"Remember, where did the footsteps come from?" Wuming finally had no choice but to ask Gu Chunxia again.
After all, she was the first and only executor who might know clues to the secret room.
Before the search just now, he had actually understood Gu Chunxia's previous experience completely, but the search for such a long time had no results, so he could only focus on her again.
Anonymously wondered if Gu Chunxia had forgotten some important clues because she was too scared at the time.
Gu Chunxia was also confused. She didn't feel impatient when she heard the nameless questioning. Instead, she pointed at her feet, "It was near this hall. I was in the back room at the time. It didn't sound very real, but when I came here, , But really feel that there is information about other people's activities nearby."
Wuming, leaning on a walking stick, limped and began to check every floor tile, and hit the floor tile with the end of the tree trunk.
But judging from the thick feeling, it seems that there really is no hollow situation.
Wuming was also a little helpless. He squinted his eyes. At this moment, he finally remembered Xu Lang. He turned to Gu Chunxia and asked, "Where is Xu Lang?"
"He just went out." John pointed to the yard.
The three of them all looked at the quiet courtyard together, and saw Xu Lang facing the moonlight, tilting his head and looking at a certain place in the old house intently, as if he had already lost consciousness. Remember URL
Seeing Xu Lang's appearance, Wuming thought he could not accept the reality that he was about to lose his sight. He sighed in his heart and began to walk towards the yard with crutches.
When Wuming approached Xu Lang, he looked at Xu Lang's eyes and finally understood that this was not absent-minded, but discovered.
When Xu Lang saw the arrival of the nameless, there was nothing nonsense. He pointed to the beam of the old house, "Do you think there is something wrong there?"
Wuming turned sideways, stopped alongside Xu Lang and began to observe the structure of the old house.
But the more he looked at him, the more frowning he frowned, because his night eyes didn't find anything unusual.
Hearing Wuming's silence, Xu Lang chuckled, "Don't try to observe the meticulous construction of the beams, you can try to squint your eyes to see the overall direction of the roof of the old house."
Anonymous knew that Xu Lang had discovered something, and did not hesitate. He observed everything in accordance with his words. At first glance, there was nothing to discover, but when his vision began to blur, he was not limited to one place, and he began to observe the old in another way. House.
He suddenly discovered that the roof of the old house was not right!
Asymmetry!
Along the very center of the old house, the large area of beams is an arch, and the two sides are connected to the beams of the left and right rooms.
It stands to reason that in terms of traditional architectural styles, symmetrical beauty is emphasized, which is also in line with the modest style of traditional culture, which is an artistic aesthetic that cannot be compounded.
However, in this old house, the distance between the beams in the left room and the arched roof in the middle is partly longer than the connection on the right!
This point, if you look at it in the way normal people find faults, you can't find it.
Only by re-examining the overall architectural style and structure of the old house will we find clues!
If you put this position into the structure of the room, then the space between the hall and the inner room on the left should be longer!
This is more distance than the inner room on the right.
In other words, there is more space between the lobby and the room they were in before!
Wuming took a breath. This kind of mechanism technique is extremely profound and obscure, and ordinary modern people can't touch it at all, and the design is too ingenious. If they are inside the house, they will not be able to feel the abnormality anyway!
This is also a coincidence. Because of eye problems, Xu Lang went out to breathe, and finally found the strangeness from an alternative perspective!
Xu Lang smiled slightly, "Let's go, this time we can narrow the search scope."
The two walked side by side into the lobby of the old house. There was this large wooden screen behind the lobby, which also played a role in blocking hospitality and entry.
Behind the screen, there are two doors, one on the left and one on the right, which are the entrances to the rooms on both sides.
According to previous observations, Xu Lang and Wuming went straight to the left entrance.
Obviously, if there is a secret room, it is between the screen and the entrance!
Wuming explained Xu Lang's conjecture to Gu Chunxia and John, and the four began to search the area less than a few square meters.
Every floor tile and every platform were searched hard, but it took only five minutes for four people to check everything carefully in such a big place, but in the end they still found nothing.
John's physical strength was already exhausted, and coupled with long and meticulous work, his heart was exhausted.
As he stepped back, he waved his hand and said, "This is not the way to find it, so let's take a break, don't rush for a while..."
But before he finished speaking, his backward body slammed into the rear screen.
With a bang, the eyes of the other people were attracted, and he saw that John was holding the screen with one hand and covering his chest with the other. His eyes widened and he didn't understand why everyone else was looking at him.
"You..." 360 Literature Network
Xu Lang and others looked at John rather than at the screen he was holding!
This screen is all carved out of wood, with Feng Shui engraved on the front and a simple white board on the back, but the whole material is extremely thin, hollowed out at the bottom, but there are wooden roots supporting the ground.
Although John is aging, but the weight of his whole body is placed there, how can he not move under a push
John also noticed something was wrong at this time, turned around and patted the screen, but he didn't move at all, as if it had taken root on the ground, and was extremely firm.
"How can it be so strong?"
Although Xu Lang's eyes were distressed at this time, he could still see the outline of such a big object. He said, "Yes, it is too strong, as if it had grown on the ground!"
Wuming heard the words, his eyes drenched, he understood the meaning of Xu Lang's words, went directly to the screen, first observed the cover, then leaned down and carefully looked at the two-fingered wooden root on the left.
The wooden root was inserted straight into the floor tiles, and it looked like it was really growing on the ground. He touched it slightly with his hand, but he felt that the wooden root seemed to be very flexible.
Wuming raised his head, "Be prepared and stand in the corner!"
Everyone knew what would happen next, and each of them leaned against the root of the wall with joy.
Seeing this without name, without hesitation, he clenched Mugen and turned around suddenly.
Then Xu Lang felt that the floor tiles under his feet seemed to vibrate, and the dust around him began to tremble with the shaking of the ground, and he could even hear the twitching sound of chains coming from the ground!
The moment he turned the mechanism anonymously, he was ready, leaning to the side, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of him.
Sure enough, in the area they searched before, about two square meters in the center, a square collapse began to appear.
A block of stone bricks began to sink, driving a large amount of dust down. This step was slow and mechanical, but the nameless heart finally let go.
After a while, the stone bricks began to stop sinking, and everyone heard a rustle.
Wuming glanced over his head and saw that a wooden slide suddenly appeared under the sinking stone brick, and in the dark environment below, the nameless night eye played a role.
He can see that this is exactly a secret road!
No wonder every stone brick does not feel hollow, because their backs are embedded with wooden boards, and once the mechanism starts, it will fall.
This kind of semi-automated mechanism has given a few people here a lot of insight.
Wuming leaned on a cane and came to the entrance of the secret passage, and said to Xu Lang and others: "I'll open the way first."
The other people looked at each other, and John's situation was not much better than that of Wuming, and even if he had close contact, he would not be able to beat the current Wuming.
Not to mention Gu Chunxia, Xu Lang's eyes are even weaker in this situation.
Although Wuming was seriously injured, after a period of recuperation, except for the inability of his right hand and feet to move normally, other aspects were not bad.
Xu Lang thought for a while, and finally took out the gun from his arms and handed it to Wuming, "In my case, it doesn't matter whether it has it or not."
Wuming thought for a while and didn't pretend to shirk it, took it with his left hand, and retreated directly into his sleeve, ready to take it out at any time, and walked down the secret path first.
Next are Xu Lang, John, and Gu Chunxia as last.
As soon as I entered the secret passage, a feeling of cold and damp came to my heart. Everyone shuddered, and a little bit of dew dripped on the walls from time to time.
Wuming looked around, and whispered: "I don't rule out the possibility that there are still people from Taohua Village in the secret road. It's best not to head-on in this situation. We should not make any noise as much as possible, so as to avoid the grass and the snake."
There is no light source around, making Xu Lang's unbearable vision even more difficult to function, almost just walking forward based on feelings.
Xu Lang stepped on the soft and damp dirt road, with a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was stepping on human flesh and blood, and each foot was sunk in half of the sole, but if he continued walking, he could not feel the mud sticky. Shoes.
This narrow and closed secret passage always makes Xu Lang feel a bad feeling in his heart.
I don’t know how long it has been, Xu Lang’s dim vision began to glow, the nameless body in front of him suddenly paused, turned his head and said, "There is a corner ahead, and a light source appears, be careful."
Hearing this, Xu Lang's heart couldn't help but tighten, which shows that there is a high possibility that a living person will appear ahead!
In the secret way, their original purpose was to obtain some clues, but even Xu Lang was not ready to face the Taohua Village people head-on.
But Wuming was already a step ahead and walked into the corner. Xu Lang thought to himself that there was no need to retreat since he was here.
Several people walked forward again.
And then, a light bulb appeared in front of them, illuminating the front.
Wuming was at the forefront, his pupils shrank, and his body stopped, because a large area of straw was piled up in a patchwork pattern in the stone room in front, almost filling the entire stone room with the ceiling!
It turned out that all the straw in Taohua Village was piled up here.
And just as they came to the front, a voice that did not belong to any of the four people suddenly sounded in the stone room. Unexpectedly, the nameless in the front was caught off guard, and the soles of his feet slipped and fell to the front of the straw pile!
