came from ahead.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a white wall nearly three meters high suddenly appeared in front of the passage, blocking the road tightly.

"Is it a dead end?" I leaned in front of the wall, looked around, and found that there was a slight gap between the surrounding of the white wall and the passage.

"This texture...why does it look like wood." Xin Ran touched the white wall, wondering.

I put my right hand on the wall and pushed forward, and the wall was pushed a little by me.

When the wall moved, I was also startled.I turned my head to look at Elder Qi, puzzled and said: "What's the situation, how can this wall still be pushed?"

Elder Qi also followed in front of the wall, pushed it, and the wall moved forward a few more points.

"Then let's push it away?" I asked.There seemed to be no other way to move forward.

Seeing Mr. Qi nodded, Xinran and I pushed the wall forward.Fortunately, the weight of this wall is not heavy, and it is not so strenuous to push it.

After about dozens of steps, we heard a "click" from behind the wall in front of us, but before we could think about it, we heard old Qi shouting from behind: "Push!"

Xinran and I pushed forward a few meters before stopping. Looking back, there was a white wall that was slowly falling where we were standing just now...

In this way, the three of us were caught between two white walls.

This stuffy feeling was so hard on me that I walked up to the white wall behind me, trying to push it away.I pushed hard, but the white wall didn't move at all. I took two steps back and pushed forward with all my strength, but the white wall still didn't move at all.

At this moment, my heart turned cold, and I looked back at Qi Lao and Xin Ran, and said in a trembling voice: "This wall can't be pushed."

"How is it possible!" Xin Ran didn't believe in evil, and walked up to us, and we pushed against the wall together, but the wall still didn't move.We hurried back to push the previous wall.Fortunately, it is still the same as before, able to move.

Elder Qi was squatting by the wall of the passage, groping for something, and then said: "The wall here has been tampered with."

We bent down and took a closer look, only to find that there are many small bumps on the wall and the ground here. When we look into the gap between the white wall and the wall, the side of the white wall seems to be covered with a layer of scales, densely packed. Very scary.

"I know!" exclaimed Xin Ran, "the principle is the same as hair strands, you pull a strand of hair in the palm of your hand, you can push it in one direction, but it won't move in the other direction, because there are also hairs on the strands of hair. Scale structure. So is this wall, so it can only be pushed in one direction!"

"So that's it, it doesn't look scary like this! The designers here like to create psychological pressure to scare us, as long as we know the principle, it's not a big deal." I stood up and said.

Xinran and I continued to push the wall. After pushing for more than ten meters, it seemed that something had changed. The wall was more difficult to push than before.

"Look at the ground!" I noticed an abnormality. The uneven stone bricks under our feet turned into a white scaly pavement at this section, much like the side of the white wall I saw just now.

Xin Ran looked at it and said: "It should be because of this that the wall becomes difficult to push."

The white scale-like road under his feet only lasted for a short two or three meters before it turned into stone bricks again.After walking through a section of stone bricks, it turned into a white scaly road.This was repeated four or five times.

With a light hand, the white wall in front of us slanted and slid into a rectangular hole, which just filled the hole tightly, and our vision suddenly became wider.

Only then did we realize that what we were pushing was not a wall at all, but a cuboid about three meters high (the height of the passage), two meters long (the width of the passage), and three meters wide (the width of the pit). From this point of view, the white scales on the road just now should be formed by the cuboid that slipped into the pit.

We lit up and looked forward. On the ground in front of us, there is a square pit at every interval, which continues to the distance...
